History And Purpose Of Education In The United States

Education of the Minorities By the late 19th century educational debates were still raging on “who was to be educated?” and “how this education was to be carried out?’ Such philosophers as John Dewey and (closer to us) Jean Piaget understood that “all knowledge has a social origin, and the interest of the child are the primary source of learning” (Spring, 1989). The same author said that after the Civil War black leaders, particularly W.E.Dubois and Booker T. Washington debated not the importance of schooling but the kind of education for the Negroes. Mr. Washington, considered by many as a traitor, would acquiesce with the 1895 Plessy v Ferguson decision that said under segregation schools can be separate and remain equal. According to Perkinson (1991), Washington addressed publicly in 1895:

“…The Negro did not want social equality,

that he did not need social equality with the whites.

Nor did he want or need political or civil equality…

but cooperation with their white friends.

Negro education should be devoted

to the practical education of earning a living…”

Conversely, Dubois vehemently rejected that position and argued for equal rights for the colored people. During that epoch, diverse segments of society had been restless protecting their interests after the inaction of Plessy v Fugerson. The US Supreme Court opined in many cases in favor of minorities. Among those cases, worth noting are Pierce v Society of Sisters (1922, unconstitutionality of establishing schools only) and Virginia State Board of Education v Barnette (1940, unconstitutionality of forcing Jehovah witnesses to salute the flag). None of them had delivered a more devastating blow to the then racist establishment than Brown v Board of Education of Topeka (1954).

The Brown decision invigorated the positions of minority leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King who had long said that the reality of equality will require extensive adjustments in the way of life of the white majority, an adjustment that many are unwilling to make. (Smith & Chunn,1989). Arguing that “segregated education is inherently unequal”, the young and flamboyant lawyer Thurgood Marshall (later US Supreme Court Justice), helped Brown open the valve to a flurry of other similar legislations in order to right the educational wrongs done to minorities. In fact, Perkinson (1991) noted that black parents realized that their children were failing in schools not because they were culturally deprived (as racist views had purported) but because schools were incompetent to teach black students who, indeed, had a culture, a different culture.

I believe that, to many folks, it was not a matter of how to educate our culturally different children, but a deliberate case of not willing to do so. In fact, Shor and Freire (1987), “It is not education which shapes society, but on the contrary, it is society who shapes education according to the interests of those in power. In contrast, Perkinson (1991) responded, “By 1965, the schools had polarized American society into self-satisfied whites and victimized blacks, into indifferent suburbanites and despondent city dwellers, and creating winners and losers. These two views collided on the root cause of the plight of the blacks. But both remained ferocious advocates of the rights of the downtrodden, including the children of the immigrants.

Fixed Asset Management

Managing fixed assets can prove to be a nightmare, especially when one has to indulge in time-consuming depreciation calculation while following complicated IRS regulations and procedures. The process becomes all the more complicated if the person doesn’t even have a proper listing or valuation of the assets that they own.

The problem is not only of assessing the value of these assets. If they are not properly classified, they may not be utilized productively. Given this scenario, fixed asset management program offers the perfect solution to work towards optimum returns.

The first step in this program involves the classification of the company’s fixed assets. These can include physical assets such as office furniture and fixtures, infrastructure including the plant and expensive machinery and equipment. In research companies, the laboratory will also be classified as a fixed asset.

A fixed asset can loosely be defined as any asset that can be used again and again in the process of production and services. Fixed assets can also include returnables such as containers and pallets. Therefore, the fixed asset program also takes these into consideration while classifying inventory.

There are many advantages associated with a fixed asset management program. First of all, it helps cut down on tax assessment. This is because someone can cut down on unnecessary capital expenditures and also calculate the depreciative value of their assets. This in turn ensures that they obtain correct valuation for insurance purposes. Otherwise, if they don’t take into consideration the correct depreciation value, they may end up paying higher premiums for them.

Another advantage that follows their evaluation is that people reduce their inventory time. This means that they can reinstate assets that they had written off. They may also ‘find’ assets which they previously thought were lost.

To implement a fixed asset management program, three basic assets are required. These include a host system with a PDCD(portable data collection device) software to maintain the master record and a bar code scanner that reads the identifying fixed asset ID tag.

