Republicans want public employees (rather than crooks on Wall Street) to submit bodily fluids for random drug testing. They want women to submit to vaginal ultrasounds (a form of institutionalized rape) before having an abortion. They want police to stop non-whites on the street and demand proof of citizenship. They want to make it as difficult as possible for the young, the elderly, the poor, and minorities to vote. They want to deny workers the freedom to form a union and do collectively bargaining. To me the only freedom conservatives really believe in is the freedom of the rich and powerful to rip off ordinary working people. I think it is liberals who believe the most in freedom. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: “True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security…. Necessitous men are not free men. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” Liberals believe in freedom from poverty, disease, unfair competition, substandard wages, and fear mongering. Liberals believe in freedom from tainted food, outrageous interest rates, deceptive advertising, hidden charges, and carcinogens in the environment. They believe in a citizen’s right to make his or her own decision about who to love and whether or not to have children. Liberals believe in freedom from unequal treatment because of skin color, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. They believe in the freedom to be a whistleblower or to protest an unnecessary war. Liberals believe in the freedom to compete on a level playing field against those who, by accident of birth, have more money and power. Freedom isn’t freedom unless ever citizen gets it.

Where there is NO SENSE OF REJECTION there will be no loneliness.<br/><br/>I No Longer Reject Myself: <br/>Knowing I am one with all people in the Spirit, I receive everyone as a friend. I establish a close and intimate<br/>relationship with everyone I meet-something goes out from me and becomes unified with them. I include all and exclude none. Higher than all differences is that union of the soul with its Source; beyond all differentiation, the Infinite Person, is enshrined in in the sanctuary of my own consciousness. One with all people, I enjoy this Divine companionship. I embrace the Infinite in everyone and in turn am embraced by it.</strong></em> <br/>Ernest Holmes "Daily Wisdom"<br/><br/>Pamela Williams:<br/><em><strong>When we work on removing all the masks the only thing left to see is the Infinite love of Spirit, in all its forms. Thank you DIVINE. I AM THAT I AM</strong></em> <br/><br/>Bobby Hinkle:<br/><em><strong>Ignore all past teaching and verbal abuse that created feelings of unworthiness in you. Ignore it all, and love yourself, and this love will become like a wave flowing out to everyone. Love begins at home.</strong></em><br/><br/></div>

