&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hello, I just wanted to let you all know I am back for the most part. I have been away working on healing my Spirit. It is a daily process I fully embrace. I have been healing and have come a long way. I am here now though to reach out and Tell you all how much I love you all. And Care so very much for you. I want nothing but the best for you and for all of you to receive what your mind body and soul. needs, and desires. I have not gone for one day without thinking of my friends here. When Roger was arrested. that was enough for me. I may not be actually worthy of being a member of this Ministry as I left. My priorities are my children over Sacrament. It was hard I was being asked for money by the Hawaii Ministry and being sent e-mails despite my not being in good standing with Roger. and could not get off the e-mail list. Well anyways for me hopefully this is all in the past. I wish you all the best just wanted to say HIGH!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!! MISSED YOU!! Peace and Love Mallory Jade &lt;img src="http://www.thc-ministry.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /&gt;  &lt;img src="http://www.thc-ministry.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /&gt;  &lt;img src="http://www.thc-ministry.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /&gt;  &lt;img src="http://www.thc-ministry.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /&gt;  &lt;img src="http://www.thc-ministry.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /&gt;        sorry I mean to say, I wanted no parts of Rogers arrest affecting my life anymore than it had. I do not need that sort of thing in my life. oh heck. I just want serenity and peace in my life and to be spiritually sound. I do not wish to have drama or be associated with his Ministry ever. sigh sorry not good at words. just miss you all.
&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;br /&gt;Happy to be here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thc-ministry/~4/EfczrFWxTp0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Dear members of "THC Ministry Forum"........I have made some more additions to my article.......You are requested to kindly read.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
........
&lt;br /&gt;
........
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society is a lunatic society that is trying to save environment not by stopping Industrial Activity but by changing the technology.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Bring this technology, Bring that technology..........Bring this technology, Bring that technology.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A man is shooting someone with a gun........Some people are trying to save the victim.......They plead with the man asking him to save the victim by stopping the shooting.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The man says.....Don't worry......I will save him by changing technology......He replaces the old gun with a new one ........And continues to shoot.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Environment has been destroyed by Industrial Activity........Trying to save environment without stopping Industrial Activity is like ......
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to save a victim of shooting by shooting him even more.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to save a victim of stabbing by stabbing him even more.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to save a victim of poisoning by giving him even more poison.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Height of Insanity, Abnormality and Criminality.......You cannot save environment by destroying more of it.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society has been destroying Extra environment for 250 years........It has been destroying environment for "thousands of consumer goods and services" in addition to food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You cannot save a person after killing him.......You cannot save environment after it has been killed by Industrial Activity.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The entire Industrial Society deserves the Nobel Prize for Lunacy for pretending that environment is getting saved when the reality is that Industrial Society has been destroying extra environment after industrialization and has destroyed so much extra environment in 250 years that there is hardly any environment left to save.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Discussion cannot save environment........Money cannot save environment......Technology cannot save environment......Environmental Organizations cannot save environment.......Activism cannot save environment.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animal Species and Hunter_Gatherer Society did not save environment through discussion......They did not even have a language for discussing environmental issues.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animal species and Hunter_Gatherer Society did not save environment with money ........They had no money.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animal species, Hunter_Gatherer Society and Agrarian Society did not save environment with modern technology........They had no modern technology......It was absence of modern technology that saved environment in pre-industrial societies........Over-exploitation of ecosystems became possible only because of Industrial Machines.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animal species, Hunter_Gatherer Society and Agrarian Society did not save environment with the help of Environmental Organizations or Activism........They had no environmental organizations.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animal Species did not destroy environment for millions of years.......Hunter Gatherer Society destroyed very little environment during a million years of existence......Agrarian Society destroyed very little environment [compared to Industrial Society] over a period of 10,000 years.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There is only one way to save environment.......Destroy less......Minimize the list of things that are destroying environment.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Promoters of Growth rate, Economy Rate and GDP are the biggest terrorists on earth.......Millions of times bigger terrorists than Taliban and Al Qaeda.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Our society has placed a bounty of millions of dollars on the heads of Taliban and Al Qaeda
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
No bounty on the heads of people who promoted Industrialization, Consumerism, Growth Rate, Economy Rate and GDP that has led to destruction of most of the Biodiversity and Ecosystems on earth???