How To Build Confidence In Your Child

I believe that the most important thing a parent can give a child is confidence and self-esteem. All the degrees and certificates are useless if a child lacks self-confidence. With self-esteem, a child will be able to try new things and venture out on his own. He will not be easily influenced by others because he knows what he is doing is right.

On the other hand, a child who lacks self-esteem will be constantly seeking for approval by his parents and peers before he tries anything new. There is fear within him that he may not be accepted by others around him.

Here are some tips to build self confidence in the child:

- Encourage the child to do things on his own. It does not matter even if he does it wrongly(as long as he is in a safe environment). The most important thing is to let him try and he will definitely gain confidence after gaining some success. He will gain confidence and want to try out more and do more. He becomes aware that he can do more if he tries and my even make some mistakes.

- Focus on his strengths and not his weakness. It is understandable that as parents that we want the best for our children. However, we have to be aware that every child is special and different. Though Mathematics is very important, the child may not like it at all. Instead of forcing him to sit down and listen, try to incorporate Maths with something that he likes e.g. music. This will lower his resistance towards learning Maths and he may think of better ideas to learn maths with music too. You never know how creative they can be.

-Praise your child when he does something well. Children are constantly looking for approval. Parents are usually critical because it is easier to point out mistakes. Just be aware and remember that children (just like anybody else) prefer to listen to positive things.

-Differentiate the child from his behaviour. If parents are unhappy with the child’s behaviour, tell the child. We need to reinforce that we still love the child but not the behaviour. The child needs to know that parents still love them after being punished. Children do not mind being being punished because they did something wrongly but they need to know that their parents still love them. Tell your kids that you love them and do not assume they know. Tell them that you love them even when you punish them.

-Let him learn a new skill when he is ready. These include learning to use the scissors, needle up to learning multiplication tables. Different skills builds the childs confidence in different areas of his life. We need to build up his social skills on how to make friends, motor skills as in how to use the scissors, fork and knife. Others include literacy skills and numeracy skill. Each has to be taken one step at a time. This includes letting him try new things.

-Create chances for them to speak up in front of the family. This can help in public speaking and their confidence in public in general. Start by doing this at home. Once they can overcome the fear of speaking in front of the family, you can extend to your friends and relatives. Start somewhere. You could even let them start by talking to another sibling or in the toilet. Encourage them to speak up and you can learn about what they are thinking about as well.

Try out these tips first!

Choosing the Right Tractor Tire Chains

Tractor tire chains come in many of the same models, styles, and designs as other tire chains. Depending on the size and brand of the tractor and tractor wheel, a variety of tire chains can be found.

Like most other types of tire chains, there are many different options available in tractor tire chains. The most popular choice, and the most widely recommended, is two-link spacing with an optional V-Bar. Two link spacing means that there is a cross chain every second side chain link. Basically, it has twice as many cross chains as the four-link spacing, which only has a cross chain every fourth side chain link. The extra chains provide for a more steady, smooth ride and more steering control. The optional V-Bar chains are extremely helpful on ice, hills, and other hard-packed conditions. While V-Bar chains are available in both two- and four-link spacing, they should not be used on pavement since they can damage the surface of the road.

Kubota Tractor tire chains are available in the basic two- and four-link chains. Kubota recommends using tire chains and wheel weights in icy conditions. Even when using tire chains, drivers should still drive at a speed slow enough to maintain complete control of the tractor at all times.

For farm tractors, dealers recommend duo-group cross tire chains. These chains are not connected in the middle, so the pattern does not fall between the tread bars. Duo-group cross chains are recommended for field work, deep tread, off road use, and hilly conditions, making them the perfect choice for farm tractor tire chains.

Your Natural State

All self concern is a symptom of the disease of “not being” which disappears as soon as you realize who you are – which is your natural state.

Giving it a grand title like “enlightenment” only shows how insane we are.

It is your natural state.

Unperceived – it causes perception, unfelt – it causes feeling, unthinkable – it causes thought, beyond being and “not being” – it gives rise to being. It is the immovable background of all motion – it is the heart in motion.

