HOLY WEEK 4- Maundy Thursday – 2018

http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2018/03/holy-week-day-4-maundy-thursday.html

Gethsemane Garden,  where Jesus prayed and his disciples slept the night before his crucifixion. Jesus is in agony in the garden and prays to God.  Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, Sheer Thursday, and Thursday of Mysteries, among other names) is the Christian  holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter.  The English word “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, which means “commandment.” As recorded in John’s gospel, on his last night before his betrayal and arrest. then “Crucifixed”.  It commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles as described in the Canonical gospels.  This meal is the last time Jesus spends with his disciples and he tells them what is to happen.  Maundy Thursday is the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus.

THE REVISED BUCKET LIST

I returned to California, June 2015. My arrival city was San Diego. My intent at that point (although unclear) was going to be a tour of the state. http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2017/09/tour-of-california-durning-my-revolt.html.  While in San Diego, I came across a conversation with others about a Revised Bucket List. I had no ideal at the time what such a revised list could be of (considering, why would one need to revise it). Well having spent nearly 3 years in the state and now in San Francisco, I fully have a better understanding of what the concept, has come to mean to some.

FIRST–Los Angeles, CA

Jan 2016-March 2016, an older senior citizen approached me. He was a meth user, and his intent were Mal at the time. In San Diego, this is the basic character of the Revised Bucket Listers (they are senior citizens 65-80 and they use meth and cocaine). When this individual approached me, he as others in San Diego, went about created a non-realistic affiliation with me, by which he intended to use in his advantage. Seeming such attempts have occurred not only in California, but also in Arizona and Nevada. It was nothing new to me. I simple let the culprit do as they do. Utilizing their intent, their actions, their expression and their introduction of me to those who they intend to cross affiliate me with later. It’s all done by them. Then as usual they go about their final intent and it crashes upon them.

I really appreciated how a non-profit agency in Los Angeles, and the street community of downtown Los Angeles, let the senior citizen who thought he was going to utilize his Revised Bucket List upon me to advance his unrealistic racist thoughts and sabotage intent of an non-profit agency that is involved with substance treatment group session, find out his actions were not going to actualized nor accepted or appreciated in the agency or community any long.

The agency is an awesome agency named Share (http://shareselfhelp.org/). Share has two locations in Los Angeles county. One in Culver City and the other in downtown Los Angeles. This revised bucket lister who was attempting to manipulate me, was shocked when the volunteer staff at the agency let him know.

1) They did not appreciate him, DISRESPECTING the organization, the donors, their mission statement and the facility it self.

2) His sudden and documented used of meth in the facility is not something they condon

3.) His use of their landline telephone for drug deals, was not something they condon and the fact that he had a cell phone make the situation even worst.

4.) His use of the facility to conduct drug deals was not condon

and they would appreciated it if he would remove his self from their facility for the wrongs he had brought upon the agency.

As I sat and witness him leave. I fully was appreciative that they were aware of his intent and recognized him as being the sort of character that my association was only temporary as he arranged it.  On the streets where he approached and falsely attempted to befriend me, his racist expression and fabricated association with other African American was brought to his face, whereby he was made to confess what it was he had done and falsely created to use against me and others within the same street community.  This cause him to leave the community demeaned as he should have been, seeming his entire intent was mal and racist and sabotaging.

Now, San Francisco, CA

I refuse to let a similar character, name WES, continue with similar maneuvers manipulate a population (like the Bucket Lister in Los Angeles) with false stories and substance use in a church. If he does not confess that he approached me and suggested smoking meth in the church, then he should and will experience the same as the bucket lister in Los Angeles.

This Wes character, I did not know. Have only been falsely associated with the mal lunatic for 3 weeks and he approached me while I was in church (as usually for 2 months). Whether he realized it or not, when such a character approaches me with suggestion that violate something I had not and would not consider, for them I will and they will at that point be the creator of their own fate: as they approach with nothing more than MAL INTENT!!! I can not and will not forgive this WES character and verbally let him know that I did not appreciate his intent and action to involve me with sells of prescriptions drugs that I had received. The fact I when I returned exhausted from a research study they he had already PRE-SOLD something I own, without my consent!~ These are actions by which I will incriminate myself, to ensure that BUCKET LISTERS like WES, never are able to continue their mal actions in this community or any other.

In San Diego, if it came to my intentions that maybe some of the Bucket Listers intent was to do false cross reference insurance claims, that were false because they did not really exist. Or they existed in other names, but would result in framing other collectives purely for the purpose of creating chaos within the civic order, maybe even racially. Then it was be no surprise. Some suggested that maybe some of the bucket listers wanted to set others up and suggest to the macro society that some collectives within the society had been doing false insurance claims all alone. When this was not true, and it would only be a Propagandaeuros attempt. 

I brought the question of Insurance False Claims up in 2008 on Yahoo Ask. Here was some of the responses:

• Life Insurance Question?

  What can you do, if someone gets a Life Insurance Policy in your name without your permission? Are all policies payable? How can you contact Insurance Agencies to let them know?

  Best Answer:  You contact that insurance company, and tell them someone forged your signature and impersonated you when they took the blood samples. You then contact your state insurance commissioner for the same. Then you file charges against the policy owner.

  AGENCIES have nothing to do with it. They can’t do a blessed thing. Policies are payable unless they are cancelled. You need to contact the company that wrote the policy, and your state insurance department fraud unit.