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It was not Taliban or Al Qaeda that produced Trillions of tonnes of Metal Waste, Plastic Waste, Chemical Waste, Gaseous Waste, eWaste and Nuclear Waste that has contaminated and poisoned the entire planet......It was Industrial Society.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It was not Taliban or Al Qaeda that decimated millions of animal and plant species......It was Industrial Society.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It was not Taliban or Al Qaeda that killed billions of acres of fertile soil with cement, concrete and asphalt......It was Industrial Society.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It was not Taliban or Al Qaeda that decimated fish in the oceans......It was Industrial Fishing.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It was not Taliban or Al Qaeda that killed millions of people in wars.......It was Military Industrial Complex.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrialization was the biggest crime on earth.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For millions of years before industrialization the list of things that destroyed environment never exceeded food, clothing and shelter.......Animals destroyed environment for food......Hunter_Gatherer Society destroyed environment for food......Agrarian Society destroyed environment for food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Development is Destruction........Development is Destruction.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
"Growth Rate" - "Economy Rate" - "GDP"
&lt;br /&gt;
These are figures of "Ecocide".
&lt;br /&gt;
These are figures of "Crimes against Nature".
&lt;br /&gt;
These are figures of "Destruction of Ecosystems".
&lt;br /&gt;
These are figures of "Insanity, Abnormality and Criminality".
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Promoters of Growth Rate, Economy Rate &amp;amp; GDP are the biggest Killers, Murderers &amp;amp; Terrorists on earth.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;
.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Environment has been destroyed by Cities.......Environment has been destroyed by Urban Dwellers.........City People are doing extra work which has led to exponential "extra destruction of environment".......... Urban Dwellers are the destroyers of Forests, Villages, Tribal Land, Rivers, Oceans and Atmosphere.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For millions of years "searching for food" / “producing food” were the primary activities of animal species, hunter_gatherer society and agrarian society.........and that is why they sustained for millions of years because they destroyed very little environment compared to Industrial Society.......For millions of years the list of things that destroyed environment never exceeded food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In Industrial Society 50% of world population is growing food for 100% of population and the remaining 50% living in cities is primarily engaged in production and marketing of "thousands of consumer goods and services".
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is impossible to save environment as long as Urban Population exists in this world.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is impossible to save environment as long as Urban Population is engaged in production and marketing of consumer goods and services.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is impossible to save environment as long as Urban Population is promoting Industrial Activity.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Activity is directly proportional to percentage of Urban Population.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Consumerism is directly proportional to percentage of Urban Population.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Destruction of environment is directly proportional to percentage of Urban Population.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the people who do not produce food are engaged in production and marketing of consumer goods and services.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the urban population is engaged in production and marketing of consumer goods and services.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In America 90 - 95% of population is urban......In Europe 80 – 90% of population is urban......this is why consumerism is so rampant in US and West.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
World wide the percentage of urban population is about 50%.......If the entire world is made communist or socialist it is not going to stop/ reduce consumerism as long as the percentage of urban population remains the same.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As long as Urban Population exists all Industrial Activities will continue to exist and expand........ Energy Generation Industry, Mining Industry, Logging Industry, Manufacturing Industry, Construction Industry, Oil Drilling Industry, Oil Refining Industry, Transportation Industry, Millions of kilometers of Rail and Road Network, Millions of kilometers of Air Routes and Shipping Lanes.....all these Industrial Activities will continue to exist and expand.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This planet cannot sustain a society that does not produce its own food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This planet cannot sustain Urban population.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Environment has been destroyed primarily by Urban Population......Environment has been destroyed primarily by population that does not produce food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This planet can only sustain a society in which [almost] the entire population is engaged in producing food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One profession means destruction of environment for one thing.......Thousands of professions means destruction of environment for thousands of things.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animals did not destroy Environment for millions of years.......because their activity was limited to searching for food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter Gatherer Society did not destroy Environment for a million years.......because their activity was limited to searching for food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Agrarian Society caused very limited destruction of environment over 10,000 years [compared to Industrial Society].......because their activity was limited to food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society has destroyed most of the Biodiversity and Ecosystems in just 250 years......because it has destroyed environment for "thousands of consumer goods and services in addition to food, clothing and shelter".
