Saturday’s Star-Telegram Fort Worth Texas
Wrong words?
In your editorial highlighting the drug-related turmoil in Mexico,
especially along the southern border, the words violence and terrorism are mentioned! (See: “A growing threat,” March 28)
According to recent reports, however, referring to terrorism isn’t politically correct anymore.
Any further threats of potential terror or other vulnerability facing our homeland
should be addressed as a “man-caused disaster” to be in step with the new tone of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
God bless our understaffed border security personnel in their dangerous endeavor to protect
us from ongoing unchecked man-caused disasters on both sides of the border.

Nationalism is a symptom of the disease
People just like the neighbors on our street,
Yet living in such a state of poverty that morality has vanished…
Why is this happening?
The answer to that is at the heart of all of the worlds “problems”
Humanity’s level of awareness is locked into a state of Egoic Consciousness.
It rules our world…
The vast majority of people do not even know the meaning of egoic consciousness
They have no model for it…and so it is invisible to them
The Matrix…. if you like, or don’t
But this is not the movie, this is real life and our Matrix is so much more dangerous
because we have nothing tangible like the machines to point to …and say…look there they are….
We must instead do that which is so much harder.
Look inside ourself and know….. We are the creators of our reality.
Yet, we have become pawns for the “Machine”, our leaders the Agents
While we remain blind to it
Lemmings led for centuries by the collective egoic consciousness.
Fighting wars of genocide in the name of religion.
Enslaving our fellow man into bondage
Treating women like possessions to be owned.
Killing the ones who bring the messages of peace and love to share with us.
And putting the very worst of us in the greatest positions of power.
Do you see it now…. this thing which rules us…
It comes from a “gift” (adaptation) of biology…our minds have image-a-nation ….to see time
It was this gift that allowed us to become the dominate species of the planet
As individuals we see the past as those moments in time we chose to remember as significant
If we were totally conscious we would see then as they truly were
but we are not, and remember them at best, as pale shadows of the experience….
varying concurrent with the level of consciousness we were in when we experienced them
Another aspect of our ‘gift’ of image-a-nation is that we can and do form images of ourselves.
With every action we take and every thought we have, we watch ourselves and judge….
and we begin to confuse the situation we are in….
believing that what we see ourselves do in any given moment makes us who we are.
Alone at night we replay events of our life….”If I had just said, or done it differently, everything would be ok.”
“He/she would have stayed with me and my life would be ok: ….and you take a xanax and the world fades to black.
For most of is our self image is largely constructed from what we chose to remember about ourselves.
Yet we are our own worst critics….replaying mistakes over, and over,
until a depressed mental state becomes a total meltdown, and medication, or suicide seem the only solution.
The entire profession of psychology exists to help us recover from the self inflicted damage we do to ourselves
A few of us have learned to forgive ourselves, and be at peace,
and a few go to the other extreme, and end their lives, or take the lives of others whom they blame for their pain.
If we chose to identify with the believe that we are what we imagine ourselves to be, then we are trapped in that model of belief…
That model is nothing more that dust blowing in the wind of time.
We are the living field of energy
we generate in each present moment of our life.
Totally free to allow the joy of being
to be your choice of how to experience existence.
As individuals to learn from the past is ok, to identify with it is the beginning of insanity
As a species we are taught what occurred in the past is the ‘Truth’ by our culture
and in in just such a way a group like Americans develop a cultural identity.
This, like an individuals identity must be viewed with caution for it is only a model and not reality.
Our history books are filled with stories written by the victors of glorious wars fought between the forces of good and evil.
The lessons are there for all to see..The good and evil exist only when the models are mistaken for reality and millions die needlessly
Books and history channel programs about our own civil war are my favorite examples of egoic programming.
In every program flags are waved, heros praised and the horrors of battles are shown
but not once has the media suggested the thousands that died were killed by a state of mind ……
that is every bit a present today as it was then.
If we view our cultural identity as reality then we are collectively making the same error
as an individual makes in their personal situation
yet the danger and damage to life is magnified exponentially.
Existing in all of us is the freedom of choice by which we allow the collective egoic mind the authority to continue to control our world
Within the ‘gift’ of image-a-nation… the presence of that choice is the key to unlock
the authority of the free will of all the people of this planet
If we but open our eyes and see what we have become……
Every day it’s absence allows the horrors to continue
the message of the ego dominates our lives
it is projected to us like a daily diet
fed to us by the media,
indoctrinating our children in every classrooms
It’s message, the mandates of our supervisors
The store managers, the corporate leaders,
Infecting the words spoken from the pulpits
in empty houses filled with people, containing only poverty.
The message of the ego disguised, behind the ‘necessity’ of time bound logic has become so powerful,
That to oppose it labels you as UN-American
Or subjected to ridiculed, like the sane warnings of Al Gore.
Today we watch in disbelief as the saving we earned and intrusted to the system
Vanish into thin air……and we feel helpless
Robbing us of the promise that our hard work would allow us to provide a safe future for our the survival of our families and loved ones.
The situation is a lie, a construct to build a state of panic and desperation in our minds.Machiavelli described centuries ago how to use this to maximum advantage to control
and instill policies that would be unthinkably unacceptable to the general population.
First he explains, create a situation of concern building to almost panic in the minds of the people
and then propose the policy you intended all along as only ‘unfortunate’ solution to this situation.
This worked perfectly with the installation of Homeland Security
Do people really not understand the power and danger of Homeland Security Secretary to what little remains of the freedom left in this country?
It’s unchecked power is backed by our local police, the national guard and even the entire US military…
Endangering the freedom of the very people it is suppose to protect
Machiavelli
Since there are many possible qualities that a prince can be said to possess, he must not be overly concerned about having all the good ones.
Also, a prince may be perceived to be merciful, faithful, humane, frank, and religious,
but he should only seem to have these qualities.
A prince cannot truly have these qualities because at times it is necessary to act against them.
Although a bad reputation should be avoided, this is not crucial in maintaining power.
The only ethic that matters is one that is beneficial to the prince in dealing with the concerns of his state.
