Is God Punishing Mankind When Natural Disasters Strike?

Watch This Video… Then let me tell you about some impossible stereotyping…

Sometimes in the midst of tragedy the isolation of self is swallowed up in the unification of Care and Compassion for all thereby uniting the un-unified…

On March 11^th 2011 everyone’s eyes turned towards Japan in witness of the terrible natural disasters that pounded humanity, twice over….first an earthquake followed with the tsunami that engulfed many villages, peoples, and Japanese communities, literally swallowing them up.   Knowing that so many people were suffering, and would continue to suffer, really upset me and I could not keep these thoughts from replaying in my mind.

I have known that one of the most seemingly impossible tasks one can ever undertake is the rebuilding of ones life, and more importantly, one’s hopes to feel happy again in life after undergoing such devastation and tragedy.    So on March 16th I was at the gym and an Asian woman sat near me.  Because of the recentness of these events, I wanted to ask her if she had any family affected by the incidents in Japan though I did not want to appear to stereotype her; knowing that just because one has slanted eyes does not mean they are Japanese.

So I asked with apologetics, “I am not trying to stereo-type here, but are you from Japan because I was wondering if you or your family had been affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami?”  This person smiled and said, “I am not Japanese, I am Chinese, though I was born in Viet Nam, so I guess I am Vietnamese of Chinese decent.”  She then added, “No, I have no family there.”

Well I did end up feeling a little odd for asking her the, “are you Japanese” question; and I was glad I did not offend her; however, what she said next really shocked me….

She asked me if I were Christian…  Then she added, “I think God is punishing Japan for being so greedy and stealing the border lands of China and Russia; adding because they did this, God is punishing them….   Wow I thought, am I hearing this?   Later that same day I heard that a well known social media personality had insinuated the same idea, which had not been well received.  O.K. then, let’s look at these very complicated and stereo-typed mindsets; and let’s look at why people form the belief patterns that they do.

What are the influencing factors that cause them to formulate these beliefs?…

 Here is another video…

Notice the cries of those affected; how can anyone think that a loving god wants this suffering?

Disasters Occur when Hazards meet Vulnerability… 

 

What is in the path of Nature's Eruptions?

 

 

 By definition, a natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g., flood, tornado, hurricane, volcanic eruption, earthquake, or landslide). It leads to financial, environmental, or human losses.

The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard. This is also referred to as their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation that: “disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability.”

A natural hazard will therefore never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas pose no threat to human vulnerability. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement.

So it appears that the laws of nature apply in that occurrences of natural events are just that, natural events; and that they will only become a disaster in the sense that they are able to disrupt life or the living.  It is important to remember that in nature erosion is a necessity in the process of re-building environmental life structure itself.    Therefore human involvement in these natural events will determine the influence of the event as being a disaster or a part of naturally occurring events in the process of living nature itself.

Japan is a heavily congested area; I believe the last I heard the population ratio per mile was at 3000 people per mile.   It is therefore only logical to understand that when a natural environmental incident occurs in a heavily populated area, that it will have a devastating effect on the vulnerabilities encountered in a heavily populated region of land that is, due to its population ratio vulnerable and therefore un-prepared to face such an encounter.   In this way the natural occurrence becomes a naturally occurring disaster towards the humanity within a vulnerable area.

What is God?

So with this in mind, is God Punishing Japan; or are there external influencing factors? 

What is God?  More importantly, what are the attributes of a God?

 If we believe that God is a living being; and also that God created the life forces found within nature itself, then it would be important to correlate the purpose of God as a Life Creator as pertains to the occurrences of natural hazards, e.g. natural disasters and how these events counter-balance each other within the context of whether these events are supportive to the furtherance of environmental life itself; or whether they are simply causal effects of additional and/or external environmental influencing factors.

As in example, and earthquake causes a displacement of earth mass leading to a tsunami in coastal regions.  An earthquake is a response to another external influencer found in nature, such as in the shifting of earth mass, which can be caused by another influencing factor such as the shifting of gravitational polarities.  So in this context, is it rational to assume that these natural events are being caused by a God so that he can use them to destroy the very life he originally created?   Or are these things merely the forces of nature found in Natural Life itself?

Let’s look at this….

By definition God is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator, an overseer of the universe if you will. Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many different conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, an eternal and necessary existence as the creation force of the living.

 

It is direct belief that influences a person’s outlook…  

Many people have formed beliefs in various Gods as may pertain to their personal religions. For all individuals, it is their direct belief that influences their outlook on both their lives and that of their perceptions of what God is.  Jesus was considered to be the Son of God; and yet, even as a God; he found himself vulnerable to the natural occurrences of human nature, and in that way was crucified by nature of another form, e.g. natural man.   And yet, Jesus said these things of Man, “You are Gods in that the spirit of God dwells in you.”   Jesus also said of God, “God is Love and Light, in him there is no darkness at all.”    So it appears that the force of life, light, creation, and life existence all comes about because of God’s Love for Life, (as in all living things, including you and me.)

 

I have noticed that even though an attribute of God is defined as omnipotence, one having (unlimited power), there is no extinguishing of free will, free evolution, pertaining to any created living thing. All life forms are continuing on their natural paths.

However, mankind has, (as in the semblance of a God, e.g. a God Man, is the only life form having the ability to the attainment of conscious development leading to the processes of freewill choice); as such man is the only living creature that is capable of pre-destination.  This gives mankind the god-like ability to change the course and nature of events in his life.  Man can control his own destiny; not as with the environmental courses of nature which will always follow a predictable pattern according to the external environmental forces applied to themselves which promote a reaction through their external influences.

