"Musical Ascension"

Attuning the mind,
bringing focus to the specific frequency,
space/time continuums reverberating with the groove, hypnotic,
like that exotic melody running through your soul the other day;
and at moments like this,
epiphany, you
got it, and you
rejoice with sublime elation,
feet involuntarily strutting with a coolness recognizable only to the
truly hip. You could swear it
would never end, the quintessential rhythm
speaking syncopated syllables swiftly stroking smooth souls systematically,
dramatically elevating the conscious mind to a better place,
a higher dimension,
musical ascension. In this blissful state,
notes and verbs conjugate to relate the divine progression,
expression of dialectic wisdom interwoven with prophetic vision of the
mindset. Even when silent,
one speaks, and you
get it, renewal of the mind conjoined with the wholeness of the rhythm
precisely planting perfectly placid patterns peacefully perceiving plateaus
in the elevation of the soul, sole entity
speaking be-bop beyond the forces of digital being,
whispering in tongues that only drums can understand
as the heavens unfold before the ones who can truly
feel it.

"Blues for the Monument"

There is no such thing as darkness without purpose.
Faces walk through the night like keys opening forgotten doors to
ancient answers. They never speak, and yet,
our dreams read their souls like open books,
only to forget the truths when we awaken from slumber,
wisdom tight-lipped before the foolishness of the everyday.
My mind has become a candle walking through the depths of
inner reason, burning with the flame of undiscovered meaning as we all
circle the galactic center silently. We read the book from cover to cover,
only to find that the end is also the beginning. As adults,
we learn not to trust anyone who is of this corrupt world,
and yet, they are our kin, and the similarities between us all
are at best unsettling. The darkness of humanity has become
vast and threatening skyscrapers of technological intellect without
peace. There are blank stares that open up the night sky, as if
the heavens wept bitterly.

The Internet-Enabled Computer

These days, people seem to have this erroneous notion that their personal computer and the Internet will make them a better person. They think that they can point and click their way to a greater sense of wisdom and a more rock-solid foundation of virtues and character. They are all quite sadly mistaken. Internet-enabled computers cannot, in and of themselves, stimulate personal growth. Only people can do that. The only thing an Internet-enabled computer can do is enable its human users to do more of what they were already doing. If a person was already a virtuous leader, then the computer will only make that person a virtuous leader who can do more. And if a person was already a violent rapist, then the computer will only make that person a violent rapist who can do more. With the computer, Pastors can govern churches more effectively, thieves can steal more than mere money, doctors can heal more patients, pedophiles can molest more children, law-enforcement agents can uphold the law with greater efficiency, criminals can break the law with greater efficiency, emergency response teams can save more lives, and serial killers can murder more victims. The Internet-enabled computer can only amplify what a person already has. It cannot change a person from evil to good unless those seeds of change have already been planted into that person's soul. And those seeds of change can only come from another human being, not from a computer.

As such, Internet-enabled computers cannot improve the overall quality of life in modern society. Only honest, genuine, decent, respectful people can do that. If anything, the rise of the Internet has brought with it the birth of cyber-crime, hacking, cyber-bullying, identity theft, and cyberporn, elements that have worsened the overall quality of life in modern society. And in the field of education, children, who are still going through the formative years of their social lives, are being robbed of the much-needed social environments provided by traditional brick-and-mortar schools, their original method of education being replaced by an insular online home-based school. If adult people need to physically interact with other people in order to maintain their psychological equilibrium, then children need even more physical interaction in order to learn how to socialize with their peers, and how to respect the authority of their elders. A child simply cannot learn such valuable social skills while being isolated in a room with a computer. And it is those very social skills that a child will need in order to function properly as an adult in modern society. Taking away the physical school experience and replacing it with an online school at home will truly deprive that child of the social growth he or she desperately needs.

The reason the Internet-enabled computer fails to serve as a stable medium for social interaction can be summed up in just one word: anonymity. It is absolutely impossible to completely validate a person's true identity, beyond all reasonable doubt, using only an Internet-enabled computer. If a person can get away with lying about himself or herself for a certain amount of time in the real physical world, then imagine how much havoc he or she can wreak in cyberspace. It is absolutely foolish to have a purely online friendship or relationship with a person whose identity has never been validated in the real physical world. And you absolutely cannot trust an individual you have only met in cyberspace, especially since that individual could be a complete lie. How can you tell that your teen-aged daughter's online friend really is another teen-aged girl, and not some big, sleazy, middle-aged pedophile who enjoys kidnapping, brutally raping, sodomizing, and then savagely murdering teen-aged girls like your daughter? And how can you tell whether or not such a pedophile has stolen the online identity of one of your daughter's real teen-aged friends in order to lure your daughter into a real physical trap? Is the Internet really worth a human life? Is it worth your life? Is it worth your child's life? As long as people choose to blindly ignore the perils of Internet anonymity, modern society will continue to be destroyed by unprecedented cyber-crime. And humanity is truly doomed if people at large trust an Internet-enabled computer more than they trust each other.

