The spirit  has the far-reaching beams
of unloosed dreams.           

The deep diving legend in myth or bible   
shows the plots of the poets from  the elder revival.            

The air of the temple was more rare than the  lily.
The stories contrast the known with the silly.

You strong walls with sealed roof rising to heaven!  
You pinnacle of power fashioned from mortal leaven.          

You have the life that lives in history. 
You harbor morality that is not just a mystery!            

You too I welcome with songs filled with joy!
You are the haven of help for each girl and boy.      

Live in a manner worthy of life.
Rise above adversity to overcome strife.

The right to life is the basis for law.
Killing for defense is the last straw.

Defense is against a threat that is present and clear.
The just and faithful value life as dear.

The duty to retreat is only blessed when its best.
The presumption of fear is not a quest to be pressed.
It is something confessed to digest the contest.

Killing an unarmed person is murder.
You make a martyr with fervor
and become liable for the merger
of the lurker and shirker.

Democracy does not decree
the choice between matrons or patriarchy.
Minorities are not better than the majority.
Everybody is the concern for the government of me
for the brave and the free.

Raise praise for goodness.
That which is best is that which stood blessed
through the test.

Goodness is not just a matter of taste.
It is provision for need with minimal waste.
 Steadfast love endures the test of time.
A weapon is only part of that which is mine.

Freedom is social with trade, travel and science.
Training and care increase self-reliance.

Show favor to people, not money for free.
Do not concede defeat to partisan greed.
Compensation keeps competition in line with need.

Provide protection from violence.
Protest breaks silence.

Prosperity is for labor and management.
Security is for people with the advantaged consent.

Iniquity is part of our descent.
Sons and daughters were sacrificed as though by intent.
Invasions, genocide, torture and cruelty in punishment 
have been bent to the deprivation of dissent.
The destruction of opposition is a goal that can not be met.

Unarmed citizens and immigrants have been killed.
The blood of non-combatants has been spilled.
It has been poured out for false belief willed
for the corruption of government as fulfilled
and the pollution of the land with the prejudiced skill
of plutocracy billed.

Security is not secured by the industry for war.
Banking on munitions makes the nation state a whore.
Industry has to be regulated for defense or its a monster carnivore.
A nation does not live by violence and cruelty galore.

Live in a manner worthy of life.
Rise above adversity to overcome strife.

The right to life is the basis for law.
Killing for defense is only the last straw.

Defense is against a threat that is present and clear.
The just and faithful value life as dear.


Psalm 106.18

Part I Confitemini Domino

1 Hallelujah!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, *
for his mercy endures for ever.
2 Who can declare the mighty acts of the Lord *
or show forth all his praise?
3 Happy are those who act with justice *
and always do what is right!
4 Remember me, O Lord, with the favor you have for your people, *
and visit me with your saving help;
5 That I may see the prosperity of your elect
and be glad with the gladness of your people, *
that I may glory with your inheritance.
6 We have sinned as our forebears did; *
we have done wrong and dealt wickedly.
7 In Egypt they did not consider your marvelous works,
nor remember the abundance of your love; *
they defied the Most High at the Red Sea.
8 But he saved them for his Name's sake, *
to make his power known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, *
and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 He saved them from the hand of those who hated them *
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 The waters covered their oppressors; *
not one of them was left.
12 Then they believed his words *
and sang him songs of praise.
13 But they soon forgot his deeds *
and did not wait for his counsel.
14 A craving seized them in the wilderness, *
and they put God to the test in the desert.
15 He gave them what they asked, *
but sent leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses in the camp, *
and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
17 The earth opened and swallowed Dathan *
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Fire blazed up against their company, *
and flames devoured the wicked.

Restore
the Garden
庭を復元する
Niwa o fukugen suru
ps 80

The garden has been destroyed.
Re-construction must be employed.

Let the light from the sun shine.
Let the rain provide for that which is mine.

Beauty will be restored with cultivation mined.
The destruction was motivation's fine.

Knowledge about the garden
was taken from anguish so the heart would not harden.

The land had been prepared for growth
with the use of what was known.

Fertility nurtures her success.
The heavens declare warmth with wetness;
The heat of light is relieved with darkness.
Enslavement was cast out as a test.
War is next.

One day tells its tale to another.
Each night imparts knowledge to uncover.
I like the dark. I'm a poetry lover.
Dreams dance for the conscience to discover.
I dread the extent of improbability, 
but there are problems with the liability 
of empirically tried hostility.
There is also the issue of deficient utility.