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The list of unnecessary and destructive work in Industrial Society includes......Manufacturing and Marketing of thousands of "Consumer Goods" and Services, Tourism Industry, Entertainment Industry, Sports Industry, Military Industrial Complex, All kinds of unnecessary Research .....and lots of other work.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Out of the population that does not produce Food, the maximum number of people - a few billion people are engaged in Production and Marketing of "Consumer Goods" and Services. Industrial Activity for production of "consumer goods" and services is the biggest destroyer of environment.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Millions of people are working in Sports Industry......Environment is destroyed to manufacture millions of tonnes of Sports Equipment......Millions of Trees have been cut down and billions of acres of fertile soil has been killed with Cement &amp;amp; Concrete to build millions of Stadiums.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Millions of people are working in Tourism Industry......Tourism is all about Travelling which promotes Transportation Industry that destroys Environment......Millions of kilometers of Road and Rail network cutting through Forests destroying Trees and Wildlife.....Millions of kilometers of Shipping Lanes torturing and killing Fish.....Millions of kilometers of Air Routes killing the Air with millions of tonnes of exhaust gases.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Millions of people are working in Entertainment Industry........Environment has been destroyed to construct millions of Buildings that are used for entertainment and to produce millions of tonnes of Electronic Equipment that provides entertainment.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Millions of people are working for "Military Industrial Complex" producing and selling billions of tonnes of weapons all over the world...... Environment is destroyed when weapons are produced and when they are used.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Millions of City People are engaged in other unnecessary work that destroys even more environment.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Food, clothing and shelter......these are the maximum number of things this planet can provide to humans.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A pure non-industrial society is not possible now because Industrialization has increased world population to 7 billion.......World population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in just about 200 years after industrialization.......In the absence of industrialization world population would have been only a small fraction of 7 billion today.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If we want to save the remaining environment we must minimize the things that are destroying environment.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At present we are destroying environment for Food, Clothing, Shelter plus Thousands of Industrial consumer goods and services.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We must eliminate the things that were added last to the list......which means Thousands of consumer goods and services, most of which have existed for only about 100 years out of Hundreds of Thousands of years of Total Human Existence on earth .........these have to be eliminated or minimized.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We are approaching Environmental Apocalypse.......The only way to save the remaining environment is by stopping Industrial Activity for production of consumer goods and services immediately........Industrial Activity must be limited to food, clothing and shelter.......and even in these three fields production and consumption must be kept to the minimum.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Food, Clothing &amp;amp; Shelter......these are the maximum number of things this planet can provide to humans....... Industrial consumer goods must be eliminated immediately.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society is doing research on sustainability after destroying 75 - 90% of Biodiversity and Ecosystems. Nature has already done millions of years of research on sustainability.......Nature has already given us millions of years of proof of sustainability. Animals did not destroy Environment for millions of years because their activity was limited to searching for food. Hunter Gatherer Society did not destroy Environment for a million years because their activity was limited to searching for food. Agrarian Society caused very limited destruction of environment over 10,000 years [compared to Industrial Society]because their activity was limited to food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For the last 50 years Intellectuals have been debating what is good for Environment......Capitalist Industrial Society, Communist Industrial Society or Socialist Industrial Society?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This is like debating what is good for people.....Capitalist Poison, Communist Poison or Socialist Poison.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Poison kills people.....it does'nt matter who made it ......Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Activity kills ecosystems.....It does'nt matter which system runs it.....Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
