In 5,000 years of civilization, not one of the past remains. Civilization, under the tutelage of the Obama Administration, is now heading for one-world socialism, taking from rich nations and giving to poor nations. The poorest Americans are rich by world standards. Goodbye America.
In 1607, England’s King James established Jamestown in a totally hostile environment, in what is now Virginia. The residents had little more than the first to civilize 5,000 years earlier. Of the 9,000 who came, only 1,000 survived. From Jamestown, America’s pioneers, from trial and error, were ready in 1887 to accept the U.S. Constitution. There were no brand new ideas in it, but never before had so many good ideas been put together in a basic scheme of government. America became the envy of the world. America became the richest most powerful nation on earth. President Obama and the Democrats running for reelection don’t like America’s original Constitution. They insist on continually rewriting it, each time with less individual rights and responsibilities, and with each writing more government control.
Today, there is serious talk about scraping America’s Constitution altogether, replacing it with Marxist government. Not one civilization in 5,000 years has given humans what they want: individual happiness and self-realization. There never has been and never will be a government that gives anyone happiness and self-realization. So forget it. The individual is expendable. That’s the answer we get from Washington.
We’re now faced with a choice: a system that says happiness and self-realization is up to the individual, or the individual doesn’t count. In the latter case, it is not civilization that really counts; it is the dreams of control freaks that really count.
With America’s control freaks on my mind, in 1973 I studied the Constitution and came to the conclusion that my happiness and self-realization was all that counted. Everyone I knew felt it was a terribly selfish point of view. At the time, my life was in a state of chaos. No one had answers. There was my individual situation opposed by all the people with the right to vote, and I was expendable. To hell with that idea. If I was to get a life, I was on my own.
On Good Friday 1975, on the day Christians commemorate as the day Christ was crucified (not planned), I drove out my driveway and never returned. I did not begin my new life with happiness and self-realization. Far from it, there were all manner of road blocks put in my way. For cutting out, I deserved to be crucified. Christ’s answer: “Forgive them, Father. For they know not what they do.”
After my departure, I went to sea on a 37 foot sailboat. At sea, I was strictly on my own in an environment that could turn life-threatening in minutes. No one was there to save me from a watery grave, save “Higher Law.” Miraculously, I survived and saved six other people during my time at sea. I left my life at sea captain of my ship, and with the faith that a higher power allowed me to live the life I was intended to live.
It began with my notion, and from the Constitution, that in spite of the risk I could overcome all obstacles and proceed with my own life. My life has been getting better and better. I’ve just passed age 85, and the best year yet.
In review of my life, when I departed in 1975, on Good Friday, I had no thought of religion or Christ. All I had was voices of the past encouraging me in the Constitution. I felt a bigger than life calling. Much later I found Jesus on my own. Christ’s crucifixion stands as symbol: after the calamity, hope and renewal.
The Iranian Muslim, Ahmadimejad, at the United Nations claimed that the United States orchestrated the 9-11 attack. Muslims want to build a mosque next door to ground zero. U. S. Marxist control freaks approve of the mosque. I think of the 9-11 event as a symbol: after the calamity, hope and renewal.
It all fits. We are leaving the Age of Pisces, an age of authoritarian rule and weak wills, entering the Age of Aquarius, an age of strong wills and brotherhood. Along with the new age comes new science, recognizing consciousness as essential in the mix of things. We humans are observers. Our minds interact with the aspects of matter; that is, the microcosmic world of infinite possibility. A thought doesn’t have form or figure, but from it comes manifestation. We make our reality. Which is better, the individual’s reality, or society’s reality, the individual expendable—one individual with power to decide which individuals exist and which don’t. At the present, the IRS, unconstitutionally, has the authority to decide who has a roof over his head and who doesn’t. What’s next?
The choice: take a chance or go on a sure thing: moral, spiritual, and fiscal bankruptcy. Chance favors the prepared mind. If you accept mine as the right ideas, please pass them on. Our future depends on it.
