2月19日 Truth Overboard!"...This isn't about "cutting off funds for troops" (G.Bush 2007) ......It's about cutting off funds for the war.....and is sadly, not a newly contrived misconception. In 2001, the Howard federal government in Australia deliberately misled citizens to believe that a number of children had been thrown overboard from a “suspected illegal entry vessel” (or SIEV) which had been intercepted off Christmas Island between Australia and Indonesia. The purpose was to create fear in peoples' minds in Australia as regards refugees generally.
The vessel, designated SIEV 4 by the navy, was carrying a number of "asylum seekers", many of them Iraqi and Afghani refugees, and believed to be operated by "people smugglers". A subsequent inquiry by a Senate select committee found that not only was the "children overboard" claim untrue, but that the government knew the claim to be untrue before the Federal elections, which were held one month later. Nevertheless, the smear tactic won them the election. The motivation of those allegedly throwing their children overboard, according to those in government who reported the incident, was to effectively "force" the Royal Australian Navy to rescue the children and their parents. The claim was used to cast doubt on the passengers of SIEV 4 as genuine refugees, instead characterising them as people prepared to use unscrupulous means to gain illegal entry into Australia. The claim was first announced by the Minister for Immigration and repeated in subsequent days and weeks by senior Government ministers, including the Minister for Defence and the Prime Minister. The pictures which had been purported to show that children had been thrown into the sea were taken during a rescue after SIEV 4 had sunk. When this was discovered, Howard claimed that he was acting on the intelligence he was given at the time. It was later revealed that prime minister Howard had been informed on 7 November that the claim was false. On 26 February 2006 Howard said, "They irresponsibly sank the damn boat, which put their children in the water". See http://safecom.org.au/kids-overboard.htm

2月18日 E=MC^2.... Indeed...maybe not...?!?!Energy exists in limitless abundance in the cosmos.......We mostly have no appreciation of what energy really is and how to utilise it.....it is not really a derivative of mass or matter but the source of matter. Electrons and other atomic partices are really only packets of energy manifesting form! Single Gun Theory..........."Flow, River of My Soul"........ "energy never disappears, it only changes form...... the most important factor is.....the release of all belief systems, boundaries and fears.....". The Third Freedom will be Service.....The path to Freedom...... It is easy to learn from the masters but quite another thing to put it into practice. Much is demanded and self-mastery is achieved only by this path. All thinking individuals should practice .......and the world will be a better place........The Third Freedom will be SERVICE........
Freedom from selfishness is SERVICE. In these days there is much SERVICE which is vitally important to Terra. There are few servers. SERVICE is a culmination of experiences which denote the server as being on the ladder of Evolution, firmly on this ladder.Those who have a yearning desire to serve and indeed are doing so, are those who have slain selfishness; are those who are gradually overcoming their lower materialistic aspects; are those who are, sometimes slowly, but nevertheless surely, advancing towards Enlightenment.
In these days upon Terra, it is selfless action, called SERVICE which will count in your Initiations of tomorrow. Your SERVICE to others will be known and you will judge yourselves accordingly. If you would burn up your lower Karmic aspects, you would serve. If you would, at this very moment, begin to build tomorrow's temple upon the sure foundations of today's right action, you would serve. If you would be free from the materialistic prison cunningly de�vised to enslave you, you would serve. If you would be detached from your own petty worries, you would serve. If you would enjoy better health, you would serve. If you would prepare yourselves for the New World, you would serve. SERVICE is indeed a glorious undertaking! It is lasting, for every act of SERVICE is written in everlasting letters of fire in the Akashic Book. When you walk into the Halls of self judgement, you will read what your own hand hath written upon these pages and by the immutable Law of Karma, you will accordingly set limitation upon your rebirth. Break away from your own troubles by concentrating upon the sufferings of others. Serve in the great Spiritual battle and you can walk with head high and stand in any Hall unafraid to read what be written there. "The greatest Yoga is - SERVICE.
The greatest Religion is - SERVICE. The greatest act is that act done in - SERVICE. Kill possession. Transmute selfishness into SERVICE for others and your reward will come. Enlightenment, like the break of dawn upon the darkest night, will cast the shadows of this night before it. Serve - and you will become Enlightened. Serve - and you will be practising true selfless Love. "Serve - and the mighty Power of Kundalini will rise in natural, unforced fashion and open the Chakra jewels in your higher bodies, in will pour inspiration and you will be standing on the verge of the Initiation into Adeptship. There are no words great enough to describe the wonder of SERVICE. And no words can describe the crime of selfishness. Know this. Whether you like it or not does not matter, it is the Truth ........If you believe it not today, terrestrial man, you will know it in your morrow. What is SERVICE but Love in practical action. SERVICE is the result of applied Spiritual logic. It is the lasting flower in the garden of Enlightenment. SERVICE is the Jewel in the Rock of Attainment. There are many ways to serve upon Terra. Look around you and see ignorance, suffering, want, hate, greed, selfishness, war, murder, robbery, violence in every form. See how people, the young ones, are being deluded. There are many ways, indeed, to serve. By your SERVICE you can help to heal those who are sick and you should. By your SERVICE you can help to give encouragement and strength to those who are depressed and weak and you should do this. By your SERVICE you can throw a dazzling beam of scintillating white vibrant energy into the darkness of a suffering world, and raise it. It is, by God it is, the Jewel in the Rock of Attainment. It is the great practice in these days. One person who is rendering true Spiritual SERVICE, not self delusion, but true Spiritual SERVICE to those who need it, is worth ten who retreat from the suffering of others in order to bring about a state of joy and peace within themselves. This declaration do I throw into every mental realm. I would inform those aspirants, who, in total disregard of human needs, retreat into the wilderness: 'Come you hence, for you are fools!' SERVICE, my friends is greatness. Serve and be great! Nay, be Everlasting. The Second Freedom will be LoveThe Second Freedom will be LOVE.........
