I Could Die At 50

  I often hear people go on about living to be 100 years old. I can see myself dying by age 50. I have written many short stories that are available on the internet. I am in the process of printing out paper versions just to cover my bases. I have put out at least 700 video classes watched by thousands of people, and as long as You Tube exists my videos will go on with or without me. If the masses of my community appreciated my work, and wanted to think, I would long for old age. My people hate thinking and find my brand of scholarship odd. I have created a body of work that is beneficial to anyone willing to engage with it. I am quite happy leaving it behind because to live too many years in a world that is out of place with my consciousness is exausting and bores me. - http://mtypencenter.com

The Power Of The Vatican

  You can call us conspiracy nuts for pointing out the power of the Vatican, but you cannot deny their power. Vatican City is completely independent of every other organization in the world. Police in Vatican City can do what ever they want. The Bank of the Vatican can do business with whom ever it pleases. The library in the Vatican has some of the most important knowledge of all time and allows no one outside of the church to access that knowledge. Every world leader bows to the pope and kisses his ring. Muslims, Jews, Christians, and Atheist, all bow to the leader of the Vatican. - http://mtypencenter.com

Agents, Agents, All around

   Government agents are everywhere, you just need to know how to spot them. Some agents are hired by law enforcement agencies to go into communities and stop any activity that will benefit the health and well being of the community. You will recognize this agent because they are to the community and will be screaming the loudest for violence. Another agent is the one that is a part of the community put on the pay roll. This agent is there to spy and report when activity that benefits the community are beginning, but always seems to have more resources than their ordinary job affords them. The other agent is the one who is not on the pay roll, but allowed to earn money destroying the community. This is the person that sells drugs, harms people, and hardly ever pays for it. If this agent goes to prison at all it is only for short periods. These agents can be male or female so be careful and be safe. - http://mtypencenter.com

What Will Happen Now That Pope Benedict XVI Has Retired

The pope in Rome has retired. I think that the next pope will be from a Spanish speaking country. It may be Spain or South America. Once they choose this person he will tour the world starting with South America to try to make the peoples there proud of the fact that the pope sounds like them. While the people are being proud of nothing, the elite will come in and give South America a 21 century raping. This means that everything will be destroyed for the physical pleasure of the wealthy elite, including the people, so that no one will be able to push them out again. This is what I think the Vatican will do, rather the people of South America fall for the scam is something we'll have to wait to see. This same thing has been done with Africans using Obama. African peoples are so enchanted that they welcome raping of all sorts home and abroad. The new pope will whisper sweetly to the Spanish speaking peoples of the world as the elite destroys them. - http://mtypencenter.com

A New Form Of Essay

I have been writing in a new form. I call it the short essay form. As an English teacher I fought my students to write four paragraphs in order to form a complete essay. That was the correct form as well as the acceptable form for standardized tests. In this era of twitter I have began to use a new form of essay. I collapse my whole essay into one paragraph. The introduction is reduced to one or two sentences in the beginning. The body can be as large as before, but not separated. The conclusion is one or two sentences at the end of the paragraph. I found this to be a good compromise in this post literacy age of the society I am in. The purpose of the essay is to get  a point across to the reader. I maintain that Purpose in these blogs with the new form of essay. - http://mtypencenter.com

Life Without Modern Economics

I say that we do not need the modern economic system. We will do better once we throw it away because it simply does not work. 190 million people in the United States are living at or below the poverty line in the United States. This is the official number so we know that the real number is probably higher. Those of us in poverty are higher than ever before. We work jobs for salaries that do not cover the price of rent, travel, and food. So why do we keep this system? Just image if the economy completely collapsed today and your paper notes and coins are worth nothing. Your home is still standing. Flowers and vegetables are still growing. Cattle still grazes. chickens still feed and lay eggs. Fish are still swimming. No part of nature cares about market forces because market forces are fabrications of people who come from nations with little resources in order to trick those of us that come from places with plenty. Economics causes homelessness and starvation. It is time that we move beyond this economics spell. - http://mtypencenter.com

Age Of Mysticism

We are living in an age of mysticism. Law and politics are not enough to get you through our times. I do not think that they were ever enough. Morality is not enough to get us through these times. Morality makes you feel bad when something goes wrong. We need principles that will make us change what is wrong, or not to do what is wrong in the first place. Mysticism and mythologies of old are the tools that can get us there. That is why so many of the Grimms tales are being presented in their original hard forms. That is also why all of the religions are turning to their mystical elders. Judaism is giving way to Kabalah. Islam is stepping aside for Suphism. Even Jesus freaks are having to turn to Gnosticism. What a glorious time for us scholars. All of the books, scrolls, and consciousness itself is opening up. Republicanism and modern economics is dead to all but a few communities. Though their hold is strong it will give way because Mystery is way hard core. - http://mtypencenter.com

Storms Are A Part Of Our Lives

The north east had another storm. As residents of the New York City we have to make the storms a part our lives. We have prepare bags with candles, flashlights, matches, etc. We also have to have canned good ready for us to eat. It would also help if we grew food some place near our houses or in apartments. We should have generators and electric heaters, if we can afford such materials. For those of us that are homeless it can work out for us if the city forces people into shelters for a period of time. Although, the way some of us treated the emergency shelters last time, I would not be surprised if we were never invited back. Storms are a new part of our living paradigms as the earth resets itself from our destructive ways to a more natural union. - http://mtypencenter.com

Erase Borders From Your Mind

We all take pride in our towns or cities, but the fact is that borders are breaking down more each day. I am an educator and I have shared ideas and provoked thoughts in multiple countries with a simple video camera and my private library, which is better than my public neighborhood library. I also learned from people around the world. With modern technology we do not have to overly depend on the so called wealthy nations. You know, those nations with little resources and too many weapons of war. Those poor people risking their lives scrambling across the border to work in the United States for a few dollars just to send even less dollars back home do not know what they are doing. With one simple device or computer they could learn how to grow their own food, clean their own water, and build their own houses. There is no first, second, or third world. There are just communities that use their minds and communities that toil without purpose. - http://mtypencenter.com

THE ZOMBIES ARE HERE!!!

