Subject: mea culpa---OK--maybe it was worded a lil strongly
***
I apologize for the irreverant, rascist sounding rant, in which I was totally wrong.
RE: Wall St. being closed for rosh Hashana (Sha Na Na, Ramma-damma ding-dong};
Milton Friedman immediately called me on it...and demanded an apology.
Now a call from Uncle Miltie would be nuthin unusual, except that he died 2 yrs ago.
So--ya my Karma Cameleon Russel came down heavy.....1st off it was our congress that closed for Jewish New Year is it? I thought it was just the Gov. end of fiscal year? Funny how doz 2 go together, ain't it. Gotta get dem bids in!!
Uhhh...but it was a lil bigoted sounding, even though I am not anti-semetic. I only wanna bring it to everyone's attention--that their Semite Cousins...are considered 'less than' to many, like us Goyim.
But---that is mainly a Zionist supremist view...and if I'm not mistaken, they are suspected as not really being Hebrew. And the 'True Jews' are in the majority(pop. wise);
Only problem as you well know is that the Gov [of Israel] is run, now by a minority of hawkish Zionist's---in the Likud branch of the Knesset. But--Olmert(who is to resign soon) shocked the world with his statements regarding the old Zionist guard. OUTSTANDING!! ALSO KNOW---I believe in giving praise & credit where it is deserved:
You cannot fault the good Jewish high achievers for being the best at everything they do.
They are unbelievably great people...and have done much for the human race, philanthropy, trusts, grants for the poor,etc.,etc. The Arts & culture, medicine, technology. My cardiologist , considered the best at Kettering Med Center, here in Dayton...saved my life. I am eternally grateful to many, including the surgeon, nurse & staff....a 7th Day Adventist church....now I do have a problem with them,
the AnaBaptists, and the Zorastrians. Just kidding...go and Let It Be' a Good Day.
Peace be upon you & yours!!

Dear Mick,
We often enjoy your progressive political slannt, and do like to share your perspectives, from time to time, with our beloved efamily [elovefamily]. But, as we have stated several times, in lectures, books, and other venues and writings, we wholeheartedly reject any kind of bigotry--as you also do. And we are very glad that you clarified this point for our readers. Antisemitic bigotry is as destructive and ignorance-based as any other bigotry; it is not unforgivable, but it is indefensible from the viewpoint of any cultured, sane, civilized being.
As we have clearly stated several times, no one is ever responsible for the activities or behaviors of her ancestors! Bigotry is foolishness, and can never be defended on either rational or spiritual grounds; and, for whatever record there might be (including akasha), we renounce and denounce bigotry in all of its sorry manifestations. We believe that all people are equal in their possession of the Spirit at the Center of all Mind, and that each is capable of expressing the God(dess) of purest Love.
In fact, we do not even believe that human beings are animals. We believe that they (we) are all Soulminds. And a Soulmind, being immaterial and nonphysical, does nnot belong to any particular race; so racial prejudice is unthinkable from the most elevated spiritual perspective.
Love to All,
a frannnciscan taoist and the staff of Love Ministries USA