In the news recently I read due to the nuclear armament activity occurring within the borders of North Korea that North Korea has had to seek economic relief from China and Russia because of the economic embargos placed on this region by America in response to this nuclear armament.   The American positions on these nuclear armament activities were causing greater separation of unilateral supportive bargaining and cooperation between America, China, North Korea, and Russia.  Japan was vulnerably placed in the middle of these disputes also dependent upon these regions for its economic trade.  Due to these recent tragedies though, America has come to the aide of Japan supplying highly technological avionics to support the rescue and relief efforts in Japan.   This in turn has now caused civil disputes related to nuclear armament treaties to be replaced with a unilateral compassionate rescue and resource outreach within these regions thus serving as a positive influence towards the end of civil unrest and (for now), the threat of nuclear armament leading to war.

So, to me, it seems that it is not only the forces of nature coming to a civilization in the form of natural catastrophes that threaten mankind; but it is mankind himself that has potential to become his worst and tragic influencer towards the destruction of the life and the living of his own species.

Were we to become like true God Men and Women we would see the value of life, and instead of trying to find ways to destroy it; we would be actively working towards the support of life for all regardless of their position on the planet.

God, in great love, and as divine love itself through life creation, has given to man the ability to correct the course of his own life and save himself.   If we are spending time judging another group of people and assuming that a god of the living would instigate death, destruction, and suffering; then truly we are not fulfilling our ability to be highly conscious human beings.   Balance your rational mind with your heart of compassion, that would be my advice, for it is only through the influence of imbalance that tragedy arises.

Are You Ready to Retire at Age 70? Newly Proposed Law is Nothing More Than Political Power Grabbing of Your S.S.I. Retirement Savings…

Today a law is being drafted that will require you to work until the age of 70 before you can benefit from your Social Security Retirement Benefits which you have had deducted from your wages since the day you began to work. Additionally, new laws are being drafted with significantly cut funding to medical services to the disabled and elderly under the current governmental funded Medical Program.

Why is this occurring?  The ever standing answer coming to the American citizens is to balance the budget and reduce the deficit.   O.K., let’s look at America’s budget.   Today 57% of governmental spending, which adds consistently to national debt with out putting anything back, comes from the military, in large part going towards continued arms development.

In comparison, today according to the Social Security Trustees, the Social Security Trust Fund will be able to pay full benefits until 2037, and incoming payroll taxes will be sufficient to pay about 78 percent of benefits thereafter.

Even though these are accurate current statistics, our government is telling its America People that the SSI Administration system is out of funds, or will shortly be going bankrupt; when, in fact the SSI Administration is currently solvent.   So why are we being told that because the SSI funds are  so greatly diminished we must now consider having the retirement age increased to the age of 70 years?

I believe it is because of political greed coupled with political ambition.  How do these two things play into the picture as a whole?  The politicians continue to line the pockets of their corporate and privatized agenda programs that do nothing to actually benefit the individual American citizens through your taxed dollars.

However, these same politicians wish to maintain their current political ambitions by remaining in office, and to do this they need your vote.   However, they cannot continue to receive your vote of confidence if they continue to raise your taxes.    So why not tap into your Social Security retirement funds; better yet, why not privatize these services to privately owned and politically directed corporations which then can tap into your retirement savings to fund their personal, political, and corporate agendas while they remain in office under your vote!

These politicians currently use this modest gap in long-term funding of the SSI Administration as a pretext to justify proposals for large cuts in Social Security benefits. One frequently-discussed change to Social Security is to increase the age at which a retiree receives full benefits.    With this in place, these politically agenda driven politicians can tap into your savings.  In essence, forcing you to work longer for less.   Does that sound like something that is protecting you, or even in your best interest?    Let’s look at the effect that change would place on your livelihood and your life itself.

For most workers, increasing the full retirement age, which currently is 66, will result in a cut in those worker’s benefits. This is especially true for seniors who take early retirement at age 62. For these seniors, the Social Security benefit is currently reduced by 30 percent. By increasing a person’s full retirement age to the age of 70, as some advocate, the ending result would be a reduction in their benefit of about 45 percent.

Some of us have the means to retire on reduced Social Security benefits at age 62. But what about those who don’t want to retire that soon, but are forced to do so? Those who advocate for a higher retirement age reluctantly agree that some workers won’t be able to stay in the labor force until they are age 70 either because they have physically-demanding jobs, or those whose health worsens as they age, may also not be able to work until age 70. The remedy proposed by these advocates is to apply for Social Security disability benefits. This sounds like a workable solution, but is it? Let’s consider how the disability program works today.

Although economists and others have proposed raising Social Security’s retirement age, such a dramatic change should not be made without considering what it will mean for millions of America’s workers. It will mean especially deep cuts for those who can afford them least – lower income workers and those whose physically-demanding occupations make it impossible for them to work to up until the age of 70.  In an easy attempt to sidestep these problems, our government suggests that affected workers can just apply for disability.  Let’s look at that option…

The Disability Program’s definition of disability is very tough. In fact, it is one of the most restrictive definitions of disability among all of the government’s disability programs. It’s possible, for example, to qualify for disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs or from Civil Service and still not qualify for Social Security disability.

Why is this? It’s all in the program’s definition of disability. To qualify for Social Security disability, a worker must be unable to perform any substantial work due to the worker’s physical and/or medical condition. Not only must the disabling condition be severe, it must be long-lasting. Those with short-term disabilities cannot qualify.

