The thinking mind cannot understand Presence and so will often misinterpret it. It will say you are uncaring, distant, have no compassion, are not relating. The truth is, you are relating but at a level deeper than thought and emotion. In fact, at that level there is a true coming together, a true joining that goes far beyond relating. In the stillness of Presence, you can sense the formless essence in yourself and in the other as one. Knowing the oneness of yourself and the other is true love, true care, true compassion.

--Eckart Tolle

Unconscious people--and many remain unconscious, trapped in their egos throughout their lives--will quickly tell you who they are: their name, their occupation, their personal history, the shape or state of their body, and whatever else they identify with. Others may appear to be more evolved because they think of themselves as an immortal soul or divine spirit. But do they really know themselves, or have they just added some spiritual-sounding concepts to the content of their mind? Knowing yourself goes far deeper than the adoption of a set of ideas or beliefs. Spiritual ideas and beliefs may at best be helpful pointers, but in themselves they rarely have the power to dislodge the more firmly established core concepts of who you think you are, which are part of the conditioning of the human mind. Knowing yourself deeply has nothing to do with whatever ideas are floating around in your mind. Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.

--Eckart Tolle

And when Darkness consumes the Starlight, nightmares rule the night...

Christina and the SPD murdered my life in the U District in 2001,
The vanity and arrogance campaigned to bleed the innocent
without truth, rhyme or reason...
Property destroyed and smear campaigns in season.
How had it begun?
Patrick went on roving in the district, was I blamed for this?
Very sorry about my OCD and rage taken out sideways through Stepworks vending (it wasn't a sin)
What about the old guard? What about the new guard?
Crystal lied and Letia lied and Bob lied, etc. and Robert Cloud set out to cause deviciveness for selfish manipulation, the women (is this what female empowerment has come to??) and some men tricked--
into cutting me off from connection(--alone), to make me powerless, to help Crystal after what she's done?? Save the 5 Point Cafe?? What the other's have done? How naive are they? I believe they have been fooled into thinking I'm this bad person...
whispering with the chicanery of lummoxes--
with lumbering vanity and arrogance to bleed the defenseless;
why would they not communicate?
Ruining my life again in a sociopathic neighborhood.
What could I have done to stop it that I had not tried?
Pulling things out of context by finkish fiends like rats they are~~
Death riding a Harley with a white flag into my life
leaving a trail of blood to try to cover their sins...
Who is this old guard of men?

Too bad

we can't find a way to swing the Supreme Court in a more progressive direction like in the days of Chief Justice Warren's era.

MAY I SERVE YOU?

Through service we grow
In love, deeper and deeper
Opening our hearts, so~
Every once in a while we must step
back, and then
Leave plateaus for higher mastery.
Is this what growing into the mystery
Is?
God always suspending us over the abyss
With a child's hands

ANANDA*

When we rise
Wake up and roar!
Our mind's eye
Aligning our heart ever more.
We sing wind and fire--
Breathe earth and meadow
Counting the notes in between heartbeats
Always listening within...
Letting thought waves flow
Harmlessly above;
Earning no less,
Seeking no more.

*means "Joy"

Please keep letting Congress know we need to limit corporate donations toward political candidates; low financial limitations need to be set

We also need FDR's second Bill of Rights put into law like it was originally intended to be. FDR died a month later is why it was not then.

Serious people will have serious enemies. Sadly true, fight the good fight. Water rights activism yay; money is not more important than water.

Boycott companies destroying wetlands by taking too much water away. Help stop or control corporations (Suez, Coca Cola, Veolia, etc.) trying to control and privatize water in the world.

The U.S. is huge in trying to control water rights around the world. This amounts to life and death in other countries. How can we change such negative aspects of the World Bank?

Grow constituencies toward water rights.

Thanks, Aaron

FYI:

I have been informed that King County is the third most corrupt county in the nation by someone in and out of the system for a long time~~

It certainly makes sense from my experience...
