The Cause of Terrorism

1. July 2008 | Kategorie restaurant | 0 Kommentare »

The cause of terrorism is ignorance. The cause of war is
ignorance. The cause of poverty is ignorance. The cause of violence is
fear. The cause of fear is ignorance. The cause of hunger anywhere, is
ignorance. But ignorance is bliss and what you don’t know can’t hurt you.
Cursed be the lips that utter such great lies!

The world does not know or want to
know that EVERYTHING IS IN DIVINE
ORDER. The moment it knows this, the
world is transformed. I take exception
to those who believe we are evolving.
Look at the accelerated rate of change
everywhere and as certainly as the
earth revolves, we are in revolution.
There will be more change in the next
20 years than in the history of
humankind. This is not evolution by a
long shot. Transformations take place
in a mere lunar cycle.

Teach a man to fish and you feed
him for life. Teach a child to fish and
she will teach 10 others. Why don’t we
teach what every person needs to
know? How to produce the food that
brings us life. What if we all believed
we did not need to kill each other to
eat? Would we choose to be gardeners
or soldiers?

Schools are for fish. The Piscean
Age is dead. Long live the Aquarian
Age! It is not just how we teach
children but what we teach. Schools
were a bad idea from the start.
Socializing with peers is code for
propagandizing a group to manipulate
and manage it. It is not far removed
from military training and the military is
an attractive outcome for many
graduates. How many more armies do
we need to train from 3 or 4 years old?
Not many, I say.

Every child should be read to from
Deepak Chopra’s “7 Spiritual Laws of
Success” and every responsible parent
or guardian should have Deepak’s “7
Spiritual Laws of Success for Parents” in
which Deepak guides teachers of
children, age appropriate explanations
of the laws. We don’t need a central
schoolhouse to discharge such duties to
children.

Healthy children are human
dynamos of energy. They have always
been multi-functional. Why not balance
their days with formal learning,
informal learning, productive work and
play? If we can’t do the formal teaching
ourselves, the child could easily be
earning enough to pay tutors and
travelling instructors. The more formal
training the child wants, the more
productive work she will do. The entire
family benefits. If you are raising a
child in an alternative home, the child
bears little stigma. The student who
desires a superior education has the
means to obtain it. The student who
does not, can have just what is
necessary to her goals in life, which she
might form at an early age. The main
thrust of home school should be
exposure, exposure, exposure. Flood a
child’s imagination with possibilities.
Imagination was an undesirable trait for
machine age people and stamped out
at every opportunity.

Free the children and we free the
world. It need take less than a 20 year
generation to make this happen and
now is the time to begin. Let the people
of the earth work at or near their
homes, with the children at their sides.

The economic power of a society lies
in its agriculture. Western power is
watered down, mired in debt, just like
business and politics. If we want
economic power, we must produce and
market surplus food that is of much
higher quality than what we call food
today. 21st Century bio dynamic
orchards and gardens with local
marketing will decentralize agriculture
and then governments.

Centralization was foisted upon
America by Federalists at the
Philadelphia Constitutional Convention,
which was intended only to improve the
Articles of Confederation. Elitists
wanted powerful central government,
created it and ramrodded it past the
state governments that did not want it,
in a clever end run. The new nation
Lincoln spoke about so eloquently was
an elitist fraud that will end under the
crush of its own weight or lack of
support, or nuclear destruction in the
near future.

Institutional government exists
when personal self government lacks
purpose. When self government has
positive purpose, institutions become
voluntary affairs and their use sharply
limited, affordable and never forced.

Force undoes itself almost as rapidly
as it is employed. It takes a long time
for the forceful to get the message.
Sometimes it takes even longer for its
target to understand. It can ALWAYS be
side stepped, one way or another.
Often it is only a matter of planning.

I was once taught that people spend
more time planning a two week
vacation, than they spend planning
their lives. I believe this is true and it is
time to change. People with plans are
much less easily fooled by the few with
the great plans for the rest of us. What
if we all planned to change the things
we do not like? Would we stand a better
chance than with no plan? No matter
what we want to change, there is both
a positive and negative way to do it.
Often many ways. Let’s choose the
positive and enjoy the work.

Let Doctor Chopra give the whole
world his small, pivotal books,
electronically and in the appropriate
language. He is a great writer who can
sell millions of his other books as a
result of the global distribution of the “7
Spiritual Laws of Success” and its
companion for parents.

Oh Aquarius! Age of Science and
Brotherhood. Let the world see that
science plus brotherhood equal
godliness. Let the world know that
science is not decided by authority but
in its usefulness to me and all I care
about. I am an Aquarian scientist. You
are too, no matter how sloppy your
notes. Great is the harvest. Few are the
laborers. We have a new world to build
when the smoke clears and in the
present moment. Desire this, accept
this, enjoy this and many more will
come to this.

