Solar Flares, Social Consciousness and A New Mysterian Synopsis.

I’m finding an odd correlation between, solar flares, a dampened synaptic system, 2012, global coherence, human spiritual evolvement and thoughts of an optimistic future. I’ve been focusing on Carl Jung’s Synchronicity and todays unraveling metaphysics truths. I am not alone and what once was considered “pseudo psychology” is now a looming reality of our existence. There have been countless apocalyptic theories regarding doomsday theories. 2012, has been the latest of these end of civilization fears. Personally I have never thought 2012 (Mayan calendar) to be a prophesized event of the earths’ oblivaion. I have always believed it to suggest a change. A change where by we humans, come together and work with the wonder of nature.

Recently I watched director Joao Amorim’s documentary film “2012: Time for Change”.  In the film narrator Daniel Pinchbeck, explores tribal wisdom and modern scientific methods, with empirical results. From various interviews with schlors, artist, and theorist, Pinechbeck reveals the notion that 2012 is possible a time for change, by which we can redesign society, ecologically for the better. The film confirmed my own intuitive thoughts of 2012: advancing a rebirth of the interactive social human.  This rebirth would emphasize social coherence/social collaboration.  It is with this rebirth, we will make void individual monetary gains that have enudated us since the industrial revolution. We are embarking upon a rebirth by which civility removes social ills: and all life on earth becomes the epitomy of “The Kingdom of God” as depicted in Psalm 21:1. Gone are the stratified reglious conflicts that have only resulted in blood shed. Born is a common unified truth a higher power. Gone are the vicious counter attacks between science and divinity. Born is the metaphysical functioning of both. Bringing to the frontline of human development, notable physicists such as John Polkinghorn.

 

In November of 2010, while watching the Daystar Network, a Christian physicist explains the quantum physic, of Jesuss’ walk upon the Sea of Galilee. As I watched in awe, my spirit rejoiced, “Thank Lord, we’ve finally come to terms over which are the sole truth. Thank you Lord,  for guiding us to this regenerating phase.”  Amorim’s documentary details similar thoughts of  merging the spiritual and natured realms, for a harmonious co-existing.

All of this empowering spiritualism has made me define myself as a MYSTERIAN in practice. The new mysterians maintains that humankind is not capable of understanding consciousness in it’s’ infinity. (Wikipedia, 2012)   However we are very capable of evolving and attaining harmonious affect, control and change of the earth. We are headed towards a new spiritual, social and scientific consciousness, which core basis is a metaphysical discipline. (Zaria, 2008)  The mysterian with their out of the box frame of mind, is aware of the conscious evolution we are evolving to. Theorist such as Carl Jung, Julian Huxley, Sri Aurobindo, Abraham H. Maslow, Jonas Salk, Bela H. Banathy, Hank Wessleman, Mark Granvetter, James Hillman, Macolm Gladswell and countless others who are contributing to our new human conscious evolution.

 

In my last post introduced the concept of Solar Flare radition and its’ affect on humans. Having researched this issue further, I believe it might provide evidence as to how this new coherent human conscious evolution might manifest. As stated in the last post, solar flares are large explosion on the sun’s surface. From that explosion, large quantities of electromagnetic radiation are released into space.  When these explosions occur, they set into motion electrons, producing electromotive pulses, which are negatively charged as they enter the earth’s magnetic field. This creates a disturbance in the earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. The disturbance of solar particles in our electromagnetic spectrum produces various wavelengths, such as radio waves, x-rays, infrared, ultraviolet rays and gamma rays. (Benedict and Holman, 2007) It is well known that X-Rays and UV radiation effect radio communication and the human body. Ample research has documented that UV rays (ultraviolet rays) can cause skin cancer and cataracts. (Stanford Medicine, 2010). But only with recent research has this subject been analyzed with regards to human behavior.  

 

A lot of research is now re-examing Konig, Ankermuller and Wever work done in 1975. Their study detailed that the brain is sensitive to electromagnetic fields, suggesting that the central nervous system functions can be altered by electric particles. Such delays could result in memory problems, thought processing, fatigue and irratibility.  Konig, Ankermuller and Wever stated behavioral changes from ”…electric fields at 5-15Hz with peak amplitude of 2-10V/m…” were very possible. (Adey, 2006) These behavioral changes were characterized as shortening synaptic reaction time and altering circadian rhythms.  Konig, Ankermuller and Wever study concluded that at frequencies of 300 Ω.cm is where a threshold may exist, by which behavior is affected by electromagnetic radiation. (Adey, 2006)

 

