Bitter Harvest: Starting out

Don Quixote de La Mancha

My Philosophy Of Life

In 1969, when I got out of the hospital after my spinal surgery, while in Anthropology class, when the teacher was talking about "belief systems" in the human condition, I began doodling at my desk.

I created this graphic. It represented, and still represents, for me, my ultimate goal in life.

I have always thought that life is made up of sets of life. I, am the sub-set of my family. And my family is the sub-set of all life.

And thus, I believed then, as now, that if I work first for all life. and only for all life, that in by so doing, I am therefore automatically working for my family and then subsequently for myself; since my family is a sub-set of all life and I am a sub-set of my family.

And so, all of my life, I have worked as hard as I could and can to help all life. For by doing this, I am automatically working for myself and my family since we are truly nothing more than sub-sets of all life.

The Republican Party - Tea Party Track Record Fact Sheet

In July of 2010, the tea party and the republican party fought hard, all over the United States, declaring that the only way to help the poor was by SCREWING the poor as mu ch as possible. The republican party and the tea party took measures to make the entire world aware of the fact that, in the minds of the republican party and the tea party, the only Americans with any value, or should have any equal rights at all are the WEALTHY and those who are white Christians.

So I wrote this fact sheet to tell the truth about what the republican party and the tea party are doing TO the free citizens of America.

To date, the republican party and tea party refuse to answer, or to address any of the following facts of their combined action to SCREW the working poor in America.

While the tea party in the Republican Party will go out of their way to deny everything, the facts remain the same.

1. Did the Republican Party and the tea party, while at the same time refusing to take away any tax breaks or loopholes from the richest American people and the largest companies in this country? Yes they did.

2. Did the Republican Party and the tea party members of Congress behave in a symptomatic manner, meaning they targeted their action at fixing the symptom of the problem? Rather than to behave in a problematic matter where they targeted their action at fixing the problem? Yes they did.

The reason I say that is that, by cutting Medicare, all the Republican Party did was to go after the symptom of the problem. Because the actual problem for why Medicare is increasing so much is because cancer cases are skyrocketing. So naturally more people are getting sick.

3. Did the Republican Party or the tea party members of Congress do anything to resolve the root of the problem, meaning trying to help the sick who are becoming in desperate need of medical care? No, they did not.

4. Did the Republican Party or the tea party members of Congress give up any of their medical benefits for their salaries, or the," soft-money bribes", they are taking. While at the same time denying those same medical benefits for the money those cancer patients in the United States were dying right now, need in order to be able to survive? No, they did not. Republican Party and the tea

Party is refusing to give up any of their medical benefits or the money they are getting in their salaries for the soft-money bribes they are taking. While at the same time taking away the medical benefits and the money that cancer, patients who are dying right now need in order to survive.

So how does that work? How are the Republican Party and the tea party members? Good Christians when they are in fact condemning millions of cancer patients to die, while the Republican Party gets all the medical benefits and the tea party gets all the medical benefits and the money they want?

5. Did the Republican Party and the tea party refused to compromise repeatedly regarding trying to fix the economic system? Yes they did.

6. Did the Republican Party and the tea party lied to the American people when they said that their particular economic plan would be good for the economic system of this country? Yes they did. Because as a result of what the tea party and Republican Party did, by refusing to compromise for the greater good, global economic systems around the world have had the worst economic crash in modern history.

7. Did the Republican Party and the tea party violate their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution with their lives? And to secure the rights and liberties of the American people, when the tea party and Republican Party are in fact taking, soft-money bribes, from the richest Americans in this country and the largest corporations in this country, in order to give the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations in this country special access to the legislative process. Which of course violates their oath of office? Yes they did.