    One should not be able to get a life insurance policy in your name without your permission. Contact the company and ask them what you have to do to get it canceled.

  Of these great response the correct and best thing to do is contact the state insurance department and let them know someone may be attempting a false claim against you on life insurance. I did this for my own self in 2008 and let my family know, so that only insurance claims coming from them can be done. All other claims if they come through would be investigated by the state insurance board. It is sad that we have come to this type of security in our society. The ideal individuals would attempt to benefit from someone elses death or that they would attempt to alter their own policies near death to reflect or deframe others is wrong. Such events happen in Los Angele, CA SkidRow in 2006.

  2 Arrested in Homeless Life Insurance Scam

  Pair are accused of obtaining policies on two men who later died in hit-and-run accidents.

  May 19, 2006| Cara Mia DiMassa and Richard Winton | Times Staff Writers

   Two women in their 70s were arrested Thursday after they allegedly befriended two homeless men, took out 19 life insurance policies on them and filed claims worth more than $2.2 million after the transients mysteriously died in hit-and-run pedestrian accidents in Los Angeles.

  One of the men was hit by a car and killed in an alley off La Brea and Melrose avenues in 1999, and the second victim was run down in a Westwood alley last June.

  Detectives said they connected the two cases several months ago during a chance meeting between two investigators in the LAPD’s West Traffic Bureau squad room….http://articles.latimes.com/2006/may/19/local/me-homeless1

No Longer Listening (I’m Feeling)

lisagawlas.wordpress.com  Giving Energy ~ clip from “The Celestine Prophecy”James Redfield

Time slows down for those
Beatin, by the storm-the storm of other people
Storm that breaks the worth
In the darkest corridors, is only where the blind can see
To find out it total meaning is something that is felt
They can’t feel it any more
All their hearts lights darken out-turned cold
And I am seeing vertigo, in disbelief
I’m hearing demons talk – with lives they have invaded (live once belong to GOD!)

–chorus–

What is missing, we forgotten
What is missing, pasted by with time
We’re to late, yes to late, at least some will find
In the shouting crowd we lost our unity
In the fighting crowd we lost our decency
In the killing crowd we used the blood to write
I no long listen, I no longer need to listen
Words misused to misguide those not lost within the storm
I’m not listening, I’m feeling-I’m feeling

I am so distant from everyone
In this city,  cold as ice it frozen
Can’t understand how some lost their hearts, they say
Once love play and stayed within the Bay
Ohhh, but now that seems to be the past
Once written will only lead to no, remembrance
No need to celebrate the past, when the past is what time pasted along
We’re not living, if we can’t reason, yet if we reason by speaking we’re faulted deception
I’m feeling, I’m feeling, I’m feeling the vibe of life-no deception ever cross the path of God

Don’t see me from a distance, don’t look at my smile

And think that I don’t know what’s under and behind me

I don’t want you to look at me and think

What’s in you is in me, what’s in me is to help them

LOVE….

Roughneck and rudeness,

We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms

For the sword and the stone

Bad to the bone

Battle is not over

Even when it’s won!

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin is living in

(CHORUS)

It’s not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I’ll be waiting

It’s not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I’ll be waiting

I’ll be waiting,

I’ll be waiting

I assume the reasons that push us to change

I would like that they forget about their color,

so that they can have hope

Too many views on race that make them desperate

I like the doors wide open

So that friends can talk about their pain and their joy

Then we can give them information, that will bring us all together

(CHORUS)

It’s not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I’ll be waiting

It’s not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I’ll be waiting

I’ll be waiting,

I’ll be waiting

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of the skin he’s living in

And there’s a million voices!

And there’s a million voices!

To tell you what she should be thinking!

So you better sober up for just a second!

Seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I’ll be waiting

It’s not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I’ll be waitin

METH SEX FANTASY #2 JOURNAL

METH SEX FANTASY #2

Welcome to the METH SEX FANTASY  journal! This journal is about the deep rooted sexual fantasies that occur in men, while one is on meth.

Meth is the substance by which the conscious mind is mildly sedated into a trance and the sub-conscious mind is able to unleash the desires and fantasy of the true self. It is not unnatural to be sexually uninhabited. The state of mind that occurs, elevates the soul into a shaman existence in the interim of reality. The interim of reality is that space that occupies the pre-spiritual realm of reality. It lies between the collect reality and spiritual realm.

There is a dark side of reality, that we should not fear. While on meth the dark side is within the interim of reality and if we utilize our emotions by raising them to a higher level and mixing them together, we can raise our physical and spiritual to that higher level of existence and access the balance of our lives. The darker side is where we might be able to gain the energy to over come our fears.

Also one should consider the Meth Sex Fantasy as a ritual by which society interacts with the environment to increase it’s self with nature/the infinite intelligence.  As in KIOWA BELIEF AND RITUALS By: Benjamin R. Kracht

Rituals are specific courses of actions, done by social collectives. The rituals extend from the root of the society and represent the terms of the constructed reality as lived. The principles, moral, beliefs, virtues and expectations placed upon each individual within the collective. Rituals include collective behavior that is utilized in religious worship, rites of passages, community development/witch doctor, and sacraments. As with Christian Sacraments, rituals involve a physical activity within the environment, which is observable. Sacraments signify God’s grace in a way that is outwardly observable to the participant. That grace of God is defined differently in different cultures around the world. The grace of God, being the blessing by which we are in existence-becomes more interesting as we observe it from different cultural lenses. All of the variation have basic core elements. One being the need for humans to interact with the spiritual realm of the divine/universe. The way this is done in all cultures is through rituals, where by repetitive drums beats, creating waves of sound cause a hypnotic state of consciousness, by which the spiritual realm can be contacted. There is always some type of olfactory natural to the earth. Many indigenous cultures use sage, lavender, or cedar to create a olfactory pleasant offering to the energies of the universe. There is usually a verbal hum, that is accompanied by a physical dance/body movement, that corresponds to the drum beats. All of these practices provide a way for the human to interact with the spiritual realm.