Another recent aspect regarding solar flares and human endangerment, is proton storms. Proton storms are energetic particles such as protons and electrons.  It has been suggested, that biochemical damage can be induced by proton storms. (NASA, 2005) Proton storms are produced in solar winds, and usually are only hazardous to astronauts. However in high concentrations, these protons can reach the earth’s surface and affect us. Robert Lin a Solar Physicist, states, “… Proton storms normally develop hours or even days after a flare…Proton storms cause all kinds of problems. They interfere with radio communications. They zap satellites, causing short circuits and computer reboots. Worst of all, they can penetrate the skin of space suits and make astronauts feel sick…” (NASA, 2005)

A Congressional Report on Electromagnetic Pulses was submitted to congress in 2004 and 2008. This report open for questioning, the possible reality of the damaging impact of electromagnetic pulses. Although this report was commission in reference to terrorist attack, using High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) and High-Power Microwave (HPM) as weapons: it provides evidence of governmental concern with the effect of magnetic radiation upon humans. As I read through the report, I found it interesting that report states that gamma rays, while ionized in the atmosphere (EMP) last in short durations, …”that current cannot start flowing through a human body, to cause harm to people…”(Wilson, 2008, pg. 16) However in this same report, data concerning HPM’s is stated as being: “… energy at higher power levels (megawatts), and powered for a longer time interval, reportedly could cause physical harm to persons near the source emitter, or possibly in the path of a narrowly focused energy beam…” (Wilson,2008, pg.9). Of course this report is detailing weapons of destruction, but the ideal of physical harm from electromagnetic waves is established.

The report did not detail the thermal effect of electromagnetic pulses. Studies on this subject suggest that with increased electromagnetic fields, the body’s tissues increase in temperature.  For example, cellular phones emit similar electromagnetic pulses, which can increase the brains temperature by less than 0.1 Celsius, causing some possible damage or changes to the synaptic process. (Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum, 2011) In all of these instances, the important factor to consider in reference to solar flare affects on human behavior, were that the damaging resulted evidence, all procurred because of long durations of exposure to electromagentic radition. At this time, it has not been established the amount of solar radition neccessay, to result in change. However this is not the question of concern. The question of concern is the possibility of continued solar flare storm through 2012 and 2014, being a trigger to coherent conscious evolution?

The most recent solar flare occurred on March 6, 2012, it was an X Class titled X5 -.6.  The solar particles from X5-.6 reached the earths’ magnetosphere on March 11, 2012. Although no definite forecast can be made, detailing the next solar flare eruptions. NASA  has confirmed that they will continues to keep a watchful eye on the suns activity until 2014, when the sun would have completed its’ 11 year cycle. (Fox, 2012) You can get a daily forecast of solar activity at www.spaceweather.com

Solar Particles and Human Emotions

SOLAR PARTICLES and HUMAN EMOTIONS

By: Paul Dewitt Goree  2012 Phoenix, Arizona

 

This is an ongoing research attempt, in which I am pondering the question of solar activity and its effect on human cognitive skills. Prior posts have suggested that frequencies are instrumental in our daily operation. And that coherence to human emotional frequencies is a possible answer for many of our global social issues. (Cooper, 2002)

Doc Childre and Howard Martin working with the Heartmath organization, suggest that everything starts with the heart. The heart generates a measurable frequency, which is electromagnetic. These frequencies alter and are correlated with emotional states. (Cooper, 2002)  Childre and Martin have developed several positive heart development/stress reduction modular, terming them “quantum nutrients.” These nutrients vary from regular exercising, good eating habits, relaxation and emWave2 (a computer compatible device that provides a simultaneous state of relaxation, readiness and revitalization.) (Childre and Martin, 2011)

Much has been stated about Childre and Martin, with Global Coherence. But lately I have been venturing into a much obscure area of this frequency concept. For me it started in June 2011, when I was following NASA and NOVA related stories concerning the effects of coming solar particles in our ionosphere. The stories basically explained, how solar flares are common in our earthly history, and that they do not harm humans. The most effect would be disruption of gps systems, communication satellites and due to the particles themselves in the ionosphere, a spectacular aurora borealis display. (Lovett, 2012)

Yet something seems unexplained to me. If a portion of our human physical essence is nothing more than energy. Whereby energy can be measured in frequencies. Of which frequencies are altered by magnetic fields. Then why is it ludicrous to ponder, if these solar flares affecting our ionosphere, can have a similar effect on our physical energy/frequency?  If cellular phones with there microwave radiation is damaging to humans, then why wouldn’t gyrosynchrotron radiation at microwave frequencies, from solar flares be? (Holman, Gordan) The effect I suggest would be in our emotional state of being and in our energy levels. Since June 2011, when the first solar storm occurred, I have noticed a difference in the sun intensity and it’s relation with me emotionally. Following the journal and news articles I was reading at the time, I speculated that these feelings would increase throughout 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 (when the solar storm is expected to end). This year we have experienced two major solar storms, and I still feel odd. I feel as if I’m detaching. I feel awkwardly peaceful (not as concerned about life in general). I feel as if I have to generate more energy to think, whereas if I simply relax, problems somehow get resolved. I feel very alienated from people who are aggressive and angered. I smile a lot more, and overall am happy.