Benefits can’t be paid for a partial disability. A worker is either 100 percent disabled or is denied benefits. Only those with the most severe disabilities can qualify. That leaves out many people in their early to mid 60′s who have health problems that limit their ability to work without being totally disabled. For example, a recent report by the Social Security Administration’s Inspector General revealed that the DDSs deny 78 percent of all cases involving disorders of the back. They also deny 81 percent of cases involving diabetes and 80 percent of claims involving disorders of the muscles and ligaments. And these are just the kinds of impairments that affect older workers.

If qualifying for disability is so difficult, where would increasing the retirement age leave older workers? They would remain in the workforce if possible, yes. But what if these workers lose their jobs? Finding new employment is challenging for older workers in the best of times. It is even more difficult during economic downturns like the one we are experiencing today with an over-all unemployment rate of 9.7% per State and rising. The alternative simply would be for an individual to accept a massive reduction in Social Security benefits. That’s bad for older workers and its bad for America.

Faced with the added stressors of poverty, plausible homelessness, and the lack of adequate medical care, these seniors would inevitably perish – the burden of life now too difficult to manage.  In death these helpless Americans, made helpless by their own government, would then leave their monies to remain in the SSI Administration account to be distributed out as per governmental discretion.

I personally see only tyranny in our current corrupted political system.   Now, let’s compare your options in a Twelve Visions Party Protection Only Government.   The Twelve Visions Party operates under the philosophy of a Prime Law Objective.    Basically, the Prime Law is one of non-initiatory force being levied in any way over one’s individual life, their organizational developments in business, or as may pertain to the establishing and keeping of their personal property, and (this would include your Social Security Retirement Savings).

In fact, with the Prime Law Amendment added as the over-arching amendment to our U.S. Constitution, our government would repay to you your Social Security retirement contributions now!  You would not have to wait until you are too old to work, or just die.

The Twelve Visions Party stands for a Protection Only Government.   This means that there would be no funding of politically driven agendas through your taxed dollars.   In fact, you would pay no governmental taxes at all to support politically driven agendas.   Today, corporations are running America into the ground, literally.   Under the Twelve Visions Party Platform, with the falling cost of living prices brought about by our Nation’s newly invigorated economic growth in industry, the unemployment rates would fall dramatically; the money that you have today that buys you little towards sustainment, would double your buying power due to falling prices.

I came across this additional video on this topic:

American can re-write her history and re-establish a government of the people, for the people, and by the people once again.    I urge you to call 1-800-998-0180 to let your local Congressional Leader know that you don’t want your retirement age to increase, and that you are ready for a change in our political system.

Let your voice be heard through peaceful reasoning, honest evaluation, and dedication to your freedom and rights as an American Citizen.   You can learn more about the Twelve Visions Party by visiting the links provided.

The 3000 Year Old Secret, Restoring Man’s Humanity to Man

In posting this video, it is my hope that All People will begin to understand just how far we have removed ourselves from that 3000 year old secret…

What is that secret?  The Purpose of Human Life is to Prosper and Live Happily.  We should love one another as we also love ourselves.

Love brings respect towards all life.  Respecting life requires that an individual ensure that they are not causing the removal of those things which bring prosperity and happiness into the lives of others, wherever they may be.

Another Question…

What has removed this purpose from mankind today?  It is man’s inhumanity to man.  How has this come into being?   The Answer is Force!  Humanity has been forced into forgetting that we have the right to live our lives in prosperity and happiness.   We have forgotten the age old standard of Loving One Another.

We have been forced rather to think about our own survival.  This attitude has historically always led to a “Kill or Be Killed” type of society, and has been the cause of many wars.

Our government is broken because we no longer look to ourselves to establish the life that we desire; instead we are waiting for our political system to make things better.   Our government has made the American people dependent on this broken system of flaw filled agendas and dishonesties.

It is impossible!  For now, mankind is mired in political depravity through deceit and the flaws of non-responsibility, coupled with non-conscious reasoning in decision-making.  Politics in America today is now only left with agendas driven by motives that are not designed to protect our individual’s right to live a life of freedom, happiness, and prosperity in this country and throughout the world.  This is the Nature of what Mr. Hamilton calls, “Flaw Filled Man.”

I have seen this man, Mark Hamilton, obviously a wealthy man; contribute thousands of his own dollars to bringing this message to you.  He has established a way out of this current spiraling downfall into deprivation and demoralization that we see within our political system in America today.   It is the Twelve Visions Party and its Prime Law.

The Prime Law as an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, will become the momentum which will remove the flaw filled agendas of a lost respect for humanity within our government; and instead will replace corruption with honesty, value destruction with value creations for one and for all, and above all ─ The Prime Law restores our American Government and the U.S. Constitution back to their original purposes, that of protecting the American People and establishing their individual rights.

Please go to: http://www.twelvevisionsparty.com/ to see Mr. Hamilton describe more about how this vision of prosperity Can Lift America Up, one Individual, one State, one Economy, and one Life at a time.   The Twelve Visions Party is the Non-Ruling Class Unifier…Don’t wait for someone to provide you with an answer, Become the Solution for American change!

Mr. Hamilton, I personally thank you for your generous contributions to humanity which you deliver through, not only your personal finances, but through your writings, your Neothink Society, and especially through The Twelve Visions Party platform and its Prime Law.

In my opinion, this is the only viable alternative to our current political system in America today.

Making Visions Reality:   What We Need in America Today!

