The Spell

The Myth Of Equality
By: Rotating Matter

Equality! the ignorant cry, for equally we will all die.

Many different political and religious systems claim that equality is something that can be, and should be, achieved. Is this a true idea, or a false belief based in the denial of fact? If one is to take a look at Nature, as a true intellectual observer, the fallacy of such dogmas shatter into billions of individual pieces. From cognitive thought and actual observation, one can detect that no two individual particles of physical matter can or do dwell in the same space. In such no two particles are, nor can be, equal to one another. A particle can be similar to another particle. As one particle can be measured in areas of observation, holding the same shape and mass of the companion particle. However being able to detect similarity, does not bring into existence equality. Equality, is a fictitious notion, of delusional appropriation, that no matter can obtain, and no amount of wishing can bring into being. Equality pretends to exist in the delusional world of parchment construction, not in reality, and even in the world of parchment is only said to exist and in fact still does not. For no two letters, no matter how similar in shape and size, can occupy the same space on a page. Nor can two individual thoughts, no matter the similarity in reflections, sustain simultaneous contemplation.

If equality is not obtainable tangibly should one seek to obtain it spiritually, mentally, or politically?

It is my opinion that the desire to propagate the notion of equality, is one of, if not the greatest, obfuscations of mental reflection. If the Mind of Man it to find Truth in Life, one must revitalize the individuality of the whole, in order to understand the harmonious symphony of The Creation. Each particle of thought, emotion, and matter exist individually from one another. Separation of space is the realm of existence, for in the void of nothingness dwells no thing. In this Divine Space, creation dances to the loving symphony of the soul, harmoniously radiating creation into being. Harmony of the whole of Creation brings joyful noise. Disharmony from destructive discord can break the cord.

Harmony of the "Family Unit" through conceptual construction of the individual, is paramount to peaceful existence in a communal world. If the family unit is brought into disharmony, this destruction of a individual cord, breaks the joy of community. The Individual "unit" truthfully existing, with individual desire, to cooperate willingly and knowledgeable, in the creation of family, with the intention of peaceful and thoughtful creation, is paramount in Man's continuation.

If one is to examine the microcosm with intent of forming a macrocosm, one need only to look at the individual Man. Each Man is built out of a trillion or so cells that are constantly propagating new cells and eliminating old cells. When the body of Man is brought into disharmony, either from outside or inside influences, the whole of the being deteriorates, through individual parts failing to play the correct cords of creation. The destruction of the symbolic concert of the body of one man, can be projected to the body of all Man.

Dare to be one, with knowledge of the importance of the whole. Harmony should be a goal not equality. For Harmony can be said to exist, while equality does not and never will exist. Reflection is needed in space for creation to take place.

Demanding reality conform to the delusional constructs of fallacious ideologies, creates a world in which Truth is masked by a mass of lies.

What say you?

Shall I, an individual creative piece, seek community through responsible individuality?
Shall I, respect the natural order of life?

The moment is here. Now exists no where else.

Fields Of Mind

By: Rotating Matter

Restful Winds
From the center of creation blows a breeze of reflection.
Demanding attention in the task of detection.
On the mind of one Man's perception.

Is the mind of Man rolling through flower fields of truth?
Or entombed in a corpse of lies?

Who is the one that must reflect on the mind?
Is not, all of ONE, the whole of the Mind of Man?

Mind sees the field of transcending light.
Cascading through the waves of the pasts reflections and the futures projections.
Creating a cocoon of mortal dimensions.

As points of reflection and projection
Come rest in the moment of stillness
One Mind finds Peace


Divinity Spring
Truth dwells in fields of light flashing forth in the projected mind of divine creation.
Eternal divinity springs forth from the breasts of material causation.
The toe knows not the nose for reflection flows where mind attention goes.