The problem with all of this is that I feel as if I’m zoning out consciously, and yet emerging into the sub-conscious realm of our reality. Strange, yes I know, but then I have come across some research of others who are feeling the same way.  Such new age thinkers like, Angela Artemis, whose work details how to unleash emotions magnetically.

 Artemis states;

                “…Each emotion has its own frequency as well. I don’t think there’s anyone who would disagree that there’s a marked difference between being around someone who’s joyous and someone who’s depressed. The frequency level that we emit has everything to do with how other people respond to us. I’m much more attracted to be around the joyous person, aren’t you?” (Artemis, 2010)

 

Another new age thinker on this subject, is Mitch Battros.  Battros work suggest that the solar storms we are experiencing, do have an effect on our physical state of being, especially our emotions.  Battros details his thoughts concerning frequencies and the effect it has on the central nervous system.  Battros states;

“ …When examining differential effects of slow (1 Hz) and fast (10 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the left or right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on random number generation (RNG) performance, it was found increased confusion or increased excitement could be controlled by magnetic pulse…” (Battros, 2006)

Battros full work (four essays) explaining “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation” can be found at http://earthchangesmedia.com/publish/article-9162513169.php .  The following video details Battros thoughts. It is a live radio interview with Clyde Lewis of the Ground Zero Show.

Global Co-Herence Project

Last year this time, I started doing some research on something amazing titled, Global Co-Herence Project. I asked around on different blog to see what others thought about this ideology. Many called it “Dooms Day Theory: 2012 Rhetoric. Well I’m glad I didn’t take the advice of those person. I did further research and found the entire ideal amazing. On this blog you can read various post I wrote about the subject. I stated that it seems to me that there are 3 main division of Global Co-herence that explain the entire ideology. They are 1.) Geo-Magnetic (how the earth and magnetic fields work) 2.) A Metaphysical 3.) Social Consciousness (How we socially perceive our reality). I found that alot of the theories I was learning incorporated some aspects of Global Co-Herence. Theories by Jean Rousseau, John Herschel, John Locke, CARL JUNG, Mark Granvetter, David Gladwell, Kola Borehole,Thomas Hobbes, Howard Gardner, Richard Tarnas, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Harold Coulander, John Polkinghorne: and how could I not mention the original founders of the ideology behind HEARTMATH: Rollin McCraty, Doc Childre and Roger Nelson.
I still have alot of faith in Global Co-Herence and urge everyone to check it out. From the minute level, Heartmath can teach you how to reduce your stress level, which can work wonders on your body, mind and life. At the max. Global Co-Herence can help explain our human inter-connection. One of the ealrier examples given by Dr. Rollin McCraty, was he mentioned an event that effected the world. Think back to the day, Princess Diana died. Recall how you felt, that energy you individually felt was magnified by others around the world, feeling the same remorse and sadness. Princess Diana’s death created a collective conscious frequency, which affected our ionosphere. That example has remained in my mind, and has urged me to look farther into the great possibilities of Global Co-Herences.

The following is a Youtube short video explaining Global Co-herence.

Obama Phone (FCC Redistributing Opportunity)

OBAMA PHONE (FCC Redistributing Opportunity)
By: Paul Goree

The joke around Washington D.C. and on “Obama Hate Radio Stations” is that President Obama and his administration is wasting tax payer dollars, on redistributing taxes to support the cost of free cell phones for all welfare recipients and medicaid recipients. This joke is still in spin as conservatives grasp for every bit of relevant policy enacted by Obama, to sensationalize it and turn it in some shock radio/journalism protest against President Obama and his ability to be President (second term).

The need for telephone service is nothing new, within the homes of many welfare recipients, who due to their below/or at poverty level status, cannot afford, what some might consider a luxury item of conveniency. Could you imagine your life without a telephone? If you wanted to empower yourself with employment, obtaining a job would be hassle and quite embarrassing as potential employers may wish to call you back, but have a forwarding number and are required to leave message at unknown numbers. Without a phone, emergency become more of a tragic event, as it becomes impossible to call out. And what about the working single mothers/fathers who just wants to call home and check on their children. The telephone is a very essential tool necessary for communication.

