Sharia Law, Santa Claus, Cinderella and Jesus Christ

I'm about to step, or stomp, on some issues that will piss off many people and create a vibration of thought that hopefully can be soothed with a major dose of introspection.

I wonder what causes more harm than the belief systems held by millions of people or the fantasies created to make young people view the world unrealistically?

Santa Claus and Cinderella hold a special place in the hearts and minds of children.  The idea that a young woman will meet a prince and become a princess is a very large part of western culture....and a very unrealistic objective.  Hoping to just fall in love with a good person should be enough.

Santa Claus seems to be the least troublesome due to the fact that the truth is usually revealed before the age of 10...and now with the information highway stretching through every one's life that age is probably reduced to 7 or 8.

The concept of a single entity being the only path to salvation and heaven just doesn't make any sense no matter how you slice the pie....and thus Jesus of Nazareth, who should be regarded as a great instructor in the art of displaying love and compassion, becomes something of a roadblock to those who want to believe in an intellectual force behind creation.

And then we have Sharia Law which truly makes no sense on any level.  I'm just going to list the Marriage part of the program.

Marriage[change | change source]

• A Muslim man can marry only a Muslim, Christian or Jewish woman. He cannot marry an atheist, agnostic or polytheist.^[1]
• A Muslim woman can marry only a Muslim man. She cannot marry a Christian, Jew, atheist, agnostic or polytheist.^[2]
• The minimum age of marriage for females is nine, for males is twelve.^[3][4]
• A Muslim minor girl's father or guardian may arrange the marriage of a girl, without her consent, before she reaches adulthood.^[5]
• An adult man cannot marry an adult woman without her consent. An adult woman requires her wali's - father or male guardian - consent to marry, in following schools of sharia: Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Jafari.^[5]
• A marriage is a contract that requires the man to pay, or promise to pay some Mahr (property as brideprice) to the woman. The married woman owns this property.^[6][7]
• A man can divorce his wife any time he wants, without reason. A woman cannot divorce her husband without reason. She may file for divorce for reason, such as he is impotent, missing or biologically related to her.
• A Muslim man can marry four Muslim women. A Muslim woman can marry only one Muslim man.

This is only one aspect of Sharia Law but since women have been dominated and mistreated since the dawn of time, I think it's fairly easy to see why Sharia Law needs to be either totally reconstructed or eliminated all together.

PLEASE READ THE SHARIA LAWS OF MARRIAGE A FEW TIMES AND THEN TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY ANY WOMAN WOULD SUPPORT SUCH A THING.

I mean really, Santa Claus and Cinderella make no sense at all but compared to Sharia Laws of marriage they look like scientific realities.

The misogynistic viewpoint of Sharia Law should be addressed by the United Nations on a daily basis.  The Catholic Church, who have their own issues about women, and every human rights organization should be verbalizing their rejection of Sharia Law.  The Mormons, who built their organization on  the premise that woman were simply tools for men to control, should be talking about Sharia Law but of course historical realities makes them remain quiet.

President Barack Obama spoke about domestic violence during the Super Bowl but I've yet to hear him belittle Sharia Law.

NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF ISLAMIC FOLLOWERS WHO DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO SHARIA LAW, WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE, BUT I DON'T HEAR THEIR VOICES CALLING FOR REMOVAL OF THIS ANTIQUATED THOUGHT PROCESS.

I know I'm not the only one who is thinking that radical Islamic followers, who prescribe to strict Sharia Law, seem to be SERIOUSLY hoping for Armageddon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armageddon

And as this ISIS problem gets bigger and bigger and goes deeper and deeper into Syria, Iraq, Iran and Northern Africa...it keeps looking like they might get their wish.

It amazes me that Russia and China, who have obviously an anti-Christian and anti-Islamic cultural basis, have not taken more of an active role in opposing their march.  The only answer must be that arms and munitions are being purchased from those two world powers and money talks.

Personally I wish Santa Claus and Cinderella would take time out from their lofty perch in fantasyland and get involved. 

Imagine Santa, with his modern technological equipped M-78 sleigh screaming down on ISIS and
delivering PRESENTS..... THAT KEEP ON GIVING AND GIVING.

Now it's important to remember that I am a documented anti-war person.  (Just ask my draft board from 1969)  Knowing that fact might give you a small indication on how disappointed I am that a religion who claims to be a peaceful religion allows factions within their organization to continually demonstrate a behavior that seems to be completely void of the most important ingredients regarding the honoring of a Creator...........