Externally eternal
Waves flow down mountains of snow
Cascading through the pine bough
All seeking rest
In creations nest

Circle patterns the flow
Inward and outward
Life spirals forth
Creating projections of worth


Yoke
Children suckle
Mothers creation
Grandfather chuckles
Fathers causation
Grandmother sings
Sisters dream
Brother explores
Hearts adore
Mind projects
Thoughts eject
Love binds
Natures sublime


Fight
The stillness of truth flutters on wings of light.
Stand tonight or you will loose this fight.
Join hand in hand in the moral plan.
Choose now what is right.
Come-forth Man, take control of your land.
Unwind from the confines of nefarious demands.
In you dwells external light.

The Child of God Eye

They are here today because their creators saw the way
As they taste the Universe free of hurtles placed in minds way
The children see the Sun rise of The Grand Day
All is new and wonderful as peace is assured with the fun of play

Love drips from the trees
As the fruit fills Mans needs
Pain floats away in a breeze
As Man falls to his knees
To commune with the bees

Join them now
Take a bow
Love is how
Free the cow

Grounded feet on the Earth
Caressing soil of Mans birth
Sowed the Seeds
Creation freed all from need

Eyes on the Sun
Feet on the Earth
Heart in Heaven
Mind in Creation
Eternity is Destination

You might not understand me
but if you can accept getting to know me
you will be able to see
what is
is the a result of both U and I

Therefor you can not know me
unless you know U
as I could not possibly
know I unless I knew thy

This is not something I write for U
but something that I write for time
This is to be as the strokes of the keys
flow the direction

I am the man that came
from the master plan
to be
hear now that I am
and I will be so long as I can
see for an eternity

They are the words that come and go
from the two that for
that by and buy from the phi in the sky
could not decide why
all the U's and I could walk the line

Was it forwards
or backwards
from space to place
or just a reflection
across the face

Is It Important How You Shutdown?

By: Rotating Matter

It is time to become conscious of the reaction as well as the action. The brain operates in a controlled pattern through the stimuli to the cells. The cells act in the same way a body reacts, obviously since a body is made up of individual cells. Bruce Lipton's work on the biology of the brain is very interesting and should be carefully examined under the microscope of the mind. With your mind, and as his work brings up, whose mind are you operating under? Have you examined it to make sure it was really yours?  Before you read any further you should check out the video "The Power Of Consciousness".

Once you have taken a look at the information you should be able to understand the importance of the question and can think it out for yourself.  Or if you don't want to waste your time thinking for yourself you can read on. Or maybe, you are just curious about what I have to say, so you can check it against your own thoughts.  What ever your reason the below is my thoughts on the information presented and my own expansions of thought.

The mind is the command center of the body it controls the functions of all the pieces based on the information it receives form the individual cells surrounding it. Where does that leave the brain? Are they the same thing isn't the mind a result of the the brain or is the brain a result of he mind.   Well as the great labyrinth, of so-called science, has revealed the operation of the brain, we can now reassess the question.  I refer to it as so-called science by the way because I have actually reflected on the origin and meaning of the word.  Science is not a thing it is only a method of observation and as such is only as good as the mind operating the cells in the current placement within the field. The field just another word for space, circular meanings and all. Didn't that placement have an effect or what? I really am asking you this question I already asked myself.  The placement of ones cells, that would be your cells or maybe the dogs cells they are just all cells by the way. If you weren't currently aware of that yet then you need to start paying a little more attention.  I'm not writing this so you can just read it I am writing it so you will actually think about it.  If you don't want to think about it then, what is presented will do you no good.

As I was previously saying, in case you missed it yet this is an internal dialog I am trying to have it with you, but you do not seem to want to listen. So here I sit writing the thought down instead so maybe you will stumble across it at some time and join the conversation. If this offended you it was your fence not mine. Now that you have joined in lets continue, and thanks to all those that were here from the beginning. The mind is the voice, the voice is the commander of the center, the center is the place were the information is processed that is downloaded from the field, the field is the potential information that is waiting to be processed by the sense of its reception.  Thats right it really is a circle.
Don't fight the flow pay attention to the direction of the receivers.

Make note of the information and check it against your consciousness. You know the part of you that actually takes the time to analyze. 

