Open-minded beings and fellow truthseekers...& myself without social conditioning. Please be somewhat real, with an actual photo of you, your real age, and some description of yourself. It's just more personal that way.

About this years elections...
Does it matter who we vote for unless our votes are actually counted?...and will it matter who's in office if two parties can't agree from where to order lunch?
Electing a new president hoping they will cure the nations problems is like an AIDS patient taking an aspirin and expecting to be healed.
We need to break down the government... lord knows they don't represent me in the least, and it makes me so happy that my money is used for killing inocent people... men with the face of my brother, women with the face of my lover, and children with the face of my child. What place is this that we call home?
Let's just relax for a bit
No offense if you're not displayed here on my friends list... How could I categorize you? I'm not going to sit here and rank you... too petty. You're my friend thats all that matters! :D

it sucks my brain... I don't usually enjoy something designed to control my mind. Give me a book instead.
About TV - It is so fun to watch, and an escape from whats real. It's so easy to turn on and veg in front of it, forgeting your worries...being entertained at the drop of a hat. It's designed to be fun...designed to be addictive. But try living without one... it's better than having one! Most people are surprised how much they get done... how much time they have... time to discover themselves. But don't worry... it's not like I'm gonna smack you for watching it! lol..
To educate oneself with real truth, one must look behind the veil of money-driven sources. - Kip

Acurate description of how I feel much of the time.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet ~ Albert Einstein
We pray on Sundays that we may have light, to guide our footsteps on the path we tread. We are sick of war, we don't want to fight, and yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead ~ George Bernard Shaw
I am in favour of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being ~ Abraham Lincoln
Would you eat meat if it was YOU that caged, tortured & slaughtered defensless animals while they looked at you with pleading eyes? Can we really turn a blind eye? - Kip

Thinking books that open awareness. (Not much time for anything else...except Harry Potter hehe)
Below: Neale Donald Walsh - from CWG 1
“What the soul is after is- the highest feeling of love you can imagine. This is the soul’s desire. This is it’s purpose. The soul is after the feeling. It already has the knowledge, but knowledge is conceptual. Feeling is experiential. The soul wants to feel itself, and thus to know itself in it’s own experience.
The highest feeling is the experience of unity with All That Is. This is the great return to Truth for which the soul yearns. This is the feeling of perfect love.
Perfect love is to feeling what perfect white is to color. Many think that white is the absence of color. It is not. It is the inclusion of all color. White is every other color that exists, combined.
So, too, is love not the absence of an emotion (hatred, anger, lust, jealousy, covetousness), but the summation of all feeling. It is the sum total. The aggregate amount. The everything.
Thus for the soul to experience perfect love, it must experience every human feeling.
How can I have compassion on that which I don’t understand? How can I forgive in another that which I have never experienced in Myself? So we see both the simplicity and the awesome magnitude of the soul’s journey. We understand at last what it is up to:
The purpose of the human soul is to experience all of it - so that it can BE all of it.
How can it be up if it has never been down, left if it has never been right? How can it be warm if it knows not cold, good if it denies evil? Obviously, the soul cannot choose to be anything if there is nothing to choose from. For the soul to experience it’s grandeur, it must know what grandeur is. This it cannot do if there is nothing but grandeur. And so the soul realizes that grandeur only exists in the space of that which is not grand. The soul, therefore, never condemns that which is not grand, but blesses - seeing in it a part of itself which must exist for another part of itself to manifest.The job of the soul, of course, is the cause us to choose the grandeur - to select the best of Who You Are - without condemning that which you do not select.
This is a big task, taking many lifetimes, for you are to rush to judgment, to call a thing “wrong†or “bad†or “not enoughâ€, rather than to bless what you do not choose.
You do worse than condemn - you actually seek to do harm to that which you do not choose. You seek to destroy it, If there is a person, place or thing with which you do not agree, you attack it. If there is a religion that goes against yours, you make it wrong. If there is a thought that contradicts yours, you ridicule it. If there is an idea other than yours, you reject it. In this you err, for you create only half a universe. And you cannot even understand your half when you have rejected out of hand the other.â€
Bob Ross :) When I was a young whipper-snapper, I would get up saturday mornings just to watch him on PBS... the originator of "the happy accident"
Anyone who listens to, and acts on their dream. A starving Artist is someone who starves their dream in the pursuit of security. I've been inspired by so many who have acted on their dream...
& those who show us not just who we can be, but who we actually are. (Pure Potential)
"On A Clear Night"

Our Deepest Fear
Is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?â€
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us, it is in EVERYONE.
And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson

A very real extraterrestrial skull found in a cave in Northern Mexico
A comparison to a human skull. One of the many hard evidence people have been waiting for. It's everywhere if we look. The skull is found to be half as heavy, yet twice as strong.
A very real photo of the very real & forgotten L.A. Air Raid of of 1942 where a large unknown object was repeatedly fired upon in the sky.
Iapetus - One of Saturn's Moons "The Yin Yang Moon"
Same Moon - Who built this 12-mile high wall around the equator?
Stephenville Texas footage of 3-d hieroglyphics flashing in sky. This was NOT the ufo's that were reported... simply different phenomenon. Give it a minute to kick in... very clear footage at times. Some abductees are taught to understand mass amounts of data within these type of symbols. (Like reading a whole book in one symbol.)
I am an Artist, here to create... and perhaps stir things up. I try to recognise the truth in all things. Love equals truth, the only truth... Fear is the illusion, created for us to see beyond. What better way to appreciate who and what we are than to experience a taste of what we're not?
Isn't it a fantastic game? Is anything really possible?... Sure. Maybe you doubt it to be true, and that is your personal belief system, your hologram you've created. In a sense, it is your truth, as there are as many truths, (at this level), as there are people on the planet. There are infinite parallel universes for everyone to experience multiple realities. Like a video game, all the moves are programed in, all you do is choose the moves. In my constantly evolving hologram there are visiters from other worlds, other times, other dimensions, magick, peace, unlimited possibilities. I've had unexplained experiences, out-of-body experiences and have seen multiple other-worldly crafts.
So - this is me, and this is you. Our separation is just a temporary illusion. Science has already proven this. Once we all accept this, we'll come to realize the senseless act of going to war with ourselves... and peace will be found once again. It's not far from now... infact there is only now, this moment. Time is a necessary part of this amazing illusion.
