The secret, Fred, is realizing that death has no sting–that it is just another part of life that is a lesson for the spirit–do not be afraid of life or the lessons it may teach–even death
Be grateful, humble, and courageous in the face of illusions that would tell you to cower and hate
When I experienced my brief interlude with death–I was greeted with a saturating feeling of peace–I suspect that feeling is there for the little kid, too–and even you, Fred–then you will realize the vanity of your d-scontent and the sad quality of the joke that you created
The Big Lie
The illusion takes many forms,
it tempts us
to be what we aren’t.
We worship for release
as it holds us
within its withered grasp,
squeezing our dreams.
We wait,
blindly thinking
the clenching of the fist is certain.
Our perceptions create a reaper,
so grim.
When we pass through the curtain,
we laugh when we see the truth.

I like tao, peace is a joke, the ideals of the being is the ideals of the gods. best that one Tao. or how about this one, “out of the night” that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul, may be, i do love it so, ask what the little kid was thinking when hitler or bill clinton or bush one or bush two order his death, the little kid was handing his mothers hand, get my point boys?

Seek security in the space between your heartbeats–that contains the peace this world can’t offer

how many times is bush telling you that social security is out the door? don’t people understand what bush is telling you guys, bush will use the mexican to taken down the system to a third world life, its not what you think, big business needs mass enslavement and bush will call it freedom, see the book 1984 the movie is also great.

dave wheeler is right on all his points, to bad most people don’t understand and what will become of a nation of fools, buy land outside big
population areas if you can for your kids, buy guns, make friends with people who can still see what is happening, sad to say many can’t do that.
