Television is hypnotic, using flickering images to impress its suggestions. Schools demand conformity. Police demand unquestioning obedience. Churches demand conformity. The Law get more and more detailed, more and more complex. And media MERELY massage and rehearse prevailing dogma and group-think, centered around, "Ain't it AWFUL!" But, There is no one
courageous enough to taking the initiatives needed to put the Administration in jail, where they belong. There is no intimation or message--anywhere--to the effect that people
are expected to know how to think about Justice, Honor, Dominion and Sovereignty for themselves.

...backing off from the Consumerism model towards Life rich with skills, gifts and arts because its people accept the tough discipline of "needlessness."
...My hope is to lead the way, OUT of Hell.
...Many of us have experienced monetary double-binds from which we cannot get loose, get free.
...If you remember Chinese finger puzzles, the harder you work at getting loose, the harder it is and the more firmly in its grip, your fingers are held.
...Economics are LIKE THAT. The harder you work and the more money you make, the more money you need.
...If we're going to get out of hell, we're going to have to BACK OUT, by not needing anything much.
...As it was well spoken, "The Rich are not the persons who HAVE the most. Rather, they are the persons who NEED THE LEAST."
...Intentional communities have always had the problem of buying up large tracts of land, and then having to pay taxes on all that land. Maybe that's not necessary.
...Intentional communities have always tried very creative and individualistic forms of sustainable construction; but, they use artistic license and give away all the economies of scale that modular building creates.
...Intentional communities have always presumed, either to create a single business or organization of their own, or to depend on the money economy to keep them afloat. Maybe
there's a third way, not tried. I know there is.
...Fact is, the Kingdom of God is untried, in Hell. Neither is the New Jerusalem in Hell.
...So, if we want to participate in those paradigms, we're going to have to start from scratch, to do it.
...Luck has it, there is a small portion of land on which I shall build the prototype of a survival-sufficient, invisible, tactile economy that no one will bother and no one will tap. ["Can you get blood out of a turnip?"]
...Anybody wanting to investigate freedom from the standpoint of "needlessness," give me a holler. I may have a space or two left.

WHO are "the Elect" of God, anyway, the "Fundy" President? Is HE part of God's "Elect"?
...Yehoshua [Jesus] said: "By their fruits shall ye known them."
...New English Bible, II Cor. 8:10-15, Paul of Tarsus wrote: "For you know how generous our Lord Jesus Christ has been: he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich. Here is my considered opinion on the matter. What I ask you to do is in your own interests. You made a good beginning last year both in the work you did and in your willingness to undertake it. Now I want you to go on and finish it: be as eager to complete the scheme as you were to adopt it, and give according to your means. Provided there is an eager desire to give, God accepts what a man has; he does not ask for what he has not. There is no question of relieving others at the cost of hardship to yourselves; it is a question of equality. At the moment your surplus meets their need, but one day your need may be met from their surplus. The aim is equality; as
Scripture has it, ´The man who got much had no more than enough, and the man who got little did not go short.´"
THIS, then, is what defines the person who is participating in the Kingdom of God, THE WILLINGNESS OF INDIVIDUALS TO SACRIFICE OF THEMSELVES, TO AND FOR EACH OTHER.
Anybody doing anything ELSE, anything LESS, is NOT fulfilling the Master´s Covenants. They are Christian in words, but not in deeds; nor are they following the example that Jesus set--of sacrifice on behalf of the Body.
I guess that pretty much settles, what our current leaders ARE, doesn´t it? They are profiteering off the war they created. That is not "the Christian way," NO MATTER WHAT PIOUS WORDS THEY HAPPEN TO SPEAK when in the company of Christians.
The Administration is unmasked, in a moment, for what it is--wolves in sheeps´ clothing.
I wonder if we Americans can breathe enough oxygen, to breathe some life into saving ourselves.

...Is the Bible right on, or is it a thousand years behind the times?
...Is the Rapture coming, or did it occur a thousand years ago?
...Is the New Jerusalem still in the formative stages, or is that Level/dimension of experience operating simultaneously with Heaven and Hell now?
...How can and do physicists describe reality, in three sets of compacting particles, yet they have no sense of Reality as three levels of awareness--Hell, Physical and Heaven?
...Where are we?
...Events are rolling over us; and it's not a simple matter to predict whether they will move this way, over us, or that way, and move us onward.
...Peace is an effect. It's an effect that does not appear to exist at the level we are, and about which we are speaking.
...What appears to be the primary and predominant sense of this place is actually "Torment."
...Who do YOU KNOW, who is NOT TORMENTED by "what might have been"?
...I don't know ANYBODY.
...Now, think about this long and hard.
...Peace is the sum/total of works plus dreams. What we cannot accomplish in TIME, we must accomplish IN and BY reflection, in the Subjective while we sleep.
...There is no short-cutting the process to creating peace.
...If peace does not exist HERE, than the HERE we have accepted is not the Kingdom of God because THAT is NOT HERE.
...You can't just GO DO THAT, as if you were baking bread according to a recipe.
...You can't COMMAND the cooperation of others; nor the love; nor the respect.
...In fact, my experience says, you can't even command a hearing ear AROUND HERE.
...I am working on the issue of, "WHO is the chosen of God today?" AND "Where are we? Are we actually IN the Physical Kingdom of God [among us], or are we somewhere ELSE?
...Why is the nation of Israel in torment? WHY are the Jewish people today under accusation? Why are the Christian people today, also under accusation? What does THAT say about God and His physical earthly Covenants?
...I contend, God's Covenants are not operating HERE. So, where is HERE?
...God Yahweh was very clear that He has a people. Okay, I'm dealing with figuring OUT who that is.
...I'll let you know, when I get to a place that makes sense in view of what we are seeing with our eyes.

...People who are deceptive, are unaware of consequences they are creating.
...Those who need to make an impression, are unaware of their soul's path or their real selves.
...Accusations fill the mouths of those who simply lack clarity about causes and effects.
...Obfuscating is a defense against incoherence, a strategy for waving away uncomfortable situations.
...Whenever someone has no standing or remains silent, his adversary will take up his time in shame and abuse, to build an ego where there is no wisdom or understanding.
...Blasphemy, people think, will get God's attention.
...Yet, it is cruel to merely conquer blasphemers.
...They haven't acquired Wisdom, that's all.
...No one can reckon what's Right from what's broken; and there's no getting directions from one who is inappropriate.
...He can't deal yet, with what he is still unaware of.
...What is truly not appropriate is what is unsafe.
...But if something or someone is broken, that or they are merely insufficient and lacking spirit-derived direction.
...Framing a judgment about real effects is the ONLY intelligent parsing there is: opinions don't count, polls don't count, preferences don't count. Even beliefs don't count.
...No judge can relate to what he has never investigated.
...And so, the egos among us will never reckon Truth; it is only those who have experience and knowledge who can do so.
...There's no point in merely draining people, by forcing judgments on them; forcing dogma on them; forcing rules on them.
...And there's no LOVE in keeping people weak and dependent.
...Wasting lives in Hell, Confusion and Oblivion is not living by the Truth either.
...We must cease detaching ourselves from the effects of processes, procedures, regulations and laws, and from the shame those create.
...More suffering only breaks everything.