The Glenn Beck types of our times, would have you believe that welfare recipients are not worthy of telephone service, unless they pay for it themselves, like the rest of working America (myrightwingdad.blogspot.com/2009/10/fw-free-obama-cell-phone-for-welfare.html) It no surprise to me that the information coming from these straight lace conservatives, is false and simply shock value spin, of what actually is going on.

The so termed, “Obama Phone” actually has nothing to do with President Obama, and simply reflects prior legislation achieved during his administration. The formation of what today is Safelink and América Móvil, (the distributors of the free cell phones) began with the 1934 Telecommunication act, which required telecommunication companies to finds some way to subsides services for the poor and rural areas. The thought then, was that companies would bypass rural areas and low income areas, in search of sales. In 1996, as part of the Telecommunication Act 1996, Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) was created to formally oversee the distribution of service for poverty targeted groups. The FCC’s goal was to provide universal service for all Americans. This new revision was enacted by President Bush, with funds approved by President Clinton, from a legacy act pass by President Roosevelt, is over 80 years in the making. Finally this program is functioning as dreamed, and it’s a shame that it is being criticized wrongly just because it attempts to redistribute wealth to all Americans through social welfare.

Today, any welfare recipient (this includes Medicaid, Section 8, SSI, NSL, LIHEAP,TANF) or person who’s total annual income is below 135% of the state or federal guidelines, can simply call the Safelink 800 number or visit the Safelink website, where they easily fill out a form (less than 5 questions) to see if they are eligible for a free cell phone. The phone service continues with welfare eligibility, if the person decides to remove themselves or is removed from welfare, they are able to keep the phone free of charge, but will have to start paying monthly service fees.
There are two types of phone, Motorola 175 and the LG300.

The phone has the following service planes:
Option 1: 250 minutes – no rollover, 1 text message costs 1 minute
Option 2: 125 minutes – with rollover, 1 text message cost 1 minute
Option 3: 68 minutes – with rollover, 3 text messages cost 1 minute, international long distance to over 100 locations
The phone carries free insurance for replacement or lost/stolen phones, and the best part about this plan is that it’s absolutely free. Additional minutes can be purchased for the phone, if the recipient goes over their minutes.

This is what I call excellent social welfare. For a long time, welfare recipients (especially single working mothers/fathers) have worried about the need of a telephone, but could not afford the flux pricing telephone service often involves. Many believe that regular service client might find these free services unfair. I myself do not have a Safelink phone and pay about $250 a month on a family plan with Sprint. But I’m not complaining, because I like the ideal of redistribution. The FCC’s ideal of universal service helps those of us working or financially able to afford any phone of our choice, while still providing basic service to those who can’t. This provides proof that we can exist as within a Social Democracy and still have Capitalism function.

I am interested in hearing what you feel about the “Obama Phone”? Do you think it is good social welfare legislation? Or do you think the FCC revision is wrong and that those funds could be used to provide service some other way, than a free telephone? If you would like more information about Safelink, you can visit their website at Safelink.com or call them at 1-800-977-3768.

America On The Road To Ecomomic Recovery

President Obama, detailed his job creation plan September 8, 2011. In that speech he laid down some specifics as to what he wants to accomplish and how he plans on accomplishing job creation. The primary focus of the speech, suggested that the following are his intent:
1. Revamp Education
2. Infrastructure Improvements
3. Small business tax credits
4. Payroll tax cut for working Americans.

I will detail each of Mr. Obama’s intents, as to its economical possibility and my personal agreement or disagreement. Overall, I like the President, and believe he is doing as good as a job as prior Presidents (despite Obama Hate Radio campaign of the Glenn Beck type). However, I know for a fact that during his inauguration, he mentioned Infrastructure improvements as a possible job creation factor. Yet only a small percentage of actual jobs were created with funds received through the American Recovery Act 2009. Obama’s plan, called for $130 billion to states and local governments, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. (Mishak) I was living in the state of Nevada at the time. Nevada received a total more than $2.1 billion in federal money for infrastructure projects, such as roads, bidges and higway improvements. Although the funds did preserved nearly 4,500 jobs.(Lieb) The funds did not create as many new job opportunities as Obama and his administration planned. For infrastructure, Nevada received $270 million in infrastructure grants, $201 million of which is for highways. It was reported that, these funds basically were used to maintaining the current job projects, that the state had back logged. Thus no new jobs were really created with these funds.(Molly) So it will be interesting to see if the Presidents, new infrastructure actual creates jobs and how it will be monitored.