SHARIA LAW seems not to contain LOVE of human beings........and especially human beings of the female gender.

That and that alone should be a good enough reason for International Law to rule their efforts invalid.

I WANT TO SEE SOME LAWSUITS FILED IN INTERNATIONAL COURTS FOR ANYONE SUBSCRIBING TO THE MARRIAGE PARTS  OF SHARIA LAW
TO
CEASE
AND
DECEASE

IMMEDIATELY

That's my order for the day.......oh yeah and one more little thing....

Does anyone have Grandma Cinderella's cell phone number?  There's got a be a hot unmarried daughter in her early forties in that big castle looking for an art prince who wants to be an art king but first needs his art queen.....and not a queen from West Hollywood please.


Yeah I know......it never ends and it's all due to Santa Claus, Cinderella, King Arthur, Tolkin, Greek Gods, Walt Disney, Trickle Down Economics and every other fantasy that has engulfed my life.

Faster than the speed of light?

A few years ago I was reading about neutrinos and their existence in relationship to what contributes to the laws of quantum physics. I did a small colored pencil drawing of what a neutrino would look like and it is a pleasant image to observe.
Click on the title of this piece......and you can read about neutrinos on Wikipedia.

The latest news from CERN seems to imply that neutrinos are faster than the speed of light.

FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

THAT, SIMPLY PUT......CHANGES EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY....AND IF THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY IS INCORRECT THAN I SUGGEST YOU HOLD ON BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.

ONE CAVEAT......even though it's been three years since scientist first acknowledged the possibility of something being faster than light...they still need to do some additional testing.

But IF it turns out to be a reality than such silly things as time travel and space wrap movement throughout the universe.....will no longer be silly. It would instantly explain how beings from other galaxies come and go without being detected.

Molecular deconstruction followed by molecular reconstruction is the big one and if something is faster than light than the BIG ONE might actually be a possibility.

THE POSSIBILITIES BECOME ENDLESS IF ANYTHING IS FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

Right now in Jamaica.....Mr. Bolt is trying to figure out to make a neutrino milk shake.

Albert Einstein, on the other hand, is calling bulls..t!

I'm just simply trying to watch it all unfold....but it's so damn quick.....I don't know where to look.......

here....there....everywhere.........faster than the speed of light!

WOW!

Hothead or Hotbed or huh?

One of the interesting features of Global Warming is the choosing of which CAMP you want to be in....is it a hotbed of information or are you a hothead just causing problems or

 do you simply not give a flying f..k?

THE CAMPS

CAMP A....GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL
CAMP B....GLOBAL WARMING WILL DESTROY MANKIND
CAMP C....GLOBAL WARMING MEANS MORE BEACH DAYS
CAMP D....GLOBAL WARMING WAS CREATED BY AL GORE
CAMP E....GLOBAL WARMING WILL END SNOWBOARDING
CAMP F....GLOBAL WARMING IS A PLOT CREATED BY THE BUILDERS OF

STONEHEDGE ........

 

JUST TO CONFUSE US

 

CAMP G....GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT A REPUBLICAN PROBLEM
CAMP H....GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT TRUE AND WE ARE AGAINST IT

As I encounter the different sides to this issue I am continuously amazed that Al Gore is front and center in Camp H. The camp against Global Warming is the camp that says they wouldn't believe anything Al Gore says....because "remember he claimed to have started the Internet." The camp against Global Warming says the charts and figures are created to only show one side of the issue....and the camp against Global Warming says that it's simply a cyclical occurrence and all the fuss is fabricated in order to.....make us nervous...and take our minds off of serious issues....like???????

That's one of the most amazing facts about Camp H. What do they think all these scientists are doing? Do they honestly believe the research being done is done to distract us from reality.
I get very nervous when a group of people seems not to be interested in a problem because the problem is being revealed by AL GORE.

As I watched INCONVENIENT TRUTH I fully understood why Al lost the election...oh wait a minute, he didn't lose the election.....oh yeah the Electoral College does count....oh yeah forget about Florida....HE LOST....get over it!

But watching the movie I realized the problem right after I fell asleep for two minutes during his lecture. Keep in mind that I am a member of CAMP A so I went to see the movie the first week it opened. The moment I realized that I had dozed off, was the moment I understood what had happened in the election.