In Life Preparation is Everything

19. June 2008 | Kategorie restaurant | 0 Kommentare »

It dawned on me earlier today how much of life is preparation. I mean think about it, we prepare for our grownup life by going to school from 12-20 years; we prepare for most any sport by practicing for hours on end, we practice at marriage by dating and dating and dating; we prepare food, we prepare presentations, we prepare, well you get the idea.

So, it would seem to the casual observer that preparation is inherent to life wouldn’t it? Well, I guess not.

As we look at the problems in America, as well as around the world today, there are a whole host of issues that are common to many countries. Not being alone adds some comfort in the overall scheme, but very little to solutions as many countries don’t want to work together. The UN has become virtually worthless, so it comes down to individual countries, their allies and ordinary citizens doing what they can in their own best interests.

Immigration in Europe is almost as big of a controversy as it is in America. Oil prices are of concern to all citizens of the planet, with the possible exception of residents of Saudi Arabia. Aids, cancer, malaria, Tuberculosis, Leukemia, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes and many other forms of illness still attack world without mercy.

Terrorism is high on lists around the globe, dictators continue to pillage their countries and keep their people isolated, hungry and poor, and hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons and tidal waves constantly wreak havoc.

As you look at each of these issues preparation by civilized governments is key to survival and progress.

As an individual, I can do very little except prepare for my family and myself. Oh, sure, I can vote for political candidates that espouse intentions of devoting time and energy to the issues that face us, but so much of that is hot air. Yes, some good is accomplished, and I’m appreciative of whatever gets done, especially delivering food, fuel, the mail and defending the borders.

I often feel that I can better prepare myself by just being as happy as I can, prepare for disasters where possible and move about life living one day at a time. If I concentrate on avoiding the bad things in life, I’ll never live the good things thoroughly.

So, the bottom line is prepare in the ways you deem important to you: stock up on can goods, water, toilet paper, chocolate covered raisins, toothpaste, or whatever trips your triggers and move on, play, smile, be happy, tell jokes, in other words, prepare what you can and otherwise enjoy life.

In the end, it’s just one man’s opinionmine.

I Ain’t Eating No Chitlins

17. May 2008 | Kategorie restaurant | 0 Kommentare »

It’s amazing how many people continue to entertain the notion that we Black Americans are all alike. Instead of believing what their eyes see, and what their total life experience clearly has taught them, many believe that we all think and behave the same. Whether this is a reflection of erroneous teaching passed down through generations, ignorance - or both - the phenomenon intrigues me.
So listen up… No, all of us don’t respond well to the accented greeting “What’s happenin’ brutha?” at the corner store - especially when we just heard you say “Hello, how are you today?” to the previous three non-Black customers. And no, we all don’t like chitlins. At least I don’t. I was a chitlin’ hater before I ever saw one. Check this out…

I was 3, growing up in the projects of Portsmouth, Ohio. I walked over to my Grandma’s building (kids could walk around the neighborhood back then…) and, when I stopped at her door, I smelled something funky. Yeah, I thought I had boo-booed in my pants, so I checked. When Grandma came to the door, I immediately said “Grandma I didn’t boo-boo!”, so I wouldn’t get a whuppin’. Instead, she looked at me kindly and said “Naw baby, it’s ok. That’s supper cooking.” And that was that. Chitlins and me could NEVER be friends.

We Black folks are as different, within our race, as any other folk. We have our own individual opinions on every subject. We have different ways of doing things. We like different kinds of music. We don’t view politics the same.

Me and politics? Thanks for asking! I am all messed up, and I hate it. I am neither Democratic nor Republican. On the one hand, I can’t be a straight-up Democrat. I believe abortion is the murder of an innocent child, and I cannot condone it, under most circumstances. I believe this nation will be severely judged by God for the millions of lives we have slaughtered in the name of convenience and choice. So the donkey platform is shaky. That’s my opinion. On the other hand, I certainly can’t be a card-carrying Republican, either. Take away affirmative action and that’ll level the playing field… please. Until the hearts of all men are pure, and true justice reigns (not happenin’ today!) we must maintain federal and state programs just to stay on the field. And there are, of course, many other cons and pros.

What I’m trying to say is this: I am a man first, just me. I am a Black man second. Yes, we Black men and women have some collective concerns, a certain amount of shared pathos , arising from our shared painful past which we are daily changing to a triumphant future - but we are each something more fundamental than a cog in a Great Black Cause. I am, like you - just me.

Let me just speak for myself. (Insert deep breath sound here:)

When it really comes down to it, I am just a dude trying to get as close to God as I can, work an honest day and live an honest life, prepare my children to be smarter and better and stronger and richer and more godly than I am, be a general blessing to my fellow man, stay out of jail and not go to hell when I finally die - hopefully with some honor, a long time from now. (exhale here)

Yeah, you probably think this way, too. Whom ever you are… In this way, I guess we Blacks aren’t the only ones who are just alike. We are ALL pretty much alike when it comes right down to it, aren’t we?

Just remember one thing: You may - and it’s cool - but I ain’t eating no chitlins… BKB