This is an excerpt from the Bill of Rights to the American People; my suggestion follows the introductory text excerpt:

Congress OF THE United States begun and held at the City of New York, on Wednesday the Fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine.

(Let’s Make This Happen, 2012)

THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all or any of which Articles, when ratified by three-fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution; viz.:

The Prime Law

(The Fundamental of Protection)

The purpose of human life is to prosper and live happily.

The function of government is to provide the conditions that let individuals fulfill that purpose.

The prime Law guarantees those conditions by forbidding the use of initiatory force, fraud, or coercion by any person or group against any individual, property, or contract.

Article I

No person, group of persons, or government shall initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against any individual’s self, property, or contract.

Article II

Force is morally-and-legally justified only for protection from those who violate Article I.

Article III

No exceptions shall exist for Articles I and II.

BECOME THE SOLUTION, BECOME THE THREE FORTH MAJORITY VOTE 2012!

Sincerely,

Morals and Morality….What Do They Mean?…

Hi Everyone,

I like to enjoy my membership in the Neothink Society by visiting and posting to their discussion groups.    Reading a discussion in a group called “Morals” prompted me to write the following blog.

TO THE MORAL GROUP OF THE NEOTHINK® SOCIETY:

I was viewing topics to see which one I might fit into….I saw this and decided to check it out to stimulate me to think about what moral means and how I can implement it into my life.   Clicking on the link to the group I found the tapping icon and link, clicking on that link I went to a galactic federation information page, message from Archangel Michael.    A little confused here about the topic and the, (are they related links), so here goes.   First to say…..Love is the most powerful thing in the universe; this is the beginning of real and true moral functioning.

Moral, just a word in and of itself….However, the word spelt out means nothing to someone who knows not how to read the word, and then looks further to understand the definition of its meaning.   A word in and of itself is just a word.  Language is the development of knowledge through the presentation of descriptive words which are intended to correlate a word’s particular meaning.   So Moral is just a word.

However, morals are actions, (adjectives), which display intent.   Morals are those things which guide our lives towards a particular destination; perhaps that is why someone posted a msg. from Archangel Michael.  Angels are understood to be messengers of higher knowledge, higher wisdom.  However, knowledge “not applied” is just knowledge, just another word.

Morals are those things which an introspective person attempts to apply to their lives to help direct them on a path that leads to right thoughts, right expressions, right attitudes, and right motivations.  These are the ingredients of morals.   When applied, truth must be the balance from which we discern whether or not we are following a moral path.  And yet, if my morals devalue the truth in my life; or if my morals devalue something like expressions of love towards myself or another due to judgmental assumptions, then they become actions of immorality.

Let’s take a look at the definition of Moral from Dictionary.com:

Moral (Adjective) and action related to the noun moral.

Pertains to:

1. Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character: moral scrutiny; a moral quandary.

2. Teaching or exhibiting goodness or correctness of character and behavior: a moral lesson.

3. Conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior; virtuous: a moral life.

4. Arising from conscience or the sense of right and wrong: a moral obligation.

5. Having psychological rather than physical or tangible effects: a moral victory; moral support.

6. Based on strong likelihood or firm conviction, rather than on the actual evidence: a moral certainty.

As a Noun, (person, place, or thing) Morals are:

1. The lessons or principles contained in or taught by a fable, a story, or an event.

2. A concisely expressed precept or general truth; a maxim.

3. Morals Rules or habits of conduct, especially of sexual conduct, with reference to standards of right and wrong: a person of loose morals; a decline in the public morals.

So the question to each of us as individuals is.

What are my moral values?

How much do I value them, e.g. how much do I apply them to my conscious living?

Do they benefit me and those for whom I contact?

Do I want morals to be a rule of  life?

Is my moral life subject to the judgment of others?

That last question is how a neo-cheating world and many religions have turned the beauty of morality into something for which it was not intended to be.   You see Morals are the stuff of your consciousness; they are the scales of truth weighed against the imbalance of falsehood.

When the Romans realized that the people believed in a Christ because of the miracles performed in their presence; fear set in for the Romans.   If the people thought Christ was the Messiah then perhaps they would not believe in the Roman rule, later to initiate the Roman Catholic Church.   Therefore a remedy was needed.   Like so many pagan ceremonies, a blood sacrifice was Christ on the cross.  In this way Rome was fulfilling the destiny of the gods.    Today, and because of this projected false morality, people today still feel that blood is needed to bring them before the presence of God, un-tainted with the stain of sin.

Morals state, “You can wash the outer garment, and yet the habits of immorality will stain the vesture of your life again and again.”    Morals are the bleach added to our lives which re-create the value of the life we represent as we grow in truth and love toward ourselves and one another.

Morals are not the balance of judgment weighed against another’s maximums and standards.  They are individual and independent….in that the level of morality attained is based on each individual’s own conscious convictions and commitments, and according to their level of conscious development.   In this the true balance does not judge the scales as weighed heavily in one direction or another.  If we live in love, we are always objective towards others and ourselves, for they, like us, are moving in a direction for a destination not yet attained.   We realize the journey of life is long, it is immortal.   Looking at it from an immortal perspective….then the baby steps we take towards morality are just that, baby steps.   Sometimes we fall, sometimes we crawl, and again and again throughout life we will be ever rising towards the path of truth and being.

As self leaders we are all, and only accountable first to our inner god-man and god-woman, then to those whom we interact with, and finally to the God; that great light within you that separates you from the animals and gives you opportunity towards attaining a higher conscious state of being.    We are the stuff of the universe, we are immortal beings, and we are continually in development towards a higher state of being and consciousness.