A Spiritual View of Death
*******
The spiritual being is not morbidly or chronically obsessed with death. She does not yearn or long for it. She does not fantasize about it. Nor is she always speaking or thinking of it. But, realistically, neither can it be ignored, nor can anyone successfully flee from it. And she does accept it as a natural part of every life-cycle. It is as natural as the sun-kissed dew upon the dawn rose.
Some are so terrified of death that they lie to themselves. They claim that their physical bodies will never die! Others are fanatics of nutrition and exercise, seeking to prolong biological life. These people are living in sheerest fantasy, rejected by the spiritually enlightened. Instead, she seeks to cultivate an accepting view of death. Although it is clearly an apparent "enemy" to biological creatures, it can be a "friend" to spiritual beings. For it leads to a life, or "afterlife," of beautiful and wonderful freedom, a life without pain, suffering, agony, or frustration.
Birth has always been a guarantee of death. Every creature ever born has died. So, death is not some "unnatural" or "astonishing" tragedy. It is an aspect of natural life, its final "crown" or glory. Those who have actually died have, for the first time in human history, been resuscitated by the thousands by biotechnology. They tell a surprisingly beautiful story of death as a survivable experience.
And those who remember anything at all tell essentially the same story: And all agree that, amazingly and contrary to philosophy and expectations of so many, the mind (consciousness or awareness) does survive after the physical death of the body.
However, spiritual beings are compassionate. We do not laugh at funerals, but cry with those who cry-- for their sakes. We are also partly biological, and we too feel the enormous, immense, vast sense of pain and loss (to our world) when any beautiful living creature leaves our world.
But the accounts of survival, brought back by those who have actually died, are just another verification of what spiritual people have taught for centuries, from Jesus to the Buddha.
So, the spiritually wise seek to embrace death in their "all-embracing" mind. They erase all fear of death, and hatred of death. In embracing God as the "all good," without negativity, they seek to expand even their Love, a gift of God's grace, to encircle even death. In this "Love of death," they can lead more peaceful and trusting lives. Jesus tells his followers to live as the birds, flowers, and nursing infants-- none of whom ever worry about, or fear, personal death.
Spiritually, as Jesus demonstrated, death is the release from this current highly imperfect, often terribly painful, life. With it, the mind soars into immeasurable freedom-- free from worry, anxiety, tension, guilt, fear, and the many assorted agonies caused by biological bodies. That deep subconscious aspect of the Mind that lived before this life, and that survives afterward, is called the "Soul," "Soul-level," or "Soulmind." Non-biological, It lives in a world of pure Mind-- of much greater beauty, balance, tranquility, bliss, and ecstasy. When we leave this world, our real life has just only begun!

Psychomodification and Homeworld Education
*******
I must agree that the sweet and kind Susan [pseudonym] does not "deserve" her life as it appears to be right now. But we should never forget that a life-pattern for any life is designed by the immense intelligence/wisdom called the "unconscious Soulmind," so her tests and exams are not happening "at random."
A few souls incarnate on earth, from time to time, to accelerate vastly their spiritual growth. Many wise mysticsaints suffered, in their human manifestations (and dream) from incurable, often complex, challenges. These challenges were never easy or fun for them, or for the souls to whom they were so solidly bound in Love.
Trials of this nature can be quite trying. But, in the end, they can drive one to the very limits of human spirituality, and even beyond those apparent limitations, pushing one into the interior realms of the superhuman.
These things barely ever occur to "evil" people. So, they also drive all of us to seek their deeper, practical, and more realistic meanings and origins. Far, far too many childish minds simply dismiss the entire cosmos as "unjust," blind, or even evil. These shallow thinkers cut themselves off from God (Love), "eat of the tree of good and evil," and get whacked out of "paradise" (Eden means "pleasure.") All joy is sucked rom their heartminds, leaving them to die of spiritual thirst on a superheated desert. This dreamed "separation from Love" can never be real; but it is the very definition of the psychogenic state of "hell."
On the other hand, it can take some fancy footwork, as well as profound cognition (combined with acognitive therapy) for us to develop the hypersensual awareness of the meaning of Love in all this. The "easy way out," the lazy "cop out" is simply to deny that the cosmos has any meaning, and to die a horible, selfchosen, agonizing death in that spiritual desert.
Love is not "joking" with these earthlives. Before incarnation, at special classes in the Homeworld, we are prepped for the horrors and nightmares that earthlife might well bring us. In that preincarnational life, we are quite thoroughly grounded in the single fact that Love is in control of our life-designs, and never, never to forget this one fact, no matter how "terrible" our lives seem to become. This deep spiritual
education is also designed, precisely, by experts thousands of years old, to keep us from falling into hopeless panic. And blessed is she who can remember, and know.
You, like us, are being forced down the ghastly road to soulical memory, to recall your own powerful education, to call upon, and draw upon, every single interior resource to which your Soul has access.
