Dale Robertson: “We, The People, demand the best candidate, not the usual Democrat or Republican, but who lines up with Constitutional conservative platform.” Hey Dale! How are we to know? Can anyone tell us what the Tea Party is really about? I have not found agreement. Everyone has his or her own idea.
Gen. 1:26: “And God said, Let us make man in our image.” Did that mean with the help of the clergy? Did that mean with the help of government? If you take an isolated Bible passage, you can make a case for your idea of what Gen. 1:26 means. If you take a statutory law, one that attends to today’s needs, you can make a case for the law. If you take the Bible in its overall context, or if you take the whole of the U.S. Constitution, the meaning of Gen. 1:26 is clear. “Us” is you and I, individually, first, last, and always. “In light of today’s needs,” you do not make laws that rob Peter to pay Paul.
The image you have of yourself is more than likely to be an image the environment put in you. For instance, white people were taught that black people were somehow less than white people. I was born in the South. That’s what I was taught. During World War II, I was behind a black man in uniform at the train depot in Atlanta, Georgia. He was denied entrance in the depot restaurant. We were on a troop train heading for the war in the Pacific. This black man, who was willing to give his life for his country, was not good enough to dine with white folks.
Black people, by law, were like mules. The South depended on slavery. Black people were thought to be physically better equipped to do hard manual labor in the blistering heat of the South than whites. Southerners were taught, and in their churches, that black people were inferior to white people. If they had equal rights with whites it was feared they could not handle it. This way of thinking was general. It included the Founding Fathers. Was it “in light of yesterday’s needs?” Was it the law, or was it rationalization? There are certain intrinsic principles that never change. How can we be so dumb!
In America, many people believe they have the ability to cope without government help. Many believe they could not exist without government help, mostly black people, but a growing number of white people also believe they could not exist without government help. It is unbelievable. Many people believe that black people, because of the way they were treated, should be preferred in the law. Is it the luck of the Irish that those who believe they have the ability to cope without government help are the prosperous? How could we be so dumb!
Many people think they have the ability to cope without a religion. Many believe without their religion they could not cope. The Muslims who destroyed the World Trade Center, and killed thousands of innocent people, believed they were ordered by Allah, as the World Trade Center was a symbol of the “Great Satin.” Millions of Muslims danced in the streets. This is a fact of history that cannot be denied, no matter how it is rationalized. Is it racial profiling to think the way I think? Give me a break!
We, the people, are created with reason and logic. It is neither reasonable nor logical to believe all men, whether they are black or white, are not all equal; it’s a rationalization. It is neither reasonable nor logical to believe that God favors one religion over another; it’s a rationalization. Reasonably and logically, God does not destroy his own creation.
Our Creator gave human beings the ability to cope, not by the law of the jungle, but by the higher law of nature, the background of my Constitution. My Constitution was written for you and I, not for the powers that be—and used, not put in a glass case in Washington, D.C. Not many know how to use it. Indeed, the powers that be discourage the individual, in every conceivable way, not to use it. They encourage the individual, in every conceivable way, to depend on government.
The Founding Fathers knew this would be the case. They divided the powers of government and give the individual the Bill of Rights. If you don’t use this protection, what do you expect? I studied my Constitution and came to the conclusion that I should use it. I had a bigger than life calling. It turned my life around. All of my dreams came true.
All sentient beings, including man, are created with the power drive. The higher law of nature gives man the power to control any situation. The God I know gave me the “regenerative agency by which may make himself what he wills.” James Allen, As A Man Thinketh. I studied my Constitution, looked within, and came up with the right answers for me. Who knows me better than I know myself? I’ve been reborn the person I was meant to be.
Having said this, I read in Time-Life’s Mysic Places that at Stonehenge, 80 miles west of London, from the roof of his car in the parking lot, a young investigator with a wire antenna bent in the shape of a “awkh” (an Egyptian cross with a loop at the top) pointed it at the great stones. A bolt surged up his arm, hurling him to the ground unconscious. When he came to, his arm was paralyzed. It took six months to get the full use of his arm back. He tempted fate.
The ever-curious Werner von Siemens, founder of the giant German electrical company that bears that name, climbed to the top of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Having reached the top, he struck a pose, jabbing his finger upward. He experienced a prickling feeling in his finger and heard a sharp sound. Knowing a lot about electricity, Siemens wrapped a wet paper towel around a metal-necked wine bottle, his way of storing static electricity. When he held the bottle up, it became electrically charged and emitted sparks.
A French ironmonger, Antoine Bovis, toured the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid. He came upon several dead cats and other small animals. The bodies had no odor. Bovis found that they had dehydrated and mummified despite the chamber’s humidity.
Back home in Nice, Bovis constructed a wooden model of the Great Pyramid, oriented it due north, same as the Great Pyramid, and placed a dead cat inside. In a few days the body mummified. The forces of the Great Pyramid continued to multiply. It came to be thought that this was the essence of life forces itself. But, alas, scientific research found none of the claims to be true.
What was true for the above mentioned was not proven, and the same for my experience in the Bermuda Triangle. It is thought, but not proven, that there are time warps in the Triangle. In Mystic Places, I read that Bruce Germon, Jr., with his father the co-pilot of his Beechcraft Bonanza, had taken off from Andros Island in the Bahamas, bound for Palm Beach, Florida.
Germon accelerating to avoid a thick cloud, remembers that it seemed to rise to meet him and then enveloped him. He spotted a tunnel through the cloud. He dived down, hoping to exit into clear sky. The walls of the tunnel were growing white with small white clouds rotating clockwise around the tunnel. The plane seemed to pick up speed. For several seconds Germon and his father experienced weightlessness. Then the plane exited the tunnel and entered a greenish white haze. Trying to fix his position, Germon was startled to see his compass rotating counterclockwise. His navigation equipment was non-functional and he could not make contact with radar control.
Through the haze, he spotted an island which he thought to be Bimini. Minutes later, Germon recognized it as Miami Beach. Little more than half the expected flight time had elapsed.
I set sail from Nassau with three friends on my sloop Bold Venture, heading for Palm Beach. After we left the Bahamas Banks, I set my course southwest to allow for the north moving Gulf Stream, with the wind from southeast. At 2:00 A.M. we encountered tropical storm Dottie (1976) moving north up the Florida coast. I changed my course to North, as the wind was coming at me from the Northwest. My estimated time of arrival had been 10:00 A.M. Shortly after daybreak, as we rolled over a huge wave, I spotted the smokestacks of Florida Power and Light, a mile south of our inlet. It was impossible. I had been sailing north on the north moving Gulf Stream. We arrived at my estimated time of arrival, horrified that seas were breaking completely across Lake Worth Inlet. I was exhausted and my friends were in no shape to take the wheel. I went for it. My stern went up. Seas were breaking on both sides. The one behind never broke. We slid down it into the Inlet. My friends called it a miracle. My time warp experience was not published. It doesn’t matter. There is no way to prove it happened. There is no way to prove that after my bigger than life calling my life changed for the better.
America is currently in deep trouble, naturally, because We, The People, let the authorities have their way. God said, Let us make man in our image, and so says my Constitution. We’ve a long way to go and a short time to get there.