8. Did the Republican Party and the tea party members of Congress actually elevating themselves above the people of this country by keeping the medical benefits that they want and the money they want, while at the same time denying those same medical benefits and money to the people they represent who are in fact legally defined under constitutional law as the employers of the members of Congress? Yes they are. Under constitutional law is against constitutional law for any member of the United States Congress to elevate themselves above any American citizen. Meaning, that the members of Congress are not allowed to have special rights or privileges or be treated better than the people they represent.

9. Are the Republican Party and the tea party members of Congress actually in violation of federal law as a result of not maintaining economic equivalency to the people they represent? Yes they are.

Under federal law, pursuant to constitutional law, it is against the law for any member of Congress did not maintaining economic equivalency to the people they represent. Meaning, that any member of Congress must in fact be able to economically relate to the people they represent. So how is it possible for the members of the United States Congress, specifically the members of the tea party and the Republican Party to be able to economically relate to the people they represent. In addition, the people they represent are for the most part losing their homes with many of them going hungry. While at the same time, the tea party and the Republican Party are getting all the medical benefits and money they want?

The tea party and the Republican Party will go out of their way to lie to the American people. This is what they have done. Continually ever since, they ever came into being. Because they don't know how to be honest. However, the fact of the matter still remains. Every American citizen in this country to the same old. Every American citizen is required to lay down their life defense of the Constitution. That is the law. In addition, for any American citizen to ever supplant their duty to sacrifice their life in defense of the Constitution with any agenda of religious or otherwise, is an act of subversion of the Constitution and a violation of constitutional law. That is the law.

So while the members of the Republican Party and the tea party can yell and scream about how great they are. The fact is that what they get. As a result of their unwillingness to compromise for the greater good has basically crashed every single major economic system in the entire world.

10. Did the Republican Party and the tea party squander the time they had to resolve the deficit crisis long before July 2011? Yes they did.

The Republican Party and the tea party did everything they could to destroy the economic system. In addition, they did so not with the intention of helping me people of this country. They did so as every new service has confirmed, with the intention of doing only one thing. To destroy the Obama administration. In addition, is that not a violation of their oath of office? Yes it is.

Because the members of Congress are not allowed under any circumstances to put any agenda personal or otherwise ahead of their duty to sacrifice their lives in defense of the Constitution. That is the oath they took. However, by putting the importance of wanting to destroy the Obama administration. I had their oath of office actually violated federal law.

11. Did the tea party and the Republican party violate federal law when they declared publicly that they would not raise the deficit ceiling? Yes they did. Because their duty is not to maintain a posture of obstructionism. Their oath of office is very clear. Which is to defend and protect Constitution with their lives. In addition, to secure the rights and liberties of the American people. Which they are not doing when they are in fact declaring that they will not raise the deficit ceiling the matter what.

12. Did congressional representative Jacobs violate federal law when he said that one of the reasons he got into Congress was to bring back traditional values to the American people? Yes he did.

By virtue of the First Amendment, every American citizen is allowed to have freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Nowhere in the oath of office does the oath say that congressional representative Jacobs has the right to define what traditional values are for all Americans. In addition, by doing, what he did and making that statement, he is abrogating and impeaching the civil liberties of all Americans under the First Amendment. Because Mr. Jacobs is basically taking it upon himself to define for all Americans. What thoughts all Americans are allowed to have pursuant to what traditional values are for all Americans. Yet Mr. Jacobs did not take that as an oath of office. That is not one of his duties or his responsibilities under constitutional law pursuant to his oath of office.

Some the matter what lies the Republican Party or the tea party might tell you. The foregoing are the actual facts of the matter. In addition, what is even more disturbing is that the Christian conservatives in the Republican Party and the tea party. I doing everything they can to destroy the Obama administration, which shows very clearly that they have an agenda that they are in fact supplanting as far as being more important than their duty as American citizens to protect and defend the Constitution. Which means at the very least that the Republican Party and the tea party are guilty of potential charges and the federal crime known as subversion of the Constitution.

13. Did the republican party or the tea party members of Congress do anything to fix the jobs, and/or unemployment, problems that America is facing? No, they did not.

