The Fool's Money
Can I relate or must I wait;
am I too early or to late.
For when I speak I cast my fate
response can hardly wait.
Words are cheap when from the cheek
only when written do they begin to speak.
For when we come face to face
its conversation and becomes a race,
each one, picking up the pace,
each one, trying to get first place.
But when I write , I am free to find
what I think is right.
Sure I'll make mistakes through the night;
but all is well by the light.
And when its done you disagree,
just ignore it and let me be.
I dont pretend to guarante
I just put it writing and wait and see.

Life Philosophy
or How I Failed My Way To The Top
My investigations into the meaning of life and the study
of its truths and principles is rooted in a deep desire to understand
the workings of the universe and my particular part in it. At the age
of six or seven, I remember thinking that somehow life was not necessarily
what I was being told; there had to be something else. Maybe I began to
suspect there was no Santa Claus. (In later years I was to embrace the
concept completely.) Intuitively, I knew if I were to find answers I would
have to have good questions. This became my first concept of philosophy:
Answers were transitory; questions eternal. This basic principle grew
in meaning. I was no longer concerned with finding answers of attaining
goals. If my questions or path had merit, answers would surely be followed
with new questions that would transcend my then-understanding to a new
level of naiveté.
My personal interests gravitated to the esoteric teachings. My reading
preferences have been exclusively in the non-fiction section of the library--History,
Anthropology, Psychology Religion, Economics, Political Science and Philosophy
were my constant bill of fare. I found that, with all my reading, I still
did not know how to make this information work for me. I understood it
from an intellectual standpoint but that was two-dimensional and it seemed
apart from me. It had to become dimensional. It needed breadth. I had
another problem with the academic treatises. They seemed to be in a constant
state of conflict: religion versus religion; one economic system versus
another, etc. There had to be an underlying truth that transcended intellectual
and physical borders. I had grown tired of the defenses and debates.
It was in the early 70's that I began what was to become my life's work,
the study of the structure of light. I became aware of the work that was
coming out of the Bauhaus at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Buckminster
Fuller was teaching there and one of his students, Robert Auerbach, turned
me on to spherical negative and positive space. One of the things that
Fuller would tell his class was to find the "universal intersection."
It was this search for the universal intersection and the space between
the balloons that, for me, bridged the gap between the second and third
dimensions. It was no longer abstract. It no longer had to be translated.
It was experiential. Language played no part in the explanation of universal
concepts—it was all in the doing.
It became apparent that religion and science are but an analogy of each
other, that each is but an explanation of the same concept—the search
for the one indisputable, indivisible, immutable law that governs the
workings of the universe.
Just as the concept of Santa Claus left and returned to me, so has the
idea of a power greater than myself.

Manolo's Lullaby
In the company of the great spirit
the Maria wind spoke to the grandfathers
about the ballet of birth
through endless space. A continuous ray of light
that brought forth a mighty sound
and the wind was first born and came to life.
From obscure origins came the recipe of life,
for all living things commune with the spirit
world. Beyond the the cave walls,the sound
of earths gravity flowed down toward the grandfathers
while the gravity of living light
was being drawn back to the source of it’s birth.
At the moment of birth
you may find a master to devote your life.
God resides in the seeds of light,
the essence of his spirit
speaks to the grandfathers
through the little ones sound.
In the language of dreams comes the the sound
of many lives and the moments of their birth
in a constant chord with all the grandfathers.
All time is one with this life,
a seamless thread weaving the spirit
into a an endless fabric of holy light.
In the darkness, it is the light
that leads our way. It is the sound
of tears and children's play that wakens the spirit
within us and gives birth
to our humanity. Light sound and life
are eternal, so say the grandfathers.
The great spirit has told the grandfathers.
that the holy stream of light
and the holy stream of life
and the holy stream of sound
can never die for their birth
has never been. Eternal is the spirit.
The grandfathers listen for the sound
of light in every birth.

"God, country and Mom's apple pie."
What good is it if you don't have a mouth to eat it? "Johnny got

"A penny saved is a penny earned."
Not if you have to earn so much you can't save any time.
"My country right or wrong."

"Love it or leave it!"

jury duty.
"One nation, under God . . . "
Who's, yours or mine?
"With liberty and justice for all . . . "
Except Kikes, Niggers, Spics and faggots. Please don't be offended if
I left your particular persuasion out.
"To serve and protect."
These guys and gals really scare me! There should be a law: anyone who
carries a gun has to pass a sense of humor test.
When someone tells you, "Price is no object," you will never
see the money.
"To protect America's vital interests."
Now there is a can of worms.
"Just say no to drugs."