Al, throughout his political life, has been consistent in his environmental concerns except when he ran for President. I'm fairly certain I never heard him speak about Global Warming when he ran for President. It should have been his platform issue. I realize that he might have put people to sleep but everybody needs to sleep before they can wake up.

In certain Camps, information about Global Warming makes the brain shut down....and it's possible that the brain shutting down might occur in every CAMP at one point or another.

THE INFORMATION IS INTENSE

INTENSE INFORMATION CAN CAUSE THE CONSCIOUS BRAIN TO SHUT DOWN

SLEEP IS A HIGHLY COMMON METHOD FOR EXPERIENCING CONSCIOUS BRAIN SHUT DOWN

AL GORE CAN CREATE A CONSCIOUS BRAIN SHUT DOWN IN SOMEONE BELONGING TO CAMP A


Imagine what he does for people in CAMP H?

I appreciate all the efforts Al Gore has made to bring this issue to the forefront....but if the issue is going to be taken seriously, there needs to be a member of CAMP H involved in a highly publicized conversion to CAMP A...

LET'S PICK OUR POISON.......

JOHN McCAIN.......HIGHLY UNLIKELY BECAUSE OF HIS AGE BUT HE IS SOMEWHAT VOCAL ABOUT REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS....AND IF HE REALLY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT HE'LL SAY TO GET ELECTED. HE'S NOT A MEMBER OF CAMP H, BUT HE'S CLOSE ENOUGH.

NEWT GINGRICH....PERFECT CANDIDATE BECAUSE WHEN HE CREATED HIS CONTRACT WITH AMERICA....THE WORD ENVIRONMENT WASN'T EVEN LISTED IN THE 25 PROMISES. HE COULD BE THE ONE, BUT FIRST HE'D HAVE TO GET HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS ASS.

RUDY GIULIANI...I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE STANDS ON ANYTHING EXCEPT COURAGEOUS FIREMEN IN NEW YORK...SO HE MIGHT BE A PERFECT VOICE FROM CAMP H....BUT HE COULD BE A MEMBER OF ANY CAMP, BECAUSE NOBODY HAS A CLUE TO WHAT HIS POLITICS ARE....YET. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO ENTER THE RACE.....
A GLOBAL WARMING PLATFORM COULD PROPEL HIM STRAIGHT TO PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

CLINT EASTWOOD AND ARNOLD...NOW WE ARE TALKING.

Could you imagine what would happen if these two converted to CAMP A.....

OH MY GOD.....

30% OF THE PEOPLE WOULD STOP DRIVING THEIR CARS AND START RIDING DIESEL POWERED BUSES. 10% OF THE PEOPLE WOULD START RIDING BIKES TO WORK.

 

 

AND BY THE WAY....THIS ISSUE IS THE ISSUE THAT COULD SAVE FORD MOTOR CORPORATION.

THEY LOST $5.6 BILLION LAST QUARTER

IF THEY ANNOUNCED THAT EVERY PASSENGER CAR MANUFACTURED BY FORD WOULD BE A HYBRID BY THE YEAR 2010....the trucks would take a while longer.....but what they needed from the American public would be FUTURE PURCHASE ORDERS...WITH DEPOSITS....NOW. The sooner the FPO the better the discount on the hybrid.

FORD MOTOR CORPORATION COULD BE THE ULTIMATE CAMP A CONVERSION...AND WILLIAM FORD COULD ONCE AGAIN BE THE PRIMARY NAME IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY.

Let Clint and Arnold act as the spokesmen for the project and Global Warming gets bitch slapped all over the place....wham!

So far we've had Al Gore carrying the torch.....nice guy....Tennessee gentleman.....important political ansetory.....ex-Vice-President...founder of the Internet.....but he can put you to sleep even on your best day.....

NOW WE NEED TO BRING OUT THE BIG DOGS WITH THEIR BIG GUNS.....and lots of BIG DOGS belong to CAMP H....and for some ungodly reason people would pay attention.

ACTORS REALLY HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC....

EXCEPT ACTORS WHOSE NAMES ARE ROBBINS, SARANDON, PENN, BALDWIN AND FONDA. It seems that they just piss people off...and this issue can't be pissing people off. Let them stick to their ANTI-WAR position.....there seems to be plenty of those issues to keep them busy for awhile.....