However, even as a soldier, it was obvious to me and almost every other soldier I knew, that we were wasting much money and way too many soldier's lifes in Viet Nam. My dear Brother Barry, a medivac helicopter pilot, lost his life over there on Sept. 22, 1969. I am not anti-war, yet, now, like Viet Nam, we are making the same tragic mistake in Iraq and Afghanastan. There is where most of our money is going and that is the simple reason for our terrible debt crisis. Obviously, the way out of debt is to get out of those "wars", and with Prosperity Soldiers (see facebook page), we advocate taking care of our beleagured vets, by giving them similar jobs with same pay in a "peacetime" military. Especially locating homeless vets, and getting them to work or if need be medical treatment, and hopefully both! Peace & jobs! Plus, the great bonus of ending our debt. crisis.</strong></em> <br/>Keenan W Robinson: <em><strong>Hmmmmmm Wow!</strong></em> <br/>Ron Alexander: <strong>Absurd, isn't it Keenan - spending so much on war! Peace, ron</strong> <br/><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tMILpnbl3MY/ToGzHZJtyGI/AAAAAAAAB9g/E_5L79IsMG0/s1600/soldiers%2Bin%2BIraq.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tMILpnbl3MY/ToGzHZJtyGI/AAAAAAAAB9g/E_5L79IsMG0/s400/soldiers%2Bin%2BIraq.jpg" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656999546546145378" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 272px; cursor: hand;" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656999546546145378"/></a> <br/><br/><br/>Simple - how we have gotten into such a terrible economic situation. Simple - how to get out of debt. <br/>Today, this older affluent upper middle class gentleman made the comment: who would have thought that our country would be such a terrible economic state? I don't know how we can ever get out of it? I told him about our idea of Prosperity Soldiers - taking the soldiers out of war and putting them to work here on our infrastructure at same pay. I did not press it about ending the wars to do it, as it was obvious he was trying to blame Obama. However, thinking rationally, logically - remember that Clinton had us in black, and the bad debit started when Bush got us into two wars (borrowing much money from China). Most people do not want to hear how much we spend for the wars, but it is astronomical. Also most citizens do not want to hear that our country sends over 50% of our tax dollars to the Pentagon with only about 20% goes to the HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE of all our people. Think about what a sick situation this is - we spend more daily in the wars than we do on our Emergency situations like Hurricane Irene in TOTAL. How sick is that? By withdrawing from both wars, and reducing all the fat(plenty of it), then we could get back to the sane economics of the Clinton years. Of course, it would obviously be sane if the rich & corporations paid their fair share of taxes. By the way, I am not anti-war, I am not far left. I am pro-peace and rational practicality! <strong> </strong><em> </em><br/>Carol Bell: Dear Ron: <em><strong>I read you great piece to Issac in which you mentioned that the military consumes over 50% of our budget. Hate to tell you, ole boy, it if far more than that. You see, the pie charts that show us the nation's expenses is NOT adjusted for revenue. In 2010, Social Security spent 20% but took in 24% so Social Security should not even be a piece of the pie. So let's remove Social Security and Medicare (both revenue producing programs). What happens? The remaining pieces of the pie each get bigger. I estimate that the military IN REALITY spends close to 80% of our budget.</strong></em> <br/><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qphisbiSmM4/ToP1eyG1alI/AAAAAAAAB9w/NldjIP6b9fo/s1600/federal%2Bbudget%2Bpie%2Bchart.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qphisbiSmM4/ToP1eyG1alI/AAAAAAAAB9w/NldjIP6b9fo/s400/federal%2Bbudget%2Bpie%2Bchart.jpg" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657635466102794834" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 225px; display: block; height: 225px; cursor: hand;" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657635466102794834"/></a> <br/><br/><em><strong>Another look at the Fed.

I need to see it more clearly. Thanks.</strong></em> <br/>Ron Alexander: <strong>Hi Carol, thanks again for your comment - I think it is even more accurate...google budget pie, and you will find it. I got a frisbie several years ago with similar pie on it. It was being passed out by an activist sponsored by Ben & Jerry (ice cream) at a Democratic campaign event. I first became dismayed at the great budget divide during the Viet Nam war when I saw so much more money going to that misguided war than to health, education and welfare of all people in our country. I thought it was insane then and it is even doubly more now that our country is going broke while two wars are going on.