It is you? Is that all you are? Well that and cells acting together with a common goal directed by the thought.  Cells really are separate entities just like you processing information from the position within the experience. It is you the thought that directs matter not matter that directs you the thought.  And if you are directing the matter then it really is all your fault. That is not an accusation by the way, just a self discovery. I realize that it was my fault so I am just trying to tell you that I truly understand now how my thought or lack there of, has really effected you both directly and indirectly. Well maybe you haven't been paying attention to the direction of the matter because no one ever told you it was important. No one ever told me as well. I had to take the time to think and come to the conclusions myself by looking at, and examining the information I was receiving from the thoughts of others.

Now on to the main question, is it important to know, how to properly shut the signal down? I think it is.  My reasoning being that if the signal is directing the intentions of the field by relaying information back to the field by interacting with it.  You know when it exists as your existence is your interaction with the field.

What is the Matter?
Ya, I know, funny, is it?

I'm not going to answer the question for you by the way that would be impossible. Not that I could not answer the question, just that I could not do it for you. I answered the question already, and gave my reasoning but I can never answer a question for you. I am not such an arrogant prick to think that I know some thing you do not know only that I have taken the time to reason it out and if you take the time you will probably take it further. Then we can really start interacting with this field in a conscious manner. 

Why do I think it is important to interact in a conscious manner?
Actions and reactions of all thought, both conscious and unconscious, effects the reactions to the actions of the thoughts of the matter.

Circular?
Maybe its what makes the merry-go-round so fun?

The Power Of Consciousness

NATURAL LAW; OR THE SCIENCE OF JUSTICE:

By: Lysander Spooner

PART FIRST.

CHAPTER 1.

THE SCIENCE OF JUSTICE.

Section I.

The science of mine and thine --- the science of justice --- is the science of all human rights; of all a man's rights of person and property; of all his rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is the science which alone can tell any man what he can, and cannot, do; what he can, and cannot, have; what he can, and cannot, say, without infringing the rights of any other person.
It is the science of peace; and the only science of peace; since it is the science which alone can tell us on what conditions mankind can live in peace, or ought to live in peace, with each other.
These conditions are simply these: viz., first, that each man shall do, towards every other, all that justice requires him to do; as, for example, that he shall pay his debts, that he shall return borrowed or stolen property to its owner, and that he shall make reparation for any injury he may have done to the person or property of another.

Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

by Étienne de la Boétie

I see no good in having several lords:

Let one alone be master, let one alone be king.

THESE WORDS Homer puts in the mouth of Ulysses,¹ as he addresses the people. If he had said nothing further than "I see no good in having several lords," it would have been well spoken. For the sake of logic he should have maintained that the rule of several could not be good since the power of one man alone, as soon as he acquires the title of master, becomes abusive and unreasonable. Instead he declared what seems preposterous: "Let one alone be master, let one alone be king." We must not be critical of Ulysses, who at the moment was perhaps obliged to speak these words in order to quell a mutiny in the army, for this reason, in my opinion, choosing language to meet the emergency rather than the truth. Yet, in the light of reason, it is a great misfortune to be at the beck and call of one master, for it is impossible to be sure that he is going to be kind, since it is always in his power to be cruel whenever he pleases. As for having several masters, according to the number one has, it amounts to being that many times unfortunate. Although I do not wish at this time to discuss this much debated question, namely whether other types of government are preferable to monarchy,² still I should like to know, before casting doubt on the place that monarchy should occupy among commonwealths, whether or not it belongs to such a group, since it is hard to believe that there is anything of common wealth in a country where everything belongs to one master. This question, however, can remain for another time and would really require a separate treatment involving by its very nature all sorts of political discussion.

The State

Today psychopaths and schizophrenics are running around looking for the golden eggs of the lost dinosaurs. They peer behind the trees, turn over the benches, rip the leafs from the trees and burn the earth. Prying eyes look with the need of greed the want of lust and the urge of fulfillment. Every blade of grass is cut low leaving it exposed to the intense rays of the sun to be scorched for the shiny reflection that waits in anticipation. Around the corner and under the bridge the blue unicorns and purple jackalopes skip across the ashes of paradise drenched with the blood of their past meal.