Modern society needs to remember how to survive without the Internet-enabled computer if modern society really wants to survive at all. Our most basic social skills, our financial endeavors, our abilities to successfully research and collaborate, our abilities to investigate and invent, and even our abilities to teach and heal, were once all accomplished without the Internet-enabled computer. The greater part of American history saw the nation rise to the level of a global superpower without the Internet-enabled computer. Americans harnessed electricity, utilized atomic power, and even landed astronauts on the Moon without the Internet-enabled computer. The Internet-enabled computer was never responsible for American greatness. Americans are responsible for American greatness. To build all of America's future hopes, dreams, visions, and aspirations upon a foundation consisting of soulless machines is to doom the entire nation to a perpetual oblivion.

True Entrepreneurship

Why do you want to be an Entrepreneur? Is it because you have a desire to "be your own boss," retire wealthy at age thirty-five, go on exotic vacation trips, and have the freedom to spend your own time in whatever way you desire? Or is it because you want to make a name for yourself by successfully creating and building several Fortune 500 Companies? Or is it because you have a unique new idea for a product or service that will genuinely benefit humanity? There are many reasons Americans want to quit their grueling 9-to-5 day-job and start their own business. And the more selfish the reason, the more likely those Americans will fail in all of their attempts to become entrepreneurs. If you want to become an entrepreneur simply because you want to become a billionaire and live a more luxurious lifestyle, then, in all honesty, you're better off keeping your day-job. TRUE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NOT ABOUT YOU. True entrepreneurship is about LEADERSHIP. True leadership demands that you put the needs of your subordinates and clients first, and your own selfish desires last. True leadership demands that you build your business with a Vision that will outlive even yourself. True leadership demands that you inspire your subordinates to work together as a team to fulfill the Vision of the greater good that your business was created for. As long as your mind is clouded with short-term selfishness (i.e. I wanna own a mansion and a yacht!), you are totally unfit to fulfill any long-term Vision, and you are on the path of a selfish, reckless entrepreneur.

Ye Shall Know Them by Their Fruits???

Sunday, 31 January 2010, 9:45AM

When I was raised in Los Angeles, my parents were heavily into New Age philosophy and Eastern religions. And I myself continued in that tradition, getting involved with Yoga, meditation, and numerous types of psychic research until I got Saved in 1986. But in all of my years as a Born-Again Christian who has been dedicated to the Word of God, I have never seen anything as perplexing and frustrating as this. On the average, the people who flat-out deny the lordship and Saving Grace of Jesus Christ are the most beautiful, humane, generous, responsible people I have ever met, while the people who verbally worship the Lord Jesus Christ are the most hideous, inhumane, selfish, irresponsible people I have ever met.

I have seen the average Non-christian demonstrate a genuine concern for bodily health, eating only organic foods, natural foods, and foods that were not obtained through cruelty to animals. I have seen the average Non-christian regularly engage in physical and mental exercises, including Yoga and meditation, that increase the health and balance of body and mind. I have seen the average Non-christian go out of his or her way to treat the Earth with respect and reverence. And I have seen the average Non-christian go out of his or her way to fight for justice, equality, education, and human rights for all people throughout the world.

On the other hand, I have seen the average Christian eat the most sordid things under the Sun, including red meat laced with chemicals and growth-hormones, heavily-processed fast-foods containing absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever, and foods laced with fat, grease, cholesterol, alcohol, processed sugar, and salt. I have seen the average Christian refer to exercise as walking to the refrigerator to microwave several slices of pizza and grab a cold beer, and then walking back to the lazy-boy couch to continue watching the NFL Playoffs. (Both that and the aforementioned grievously poor diet explain why so many Christians are horrendously obese.) I have seen the average Christian place his or her own selfish luxuries above the well-being of the environment. ("So what if global warming destroys the Earth several decades from now? I still want my gas-guzzling super-sized SUV right now!") I have seen the average Christian prefer corporate greed over the rights of the people. (Some of the most selfish, greedy, avaricious, conservative, racist Christians are at the very core of the American Republican Party.) I have seen the average Caucasian Christian go out of his or her way to call African-Americans the "N" word, burn crosses on an African-American's front lawn, hang innocent African-Americans from the highest trees, and paint Nazi swastikas on Jewish temples. I have seen the average Christian engage in the most hypocritical behavior, like claiming to be "Pro-life" while savagely gunning down an abortion doctor in his own church. And I have seen the average Christian routinely indulge in perverse sexual immorality, including the repeated violation of marriage vows, the rape of innocent children, and repeatedly having children outside of wedlock.