I sincerely hope that a CAMP H convert can come forth soon and take some of the pressure off of poor Al.

COME ON YOU CAMP H DICKHEADS........GET ON THE FREAKIN BANDWAGON.

A tad bit harsh?

How about...

Dear Camp H Global Warming non-believers,
Please note the importance regarding the polar ice cap melting and realize that your children's children will really have a problem if the issue is not addressed now. Al Gore promises to stop giving lectures if anyone of you steps forward and picks up the slack.
Sincerely,
The Human Race

Time to reprint some earlier Mind Jazz "articles" that nobody read.

                                      God and no Religion, Please

I suppose this is long overdue but just like the library...if you pay what you owe, then you are back in good standings and everything is free.

For about 35 years I've had a fairly clear picture of WHO I direct my prayers toward.

Since the subject is extremely possession orientated...meaning everybody thinks they have a fairly clear picture of WHO they direct their prayers toward...it is important to free your mind of any thoughts about WHO you direct your prayers toward.

LET YOUR BELIEF SYSTEMS ESCAPE FOR THE MOMENT.....it's like LOVE...if you let it go and it comes back then it was suppose to happen....if it doesn't come back then you start looking other places...or other faces.

IF YOU DON'T PRAY THEN YOU ARE CLEAN AS A WHISTLE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SUBJECT....and most likely you already have a feeling that the bulls..t is getting ready to fly.

First step is to accept that GOD has no religion.

RELIGION is mankind's way of honoring GOD....and God knows we've had an abundance of different honoring systems on our path of human development.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET RIGHT TO THE ORIGINAL POINT OF NO RETURN

THE MOMENT WHEN ONLY
A
VOID
EXISTED

RESPECTED scientists from all across the globe...claim it was about 14.5 BILLION YEARS AGO that the void suddenly contained LIGHT and MATTER and ENERGY.

THEY CLAIM THERE WAS A RATHER LARGE EXPLOSION AND THEY LIKE TO CALL IT THE BIG BANG.

Which is actually a pretty cool nickname for GOD.

TBB
THE BIG BANG

I realize GOD already has quite a few nicknames and even some of them we aren't allowed to say according to the Jewish faith....but wait a sec....I said no religion and I can't start making fun of them if I don't want to use them for reference points.

AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO USE ANY RELIGION FOR A REFERENCE POINT IN THIS ATTEMPT TO SHOW WHO I DIRECT MY PRAYERS TOWARD.

THE BIG BANG was able to turn a VOID into a cascading expansion of light, energy and matter that not only continues to this very day but will keep expanding for billions of years before it reaches the point of no return and then starts imploding back to that one single moment when once again all that will exist will be.....the VOID.

ANOTHER COOL NICKNAME...

THE VOIDENDER

The important thing to conceptualize is....

I BELIEVE AN ENTITY CREATED THAT MOMENT WHERE DENSITY OF NOTHING WAS INTRODUCED TO DENSITY OF SOMETHING.

It's fairly easy to assume that such AN ENTITY would be very very powerful...but at the moment of creating matter, light and energy there weren't a lot of comparisons.

SORTA A SINGULAR JOB DESCRIPTION, wouldn't you say, when one creates the first ray of light, the first piece of matter and the first hint of energy.

I PERSONALLY AM IN AWE OF THAT POWER...but yet I have no fear of it.....and that either makes me the stupidest person who has ever lived on Earth or just perhaps a human being who gets it and loves it and respects it enough to say....

"YOU GET MY PRAYERS because you started IT....you BIG BANG....you VOIDENDER.....YOU...................GOD
I have no idea how the interplay works between GOD and human beings. I suspect that it has a amazing resolve but I'm just wishing and hoping because that's what I do....and generally that's what all people do if their goals are realistic.

SPIRITUAL PLANNING IS A CRAP SHOOT and who does what and who goes where is anybody's guess. I have some detailed thoughts about this subject but let's stay on point.

For all I know GOD has created a billion little gods to do the dirty work while THE VOIDENDER keeps expanding the Universe.

All the little things that THE BIG BANG could and should and would do to make a Human Beings life a bit smoother is really of no consequence to me. I believe that WE are suppose to handle that goal and that if WE learn to stop judging and hating and fighting then we might just help smooth out the agenda....and in doing so we would be showing our respect to The VOIDENDER.

I hope GOD hears my prayer of honor and love and respect but hearing is probably way beyond the realm of reality for an entity that created the first moment of light, energy and matter.