I surrender to the truth of the dream's dance
despite the lance of cruelty's stance.
Re-construction is a game of chance.
The time has come to mention France.

It has acquired a timeless quality with respect for law.
The Roman republic had been destroyed by attack from Gaul. (390 BCE)
It was a lesson learned by those who saw.
Now France promotes the rule of law for all.

Time has no language or words with which to speak,
but the message is a unique critique of the mystique of the bleak
that we tweak for the meek. The source has gone out to the earth we seek
to fertilize with knowledge from the Ancient Greek.
The sound of music as drawn from myth
harvests the grain by the scythe of pith.
This sound has gone out to all forthwith
to celebrate the sun as a monolith.

A pavilion has been set for the sun in the deep.
Illumination rises to run a course for time to keep.
Light comes forth like a celebrity on the stage to reap
the reward of praise from the fans that weep.

The stage is set for the course to run
from the outer edge to the end of fun.
Nothing but darkness is hidden from the radiance won.
The stream of sampling gets things done.

The rule of law requires respect for rights.
No one is above the law of light.
Judgment is for liberty with judicial sight
based on reason without discrimination's blight.

Justice revives the soul.
It gives wisdom to those who know
that it is needed as a goal.
It is there when we are ready to go.

Do not harbor false belief.
Truth will give you what you seek.
Do not abuse authority for power to speak.
Leave time to rest to rebuild the strength you need.

Honor your family for length of life.
Do not murder or contribute to strife.
Do not destroy property or your relations might.
Do not steal or bear false witness for your delight.

Do not covet property.
You desire only the novelty.
It creates social impropriety.
It reduces the quality of sobriety.
Do not support sacrifice for invasion or genocide.
It is a larger case of homicide.
It increases liability beyond the size of your stride.
It is a burden cursed by the monstrous size of the lies
by which it tries to hide those who have died. 

Set aside a portion of your income when you are beyond poverty.
The partisan polity provides mockery to defend the robbery of your property.
The poor, the disabled and the elderly provide a priority
to remind us that we are not just a majority or a minority.
Authority is properly directed toward equitable reward, not to inequality.
Spending appropriated for social security
restrains waste on the inclination to violent immaturity.

Spending on the military and supporting technology 
has to be limited to defense for the surety of maturity.
Put your faith in action to show love for others.
Earn respect by honoring rights for sisters and mothers.
Direct yourself away from causing damage to avoid crime with any color.
Love your enemy. It will cover your numbers. You won't be smothered.

Hate violence and deception without brutality or contrivance.
Crisis is managed with calm conception and non-violence.
Re-direct anger from hostility to the tireless spiraling of silence.
Use quietness to produce viable speech or action rather than idleness.

The rule of law is just when it is justly applied.
It gives joy to the heart and insight to the mind.
It makes the vine take root to produce grapes for wine.
It makes the grain that is used for bread that's fine.

Restore the garden.

Love will grow in the bargain.

Psalm 80
Qui regis Israel

1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; *
shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim.
2 In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, *
stir up your strength and come to help us.
3 Restore us, O God of hosts; *
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord God of hosts, *
how long will you be angered
despite the prayers of your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; *
you have given them bowls of tears to drink.
6 You have made us the derision of our neighbors, *
and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
7 Restore us, O God of hosts; *
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt; *
you cast out the nations and planted it.
9 You prepared the ground for it; *
it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered by its shadow *
and the towering cedar trees by its boughs.
11 You stretched out its tendrils to the Sea *
and its branches to the River.
12 Why have you broken down its wall, *
so that all who pass by pluck off its grapes?
13 The wild boar of the forest has ravaged it, *
and the beasts of the field have grazed upon it.
14 Turn now, O God of hosts, look down from heaven;
behold and tend this vine; *
preserve what your right hand has planted.
15 They burn it with fire like rubbish; *
at the rebuke of your countenance let them perish.
16 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, *
the son of man you have made so strong for yourself.
17 And so will we never turn away from you; *
give us life, that we may call upon your Name.
18 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; *
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.

Conserving resources preserves energy.
The management works for me.

The cultivation of production in time
works best when managed with respect for design.

The rule of law is for protection.
Crime is subject to correction.

Cruelty in punishment is not the cure.
Direction by correction works for sure.

Delight is shown with respect for others.
Joy is a reward that doesn't smother.

Law that places profit above people is flawed.
War or genocide is not to be held in awe.

Life rules the living.
Love favors giving.

Order by design is my proportion.
This table doesn't suffer from mass distortion.

Boundaries enclose pleasure
as a measured treasure.

Healthy happiness is a good heritage.
It works in and outside of marriage.