Once you are here realizing who you are – right here, right now, seeing that this one that is looking through your very eyes is who you are – you are at home everywhere.

It is you. It is where you are happy without cause. The moment you are being who you are you are freed from all agendas, from all the cramps of attempting to be what you are not.

The realization of who you are is a momentary thing until such time that who you think you are completely dies to this one that you are whereby you are immersed so fully, never to “not know” who you are ever again.

It is a point of no return. Full stop.

Until such time that such an “event” should transpire – no one knows when such a dissolution should “happen”; it comes upon you like a thief in the night – you have within your power to be free of who you think you are and to “see and be” who you already are.

There is nothing more that you can do than to be aligned energetically to your self, the heart. This “motion of seeing” that is flowing through your eyes right now. Coming to rest as this very “aliveness,” since it is who you already are.

Being free of who you think you are and its “endless” machinations. Being who you already are and allowing the mindbody to unravel from its nonsense.

Hence it is a momentary motion.

Either being who you are in any given moment or “not being” who you are and believing yourself to be who you think you are which creates more unravelling for the mindbody to go through.

Who you are is already true of you and you can “see and be” it.

Truth New Year 2007 Message

To all of us, we wish a wonder-filled 2007. May we all be there inOneness at the Last Supper of the Night we are traveling together asThe One, and enjoy the delights of its manifold tastes before Lightbreaks open and wide in the unfolding of the Morning of our REALexistence as the IS.

Greetings to all, and many blessings. Thecusp of W-In-t(o) (h)er has infolded the Sun of our Existence in itsfreezing grip again, and during the long nights of our new winter, weneed to pause and take account and hold of our inner strengths,weaknesses, and stores of reserves, in trying to bridge our Fall asMankind to our possible Spring back into a blazing and radiating SummerSun, revived and born again from our inner hearts.

I wentyesterday into a deep meditation within the One Light, and received amessage from the Oneness, which I will share with you below.

Thisyear’s New Year’s celebrations were luring me as I watched them takingmillions across the globe into a spirit of hope, wishes, and happinessspreading its magnificence in a contagion of smiling faces. For oneday, no dark events, disasters, or lack of inner spirit darkened themagnificent faces of Humanity. I watched, partook in the smilingenergy, and remembered.

I remembered when only 6 years ago on theEve of the Millennium, all nations on the face of Earth, from themightiest countries to the tiniest of islands, went into common andheart-felt celebrations of the great adventure of being part of themulti-faceted Kaleidoscope which we project as Man-kind when we feelthe Great Spirit of Oneness which is at the very core of our beings.

Asmidnight January 1, 2000, spread its gentle presence across the world,broadcasts were following the magnificent celebrations offered by eachand every nation as a gift to its brethrens in the adventure which Lifeis.

What a moment frozen into the eternity of The One this was!Veils of doubts, old programs and associated passions, had been broughtdown by Oneness, in order for us to experience in advance what ourfuture IS to be when we all know ourselves as One and united within theflagship of joy of having reunited a divided family originating fromthe same Father and Mother as One.

And very shortly after that,darkness attacked again, when we least expected it. Surreptitiously atfirst; ensnaring us all into old beliefs of separateness. And then moreviolently so, causing us to lock ourselves again into a Dark Age’smentality. We had started the Exodus from slavery of old oppressivebeliefs and grasped Light, but had lost our understanding that allmovement into a direction of Oneness causes an automaticcounter-movement reacting to it, for such are the laws by which ourinner and outer reflected Nature were created in the wheel of Life.

Atfirst we were all stunned; shocked back into old reflexes.Nationalisms, old beliefs in the One Energy Source being different andopposing gods called by different names, and all the aspects whichpromote separateness and differentiation amongst us were the firstinstinctive refuge for so many. Armies were rumbling the trumpets ofwar everywhere. The earth was shaking again with their robot-like heavysteps. The darkness of fear was greeted with vengeful battle cries. Andthe explosion happened again.

At first, its resolution was toutedas obvious. The many would conquer by the sheer force of multitudes andaccumulated power that this illusion gives us the One’s lesserfortunate ones in number or capacity. All opposing sides were takingcount of their quantity of accumulated consciousness. The many wouldconquer the One, was the battle cry!