Also included as rituals are prays, in psychology it is the used in a technical sense for a repetitive behavior systematically used by a person to neutralize or prevent anxiety; it is a symptom of  obsessive-compulsive disorder. There are praise rituals for the human living experience such as the Swahili ‘matunda ya kwanza’ – first fruit of the harvest. Which evolved into African Americans celebration of Kwanzaa.  Another harvest ritual is the Native Americans description of a “Strawberry Moon” which becomes a Farmer’s Almanac to agriculture.

METH SEX FANTASY #3

METH SEX FANTASY: Fauns, Saytrs and Centaurs:

 

FAUNS:

Mythical beast with the upper torso of a human and the legs and tail of a goat, sometimes depicted with goat’s  horns coming out of their skulls. Bipedal. Not to be confused with satyrs, who were much naughtier.

SATYRS:

The Satyrs were creatures who looked like men, but had the hooves as feet as well as the tails of goats. They could be best described as goat-men. Many of the Satyrs accompanied Dionysus (Bacchus) pouring his wine and playing music on their flutes for him.

CENTAUR:

A mythical creature that has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. They tend to be pictured shooting bows and arrows and with braided hair. At times they are picture rough and earthly, demonic and libido driven. Centaurs are mostly often displayed as libido wild, drunkards who tend to be sexually lure and delight the sexual desires of human men.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

METH SEX FANTASY JOURNAL

https://kinkstermag.nyc/meth-and-sex-the-ties-that-bind/

Imagine if you will the most intense, amazing, and powerful, mood-altering, and mind-blowing meal of your life. Every bite is a smorgasbord of gastronomical orgasmic overload, with each bite propelling you to the next. While eating this meal of a lifetime, you experience extreme feelings of joy, pleasure, fulfillment, satiety, power, and importance. You cannot wait until the next time you can have this delectable delight.

You begin to plan, coordinate, organize, prepare, and fantasize about the next time you can indulge in the gluttonous smorgasbord of good feelings. Soon, you begin having this meal a couple of times per week. You find that the good feelings and pleasure you experienced your first couple of times with his meal does not match the initial event. You attempt to add new foods, new ways of preparing the meal, eating at different times of the day, spending more money on foods, yet you find you cannot match that initial experience.

In no time at all, you are giving up activities that were once important, isolating from loved ones, becoming pre-occupied with your next meal, you begin seeing weight gain, elevated blood pressure and other health issues, and a change in your feelings and emotions. You find after each gluttonous meal that those once good feelings you experienced after eating are replaced by shame, remorse and a promise to change these behaviors.

Well, for many men who have used methamphetamine, their first couple of times using meth and engaging in sexual activity is similar to this meal of a lifetime. The senses are heightened to a degree that cannot be attained or achieved through normal human activity. The initial “high” that is experienced becomes a futile effort in “chasing the dragon” in trying to recreate those first initial experiences. What started out as recreational, part-time use, soon consumes the individual. Once pleasurable and meaningful activities soon become unimportant, boring, and slowly drift out of the individual’s life. The obsession to use methamphetamine takes over and soon the individual experiences a change in their personality, a shift in morals and values, and the consequences of their continued use. Sometimes this happens quickly and other times, slowly.

Now, add the powerful experience of sexual activity to this combustible mix and you have set the stage of an interconnected and difficult challenge to tease apart meth use with sexual activity. Imagine the combined efforts of having sex on meth! A combined overload of Dopamine, Serotonin, and Endorphins followed by the release of Oxytocin post-orgasm and the individual has achieved the elusive, powerful, temporary, and unachievable through natural human efforts, the sexual experience of a lifetime.

Meth and sex neurotransmitters activated during meth use and sexual activity.

So, how does the cycle begin

Typically, many individuals have reported that their first meth use and sexual activity was like no other experience in their life. Meth is a stimulant that initially provides acute psychological effects on the brain including increased confidence, alertness, mood, increased sex drive, increased energy, talkativeness and decreases boredom, loneliness, and timidity. When used, crystal meth causes the user’s brain to produce abnormally high levels of dopamine. Users experience increased energy, prolonged sexual performance and suppressed appetite. It also causes intense sexual desire and lower sexual inhibition which can lead to sexually risky behaviors.

Many men in the gay, bisexual and M2M population report using meth due to cultural factors of internalized homonegativity, oppression and discrimination, shame, loneliness, a need for “false” intimacy, and societal heterosexism and heteronormative culture that views heteronormative behaviors and practices as the “acceptable” norms. Meth use allows individuals to engage in sex/sexual behaviors that fall out of the “accepted norms”, provides a sense of false confidence/self-esteem, and can provide a sense of belonging to a sub-culture that accepts the individual user as they are. Additionally, youth and beauty are revered in this community which set a high standard for anyone that falls outside of these parameters to feel less than or inadequate. The advent of the internet and hook-up apps provides the perfect backdrop and venue for seeking out like individuals who are looking to hook-up and score meth.