How can you make people have peace? Lord, I have tried and tried. I have posted on blogs, sent many emails, letters to editors, made sarcastic remarks, argued, prayed, attended peace vigils, and marched in anti-war parades.<br/>My dear Brother was killed in Viet Nam, quite an impetus to be a “peacemaker”. I was in the Army, and because of him, not in Viet Nam. Barry volunteered to pilot medivac copters, a dangerous mission, as he wanted to save lives rather than kill. He loved the Vietnamese, and all people, that I know of………he was a special beautiful person!<br/>Going to the Viet Nam War Memorial (The Wall), while participating in a Peace March, and getting Barry’s smudge (trace of his name) was a very cathartic experience for me. The long peace march to the shadow of the Pentagon was like flowing in a tide of wonderful humanity, including many youth and Iraq vets and their families. Sure there were radicals from both sides, but overall, walking in peace united in purpose with a large group was wonderful and healing.<br/>When I have found myself in a fighting-rebellious atmosphere in my family and workplace often “making peace" has been like beating my head against the wall. Interestingly, in the old times, guns were called “peacemakers”.<br/>So If I can't "make" peace, what can I do? How can I be a peace blessing to my friends, my community, my family, and the world? I bless myself with a peace of mind first, and then bless others by bringing them my peace - not my arguments, sarcasm and anti-war opinions. It is helpful, to not resist their ideas but listen thoughtfully, ask gentle questions, with possibly a subtle hopefully humorous rebuttal, or at best remain silent and radiate my love and peace . I joyously expect to be the "blessed peace giver"! This newly found philosophy has been much more successful than trying to be a peacemaker, at least to my own peace of mind. Being peaceful takes constant attention for me. If I find that I am having angry fearful thoughts, I go to work on my thinking. My favorite tools are reading inspirational literature, such as the Unity Daily Word, and journal inspirational sentences & affirmations daily. Moment to moment, I find peace within by praying without ceasing. This deep peace at the center of my being radiates outward to all that I meet and beyond! I am so grateful! <strong>Now,for peace, meditation is probably the most important tool for me. Looking forward to going back to do ten day silent retreat meditating Buddha's Vipassana Meditation for ten hours per day and then 2 hours of learning from teacher. Aum Shanti!</strong></strong><br/>Blessyourhearts.blogspot.com <br/><br/><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKf_SGBpY2c/TePh_KRz7wI/AAAAAAAABdI/fYbBaHvAL_g/s1600/Barry%2527smonumentclosercopy.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKf_SGBpY2c/TePh_KRz7wI/AAAAAAAABdI/fYbBaHvAL_g/s400/Barry%2527smonumentclosercopy.jpg" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612578035840839426" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612578035840839426" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 207px; cursor: hand;"/></a><div style="clear: both;"></div>

Whether we like it or not, or whether we accept it or not, this is one of the great truths of life.<br/>Not only should we forgive others, but we should equally forgive ourselves...A great deal of our trouble, both mental and physical, is built on an unconscious sense of rejection and guilt...It is necessary that each of us seek complete forgivingness toward both ourselves and others.<br/>Today I affirm that I forgive everyone and am forgiven by everyone. I affirm that the eternal Spirit harbors no malice toward me or anyone else. Forgiving and being forgiven, I have an inward sense of peace and tranquility. There is no anxiety, no sense of guilt, no fear of judgement. All mistakes of the past are now wiped out in my consciousness and I no longer carry any burden from them. I look forward to the future with joy, peace and gladness, and I live in the present with the inner assurance of being One with All Life.</strong></em> paraphrased from Ernest Holmes'"A Year of Daily Wisdom" <br/>And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye ought against any: that your Father which is also in heaven may forgive your trespasses. ---Mark 11:25<br/><em><strong>It is better to be kind to others than to go all out to prove you are right</strong></em>. ~Dean A.

<div class="post hentry"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><font size="3"><strong>"This Love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness, healing the wounds of experience with its divine balm."<br/>How to Keep the Faith!<br/>I was asked a challenging question the other day, "how do you keep the faith"? <br/>After baking it in the oven of my mind and heart for a couple of days, here is what I come up with - When there is a direct experience of Divine Love, "faith" is not even needed. So "keeping the faith" to me is to keep experiencing those Holy Presents. To be present to those Sacred Gifts. <br/>How does one increase the Direct Divine Experiences, therefore keeping the faith?<br/>"Praying without ceasing" is definitely a way to keep the faith. Meditating alot - I combine the two! Service - Seva is another way. Devotion to the Divine (Bhakti Yoga) is a prime spiritual path for keeping the faith. Giving and receiving the Oneness Blessing is giving and recieving the Sacred Healing Energy of Divine Love, so I participate in three groups and have several one on one sessions during the week.<br/>"This Love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness, healing the wounds of experience with its divine balm."<br/>Reading and writing inspirational writing is another way of keeping the faith. I am inspired by the "Daily Wisdom" of Ernest Holmes and today's Wisdom is especially affirmative:</strong><br/></font><em><strong><font size="3">"The law of the Lord is perfect," and the law of the Lord is love. You are made perfect in the law when you enter into conscious communion with Love. It is only through love that the law can fulfill itself in your experience, because love harmonizes everything, unifies everything. You can never make the most perfect use of the law of your life unless that use is motivated by love. You must imbibe its spirit. This love is more than a sentiment. It is a deep sense of the underlying unity, beauty, and majesty of all life, the goodness running through everything, the givingness of Life to everything.<br/>Say: today I bestow the essence of Love upon everything. Everyone shall be lovely to me. My soul meets the soul of the universe in everyone. Everything is beautiful: everything is meaningful. This Love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness, healing the wounds of experience with its divine balm.<br/>I know that this Love Essence is the very Substance of Life, the creative Principle back of everything, flowing through my whole being, spiritual, mental, and physical. It flows in transcendent loveliness into my world of thought and form, ever renewing, vitalizing, bringing joy, harmony and blessings to everything and everyone it touches.</font></strong></em></h3>