Revamping education: in his speech the president made it clear that education is important to society, for it is an externality that is a spillover benefit to society. (Brux 84) I couldn’t agree with him more. The ideal that the American children have to be educated in run down buildings, is a terrible dis-justice to our nation. The President pointed out, that 44% of principles have voiced opinions, that the inadequate conditions of the school had a negative effect on the child’s education. To remedy this, the President stated that he intends to refurbish/or build 35,000 schools across the county. Putting to work, some of the 2,000,000 million unemployed construction workers. To ensure that these allocated funds are distributed correctly, the President stated that a National Infrastructure Bank would be establish to issue loans, based on two simple criteria. First, how badly is the project/school in need of service? Second, how will it affect the overall economy? This is inefficiency at its best, as detailed by Brux. (Brux 85) Again, the President is considering a spillover benefit that not only provides updated schools, but also helps the unemployment rate in many states, with construction employment.

The President continued his speech, expressing sentiments for economic growth. (Brux 4) The President, boldly stated to Congress, that if this bill is pasted, small business owners will see a difference tomorrow. His plan (upon passage of this bill) is to provide small business owners with a tax cut for hiring new employees. Small businesses will also have their payroll taxes cut in half. The Presidents, example was that if a small business hired 50 new employees that would amount to $80,000 in tax cuts. The President especially made this incentive an opportunity cost for Congress, when it comes to the employment of Veterans. (Brux 4) Small businesses would receive a $4,000 tax credit for hiring an unemployed Veteran. If the veteran was injured in the line of duty, that tax credit is increased to $9,000. The President, gave a brilliant, powerful example of opportunity cost again, when he state…” Should we keep tax loopholes for oil companies? Or should we use that money to give small business owners a tax credit when they hire new workers? Because we can’t afford to do both. Should we keep tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires? Or should we put teachers back to work so our kids can graduate ready for college and good jobs?” (Opportunity cost Brux 4)

I thought it was interesting the way the President went on to detail global production factors,with the production possibilities curve. (Brux 2) The President used a global perspective, when explaining available consumer choices, scarcity, available resources, efficient use of resources, quality, quantity and out dated technology. (Brux 2) He brought up a good point, not only for American consumers, but also for the worlds manufactures: …”If Americans can buy Kias and Hyundais, I want to see folks in South Korea driving Fords and Chevys and Chryslers. (Applause.) I want to see more products sold around the world stamped with the three proud words: “Made in America.” Not only will this remedy unemployment, but it will give a much needed boost to our GDP. (Brux 22)

Like many, I hoping that the Presidents intentions are seen through as Congress reflect upon their own Conservative verse Liberal ideologies and it relevance in economics. One of the primary reasons, I like Mr. Obama so much is his continued call for bi-partisan action. He believes that with bi-partisan action, the American Jobs Act can get passed. This would involve both Democrats and Republicans, to consider their own perspectives. Maybe they can walk the fence of bi-partisan action when it comes to economics and the welfare of our great nation.

I’d also like to mention, (seeming I have followed unemployment and Tier benefit allocation on this blog since 2008) that for the first time, the President sounded concern about the plight of 99′ers. Although he did not mention them by their “given id name, 99′ers” (too much of an shameful on part of Congress). He did state that something would be done to extend unemployment benefits to those who have not worked since this crisis began.

Reality of 1935 in the 21st Century: Unemployment

WOW the 21st century and I am feeling like the dreamt reality of BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN from 1935-1939. 1928 Harry McClintock performed his hit hobo country song, titled ‘The Big Rock Candy Mountain’ – uhm times seem so familiar!McClintock’s song is interesting, seeming that it demeans homeless persons and the extended unemployed (today’s 99ers). It jokingly suggest found comfort in miserable life conditions, twisted to the slacked false desires, of those displaced to long. It jokingly pokes fun of society’s warp views, in it’s attempt to define and stratify economic conditions, with undesirable characteristics. “…Where the handouts grow on bushes, and you sleep out every night.Where the boxcars all are empty, and the sun shines every day…”"…and the little streams of alcohol, come a tricklin’ down the rocks…There’s a lake of stew and a whiskey too…”
“…Ohh the birds and bees and the cigarette trees,the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings,in the big rock candy mountains…” and finally, the suggestive ending, “…I’ll see you all this coming fall, on the big rock candy mountain.” Let us pray that this economy recovers!!!

FDR Had Harry Hopkin, Obama Has Alan Kruegen.