The One, through so manyways again, was trying to first forewarn the many that they were erringagain on the path of separation and belief in the conquest by the manyof the lesser and of the Idea of One. Little credence was given to it.Mankind blindly again walked into an ever repeating trap. Because ofthe nature of its misconceptions, much of what was needed and wasstarting to be healed bled again, and the wounds became deeper. Therift between man and man was becoming ever increasingly, and in anexponential way, greater. And so was the gap between man and his MotherNature.

Many at first saw the ploy and danger, but as more andmore of man attacked its Self, many got tired of the pain of destroyedhopes and turned a blind eye to the pillaging and raping that thespoils of the conqueror were inflicting upon the natural world, andtheir human brethrens.

Peace, if it were to be achieved, wouldagain come from the final exhaustion of the protagonists, until thenext round. Or so it was perceived.

Whole generations werebecoming at risk. This was unprecedented in human history. There was aninner revelation and undertaking that not only a tribe, country,culture, religion, or color were threatened but that future generationsgetting evermore closer to our own, would be at risk of not survivingor be decimated. The idea of the end of all of mankind became part ofthe gestalt conscious awareness of man, first expressed almostrejoicingly so by some distorted minds corrupted within the grips offalse degenerations of old spiritual belief systems, and then within amuch grimmer reality when wave after wave of scientists realized thatwe were really on the brink of annihilation or impending greatdisasters of a magnitude which defies existence. The force withinmankind which for eons cherishes such events, was telling us “I toldyou so!” “It has been already written.” “It is in a book.” “Holy Fate!”“Karma!” “You deserve it!” “The future is already inscribed and static,not a game of probabilities which you can change!” “You have noindividual power, no real input!” “Watch the horror show I haveprepared for the sinners or the un-this and un-that!” “You and yourswill be saved and elevated in this glorious fight, so why care?”

Manstarted believing that the future was only a reality show that he wouldwatch on a screen, and not experience in his own flesh-and-blood. TheTrickster had done well Its job, for so It is programmed to do. Thedice were thrown. We were slowly sinking into un-consciousness. Ourinner Light was extinguishing itself. Most chose the way of innerdenial within their own created world, not realizing that All IS Oneand interconnected. Nothing can escape that One and Only Reality, asthe “Nothing” of SepAraTedNess threw us into a false and powerful senseof separation. The reality was that when one Light was plunging intounconsciousness, it was affecting all the lights of humanity: for TheOne was sinking with it.

Many parts of Humanity were alreadysuffering, and in great pain. Others were falling into non-beingthrough numbing their senses of awareness. Chemically or naturallyproduced and pushed drugs and alcohol were helping the process ofdimming the Inner Light of awareness.

Problems were piling up.The balance of Mankind and Nature was swaying dangerously close to aperceived precipice. So why not rejoice and enjoy the day, one day at atime, and try to forget what you cannot control or see?

The One was trying to speak to our inner heart, for that is where its Kingdom lies. Most were deaf to its Small Inner Voice.

Thechildren of our future Dream were becoming aware that theirs was thegeneration which would most probably have to bear the brunt of theMadness of their parents. They were remaining much more aware thantheir heavily adulterated parents, as we were slowly killing theirfuture. The pain was too great to bear for many, so that theyinstinctively sought refuge in the same immediate solution of immediatepleasures and gratification, sensing as instinctive parts of MotherNature, the necessity to enjoy life when they still could. Ourspiritual and political leaders were inept and uninspiring, mostlyignorant of Oneness and misguided. We were slowly losing faith in thebelief of a possible future.

Night was slowly engulfing Creation, and night-mares were everywhere, either as potentials or already felt realities.

Haveyou ever heard the story? Do you really want to continue and experienceits unfolding? Do you want to experience the end as a REAL end?

Youhave read books and volumes about it. You have watched TV shows andmovies about all the possible ending destructive paths. You werealready born into it and programmed, religiously so – as small innocentchildren – into its beliefs.

