James C. Watson, a frequent poster, says, “We’ve all been hoodwinked.” The problem is that we all have different ideas on how we’ve been hoodwinked. A house divided soon falls.
State is defined as the condition of a person or thing, the thing, in America’s case, the welfare state, the condition, codependence between the person and state. Codependency is defined as an addiction, in this case, between the person and state. For the past century, America has been progressing toward big, oppressive government. Under “Higher Law,” the background of the U. S. Constitution, I say we are here with increasing purpose, to progress toward freedom and independence.
The U.S. Constitution was set up to avoid the welfare state, by dividing power in such a way as to keep it in balance. The Supreme Court’s edict on Obamacare was one more nail in the coffin of the balance of power.
There are two types of people: those who lead and those who follow. The question: How do we break the welfare state addiction? Logically, we make it as painless as possible. This brings up the question of how the American people became addicted to welfare. Social Security is based on the current generation of income producers paying those who don’t produce an income. The government set the age. The first Americans to reach the magic age, after Social Security became law, paid very little to retire and receive a taxpayer financed income for life. My father paid for one year and retired at age sixty-five. He lived to age 94. He received many times what he contributed. No question about it, the American people were conned into the notion of letting the future pay. My father’s bonanza meant that those who followed had to make up the difference. The welfare state is a pyramid game. Currently, those who pay Social Security tax will pay more than they receive. Add the undeniable fact that America’s welfare state is bankrupting America morally, spiritually, and fiscally. Your government has painted itself into a corner. It doesn’t matter who you vote for. Your government is a basket case.
The welfare state begins with the leaders’ “duty” to solve the person’s problems, the idea that the leader knows best. Include in the leadership both secular and religious leaders. I’m a secular humanist, defined as one who promotes human values without specific allusion to religious values, or in my case, to secular values. I’m what is known as a free spirit.
Coincidentally, the term free spirit fits the Aquarian personality, the welfare state addict, the Piscean personality. We are moving away from the Piscean personality, toward the Aquarian personality.
When we are born, the heavens have a certain nomenclature. The nomenclator is the astrologer. In Matthew 6, “Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven; followed by, “No man can serve two masters;” followed by, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God,” when and where comes the kingdom of God?
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, ‘the kingdom of God cometh not with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in you” (Luke 17:20-21).
The cutting edge of science maintains that your mind is inextricably part of the mind or God, or what science now calls the consciousness of the universe. I’m Virgo with Aquarius rising. Astrologers say I’m potentially able to envision the future. H. G. Wells, famous for envisioning the future, was Virgo with Aquarius rising. Wells, an English intellectual, envisioned one-world socialism. He lived at a time when the British Commonwealth was in a fight to protect its possessions. Incidentally, one of England’s possessions was Kenya. Obama’s father hated British colonialism. He was a communist. Obama adores his father’s stand. My background is American independence; in fact, all the back to America’s beginning.
When I read the Constitution, with the thought of taking action myself to protect my God-given rights, I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me. At the time, my life was in ruins. I cut from the herd and went on my own. When things should have gone wrong, things went better. I envision future people looking within for their answers.
Well’s choice: “Its egoism has battled instinctively of necessity to get the best of the bargain and receive with as little giving as possible…. Plainly the thesis is that history must now continue to be a string of accidents with an increasingly disastrous trend, until a comprehensive faith in the modernized World-State, socialistic, cosmopolitan and creative, takes hold of the human imagination.”
When I began my book of memoirs eleven years ago, the pieces of my life began to fall into place. I remain anti-religious and anti-government, but believe with all of my heart that Jesus is my savior and redeemer. The questions I answer in my book of memoirs, In Earth as It Is in Heaven 2012, are apropos. My book should be available in about three weeks.

An astrologer told me that the configuration of my chart is similar to the best known psychics. Years ago, I read The Celestine Prophecy by astrologer James Redfield. For $25, Redfield sent me an audio tape on my astrological makeup. Said Redfield:
The Virgo ego integration with the higher self, and the higher self perspective is going to be defined along the lines of the Virgo archetype, which is, of course, our need for organization: to be effective, to be conscientious about making things better.
We all start at immature levels of ego functions. We have a sense of security based on how much we feel in charge of our lives. We want to keep the idea that things are going fine. We have goals we want to achieve. We need to manipulate things to keep everything just right. We need to keep this allusion for security purposes. If new information comes in, we can act defensively. We don’t want information that rocks the boat.
What happens is that this allusion, based on security control, has to shift to our inner connection, our God-self force that gives us a sense of well being no matter what’s going on out there. We have to make that opening on the inside. As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life.
When you evolve into your higher self, you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent.
yes I do believe in the power of mind having been accused of mind reading and at times having brief moments of clairvoyance.
As I thought about you this came to mind

Yes: Very interesting and informative
Keep in mind when I say WE have been hoodwinked I refer to the public at large starting about 1900 or so, and those doing the hoodwinking were those who gave us the Federal Reserve and the Tax on labor to pay the interest on the use of the Federal Reserve currency [loan]
I say that the United States should have stayed out of WWI and have allowed it to go stalemate so a just
treaty to end hostilities could have been put in place instead of the one that punished Germany and created the economic conditions that lead to WWII, and the cold war.
You speak of the cosmic connection, and yes I do believe it exists and we are all part of it.
Does that change this situation ?
not in the short term but in eternity it may
From your writing I do not believe you can be a secular humanist, but to pin a label on you is not my job.
You and Johnathan Livingston Seagull do fly in like circles