These are the days of the Statist, believing in illusions and delusions willing to sacrifice children to glutton the stomach of death. They call themselves teachers, preachers, judges, congressmen, presidents, policemen, and so on and so on. In reality they are delusional fools, rapists, thief's, and murdering psychopaths who wear fancy coats, dark robes, shiny badges, funny hats, and blood stained shoes. The paper is holy, the pen is magical, the words written cast the spell. Citizens bow down to the written decry or the boot will be placed to your neck and the knife in your back. Titles and costumes surround the stage as the game is played, but who designed the board and what are the rules? Ah you dare to ask questions, shame shame now you will be labeled and soon disabled as no one dares question the tool.

But don't fret as your voice will be heard, just don't dare speak, your concerns will be taken, just don't dare complain, your life will be saved but only for the last breath. It is not theft if done by the many, nor rape if voted by many a dick, nor murder merely war.

On paper magic lines are drawn from theoretical here to the theoretical there. The names are placed and the boundaries are defined. One name against another the game will begin as the lines clash on the whim of the mystical pen. It is day one, with the smell of death in the wind. The days of the past are no more for it is now the clock shall begin. This is the world of fiction, where the players are but a few psychopaths, and the pieces a many bleeding fools saturating the fields of earth. The game is nearly over and it is time to tally the score.

The words have been written, the readers selected, the interoperation decreed rules. If you are wearing one of the many costumes with fancy hats or dark ropes strip down and make your decrees, for you are defiantly sane. A sane man knows of no mystical pens nor magic robes, for the artificial is powerless. So stand bare defending your holy words and precious maps for they are not your delusions, you are sane. You are not a mere pawn in the game but a master player with insights of strategy and knowledge of the rules. Leave your skin bare with no shame nor hesitation for truly the state is real, and your magical power is divine.

The many are but fools indoctrinated from birth to be blind to life only seeing what is dead. How did it come to be this way? I say it is the image that was put in your head. I invite you back to reality, it is were we shall go if you choose to be part of existence. Reality a most splendid place where the motions and emotions of objects in space, passing by and through each other, reflect the light of existence creating true presence. Life is the option, to be or not to be, that is the question now, now is forever.

There exists only one authority and that is the authority of the one. The one is the only, all else is only a collection of the one come together to appear to be the many. No other has, or will have, what Man has if you chose to take possession of it. You are the one and only authority of you, take possession of yourself. Possession of me is mine, and thee is thine. The law is natural, defined by reality, not by he or thee, nor the two or three.

 Mankind please join me in reality it is where you were intended to be.

The Truth of the Matter

Freeman finds himself within the borders claimed by a government. This human being decides he does not want to participate in the government organization anymore, so he quits. He then finds a nice plot of "public" property and claims it as his own. He is quickly confronted with a government participant named Citizen, who informs him that the land belongs to the government, and he is trespassing. Continue.....

INTRODUCTORY.

_____________

The question of treason is distinct from that of slavery; and is the same that it would have been, if free States, instead of slave States, had seceded.

On the part of the North, the war was carried on, not to liberate slaves, but by a government that had always perverted and violated the Constitution, to keep the slaves in bondage; and was still willing to do so, if the slaveholders could be thereby induced to stay in the Union.

The principle, on which the war was waged by the North, was simply this: That men may rightfully be compelled to submit to, and support, a government that they do not want; and that resistance, on their part, makes them traitors and criminals.

No principle, that is possible to be named, can be more self-evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field, and is now assumed to be established. If it really be established, the number of slaves, instead of having been diminished by the war, has been greatly increased; for a man, thus subjected to a government that he does not want, is a slave. And there is no difference, in principle --- but only in degree --- between political and chattel slavery. The former, no less than the latter, denies a man's ownership of himself and the products of his labor; and [*iv] asserts that other men may own him, and dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their pleasure.

Previous to the war, there were some grounds for saying that --- in theory, at least, if not in practice --- our government was a free one; that it rested on consent. But nothing of that kind can be said now, if the principle on which the war was carried on by the North, is irrevocably established.