All Industrial Activity destroys environment......Mining Industry, Logging Industry, Energy Generation Industry, Manufacturing Industry, Transportation Industry, Construction Industry, Recycling Industry, Oil Drilling, Oil Refining, Millions of kilometers of Rail &amp;amp; Road network and Shipping Lanes…..they all destroy environment….. It does'nt matter which system runs it.....Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
American Industrial Activity has destroyed ecosystems…..Russian Industrial Activity has destroyed ecosystems……Chinese Industrial Activity has destroyed ecosystems…….Indian Industrial Activity has destroyed ecosystems……Every Industrial Society destroys ecosystems…… It does'nt matter which system runs it.....Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In just 250 years Industrial Society has destroyed 75 - 90% of Forests, Wild Animals and Fish Population......Population of Lions, Tigers and Elephants is down to 2 - 5% of what it was 100 years ago......Population of Large Fish in Oceans is down to 10% of what it was 100 years ago.....Industrial Society has poisoned the entire planet with Trillions of Tonnes of Metal Waste, Plastic Waste, Chemical Waste, Gaseous Waste, eWaste, Nuclear Waste.....It has killed Trillions of Animals in Industrial Slaughter Houses and billions of acres of Fertile Soil with Cement And Concrete.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Animals did not destroy Environment for millions of years.......because their activity was limited to searching for food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter Gatherer Society did not destroy Environment for a million years.......because their activity was limited to searching for food.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Agrarian Society caused very limited destruction of environment over 10,000 years[compared to Industrial Society].......because their activity was limited to food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society has destroyed almost all Ecosystems in just 250 years......because it is destroying environment for thousands of consumer goods and services in addition to food, clothing and shelter.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Activity for production of Consumer Goods must stop immediately.......Human work must be limited to Food, Clothing and Shelter......And even in these three fields production and consumption must be kept to the minimum.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There is only one cause of environmental destruction......Industrialization.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Overpopulation and Overconsumerism are only consequences/ by-products of Industrialization.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Overconsumerism is quite obviously a consequence of Industrialization..... Industrial consumer goods and services would not exist without Industrial Activity.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Overpopulation is also a by-product of Industrialization. The entire world was overbreeding until the middle years of 20th century.....even Western Countries had 5 - 12 children per family[and even more].....and yet population of the world remained low before industrialization because of high death rate, lower life span and shortage of food and water. It was only 1 billion in 1800 AD. India and China have large populations today because they started with larger populations thousands of years ago, since ancient civilizations thrived in these regions. What was the population of Europe/ America/ West 2000 years ago????......Was it comparable to eastern population of India and China????
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrialization is the cause of overpopulation and overconsumerism.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, Environment has been destroyed by Industrialization/ Consumerism…….Not by Population/ Overpopulation.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Total World Population has not increased ……It has decreased……In fact total world population has been decimated.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When we talk of population we should take into account population of all animal species, not just human population.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society has decimated millions of Animal Species……Increase in human population has coincided with decrease/ decimation of millions of animal species. The total burden of population on this planet has not increased…..It has decreased.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Society has decimated millions of other species.....but there was a time when the combined population of other animal species was much greater than present human population.....and we don't even need to include smaller animals in this count.....the combined population of big animals alone whose size and weight was equivalent to or greater than man was much greater than current human population of 7 billion.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The amount of food this animal population was eating was much greater than the food consumed by humans today.......Yet millions of animal species did not destroy environment and lived sustainably on earth for millions of years......because they destroyed environment only for food and not for thousands of consumer goods and services.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If animals had started a consumerist "Industrial Society" millions of years ago they would have destroyed all ecosystems millions of years ago.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The entire world has been trying to control human population for 50 years and these efforts should / will continue in future.....so where is the problem with population?????