EARDRUMS WERE PROBABLY SHATTERED AT THAT MOMENT ANYWAY.

I have a theory that it's just about
FEELING
and not hearing

it's just about
KNOWING
and not seeing

it's just about
LOVE
and not regret

Of course those are just theories and as long as I breathe I will continue my curiosity in to how the interplay works between Human Beings and THE BIG BANG VOIDENDER more commonly known as

GOD

And that's the GOD I pray to and send my personally designed prayer to every time.

The FREQUENCY OF PRAYER is another entire "ARTICLE" and one that I will deal with in the near future....but for now I think I've answered a question that was asked well over a year ago.

"Who do you pray to?"

Well Sharon...there you go.
I've tried to answer in a short explanation because the long explanation takes about 14.5 Billion years and I'm not sure INTEL has enough room on their chip.

That's where my prayers are headed when they leave my mind...where they land I have no freaking clue!

DO YOU?

First article I wrote about Dark Energy.. 2006

(Mind Jazz B4 I started Mind Jazz)

Dark Energy

11-17-06

Page 25 of today’s LA TIMES has this headline……

Dark Energy dates back to young days of universe

Sub heading reads

The finding gives astronomers an important new clue to how gravity works.

Those might seem like important topics but when I consider that probably only 200,000 people in Los Angeles will read this article, then the importance gets diminished…..well maybe not diminished…. but the reception is truly limited.

SIDE-BAR ON NUMBERS…..circulation of Times is a little over 1 million….of those
readers…..my guess is that 300,000 only read the Sports Section…..another 100,000 only read the Business section…..and 250,000 only read the Calendar section.

Nationwide, the figure probably jumps to 2 million…….who might read this article.
So there are 2 million people today that are asking a few simple questions…..like
what the hell is DARK ENERGY? And don’t we know what causes gravity to work?
Out of the 2 million people there might be 20,000 who know what DARK ENERGY is….and out of those 20,000 there might be 2000 who understand the true concept.

First let’s focus on DARK ENERGY and what it is….or what it wants us to think it is…..or what it might turn into……or what it used to be……

Let’s agree on one principle…..the speculative nature of what DARK ENERGY is….should be a rather large portion of our discussion.

A short definition of DARK ENERGY says it is “the enigmatic force that is causing the universe to expand.”
ENIGMATIC FORCE…..whoa….hold it right there.

Time for definition…..

Enigmatic….of or like an enigma; perplexing; baffling….

which now means we need to define

Enigma…n pl, -mas …to speak in riddles. 1. a perplexing, usually ambiguous, statement; riddle
2.a perplexing, baffling, or seemingly inexplicable matter, person, etc. SYN. See
MYSTERY

I realize that I am not a scientist......nor am I an astronomer…..but I do somewhat understand the English language and when I see the word enigmatic being used to describe DARK ENERGY then immediately I have to ask……

WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT IT IS,
OR WHAT IT DOES? (And who actually
got to name it?) after all….a mystery is a mystery…..

Even the impeccably intelligent Albert Einstein backed off this issue because there was no concrete evidence….or mathematical proof.

I have a strange feeling that sometime in the relatively near future…..which could mean anytime within the next 5000 years…..someone is going to discover a separate quark environment that will result in DARK ENERGY becoming NOT SO DARK ENERGY
And then someone else will come along and reveal that they have discovered that DARK ENERGY is really LIGHT ENERGY….with tiny slivers of darkness.

Which I believe.... pretty much describes the human species.

I believe that DARK ENERGY is alive and living within the hearts and souls of human beings who could improve the living situations for millions….but who refuse for various reasons.

DARK ENERGY is the refusal to feed the starving masses around the planet
DARK ENERGY is the refusal to supply up to date HIV & AIDS medication to the millions who are suffering around the planet.
DARK ENERGY is the behavior of the warlords in DUFAR.
DARK ENERGY is the behavior of anyone who arranges that a bomb be detonated in the presence of civilians…anywhere on the planet.


Obviously each of us could compile a long list of what DARK ENERGY might be….
And a “NE0-ILLUMINATION” says that “happiness might be based on much truth one can ignore.”

At this moment today….right now….I choose to ignore DARK ENERGY and thus that ends this column.