Do you want to experience yourdarkest nightmares? In your flesh, with the pain which your senses giveyou? Have you lost your senses? Have you gone mad?

Are we all going mad?

Has A-DAM as the One Higher Consciousness of ALL of mankind fallen into an inverted tree, as A-MAD-Man?

Asyou are all watching the lives of Hollywood stars as the little lightsof your reality TV-like life, please stop and ponder if the real showof LIFE-as-we-know-it is unfolding its tentacles without you having asay in it, while you are stuck watching cartoon-like characters. Forthat is what is happening, and ONLY because YOU AGREED to become asleepat the wheel, or drunk on reality alteration stories, and are invitinga crash. You hold the ultimate power, which is to wake up to One and toOneness Itself.

Are you going to fight the wars of the No-thingabout nothing? How long are you going to watch the political andspiritual pawns of Nothing and their dramas about NO-Thing which onlyserve separation and may engulf us into the No-Thing, if we allow it,by not waking up and shaking it loose?

You are the only and realStars of your show. Please look at yourselves. Care about yourselves,for you inner core Selves know themselves as One.

Do you rememberthe eve of the New Millennium? How long ago was it? Can’t we all bringthat feeling amongst ourselves back and let go of all our inner demons,once and for all? Of course we can, and we will!

Starting right now.

Youmake the choice. That is your free-will. I know my decision, andfrankly I also know yours, for we all originate from the same One Seed,and, deep in your self, you long for that moment of recognition of yourLight, as you then start the inner great fire of Real Passion for Lifeand not Passion for Death, and express it as total Love – a Love whichwill burn all barriers and frontiers; a Love which we are definitelygoing to experience soon as One Creation as we all awake.

Enough of repeating His-Story! Time to start Our-Story, and enjoy it to its fullest and brightest potential.

Timeto bring about our co-creative potential which is immense and infinite,and reboot the old programs from the Nothingfighting-and-dying-about-nothing. Eat from the Tree of Life and notfrom the Tree of Death. So say I, and in that act you shall not dieanymore.

Unless you are so obsessed with the INTIMATE knowledgeof the Tree of Good and Evil that you do not realize that this veryobsession which you have with destroying and killing what YOU perceiveas Evil is the very root which spreads Death and Destruction amongstyour interconnected Selves.

You can do it. It is your right as part of One.

Don’t let your old beliefs blind you. Don’t let old programs assail you.

You are revisiting the Old Genesis of your Life backwards, back to its One-And-Only Source.

No-THINGcan exists outside of One, the rest is only reality TV which you makeyour reality as you watch its empty and dangerous show, throwing youinto a sleep-like state.

The force of the Nothing fighting aboutnothing is only there because YOU give it force and attention. It isNOTHING, as long as you make it what it is as the ultimate illusion inthe One Show of the One: Creation. It has no power and dies, as youpull away from its intoxicating drink. Time to sober up!

Pleasestop this tube of emptiness which is ruling your life, or, at the veryleast, start by changing the channel and watch loving shows in order toremember that you are that Love, you are that laughter, you are thatLife, you are that Romance, and then finally shut the old stories off,and Create your OWN.

Happy Creation 2007!

Before I sharethe message I want to below, let me state that starting in the next 10days and going on henceforth, for the ones who are really ready tochallenge and absorb material which may allow them to de-programthemselves once-and-for-All from old forms of thoughts proven again andagain to be self-destructive, I will share some knowledge which is partof the start of my attempt to lighten up the load and baggage we carry,and make us at the very least question our beliefs about Truth. TheTruth is that it is the questions which motivate us to change. TheAnswer to All is in the Question! Do not stop questioning for that iswhat will propel you to new vistas, new frontiers breaking infernalcycles of painful revisiting of His-story.

Nevertheless, you havefree-will. Free-will to stay static, or to enter a dynamic of realchange. Nevertheless, if you decide to stay static within your beliefsystems, I beg you for One’s sake to pause and truly state that youfeel that the path you are within now will ensure your present and yourprobable future as a reality which you really want to EXPERIENCE,intimately so and with full awareness. And if it is so, then you wouldhave made a Real Creative act in choosing that probable future andmaking it you reality.