Unfortunately, this illusion and the perceived benefits of using meth and engaging in sex can only last so long. Meth use and sex may lead to high risk behaviors including an increase in the number of sexual partners, a decrease in disclosure of HIV status, a decrease in condom use, an increase in the probability of engaging in anal receptive sex, prolonged sexual encounters, intentional unprotected sex and extreme sexual behaviors.

How do we break the cycle

There is no one method of treatment that can address the complex interconnectedness between crystal meth use and sexual activity. Treatment and recovery must be individualized to each person. This may be through total abstinence or a harm-reduction model, or somewhere in between. Research supports that quitting all mood-altering substances (abstinence) increases an individual’s chances of sustained recovery.

One thing is for sure: Education, support, and self-introspection are required in order to break the cycle of the meth and sex connection. At PRIDE Institute, we work with hundreds of men each year that meet the criteria for substance use disorder-methamphetamine and report that they live outside of their value system for sexual behaviors. A “diagnosis” of a sexual disorder is not required; it is self-identification by the individual that seeks treatment that determines if the individual engages in sexual behaviors and activities that do not align with their value system and have identified that they cannot engage in sexual activity without the use of substances. We see men from all walks of life; from those who are professionals with a high economic status with minimal consequences related to their use to those who are living on the streets and indigent. As we know, addiction does not discriminate. It is also important to understand that a 28 day stay in a treatment setting does not recovery make. The first step in recovery is to remove the problematic substance and/or behaviors followed by a rigorous and honest look at the behaviors, attitudes, and thinking that keep the individual stuck in a cycle that is difficult to break. Let’s be honest…although not impossible, the rewards and the hijacked brain of those that use meth can make long-term recovery difficult but not impossible. It is not an uncommon phenomenon to see individuals return for a second, third, tenth or fifteenth treatment episode.

Because the pay-offs for using meth and engaging in sex can often be temporarily extremely rewarding and the brain reward system is hijacked by use, this reinforces the perceived pay-offs. It is crucial to have the individual take a look at the underlying issues that support these continued behaviors. As mentioned earlier, self-esteem, body image issues, need for validation, discrimination, shame, lack of confidence, feelings of inadequacy, internalized homo or bi-negativity, or the desire to escape or numb feelings and emotions, can all play into reasons for using. Other reasons may include the desire to feel powerful, seductive, to engage in sexual behaviors that aren’t considered part of the norm. Whatever the issues may be, the client must commit to begin exploring these issues in safe therapeutic relationships. In early recovery, it is also important that an individual commits to abstaining from meth use and sexual behaviors. It is very difficult to do the work that needs to be done if the individual is still engaging in these behaviors. This is not a permanent edict; at PRIDE we have found that individuals need time away from the behaviors in order to fully access their feelings and emotions, and not use these unhealthy coping measures to escape those feelings.

As an individual begins to uncover and articulate honestly the underlying issues that may be contributing to their behaviors, it is important that they also identify and acknowledge the pay-offs they have received from meth use and sexual activity. Whatever the pay-offs may be, it is important for the individual to begin exploring and identifying how these pay-offs can be gained in a healthy manner. If increased self-esteem is a pay-off for meth use, the individual must begin to identify, explore and practice healthy behaviors and thoughts that boost self-esteem.

It is imperative to talk about sober sex and how this may look to an individual. A safe and trusting space with like individuals can help normalize and allow for individuals to talk openly about issues that have led to or kept an individual stuck in the shame cycle. The individual must identify boundaries within their sexual life, and determine which behaviors and activities support their health and does not lead back to meth use. There are several models in the treatment of sexual behaviors that asks the individual to identify behaviors that are always unsafe to them, behaviors that may be unsafe, and behaviors that are always safe. The client identifies these behaviors and sets boundaries according to their where these behaviors fall in their identified boundaries. For example, a client who identifies that they cannot engage in fisting without using meth, then, particularly in early recovery, should avoid engaging in fisting activity. This is not to say that fisting cannot be eventually re-introduced to into the individual’s sexual repertoire, but it must be done slowly, with caution, and a safety plan created, should the client be triggered to use meth during this activity.

Part of this entire process is for the individual to identify their individual values and identify behaviors that support these values. If water sports are part of an individual’s value system and behaviors that do not lead to meth use, then by all means, get your fill. There is not judgment on the behavior. We are all sexual beings and have our likes and dislikes. The issue surfaces if and when a behavior/activity falls outside of the individual’s value system and engaging in these behaviors cannot be done without the use of meth.

It is of the utmost importance for individuals to talk about their likes and dislikes, their feelings and thoughts about sober sex and, moving forward, how these activities can be performed without the use of substances. Fantasy work can be a wonderful tool to help an individual begin identifying what they are seeking in their sexual lives and intimate relationships. The exercise can lead to building trust in a group and can offer insight into an individual.

At PRIDE Institute we have found that a group of individuals with the commonality of meth use and sexual behaviors, after establishing trust with each other, allows individuals to talk openly and without shame about their experiences. To know and understand that there are many other people who have similar or same experiences, is empowering and can help decrease the stigma and shame associated with meth use and sex. By normalizing experiences and talking openly with others about their sexual lives, the hope is that the individual can leave treatment and continue this work in support groups, individual therapy, or an identified meth and sex process group. In addition, there are a host of wonderful workbooks that can be utilized to move the client through recovery.