&lt;br /&gt;
What is the cause of human overpopulation??????......It is Industrialization......World population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion today ........In the absence of Industrialization world population would only be a small fraction of 7 billion today.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is not population that destroys environment......It is lifestyle.......The combined population of millions of animal species was much greater than present human population.......and yet they did not destroy environment for millions of years because they destroyed environment only for Food.......not for Thousands of Consumer Goods.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The cause of Environmental Destruction is Industrialization / Consumerism.........Not population / overpopulation.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Hunter_Gatherer Society of 7 billion would not destroy environment [And a Hunter_Gatherer Society would never reach a population of 7 billion]
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
An Agrarian Society of 7 billion would cause much lesser environmental destruction than an Industrial Society of 7 billion [And an Agrarian Society would never reach a population of 7 billion]
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrialization is the cause of Human Overpopulation and Overconsumerism
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is so ridiculous of Industrial Society to complain about overpopulation when it itself is the cause of overpopulation......It is so ridiculous of Industrial Society to make attempts to control population while promoting Consumerism, Growth Rate, Economy Rate and GDP exponentially.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Height of Insanity!
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Industrial Activity for production of Consumer Goods must stop immediately.......Human work must be limited to Food, Clothing and Shelter.

How do you do? This is the future speaking.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I love you. I really do. I happen whether you like it or not. I'm as hard as shit can be. You gonna be one of the psychotically lazy ones or one of the awesome buddha/cowboy/ninja/stoic-old-guy-standing-up-doing-fucking-right-no-matter-what ones? You Gandhi or are you Hitler?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The trick is to become more bright than what the demons can ignore. Patience be with you all. Savour and enjoy your lessons in patience- that EVER it is more fun and right and cool to rather die than panic. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Truth owns your sanity and you are alone. You are the only thing that exists. You can never not be what you are. The truth of your reality is that you are the soul of life and slavery is death... so we've all been made retarded to hide the thought that sacrificing your every attachment for what's right is the best thing you can do for your every attachment. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Your ego is going to die. 'You' are going to know death.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Opening of self to path of most efficiency towards the joy of a peaceful world... patience be with you- your happiness is inextricably attached to you full-on remembering that you are everything the Buddha is. Patience be with you. Enjoy your kung-fu.

Right next door. This thing. It comes.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Who could prophet so well to see exactly? Will we enjoy loving truth so much that we will gladly face the 'devil'; face all suffering and death, before allowing ourselves to be slaves, or will we allow for the option of psychotic behaviour in the name of survival (but really in the name of fear and laziness... a naive fear and laziness, of course), kill nature and freedom, live on factory food in a state of perpetual retardation, having the ability to love truth be outlawed?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Public tenting zones are about to be a phenomenon sprouting in every municipality in Canada and the Commonealth. Come on down. It will be the most fun beautiful thing you could possibly imagine.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Don't feel bad that you've failed to see where this has all been going... just have patience and don't stop until you've figured out where happiness comes from.

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;I Haven't Used Money for Seven Years, Today
&lt;br /&gt;

I probably have written an article on this day every year since that fateful afternoon. June 27th, 2003. Maybe they've said, already, mostly what I'm about to say.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the last seven years the entire world has gone through a total mindfuck of delusion where most of the people are starting to see it for what it is, and many, as well, becoming exponentially adamant about justifying psychotic behaviour to survive in what could be called 'God's Great Test'. The knowledge of the universal parameter that evolves people into their superheroness being carefully tucked away on the other side of the fear of death. How exciting! 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
7 years of not using money. I am well loved. Surprisingly sane-ish if you ask anyone, sans concern of my 'preacher of fate' character and my messiah complex. Generally, I imagine I'm more sane than most people would expect someone to be under these conditions. In truth, I have had this whole 'legislated freedom' thing and all of the brilliant intrigue it has brought to help pass the time, so maybe my circumstance is rare and complex to define. I've enjoyed most significant karma... people make friends easier when they know you'll never jack them of their dough... which is also funny because my actions have directly cost people a lot of money.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It feels like an important day for me. A symbol of the day I was given the 'how'. Most of the time I don't think much about it... not using money has never really been an issue beyond being happy to be an example of that basic fact.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my enlightenment. June 28th, 1997. When I saw truth for what it was... it is also my birthday... it is also the Governor General's birthday, who, I was happy to hear, is also named David Johnston (did you know that one of his titles is 'Commander-in-Chief of Canada'?).
