GREAT SPIRIT!

It’s Friday once again and I find myself in a reflective mood and not quite ready to start working.  I self-published a book in 1993 called “Great Spirit…The Comforter.” The book was written for my daughter and son to explain to them the evolution of their father from the cotton fields of Bakersfield to the Halls of Justice.

 I taught them some of the things I had learned about the ancient sciences of astrology, numerology, and Chinese astrology. At the young age of nineteen my interest was caught in the fascination of how human’s interpreted the universe prior to the religious hegemony.  

I was always working at two or three jobs while they were growing up so I had limited time to spend with them. Later, as a single parent, watching over two children, working, my role as a loving parent became even more precarious. Well, that’s all behind us and the two adults in my life are truly a blessing and I am grateful that my heart would not allow me to give up them nor give up on myself.

Writing the book in 1993 was great therapy for me and something that will be a lasting memorial to my time spent on this earth.  I never gave much reflection on the title of the book because the title came to me one morning while I was taking a shower.

Several years later I was visiting friends in Los Angeles. We went out to dinner at a small oriental restaurant. While walking down the sidewalk to the restaurant I notice inside of the window a Jewish bookstore, a book was opened to a page with an article discussing the coming of Great Spirit the Comforter. I grabbed my friends show them the book and explained my concern about how this Great Spirit name ended up as the title for my first book.

After further research I discovered that in the Jewish religion there is always a Messiah who comes to each generation of humans, about every two thousand years, to save them from the struggles of life. Though some claimed that Rabbi Jesus was the Messiah of the Age of Pisces, the water age, most reject that conclusion.  An Age last about 2150 years is governed by the movement of constellations and the movement of the sun.

The next Age, the Age of Aquarius, air age, is scheduled to start in about 140 years. I can remember the students of the 60’s generation singing about the dawning of Aquarius in high school and college. I didn’t have a clue concerning the significances of this so called coming of the Age of enlightenment.  I was in the military during that time and my mind was focused on being a good Marine.

Well, after many years of using my mind to help others with legal problems and teaching many students about the legality of our system the recent economic slowdown has given me more time for reflection and to start listening to my heart.

 I have come to recognize that the Great Spirit has been with me all my life. I often wondered why Native American refers to the Creator of the Universe as the “Great Spirit” and now I know.  I am grateful and pleased that the Comforter is coming and that I already abide in its spirit.  We are all little spirits embodied in the Great Spirit. The Age of Aquarius will have the Comforter as its savior.

This probably makes little sense to most of you but it’s Ok. 

Peace.

USURY!!!

Usury: the act or practice of lending money with interest.

For centuries usury was consider to be immoral and contrary to God’s law. However, the ancient merchants were oppose to this law and decided to disobey it and permitted the great snake of evil to cause perversion in the land. The money changers headed down the road of corruption and devastation of financial slavery and imposed it on the mathematically illiterate people. The would only charge those not a part their cartel and as far as loans made to each other there was no interest charge and if the debt was not paid in seven years it was forgiven.

The word, usury, is found in the Bible and the act or practice is objected to as an abomination. Why? In ancient times the practice of placing a use upon a use was evil and illegal. To lend money is a use, allowing others to use your money. When interest is charged, it’s another use on top of the original use. A use upon a use was deemed evil because the lending party is getting more money that it had lent and did not have to expend anymore of their own money. It was all gravy and it flowed like milk and honey and it’s still flowing today.

Over the centuries the money changers have convinced the people that interest rates are fair for them so that they are able to buy something they wanted credit leading to a higher standard of living. However, the great snake of evil always lurked in the shadows. Interest rates could be raised or lower at will if the lender felt the consumer was not paying on time. Other fees were added to punish for being late or causing any extra work for the lender. The credit card became the instrument of instant wealth but also devastation for the wage earner.

Today, the lending institutions have gain control and access over our government and the laws have been put in place that completely legalizes usury if you are a part of the financial cartel. As the ancients said, the act or practice is immoral. The job of convincing the people that usury in not immoral but is perfectly innocent has been extremely effective and devastating at the same time.

The American consumer is a victim of this system and at beginning of all the uncontrollable economic depressions ( if you lost your job) or a recession, if you only loss a little equity in your retirement fund, the affect of the great snake was being felt by most. But for those who live on interest income or mortgage property with high interest rates (adjustable loans) or equity loans, inherited money, the struggle was to get the interest rates stabilized and back on track. The government was quick to make that happen through with bailouts!