My heart reviews reaching for the teaching of truth.
This teaching is not reserved for the dismissal of youth.

Good counsel is blessed.
It helps you test for the best.

Don't support the rule of death.
It is more destructive than a missiled jet. 

Justice with liberty is the goal of law.
Equity is what the economy has to draw.

The accomplishment before me
is built upon the accomplishment seen.

My heart rejoices. My spirit is glad.
My strength avoids that which is bad.

I have not been condemned by the grave.
The rule of death does not bless or save.

The path to life is being known
by the design that is shown.

There is fullness of joy in your presence.
Discovery of the essential essence
gives joy as a present.


16 Conserva me, Domine

1 Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; *
I have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord,
my good above all other."

2 All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land, *
upon those who are noble among the people.

3 But those who run after other gods *
shall have their troubles multiplied.

4 Their libations of blood I will not offer, *
nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.

5 O Lord, you are my portion and my cup; *
it is you who uphold my lot.

6 My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; *
indeed, I have a goodly heritage.

7 I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; *
my heart teaches me, night after night.

8 I have set the Lord always before me; *
because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.

9 My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; *
my body also shall rest in hope.

10 For you will not abandon me to the grave, *
nor let your holy one see the Pit.

11 You will show me the path of life; *
in your presence there is fullness of joy,
and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

Others,

This article chalks one up for imperial tyranny. Yes. It waves the flag. It strikes up the band. It also says good bye to human and civil rights because only the elite are granted prosperity.
http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21576094-now-especially-world-needs-hold-fast-margaret-thatchers-principles-freedom-fighter?fsrc=scn/gp/wl/pe/freedomfighter

Thatcher changed the world all right. She made it worse along with Reagan. They made it easy for the Koch brothers and Murdoch to define big government as evil, so democracy could act as a front for dictatorship.

It's not that they believe in violence. It's just that for them, the end justifies the means. If it takes the industry for war to increase the accumulation of capital, then that's what they are willing to dictate.

--------------------------------

Levin was the sponsor for the NDAA. The NDAA authorizes the use of indefinite detention, targeted killing and propaganda. He's an authority on disappointment since he supports aggression rather than non-aggression; national security at the expense of social and international security. :-P
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-12/levin-calls-china-real-disappointment-on-north-korea.html
"Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said the Chinese aren’t “doing what they can do and should do” to stop North Korea’s nuclear weapons program."

The elite have defined political leadership as the selection of a suitable war. The world needs a different form of selection from leadership. The following celebrates the struggle to promote equity in the economy with politics.

Selection
from Ps30, Jhn21, Acts 9

The prosecutor was on the road
to the city of burning desire
to persecute those who followed
the path of salvation
with respect for basic needs
with prosperity.

The blindness of his error
assaulted him on the road
He was brought to question
the difference between prosecution
and persecution. When prosecution
was brought against those
who did not warrant it,
it was persecution.  

Integrity in leadership
was being lifted to lead.

Politics for providence
has been selected
to replace power without principles.

When “defense” is the only function
for the state upon which different parties agree,
defense becomes offense;
the suitable selection of war becomes a goal;
and spending becomes oppressive.

Utter dependence upon poor precedent
is enslavement to regression.
When war wins everyone loses.
When violence dictates policy
there is no respect for liberty.

When genocide imposes control with fear
there is no justice that is fair.

What is worthy of condemnation?

Wars for aggression and genocide
are high crimes, yet the elite
have defined leadership
as the selection of a suitable war.
The definition is fundamentally flawed
insofar as it condones wars for aggression.

The elite have arranged to pay
a lower rate in taxes. They have more
to invest in lobbies and campaigns
for their advantage.

They calculate their investment so it is
less than that which the common
taxpayer pays. They get more power
for less when political leadership
concedes to their insistence
irrespective of national integrity.
Integrity defines the balance
between social and national security.

High crimes demand prosecution,
but the elite shift the focus
to the offense caused by others
to avoid prosecution.

The nation has to prosecute the charge for the people.
Justice will select those who are most guilty.

Crime is prosecuted
so it won’t be condoned.
The convicted are set apart
for correction.

When slavery is inflicted
by the credit crunch of debt
there is no equity in the economy.

If we are only to condemn any wrong
among the non-elite
who could stand? Each has error.
Any can be condemned.

The goodness of God will never end,
but it is eclipsed from view by those
who believe in aggression
when aggressors are granted
their advantage..

Divine blessings will never cease,
but they are often usurped
by those who endlessly
push for their own advantage.

