HUMANITY IS LEAVING

All of humanity is leaving us. The idea that a person deserves a certain kind of treatment because they are the same type of being is dead. As humanity disappears other attitudes are filling its place. On the low end there is savagery. Men are knocking people out for fun and exposing themselves to women in public. Women are twerking in supermarkets and teaching their daughters to grind. We also have low principles such as injustice and indifference. Police officers are writing tickets and the courts are forcing you to pay when you have not violated any rule. Men are going into villages to kill other men and rape women as well as children. People are acknowledging the suffering of others and shrugging their shoulders because they are not interested in stopping the suffering. We also have high principles like justice and empathy. We only exhibit fair treatment whether good or bad. We actually show the suffering a way out of their suffering. If they have the courage to do it those people get better. Many people are retreating into inner rooms as the house of humanity disappears, but you do not have to wait until the last bit of humanity is gone to choose these other options. You can move out at this moment.

THE SPIRIT REALM

We have a physical realm which is the material world and we have a spirit realm. We can reach the spirit realm by way of deep meditation or sleep. The spirit realm is much better than the physical realm. In the spirit realm we are more alive. We come across objects and symbols that can seem strange or scary, but we have nothing to fear. Once I saw a large creature resembling a hippo with multiple eyes. I was not afraid because I know she was similar to an ancient representation of something. In order to make sense of the spirit realm you have to have a system of learning. Spiritual teachings, metaphysics, and/or quantum physics will help you on your journeys. If you want to do more than wander around the spirit realm you will have to learn, but once you know the basics about who and what we are you will be able to guide yourself with inner knowledge. The only problem I have is that I have to return to the physical realm. Building a reality in the spirit realm helps to make the physical realm bearable.

IN 2014

In the year 2014 I am going to continue to expand my field of consciousness. That is what I am doing every moment. I have reorganized the Freedman School in order to provide new lessons every week. I offer reviews of music, movies, and books with purpose of encouraging others to engage with these works for themselves. I also offer lessons questioning such concepts as democracy and social events like inner city shootings. My internet library has been organized for use for about a year and will grow if it receives the proper support. In 2014 I will continue to share my ideas in my multimedia blog. I wrote a lot of short stories in 2013 and will continue to write in 2014. I started a new series called planet. I also started a philosophical series called Mind. I will build upon my body of work in 2014. Maybe I will move from starving artist to an artist who can feed himself. All I can control is what I produce. The support these productions get is out of my hands.

HOWARD ZINN SPEAKS TO ME

Howard Zinn speaks to me. We talk about how many points of view a single event can have. I always look at an event from at least three angles. I view it from the beings that inflict the event, the beings who suffer from the event, and the environment where the event happens. Zinn and I also talk about how many mistakes that we are suffering through could be avoided if we just knew the real events of the past. Not only do most of us not know what happened 100 years ago, but most do not even remember what happened 10 years ago. Some communities repeat mistakes every year. We often discuss how transformative movements have become difficult only because too many people do not want to do the mental work necessary. They would rather spend valuable energy maintaining life styles, leaving the quality of life in such a poor state.  

COMMUNITY POLICING

I have introduced the idea of community policing repeatedly for the last decade. Maybe you all are tired enough of losing your children and falling prey to the tyrants roaming our streets in uniform. Maybe now you will embrace the idea of community policing, so I will discuss it yet again. We could pay young adults to protect and watch over our children. We could pay unemployed men to protect the women in the community. This means making sure they get from their transportation into their homes safely. We could ask any strangers in the community if there is any way we could help them. The attention will scare away those who mean us harm and help legitimate strangers find their destinations. We could use our phones to record anyone violating rules of the community, even law enforcement officers. The best part about all of this is that we do not need anything from outside to help us carry out community policing. We could start right now if we wanted. I meet my wife every night at the train station to make sure that she gets home safely. I would gladly work to expand this security to others in my neighborhood, but they are not interested. Maybe you are interested.

WHAT YOU LEARN IN COLLEGE

You can learn a lot in colleges and universities. You learn that the deeper knowledge is in the library while the classroom skims across the surface of information. You learn that if you were born a have you really do not need to complete college. If you were born a have not college really will not help you much these days. You learn that professors can design classes that everyone can pass or that no one can pass. You learn that the interesting subjects like art and philosophy never earn you a good paying job, but since there are not too many of these jobs around today you might as well study what you like. I would not go to college if I was young today, but colleges and universities do have lessons to teach.

SEEING THROUGH JEWISH WINDOWS

Sometimes I look through my Jewish neighbors windows. I see bookshelves full of books. Some of the books are volume works. I never see televisions or television lights coming from Jewish windows. I think about how nice it must be to have so much information without being forced to defend how much space these books fill. I also think about how great it would have been to grow up around so much knowledge. I was a curious child, but my community did not encourage study. I was considered a strange child because I wanted to know. I grew into the curious adult that I still am, but it is a daily battle to maintain my hunger for knowledge. I am told that it does not make money to gain knowledge and share knowledge so it should be a side activity, a hobby. I fight to keep a system of study alive. If improving the mind is a hobby and the mind is who we are, how can I do anything but to study? This battle comes at a price in my community. I live as a destitute while so many of my people die of stupidity with plenty of resources at their disposal. I have also lost many friends in this battle. People rather not have someone around that is informed because their stupidity is blissful. It would be nice to go into the Jewish homes, sit down, and read something, but all I can ever do is look through the windows and think of what might have been if I were born into a different kind of community.
