Do not be jealous of the wealthy, and rejoice at their good fortune

I was born in the heart of the poorest African nation

I used to live on a dollar a day. We were neither happy nor unhappy. It was all we knew. Then a foreign man came up to me and said "we have come to help you". Which was quite a surprise because it was clear to all my friends this man usually comes to rob me. He said "look at all those rich people in that land, why should they have all the wealth and you none?" I'd never thought about it before. All I knew was that the poorest people in his land relative to me, were incredibly wealthy, the poorest among them! And these 'poor' ones were always exploited by this man with his story to me about them.

Wealth is not earned. You may do work. But everyone does that! It is granted as a divine gift. Pay respect to those who've been given it. And rejoice that one day you may be given it too.

The Sun spoke to me today,

"Robin, you are not of this world,

You have believed this for a long time.

But you have not known it yet,

Start knowing it,

Open the door."

The Woman at the Market

In the shop a woman was looking at me,

Smiling, but not quite smiling,

I didn't really notice her.

But I knew her intimately, yet didn't know her.

Outside I looked across the empty market square,

The woman was there again,

Smiling at me, but not quite smiling,

Wrapped up in a long coat, wool hat, red lips, dark hair,

Attractive, but not quite attractive,

Then, I was standing in front of her,

She held out both hands, palms up,

I reached out and joined her hands,

On a bitter cold day they grasped mine warmly,

She said "that was the Sun speaking to you".

I looked up at the sun shining brilliant over the hall,

Looking back, she had gone.

What is my biggest disappointment in the world?

It is that everybody lies, everything is a scam and everything is staged. And that this is the general rule. And that without exception that everyone denies this. Now I'm not asking that I stop and people stop doing this at all. I'm not trying to paint a dark picture. It is observed. I'm disappointed that no one will suspend all beliefs and start observing this obvious widespread fact right in front of their faces. That is my biggest disappointment in the world. The darkness is that no one will observe it happening.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