I have called to you
from out of the depths LORD.
Please listen to my voice.
Hear that which needs
to be achieved.
Feed our need.

My soul will magnify you.
My spirit will rejoice in your salvation.
You lifted me up.
You did not let death
triumph over me.

I cried to you.
You restored my health.

You brought me up from the dead
to shine in the light of the living.

Sing to the LORD, dear friends.
Give thanks for the remembrance of love.

The wrath of storm lasts for a time.
Divine favor lasts much longer in time.
It provides deliverance
from the bad of the past.

Weeping had spent the night,
but joy came with the morning.

You turned my wailing into dance.
You put off my rags and clothed me
with happiness.

Have you nothing to show for your labor?
Work to find the providence that is there for you.
Direct your attention where
you will find what you need.

Liberty is the thing for which we sing,
but it takes work to find that which is worthy
of happiness.

My heart will sing to you without ceasing.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks
without end.

==========================

Religion has often started as an opposition movement to government oppression. The establishment of a state religion has been used as a propaganda tool to promote war, but aggression itself has a broader base.

Establishment religion was for independence until it became a tool for the accumulation of capital with war under the banner of security.

Those who justify aggression as natural selection contribute to the war for aggression, a criminal cry that promotes high crime. Freedom of religion provides a remedy. It helps to separate powers.

Government has to separate those powers aimed at the claim to absolute power by destructive means, particularly wars for aggression, genocide and usury.

Political leadership needs to orchestrate unity in relation to provision for basic needs with respect for prosperity for posterity. We are part of a contingency for the global community.

Remembrance

Others,

The apostles had commissioned Paul to preach the gospel to the Gentiles with one condition: Remember the poor. He had already been eager to do this. (Gal.2:10)

Paul was from Tarsus. His father was a Greek (Acts 16:3) Tarsus was a center for trade in Asia Minor. Education was promoted in public. He had been exposed to the ideas contained in the dialog called “Timaeus” during the course of his education.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_ancient_Greece#Athenian_System

The “Timaeus” associated elemental spirits with the destructiveness in nature. This destructiveness was viewed as a justification for tyranny in the use of political power. The king or leader of the polis was expected to select a “suitable war.” People were not regarded as suitable for participation in politics or philosophy.

Timaeus
http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/timaeus.html

Socrates
(elitism) “…people of your class are the only ones remaining who are fitted by nature and education to take part at once both in politics and philosophy…therefore yesterday when I saw that you wanted me to describe the formation of the State I readily assented, being very well aware that if you only would, none were better qualified to carry the discussion further; and  when you had engaged our city in a suitable war, you of all men living could best exhibit her playing a fitting part.”

------------

Critias,
“There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes.”

-------------

Timaeus
“As I said at first, when all things were in disorder God created in each thing in relation to itself, and in all things in relation to each other, all the measures and harmonies which they could possibly receive. For in those days nothing had any proportion except by accident; nor did any of the things which now have names deserve to be named at all as, for example, fire, water, and the rest of the elements. All these the creator first set in order, and out of them he constructed the universe, which was a single animal comprehending in itself all other animals, mortal and immortal. Now of the divine, he himself was the creator, but the creation of the mortal he committed to his offspring.”

=====================

Paul saw this philosophy as the basis for deception in imperial politics. “Civilization” was being built with belief that the cult of death ruled over the law.

Colossians 2.8
http://bible.cc/colossians/2-8.htm
Don’t let anyone take you captive with philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men; according to the elemental spirits of the world; not according to Christ.

Paul had been a Pharisee for the law. (Phil.3:5)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharisees#A_Kingdom_of_Priests  

His zeal for persecuting Christians as apostates was grounded in the belief that enslavement to the law justifies the use of destructive power. There was some common ground between imperial polytheism and monotheism in this regard. The emperor was called the “high priest” insofar as he was believed to hold the power to call for the torture or the sacrifice of human life.

Paul maintained respect for the value of debate after his conversion to Christianity and his commission as an apostle when he expressed his disagreement with those among the apostles who would have the Gentiles subjected to the rite of circumcision. (Gal.3:20) His zeal for the law was converted to devotion to grace by virtue of his conversion.

Galatians 4:3
http://bible.cc/galatians/4-3.htm
When we were children, we were in slavery to the elemental spirits of the world.

Gal.4:9
http://bible.cc/galatians/4-9.htm
Now that you know God, do you wish to be enslaved to those elemental spirits?

======================

The elemental spirits in the elitist philosophy are identified with the destructiveness of nature. This destructiveness is used to justify investment in the political philosophy that promotes the industry of war and pre-occupation with oppression. This philosophy promotes increase in the elitist advantage. The wealthiest are given license to put their money into campaigns and lobbies that determine political outcomes.

