All our great religious teachers say the same thing- we are all together, we are all one, our separateness is an illusion. If you harm someone, you are harming yourself. We thrive when we give to others, we are our best when we help one another.

The difficulty is reaching this perception on a deep emotional level.

India's tiger population dwindles to about 1,400....worldwide, wild tigers number around 3,200....just a few short years ago the figure was 7,000.

They are disappearing fast. I don't want to live in a world without tigers. Do you?

The fate of our last divine beast is up to you-

Our fake President, Barry Seotero, delivered the annual State of the Union pep talk the other night. There is really nothing to say about this, as it was full of lies and distortions, as usual. Barry heads a failed state. Our kids are obese and on Ritalin. Our border has been overrun. The debt is un-payable, our jobs are being shipped overseas.....while the banksters laugh. If you think this happened by accident, then you are a fool.

The government says inflation essentially doesn't exist, while food and fuel prices go through the roof. Dependents are being deprived of cost of living increases, their meals are being reduced. The BP oil spill in the Gulf continues unabated, wrecking the regions ecosystem, while the media is silent. Big agri buys up every small farm, and sets the stage for an induced famine. The austerity is here. A beast control grid is being laid down.....A dark vulture hovers over Tunisia, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Greece, Ireland....Soros is run by Red Shield. Do you understand? The Gun is loaded, a finger squeezes the trigger.....how many millions will die? How many billions? We wont recognize the world of 2020.

A 'tea party' arose in 2009, fostered by a fear of debt and the perceived radicalism of a rookie politician who seized the presidency through fraud and mass media connivance. The tea party might have been the needed vehicle to restore the republic... but it was largely captured by the billionaire Koch brothers, so now the tea party has become merely an arm of country club republicans, its revolutionary force squandered .

We recently learned that the Fed in 2008-9 shuffled over $9 trillion to several domestic and foreign corporations. Why did these entities need such funds? $9 trillion could have righted the economy- how many underwater mortgages might have been saved? How about job training or counseling? Or even a massive public works project, the so called (imaginary) 'shovel ready' projects that Barry talked about so much? $9 trillion could have ended the great recession but no, it was given to foreign hedge fund managers who absconded with the cash.... Main Street got nothing.

I once sought salvation through the path of the artist- the way of imagination. This didn't satisfy, despite what the romantics say.

There can be no political solution until the individual takes charge over their own self. Do not expect a statesman to come and rescue you or your job.
The reason we are in pain on the streets is because we are flawed and refuse to change. Stop looking for answers from outside.

Our leaders should be so excellent....that they inspire and shame us to be good. We live in an age of insipid tolerance...we overlook too much, standards have collapsed.

I'm always happy when I'm struggling against my demons. Brief failures are painful but nothing is so bad as when I give up and surrender to mediocrity, wallowing in a no -pressure vague idleness, void of moral ambition. The struggle is marked by decision points-without these, there can be no will power. Engaging the storm of life is what constitutes bliss- win or lose.

I am a religionist without religion...A mystic without faith.

There is something in us that keeps us where we find ourselves. I think this is the most awful thing of all.

"Dream-Land"

By a route obscure and lonely,
haunted by ill angels only,
when at Eidolon, named night,
On a black throne reigns upright,I have reahed these land but lately,
From an Ultimate Thule-
from a wild wretched clime, that lieth, sublime,

Out of Space- out of Time