The interconnectedness of meth use and sexual activity is a difficult bind to break. It is not impossible, but it takes hard work, a willingness to go to any lengths to change, and the ability to be honest and vulnerable. Most individuals we have worked with at PRIDE Institute find comfort, support, and empowerment in doing this work with a group of like-minded individuals with a history of similar or shared experiences. The individual ultimately has to do the work, but they do not have to do it alone.

Now, if I could just quit planning my next meal….

Los Angeles Mac 10 Logistical Index Year 2020

I LOVE LOS ANGELES: MACRO 10 2020-2030

A Macro 10, is a theoretical term that details the logistics of a geographical location. The logistical data that is valuable not only to consumers, but also political strategy projections, CRIME Index Reporting, Societal Development (urban/rural/and infrastructure), Poverty, and local/State business growth. The logistical data collected, creates a macro societal trend index: which provides logistical insight into future trends in social settings. In the United States, the Macro 10 city provides insight into the next 10 years (decade) by which the nation will experience similar growth.

PRIOR MACRO 10 CITIES in the United States:

1990-1999 SEATTLE, WA

2000-2009 LAS VEGAS, NV

2010-2019 PHOENIX, AZ

2020-2030 LOS ANGELES, CA (Second time as a Mac 10 city. First time 1970-1979)

For Los Angeles, the future is going to be real bright (GOLDEN) as detailed in a G.Q. article Jan 2016, Los Angeles has come to some incredible ethnic fusion, that is producing an original energy that is amazing. Just as Seattle, WA had a global influence from 1990-1999, Los Angeles can look towards the same growth.

FUTURE PROJECTIONS FOR LOS ANGLES 2020-2030

1) Los Angeles host the Superbowl and the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles will be the first team to host the super bowl and win the super bowl.

2.) Los Angeles host the Olympics for the second time

3.) Los Angeles city mayor and staff provides a national blue print for civic involvement with homeless programs that are effective.

4) Los Angeles creates prisoner felony discharge programs.

An Indigenous Hut In Balboa Canyon San Diego, CA: Communication of Folklore

(Note the hut resemble this one (http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/ceremonial-artifacts.html) but it was more open top. It also had small boulder type rocks as a foundation, by which he was able to built a window. The entire hut was made from “weathered-Holy Week Day 3” material found in the canyon and is similar or the same as planets/trees in Central Mexico, where Tenochtitlan. The foundation as he referred to it, was very Western Civilization European/WEC.)

Through out my travels (starting 1989): I have made a point of asking some people, if they mind if I utilize the information we talked about, should I ever make something of myself and write a dissertation. All have agreed. I wanted them to understand, that even in my struggle to live, some amazing people (like themselves with their lives) HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. By which their life is so pinnacle to others. This is often unseen and yet as expressed by them: the anger, hurt, pain, disappointment, FAITH, love and pleasant generalization of their lives, can bridge people closer. I sometimes have to explain it, which is difficult for me. So I’ve come to just define it as US as in we Earth humans are so stratified that it takes repeated events to mutates from our social constructed reality (SCR).

Every once in a while (lately 2015 Los Angeles) I’ve asked a person could I write their story or aspects of their story on the internet. For example:

 http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2016/07/undocumented-employed-joke.html

I can only promise them what I believe about what they’ve commented on or expressed as a soul felt fear or pain. And they themselves know to the best of my ability I will attempt to get the gist of their concern on the internet. This posting is about a Mexican American seeking his indigenous identity. Seeming we never exchanged names, I will refer to him as Yankwik Mexikayotl San Diego (YMSD).

With that brief opening, here is an amazing story. I asked a Yankwik Mexikayotl (https://mexikaresistance.com/what-is-yankwik-mexikayotl/) if he mind, if I post his story on one of my blogs. The story would explain the discussion he and I had alone and the discussion we had with other people (not interested in the subject). The subject would be his soulful desire to build an hut in Balboa Canyon-San Diego, like his indigenous ancestors did. THE ORAL STORY OF Yankwik Mexikayotl Balboa Canyon San Diego (Seeming I never asked him his name. Nor did he ever tell me it. We both felt it was useless-seeming the subject we discuss. So for this post/story his name is YMSD).

I had just returned from Los Angeles (Mid July, 2016). I was not to happy upon arriving in San Diego for the second time. But something that occurred the first time (May 2015) required me to return. I left San  Diego the first time October 2015, and stay in Los Angeles seeking to continue my REVOLT all the way to Red Russian River in Northern California.  While in Los Angeles (March 2016) on the transportation van to a Winter Shelter. I enjoyed listening to  the Pastor on Christian radio. This particular morning, the pastor stated that…”Shaman get their power from natural environments: mountains, lakes, forest.” I immediantly  add CANYONS to that list, seeming my love for them.  The pastor went on to state, “Wheras a Shaman gets his power from nature: A pastor, minister gets their power from their congregation.”  Which is true. The power by which GOD has blessed them is found in either a growing congregation or nature (for Shamen).