The association of the destructiveness of the elemental spirits with the offspring of God was the basis for calling the emperor, the son of the god of war. This was to become the primary principle for Arian (Aryan) theology.

The Son was not co-equal in power with the Father according to Arius. He was the demi-urge of creation. Destruction was necessary for creation, correction and construction in this view. The Father was perfect by virtue of his detachment from destruction in creation. The emperor as high priest was called to expand the empire with human sacrifice in the exercise of military aggression and the use of the death penalty for criminals within the state (of conquered territories).

The emperor that accepted this calling was regarded as Christ by elitists. This was the ultimate corruption of faith in Jesus as Christ. Now the Son of God was not willing to sacrifice his own life as the servant of salvation from evil (homicide, genocide, zealotry [terrorism], violent crime), he was the agent who had sacrificed his life so he could kill others to oppress and expand the empire.

Elitist “science” is used to serve this agency for oppression and expansion. It doesn’t need to be “scientific” in regards to natural law. It needs to endorse and promote aggression as the primary principle for survival in life.

This political philosophy was not just an exercise in theory for discussion. It was used by every emperor who was seeking to “conquer the world” particularly in the history of western civilization.

The Nazi regime actively advocated Aryan theology as the basis for the “master race.” The ‘Aryan’ kind of theology is also being used by sectarian agents for state religion in any single party government on the globe. The “atavism” of the “avatars” is not limited to western society. Sectarian theology is often used as the basis for the philosophy of partisan partiality.

People of faith do not believe that war, oppression and violence are necessary for building civilization.

http://bible.cc/mark/13-6.htm  (fm. Mark 13:6-9)
There are those who claim to be the One, the offspring, the Christ; saying, “You must keep up with me.” Some will be deceived. You will hear of wars and natural disasters, but it is not a proof that the end is here. Be careful. There are those who promote discrimination for the offspring. When they are partisan or sectarian, they are for partiality. They are not for liberty with justice in the law. They seek only to punish or destroy those who do not support the elitist advantage for the One.

Protection
Fm. Psalm 16

I have said to God,
“You are my LORD;
my good above all other.
Protect me. I take refuge in you.”

My delight is with those who
live for goodness with liberty
and justice in the law.

Those who make false gods;
who make individual benefit
the only good;
will multiply their troubles.

Libations of blood will not be offered.
Incense will not be burned for destruction.
Declarations of support for elitism
will not be made.

You provide the portion for my cup, LORD.
You uphold the kindness of our kind.

The boundaries of a pleasant land
are the heritage of goodness.

I will bless the LORD for direction with counsel.
My heart teaches me to watch day and night.

I have set the justice of the law before me.
I will not fail to remember the poor.
I will promote liberty with justice
in the rule of the law.

================

Remember the poor.

Wisdom

Others,

I used to say that the dichotomy between good and evil is false. We have better a polarity with 'good and bad.' Excellence is the opposition to evil. Now I see that good and evil are contrasted to propose that democracy is better than elitism.

Turn from evil. Do good. Work to resolve conflicts with reason.
http://bible.cc/psalms/34-14.htm

Evil is a controversial word, yet it is a key component in countless stories. The association with the homicidal impulse is so implicit, it hardly warrants expression. So what is the controversy?

President Ronald Reagan had used it to describe the empire promoted by the Soviet Union during the superpower competition. So? It presented a hypocritical dilemma. It is not “objective” to call another entity evil for doing the same thing as the accuser.

The US and the Soviet Union were guilty of sending in the troops to decide national issues for the people in the invaded nation. Invasion is an aggressive act. A war of aggression is unacceptable in international relations.

If the homicidal impulse is used to define evil at an individual or social level, then the genocidal motive describes it politically. Is there choice in the matter? Yes. Is it enough to point at authoritarian regimes to say that they do it, so NATO doesn’t have to worry about doing it? No. Has NATO been guilty of infraction? Yes. NATO negotiated two wars of aggression. The current policy of killing suspects as "militants" and non-combatants as "collateral damage" with drone missiles is genocidal.

Socialism is a flawed form of government. Whether it proclaims communism or implies fascism, the representation promotes industrial leadership as absolute power. Industrial leadership has displayed a lack of tolerance for protest. Protest is protected by the freedoms for speech and assembly.