If that principle be not the principle of the Constitution, the fact should be known. If it be the principle of the Constitution, the Constitution itself should be at once overthrown.

NO TREASON

No. 1.

I.

Notwithstanding all the proclamations we have made to mankind, within the last ninety years, that our government rests on consent, and that that was the rightful basis on which any government could rest, the late war has practically demonstrated that our government rests upon force --- as much so as any government that ever existed.

The North has thus virtually said to the world: It was all very well to prate of consent, so long as the objects to be accomplished were to liberate ourselves from our connexion with England, and also to coax a scattered and jealous people into a great national union; but now that those purposes have been accomplished, and the power of the North has become consolidated, it is sufficient for us --- as for all governments --- simply to say: Our power is our right.

In proportion to her wealth and population, the North has probably expended more money and blood to maintain her power over an unwilling people, than any other government ever did. And in her estimation, it is apparently the chief glory of her success, and an adequate compensation for all her own losses, and an ample justification for all her devastation and carnage of the South, that all pretence of any necessity for consent to the perpetuity or power of government, is (as she thinks) forever expunged from the minds of the people. In short, the North [*6] exults beyond measure in the proof she has given, that a government, professedly resting on consent, will expend more life and treasure in crushing dissent, than any government, openly founded on force, has ever done.

And she claims that she has done all this in behalf of liberty! In behalf of free government! In behalf of the principle that government should rest on consent!

If the successors of Roger Williams, within a hundred years after their State had been founded upon the principle of free religious toleration, and when the Baptists had become strong on the credit of that principle, had taken to burning heretics with a fury never seen before among men; and had they finally gloried in having thus suppressed all question of the truth of the State religion; and had they further claimed to have done all this in behalf of freedom of conscience, the inconsistency between profession and conduct would scarcely have been greater than that of the North, in carrying on such a war as she has done, to compel men to live under and support a government that they did not want; and in then claiming that she did it in behalf of the of the principle that government should rest on consent.

This astonishing absurdity and self-contradiction are to be accounted for only by supposing, either that the lusts of fame, and power, and money, have made her utterly blind to, or utterly reckless of, he inconsistency and enormity of her conduct; or that she has never even understood what was implied in a government's resting on consent. Perhaps this last explanation is the true one. In charity to human nature, it is to be hoped that it is.

II

What, then, is implied in a government's resting on consent?

If it be said that the consent of the strongest party, in a nation, is all that is necessary to justify the establishment of a government that shall have authority over the weaker party, it [*7] may be answered that the most despotic governments in the world rest upon that very principle, viz: the consent of the strongest party. These governments are formed simply by the consent or agreement of the strongest party, that they will act in concert in subjecting the weaker party to their dominion. And the despotism, and tyranny, and injustice of these governments consist in that very fact. Or at least that is the first step in their tyranny; a necessary preliminary to all the oppressions that are to follow.

If it be said that the consent of the most numerous party, in a nation, is sufficient to justify the establishment of their power over the less numerous party, it may be answered:

First. That two men have no more natural right to exercise any kind of authority over one, than one has to exercise the same authority over two. A man's natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government.

Second. It would be absurd for the most numerous party to talk of establishing a government over the less numerous party, unless the former were also the strongest, as well as the most numerous; for it is not to be supposed that the strongest party would ever submit to the rule of the weaker party, merely because the latter were the most numerous. And as a matter of fact, it is perhaps never that governments are established by the most numerous party. They are usually, if not always, established by the less numerous party; their superior strength consisting of their superior wealth, intelligence, and ability to act in concert.

Third. Our Constitution does not profess to have been established simply by the majority; but by "the people;" the minority, as much as the majority. [*8]

Fourth. If our fathers, in 1776, had acknowledged the principle that a majority had the right to rule the minority, we should never have become a nation; for they were in a small minority, as compared with those who claimed the right to rule over them.

