the flag has been fully falsified ...

hmmm... some things about this story just don't add up ... infowars.com : "Authorities originally said they had exchanged gunfire with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for more than one hour Friday evening before they were able to subdue him. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation, say investigators recovered a 9 mm handgun believed to have been used by Tsarnaev’s brother, Tamerlan, from the site of a gun battle Thursday night, which injured a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer. Dzhokhar was believed to have been shot before he escaped. The officials tell The Associated Press that no gun was found in the boat. Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said earlier that shots were fired from inside the boat." read more here ... peAce... topbop!

Tame the body ...

The human being is made up of several coincident spiritual components with one somewhat significant addition.  Within ourselves we are a triumvirate of the conscious, sub-conscious and, super-conscience spirit entities.  In addition, we have during our short lifetimes here on earth, a physical *self*.  

Are our physical selves... our bodies, in reality, a uniquely enhanced animal?

What do you think?  

The physical body is an animal, albeit one unique and specialized.... adapted to support a bi-directional and extraordinarily rich interface with the spiritual triumvirate.

So here is my attempt to share with you, dear reader, what came to me this morning ...

Realize yourself first in your spirit selves and come to know what and who you truly are. Next to begin to fully hydrate and enliven your life, come to know that the inherent purity and brilliance of the pure spirit, through its spirit nature, is capable of remarkable manifestations in your own life, indeed direct realization of your most heartfelt dreams and more.  Much of what is required of you on the path to full manifestation of your human potential is an unwavering focus on nurturing the balanced, healthy and harmonious interplay of the three spirit entities that comprise your spiritual self.  With that degree of humanness comfortably established, pursue a laser sharp intense focus of your innermost attention lovingly towards your super-conscious, and heed its every thought-message.  The challenge then is getting the physical self to effectively and efficiently at least, stay out of your way and allow your spirit self to manifest the modification of your situation to congruence with your vision of what needs to be, that is, your dreams ... then complete the launch of your fully instantiated human self by actually leveraging your physical self as an eager and willing collaborator in your human being.  

I am suggesting, therefore,  that we refer to the response to this challenge as, "Taming your body...  your physical self .... "  akin to the animal training that is part and parcel of one on man's most common inter-species proclivities, the domesticated personal pet ... 

... any comments?  I expect I will revisit this in more depth in future posts ....

Butter not Guns

Stop the Permanent Militarization of America - Butter not Guns
Now is the time for real #CHANGE @BarackObama #nwo

Dear reader, I feel compelled to issue this call to attention to our newly re-elected POTUS, Barack Obama, the esteemed members of both houses of congress, and the American people.  Today as the nation's election event is suitably celebrated or dissed, don't fall for the hyperbole. The reality of the "democratic" process is the electorate is merely treated to a spectacular show starring the candidates, the special interest groups, the PACs, the Political Parties and anyone else who can fund a media buy.  Of course, in this ever more digital age, it's all augmented, albeit at a significantly lower volume by myriad bloggers and other social media practitioners across the free space of the cyberweb.  Once in office, the "elected representative" takes his or her place in the government machinery, allegedly to attend to the needs of our common good as their values and beholdennesses dictate.  In fact they attend to another agenda entirely against the backdrop of which all that "common good" activity pales in comparison.  The reality of our governing system is that the military-industrial-congressional complex has, as Ike forewarned, become an apparently unstoppable juggernaut that shifts the frame of reference and thereby the entire net outcomes of our cities, states, countries, continents and worlds efforts toward what should be the natural pure purpose of a government - securing the common good.  The spiritual and cultural consequences, and their impact on our human attitudes towards one another and our planet, are by far most worrisome.

We created Al Qaeda Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton says: "We created Al Qaeda" ...

Hillary Clinton is frank about how the United States of America created and armed Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. Ultimately Al-Qaeda turned on their American patrons. Do we see a replay of this in Syria today, with the America supporting the Al-Qaeda linked loose coalition of militias and factions known as the 'Free Syrian Army'?

Al-Qaeda means "The Base" in Arabic, and is thought to refer to the CIA base (list) of mujahideen in Afghanistan that were being supported at the time. Osama Bin Laden was a Saudi national born to a wealthy businessman with close ties to the Saudi royalty. His mother was Syrian. He grew apart from the Saudi royal family due to Saudi facilitation of USA during the Gulf war. A great number of the 911 conspirators were Saudi.

What do you think?  Is any of this fact based?  Or not so much?

But it sure provides a different perspective on the notion of "terrorism" and "terrorist", don't you agree?

The Race of Men

By Robert Dodson

Somewhere in the depths of his being,

Somehow feeling a stirring in one of those nether regions of consciousness

 We all know are there but

Somewhen can’t quite perceive clearly…

  Somewhat almost like a TV show we vaguely remember

 Was on in the other room when we came in here

 For what … Just can’t quite catch the tail of that thought

… Just can’t quite catch the tail of that thought

Don’t be distraught!

The show’s got a plot

Goes something like this

The storyline tastes so good

Thinking it feels like a brain kiss.

The characters are contestants on a game show

 Of literally galactic proportions

In the show these individuals

Meet in competition

To demonstrate their capabilities

In skillful manipulation

Of a set of remote virtual reality robotic space suits,

The contestants would engage and live through them virtual reality style, actually “possessing” them in a way from the perspective of the planets other inhabitants

 In reality these were remote bodies they could direct on a distant planet they had cultivated for the purpose of engaging in this particular pastime.

They called this planet “Earth”.

water, and the reality of life on this planet

http://liveearth.org/save/water

If the policymakers of all the nations of the world would unite around just one theme - water - and each man women and child focused on this aspect of the reality of life on this planet, all the most significant problems faced by mankind would fade away ...

Water, is taught by thirst
by Emily Dickinson

Water, is taught by thirst.
Land—by the Oceans passed.
Transport—by throe—
Peace—by its battles told—
Love, by Memorial Mold—
Birds, by the Snow.

ill-gotten blues
©2011 Robert Dodson

Wisdom is just another word for
knowing what to choose.
Knowing what isn't yours to lose
Can save you a case of ill-gotten blues.

Some want be used by you
Understepping their bounds in all they do
Others will sooner trample your face
as do anything for another of the human race?

As you strive to see who to be
seek the selfless self of he who is one as three.
As you strive to see how to be
seek the way of he who is one as three.
As you strive to see why to be
seek the cause of he who is one as three.

A clear case of mistaken mis-identification
the bellows of war round the notion of nation...
One who would be the decider, provider and yes-we-can-er...
revealed themselves as just another in the long line of liars.

I wanna know the men in the shadows and
I need to see them for who they are...
as our planet rushes headlong through changes (don't you feel it?)
the scale and scope so far beyond all we thought far beyond before.

As you strive to see where to be
seek the place of he who is one as three.
As you strive to see when to be
seek the hour of he who is one as three.
As you strive to see who to be
seek within you that which IS him who is one as three.

Wisdom is just another word for
knowing what to choose.
Knowing what isn't yours to lose
Can save you...  save you a case of ill-gotten blues.

Today I am renewed

Today I am renewed
my sorrow subdued
in all the right moods
today I am renewed

My feelings don't hurt
Smiling a good light...
I learn night and daily
my real worth on this earth

All the leaves fall down
in their time and day
love each and let them go
as you go along your way

Rejoice in the wonder of the marvelous -
seen
and Unseen.

Leap with light
and walk with the precision of wild abandon
for tonight the night.

Right in front of your eyes
is the reason of ye reasonable good people
know ye what ye hear here
this mouth is animated
from the beyond
to your very ear.