Read the story for an example of fascism at work. The judgment against “Pussy Riot” suggested support for the establishment of religion.
 http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-08-17/pussy-riot-verdict/57109992/1

protected by the freedoms for speech and assembly. The judgment against "pussy riot" also expresses support for the establishment of religion.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-08-17/pussy-riot-verdict/57109992/1

What can be done to promote good? This argument will be controversial as well. It is the motivation to control others by unfair advantage that supports the use of genocide to oppress people in both foreign and domestic arenas of operation.

The bill of rights gives us freedom of speech to express opinions. It gives us the right to vote. In short, it gives us the right to participate in the political decision making process. Vote for the correction of the elitist advantage. Stand opposed to genocidal operations, nationally and internationally.

Live with care. Work with wisdom, not self-destruction.
http://bible.cc/ephesians/5-15.htm

It is difficult to live with care, when the burden for the economy has been placed on the middle class. The elitist advantage creates a sense of powerlessness in the people of a democratic republic. The bill of rights was added to the Constitution in insure that the people would be represented. When the wealthiest don’t pay for their share, the middle and lower classes suffer. It is difficult to make ends meet.

The money is in the hands of the wealthiest and the elite are paying to keep it that way. When there were programs for the people, money circulated through the economy. The public sector helped to support the private sector. Now there is not as much money available for the middle and lower classes to make ends meet. It is all too easy for those who don’t have enough to obtain provisions to let despair drive actions into self-destruction.

The wealthiest are not exempted from despair. The unfair advantage manifests as mania. Mania is a form of powerlessness over power. Powerlessness engenders despair during the crash from mania.

Living with care becomes even more important in an unstable economic structure. Many of us have had our shadow days. Things were done that were not beneficial for safety, health or social relations. Often enough, the cost for these actions was unaffordable. Repair becomes the name of the game in recovery. We need to live with care for repair.

What is the best way to live? The search for design in life helps each to find that answer for personal and social benefit.

Wisdom has built her house with seven pillars.

Consider the wisdom of Piceras, the seven fundamental parts of life.
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/295/5563/2215.fullerlessness in the people of a democratic republic. The bill of rights was added to the Constitution to insure that the people would be represented. When the wealthiest don't pay for their share of the deficit, the middle and lower classes suffer. It is difficult to make ends meet.

The money is in the hands of the wealthiest and the elite are paying to keep it that way. When there were programs for the people, money circulated through the economy. The public sector helped to support the private sector. Now it is all too easy to let despair drive actions into self-destruction. This is true for the wealthiest as well since the unfair advantage manifests as mania.

Living with care however becomes even more important in an unstable economic structure. Many of us have had our shadow days. Recovery becomes the name of the game. We need to live in repair.

Now look at this re-write for ancient writ.

cidal motive describes it politically. Is there choice in the matter? Yes. Is it enough to point at authoritarian regimes to say that they do it, so NATO doesn't have to worry about doing it? No.

What can be done? This argument will be controversial as well. It is the motivation to control others by unfair advantage that supports the use of genocide to oppress people in both foreign and domestic arenas of operation.

The bill of rights gives us freedom of speech to express opinions. It gives us the right to vote. In short, it gives us the right to participate in the political decision making process. Vote for the correction of the elitist advantage. Stand opposed to genocidal operations nationally and internationally.

"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
there's still time to change the road you're on."

Wisdom
Ps34 Prov9

Please, give me an understanding mind
to love other people; to choose good;
to turn from evil; to complete the work
that has been set before me.

Fear fear;
too much or too little
causes harm..

Fear apathy;
that which takes caring
and concern from you.

Fear panic;
that which disables movement
when you need to move
or makes you run into harm
when moving elsewhere is safest.

Fear mania;
that which makes the destruction
of others the motivation for movement.

Young lions suffer hunger,
but those who save surplus,
conserve energy
and preserve resources,
respect providence.

Those who respect provision
from the Creator
lack nothing that is good.

Wisdom has built her house
with seven pillars. Each day
is part of the building.
Each week builds the month:
each month the year;
each year a decade;
each decade a life.

Wisdom has gathered her provisions.
She has prepared the meal
and mixed the wine with water.
The table has been set.
Invitations have been sent.

She says,
“Come. Taste my bread.
Drink my wine. Listen to me.

“Leave immaturity.
Turn from evil. Do good.
Seek peace. Pursue it.
Make decisions with insight.
Walk in the way of life.”

Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
Those who look for goodness will act
for the love of others as well as self.
Lessons will be learned in the process.
Understanding is built, torn down
and re-built.

=====================

Goodness is essential to the quality of life. The search for it is the goal for both government and religion. What does this mean? Goodness has objective properties. Survival is regarded as a good for the life of the species. Obtaining provisions for existence is something that is necessary for the survival of each. Goodness also has subjective properties. There are things that are simply a matter of taste. 