FDR Had Harry Lloyd Hopkins, Obama Has Alan Krueger
By: Paul D Goree

On this blog I have detailed many, what I term, “Scholar Hero’s”. A Scholar Hero is a person I admire, who has contributed to the great move for Social Economic Justice in the United States of America. Harry Hopkins is now a Scholar Hero, for me. This blog has been comparing 1935 to 2008-2011 with regards to unemployment. President Obama’s “so-so” duty of handling unemployment, has leads to further welfare recipients, and should be a great concern to all of us. What I found so amazing about Harry Hopkin’s is his acute decision making ability. Harry Hopkin’s, besides being advisor to FDR, was also the head of the Civil Works Administration (CWA), while Harold Ickes Sr. led the Public Works Administration (PWA). Both Administrations were part of the New Deal, however both had varied results.
Mr. Ickes approach to handling the unemployment issue of the nation, dealt with unemployment indirectly, using private contractors, instead of the federal government itself. This approach did not utilize all the funds authorized, resulting in little effect to the millions of unemployed persons. Those private contractors were not able to convince businesses to expand their employment, during the nation’s greatest depression (Charles Peters and Timothy Noah). It is believed that this failed method is the same method utilized by President Obama and his administration, with the use of stimulus funds, which have not had a great dynamic effect on the unemployed. After 3 years of continuous growth from 2008 to 2010, the unemployment level is idle at 9.1% (www.bls.gov).
Roosevelt, discontent with Mr… Ickes poor result, the first year, allocated 1/3 of Ickes budget to Harry Hopkins. Hopkin’s primary effective strategy was to place as many as possible, unemployed persons directly on the Federal Governments payroll. Roosevelt goal of getting 4 million people employed by the coming summer was reached and Roosevelt redeemed some respect for what critic’s termed, “Alphabet Agencies”. The reason, Hopkin’s was successful had nothing to do with intellect or superior genius. This is my reason for having great respect for the man. Unlike Ickes, who was so afraid of his duty in regards to sentiments from critics and the press, Hopkin’s was fearless and indifferent to what the critics and press had to say. Dyer times call for decisive decision making, and one has to rely entirely upon their natural instinct. Ickes although effect in some public work projects, most notably The New York Triborough Bridge and some questionable housing projects, was too cautious when making decision that effected millions of Americans. He was slow to attend to issues and always worried about regulations and critic response. This is the wrong way to be during national emergencies. The better characteristic is that which Hopkin’s displayed, simply following one’s heart and facing the problem head on, knowing that critics are always going to criticize (that’s their job): you on the other hand have to be able to implement, without doubt what you feel is right and will benefit the majority of the population. I think that’s an admirable characteristic and it inspires me to see it in Mr.. Hopkin’s, who dealt with Social Services.
I wish President Obama, would take a hint from Hopkin’s and follow his natural instinct. Like Hopkin’s, President Obama has a genuine love for this nation and we the people. With such a genuine state of being, fear is senseless. Obama and his administration, believe they have a good economic advisor, Alan Kruegen. Krugen is a micro-economist, focusing on job creation and individual aspects that affect the unemployed sector of America, during this recession.

State Symbols (work in progress)