This is why only individuals who want tobe exposed to the material, which I will start to reveal, and maketheir own inner direct judgment about it and integrate it in their ownCreative ways within their existence, as Conscious Beings, will beexposed to it. For the Real World is a world of Ideas. That is all theOne Mind can Be. That is why only the ones who desire to question ideaswill be given a link to the restricted (for now) area of our website,so they can climb back the Tree of their deep Inner awareness.

Andit should be so, for you must understand that just by being exposed toan idea for even a moment will make you change and evolve as you giveit emotions and energy. Remember New Year 2000 and what you felt then!

This is a message from the Oneness, received on December 31, 2006, which I want to share with you now.

Thisis a Holy year. In this year much of what mankind considers to beReality will be decided. There has been a big gap between reality andits perception.

Much of what is happening below the feet of man,above his head, and within him, has gone unnoticed, to the real dismayof The One who has been trying to send warnings through many directchannels and through a multitude of events. Even though the One knowsHimself to Be One, that notion is so far remote from His Creatures thatthe mere mentioning of it often brings great discomfort to them.

Inthe next period of Creation, a time limit needs to be set to theperception of non-interference by the Godliness in the affairs ofmankind. When that moment is reached, the dice would have been thrown.

This is the beginning to the end of His-Story, and the beginning of Your-Story.

Muchof what you believe in and have been taught as being real, has been butcreated by the Godliness in advance, in order for you to have a supportin which you will be able to express your Creative potential.

Time, as we know it, is about to take on a different dimension which many of you shall experience soon.

Truth is where you will all be.

Inthis process of Creative endeavor, The Godliness shall be experiencingit with you as you, for you, so that you can all potentially reach theBeginning of Time.

Great responsibilities lie upon each of yourshoulders, each and every one of you, and you need to become soonsentient and aware of what your real purpose is as a Creation, which isto Create and improve upon the original program that The Godliness hasprepared for you as Himself to experience, and hopefully enjoy, as Hetravels within each and every one of you the path of His Creativeprocesses in the infinite lattice of possibilities that He has Createdin advance, so that He experiences His Being in the many.

The Oneis asking the many to slowly, patiently, pay attention to much of theguidance that He will tend to project from within their inner selves.

Hewishes often that the unfolding of events be smoother. Nevertheless, Hehas allowed Himself to be restricted by His original plan and programas a challenge to Him, as the many facets operating within His giganticMind.

There is still a small window of opportunity to soften theblow of the awakening process, and it is The Godliness’s dream and wishthat mankind shall invite within its heart the attention it needs nowin order to show Oneness of purpose and existence to all and resist thetemptation to slowly extinguish its inner Light as challenging events,which will call upon the inner resources of the many, will try to starthappening to project Oneness within the One Heart of ALL.

Move Through the Fear of Having a Spiritual Experience

Lately, I’ve found myself looking more carefully at my life — what I want it to look like and what I have to do to create that reality. I have moved closer to many of my goals, but there are a few that involve, as author Thomas Moore would say, “care of the soul” that I have not taken steps toward creating.

Although I often complain about not having enough time to meditate, read spiritual books, journal, or pray, lack of time really is not what has stopped me from achieving my spiritual goals. I simply have not committed my time — and my energy — to my spiritual pursuits in the same manner I have committed time and energy to other goals. I have to admit that I get a lot of things accomplished every day, just not those things related to my spiritual practice. So, I recently asked myself, “Why don’t I put time and energy into the activities that are most important to me, the goals that will help me not only lead a more spiritual life but also help me feel my connection to God?” The answer I gave was simple: “Fear.”

I have always considered fear the primary factor that stops us from moving forward on the spiritual path. We say we want to care for our souls, to nurture our spirits, to connect with our inner being and with the Divine Essence that creates all things. Yet, we constantly find roadblocks and obstacles in our way – or, rather, we place them there. Why? Because we are afraid to care for our souls, nurture our spirits, connect with our inner being and with God.