Find goodness. Share it when it’s right. Share that amount that is appropriate for the independence of any who are receiving it.

Dave Matthews - So Much to Say
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgJOjB8-e8w&feature=fvwrel

"I say my hell is the closet I’m stuck inside;
Can’t see the light.
And my heaven is a nice house in the sky.
Got central heating
and I’m alright…
Treading trodden trails for a long long time...
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself.
Sometimes, I find it better to be somebody else."

Look for goodness with faith. Find it. Enjoy it.
Share it when you can.

Genocide

The elitist advantage has been used for wars of aggression.
Wars for aggression kill people to oppress others.
The elitist advantage is genocidal.

Vote for the correction of the advantage.

Others,

Since the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11/01, US foreign policy has undergone some dramatic changes. The FBI investigation of suspected terrorist events was not used, but the official story was “backed up” by “experts” who argued that the WTC towers were destroyed by the jet fuel that had escaped from the airliners that had crashed into the towers. WTC tower 7 was destroyed even though no airliner was flown into it.

The official story stated that “Arab terrorists” had hijacked the planes. Afghanistan was identified as the location for the “terrorist training camps.” The country was invaded to “bring justice” to the victims of the attack. The country has not shown that they represent human rights for the people of Afghanistan.

Iraq was invaded under the premise that they had stock piled weapons of mass destruction. The country was invaded and occupied though the UN investigation did not find WMD’s.  Does Iraq have a bill of rights or are they puppets for western power?

Not only is the US still in Afghanistan, but there are American base camps in Iraq as well. It has been asserted that the war on terror is over, but NATO has initiated a policy of killing militants with bombs. Now the suspects who had been identified as “terrorists” are called “militants.” The non-combatants that are killed are still considered “collateral damage.” The current policy is still using procedures that had been initiated during the “war on terror.”

The account that “Arab terrorists” had destroyed the WTC towers was only the first step in what would become an openly sectarian assault on the Muslim world. When a suspect or a non-combatant is killed, it is murder. When large numbers of people are killed in order to oppress a population, it is genocide.

Does this story come as a surprise?

Armed Men Attacked Peacekeeping Force in Sinai
http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=280896

Naturally, troops have to return fire when fired upon, but are they keeping peace for representative government? There is an uneasy feeling that the attack on the force in the Sinai is reminiscent of raids conducted by the ‘Apiru (Hebrews) on the established communities of the time. Western forces are being attacked by our spiritual ancestry.

The US finally attained a return to respect as a participant in global leadership when the former Secretary General for the UN, Kofi Annan, was called upon to lead an envoy into Syria in an attempt to head off violent revolution and establish a representative government.

Hopefully, it has become apparent to the western world that China has not only survived as a communist nation despite the fall of the Soviet Union and the eastern bloc, they have done well economically by maintaining a foreign policy wherein they only trade military supplies and supply advisers. They don’t send their army into foreign countries. We have something to learn from the love of our “enemy.”

We lost our way when we started shooting first and asking questions later. The administration for the US had actually discussed “first strike” policies as theoretically justifiable in legal terms. They had also talked about “enhanced interrogation techniques” such as water boarding and extreme rendition as though they were legally justifiable.

We cannot support a foreign policy that doesn’t uphold the principles promoted by the Constitution with the Bill of Rights. The war on terror re-instated imperialism with genocide. It is past time to eliminate the vestiges of something that had supposedly been stopped by World War II.

Goodness
Ps34, Ps130, Jhn6, Eph4

My soul waits for guidance;
more than the watchman for the morning;
more than the watchman for the morning.

Do not grieve the Spirit
who has marked you with oil
as a seal for holiness.
You have been sealed
for the day of redemption.

Put away falsehood.
Speak truth to others.
We are members
of the same community.
Work honestly with your own hands.
Save something to share
with the needy.

Feel angry, but do no harm.

Cry to the sky
from the depths
of your soul,
“I would die before hurting another,
but I feel that I am no better than my ancestors.
Let hate be taken from me.”

“Please consider my request.
If you were to condemn error,
who could stand?
There is forgiveness with you.
You will be respected.”

Wait for the LORD.
Have faith.

Let go of wrath, wrangling and slander.
Put aside all malice.
Be kind, tenderhearted and forgiving.

Use your energy to get things done.
Speak about your feelings,
but find something to say that will
build relations for the future
in the community.

Impart grace through your words.
Those who listen will hear.

