Peace Defined

Peace is a state of harmony between individuals, groups, nations, and finally nature. A state of harmony is neither here nor there. Could minds possibly be linked? A state of harmony would be clearly beneficial to our continued survival, and passed on to succeeding generations.

Nature is thwarted by all-knowing authorities. Most scientists confine us to our brains and physical bodies. President Obama and his revolutionary leftist advisors somehow see themselves greater in understanding than the masses. They think they are going to change the world for the better. They would necessarily think their goal is providential. The type always does. If they succeed, it will be the first time. We can be certain that there will be a fight to the finish. And when its all over, the next war will be in the making.

This isn’t my thought. Every individual carries something of the spirit of other people in his or her consciousness. By linking minds across space and time, premonition reveals our oneness. I’ve had premonitions that came true. Perhaps most do. What matters is that I found my identity is linked with my archetype. I had a bigger than life calling. It changed my life for the better. In that sense—we are infinite and non-local in an otherwise hostile universe—in a hospitable to the growth of mind universe—mind a piece of a larger mind, whose parts are inextricably connected. Instead of dividing and conquering, instead of religion, the law, and science—it has yet to happen—if all were in one inseparable mold, we would have natural harmony.

Re: Peace Defined

Even the most advanced of our thinkers are sidetracked by political hogwash. We think like our earthbound programmers want us to think, as though consciousness was limited to what goes on here on our planet. As 14-year-old Lilly says in the Secret Life of Bees, ”The body knows things …before the mind catches up to them.”

What does a fish know about our world? Skepticism turns minds into concrete.
I’ve reported here at Gaia a number of inexplicable events in my life, without anyone questioning. We don’t discuss such things. It doesn’t matter that “God” didn’t guide me, or that I hold no respect for “the law,” or that I don’t believe my mind is in my brain.

I didn’t learn what life was about and then changed my life. I learned after the fact. What directed me to my good life? I don’t believe the doctrines and dogmas of religion. In my view, they are all manmade. I don’t believe in the doctrines and dogmas man’s law gives us. I don’t believe that my mind is in my brain, that I’m all physical. That idea is manmade. If some advanced being from elsewhere were to visit Earth, he would marvel over how Earthings think. With our leads, little wonder that we don’t yet know that we were created to live together in harmony.

Re: Peace Defined

We don't question -we accept -we understand.
What are we at Gaia , but like-minded souls ~
each with our own life-stories that have bought us on a path
to meet here.
Where we share and care - and hope to assist each other and the
World, in what-ever ways we can ~

In peace, love and light,

Re: Peace Defined

Political manipulating during times of crises should be of great concern to Gaia. Why isn't it?  Why do you say we're like-minded? Who is “we?” America’s big concerns, politically driven, are social justice, the environment, and health care—all in a state of crises. The President of the United States has as one of his chief advisors Van Jones, an avowed communist revolutionary ranting for social justice and the environment, and connecting the two. Why this guy? Obama says Jones’ government role is creating “green jobs”—to save the environment from the manmade global warming disaster. Obama conveniently leaves that part of explanation out of his answer. Many of us disagree with that explanation.

There is growing division in the United States over all the stuff Obama leaves out of his explanations. He is giving us half answers, answers that appeal to his constituencies. Obama says nothing about those who, in an effort to intimidate people who think like I think, accuse us of being nuts, against the downtrodden, fear mongers, racists, greedy capitalists, uncaring and self-serving. It's a well organized movement, the Apollo Alliance, ACORN, Americore, labor unions, organizations Obama is giving billions of taxpayer dollars to.   I say to these Obama supporting organizations, take a hike.  You don't intimidate me.

Obama is lauded by the left for his charm.  I say social justice and global warming is senseless, an out-of-control prairie fire aimed at making America a socialistic dictatorship.  Obama promised change if elected. I don't think the American people want the change he is fast putting into effect. No question about it, the crises situation being created by government is a control effort. Anything but charming to me, I see Obama is a slick talking con artist bent on taking away our freedom.  Wise up, America!

Science knows that there have been drastic and sudden changes in climates in different parts of the world. The last ice age came to an end with global warming. There are several different theories for the warming trend. All agree that the melting ice added a lot of fresh water to the North Atlantic Ocean. The heavier salt water, warmed by the Gulf Stream, sank to the bottom. The cold fresh water at the surface caused a change in the temperature in the Northeastern American continent. It became very cold and dry. Large grazing animals perished forever. The more adaptable humans in the area moved to the west and survived.

Adaptability is our human secret for survival. America’s government, bent on control—deliberately creating crises—the American people becoming less and less adaptable, no, dear, Gaia does not have the right answer. We are not like-minded. If you want everyone in Gaia like-minded, throw me out of this discussion group. It will not be the first time. If you want to help create a peaceful world, my answer—look within—is the right answer. We humans were created to cope. We don’t need government direction.  We need to be in charge of our individual lives.

Re: Peace Defined

If Gaia knew my background, maybe Gaia would have a different opinion on individual independence. I’ve reported that I cut out of the herd and went on my own in 1975. I’ve reported how I made the all-powerful IRS eat its words. I have not reported the events in West Palm Beach, Florida during the 18 years I lived in what I consider the crime capital of the United States. They call it “revolving door justice.” Criminals are back on the street within 24 hours of their arrests. What kind of people in positions of power would leave the citizenry subject to becoming victims of crime? I had the privilege of tweaking their noses.

I expressed myself in no uncertain terms before the West Palm Beach City Commission. The mayor had the microphone turned off and asked the policeman there to throw me out. The policemen refused to. I spoke about the corruption in city government. At the next election, a mayor I supported was elected. She was with a law firm that dealt with city matters. I helped her win by giving her facts on violations of the city zoning code. After the election, I won a zoning fight by circulating a petition in my neighborhood.