Zombies walk among us. You see them every day, especially if you walk the streets of New York City. The zombies shuffle through the street, they don't actually lift their legs to walk. When you speak to these zombies they stare at you blankly or they answer seconds later. Stay away from these zombies. Right now they do not eat human flesh, but they are early in the zombie stage. The zombies do drain your energy. When you get frustrated and angry because they are in your way, when you scream at them for not giving you an answer, energy leaves you body and fills theirs. Keep your eyes out for and your distance from the zombies. You have been warned. - http://mtypencenter.com

A Spell On Ancient Peoples

The ancient peoples on this planet are under a spell. The descendants of great nations such as Lakota and Navajo Think that it is okay to languish on concentration camps called reservation and drink themselves to death. Descendants of the Mayan nations think that it is okay to wait on corners to be picked up, worked like mules, and paid almost nothing, if paid at all. These people often sneak on construction sites where they are working to have a place to sleep for the night. Descendants of and Kemites think that it is alright to let every other people govern their lives inside and out. I stand and say NO MAS WASICHUS-NTR - http://mtypencenter.com

We Are Carrying Problems That Do Not Belong To Us

For years I tried to fit in with others. I thought that I had the problem because I was in such a minority. I never thought this system was good for any of the people involved, but the others always said that I was the strange one. As I grew the distance between me and others also grew. They told me that I was right, but that I was unrealistic. I rejected that idea right away. The right is not unrealistic, the wrong is unrealistic. I started to know that almost everyone else was carrying a way of being that was problematic, but they continued because the masters of the system rewarded them with just enough physical comforts. It can best be understood by a conversation I once had where a woman said that I should make youtube videos that others wanted to see. I think that others should want to see the videos that I make. I share real knowledge in my videos. Right now I am homeless, without many resources, and pressure to quit by those who claim to love me most, but none of that is my problem. Those things are the problems of those who leave me without the resources to give them more information. So I always refuse to be held down by other people's problems unless they are traveling to reality. Then I will help them carry a bag or two. - http://mtypencenter.com

The Duality Of College/University

The college or university can be used in two ways. The way that most people use institutions of higher learning today is to go through them to receive a job and serve the now dead system. Remember that if you serve a dead thing it will seem alive as long as you serve it. The other way to use institutions of higher learning is to learn high level concepts and expansive ideas so that you can broaden the consciousness of your community. This is especially true for members of once oppressed communities. If you are in college or university it is important that you maintain that transformation mind and not flinch in the face of bills and student loans. Know this, we are in a new age that recognizes mind power.  The masses are still in transition because they fear what will happen when they come out of the illusion. I tell you it is good out here. This new world is such that even though I am about to be homeless, I can still produce information and share ideas. So do not fear anything. The worse that can happen is someone kills your body and releases your soul energy. - http://mtypencenter.com

The New Order Of Things

There is a world that exists in the minds of more enlightened beings on this planet. In this world no one pays rent. There are places to live filled with beings who need places to live. That is the way this planet always managed itself. All you need for an education is a curious mind and the willingness to learn. Scholars are here, although we are dying from lack of support. You will eat what the earth provides. This silly process of putting fences around land and charging for what the earth has been making forever must end. We will agree and disagree on what we perform as a group, no matter how small or large the group is. I do not think that anyone will miss the old order of things. - http://mtypencenter.com

It's About The Energy

All is energy. We are just small fields of energy. Energy does come in different kinds. The energy for Justice is different than the energy for Greed. The energy for Empathy is different than the energy for Injustice. What we are able to do depends on the energy that surrounds us as well as the energy that we are. Trying to be justice in a society that is almost completely filled with greed and corruption is almost impossible. I have noticed that in the last 5 years or so I have been living the high principles all the time. I call it living at the soul level. During this time I have worn myself out because I am surrounded by low principles. In this society low principles have shoved high principles all the way out. The principles are the same as the energy. I was writing my eulogy until the earth started to force its energy on all of us. The earth is of high principled energy. The low energy of our society fights the high energy of the earth and often destruction is the result. We can sustain ourselves in any conditions. I could live in a high rise or a hut. The new earth will be filled with those who can live this way. - http://mtypencenter.com

A Dying People

I am a part of a dying people. Five years from now you may not see another person who looks like me. The African has given up on life here. Others confuse our children and we do not object. Others give us poor healthcare and we do not object. Hospitals kill us at every age group from birth to the elders and we do not object. We are given food that no one else will eat and we do not object. We are told where to work and how to work for less pay than we deserve and we do not object. Foreigners arm the worst of us so that they can kill the best of us and we do not object. The modern African is laying down and dying.