I want to see how many states have a reference to the union of our great nation within their flag, state seal or motto. A comparison of those states might suggest some kind of Jungian synchronization, at which point, I’ll create some type of stratified association of that states reference. My guess is that some unexplained event is associated. The event is latent, but the association carries a very powerful sub-conscious message to society. For example, the state of Texas and its single star. ARIZONA The first state is Arizona. 13 alternating stripes, representing the 13 colonies of the nation, united by the endeavors of a collective repressed people, in search of refuge from social and political repression. So what are the events that lead to 1776? Basically, some PEOPLE got tired of being regulated by A BIG GOVERNMENT. The idealism of revolution arising from discontent started this, and arises again in 1860. Revolution is the road to independence. What are the social cues that rattle PEOPLE, in such a way that they collectively assemble and advance into revolt? 1776 represents the threshold of tolerance. It has come to suggest, collective social power is obtainable with unification. The unification is simply a stratified notion of wrong doings, which is in contrast of what is right and just, under human terms. The tension between the two creates a collective wit, which is unstoppable. It fuels its own reason and because it is stratified it acts as a gateway, inviting any and all into a flame that burns with victory destined to be rebuilt from the ashes of the past. The primary reason this suggestion (1776) stirs emotions is because it is the wit of all; excluding the privileged or haves. As history has proven to us, those excluded are socially displaced in a society of life based on inherit merits or economic merits. These excluded 3rd class citizen are the very core of the true macro society. Yet they are degraded with social propaganda designed to keep them restrained. Somehow these excluded PEOPLE, become distanced from what the cause is and their very much needed, day to day survival. Their effort to survive, desensitized them to the very essence of what the person who represses them, has taken as a privileged right of their kind; which is also their right. They are subjected to a slew of interpersonal harassments and tactics that is the cause of a deflated self esteem and life ambition. There is an intentional attempt to condition them to the benefit of silence. And most disheartening to me, is they among themselves, already victims to social injustices, hate based on minute differences. At various times, these powerful PEOPLE united, have been represented in various societal roles within our nation. I am most interested in, the working poor and non-working poor surviving at or below the threshold poverty level of $21756 (2009 www.childstats.gov). These PEOPLE have been repressed twice, by the same power that provides the barest requirements to their exist. Currently, these PEOPLE are ever increasing in number as our nation experiences the ills of Capitalism, without just distribution of wealth. They are repressed once by their employers (note many great corporations McDonald’s, Amazon.com, Zappos.com, Kelly Services, UPSN etc- do make a conscious effort to empower their employees to successful rewards of a team effort) who offer minimum wages, no benefits or costly benefits and regulate supervision with micro management, which is alienating to workers, who come to work to work and not be demeaned by unfair business practices. The income and security earned by these industrious workers (blue collar laborers) cannot begin to be contrasted with the disportioned profit margin salaries, perks and bonuses received by a selective few of an entire team effort. They then are repressed again, by Capitalistic political agendas that enact legislation that increase their economic burden and effects the welfare of their children and families. These agendas result in educational budget cuts, which although not mention or maybe intended, have a hammering effect on the quality and security of their children futures. Their children are optioned, by the efforts of local government into, differing public schools, within the same system. They and their children are indebted with loans to attend higher educational institutions, and yet they are employed where another privileged higher salaried employee, is less affected by these social injustices, because of a non-redistributed ideology separates livelihoods. The salaried employee might be unaware of the effects, overcrowded class rooms, text book selection and courses offered have on another worker, who is at or below the poverty level. They may not be aware that within their work environment. Their effort (regardless of title) is a portion of a collective whole, resulting in differences within the macro society. I cannot for the life of me understand how and why some corporations refuse to consider the just nature of re-distribution of wealth, knowing that each individual worker’s value is equal in the end result. No product or service would exist without a team effort. Other nations have provided evidence of this notion of just entitlement, yet some American corporations remain firm in an antiquated business practice. 1776, Symbolizes discontent with the status quo. What resulted from this discontent was the 13 colonies represented a united nation. Interestingly that nation re-organized and smoothly transitioned into a new nation, with a united spirit. With the signing of the Constitution in 1787, the end of the raw spirit of 1776 became formalized with representative government that strengthens a nation and its people. There is some fundamental element of right that can be associated with 1776 and the resulting 13 colonies united effort. I am immediately reminded of George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ which detailed the essences, of that fundamental element. NEVADA Nevada’s state seal has the written words, “All for Our Country”. Before 1866, the seal read “Volens et Potens” (“Willing and Able”). MASSCHUSETTES Massachusetts’s state seal flag, “Ense Petit Placidam, Sub Libertate Quietem”, meaning “The sword, we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.” VIRIGINA Virginia’s state seal on the front has the image of the Roman Goddess, Virtus and states, “Sic Semper Tyrannis”, meaning “Thus Always to Tyrants”. On the back of the seal is the Roman Goddess, Libertas. GEORGIA Georgia’s state seal depicts an arch with 3 pillars. The 3 pillars represent the 3 branches of our America political platform: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Wrapped around each pillar is an associated reference: Wisdom, Justice and Moderate.

1776 In Our Dependence: For The People, By The People (Draft) 1

1776 In Our Dependence: For The People, By The People (Draft) 1.

By: Paul DeWitt Goree 7/2011 Las Vegas,NV

We celebrate this Independence Day, in the shadow of an America, where power for the people, by the people has come to represent an universal means, for all of humanity: globally.

As we celebrate 235 years of independence as an united nation. There are some pivotal events and accomplishment, which have secured our identity and nationalism. We began as rebels against unfair governance. We began as social refugees of oppression. We found truth in theorist such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacque Rousseau and countless others who have established, defined and fought/die in honor of what we all have collectively agreed as, just.

The just nature of individualism, liberty, and freedom to be, create, express: what one places as its core beliefs. I love Thomas Hobbes’s, ‘Natural Rights’. It is American in its total essence. To have the slightest assumption, that I, regardless of my birth, race, sex, intellect and effort: still has an equal right to all that is in existences in the universe. These notions are the basis of huge dreams, which provide all an opportunity to – Dream. America is the dream come true!