Jesus said to the people,
“I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me
will not hunger.
Whoever believes in me
will not thirst.
I am the bread from heaven.”

“Your ancestors ate manna
in the wilderness, yet they
broke the law against killing
before crossing into the Promised Land.
They have died. This is the bread
that comes from heaven.
If you eat it, you will not die.

“I am the living bread
that has descended from heaven.
Taste and you will see
that I am good.
Whoever consumes
this goodness
will live forever.”

Forgive one another
as God in Christ has forgiven you.
Forgiveness given
with respect for consequence
will earn respect.

Be imitators of God,
beloved children.
Live in love
as Christ lives in you;
a fragrant offering
to the community.

I look for an answer. My hope is for good reason. Guess I’ll just have to look around.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Look Around
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnisBb2rVOg&feature=branded

"Soft walk to horizon,
one big crash that no one dies in.
This for the folks in Fayetteville.
It'll come true if you say it will.
Look around. Look around. Look around."

The elitist advantage makes the government of a country into a fascist enterprise. Government is controlled by the elite to profit from the industry of war. Look at the candidates carefully in the upcoming elections. Vote for those who will correct the elitist advantage.

Look around. Vote for the correction.

The Red Door

Others,

There was a red door. It was the cry for war. War however, was just a distraction for genocide.

Genocide is not an acceptable tool for government. The western coalition needs to look for who will be recognized to replace Assad when his regime falls.

The Syrian National Congress represents the Sunni majority. They will have to negotiate representation for the minority Christians and Alawites. This is where freedom of religion plays a part. This is where the other freedoms and rights of the constitution factor into play. Representation has to include minorities without making a minority interest the rule of law.

The following re-write celebrates the movement away from destruction as the basis for leadership.

Destruction
Ps24 Ps85 2Sam6  Eph1 Amos7

Our beloved had gathered
all the chosen from the competition.
They set out from the station
with the leaders of praise
to bring up the ark of the promise
with the wings of passage to life.
The workers of the earth
brought it from the house
on the hill of nobility.

The earth is our foundation;
the world and all who dwell therein
belong to the love for creation.
We are the workers of the earth.

It is the CREATOR who raised the land above the seas
and made it firm between the currents of the deep.

Who can ascend the hill of nobility
and dance before the ark of promise?
Those who have not pledged themselves
to destruction nor devoted themselves
to falsehood may rejoice with love.

Our beloved brought out the ark
to the city of peace with rejoicing.
Christ danced before the fulfillment of the promise
and made contributions to celebrate community
with dancing and sounds of joy.

Lift up your heads, O people;
lift them high as though you were raising gates.
You are the doors; the passage for truth.
You will become part of the fulfillment.

There is a plumb line
for constructing competition;
the location for derision
will be left desolate;
the sanctuaries for contempt
will be brought down.

Condemnation
by accusation
will be stopped.
Justice will be achieved
by scientific investigation
with due process of law.
We will win liberty
by respecting
our rights together.

I will listen to what the LORD God is saying.
Words of peace are being spoken to the faithful;
to those who turn their hearts to faith.

Salvation is near those who fear
the deception of perception;
Mercy and truth have met.
Righteousness and peace have kissed.

Integrity will spring up from the earth;
Glory will shine down from heaven.

Free will was pre-destined from before the beginning.
We were designed for adoption as children of God.
When you heard the word of truth, the gospel of salvation,
you were marked by the zeal of the seal with promise
in the Holy Spirit. This is the pledge of our inheritance:
we are being redeemed from destruction as God’s own people
to the praise of the greater glory.

The LORD will grant prosperity.
Our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before us.
The uncreated light will be a pathway
for our feet.

======================

The UN is managing intervention with fact finding missions in Syria.

The invasion of Afghanistan had circumvented the FBI investigation of suspected terrorist acts and UN investigation of claims regarding terrorist camps.

There was a red door. It was the cry for war. It was the claim that we were under attack by “terrorists” from training camps in Afghanistan. The claim was not investigated. The invasion was an act of aggession.

Like the destruction of the WTC towers, it was assumed that the officials who constructed the official story knew what had happened. The trouble is that they knew that they were moving the US around pre-cautions against military invasion. They knew that they had made the red door. They also knew that they were blaming it on “Arab terrorists” so they could force regime change in a neighbor to China and Iran.

The escalation of military action in Viet Nam had been justified by the claim that US vessels had been attacked. They failed to mention that the vessels were in North Vietnamese waters.

I see a red door.

I want to paint it black. I want to go back. The investigation into the destructive events in the US on 9/11/01 needs to be re-opened.
