Being A Human On the Edge of Enlightenment: What happened to the Great Society?

What happened to the Great Society?

What about all of the graft and corruption?? The influence peddling on Capitol Hill has become so brazen and so common that I fear our "Great Society" is far less. I'm not proud of nor was I part of the past when we used to go exploit other countries for whatever we could get....and by no means am I saying that that was good policy or even close to being humanitarian. Well now it seems as if our government has turned on it's own, and started to devour us in much the same way. Willing to sell our society so a few people can become super rich....and the culture of greed is so deep they are grabbing the money with both hands and thinking they can do it forever with impunity.

The engine is money and the quest for more. Bigger profits make investors happy....so that drives decisions like do we continue manufacturing something here in the US and pay a reasonable wage and some benefits to the worker who lives in this country and pays taxes in this country....or do we outsource it to a location where we can pay a severely sub-standard wage and no benefits?

All this influence peddling, graft and corruption will come to the surface as we start to change the people in power. My father used to tell me...."son, oil ALWAYS comes to the top of water, and lies are like oil"! We are seeing that principle come into play now, and I only pray they ALL get caught. Shame on them for what they have been doing!!

Remember...the big dollars get out the big votes, we have to take back our government and get it to start serving it's people in a humble way.....not serving us up like a wheat for the mill. Register and vote!!! Let me know how YOU feel about it!

Here's an interesting set of numbers for you!

OK America......What do you think of this?Are these NBA OR NFL athletes??

36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71,repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving IN THE LAST YEAR!!!

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet? . . . Scroll down,

It's Not the NFL...or the NBA...

it's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of people that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Scientists based at the Satou hospital in Japan found that kissing worked by relaxing the body and reducing the production of histamine – a chemical that the body produces in response to pollen, causing the sneezing, runny noses and streaming eyes that characterise hay fever attacks; 11:40 PM

Do you think that is what Representative Mark Foley was really trying to do? Just help a young boy get over his allergies??

Were we too quick to judge?? LOL; 11:44 AM

Becoming Aware

As I look around me at the world, I think about the things I have learned (personal experience) and the things I have been taught (other peoples experiences) To tell the honest truth I have learned much more in my life then I have ever been taught……but somehow I have been focused more on what I’m being taught then on what I am learning. This difference is subtle yet important.

Being taught is what happens in a classroom. Like automatons kids are TAUGHT what the powers that be want them to learn. I do really mean those words. We are not awakened to the limitless possibilities of human nature…. We are told what to believe and what is “fact”. My experience has told me that facts are only facts until they are dis-proven or shown to be only a first step in understanding.

One thing I was TAUGHT is that “RELIGION” was there to bring comfort to my soul and the soul of the world. The Religious organizations were always in a self professed struggle for our souls with the "powers of darkness"….and only adhering to their word would keep me on a path of righteousness so that I and we would be “acceptable” to the heavenly father. I want you to realize the significance of the fact we are called a “flock” or a “following” and we ACCEPT that term as something endearing and born in love.

Then I looked in my own life and my friends lives and I LEARNED that natural instinct is to want our children to reach and achieve more then we ever did. So am I to conclude the following..if the church speaks for the heavenly father, does the heavenly father want me, his child, to achieve nothing more then to perfect subservience? He does not wish for me what I wish for my own children? Does that make any sense, Or are the words I am being told to believe and follow the words of some person or group that wants to control me? Who's words ARE these and why do I give them more weight then my life's experience? Do I want to just follow leaders blindly and accept what is told to me by people in power ( religious leaders and heads of governments) or supposedly in the “know”or do I want to open my eyes and use my LEARNED life experience to guide me forward?

Have you ever contemplated that there is a vested interest in retaining the status-quo? You and I are to blame for this too because it's EASIER to accept what is told to you....but what about when you get that nagging feeling in your stomach that something just isn't adding up ... doesn't maintaining the status-quo explain allot of “stuff” they tell you not to think about or worry about (Roswell incident) or science that had been learned that was “too important” for the general public to know about (read about Nikola Tesla ) until it had been fully militarized. What great scientific advances are under wraps or just plain being discredited because they are in the public domain? Why don’t they encourage in earnest new scientific endeavors until they try to fully realize how it can be used as an offensive or defensive weapon?

It’s time to remove the wool that has been intentionally pulled over our eyes all these century’s. With the advent of the internet and the decentralization of storage on the web, it is becoming impossible for the continued control of what information you are given. The lies you have been told can now be debunked, the misdirections uncovered and the conspiracies revealed. They try to counter act this by going on the offense to debunk the debunkers or call the newer scientific advances frauds, which in turn has creating a war for your mind. The key word in that last phrase is YOUR mind.

All I hope to achieve with this blog is to have a space in which we can examine different views and bits of knowledge that are out there. My intention is to post things that interest me and might interest you too. Maybe even a place for the synergy of energy to bring like minds here to meet, talk and exchange views on the material presented here.

Thank you for the energy that you bring to this planet.

Namaste’