Thus day two on the return to San Diego (Mid July 2016) after visiting a “friend” I met during the first visit, I decided to go to the canyon and see if the pastor was correct.  So into the Balboa Canyon I went. Just as I use to do on the first visit. But this time I verbalized what the pastor had expressed and wanted to see if I could feel it. I was expecting to feel some type of connection with nature and my love for the Canyon. I did feel that connections and proceed to go about doing an Sociological observations of all factors in the Balboa Canyon, that I felt represented what I had defined as a canyon. For me, a Canyon represents the dual nature of life and death. Within a canyon, all that is alive exist in other geographical locations. All that is dead, exist in similar form (depending on HUMANS and BIO-LOVE) or varied form (depending on several geological variables. ex. Platetonics).  

The observations I worded in qualitative form with a comparison. Thus if I did not notice something first visit. Then document it and as the year proceeds we can see if that is a new event or repeated/cycled event that I am just becoming aware of. For example I documented bees during pollination in my favorite area of the canyon.  I also decided, to write in large letters, the expression. CHIESPIRT…CONSCIOUSLY GOING ABOUT LIFE WITH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO ALL CREATED BY GOD. I intentionally on wrote this on “weathered” parts of planets and rocks that exist in the canyon. ( 1 0f 4 encounters occurred between  YMSD and I).

FIRST ENCOUNTER:

As I walked about the canyon, I came upon an area, that I did not notice last time I was in San Diego. The reason I did not notice it, was because there was a rock/small boulder formation that made a large circle. I really focused on this area, because there was so much “weathered” from the Canyon Clearing (which I was use to–seeming during the first visit Summer 2015. My Cal-Work was at Balboa Canyon, which I did apply for an entry level position. But decided not to complete the application for review, by taking a typing test. WHY I AM IN REVOLT!   No Margret Finn this is not pre-Schizophrenia. Just one human who wants and will have the TRUTH told. Recall you made me and Johnny express and commit to our, as you worded it…”WE ALL MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EACH OF OUR ACTIONS IN THIS TERRIBLE MESS CREATED” mines was in a memo to you, johnny and an other case manager from a different agency. Then you made Johnny express his commitment, then you move right pass yourself and continued the nature of the meeting! WRONG and thus my revolt and life will prove how wrong you were. Unless you had to do what you had to do, because of MIXED AGENCIES OF USA INTELL…)

As I noticed the circular formation of small boulders. I felt really comfortable and sat upon a tree stump. And continued my observation from that peaceful location. There was a guy there, doing a mosquito testing. I was so comfortable that I didn’t even notice him. About 45 minutes later, YMSD approach with another person. He saw me and immediately rush towards me to see what I was doing. As he approached, he was explaining that he had worked hard moving the small boulders. And that he had created that spot. I informed him, that I was just writting and I felt comfortable in this spot. I told him that I also placed a CHIESPRIT expression on the tree stump and a few branches, and apologies and then I left. ( 1 0f 4 encounters with YMSD).

SECOND ENCOUNTER:

Two weeks later I was over at the same friends house, and ended up with one of his friends and in the canyon. This time YMSD knew the person I was with. YMSD had a person with him that I met. They all seemed to know each other.  YMSD looked at me, and stated…”Are you the one that was here before. Chiespirt?’ I responded “Yes, and wow you’ve done an AWESOME job. This is so indigenous and the best part,  you only used what was in the canyon. Beautiful job. It’s going to be hard for them to tear this down. Seeming it all comes from the canyon.” He was proud of himself and stated, that he tried to read some of the data in books. But it got complicated. Thus he decided to try praying to his ancestors (which either come from the Aztec or  Mayans. The factor he was not sure, was amazing. Seeming both cultures did not always attack neighboring tribes. Some tribes simply by promixity became part of both ‘EMPIRES’ as history explains it. Thus he could have been praying to those ancestors. In hope, that Faith would carry on his internal discourse desire.

 

I explained to him that praying to his ancestors is logical. I recall meeting a Hindu in Seattle, WA. He noticed I was disappointed as I walked across the University of Washington Campus (1994). He probed me and I explained some difficulty I was having with one Professor. By which I am unable to comprehend some assigned literature, which he has determine is below the level of expectation for that institution.  He then explained something clearly to me. Do not let yourself be removed from your existence because of expression like that in the academic environment. Consider this, most literature in the United States is going to be Western Civilization Based and your indigenous ancestors are not Western in that soul/existences.  He went on to explain to me, it seem understandable to him that attempting to assimilate to conditioning that is not nature to your linage is going to be more difficult.

He then informed me, that he is going to mention a series of books, termed the VEDAS. Do not try to read them now. Your energy will naturally guide you to them. When you first find them, you won’t be able to read them. As time progresses you will read them and understand them and thus you will understand the origin of yours, mines and other indigenous humans upon the earth.  Today I am aware of the Vedas and my journey continues.  YMSD understood, data in books, is not the only means by which to abstract knowledge. Praying to his ancestors is a the best way to utilize his intelligence (intelligence meaning: ability to collect data, to accomplish a objective).

The two persons with us. Wanted to advance the conversation. One expressed for me to tone it down. YMBC interrupted and express he wanted to continue discussing indigenous ancestors and the hut. He then stated, so your “Chiespirt, do you mean that I am thinking/feeling Chiespirt. By consciously utilizing my ethnicity to help me become more aware of my ancestors: as they lived and existed on this planet?”  Yes, I responded. You are becoming aware of their existence, acknowledging their and your rituals of habitation. You also acknowledge this planet as it exist and all creations. You naturally did not find a need to cut down a tree, correct?”  He then thought and expressed. Under any other circumstance, this land would be of his ancestors and onward. I agreed. This month in Smithsonian Magazine, the article Myth and Reason on the Mexican Border, clearly explains the history of the San Diego region 1846-1848.