The United States is a nation of laws. The United States is not a nation based upon any religious document. And what is even more disturbing is that the Republican Party and the Christian conservatives and the tea party are doing everything they can to abrogate them to impeach the civil liberties of the Constitution. Yet it is by the very laws of the Constitution that gave the tea party and the Republican Party and the Christian conservatives the right to demonstrate their hatred.

So how intelligent is it for the Republican Party and the tea party and the Christian conservatives to be attacking and trying to destroy the very document that gives them the right to demonstrate their hatred? That is exactly like trying to cut one's nose off to spite one's face.

Everyone loves to talk about the Constitution and how they have rights. The fact of the matter is every American citizen in this country to the same oath as an American citizen. Therefore, we all have the same legal duty. Choose to obey and to protect and defend the Constitution with our life. In addition, we are not allowed under any circumstances to have any agenda religious or otherwise supersede our duty to protect and defend the Constitution. Because the United States is a nation of laws. Not a nation based on any one particular religious document.

So again, the tea party and the Republican party can say anything they want. However, the fact of the matter is they are in violation of constitutional law. They have been shown as anti-American citizens. They have been shown that they are not patriotic. They have been shown that they have been using symptomatic logic where they in fact are targeting the symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. As a result of their unwillingness to compromise. They have basically caused the worst economic crash in modern history.

In addition, if that isn't enough, the Republican Party and the tea party had all of the month of April and May and June to resolve this entire matter. However, they did not.

Instead, they showed the entire American public and the entire world at the Republican Party and the tea party and the Christian conservatives were more concerned with their electability, then there duty to put up and shut up and do their jobs as American citizens, which is to give their lives defense of the Constitution. That is of course what they did not do.

That is why I am urging all like-minded American citizens to contact the Department of Justice immediately and to demand a full investigation into the actions of the Republican Party and the tea party and the Christian conservatives on the grounds of the federal crime of subversion of the Constitution and possible charges of insurrection against the United States and against the Constitution.

Oliver Wendell Holmes has said that it is impossible to defend and protect the Constitution when one is actively engaged in either abrogating or impeaching civil liberties that the Constitution embraces and protects.

The United States is a nation of laws. In addition, United States will remain a nation of laws, or the United States will no longer be United States.

Welcome...

... And Almitra said, '.. and please speak to us of love..'. And the prophet then said, '... love is that cup that holds the well of your life. It can only contain as much love as it has been burned with fire and the passion of that which has been your greatest pain, and sorrow. For love seeks naught but itself, and is fulfilled by aught but itself. For to understand love is to be wounded by your own understanding of love. For truly that which is the greatest labor is to love without reservation and without hope or agenda. For in truth work is love made visible...', (from the book, The Prophet, by Kalil Gibran Regarding Love).

Know this, all who pass this way. I am but a simple journeyman. I am what is called, a wordsmith. And thus, I am nothing to this world, other than through that which the powers beyond have seen fit to allow me to be, a voice, and a sound, that becomes the music of my words, my thoughts, my feelings, and all that I am, have been, and ever shall be. Thus, my work here is truly an act of my love made visible, for all who pass this way, and all who I have had the honor of knowing in the life that I have been given. Thank-You so much for visiting my journal. I am, and always shall be, honored by your presence.

What I Told My Darling Aileen. After Her Second Chemo Treatment

it was August of 2010. The second chemo treatment that Aileen had been given did not go very well. It left her with a rather significant scar and her Constitution was severely diminished. As a result, Aileen was transported back to MetroHealth medical center for auxiliary care in order to bring her vitals up.

It was the morning after she had been transported when Dr. Harrington and Aileen's brother and sister and I were all together in Aileen's room.

Aileen was informed that with her current physical constitution being so diminished, that she would not be able to survive another chemo treatment. Aileen became somewhat angry about this and looked at me and asked," why didn't anyone tell me that the chemo was not going to care anything?"