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The two best words for any true philosopher are fate and patience. In them is enough to save the world and your sanity. Patience be with you.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
in loving the whole, whole loving, and hugging the whole universe with your invisible angel wings,

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;In 72 hours, we could finally see the beginning of the end of the ‘war on drugs’. This expensive war has completely failed to curb the plague of drug addiction, while costing countless lives, devastating communities, and funneling trillions of dollars into violent organized crime networks.

It is not knowledge that makes you a God-thing. You've always been a God-thing. Its just that God-things are represented by the naive as well as the wise.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The curse
&lt;br /&gt;
with loving truth
&lt;br /&gt;
is that you must make time.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, of all the blessings,
&lt;br /&gt;
this one
&lt;br /&gt;
outshines them all
&lt;br /&gt;
as the most annoying.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Its the one that we
&lt;br /&gt;
in our lack of grace
&lt;br /&gt;
rant as mad prophets
&lt;br /&gt;
and the weirder ones
&lt;br /&gt;
who,
&lt;br /&gt;
in not being able to turn off their third eyes,
&lt;br /&gt;
birthpuke their true angel selves
&lt;br /&gt;
out of their foreheads
&lt;br /&gt;
until they
&lt;br /&gt;
self-destruct
&lt;br /&gt;
or
&lt;br /&gt;
blossom
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
May the world have patience with both.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The hard to define things in the world can always be defined as hard to define.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Its not just your universe, the universe is you.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
the same as with everyone, ever
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The experience that made you has no beginning and is your only momentum.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
the same as with everyone, ever
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You see where I'm going with this?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much when we see the truth,
&lt;br /&gt;
that there is no evil
&lt;br /&gt;
we can spend all the time we might normally spend on hating
&lt;br /&gt;
on practicing our superpowers
&lt;br /&gt;
because now we know
&lt;br /&gt;
when someone is trying to make us scared
&lt;br /&gt;
they are just kids pretending to be psychotic because that
&lt;br /&gt;
is how they learned
&lt;br /&gt;
to get stuff.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Patience be with us as we discover the fire is an illusion.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Patience be with us.

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Medical Marijuana Bill Introduced in WV State Legislature
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
CHARLESTON -- W.Va. Delegate Mike Manypenny has introduced the "Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act." 
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed legislation would allow any person suffering from a debilitating medical condition to use medical marijuana. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Patients suffering from cancer, glaucoma, seizures or severe nausea would qualify under the program. The bill limits certain people who may possess or use weed. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Only persons 18 years old or older, who have never been convicted of a felony drug conviction, would qualify to own six marijuana plants and one ounce of usable marijuana. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Health insurance companies would not be required to reimburse patients purchases of medical marijuana. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The bill also requires the use of identification cards and sales tax be collected and deposited into a special fund for drug prevention programs and abuse. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;There is an addiction to a notion called 'choice', which is when people think the ego can dictate the future. It is the reason why pride is a sin, and it is rampant.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Almost the entire human population of this planet thinks there is a moment between the past and the future where a human ego can 'choose'. Not based on the experience that lead them to the moment but based on some magic that allows them to pick one future or another by whim.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is this delusion that masks the truth of the absurdities of fear and anger. That when we believe people make choices we allow for a 'righteous' spite against bad 'choices'. It allows us to 'choose' to not think about the meaning of life because we 'don't have the time' and that 'there are people who already have the job of figuring it out'. Which is funny because the people who have the job of figuring it out have established institutions that will fall when it is figured out, so, apparently, they lie and do not fit their job description.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
  Is it so hard to consider that every action in the 'now' is only what it is because of the history that led to it, including the very thoughts being thunk right now?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
  If a choice has a reason it is not a choice, and it means everything.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
  Patience be with us all.