At this point, I can only say that these are the days when good is evil and evil is good. These are the days when the church is so corrupt, the world is filled with strong delusion, that people should believe the lie. And these are the days of a church who calls herself rich, increased with goods, and having need of nothing, when in reality she is wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.

The Destruction of African-Americans through Thug-Music

For decades, Satan has been doing his best to destroy African-Americans and African-American history. But for the most recent two decades, Satan has been succeeding, not through some new segregation policy, not through some new rash of hate-crimes, and not through some new terrorist hate-group, but through taking African-American thugs, criminals, and gangsters out of prison and off of death row, then paying them billions of dollars to flood African-American society with a music and culture that glorifies violence, lust, misogyny, narcotics, crime, and blatant ignorance. Young African-Americans are being thoroughly deceived by this thug-music, and many of them actually believe that a thug’s life is something to be desired. What they don’t realize is that when Satan has finally succeeded in thoroughly erasing African-Americans as a people, the thugs who were instrumental in that erasure will likewise be erased, in the blink of an eye, and not one penny of their wealth will save them in that day.

"The Rise of Global Imperialism"

Absolute power is never shared. Throughout all of human history, the most enduring governments were not democracies, but monarchies and empires, where there was only one king, one emperor, one Lord, and everyone else was subject to his dominion, his power. Even in this so-called democratic modern society, there is always the emergence of one strong leader, to whom everyone else feels compelled to subject themselves. Nevertheless, with the rise of the Information Age, the global economy, and continued progress towards a truly universal world currency, the harvest is ripe for the establishment of a modern-day global empire, where one world leader has absolute power over everyone else. Even with extremely exponential advances in culture, science and technology, the terrifying cataclysmic threats resulting from such advances have also created a global political climate in favor of unprecedented absolute power. The same phenomena that drove the "Pax Romana" at the height of the Ancient Roman Empire also drive today's modern world: people want peace and safety, and in the days of the Roman Emperors they had a lasting semblance of those things, with one strong leader holding the entire known world together. In the modern world, there exist extremely covert elements of power who are poised to exploit the aforementioned global political climate in order to establish a truly global empire, where all the world's territories, resources, businesses, corporations, sciences, technologies, information systems, militaries, governments, societies, and peoples are absolutely subject to one strong leader. The only thing currently standing in their way is the existence of a successful democracy known as the United States of America. Because America has become a shining beacon of democracy in the modern world, a successful testament of a government by and for the people, and an enduring legacy of civil rights, equal rights, and human rights, America's very existence is the mortal enemy of global imperialism. As such, in order for the covert elements of power, the global imperialists, to successfully achieve their goal, the shining beacon of democracy must be disgraced, humiliated, and ultimately extinguished, with even the very fable of America reduced to nothing more than a shameful proverb and a ridiculous byword.