Wed. Aug. 4th. @ Michael & Suzanne's (Oneness Trainers) house in Clearwater, Fl. Doug has the paradoxical qualities of being deep and light, Holy & hilariously humble at same time. He has inspired me, and most likely I am going to India for the Training and a new 28 day "Deepening Process." And I will write more about this meeting, and what I learned from him tomorrow. (This is "tomorrow" - Aug. 5) <br/><br/>With over 100 people attending. Doug shined forth with simple wisdom, delightful humor, and an apparent innocence that had us at the edge of our seats creating a sort of time-less ambience that we did not want to end. <br/><br/>He is a wise and fun representative for Bhagavan's Oneness movement. Calmly communicating a sense of urgency, Doug presented the "stats": We have 1000 days( 2012) to become enlightened and Bhagavan's goal is 70,000 awakened beings by the end of this year. We will change the consciousness of the planet as with each awakened being we affect 100,000 others to awaken (70,000 X 100,000 = 7 billion people.) Already all over the world in the Oneness Movement there are many beings who are already God-realized (in various states of Awakening) and they affect millions of people. The Oneness Blessing (Deeksha in India) is a phenomenon and changing people very rapidly. <br/><br/>Doug talked about three ways of awakening, and how we Westerners are usually on the Intellectual "book after book & workshop after workshop" process which can work but slowly. Then he spoke of a path of seva (service) which is wonderful and faster. However, Doug considers Bhakthi - the path of passionate devotion to God, as the one preferred in India, and may be the fastest. He joked of a direct Divine connection comparing turtle mail to email then DSL, Cable and now the ultimate "fiberoptic". <br/><br/>"As long as we feel like the 'doer', we will feel separate from the Divine. He spoke of new fully surrendered people rolling on the ground with belly laughs with the realization: "I am God" after all else is stripped away."Remember Bhakthi is not a craving but a passion. You have to really want it. Command it and it will happen. The great Surrender - I want it now!" <br/><br/>Doug spoke of this Oneness Blessing Giving (Deeksha) being a phenomenon and not a structure. "Facilitating this phenomenon (Deeksha) is like re-starting an old engine, that has not started in a long time - like a '57 Chevy." <br/><br/>With more humorous simplicity, Doug spoke of the vitalness of setting right relationships starting with forgiving yourself. Self/other acceptance - "A Monk serving an 'Avatar" was not exactly what Doug's parents wanted to hear. Now that he accepts his humanness that much more, the more he accepts his parents and realizes they are his teachers too. "Everyone is perfect where they are. Everyone is bringing you to the light. The external world is a mirror to your internal world." He told us about a romantic couple who decided not to blame each other, but to look at themselves deeply & give each other complete freedom. "Stay with the sensation not the story when processing hurt feelings'. What seems to be landmark is not not feeling hurt but how quickly you move out of the pain. There are one million "Mukhti" who can get over a charge in 30 secs. What you resist persists & what you hate, you become. Friendships are ultimately the highest form of relationship." <br/><br/>"Nothing is more important than becoming fully enlightened but you are in charge of your own process." <br/><br/>"Dirty dog" example - the more Doug awakens, the more he laughs at himself,the more he says he sees his hypocrisey. How one of his peers told him - "you think you are a dirty dog, you ain't seen nothing yet, I have been here 20 years, and you have been here only 5. - I am the real dirty dog!" <br/><br/>Self-described "skeptic" reluctantly learns how great it is to be around Sri. Bhagwan. "He is usually silent, but when he says something, we hear something very significant." <br/><br/>No Dogma (my words) Oneness U. - complete freedom to spread Deeksha our way -"Bhagwan is basically a scientist who sees the amazing changes going on in the brain during Awakening with Deeksha and wants people to spread it in their own way, own faith. He met with a physicist who understands the Mayan Calendar and agrees with him that the time is Now and the significance of 2012. He wants us to do it our way."</strong> "We are doing everything we can as fast as possible on whatever path you are already on. Again, Deeksha is not an organization - do Deeksha your way - be creative (hmm, maybe I will use the mindbending spoon bending as a tool to spread Deeksha?) However, whatever way we do Deeksha, lets work as an overall team in order to jumpstart critical mass." <br/><br/>Belly laughing rolling around on the ground, after I fully realize the Divine is the Doer?" - Hope so!</strong></strong></h3>Forgiveness with Innocent Loving Onenessstag:architectsofanewdawn.ning.com,2010-07-25:2227378:BlogPost:1888012010-07-25T23:04:08.000ZRon Alexanderhttps://architectsofanewdawn.ning.com/profile/RonAlexander