Each person possesses a personal fear all their own. Speaking for myself, I’m afraid that if I really achieve my spiritual goals I will be changed, and that those changes will cause other changes within myself and within my life that I don’t desire or won’t like. I might not want to do anything but sit among the Redwoods surrounding my house and meditate. I might neglect my children, my husband, my work, and, in the process, I might lose them all. In addition, I might change in such a way that I no longer fit in with so-called “normal” people. While I always have felt a bit like the “fringe dwellers” described by author Stuart Wilde, I would hate to feel all the more “different.” I would not like to discover that other people regarded me as so different they no longer wanted to associate with me.

I also am afraid I won’t be able to handle the experience of Divine connection. Most people who have delved into the study of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, have heard or read the Talmudic story of the four who went into the Garden — a space or realm where they directly experienced God. According to the Talmudic sages, four went into the dwelling place of God, thereby entering into the glory of God’s heavenly kingdom. One was so overcome by the experience that he died, another went mad, and the third became an apostate. Only one, Rabbi Akiba was able to look upon God’s holy place, delve into the meaning of God’s holy words, and experience direct connection with God and survive unscathed. As the story goes, the reason for Akiba’s ability to do so lay in his great wisdom and scholarship. The moral of the story is clear: Only a great scholar can experience God and continue living life as before.

Living Life According to Conditioning

Who you are is, now (this of course is obvious that your areness is arising now).

You cannot hide from this fact. In fact, it is the only fact that you have of yourself. You do not know anything else. You simply are.

It is here before your belief system runs wild over the top of it. Your imagination and your belief are one and the same. They both have you not seeing things as they are and they both have you attempting to redefine the motion of life into a movement of your own creation – the results being ones of pain and suffering, for it could not be otherwise.

If you were to investigate into what is true of you you will find that you live a life according to your conditionings, your upbringing, what you were taught by others – who were also taught by others in a similar manner.

In other words, the whole basis of your life is a “hand-me-down.” You are doing what you are doing because you were told to. You never stopped to see whether what was taught to you was true or not.

The only fact you have of yourself is that you are. All the rest is chewing gum, sellotape, number-8-wire and blue-tack. You do not get the time to investigate because you are too busy with trying to clothe, feed and shelter who you think you are and your family.

Even if you did have “free time” you would not know what to do with yourself. There is no shortage of distraction to keep you occupied, to keep you from investigating just who it is that you truly are. No matter what you manage to “attain” for yourself it finally turns to custard.

No matter how many times you “fall in love” you manage to “fall out of love” again. None of your experiences can hold you in elation for very long. The elation always wears off leaving you with the unfulfillment that you have forever attempted to avoid feeling.

You are not who you think you are and who you have been taught to be. Who you are is the very “aliveness” that you can never escape from because it is who you are – right now. It is flowing through your eyes right now.

The End of Time and The Golden Bridge to Infinity

My dear brothers and sisters, a stupendous event has started since April 2004, where the old Matrix which had been our Thought and Reality construct since eons is being slowly dismantled. Many of its old rigid structures and informational grids are in the process of crumbling down and are moving within very fluid and bendable systems. Its central core is being carefully transmuted and cleansed. This is of course not yet necessarily apparent to most, but it is a reality that all of you will experience in an accelerated fashion during your lifetime and the future of this and many more Creations.

The old constructs are still being witnessed but have been greatly weakened at their core of any durable strength.

The old Matrix has become but a shadow of Its former self, with its energy leaking and highly depleted. A new transmuted world is in the making for the ones that will resonate to its vibrations and purpose.

We are entering a phase of Universally Remote Influencing Life (reality) by thought alone in up-to-now unimaginable ways.

Free-will has finally been granted to all the children of the IS for good or for bad. The choice is ours. We are out of bondage, but have yet to adjust and fully comprehend. The restrictive cause-and-effect temporal and distal laws of the old Matrix are being removed. We can influence reality outside of the rigid construct of time and space as far as we can possibly imagine. You are all free, by a decision of the One, but with this freedom comes great responsibilities both on an individual and a group level.

And I need to explain:

Our external reality is by now a highly faithful mirror of our thoughts/being. This is why our world and our leaders are but accurate reflections of whom we have become as a group consciousness.