Peace
Michael Timothy McAlevey

p.s. I have a strange sensation that DARK ENERGY maintains a fairly powerful presence in spite of my refusing to be sucked in. Tomorrow DE could dominate my life and the list could become incredibly lonnnnnnnnnng.

Oscars and other silly things

This Sunday about 30 or so people will be taking home a small statue that signifies the cinematic taste of a limited group of people who generally get to view the product for....free.

 

Make the members pay to see each film and then it might be a real contest.

 

I was actually going to write an entire article about the Oscars but just decided at this very moment to curtail any further energy needed to cover this subject.....but my last comment is

Tina Fey and Amy Poulter should host every awards show...for anything....except the Nobel prizes....even though that would be funny.

*******

To the ex-gov of Oregon I say......you should have cleaned up the meth problem first and then worked on getting a girl friend.

***********

As I read about the continuing problems at the Fukushima Nuclear power plant in Japan all I can feel is extreme bullshit coming from everybody involved.  They can't tell us the whole story because it's too depressing.

I've always maintained that the REAL cost of Nuclear power MUST include the cleanup when something goes wrong....and since the cleanup never ends then costs never end, and thus Nuclear energy becomes the most expensive energy ever.  And until we develop microbes that eat Nuclear waste we are stuck with the present problem of where and what to do with BILLIONS of galleons of DEATH.

***********
 
IS is NOT OUR PROBLEM.   EGYPT, TURKEY AND SAUDI ARABIA HAVE RECEIVED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF US FOREIGN AID AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF REVENUE FOR VARIOUS THINGS FROM THOSE THREE COUNTRIES.  WE HAVE ALSO SOLD THEM BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF WAR MACHINERY AND IT'S THEIR JOB TO MAKE IS GO TO THE PROMISE LAND....NOT OURS.

********
And yesterday WE announced that the United States would enter the wholesale international DRONE business.  I guess that won't cause any future problems for us. And the reason for this is because THEY say China and Russia are doing it so we might as well join the party.

************

Watched a short film made in 1942 that explained the amount of US military build up leading to WW11.    In 1940 we went batshit crazy with production of war machinery and obviously it was necessary because of Hitler's European march.  IT CHANGED OUR CULTURE  AND THERE IS NO GOING BACK.  By the time Japan hit Pearl Harbor we were well on our way to becoming  a military state and today we are THE military state. Why someone didn't kill Hitler in the mid or late 30's is because SOME IMPORTANT PEOPLE wanted what we have become....and they not only saw the future, they benefited from it.  Weapons are the ticket and if you can create a better weapon than you have a guaranteed customer in the United States of America,  I sure hope Tesla doesn't start building electric tanks.


*************
 In the LA TIMES today President Obama got an article published in the OP-ED section.

STOPPING VIOLENT EXTREMISM

PAGE A11

This week in Washington there is a summit of 60 nations meeting to discuss extremism.   I hope Barry doesn't start by mentioning the Crusades again.

Maybe a mini...Council of Faith?


**********

SPRING TRAINING  is starting and the Dodgers already suffered an injury to an important part of their team......ouch.

Oh well...no TV and back to Vinnie on the radio for 3 innings....radio makes it so much easier to create my artwork.


Peace  (somewhere) please.

Disipline

February 11 2015

12:15 am

 

I awake in the first 15 minutes of completing my 69 year on this earth.  A dream woke me and the ramifications of the meaning behind the dream leave me with a sense of beauty and desire to create what I know should be the continued development of my responsibility and evolution of who I am and what I was born to do.

 We all have an individual call to enlightenment that binds the collective consciousness but unless we develop the proper DISCIPLINE than the journey becomes cloudy and the mist that settles on our lives prevents awareness from building the foundation needed.

 As long as we inhabit a physical reality we are building that foundation which helps us with the structure of becoming aware of our true and eternal nature.

 Our eternal nature resides in the non-physical reality.   I choose to use this term but most of you already know it as the….soul.

 If we are extremely fortunate, we might get 100 years on this physical level.  A hundred years compared to eternal reality is fairly close to nothing.  Within that very short period of time, whatever length it might be, our job should be to build a foundation that leaves some type of legacy which resembles the most important aspects of human nature. 

 What you and I think are the most important aspects of human nature will most likely vary depending on so many tangents.

 

If you don’t develop the proper DISCIPLINE than it might be rather hard to achieve whatever your goals might be.

 

The DISCIPLINE OF LOVE is extremely challenging, especially if you are directing it outside of your immediate family and friends.