"Upon Terra this word is wrongly used. LOVE is not the measure of emotion, whether soft or violent, it is something deeper, something greater, something which cannot be measured even in mind conception. LOVE is an all permeating energy which is above mind. It is the third degree manifestation of the Initial Creative Force ("OM"). The Initial Creative Force is but an energy which can bring into being, Original Potential. The second degree Creative Force is that energy which binds together this potential bringing manifestation. The third degree Creative Force is that energy known as LOVE. Freedom from hate can only be brought into active manifestation by its exact opposite polarity. LOVE is the exact opposite from hate, when in basic manifestation. Yet it is more than this much more. Being as it is, an energy which has different octaves of existence, it is mutable and transmutable upon all of these levels back to its one basic source thus it is the great energy of the Cosmos. Freedom from hate can only be brought into being by the manifestation of LOVE upon all levels of existence. LOVE is a natural energy, all pervasive, greater than mind, so therefore, it can be contacted and brought into active manifestation by all terrestrials. LOVE is the transmutes of war. It is the Creator of Peace. LOVE as such is the Healer of disease. Manifestation of The Second Freedom will bring to Terra - Freedom from want. Freedom from war. Freedom from disease. Freedom from one's lower self. Freedom from hate. Freedom from basic emotionalism. The manifestation of this one basic Freedom gives, as its prize, all basic Freedoms, with little exception. How is this manifested? LOVE is more than a state of mind - it is a state of whole being. "When terrestrial man begins to realize his true position in the Cosmos, he must then begin to manifest this great Power. LOVE is not the result of ignorance, but the direct result of applied Enlightenment. Become Enlightened, gain understanding of the feelings and problems of all peoples and LOVE becomes a living, vibrant, all-pervasive thing ................the slayer of LOVE is hypocrisy. Many, content in their procrastinations, hypocritically talk and bandy this word about, 'til it hath no meaning, save a vague, misunderstood academic one. It is an active, living thing. The energy - the Freedom called LOVE - does not only exist on your Holy days, but throughout each day and each night. If terrestrial man manifests this Power during his waking state, he will also manifest this same Power during his sleep state, when part of the consciousness is still active .......... When such things as these are brought into active being throughout your whole lives, then indeed is this great energy released unto all men upon Terra. All things living - which means all things upon Terra - respond to the release of this great, all pervasive energy, especially if it be released in its highest form. LOVE is not possession. In its highest aspect, it is above all forms of individualization. It is impersonal. It is not binding as is possession, but it brings Freedom. Manifest this great, true, impersonal Power in your every thought and action during your waking state, then it will still be manifested by you during your projected state which you call sleep. Of all the subjects spoken of in terrestrial Religions, LOVE might have been mentioned more than any other Power; yet, it is the Power which is least understood. "LOVE is sacrifice�real sacrifice. If ever there was one thing sure, it is this: at your command there is a whole Macrocosmic System filled with this energy ........... The Second Freedom is LOVE - true LOVE. Manifest this - and mould your future ........." The First Freedom will be Bravery"Co-operation will save you....." Bravery is the first step towards Enlightenment........ from "The Nine Freedoms" by Dr. George King (Aetherius Press) "BRAVERY is essential in all things, for while the aspirant allows the negative accumulation of fear to discolour his outlook, he cannot ever truly aspire to Freedom. Freedom from fear can be brought into active manifestation within all men providing they have knowledge. Knowledge of the right kind dispels fear, whether the manifestation of this fear be petty or more potent. It is not necessary for man upon Terra to fear man upon Terra, for if you obey the Unchangeable Laws, indeed by your obedience do you burn fear in the bright light of dawning Enlightenment. Man upon Terra today is beset by strange fears which imprison his actions, his very outlook; which imprison his mind ................. Fear is a weapon being now used by the darkest forces to cause you to become their ignorant pawns. Break away from this fear ............ Break away from this tight bondage by so Enlightening yourselves that this weapon may be rendered useless. Study fear for what it is. Study it coldly without emotion. You will discover that it is but a state of mind which you have formulated for yourselves. This state of mind is the result of Karma, environment and present outlook. Karma�you can, at this very moment, make for yourself a Karmic pattern which, when manifested, will not bring vague fear as a result. You can rise above environment, for it is a changing thing, it is not real ............ A state of mind can be changed at once for good or for evil. It is just as easy to have a state of mind unclouded by fear as it is to allow it to be warped by this intrusion. Have this outlook upon Life. Act in this way and fear becomes non-existent. When fear has been transmuted in the fires of applied knowledge, tempered by Love, you become Wise. In your Wisdom there is fortitude and BRAVERY. The First Freedom - dispel fear. Go forth into BRAVERY and you will know many things, for you will have taken an essential step upon the ladder of Evolution. There will come a day when you will be examined in this Light. Prepare for tomorrow's examination now and Mastery will be yours............."