The most heinous atrocities can take place under cover of absolute secrecy. It wasn't until the Allied Forces invaded Nazi Germany that the full, horrific magnitude of the Jewish Holocaust was completely revealed. Had there been no money-trail between the Watergate burglars and President Nixon's Administration, Nixon would have gotten away with thoroughly undermining the Democratic Party. It was even discovered that Nixon secretly recorded every last private conversation that took place in the White House. And more recently, textile manufacturers and fashion outlets in America were charged with utilizing foreign slave-labor to manufacture the goods, with some of the sweat-shops located right here in the United States. Add to this list the following. American government covertly invades all of civilian privacy with top-secret electronic surveillance that has been conducted since the 1940s. American government covertly experiments with venereal diseases on unwary African-American populations in the 1950s. American government conducts top-secret mind-control experiments, which have taken place since the 1950s. And strong evidence has surfaced, alleging that the attacks of September 11
th, 2001 were covertly carried out by an unholy alliance between the Bush Administration and corporate oil in order to establish an overwhelming national climate in favor of invading Afghanistan and Iraq. The limitless possibilities of absolute secrecy are now quite painfully obvious, if not altogether hideous. If the American people were to ever truly find out exactly how much of the nation's wealth and property are owned by foreign, multinational, and global corporations, versus how little of the same wealth and property are actually owned by the nation herself, the outrage might just spark a second American Revolution. In absolute secrecy, the most powerful people can imagine the most diabolical things. And with decades of absolute secrecy, even centuries, global imperialists can craftily orchestrate the conquest of the world. It was argued that certain members of the Masonic Order, including President George Washington himself, may have actually been the forerunners of our modern-day global imperialists, and that the birth of America was merely a stepping-stone towards global domination. Evidence may have been found on the back of the U.S. One Dollar Bill, the front of which bearing Washington's face. To the left is a drawing of a pyramid, with the cap-stone replaced by an eye within a triangle. Around that pyramid is a Latin inscription that reads "Annuit Cœptis Novus Ordo Seclorum," which roughly means "[He] Approved [the] Undertaking [of the] New World Order." "Novus Ordo Seclorum" means "New World Order," and President George Herbert Walker Bush (also a Mason) used that very phrase in his speech announcing the first invasion of Iraq in 1991, also known as "Operation Desert Storm" and "The Persian Gulf War." In the 1980s, when the same George H. W. Bush was Vice President in Ronald Reagan's Presidency, Reagan laid the foundation for the foreign ownership of American businesses and property, which became a forerunner of the modern global economy. At the same time, American labor forces within the very nation herself were being replaced by cheap immigrant labor, which became a forerunner of job outsourcing and offshoring. While on the surface all of these actions appear to be the result of rampant corporate greed, political corruption, and a heinous conflict of interests, the real, covert reason is the intentional, methodical, patient dismantling of the American democracy. America is becoming a nation that no longer belongs to herself, and her people as a whole have so little wealth (and so few means for acquiring wealth) that they have absolutely no way to defend themselves. And although the aforementioned Masons have been named as the global imperialists, they are not. The true global imperialists, a very small handful of extremely powerful people, are a super-secret sub-group derived from many super-secret sub-groups, which in turn are derived form many other super-secret sub-groups, which in turn are derived from many secretive groups like the Masons, the Trilateral Council, the Bilderberg Group, or the Skull and Bones. In reality, the global imperialists have neither a concrete name nor a place for their group, and going after them would make as much sense as fighting alone against a gigantic hundred-meter-long multi-headed hydra that also happens to be invisible. Until the global empire is fully established, no one will ever reveal the true identities of the global imperialists with hard evidence. And if you find that evidence, they will make sure that you never publish it, ever.

The problem with most Americans is that they don't get the big picture. They don't realize that their very nation and democratic way of life have huge bullseye targets on their foreheads and chests. And those who pride themselves on political activism have absolutely no idea what true activism really involves. It has to be much more than merely amassing huge numbers of people in the streets for hours of vocal protest. In fact, the aforementioned global imperialists simply laugh at such ridiculous protests while continuing to destroy America. The root of the average American's nearsightedness is "the luxurious consumer mentality" he or she has been brainwashed with since birth. With this mentality, emphasis is placed upon selfishness, wealth, pleasure, luxury, lust, gratification, and outright greed. Elements such as integrity, virtue, respectfulness, intellect, education, discipline, responsibility, culture, history, and memory are completely overshadowed, if not altogether abandoned, by the same mentality. As long as the American mind is kept inundated with these emotional torrents of unbridled hedonism and selfish greed, the ability to defend American democracy will remain dismantled. As such, Americans need to treat the luxurious consumer mentality as though it were the most lethal poison ever created. Now don't get it twisted. There is nothing wrong with you having things. But there is something terribly wrong when those things have you. And because of the luxurious consumer mentality, most of today's Americans belong to their things instead of their things belonging to them. As such, a luxurious consumer is nothing more than a glorified slave, and slavery is the mortal enemy of any democracy. Once the American has successfully eliminated the luxurious consumer mentality and all of its debilitating influences, he or she will then have a clear view of all the cash-flows and pertinent laws threatening to completely wipe out the American democracy. He or she will then know exactly how to completely cut off those cash-flows, overturn those laws, and then build wealth and assets that actually support democracy. Just like talk is cheap, vocal protest is worthless without appropriately organized legal, political, and financial action on every possible level. If it means actively boycotting every product or service produced by businesses that are directly or indirectly responsible for job outsourcing, offshoring, foreign slave-labor, unfair trade practices, environmental pollution, and a blatant violation of human rights, then it must be done. If it means refusing to support any politician or impeaching any politician who directly or indirectly supports the aforementioned unscrupulous businesses, then it must be done. If it means overturning laws made by the aforementioned politicians, then it must be done. And if it means that the American people must actively found their own grassroots organizations, build their own businesses, raise their own politicians, and pass their own laws to protect and defend democracy, then it absolutely must be done. The American people absolutely must put their money where their mouth is. Otherwise, no matter how many protest rallies there are, democracy will still fall.