 

I can’t express enough how disappointed I am with planetary behavioral patterns that seem to be failing to display the DISCIPLINE OF LOVE.

 I am disappointed in myself for not developing the physical balance that is needed to achieve what I want to achieve.

 I know the answers on how one should perfect their physical harmony.  But it’s hard work and it doesn’t just happen, especially with all the outside temptations.

 One has to take their physical energy and direct it toward physical success and that is done by diet, prayer and exercise.

 

The diet part is easily the hardest. Eliminating hazards in your daily diet means the end of so many things that taste good.  But I’m here to remind you that with the proper use of herbs and natural spices you can learn a new level of substitution that will work.

This sugar thing has gotten completely out of hand and you know it and I know and everybody knows it but yet…….

 It might be the single hardest addiction to break.  

                                                                           It’s got so many disguises.

 

Having a piece of fruit for dessert instead of ice cream sounds so easy but have you tasted Jamoca Almond Fudge? 

 

I break so many rules when it comes to discipline that I feel lucky to still be here.

 

The dream that woke me up had cascading waterfalls and lush green foliage being guarded and protected by a family with a beautiful daughter who for some ungodly reason fell in love with what I was talking about when I suddenly appeared on their property. (Dreams are instant location finders if you hadn’t noticed)

 

Her father took her off and explained that I had no discipline of love.  He told her that I loved everything but nothing in particular.  Her mother told her that I had awareness of discipline but that I had no sense when it came to acting on that awareness.  They got together and decided that I needed to meet the oldest daughter who lived in the mountains by herself and truly had no desire to interact with human beings.  They send me off into the mountains where I encountered her from a distance but before I could approach her she yelled out…..”You have to stay at a lower level until you get clean.”  I answered her with….”I take a shower every day.”  Before turning and going back into the amazing tree house she lived in she simply said…..”My family thinks you are someone important but until you are important to yourself I can’t be around you.  Come see me after you develop the proper disciplines.”

 

I woke up and wanted a cigarette and a cup of coffee with a scoop of ice cream in the coffee.

 

I mean it’s my birthday and.......

 

.......................I’m just not sure what she meant by discipline.

 

Dreams can spin everything out of control

                 as can birthdays as you grow older and older and older.

 

Damn……it’s time to act on the disciplines I know to be true.

How about you?

Lack of Islamic cartoonists might be the problem

POLITICAL CARTOONS

Origins[edit]

A Rake's Progress, Plate 8, 1735, and retouched by Hogarth in 1763 by adding the Britannia emblem^[2][3]

The pictorial satire of William Hogarth has been credited as the precursor to the political cartoon.^[4] His pictures combined social criticism with sequential artistic scenes. A frequent target of his satire was the corruption of early 18th century British politics. An early satirical work was an Emblematical Print on the South Sea Scheme (c.1721), about the disastrous stock market crash of 1720 known as the South Sea Bubble, in which many English people lost a great deal of money.^[5]
His art often had a strong moralizing element to it, such as in his masterpiece of 1735, A Rake's Progress. It consisted of eight pictures that depicted the reckless life of Tom Rakewell, the son of a rich merchant, who spends all of his money on luxurious living, services from sex workers, and gambling—the character's life ultimately ends in Bethlem Royal Hospital.^[6]
However, his work was only tangentially politicized and was primarily regarded on its artistic merits. George Townshend, 1st Marquess Townshend produced some of the first overtly political cartoons and caricatures in the 1750s.<sup>[4][7]

(wikipedia)

Ben Franklin's Join or Die cartoon is credited with being a very early form of this type of political statement.  In 1754 this piece appeared in the Pennsylvania Gazette. Obvious intention although not very funny....but strange how it has a snake involved and those radical dickheads throughout the world always refer to us as The Snake. (And by the way....where's the Ben Franklin Movie?...sounds like a perfect role for Sir Tony Hopkins)</sup>

Personally I think the snake has gotten a fairly raw deal and it's obvious that The Bible has played a major role in how we "view" the serpent.

From what I've read about the amount of rats in NY and Paris, it might be a good idea to unleash a few million snakes into the sewer system of both cities and let them chow to their heart's delight.  Then we turn around and unleash a 100,000 mongooses and let them do their thing.  Then after they've finished we bring in about 500 Jackals and let them go nuts.  Then last but not least, we bring in those guys on the Hunting Cable Channel and tell them to finish the project.  We then cancel the cable show and everything gets back to normal.