Fifth. Majorities, as such, afford no guarantees for justice. They are men of the same nature as minorities. They have the same passions for fame, power, and money, as minorities; and are liable and likely to be equally --- perhaps more than equally, because more boldly --- rapacious, tyrannical and unprincipled, if intrusted with power. There is no more reason, then, why a man should either sustain, or submit to, the rule of the majority, than of a minority. Majorities and minorities cannot rightfully be taken at all into account in deciding questions of justice. And all talk about them, in matters of government, is mere absurdity. Men are dunces for uniting to sustain any government, or any laws, except those in which they are all agreed. And nothing but force and fraud compel men to sustain any other. To say that majorities, as such, have a right to rule minorities, is equivalent to saying that minorities have, and ought to have, no rights, except such as majorities please to allow them.

Sixth. It is not improbable that many or most of the worst of governments --- although established by force, and by a few, in the first place --- come, in time, to be supported by a majority. But if they do, this majority is composed, in large part, of the most ignorant, superstitious, timid, dependent, servile, and corrupt portions of the people; of those who have been over-awed by the power, intelligence, wealth, and arrogance; of those who have been deceived by the frauds; and of those who have been corrupted by the inducements, of the few who really constitute the government. Such majorities, very likely, could be found in half, perhaps nine-tenths, of all the countries on the globe. What do they prove? Nothing but the tyranny and corruption of the very governments that have reduced so large portions of [*9] the people to their present ignorance, servility, degradation, and corruption; an ignorance, servility, degradation, and corruption that are best illustrated in the simple fact that they do sustain governments that have so oppressed, degraded, and corrupted them. They do nothing towards proving that the governments themselves are legitimate; or that they ought to be sustained, or even endured, by those who understand their true character. The mere fact, therefore, that a government chances to be sustained by a majority, of itself proves nothing that is necessary to be proved, in order to know whether such government should be sustained, or not.

Seventh. The principle that the majority have a right to rule the minority, practically resolves all government into a mere contest between two bodies of men, as to which of them shall be masters, and which of them slaves; a contest, that --- however bloody --- can, in the nature of things, never be finally closed, so long as man refuses to be a slave.

III

But to say that the consent of either the strongest party, or the most numerous party, in a nation, is sufficient justification for the establishment or maintenance of a government that shall control the whole nation, does not obviate the difficulty. The question still remains, how comes such a thing as "a nation" to exist? How do millions of men, scattered over an extensive territory --- each gifted by nature with individual freedom; required by the law of nature to call no man, or body of men, his masters; authorized by that law to seek his own happiness in his own way, to do what he will with himself and his property, so long as he does not trespass upon the equal liberty of others; authorized also, by that law, to defend his own rights, and redress his own wrongs; and to go to the assistance and defence of any [*10] of his fellow men who may be suffering any kind of injustice --- how do millions of such men come to be a nation, in the first place? How is it that each of them comes to be stripped of his natural, God-given rights, and to be incorporated, compressed, compacted, and consolidated into a mass with other men, whom he never saw; with whom he has no contract; and towards many of whom he has no sentiments but fear, hatred, or contempt? How does he become subjected to the control of men like himself, who, by nature, had no authority over him; but who command him to do this, and forbid him to do that, as if they were his sovereigns, and he their subject; and as if their wills and their interests were the only standards of his duties and his rights; and who compel him to submission under peril of confiscation, imprisonment, and death?

Clearly all this is the work of force, or fraud, or both.

By what right, then, did we become "a nation?" By what right do we continue to be "a nation?" And by what right do either the strongest, or the most numerous, party, now existing within the territorial limits, called "The United States," claim that there really is such "a nation" as the United States? Certainly they are bound to show the rightful existence of "a nation," before they can claim, on that ground, that they themselves have a right to control it; to seize, for their purposes, so much of every man's property within it, as they may choose; and, at their discretion, to compel any man to risk his own life, or take the lives of other men, for the maintenance of their power.

To speak of either their numbers, or their strength, is not to the purpose. The question is by what right does the nation exist? And by what right are so many atrocities committed by its authority? or for its preservation?

The answer to this question must certainly be, that at least such a nation exists by no right whatever.

We are, therefore, driven to the acknowledgment that nations and governments, if they can rightfully exist at all, can exist only by consent. [*11]

IV.