Our consciousness is our inner gift to ourselves; it, when representing truth and morality, it can only express the most important of expressions….   The love of life.   Which parent would not continue to love their little child who has fallen and then offer a hand to lift them up?   In this way morals become the actions of love and acceptance toward all of mankind when we implement their loving standards into our lives and our interactions with the world around us.

Farewell to America…

Farewell to America (Part 1)

Now that we are headed into another electoral process with the upcoming Presidential elections at term end of President Obama, I decided to look in to what a political party is supposed to be and what it is supposed to do for America and her people.

Traditionally, a political party is an organized political group of members who seek to attain and maintain the political purposes of its governing body.  Originally, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence and ratification of the U.S. Constitution into law, the purpose of politics in America was to first attain and then maintain political power for America within the establishment of her independent governmental system thereby removing America and her peoples from the rule of England and her King.

In nonpartisan elections, each candidate is eligible for office on his or her own merits. In nonpartisan legislatures, there are no typically formal party alignments within the legislature. The administration of George Washington and the first few sessions of the US Congress were nonpartisan. Washington also warned against political parties during his Farewell Address.

I found it interesting to read that the administration of George Washington and the first few sessions of the U.S. Congress were nonpartisan.  George Washington’s Farewell Address was written to “The People of the United States” near the end of his second term as President of the United States.

George Washington summarized his zeal in establishing and maintaining the purpose and ideals of the union of the States through the U.S. Constitution as a non-partisan document with these statements from his Farewell Speech:

Excerpts from George Washington’s Farewell Speech:

“Interwoven in our Constitutional purpose is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.”

“The unity of Government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very Liberty, which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee, that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the Palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion, that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.”

Farewell to America… (Part Two)

In these statements, Washington clearly emphasizes the importance of protection of the union in the bond between the States as this bond, in and of itself, (the U.S. Constitution), was designed to ensure protection of America, her Peoples, as well as her Prosperity as a Nation.   This was considered the pillar supporting the Non-Partisan ideals of Independence and Freedoms for All People in America as outlined in the Declaration of Independence.

He further relates these as individual values to the American people; in that, although they may be of different States, it is the work towards Independence and Liberty that was the common bond between the States themselves despite their personal agendas that brought about Liberty and the Hope of Prosperity to America and her People.

Again, from the Farewell Speech…

“For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country have a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts, of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.”

“But these considerations, however powerfully they address themselves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those, which apply more immediately to your interest. Here every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding and preserving the Union of the whole.”

With a nonpartisan system… No official political parties exist; for often when a political party is governing the peoples, restrictions on political parties are created in an effort to turn the tides of events in the political arena favoring one party’s agenda over another….

We had seen this in the Red and Blue tail spin at the ballot box which removed Al Gore (a Democrat – political party one) from the Presidential Office, replacing him with George Bush (a Republican – political party two); this was all blamed on the electoral processes itself and that ambiguous entity, “The Hanging Chad!”

In recounting these unusual events, Justice Antonin Scalia was quoted as stating…

“The counting of votes of questionable legality has done irreparable harm not just to petitioner Bush but to the country as a whole. Indeed, how far has this August body fallen that we might contemplate as reasonable the perversion of an election and the awarding of the highest office in the land to a man—never has the term been more laughably conferred—who could not even carry his home state. We have abrogated reason and truth in favor of a consoling liberal fiction, a farce of wish-fulfillment identity politics.”

Why did George Washington feel that the two-party system was a threat to the American Constitution’s purpose?

Farewell to America…  (Part Three)

This except taken from his Farewell Speech clarifies the question:

“Towards the preservation of your government, and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the constitution, alterations, which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown.”

“In all the changes to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments, as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard, by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hypothesis and opinion; and remember, especially, that, for the efficient management of our common interests, in a country so extensive as ours, a government of as much vigor as is consistent with the perfect security of liberty is indispensable. Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, little else than a name, where the government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the society within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of person and property.”

“I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally.  This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.”

This is what Mark Hamilton describes as, Flawed Filled Man” and/or the Flawed Filled Agendas of today’s Fractal Politicians.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.”

This is what we see today in the political arena as the Ruling Class Elite have driven the motives of many flawed fill politicians towards a direction that prospers the elite; and undermines the prosperity of the individual American Citizen.

“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischief’s of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.  It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, occasionally creating riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”   A prime example of Initiatory Force!

“There is an opinion, that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in Governments of a Monarchical cast, Patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.”

“It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution, in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position.”

Concludes Portions of George Washington’s Farewell Speech to the American People…

Farewell to America…   (Part Four)

In order for a political party to represent the purpose of its citizens political parties utilize the electoral campaign process.  In this way, parties often seek to represent their party’s ideology or vision through a written platform which outlines the specific goals and purposes for those goals within the party system.

The Twelve Visions Party® can be considered a party, only in that it is an organization of American Citizens which believe that America, her political processes, and her politicians have deviated from the original strengths and virtues which were represented in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.  In a sense the Twelve Visions Party® can be seen as a non-partisan agreement between the American Citizens of our day who thoroughly agree that we need to amend our U.S. Constitution with the protection only values of the Prime Law Amendment.

The Prime Law Amendment will return America to her original designation as the UN-COMPROMISED PROTECTOR OF EACH INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN CITIZEN.

In this way, the Twelve Visions Party can become the non-ruling class unifier; bringing back the opportunity for prosperity to all Americans and not just the Ruling Class Elite who have currently taken America down the path of corruption and poverty.