I GUESS IT'S PRETTY EASY TO SAY THAT NORMAL
MIGHT BE A VERY ABSTRACT WORD

SO....here's my point of this article.....

 

ISLAM does not allow humor when discussing their religion.  Therefore I'm thinking that because they think that the Koran is the written word of GOD they don't think GOD has a sense of humor.

 

THAT'S A MAJOR FLAW IN THEIR THINKING....and it's a flaw that needs to be addressed and corrected.

 

It doesn't do any good for non-Islamic cartoonists to create the satires...IT MUST BE DONE BY THEMSELVES.

 

As Joesph Campbell said...."Participate with joy in the sorrows of the world."

 

ISLAM needs to see that making fun of oneself is fundamental to being happy and a lot less uptight.

 

I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE....wouldn't you?

 

I think Pearls before Swine should be required reading in all Muslim countries.....on a daily basis.

 

But that's just me you see.

 

I'm a problem solver.

2015 or ?????????

Welcome to 2015

This morning I went to the market to buy a tomato and a potato.  Not quite the same kind of chore as Jack did when he took the cow to market and ended up with those beans that made everybody hallucinate, but we all have our own journeys.....don’t we?  

I simply have one question. 

 

WHY ARE TOMATOES SO EXPENSIVE?

I can grow tomatoes on my porch.  I can’t grow a potato because I don’t have a field or a tractor.

Tomatoes are $2.99 a pound.

Potatoes are .99 cents a pound.

IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE.

So many things that are happening financially on this planet  

are BAFFLING.

 

The price of tomatoes might not be the most important financial issue confronting us but since I love tomatoes I’m making it number one on my list.

 

What’s number one on your list?

The price of oil might be the most confusing to people because……

what changed since last year? 

Did China and India stop buying oil? 

Did Japan discover their own oil?

 

We’ve been told for five years that the cost of gasoline was due to the increased demand of the emerging middle classes in both China and India.

 

The biggest crock is the explanation that it’s bad for the economy if oil stays below $60 a barrel.

 

THE CONSUMER BENEFITS FROM LOW OIL PRICES…..period!

CHEVRON AND EXXON DON’T BENEFIT FROM LOWER OIL PRICES AND THAT MEANS THE TRICKLE DOWN BULLSHIT WON’T BE WORKING PROPERLY.

 

THE TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMIC PLATFORM, PUT INTO PLAY BY RONALD REAGAN, IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST CROCK OF BULLSHIT EVER DEVELOPED….AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT IT…..HOOK, LINE AND SINKER.

 

IT INCREASES PROFIT MARGINS FOR THE LARGE CORPORATIONS AND THUS INCREASES THE WEALTH OF THE INFAMOUS 1%.

 

My New Year’s Resolution

 

Attempt to help wake up the American public TO CERTAIN FACTS….and sell more artwork.

 

FACTS:

The people that don’t vote…..need to vote....and buy my artwork.

The people who don’t pay attention…..need to pay attention…to everything.

People who think racism isn’t alive and well in America need to wake up.

People need to understand that racism is a learned behavior.

The people who think THE 1% give a rat’s ass about the rest of us need to understand what’s happening.

The people who claim a higher minimum wage will just increase prices need to see that prices are increasing and will increase ANYWAY.

Chickens not trapped in tiny tiny cages will produce better eggs.

Climate Change is an issue to be discussed not shunned.

Religious differences are not differences settled by any type of physical harm to another human being.

 

TOMATOES need to be under a dollar per pound.

 

FURNITURE Manufacturing AND Service (call centers) jobs need to be brought back into the American industrial complex.

THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INDUSTRIAL AMERICAN COMPLEX.

American Car Manufactures need to build 50% of their products capable of getting 75 miles per gallon.

Doctors have to stop being partners with

Pharmaceutical companies.....and they need to buy my art work.

George Clooney should run for President.

By the way.......

You should buy a piece of my art work…or trade me those tomatoes that are growing in your yard.

 

WHATEVER!!

JUST GET MORE INTERESTED IN

EVERYTHING

IN

2015

Happy New Year

 

But then again, always keep in  mind one important question…………what year is this really?

 

13,595,876,237 or 13,595,876,238?

I know one thing…..it’s definitely the year of the Tomato.