<p><strong>Like Mother Teresa, I would never join an "anti-war" movement but will join a pro-peace movement! In this case, anti-obama vs. pro-solution!</strong></p>

<p><strong>Every problem has a spiritual solution. Anger never solved anything. Jimmy Buffet, my old sailing buddy in the late 70's put on a grand concert on the Alabama coast to tens of thousands of people, and his last ballad was an adaptation of "Clear Coast" - "I am looking forward to a clear coast - clear of greed crude.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jimmy was a very effective leader in "Save the Manatees" movement back in the 80's which was very successful!</strong></p>
<p><strong>And he is going to have a series of these concerts called One Love, One Ocean with a peace sign and a dove on the t-shirts and a gigantic roof of the pavilion where he sang.</strong></p>

I don't know the exact number, but it looked like attendance came pretty close to the 35,000 mark that organizers were expecting. That's a great thing for the people and businesses of the Gulf Coast area and, at the very least, shows one thing to local officials: People still want to head to the beach -- especially if you give them a special reason. To that end, it looks like Buffett's show may only be the first in a series of free concerts held on the Alabama coast. <a title="Gulf Coast Concert Series Article" href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g2K2TSDpgdbbQvhQjrd9vtU4LwTwD9GTJ0R80" target="_blank"><font color="#996633">According to the Associated Press</font></a>, there's a $15 million tourism grant from BP that could be used to put on more shows.

<div class="post-body entry-content"><br/><em><strong>Rick: "I knew there was something more than what I was going through on a daily basis in my life, the frustrations trying to control everything around me. I started to realize that I am not in the driver's seat here. Then something shifted. After the first few blessings, I started to feel joy for no particular reason. I started to feel full. I could look at anything and just start to enjoy it." <br/>Catherine Oxenberg (the actress): "My husband was talking; what he was saying would have normally really annoyed me. I would have reacted to it, and I would have felt that feeling in my gut, that reactive place in my body. Instead, everything that came out of his mouth felt like bubbles of joy in my body. I realized I was actually experiencing him, maybe for the first time, without reacting to him. There was nothing during the event that gave me any indication that any shift was occuring at all. Nothing. But later, I realized I had experienced a profound shift in consciousness without even realizing it."<br/>Catherine realized on the way home in the car something had shifted. For some, it may take days or even weeks or months to notice a change has gradually crept up on them.</strong></em> (p. 32-33)<br/><em><strong>The ultimate potential of the Oneness Blessing is much more that its effect on the individual. The Blessing can precipitate a shift toward a completely different state of consciousness, where the sense of "me" as a separate entity dissolves. What remains is a simple and direct realization of Oneness, unclouded by the conceptual mind. The Oneness Blessing has been able to catalyze this shift for thousands of people, both in India and in the rest of the world. This is something so profoundly simple and glorious that it defies logical description. Oneness is the heart's deepest longing, the song of the ages.</strong></em> (p. 149)</div>