MRE 1999
The House Of Now
I look back on my life, yet so new. Of many seasons past
and many crops harvested; and in the sorrows and disappointments of my
life, I have often thought the the always changing seasons would stop.
That the wonder of spring would not this time melt the winter snow. That
the summer sun would never again warm and tan my flesh. The colors of
Fall would not this time dance with the vivid hues of seasons past.
The season of my reality was frozen in the cold and barren winter of my
mind. But as it is it shall always be, time that heals the wounds. The
scars that are left behind are often thought to be ugly and shameful,
all that would look upon thee would find the scars offensive. But I say
no, these are not the scars of ugliness but wounds justly won in battle.
Not to be looked upon with pity or consolation but rather to be shared
tacitly with others who had the courage to define their own reality. Theirs
is a coveted sect rarely known to the passersby of this world. These are
the ones who curse the wound for the scar left behind. I say no! not so.
Love that which has made your awareness more than a slave to others thoughts.
You had the courage to stand and face the world, to meet the fate of victor
or vanquished the out come means not.
I ask why I am? I say because I must be. Who would know if I were not.
The pages of time have no place for my name. My deeds will soak into the
soil as do the heaviest of rains, some to be sucked downward into the
earth where all things grow and some to evaporate back to the heavens
from which it came.
Say take me wind of life, I want to ride the rapids of your waters.
To reach out and let you in.
To yield totally.
To cry out for mercy.
To touch anthers mind.
I wish not to possess, but to know.
I am real and can give only that which is real.
Look not for promises of the future,
for tomorrow lies in a world we cannot visit, not even for the smallest
time.
We were born now, we live now and we shall die now.
Now is where we have always been.
Tomorrow is your unborn children’s place and there unborn children’s
place
and when they are born their lives too shall dwell in the house of now.
Out of the sweet nights air comes the light of knowing day. With every
breath my lungs expand with wonder and question. I see in the darkness
an object tempting and forbidden, casting a sweet fragrance that beckons
me into her womb. The scheme of life suddenly appears childishly uncomplicated,with
form and dimension to all that which is born of that conscious beginning.
An insight of vast proportion growing and multiplying in my mind. One
must let his mark fall upon the surface of the Earth so that he may know
the bond between his own being and the Universe. To know whence he has
come and to yet know how far it is to go. To know when sorrow and pain
seek my company to welcome them openly without fear, as the ocean seeks
to swallow the earth, not as an enemy, but as that knowledge that there
is an earth to be.
For every plus we must negate a minus.
As I am weak, I am strong.
As I am empty, I am full.
As I am alone, I shall know togetherness.
As I know myself , I shall know others.
As I know death, I shall know living.
As I am genius, I am idiot.
As I am naked, I shall know comfort.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To cry the tears of longing needs.
To hold that which is so real, close to me bosom.
To behold beauty, that no man can manufacture in his stores.
To be able to give so much.
A lump come to my throat and slowly descends into my innermost feelings;
it suddenly explodes into a million fragments of life's knowledge. All
the unfulfilled hopes and desires of the winter past filter through my
mind. The fantasies that dance upon my brain warm me as no summer sun
could ever do. The colors of my passion out do the most brilliant Autumn
burn. Winter smiles with a knowing glow and the petals of spring flowers
open excitedly to the sun; knowing that it would all happen again, grateful
none the less.
MRE 1970
What is Reality?
Over the years, I have pondered the question "what
is reality?" I read many books related to the subject and I have
best defined it in my own words: "Reality is where a man is; truth
is where he ought to be."
Webster's definition describes reality as, "1.) the state or quality
of being real; 2.) resemblance to what is real; 3.) a real thing or fact."
The definition I like the best is: "5.) philos. something that exists
independently of ideas concerning it." It is interesting to note
that in Webster's definition of "truth" he uses the word "reality"
to help define the truth, almost making the two words synonymous and,
most assuredly, an idiom—"in truth; in reality."
However, the Webster definition that brings these two concepts together
is, "a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or
the like."
Reality can be interpreted as any given place in which an individual finds
himself at any give time. It is constantly changing; never the same.
Reality must always be quantified as to its common element to rule over
all belief or circumstance. It is reality that if all beings do not have
air to breathe, they will surely expire.
I believe that we have a dual concept in the word "reality,"
the key word being "believe." I believe this to be reality,
or the truth. You believe that something else is reality or the truth.
These concepts help do much to support scientific quantum physics as to
the subjective nature of our thinking process.
In my own search for the meaning of "reality" I have continued
to cling to the concept of absolute reality, beyond thought and mind,
beyond the concepts of the personal or even the knowable.

THINGS I TELL MYSELF
1969 -200..
Creation is the separation of opposites
division is the first act of creation
Respect the parts
In the West it is...
“ ...to be or not to be..” is not the complete question ,
add “...or to let be , that is the question...”
In the East it is
YIN and YANG , but what about YONG
We must seek alternatives
Everyone is correct now leave me alone!!
A ruler is only as good as its parts are equal.
Freedom is not being a slave to your own thoughts
What inducement is there to sell your brains to insipid leaders ?
The competition for your mind is intense.
By not knowing our possibilities we remain in bondage.
To know our perfection is to gain our freedom.
Once upon a point
along the line
the distance was
Quite plane
What seems to be apparent is assuredly transparent.
What you see may only be an illusion to bind you.
You can refuse to know something,
but you can’t escape the consequences of your refusal.
Life is the ultimate confidence game.
Society is set up so you will have more confidence in them , than yourself.
What you see may only be an illusion to bind you.
Higher consciousness uses all the rules, but is not limited by them
Have you ever rode in a bubble
neatly set inside.
It really is no trouble,
so just enjoy the ride.
Knowledge comes from expirence, be it conscious or otherwise.
Knowledge must flow through us for it is power.
To horde or hold on to power will surely blow a fuse.
We will never be completely civilized until we learn to feed each other.
my purpose is to explore freedom. It is inherent in all men.
You cannot buy gold. You must already have it.
When we assume responsibility for ourselves, we assure our place in the
universe.
Most people given the choice between FREEDOM and SECURITY
would chose the latter.
You can’t hate money only the means in obtaining it
.
To worship money is fear, a defense against hurt.
I wonder what would happen if they printed money with disappearing ink
?
Through commerce and trade have the people of earth got to know each other.
The new world camouflages its leaders like those insects that resemble
twigs and leaves.
I am more interested in justice than the law.
Justice must always be above the law.
Though everything is not permitted it is possible.
Intelligence will build a bridge between the worlds.
There is nothing new only that which has been forgotten.
where invention is concerned woe to the first comer.
The glory and profit goes to the one who comes after.
The present is no more than a point of contact
between the lines of the past and the future.
Everything is possible when we have conscious knowledge of our true self.
we must be conscious of each other.
We are the evolution.
The gift of life is the PRESENT.