“…The descendants of all these native peoples remain, and following the border today one encounters the reservations and tribal lands of indigenous folk, from the Cabazon people near Coachella, California, and the Ewiiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians (also known as the Cuyapaipe) near San Diego, to the Cocopah at the Arizona state line, the Tohono O’odham farther east, the Mescalero Apache in southern New Mexico, and in Texas the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo near El Paso and the Kickapoo people in Eagle Pass. Among other things, the borderland is a living repository of native peoples…” Smithsonian Magazine Oct 2016.    http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/myth-reason-mexican-border-180960357/

Again the two other persons divided the conversation. Once again YMSD interrupted them and asked me, how do I feel about my indigenous ancestors.  I explained to him, when I was younger (K-12) I protected my ethnicity by not expressing it to others and letting them make decision upon their own. As I got older I decided to let my true emotions evolve. Today I stated it by expressing. “My ethnicity is…I AM A DESCENDANT OF A KIDNAPPED AFRICAN. WHO DID NOT COME SEEKING LIBERTY or FREEDOM.” One of the other guys, starting choking. I asked him what was wrong. He stated, “I’m sorry, but I have never heard that expressed that way. KIDNAPPED.” I explained to him, it true, for me. How other African American people want to evolve their ethnic mapping, is up to them. Eventually I left and returned the next day. My ethnic mapping is as follows…https://1drv.ms/w/s!Ap60AZ-G3zPrhEN7u-ZPIFjUdto

THIRD ENCOUNTER

I remained in the canyon all that night. The next day, YMSD saw me and invited me to his hut. While we were there, a discussion came up. By which I expressed…”The canyon CLEARS the areas.” He replied, “What do you mean, the children CLEAN the canyon.” I let it go. But later that night as I and the friend who lives in that neighborhood returned to the canyon. I saw what I thought were people. My friend had forgotten his glasses and did not see them. Thus I went to the section of the canyon, where I was amazed at what I saw. My friend eventually left to return home, because he could not see what I was seeing.

What I was observing, was broken up into various visual displays. Some of it was projection video from video projectors. This creates a hologram illusion. Yet near that section, I saw really people. They gathered in several groups under the trees. Some of them were wearing ‘the scary movie mask.’ The majority of them weren’t wearing any mask. From about 1AM -8AM I stood in the area, where real people had gathered. No communication was going on. I went from group to group, simply just looking at them in their eyes. Their ages varied. The majority were older adults to senior citizens. Their ethnicity varied. I saw African American couples. Mexican couples and Senior citizen couples. Which really couldn’t be explained.

As I approached some of them, they would move further into the trees. I decided I was not leaving until I felt I understood what was going on. We stood there for hours. Then I decided to walk the trail in the canyon. As I walked the trail towards the steps. I observed more people. At first I thought they had come to clean the canyon. But why at 1AM. Then I thought maybe this is San Diego’s version of “COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT” to secure the park from lewd behavior. But none of these thoughts added up. Some attempted to lure me to them. Those I stayed away from. They seem to be more projected visual images. I returned to the area (creek area) and kept observing those around me. No one communicated.

As the sun rose/twilight hour, I noticed that these people still were present. It seemed that some of them wanted to leave, but they remained. Those with the “scary movie masks” on seemed to be gone. I still couldn’t explain what was going on.  In the creek, I observed children (ages 8-10) walking in the creek in a line, with knee high water boots on. They seemed to be carrying boxes. I thought, “Since when does this occur and how did YMSD know about children cleaning the canyon at 4:30-5:00AM.”  Everything seemed ridiculous. But then, unexplained suggests man intentional involvement.

FOURTH ENCOUNTER:

By 6AM, the sun has risen more and all was more visible clearly. The children seem to have been gone, and only the adults remained. By 7:30AM I was fumbling with my jacket to get a pen to write down the presences of a HELLO KITTY stuffed animal in the creek, along with other dumpings. It made no sense as to why people would drive near the canyon and dump items into the canyon intentionally. And if the children and adults were part of a community clean up team. Then what did they clean up.  As I was fumbling for a pen. A pipe (smoking pipe. Still and will continue R.E.D.U as started in 1992 regarding Q.C.D.C). I heard a senior citizen lady express….

“I thought I saw…?” her husband responded,…”Don’t think, lets go see.” As they approached me, they looked me in the eyes and felt comfortable with me. At the same time, another senior citizen across from me, saw it too. She proceeded to call the Sheriff. As I was leaving the canyon, I ran into the Sheriff, who questioned me as to what directions I am coming from. I explained that I had been all over the canyon and was headed to the opposition side (tennis courts). He looked me in my eyes and let me go.

 The final encounter with YMSD ended on a good, yet sorrow note. He was probing questions as to why people dump trash/items in the canyon. He was questioning why people utilize his hut for activity without him there. He was really concerned that people bring modern items into this indigenous hut and leave those items. Interrupting his spiritual flow.

That day he had drawn a Mexican Aztecan Totem of a Jaguar. It was an amazing drawing and it confirmed his true intentions of exploring his indigenous tribe. He explained that he feels that he has to make a decision as to remaining in the hut-full time: thus leaving where he was living with a family member. He wasn’t sure if the hut was a good ideal. I assured him never allow other people to remove you from your spiritual/soulful intent. They will always attempt to prevent that which they do not understand or don’t want you to understand. Allows follow your heart. I think you did an excellent job. The circumstances by which events happen, are not up to you to control. You accomplished your self driven goal and you can do it again. The fact remains, YOU DID WHAT YOU FELT YOU COULD ACCOMPLISH! So don’t be so hard on yourself.