Among other things, his research revealed that water physically responds <br/>to emotions. <br/><br/>Right now, most have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we <br/>are justified in that emotion, we are of greater assistance to our planet and <br/>its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr <br/>Emoto, himself, has proposed. <br/><br/>I am passing this request to people who I believe might be willing to participate in <br/>this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so <br/>overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf <br/>of Mexico. <br/><br/><em>We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily...multiple times daily....can literally shift <br/>the balance of destruction that is happening. <br/><br/>We don't have to know how......we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the <br/>Universe today. <br/><br/>Please join me in oft repeating this healing prayer of Dr. Emoto's. And feel free to copy and <br/>paste this to send it around the planet. Let's take charge, and do our own <br/>cleansing. <br/>"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water <br/>and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico <br/>and <br/>it's surroundings.

And with the coming of Ultralow Sulfur Diesel and biodiesels, these cars don't have the smell, noise and smoke of the old diesels. Another advantage of having an older one (although Yannick kept this one like new), is that I can use a higher percentage of biodiesel. The new ones only allow 5 % in this country because of lack of standardization yet). Beneteau Yachts is from France, and Yannick is being transferred back there.

<div class="UIMediaItem_Wrapper" align="center"><strong><em>What is Oneness Blessing? <br/><br/>Oneness Blessing is the Divine Grace of God, Infinite Intelligence that flows aboundingly caressing the heart and soul of the one receiving the blessings. It awakens the one to remember their own direct divine connection to their source, heals hurts, and shifts the perception of one to see God in each other and realize one's own true beauty, self acceptance and wholeness. It is an experience of Oneness with all of Creation and with the Divine Presence that becomes a tangible reality and way of living in reverence to life. <br/><br/>It is a direct transference of an intelligent sacred energy which causes the heart to flower and initiates a neurobiological change in the brain. This brings a shift in perception and the realization that the sense of a separate self is an illusion. <br/><br/>Oneness Blessing frees the senses from the constant chatter of the mind resulting in clarity of perception and spontaneous feelings of love, joy, peace, and inner silence. It dissolves negative life patterns, memories, releases traumas stored at the cellular and energetic levels, and facilitates deep emotional and physical healing. Eventually the process brings a permanent end to personal suffering and Full Awakening to the very highest states of consciousness. <br/><br/>Oneness Blessing is may be transferred by the Blessing Giver by a look, a touch, a word or the heartfelt will and intention of the one offering the blessing. This may be done from a long distance away in meditation, over the phone or the internet. Experiences vary and may be strong, subtle or even delayed until days later. One may experience a tingling sensation in the head, blissful feelings running through the whole body or perhaps nothing at all. Whatever the experience, it is certain that the process of Awakening has begun, a process custom designed for each individual which will lead gradually (or sometimes suddenly) to Full Awakening into Oneness. <br/><br/>Oneness Blessing is dogma-free and does not belong to any particular religion, philosophy or belief-system. It helps each of us to discover and fully Experience the Reality of our own unique relationship with the Divine. <br/><br/>Awaken to Oneness!</em></strong> <font color="#000000">book by Arjuna Ardagh is excellent!</font></div>
