"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson~1802
Wouldn't you know it?! You go to earth for a little adventure, some fun and games, some learning and growing, and the next thing you know, you're trapped in a sea of illusions, trying to figure everything out with a little human brain, sweating the details, and desperately seeking approval and appreciation. Sounds like reality TV. Here's what to do..No, you don't vote everyone off. You just remember how things really work. You remember that the thoughts you choose to focus on, from this day forward, will become the things and events of the rest of your life, no matter where you've been, no matter what anyone else says, and no matter how scary things may seem to be. ~ The Universe
A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
Well, I am family man first of all!! I enjoy spending time with my family (Jennifer, my 4 boys, and my newest bundle of joy my daughter), which I do so every chance I get. I am also a working man; go ahead...ask anybody...they will tell you! If I am not at home, I am working. Now don't get me wrong..I like to have fun and alone time too. Fun-well that usually involves Jennifer, the boys, my daughter...and yes, even my Brother in Law and his wife. I am a Decided Purple Belt, l1 Certified instructor, 2005 State Champ in Sparring and Weapons in traditional songahm taekwondo (17-29/Color Belt Division)
I am a quiet person most of the time. I only seem to get loud when I am crossed. That being said...I try not to allow myself to get into a situation where that is possible.
"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Martin Niemueller
We can heal with our own energy. Meditation and research into all things spiritual. I believe in energy healing and that it has two forms self healing and assisted healing. I am in constant search of truth. What is truth? Truth to me is YOUR most direct path to knowing who you are and what you want in life.
I believe that we are all one and the world is heading for a spiritual awakening. An awakening of a couple of truths, truth that we can no longer live in our current situation, it's time to wake up and treat our planet like it should be treated, a most valuable resource. Truth that if you choose to believe in God, we are all children of God (which ever name you wish to call him, her, both, or energy), an all loving, non-judging God to which we all all connected to all the time and cannot be disconnected, for we all one with the creator. ~ 1/3/07

"He's every small wonderful thing that I have seen in every person wrapped into one. There is a quiet rage that he has that doesn't show to everyone, but I can see it. I have never met a better man in my entire life. Honesty, bravery, and strength abound; but he's my soft place to fall..." Jennifer M.~ April 23, 2006