The owners of America strive on interest income, control and ownership of our scarce resources. Their only real threat is inflation. If inflation goes up the value of interest income comes down and the wealth holders could be devastated. So Job one for our regulators is keep interest income high and fights inflation like it’s a plague. By the way full employment causes inflation and through they talk about creating jobs there is really no serious urgency to do that. The American wage earners major concerns are having a job and not having to pay high interests rates on consumer goods along with higher prices, but they don’t realize that they don’t have a dog in the fight to control our economy that protects the wealthy.

Usury is not only immoral it’s evil! The Americans who have been hurt by usury over the years don’t have a clue who or what the enemy is so they are left fighting with each other and suffering through the devastation of their homes and loss of their families members with one tragic event after another. Climate change is not helping and they have no one to fight or blame, at least, that’s what they have been taught. Ignorance is evil and the uninformed are paying a high emotional and mental price, no peace of mind.

Peace.

DOULBE TALK AND HOOKWINKS!

It’s Moonday once again! I am at peace but I find that most of my fellow citizens are still trapped in the misery of double talk and hoodwinks. The ingrained duplicity that flow from negative to positive, hot to cold, up then down, right then left and black then white. The cruelest part of human nature is exploited for financial gain on television and in movies; the constant barrage of buy something now in commercial deluges every minute has left them stupefied.  

A dysfunctional government that masquerade as legitimacy and a hopeless drool  flowing from those who lack knowledge but media access about the very nature of government , glorifying hideous and hateful slurs toward their fellow citizens masquerading as intelligence. It’s like every drop of morality and hope is being drained out of the body politic.

The other part of our society who owns everything or live off interest and the wealth pass down to them by their wealthy parent are watching their wealth grow in leaps and bounds. The more things appear to change the more they remain the same.

The lack of understanding by the majority of Americans of their government and the Constitution is an abomination.  It is not their fault because of a huge conspiracy by the owner class to keep them dumb and clueless, leaving them ripe for exploitation and deception.

Take for example the Second Amendment our Constitution, loosely referred to as the” right to bear arms and maintain a militia.” Who profit most from this right? The gun manufactures are at the top of list. Why was the Second Amendment added to the Constitution?  During slavery the Southern States had laws requiring all white men between the ages of 18 to 45 to gather once a month and inspect all of the slave quarters in the ,to search for contraband and seize any runaway slaves, and to prevent slave’s insurrections which happened quite often.

 In most cases, the slave population outnumbered the white population. Also, they maintained slave patrols that caught runaway slaves and slaves out after dark.  The Southern States would not vote for the ratification of the Constitution unless an amendment was added to protect their slave patrols and slave regulations laws. Over the years, the gun lobby has protected the Second Amendment as the right of every citizen to have possession of a gun and the gun manufactures have supplied the money and all types of weapons  for the frighten population being led by National Rifle Association. Yes, the American Citizens have a right to bear arms, and maybe the same fears they had in the 1860’s are the same fears they are suffering from today. The double talk and the hoodwinks by the gun industry to maintain the fear and hatred by exploiting the poor illiterate Americans make great news copy and it’s only carry us toward more death and destruction.

Most Americans believe that the President of the United States is responsible for everything that goes wrong in American. While our Constitution compels the three branches of government to carry out its mandates in the Constitution, the Congress makes the laws and decides how to pay for them and enforce them, while the President is supposed ensure that those laws are enforced.  When the President starts making laws and enforcing them it’s a violation of the Constitution. The Judicial Branch is responsible to ensure that the laws made by congress do not violate the Constitution, including Executive orders made by the President.  

Since 1913 two branches of power in America operate the financial system, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Internal Revenue Service and they are independent of our three branches of government. This set up has caused a tremendous imbalance between the wealthy and the poor. The poor direct all their rage toward the government. It’s like they drink a glass of poison and expecting the government to die while the financial manipulators are kicking their ass all over the country. This condition is a low down rotten dirty shame.

Today, there is even a bigger wedge separating American Citizen from each other and causing severe pain and suffering and it’s the use of technology by the younger generation and the hardships being place on the older generation to keep up with new technology. Most of the older generation are living in an apartheid conditions and watching their living conditions being surrounded by things they don’t understand and are afraid of. This technological divide is devastating.

In the old days when one powerful country took over another country they would first double talk and try to hoodwink the unsuspecting natives, and if that didn’t work they would kill them. When Americans become more knowledgeable about their government and where the power over their lives is really coming from the double talk and the hoodwinking will not work anymore, the powers that be may simply figure more sophisticated ways to kill them or have them kill each other by media manipulation.

Double talking and hoodwinking works well in an unsophisticated illiterate unengaged population and its working overtime today.

Peace.
