A beautiful song...


"May you grow up to be righteous, 
may you grow up to be true. 
May you always know the truth 
and see the lights surrounding you. 
May you always be courageous, 
stand upright and be strong. 
May you stay forever young."

Bob Dylan

Making it happen!


"No matter what it is, if you really want it, and if you get out of the way of it, it will happen. It must be. It is Law. It can be no other way. It's the way this Universe is established. If you want it and you relax, it will happen."

Heraclitus...


“No man ever steps in the same 
river twice, for it's not the same 
river and he's not the same man.”

Heraclitus

Vision...



"In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision."

HISTORY of the NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE


By Foster Gamble
http://www.thrivemovement.com/blog

Strange as it may seem, more challenging for me even than talking with people about Free Energy, conspiracies, banking schemes and ETs, has been exploring in-depth the one thing everyone we have spoken with agrees upon!

What’s that?

The Non-Aggression Principle — which says that no one has the right to initiate force against another except in true self-defense. It sounds obvious, right? Kind of like the Golden Rule…but it is actually beyond that. Maybe someone doesn’t want to be treated the way you want to be. The special power of the N.A.P. is that it is a rule, not just an aphorism. I believe it is enlightenment boiled down to the primary guideline for human relating. It doesn’t make anyone do anything, but it claims the right for everyone to protect themselves and others from rape, assault, murder, theft, fraud and counterfeit — even if the violation is by a so-called “government” or its tax collecting “authority.”

No one wants to be violated against their will, and my research has shown me more and more that this is the compass by which humanity could build a truly sustainable and thriving condition for all beings on Earth.

HISTORY of the NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE

300s BC Epicurus“Natural Justice is a symbol or expression of usefulness, to prevent one person from harming or being harmed by another."

”900s Islamic Theologians“Man can rationally know that man has a right to life and property.”

1689  John Locke“Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.”

1682 Samuel von Pufendorf“Among the absolute duties of anybody to anybody, the first place belongs to this one: let no one injure another. For this is the broadest of all duties, embracing all men as such.”

1722 William Wollaston“No man can have the right to begin to interrupt the happiness of another…yet every man has a right to defend himself and his against violence"

1790 Mary Wollstonecraft“The birthright of man…is such a degree of liberty, civil and religious, as is compatible with the liberty of every other individual…

1816 Thomas Jefferson “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”
“No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.”

1851 Herbert Spencer“Every man is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man.

”1859 John Stuart Mill“The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over a member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.”

1961 Ayn Rand “The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships…

”1963 Murray Rothbard “No one may threaten or commit violence (‘aggress’) against another man’s person or property. Violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. In short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. Here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.”

L. Neil Smith “No one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, nor to delegate its initiation.”

Walter Block “It shall be legal for anyone to do anything he wants, provided only that he not initiate (or threaten) violence against the person or legitimately owned property of another.”

The Lamp of the Nation ....

We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of
the Lamp of the Thai Nation, HM the King.
This loss is not only felt by the Thai people
but all those who shared his great vision and
compassion.  He was a great example to
the world and his selflessness will never
disappear from the hearts of those lucky 
enough to understand his purpose.

Apache Blessing...


"May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being
May you walk gently through the world
and know its beauty all the days of your life."

Peaceful death...


"Death is an inevitable cycle. But sickness before death is a symptom of resistance. Most people think they've got to get sick to die. But, you could be like the cat who chooses to get run over. Or, you could just lie down in your bed happily one night, so content and thoughtless, wanting nothing in this physical world; and just reemerge into Pure Positive Energy...You can play it out any way you choose."