At the same time, another major obstacle the American people must overcome in their defense of democracy is fear, especially the fear of death. Benjamin Franklin once said, "They that can give up their essential liberties to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." As such, the American people must remain determined in their defense of democracy, regardless of how viciously the covert elements of global imperialism destroy American property or kill American lives. Americans must understand that, in all honesty, global imperialism has long since declared war against all forms of democracy. And wars involve bloodshed. If the American is not ready to die for democracy, then he or she will never be ready to live for democracy. And although there may not ever be any damages, injuries, or deaths among the American people, they still need to defend democracy as though there will be. In a world of mortals, true Americans must always choose to die on their feet, never on their knees. Benjamin Franklin and the other founding fathers knew this all too well.

But even if Americans know what must be done to defend democracy against covert global imperialists who occupy high offices of power, will those Americans do it? Given that the majority of Americans spent eight long years sheepishly allowing George W. Bush and Richard Cheney to wreck the economy, make their nation the number-one polluter with regards to global warming, strip the common man of all human rights, turn the word "patriot" into a McCarthy-Era guillotine, and terrorize the nation into fighting two costly corporate oil-wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, what shape are the American people really in? And are the American people really in any shape to defend democracy at all? Merely electing a friendly new President, or a "getting down to the nitty-gritty" President, or a justice and reform President will not, in any way, stop the present onslaught of global imperialism. In fact, if the worst of disasters befalls this nation and brings to light that good President's humanity (or worse, his or her mortality), then the emerging supremacy of global imperialism will only be hastened. As stated earlier, people want peace and safety. And in a world where such peace and safety have grown increasingly scarce even in the most civilized societies, what will people willingly surrender in exchange for that peace and safety? Their dignity? Their essential liberties? Their human rights? Their democracy? Many Americans have already sold out to that extent during the 9/11 Bush Administration, and their fearful acquiescence has only proven that global imperialism is winning, and democracy is losing. And to those American cowards who foolishly believe that it's better to live on your knees than it is to die on your feet, what makes you think you're still alive? What good is it to go on breathing, eating, drinking, working, buying, selling, copulating, or doing anything else when you've lost your very soul? And how can any amount of wealth, or luxury, or property, or goods, or friendships, or sexual pleasure, or anything else in this world restore to you your very soul, your very dignity, integrity, and virtue? As stated earlier, if you are not ready to die for democracy, then you will never be ready to live for democracy. And as long as you continue to fearfully avoid this responsibility by drowning yourself in the lifestyle of the luxurious consumer mentality, then you are nothing more than a glorified slave, and as such, you are actually the mortal enemy of the very democracy you claim to defend (if you even claim to defend it at all). You will only reap what you sow. There are some who believe that democracy already died long ago, while others believe that it was nothing more than an elaborate lie since its very birth. Whatever the belief, advanced technology and the Information Age may have actually tightened the grip of mass conformity and totalitarian control upon the minds of the people rather than setting them free. As such, the stage is already set for global domination, as mentioned earlier.

From a religious standpoint, particularly that of the Christian faith, the Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible speaks of a supernaturally empowered leader, "the beast" or "Antichrist," ruling over the entire world for seven years, with the first half of his rule bringing a false yet overwhelmingly deceptive peace, and the last half bringing cataclysmic destruction and horrific violence throughout the globe. In order for the Antichrist to fulfill his destiny of world domination, a global imperial system must already be in place or at least be ripe for fruition. And with regards to other religions and cultures, there is the "doomsday prophecy" expected to occur on December 21, 2012, a date that is approximately three years from today. To date, the Biblical Antichrist has yet to assume absolute global power, let alone be made manifest. And according to the Bible, the height of his reign is to last for three and a half years, with the next three and a half years being filled with absolute global catastrophe. As such, the 2012 prophecies may not signify the absolute End of the World, but rather, the Beginning of the End, the Last Days, even the definitive death of American democracy, and ultimately, the imminent and uncontested rise of global imperialism.