At this point, I took my darling Aileen's hand, and simply said, " Because if we had my darling you would not have tried as hard as you did."

Then, Aileen said, " Now what do we do?'."

I then said, " Now my darling, we become glad. We become glad that we are here right now. And then we are more glad when we make it to tonight. And then tomorrow, when we wake up. We become glad that we made it through the night."

And she said, " Then what?"

I leaned down close to my darling Aileen's face, and looked her in the eye and simply said, " Then, my darling, you die. But I will be right here. I'll always be right here."

My Den

This is where I sleep, and work on my computer. Bilbo, my oldest cat, is on the front of the chaise lounge. And that's Cleo one of the youngest cats by the window. And this chaise lounge was made in 1890. My grandma bought it for her first child, her daughter, Lilly Maschke. Lilly died in this chaise lounge, on the front porch of grandma's house when Lilly was just 26 years old. She had asked grandma to please get her a cup of tea. And as grandma stood up, Lilly looked up to her and said, "Ma, not too much sugar. I don't ever want to be too sweet." When grandma returned Lilly was gone. I've had this chaise loung all of my life. And while I never had the honor of knowing Lilly, I have felt that this one piece or furniture was grandma's way, and God's way and Lilly's way of making sure that she, Lilly, would always be a living presence in grandma's heart. And then, as I grew older, I understood that Lilly was also saying that she, while she never met me personally, she would be a light in my heart as well. So every night when I go to sleep, and I turn to say good night to my darling Leen. I also say good night to grandma, and of course to Lilly. Hi Lilly. I know it looks a bit old. But it's still here my dear. So, rest easy Lilly. I will never let your music or your sound fade. My den. Not much. But then what do I need? If I have a way to write the meditations of my heart and make the sounds of my soul, and I can be near my Lilly, grandma, and my Leen. What else do I really need?

My Back Opreration

In 1968, I underwent a massive back operation where my entire spine, from the shoulders up, was rebuilt.

The doctors, as you can see cut out 25% of my left hip, and turned the bone into bone chips, which they sewed to the top of my spine (where the notches in my back are).

But as a result of the surgery, my left hip and spine were fused as well as the upper portion of my spine (where the notches are).

During the operation, I also lost the use of my left lung which became collapsed, during the operation. As of my left lung never being able to re-inflate, I have not been able to lie flat, for more than about 1 minute, before I stop breathing. So I sleep sitting up in a chair.

Since both my nervous systems were completely severed during the operation, no pain medication has ever had any effect on me at all. Thus, as a result of this operation I have lived with constant pain, on a scare of 1 - 10, at a level of at least 8, every single second of my life since 1968. I have never taken any pain medication to deal with my pain.

My Battle With Throat Cancer

In 1969, I was just 19 years old when I got out of the hospital.

After my back operation, it was discovered that a portion of my throat had developed a form of throat cancer. The cancer was removed. But as soon as the doctors cut my throat open, the sound of my voice dropped about 3 octaves to where it is now, being rather raspy.

The Incision in the right side of my throat, in this picture, is where the doctors cut out the cancer in order to save my life.

At the time this picture was taken, I only weighed 93 pounds, and there was significant doubt as to whether I was going to survive or not.

The Saddle Ridge In Tucson, Arizona

Part of the way that the doctors were able to eliminate the cancer in my throat was that the doctors gave me mega-doses of Vitamin D and antibiotics.

The doctors also had me climb this 1 mile high mountain that was located just behind the school I where I attended, Southern Arizona School.

I had to climb this mountain every single day for a solid year to finally beat the cancer. In point of fact I went beyond what the doctors had told me to do. After the year where The Saddle Ridge every day, to cure my cancer, I then climbed The Saddle Ridge every single week I attended Southern Arizona School. The Saddle Ridge, in the Native American tradition, is known as a sacred mountain.

