Our World

Hi everyone My son Mike told me about this place and I think it's great. My generation I am 47 somehow has become numb to what is happening in our world. How have we let our children think that solving their issues with violence is ok. We have turned a blind eye to taking responsibility to this. We need to stand up and tell our children and the world that it is not acceptable anymore to use violence to solve our problems. It doesn't work. I read a book once by Elizabeth Peters It was just a… Continue

Just wondering

I'm always writing random thoughts down on random pieces of paper and today I came across these two from a few years ago. Does anyone else think about these things or have an opinion? I'm going to type them as I wrote them, so it may not be that easy to follow.

From a spiritual/mythological/psychological point of view - what are the connections in recorded history (particularly in relation to the Judaic/Christian/Muslim religious traditions) between indigenous peoples of the world,… Continue

Terrible, upsetting letter to me from Mcdermitt.

Before I remove myself from this web site. that I had been enjoying, I would like to thank those that kindly wrote to me, and made my day.
I have now been totally insulted and disturbed by ignorant comments by someone, insulting me and my love of animals and my work in Africa.
I dont need to be exposed to this kind of person in my life.
Thank you All. Namaste. Veda.

sprouts from a single acorn.
The journey of a thousand miles
starts from beneath your feet.

I Want to Understand It All... a song from Robert B+ about the meaning of Life

"I Want to Understand It All"

What are you going to write about now? What are you going to write about now?

I've got to write about the bliss Reality. Such magnificent creation.

I've got to write about it. I just can't live without it. I want to understand it all.

What are you going to sing about now? What are you going to sing about now?

I've got to sing about to perceive Reality and all phenomenon surround.

Why is the physical Universe?… Continue

Are you Good Enough to go to Heaven?

The way to find this out is to ask yourself if you have obeyed the Ten Commandments. Most would answer the question, "Well, I've broken one or two, but nothing too serious, like murder, etc.' So, let's go through them and see how you do:

1. You shall have no other gods before me.'

2. You shall not make for yourself any graven image

3. Have you ever taken God's name in vain? You know the list....

Is God first in your life? Do you love God above all else? Have you loved… Continue

Free flowing thoughts

I do not find my power in the grand gesture but in the subtlety, this space wherein truth lies. This subtle gesture of the nuance, held in the softness of it's beauty told is where the mystery lies, drawing myself to be known. This is the place where mystics dwell.

I do not look to find my meaning of who or what I am by others deemed, in what I do or how big it is laid upon the stage. The meaning of who I am is not for myself, held in that which is obvious to the world at large. It… Continue

BUY GOLD! (as if...)

A friend of mine is encouraging me to invest in gold... I had the following thoughts.

...money in any form: digital, paper, gold, salt, etc. are all abstractions of value

...value is a cultural agreement, it is taught, it is not inherent or the truth

...our culture values rare things -- it values scarcity and invents reasons to fear

...our culture values hoarding -- it values consuming more than producing

...and hence, most of us consume much more than we… Continue

Fellow Starseed from Andromeda

I intend to assist in making some major changes in this world. My intention is to travel all around the United States and the whole world to set up facilities that will raise the consciousness and to oversee the re-education of people who are interested in becoming sovereign and want to keep our earth in a pristine condition once the clean-up has been accomplished.