Being that varied dreams will amount to the sum of some realities. We can never merely accept anything completed. We are always in a state of evolving, awakening and revising. We are always open to amendment and accepting our social errors. We learn from our mistakes. We learn that we, regardless of prior acts, are ONE nation. Individuals representing the whole. Each of our portions, have the ability to DEMAND rights due to them. This has been a stream of empowerment by which individual expression is afforded.

We are inventive, we exam political platforms that deny, what we have intentional staked as our claim, Liberty: we remove the failing elements, and construct just sovereignty that works to its best capability. Of which alteration can be made, where have made bad judgment. We know our government operates like a link chain. Faults do exist, but as they exist, it is in our nature to identify them and eradicate them, thus assuring equal opportunity to all. I love how we, come into our own making. This is our industry, our worth, our determinism.

As we celebrate our independence venture, I want to exam a time line of some of our President and their administrations, that have contributed, extended and enacted legislation, associated with what Lyndon B. Johnson term, “The Great Society”. Presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Lyndon Johnson, William Clinton and current President, Barack Obama, have strived to provide the Federal. Government with the power it needs, to enact legislation, which aids the needs of the people.

A great society would be a society evolved from social and political injustices, into social harmony. For Johnson, (who took idealist truths from John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy) a great society regardless of its past, had to acknowledge and attended to that portion of the collective whole, which is not represented. That portion which is unable, denied or unaware of their social rights. It is the duty of the sovereignty to assist all within the society, an equal opportunity to achieve tools required, to pursue the American Dream.

A government for the people, by the people, could not simply ignore, what is unjust. A government for the people by the people could not idle in action, while some of the people are routinely being subjected to second class citizenship. No citizen should be second class in a nation of the people. So I want to detail the accomplishments of some of these most compassionate Presidents, which have attended to their political platform, which values co-operative assistance and equal opportunity.

Theodor Roosevelt (26th President 1901-1909 Republican) and his administration, were the instrumental creators of Work-Man Compensation. In 1908, during the last year of his administration, Theodor Roosevelt introduced the Federal Employer’s Liability Act. Other legislative enactments of Roosevelt, that provide evidence, that government should regulate industry, can be seen in Roosevelt passage of the Meats Inspection Act of 1906…The Square Deal President.

Woodrow Wilson (28th President 1913- 1921 Democrat) and his administration accomplished some reform for the labor industry. He implemented the 8 hour work day for employees. Extended the US Anti- Trust Act, with The Clay Anti-Trust Act, which defined the specific policy of the United States and its relationship with organization and the control of industry. Wilson enacted Income tax, The Federal Trade Commission and restrictive labor laws that protected children from unlawful labor practices.

Franklin Roosevelt (32nd President of the United States 1933–1945 Democrat) New Deal

Lyndon B. Johnson (36th President of the United States 1963-1969 Democrat) the Great Society

William Clinton (42nd President of the United States 1993–2001 Democrat) Welfare Reform Act

Barack Obama (44th President of the United States 2009) Health Care Act

Faith, Change and A Mysterian Fate

This posting is a work in progress. I want to open with the word CHANGE. Change is a powerful word, for as detailed by Saul Alinsky:power is the ability to do. And what is done is resulted in change. We dually accept change and are fearful of change. Yet it is an event which occurs, leaving some powerless in their efforts and others powerful. For the most part we change for the better. During the 18th century, the world experience a change in political philosophy which resulted in the creation of The United States of America and the progression of liberty, freedom and individualism. Change was good during that century for those who, opened themselves to the possibilities of all that is within this universe. No longer would government or religion limit, any individuals quest for understanding of the Great Mystery of life. As centuries past, the progression of change is evident the ending result of it’s affaires. It affaires are directly linked enlightenment. “from the begining -1690 Enlightenment drew vociferous suppoerters and opponents…yet has always involved political stakes of changing nature over time.” Well it is now our time to contribute to the Enlightenment Change and here is what I (a Christian ) propose. 1.) The African – Yoruban Creationalism Story 2.) Mysterian Philosophical Theories 3.) Quantum Physics 4.) Quantum Mechanics 5.) The Church of Jesus Christ 6.) Global Co-Herence 7.) Social Democracy 8.) Social Networking 9.) John Polkinghorne, Bob Russell, Antonie Suarez , Sandra Barnes, Harold Coulander, Rollin McCarty, Roger Nelson, Doc Childre and Joyce Myers. I hope we evolve into a global state, where I can reside in Kenya (Diani Beach Africa) have children and we all retain our American citizenship.