I was appointed to a citizen committee on airport noise. I represented the only neighborhood that was affected by new take-off and landing rules. The other members advised me to keep my mouth shut. They censored me for calling the local FAA official a liar to his face at a meeting. The county commissioner who appointed my asked me to resign, which I did. But the rules were changed back to the original rules.

I didn’t like the county property appraiser’s value for tax purposes she placed on my home. I went to the county clerk’s office and got a copy of Donald Trump’s lawsuit contesting the value placed on his palatial Palm Beach home, copied it, and filed my own lawsuit. An election ended with the property appraiser’s defeat. A lot of people didn't like her property appraisals. The new property appraiser asked me what it would take to settle my lawsuit. I told him half of the value placed. He said: “No problem.” It was done.

Am I a fear monger, a racist, a greedy capitalist, uncaring and self-serving? I’d like to remind you people that if you don’t demand your rights, you have nobody to blame but yourself for your loss of freedom.

Re: Peace Defined

“We don’t question—we accept—we understand.” What do we understand? Really, are we “but like-minded souls?” Gee, what a lovely thought!

If I believed in the Yum Yum Tree, where we simply pick our goodies, I’d accept without question. If I thought only pleasing thoughts and let the good times roll—who cares about the future—let the future take care of itself, I’d be the last to complain. I’ve been accused of being a rock in the stream. Alas, I’m government entitled to receive other people’s sweat. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t ask for this. I accept it because when you are in Rome you do as the Romans do (not to mention that Rome fell).

I believe that if people insist on depending on government for their keep, they should accept what they get without question. Yes, I think. I don’t live by my emotions. In that vein of thought, we, the American people, voted into the office of president a former community organizer in South Chicago, a black community, and without doubt one of the most politically corrupt communities in the United States. You probably didn’t know that President Obama was schooled in politics in South Chicago. The news media didn’t report that. It was too busy reporting how improperly vetted Sara Palin, Obama’s opponent’s pick for Vice President was.

We are now told by the media that Obama won the election. Those who did not vote for him lost. They should keep their mouths shut. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi calls the voices of protest “Swastika bearing Nazis.” America’s free press doesn’t believe in free speech. President Obama has just appointed a “Diversity Czar,” we call him, to the FCC, the agency that issues licenses to broadcasters. The media has not reported this. What does a diversity czar do? If Mark Lloyd, an African-American communist revolutionary, gets his way, he will tax private broadcasters who oppose Obama out of existence and use the money to finance public broadcasting, which he will direct, making sure that the losers have no voice at all. Obama, a South Chicago community organizer, has no place on his agenda for freedom of speech, the First Amendment to the Constitution. America’s free press apparently has no problem with this. It has not reported who we have now as our “Diversity Czar. Mark Lloyd will only put the opposition off the air waves.

A big Obama supporter, Louis Farrakhan, America’s National Representative of the Elijah Muhammad; that is, his black representative, says President Obama is the Messiah of Black Muslims. Do tell! God is great, God is good, ask no questions if you know what’s good for you.

Do we not agree that if we think government should be responsible for our keep then we should not question President Obama’s new Civilian National Security Force? Hey! He publically announced that he wants it to be as large and well funded as the military. I heard him say it with my own ears. But who will these people be and why the need, my friends? Ah! This is a no no. Ask no question, or you will be dealt with harshly by Obama’s Civilian National Security Force. You can count on the media saying nothing if you disappear and are never seen again.

Actually, we should not question President Obama’s newly appointed “green jobs czar,” my friends, if we know what’s good for us. Van Jones is the head honcho of the Apollo Alliance, an organization of communist revolutionaries and anti-capitalists, including the African-American Black Panthers. Van Jones is a self-proclaimed African-American communist revolutionary ranting for social justice. The Black Panthers used intimidation during Obama’s election. ACORN, an Obama supporter during the election, used intimidation. Community organizer Obama was legal advisor for ACORN. ACORN is breaking the laws of fourteen states and under indictment by the same. By the way, President Obama, in answer to protests, said that if we want to question his objectives we should question his advisors, and named some of his czars, none of the above named. When questioned on his omission, Obama advised us that the above named are not really czars. Who cares what he calls them? Obama does not reject their communist revolutionary connections. Why does he want communist revolutionaries and anti-capitalists advising him? Birds of a feather flock together.

Obama told us he planned to remake America. He’s as good as his word. Didn’t those who voted for Obama listen to what he said? He told us how it was going to be. With his popularity on the wane (all the fault of the Bush Administration's spending policy, according to the media) neither left nor right knowing where he is, right now Obama is on vacation with his family.

When Obama returns to the top burner issues now bankrupting America—social justice, the environment, and health care—we can wonder, breathlessly, what he does next. No doubt he will return with the right answers, after the powers that be decide what to do.

The fact of the matter is this: If we are like-minded souls, we don’t ask questions, right? If we believe government has any role whatever as our keeper, then it should be peace at any price, right?

Well, I don’t buy it. I look within for my answers. Obama is bankrupting America spiritually, morally, and financially. Obama has proved that he is a glib tongued communist opportunist. He will say or do anything it takes. His answer for free America is socialist dictatorship.

No, we are not all alike. I believe that the moment you allow government any role whatever in your private lives, you are asking for anarchy and tyranny. No, not by a long shot, my fiends, it is either peace at any price or fight for your life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The latter is the only way to peace. After you’ve discovered what is, you, personally, have to have the guts to stand up and be counted. I wish it were not so, but it is. There have always been those who feel insecure, and those opportunists looking for an opportunity to run the world. If you give them half a chance, there always will be the Obama type and support to control your life.