The Visions of the Twelve Visions Party® will restore the Economic Activity, Social Vitality, and Individual Prosperity of Life to All Americans, thereby re-establishing their Constitutional Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness once again.

The Twelve Visions of Mark Hamilton, A Vision for America Today…

These twelve visions make up the framework of the Twelve Visions Party® Platform.

An Amendment that restores our U.S. Constitution to its original framework is what is needed today.

The Health Care Reform Bill Can End Your Life, Please Don’t Let This Happen!

  

My God!  Please Say It Isn’t So!!!

 

These are frightening comments from the producer of this video; and I have personally studied portions of this Bill HR3200.  What you see here is correct. 

Does this make you concerned for the future of your children, your parents, yourself?  It really should.  I heard this morning that D.C. is murmuring about with this quote, “Is this the week to pass the Health Care Reform?” 

 

It’s Not Too Late….You Can Make Your Voice Heard!   If you viewed this video then you know just how serious this is…..Please read below and let us stand together for change now…. 

 

You can make a huge difference in protecting your freedoms and rights by contacting your Assembly and State Senate representatives yourself.  Every year, organizations like the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association battles with tax-and-spenders at the State Capitol in order to protect taxpayers’ rights. But it really gets their attention when their own constituents contact them. We the members of the Twelve Visions Party® also have a message to share. 

 

The most powerful tool for taxpayers when contacting representatives is still a one-page handwritten letter.  However, if you do not have time to write, a call or a brief e-mail message will still have a great impact. 

 

When contacting your legislator, remember that the best way to be heard is to be polite, stick to the point, and ask for specific action from the legislator. 

 

I have written my Senator about this, can you write yours?
Just 15 minutes to make your voice heard can mean a world of difference.Use this link to find your local Representative: 

http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml 

 

So take a moment to think about what you want to see change in our current political system and then write that letter. 

 

You can also ask your representative to view http://tvpnc.org/platform/ 

 

This is an American Peoples Group working to retain our rights and freedoms as Americans here in the United States.  This website is very informative and will help you to begin to understand the values of Twelve Visions Party® members. Remember, be specific about what you want to see changed and ask for a specific answer to the problem. 

 

I personally will be asking that this proposed Health Care Re-Form Bill H.R.3200 be rejected as it threatens the health and well being of all Americans. 

Thank you,

Invitation To Immortals From The Heart Of Love…

The remaining message is clear…   We Are Never Alone..

 

Here is the insight I was given..

A soul was born empty and as such, was alone on its long journey into creation.   This soul was blind, and perceiving itself as without a body floated aimlessly into the solitude of the depth of darkness.   And so it was, hoping to find hope and a meaning for an existence without embodiment. 

  

The darkness was forever, and its vastness great; and in all the space of time and movement for which this soul found itself floating, there was nothing and no one that could look upon this movement of life, or to even describe to it what its appearance was.    In solitude it motioned through the black universe waiting to feel the sensation of touch which would confirm its existence to itself in the absence of another.   The thoughts of this solitary and self-generated new-born as it moved into existence were as follows:   

I am moving through the darkness.   I can feel myself, but, where am I?  I feel the black vast void and try to reach out to touch something.   I can’t find my sense of touch, where am I?  What am I?  I have to ask myself……….  How did this happen?   Where did I originate? What is this place?  Why do I feel that I must see something that will teach me who I am, what I am, and where I am.   The only thing I can feel is my essence moving through this blackness. This must be what I am.  Am I only an essence of the darkness?  How do I know that this which I move through is darkness? 

 

Where did this knowledge come from, to name a thing that as yet has not been seen?  Is this what I am…….the blackness, the darkness?   How can I have knowledge of what it is to see, to have site? How can I see through something while having no physical form, am I only an essence?   I do not feel a density to my being…..there is nothing solid about me and yet I have feelings of being connected to something.  I know that I am something moving through the darkness, but what am I longing for?  Why do I feel there is more?   This darkness is so empty.    It is lonely in the darkness because I see nothing; I only feel that I am something moving through this dark space.    Is this just a black hole somewhere in infinity?   It now seems that I am an embodiment of darkness.   Can darkness think and feel as I do?  How do I know what it is to feel if I have no density, no physical body?  Am I just a thought and feeling?   If only I could see what I am.   If I could see my embodiment then maybe I could see more than this ethereal darkness.   Is there a shape beyond the darkness?   

I hear only the sound of myself moving through the vast darkness of space and I feel alone.   This causes me to think again, am I only this vast darkness?   This cannot be for darkness is a void, nothingness, and nothingness has no particular thought or feeling I tell myself.    Who can I discuss these thoughts with?   How can I express who I am when there is only nothingness?   I tell myself, “Truly I am alone in this vast dark space.”   How long will I experience this dark nothingness?  Is this the eternity of my life span?   I cannot bare it.

  

I continued moving through the darkness and thought to myself; maybe I need to look for a direction in which to move so that I can reach something besides myself in this dark silent nothingness.  I have moved in a straight path through this nothingness for how long I do not know.   In this darkness I have no sense of which direction I am moving.   Maybe If I can go faster I will then feel my essence brushing past the darkness to a degree that will give me a sense of which direction I am moving.    Let me try…….   I closed the vision of sight that I will call an orbital vision, (these eyes), and let my mind move me faster and faster through the touch of darkness. 