Financial Disparity In America

The Time I Met With And Photographed President-elect Ronald Reagan

In 1975 I was commissioned by a member of the republican party, to photograph President-elect Ronald Reagan at the City Club in Cleveland, Ohio.

Getting to the City Club about an hour early, Mr. Reagan and I had about 90 minutes to sit together and talk before the photo session.

During that time Mr. Reagan told me one of the most amazing things I've ever heard any politician in my life say.

Mr. Reagan told me that he wanted to be president because he felt that our nation had forgotten that the most important thing about America. He felt that Americans had forgotten that being an American means that we the people of America will love each other and our nation enough to stand by each other and the nation, no matter what.

To this day, I have always felt that what Mr. Reagan said to me that one time, has truly been something that has goes to the heart of what it means to be part of The United States Of America.

The Neural Tube

The neural tube is what is formed, in just 7 days, after the egg, inside the woman is fertilized.

The neural tube is formed when the nucleus flattens out and begins to form what will be the "brain stem". At this moment, just 7 days after fertilization, the first "emgrams" (the rudiments of the first memories) are being formed.

With all the arguing about when life begins going on in the world, it strikes me as ridiculous that more humans don't understand the reality of life itself.

The Neural Tube is one of the realities of the human condition and the so-called pro-life forces which is always conveniently forgotten.

Miy Pro-Life Statement

For the record, I am pro-life . I do not support violence against, or the killing of any human being under any circumstances! And the only way that I ever deviate from that stand is that I do not believe that God has ever given any human the right to dictate to any woman how she is to arbitrate her life with the Almighty, and/or God . Therefore, I believe that all women deserve the right to choose for themselves the fate of their own bodies, pursuant to their relationship with the Almighty, and/or God . My position regarding this statement is more fully explained in my article entitled: Second Gear.

My Statement On Religion

For the record, I do not now, nor have I ever hated any human being on earth. I do not hate, regarding my spirituality, and spiritual beliefs, anything that God did make. Meaning that I do not hate the “humanity” that exists within any human being. However, God did not make the personal choices that humans make, regarding how they behave, and/or present themselves, to the world. So if a human being chooses, of their own free will to demonstrate their behavior with racism, bigotry, prejudice, and hatred for other humans, on the basis of their own free will choice as to how they define their spirituality within themselves, that is their own choice. So I do not hate any human being for being that which God did make. I hate only the choices and the manner in which humans have decided to demonstrate their behavior to one another. I do not hate religion. However, I will never give my support to “any” religion, that has ever caused harm to, or killed, a single human being, in any way, as a result of the religion demonstrating, or manifesting it’s presence in the world. If any religion has ever harmed or killed a single human being, I respect the right of all humans to believe what they want in life. I, personally, will under no circumstances give my support for any religion, or theological belief, that has ever harmed or killed even a single human being. This is what I have dedicated my life to as a spiritualist and a pacifist here on earth. So any attempt by anyone to portray me as hating anyone is a lie. Because that is not so. The foregoing clearly shows that I have no hatred for humankind or for any religion.

My Darling Wife Aileen Terra, When She Was First Diagnosed With Liver Cancer

Child Abuse, Child Mortality, And Domestic Violence Statistics

Human Rights Statistical Extensions:

Child Poverty Statistics:

25,000 children die each day from poverty
1041 children die every hour due to poverty
17 children die every minute from poverty
750,000 children die every month from poverty
9,000,000 children die every year from poverty

Child mortality Statistics:

9.2 million children die every year
780,000 children die every month
26,000 children die every day
18 children die every minute

An estimated 9.2 million children under the age of five will die this year – nearly 26,000 per day or 18 every minute. This is greater than the annual number of deaths from 1. AIDS (2 million), malaria (900,000), and tuberculosis (1.5 million) combined. 2. Neonatal disorders, pneumonia and diarrhea are the major causes of under-five mortality.