The question, then, returns, what is implied in a government's resting on consent?

Manifestly this one thing (to say nothing of the others) is necessarily implied in the idea of a government's resting on consent, viz: the separate, individual consent of every man who is required to contribute, either by taxation or personal service, to the support of the government. All this, or nothing, is necessarily implied, because one man's consent is just as necessary as any other man's. If, for example, A claims that his consent is necessary to the establishment or maintenance of government, he thereby necessarily admits that B's and every other man's are equally necessary; because B's and every other man's right are just as good as his own. On the other hand, if he denies that B's or any other particular man's consent is necessary, he thereby necessarily admits that neither his own, nor any other man's is necessary; and that government need to be founded on consent at all.

There is, therefore, no alternative but to say, either that the separate, individual consent of every man, who is required to aid, in any way, in supporting the government, is necessary, or that the consent of no one is necessary.

Clearly this individual consent is indispensable to the idea of treason; for if a man has never consented or agreed to support a government, he breaks no faith in refusing to support it. And if he makes war upon it, he does so as an open enemy, and not as a traitor that is, as a betrayer, or treacherous friend.

All this, or nothing, was necessarily implied in the Declaration made in 1776. If the necessity for consent, then announced, was a sound principle in favor of three millions of men, it was an equally sound one in favor of three men, or of one man. If the principle was a sound one in behalf of men living on a separate continent, it was an equally sound one in behalf of a man living on a separate farm, or in a separate house. [*12]

Moreover, it was only as separate individuals, each acting for himself, and not as members of organized governments, that the three millions declared their consent to be necessary to their support of a government; and, at the same time, declared their dissent to the support of the British Crown. The governments, then existing in the Colonies, had no constitutional power, as governments, to declare the separation between England and America. On the contrary, those governments, as governments, were organized under charters from, and acknowledged allegiance to, the British Crown. Of course the British king never made it one of the chartered or constitutional powers of those governments, as governments, to absolve the people from their allegiance to himself. So far, therefore, as the Colonial Legislatures acted as revolutionists, they acted only as so many individual revolutionists, and not as constitutional legislatures. And their representatives at Philadelphia, who first declared Independence, were, in the eye of the constitutional law of that day, simply a committee of Revolutionists, and in no sense constitutional authorities, or the representatives of constitutional authorities.

It was also, in the eye of the law, only as separate individuals, each acting for himself, and exercising simply his natural rights as an individual, that the people at large assented to, and ratified the Declaration.

It was also only as so many individuals, each acting for himself, and exercising simply his natural rights, that they revolutionized the constitutional character of their local governments, (so as to exclude the idea of allegiance to Great Britain); changing their forms only as and when their convenience dictated.

The whole Revolution, therefore, as a Revolution, was declared and accomplished by the people, acting separately as individuals, and exercising each his natural rights, and not by their governments in the exercise of their constitutional powers.

It was, therefore, as individuals, and only as individuals, each acting for himself alone, that they declared that their consent that is, their individual consent for each one could consent only [*13] for himself --- was necessary to the creation or perpetuity of any government that they could rightfully be called on to support.

In the same way each declared, for himself, that his own will, pleasure, and discretion were the only authorities he had any occasion to consult, In determining whether he would any longer support the government under which be had always lived. And if this action of each individual were valid and rightful when he had so many other individuals to keep him company, it would have been, in the view of natural justice and right, equally valid and rightful, if he had taken the same step alone. He had the same natural right to take up arms alone to defend his own property against a single tax-gatherer, that he had to take up arms in company with three millions of others, to defend the property of all against an army of tax-gatherers.

Thus the whole Revolution turned upon, asserted, and, in theory, established, the right of each and every man, at his discretion, to release himself from the support of the government under which he had lived. And this principle was asserted, not as a right peculiar to themselves, or to that time, or as applicable only to the government then existing; but as a universal right of all men, at all times, and under all circumstances.