I thought to myself, I dare not open my eyes for I may become disillusioned with the continual dark nothingness for which I feel myself moving.    I do feel something now.   I feel a touch of passage; something is giving me a sense of embodiment as I swiftly move through the darkness that is a void.  I feel as though I have a shape, a form, something is parting the path of darkness and I sense as though I am as a swift force parting a path through the darkness.    This is something.   This sensation I will call a feeling because I feel myself moving due to the air brushing past me as I move faster and faster through the void.   Then it occurs to my thought that I must be something, I must have an embodiment if I can feel the darkness brush past me.    This thought gives me a new hope a renewed energy causing me to move faster and faster with heightened anticipation of what this nothing may become. 

  

Then it dawned on me, I had awakened something within me as I rapturously continued speeding through the black void of soundless darkness?   I had broken through to understand that I indeed had some form as this form did embody my thoughts and feelings.  The dark wind continued to brush past my being and I felt a sensation that I had not known.   It was a grand and all-encompassing sense of contentment, something I wish to call joy, an essential contentment within my being.  

  

That was it!  I realized that I had a being, and embodiment of some form that was able to contain not only my thoughts but now alas my feelings.  With this new enlightening, I received a strong surge of force as if a joyful energy and I heard a voice from the wind saying, “Pass through this place, a place I have prepared for you,” and at once I seemed to break through the dense darkness.  

  

 As I punctured through this tunnel of vast darkness I opened my eyes to behold something shimmering below me.

 ”Below me I thought!?” I thought as if to question myself as I seemingly gravitated towards this lower shimmering atmospheric density I viewed below me.   Yes there is something in the direction below me, it is different from the total darkness for which I have been moving.   It changes shape, there seems to be some type of light shimmering and slithering over the surface of what I see below me.   As I gaze in amazement at what I am seeing, at once I feel a spark of something other than the black darkness for which I have traveled.   With this new revelation, continually I focused my thoughts on moving faster and faster in the direction below me. 

  

 Then I understood for the first time that beyond the darkness lay possible directions of travel.   Maybe I am not alone I said to myself.  Is there more than this dark void?  Could it be that there are other essences’ also moving through this vast dark space in search for something more than this nothingness?   My thoughts turned to wondered amazement as I considered the possibility that I am not a single entity moving alone through the darkness without a shape or form.   In fact there had been the voice speaking to me and telling me there was a place prepared for me; I had only to pass through to that direction.   And I began to feel as if there was a purpose to whom and what I must be as I traveled in darkness to a place prepared for me.  

  

What would I see?  Would there be others like me?  Would I finally perceive my form?   Then I could finally understand the purpose of my being – yes I would be able to discern my purpose when I came into contact with others like me!   Suddenly I passed through a new substance!  Water was all around me; and a voice saying, “This is the Universe and its Sea of Possibilities I have prepared for you.”   I asked the voice, “How will I know my purpose in this vast Universal possibility?”   “You are a part of it already,” came the response; “You have only to share yourself through connecting with others in this realm.”   “Where are the others?” I asked!

 

The pressure moved all about me and then a light engulfed me and at once I could see that I was a light connected to a stream of light beings which were connected to the movement and direction the light was traveling.   The Love….The Love flowing through this stream of light was an essence of my being, and we all shared this love!   “Through this loving union which is given and shared through the motion of our unified direction; you form the heavenly body of one,” spoke again the voice of the whirlwind.

  

 Tears reached my eyes and dropped down through the heavens as newly born lights which suddenly became crystallized and hardened into the stars of the universe.  All of these beings of etherial light which I could see did mirror back to me that which I also was.   Our voices consciously sang in unison, we are the love that gives life in the heavens, this life becomes living love as such we share and mirror the light of our life back out as we reach out connect to, and receive each other into our union.   We are One and because of us the All One, who is invisible and without embodiment in us, has a way to Love All through us.   It is the invisible Love that connects to all lives with each new birth of a soul into its journey through creation.    The Circle that is Un-ending, it is the Circle of Life Immortal.

 

This conclusion became the realization that we are all one and our union, as joined in a whirlwind of light, a whirlwind of life…and this light is one which will never end…

Five Secrets to Staying Young…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Five Secrets to Staying Young

Hi and welcome back to this, “Take Back Your Beauty, Take Back Your Youth” blog – part two.  I hope that you and your significant other have had an opportunity to open up your inhibitions and/or ideas pertaining to your emotional health and sexual relationship “after baby” having read blog one in this series.  If so, you have had a reawakening in your sexual experience with your partner, coupled with a greater understanding of what those deep rooted expressions of love mean to your ongoing relationship.  More Importantly, I hope you had fun while doing it!   A big part of staying young is having a young heart and mind.  Don’t forget to play once in awhile. 

 

In blog one I closed with a statement from Dr. Oz that quote, “If you define aging as the number of years you have left to be vital, you can reverse the aging process.”  Until recently, medical professionals have always looked at the declining features of aging in an attempt to understand the process and perhaps slow down or reverse this process.  However, today there is an increase in the elderly population’s ability to retain vitality and strength, even into the 80′s’.  These individuals are now called the “Superaged” in the medical field, and they have become a great source of research data related to reversal of the aging process itself.   Listed below you will read the most eye opening discoveries related to these exciting age reversal studies to date.

 

Okinawa, Japan is known as the place on the map that is the home to some of the world’s oldest individuals.  These people had a similarity that contributed to their longevity.  These people stopped eating when they were 80% full, unlike many of us that say, “I’m Stuffed!”   Scientists at St. Louis University found that cutting calories, to reduce food intake not only led to weight loss but also lowered the production of T3, a thyroid hormone that slows metabolism.  Research studies pertaining to the T3 hormone reveal that lower T3 levels may also slow the aging process.