Globally, 80 percent of all child deaths are due to only a handful of causes: neonatal causes, pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. 3. Pneumonia or sepsis, pre-term delivery, and asphyxia at birth are the leading causes of neonatal deaths. Malnutrition is responsible for over a third of child deaths.

From: http://www.globalhealth.org/child_health/child_mortality/

And, according to recent United States statistics, there are approximately 43,000 suicides that take place, in the United States every single year. That would be one suicide taking place, by children as young as 12, or possibly younger, up to our oldest citizens. Approximately every 15 minutes.

Not one single penny that the pro-life movement spends on their so-called pro-life movement goes toward saving any of these “living” children’s lives. Not one single cent. Which means that not one single cent of the so-called pro-life movement is being used to save any of the amazing children and absolutely fantastic women, and men, who are being killed, or suffering horribly, every single minute. so naturally, it becomes impossible to conclude that the pro-life movement is pro-life at all, if they will not even save the lives of living children and men and women. But will always only be concerned with, and define life as the “fetus” only. And THAT’S NOT how their own God Jesus Christ defines life, in their own Bible.

Which means that the pro-life movement is not pro-life at all. Because their money is “not” going to save any living life on this planet. Their money is only going toward forcing women to bear children against their will. And that’s not how their own God, Jesus Christ defines pro-life.

If The Almighty will not allow the smallest sparrow to fall from the sky, why, should we, the creations of that same Almighty, do any less?

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

With 78% of the population of the United States being Christian, (US Religious Demographic Statistics ) that also means that 78% of all the:

Crimes
Domestic Violence (national domestic violence statistics )
Rapes
Murders
Hate Crimes
Child Molestations
Child Abuse (US Child Abuse Statistics )

incidents that take place every year, are committed by approximately 78% of the population, meaning people who claim to be Christians. (US Religious Demographic Statistics ). And that is something that the Christian conservatives , and those who are Catholics, never seem to want to discuss, and in many, if not most, cases, will lie about. Unless they are forced to do so, and/or tell the truth, in a court of law.

And again, their own God, Jesus Christ says in their own Bible, not to judge anyone, and not to hurt anything that God makes. That’s anything. So, these statistics are really meant to illustrate about being responsible for one’s own choices and actions. That would be, in their own Bible, free-will choices and free-will actions.

Food For Thought

When it is considered that the dinosaurs, who were the dumbest creatures to exist in the history of the world, lived here for 200 million years, or 200 sections of time, and did not harm the earth in any way. Nor did they do any real damage to their own species. And then, when we look at humanity, meaning human beings, having lived here for approximately 14 million years or 14 sections of time we find that we have virtually destroyed the entire ecosystem for the entire planet, are on the verge of destroying our entire economic and social systems, the mind wonders...

How come we humans think we are the TOP OF THE FOOD chain, when we have done more damage to ourselves and the entire world, than the dumbest creature to have ever existed in the history of the world? How come we think we're the top of the food chain when the major byproduct of our existence has been to basically destroy the entire world, and ourselves?

I mean, humanity, a good idea, or God's way of telling us that "Intelligent Design" means that humanity is really the SOCK PUPPET of the universe?

The Tesseract

In 1972, I began work in the field of Newtonian Metaphysics, regarding my thesis of, the multi-deminsionality of informational signal recognition.

It was at this time that I corresponded, and worked with Dr. J.B. Rhine of Duke University, while he was working on his thesis regarding what has become known as, the tesseract. In short, the tesseract is a mathematical shadow of a 4th dimensional cube. And as such, proves, mathematically, that there are infinite dimensions to life.

I used the work of Dr. Rhine to help to establish my thesis that most of the information in the world is of the type that is multi-dimensionally defined.

Meaning that most of the information that we humans receive every day is not received or realized physically. Most of the information that humans receive every day is based in the non-physical realm of informational signal recognition.