George the Third called our ancestors traitors for what they did at that time. But they were not traitors in fact, whatever he or his laws may have called them. They were not traitors in fact, because they betrayed nobody, and broke faith with nobody. They were his equals, owing him no allegiance, obedience, nor any other duty, except such as they owed to mankind at large. Their political relations with him had been purely voluntary. They had never pledged their faith to him that they would continue these relations any longer than it should please them to do so; and therefore they broke no faith in parting with him. They simply exercised their natural right of saying to him, and to the English people, that they were under no obligation to continue their political connexion with them, and that, for reasons of their own, they chose to dissolve it. [*14]

What was true of our ancestors, is true of revolutionists in general. The monarchs and governments, from whom they choose to separate, attempt to stigmatize them as traitors. But they are not traitors in fact; in-much they betray, and break faith with, no one. Having pledged no faith, they break none. They are simply men, who, for reasons of their own --- whether good or bad, wise or unwise, is immaterial --- choose to exercise their natural right of dissolving their connexion with the governments under which they have lived. In doing this, they no more commit the crime of treason --- which necessarily implies treachery, deceit, breach of faith --- than a man commits treason when he chooses to leave a church, or any other voluntary association, with which he has been connected.

This principle was a true one in 1776. It is a true one now. It is the only one on which any rightful government can rest. It is the one on which the Constitution itself professes to rest. If it does not really rest on that basis, it has no right to exist; and it is the duty of every man to raise his hand against it.

If the men of the Revolution designed to incorporate in the Constitution the absurd ideas of allegiance and treason, which they had once repudiated, against which they had fought, and by which the world had been enslaved, they thereby established for themselves an indisputable claim to the disgust and detestation of all mankind.

In subsequent numbers, the author hopes to show that, under the principle of individual consent, the little government that mankind need, is not only practicable, but natural and easy; and that the Constitution of the United States authorizes no government, except one depending wholly on voluntary support.

Sow the Seed

Living is the component that defines life. Love is the seed from witch divine joy springs forth. Today the world is overflowing with a river of fear, greed, and hate. Tomorrow the world will be filled with? What tomorrow holds is up to you and me as our actions in the now determine the moment to come. Just as the flower can not bloom if the seed does not fall, love can not flow if the tap is closed.

The time is now as it has always been and will always be, and now is your time to prepare the garden for the seeds. First the ground must be cleared of the junk and debris that clutters out the trees. As we remove the trash and prepare the ground for the sowing of the seed it is important to take notes of the topography of the earth and sky.

How does the rain flow?
In what direction does the prevailing wind blow?
Where does the summer sun rise and set?
Where among the clouds does the winter sun spring forth before finally taking a rest?

The mind is but a garden it is you who must become the steward and the earth will again be free.

Stop the Projector

It's well past time to stop the projector and change the real.

It is the duty of each individual to control their thought and the image that is projected by these thoughts. For six to seven thousand years the mind of the mob has been manipulated to create a false image, leading to the mass projection of fiction. The projectors of fiction are worn out and eroding in the cesspool of greed and corruption that brought them to the screen. As the mind reawakens to it's divine nature, and the thought is unshackled from the devises of control, reality will once again shine bright for all to see.

The current image being projected through the mind of the masses is coming to an end. The lights are coming up as the seats empty, the waste lays on the floor, and the image fades away leaving in its wake an empty screen. The watcher has become the watched, as the duty to become the director dawns from above.

The sun rises bringing with it a new day as the rays of light shine down with joy giving energy to the projection of the eternal image of conscious beings. Man the perfection of creation, existing on all plains of being, being aware of one's self, willingly accepting the power and authority of the one, voluntarily working as two, will create a new image out of love for all to see. It is the image of the original thought, "eternal co-creation inspired by the power of love".

What image are you creating and what reality are you projecting on the screen? Reality is but a projection of thought, control the thought and direct the scene.

A Grand New Day

Good day to all as we awaken from the nights sleep and leap for the coming new day. Lets us wash in the divine waters and eat from the grandest of tables. The day brings a new light to the the journey through immortality, as the mind, body, and soul become one with the divine consciousness. Let us co-create on this day a splendid future for all to come and bring joy to the universe in its splendid beauty.

Water that which brings life.