 

Dr. Oz, in his book, (YOU: Being Beautiful), says, “Make Love!”  A regularly active sex life can add up to three years to your life, as he states, “Sex gives you the Zen moment you can’t find throughout the day otherwise.”  This is a direct indicator of how physical activity, (increased heart rate and circulation), as well as mental stimulation work with each other to support both life extension and emotional well being…wonderfully amazing!

 

Untangle your brain!  Neuropsychological tests performed on the “Superaged” discovered that they have fewer brain tangles-deposits of protein in the gray matter of the brain which is commonly associated with Alzheimer’s.   These “Superaged” individuals, when participating in intellectual testing performed as would a 50 year old suggesting that their constant mental exercises contributed to their ability to retain mental acuity.   You must keep your synapses firing by doing such things as mathematical problems, learning a new language, or taking up a hobby that causes you to be creative.  Art and music are great venues.

 

One study published last year tracked 6,583 people for more than 30 years to discover that having significant belly fat in midlife can nearly triple your risk of dementia.   There are great exercises you can do to loose that excess while sitting at your desk!   Cross your legs while sitting in your chair and lift your knees up as high as you can in repetitions of 20 at a time.  Do this each day and you begin to firm up/break up the fat in your belly through muscle replacement.  Take a 20 minute walk each day and watch that belly fat melt away.

 

In addition to reducing calorie intake so that you are not “Stuffed” after each meal, reducing the amount of animal fat in your diet, and replacing your protein source with more beans, nuts, and soy products greatly enhances longevity.   I have been a vegetarian for 30+ years.  I run a 10.44 mile, two to three miles and at time; and at an (older than I care to admit age), still ride bike, play basketball, and keep up with my 18 year old son in our exercise program three times a week at the gym.     So get excited!    You can live healthy and have fun while doing it!

No Taxation Without Representation……

 

 No Taxation Without Representation 

The slogan, (No taxation with out representation), was used as a political slogan in the Americas from 1763 to 1776. This slogan summarized the primary grievance between the British colonists and the Thirteen Colonies known today as the United States of America.  Many of the American colonists believed that the lack of direct representation in the governing British Parliament was an illegal denial of their rights as Englishmen.  Therefore, the laws requiring taxation of the colonists, as well as other laws imposed on the colonists pertaining to their currency, were considered unconstitutional.  

At that time the Parliament realized that in order to control a people, the economy of the people had to be controlled first.  The best way to insure the advantage of the Parliament over the Thirteen Colonies was to increase the monetary status of the Parliament through taxation while at the same time reducing the monetary economy of the Colonies through the resulting social economic collapse due to this taxation.  This allowed the Parliament to garner funds attained from the Colonies through taxation and then use those funds to purchase gold and silver which was intrinsically more powerful than the currency which the Colonists were printing as their own currency in the Americas.

This morning I heard on the local news that the our state governor has placed two propositions on the ballot which would charge a .25 cent tax on grocery bags which we are given freely to help carry our purchased staples from the market. Remember, it is our purchase of these staples which promotes the economy; now it seems that we are to be taxed for the labor of putting food on the table and supporting our economy.  Do you feel represented in the proposition of this new tax?  I usually carry 4 shopping bags out of the store about two to three times a week.   Let’s look at the numbers:

 25 X 4 = $1.00 X 3 per week = $ 3.00 X 4 per month = $ 12.00 X 12 months in a year = $ 144.00 per year

That’s Just for The Bag!!!  How many of you can afford a chauffeured driven ride to your tax payer supplied governor’s mansion?   How many of you cannot afford healthcare for your young children; while we recently watched our governor receive exceptional orthopedic care via tax payer paid surgical expenses to help our governor recover from a skiing accident while vacationing at an exclusive ski resort.  When was the last time you could afford to even take a day off work? I ask you again, “Do You Feel Represented?”

This kind of governmental manipulation through imposing another taxation ballot proposition, which is hiding under a cloaked banner such as HR31000 to oblivion for example, is easy to accomplish as many are just too busy trying to survive to research what these quote, “For the good of the people” propositions are.  In these difficult times of “How do I feed my kids tonight?” we just feel that we have no time to worry about learning what these new propositions may mean to our life’s; and therefore we go on struggling on, voting for things we are told are good for us and in so doing are giving up more and more of our civil liberties.  These economic manipulations are forcing our society to become divided into a society of the poor and a society of the wealthy elite. 

While welfare programs are being cut off to the poor and disabled, huge welfare bailouts are being given to large corporations.  While we are being given tax increase upon tax increase; big corporations are being given greater and even greater tax cuts and financial bail outs such as has most recently occurred again for the automotive industry.  So I ask, “Do You Feel You Are Being Represented?”   Through these deceitful governmental taxation propositions I really get the feeling that the governmental elite must think we are stupid!  I am standing on the roof top screaming out to these deceptive practices, “I am not dead! I am intelligent; I value my civil liberties; and I will not vote myself into economic ruin, I will not be defeated!” 

I will not be oppressed into idiocy and driven into submission.  I value my right to stand as a Citizen of America. One, who as stated in our Declaration of Independence is created as equally endowed by my creator with certain unalienable rights, among which are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.   Therefore I proclaim as did our forefathers, “I want no taxation without representation.”  Will you join me in the revival of this slogan and take back your freedom?