We need to rejoin the feeling and notion of all being brothers and sisters again: All Children of the One – all precious and Holy Divine Beings. We need to search and unite around the points of commonality which we all carry, and to not ever focus again on what differentiates us. We need to only listen to messages and voices that glorify the unity of all, mankind, nature and Source alike, and should shun voices and messages that emphasize differentiation, separation, and elitism of any sort. We need to become One family again: The Human Family united within and without in the spirit of the Oneness of the One. We need to open our Heart to Infinite Un-conditional Love: The Glue of the Universal Creator.

In the next upcoming months and years everyone will be able to transmute energy within and without by thought alone. Each one will be able to transcend from Bad/Inner darkness to Good/Inner Light, engage in the reverse process, or remain static. Love will be the key to this alchemical operation of transmuting mercurial base tendencies and poisonous thought/behavior processes into Glorious precious and Divine Golden Inner Light. No one is to be judged by his/her prior actions. Everyone is given the opportunity now to be the sole judge and powerful co-creator of his/her own reality as to where he/she wants to operate in the next upcoming phase of Creation.

The Passion

A great shift is in the making: A time for very deep purificationand cleansing from the inner core within ourselves and within the Earthup to the outer manifest reality. How this will all play out is ourchoice.

Many will understand the need for inner and outer focuson unity and love. However, many others will remain under the grip oftheir programmed old ways and thus experience this world with much fearwhile focusing on dis-unity.

This is a time where our greatestforce shall emerge from its hidden inner recesses as we face ourgreatest challenge: a transformation and trans-evolution of mankindwhen our thought processes transmute from a harsh concentration on lacktoward a gentler constant awareness of the beauty and unity of allwithin the ONE that we all are here to manifest.

This is a timeprophesied for eons where, in this world created around the notion ofpolarity, the “real” caring and nurturing Female energy is ready tointerpenetrate each of our hearts and balance out the Masculineexpansive powerful energy that has overtaken alone much of Creation anddestabilized it. It is in the balancing and the unity of the two thatour inner smiling probable future lays. Please allow this great andsacred energy in, and wish deeply for unity, for in that act lies thepath to our happiness and salvation.

All great changes bringabout in many much initial resistance, the degree of which will definethe course of this Creation for a long time to come.

As manyimpacting events are about to happen, and even more unfold in the nextmonths and years, often in an accelerated manner, one core issue willemerge as paramount in being the only real question to be asked and theonly solution to be had.

“Where does your passion lay?”

Doesit lay upon a world where all thoughts and common efforts are oncom-passion, forgiveness, unity, happiness, and the notion that we areall – without any exception -connected within the notion of ONE?

Isit your truest desire to unite the parts within yourself, the familywithout, and our greatest and most beautiful family: mankind?

Ordoes you passion lay upon events, stories, legends, and philosophieswhich evoke and trigger separation, elitism, fear, violence, control,gore, and the anti-force to the sacred notion of Unity of all andeverything within the One and Only?

Do you want to unify allpolarities to usher the proclaimed glorious era, or polarize even more?For this is the only question to be asked.

Please, I beg of you, watch carefully what you invite in your heart.

Ifyou invite within and resonate only with what unites us as one familyand therefore exalts life, then the peace of the ONE, wondrousCreation, and life, longer that you can ever imagine, will be yours.

However,if you invite and resonate within upon visions of death, fear, and allthat differentiates, divides, and separates us, then war, suffering,insecurity, and death will be yours.

All great spiritual masterscame to tell us of this choice and the two ways of seeing the samereality, and some even expressed it in their lives and experiences onpurpose, in order for us to understand the consequences.

A glassis either half full or half empty depending on your focus of attention.Both are true at the same time. It is your focus which will determinewhich path you will experience. You can either focus on what islacking, or what is wondrous. You can focus on the unity and commonthread of all existence, see the spectacular awe-some reality ofcreation, and experience the miraculous, or focus on what is lackingand then experience nothingness.

Please do not fall into the trap of “passion” for death again.

Pleasefall in love with yourself again, and with all your human brothers andsisters. For all are precious, magnificent, and sacred expressions ofthe ONE life force flowing through all living things.

Happy thoughts and Creation,