The expressions that later arose from other regarding him, seemed TYPICAL S.C.R. created. Some express thoughts of his family member, and detailed his mother as that person.  They detailed the huge house that he lives in with his mother near the northern section of the Balboa Park. Some questioned his true intent and purpose.  As I listened to these comments. I really had to ask myself, “WOW is it real or not?” They have provided more data about somebody in a state of discovery. It doesn’t matter as to the nature of his discovery, he did more spiritually for himself in regards to other issues he may have been confronting. It really irritates me sometimes how people just can’t LIVE AND LET LIVE!!!

JIM CROW Segregation Day Re-Enactment

This month (September 24, 2016) the Smithsonian opened the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The opening was proceeded with a dedication from President Obama, who stated encouraging thoughts by which this museum could provide our nation, armisticeness toward racial/ethnic tensions. Obama stated, “This national museum helps to tell a richer and fuller story of who we are…By knowing this other story we better understand ourselves and each other. It binds us together. It reaffirms that all of us are America, that African-American history is not somehow separate from our larger American story…It is central to the American story.” (K.Bohn, S.Malveaux and E.Scott, 2016)

We applaud the President and the tremendous efforts of the Smithsonian Library. Keeping with the concept of “a richer and fuller story”. I suggest the ideal of Jim Crow Sign Segregation Re-Enactment Day for Martin Luther King Jr. 2017 or 2018 birthday and for the entire month of February-African American History Month. This re-enactment is a paradigm by which we as Americans can confront within ourselves: total ethnicity acknowledgement of our nations diversity, especially that of African Americans.

The objective is the displacement and education of the Jim Crow segregation signs/story, actually being assessed by today’s generation and prior generations, from text books/internet. These measures are limiting within themselves. With an Jim Crow Segregation Sign Day Re-Enactment, we could provide an engagement of these signs into our individualistic mental chronicles. Thus providing proof to American citizens, the great complexities we have ACCOMPLISHED with our ethnicity-our American ‘melting pot soup du jour’.

We should consider placing the signs exactly where they existed in the year 1955, through-out the United States. All public and private (if private wants to participate) should place a Jim Crow Segregation Sign were it was in the past, and let the future reside over us, as we come to understand/tolerate our difference more so, through the ‘due process’ of our collective triumph.

The purposes of this project would be to establish:

1) Interactive Learning Experience for adults who have experience with these signs and children who don’t know or have not actualized the sign and meaning themselves.

2) To prove to Americans and others, how far we’ve really come with racial tensions.

3.) To get American citizens involved with American issues. (Obama recent statement about the African American Museum “…I think, explains why this museum is so necessary, because that same object reframed, put in context, tells us so much more…”) The Presidents statement, best expresses : the benefit a Jim Crow Segregation Sign Re-Enactment could provide for the Nation , by the people, for the people. It reveals to us, our American History, with all of the bad and good within it!

ZERO – ZERO (Won!)

Zero-Zero (Won!) by: Paul Dewitt Goree 2016/823/9 San Diego (BCSD)

Opening:

Zero-Zero is a factor, I finally understand within my FAITH and Spiritualism! This years, Holy Week, day three is where I stop on my posting of Holy Week. Day 3 represents for me, the continued thoughts of Jesus and the olive branch-which was CURSED. Cursed meaning, not serving its’s purpose, as GOD had created it to be. On day 3, Peter (Simon) questioned it being WITHERED now. By which Jesus seemed to think that by cursing it, the withered state of all creations in the universe have no meaningful purpose. Well unless Peter (Simon) plans/has thought/intent to make something of it (man made) and thus although not expressed day 3 (but is within the Bible)…what ever is created, then give it to CEASAR!

This lyrical book (8-10 lyrical songs) is a combined thought within me, of what I titled/labelled CHIESPIRIT.

 

 

 

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS (SOUL SIPPING)

Hated it growing up…

Hated the whole damn conception…

Socially created norm, cutting my FREE-FREE blessed soul.

Anything GOD needed-My purpose fully in his plan

And when the coin flip, there’s lessons through my pain.

I can’t deny none of it…

Yet the S.C.R. focus, all the worst human motions-possibilities

I’d rather be floating u[ on a cloud in my minds’ EYE: creative eyes

From God own hands…

 

chorus:

Who took the hit first (I, I, I, I, I)

Who took the fall next (I, I, I, I, I)

Who took the KICK right down to the ground

Exactly where the fist first placed a wound.

I’m faded into a cosmic consciousness within

Hoping you’d do, the worst that you could do

Why defended what you’re about?

Were never being real…

When it won’t be you, later trying to figure out

why it feels like my soul is sipping

from the wound on my eye

soul is sipping out

from the wound on my eye

my is sipping out

slowly sipping out into space

neither one of us own!

 

NO, no I don’t need to explain it again!

Every time someone see it, it seems like they feel it within

And I don’t won’t to remind myself, what I really was thinking then

Between me first-GOD first, my body 2nd state, “Stay down, Stay down”

Endure the pain and let the ending come

Soon you’ll be in the sunrise, don’t you know!

Not every decision in life is ours’, I know

But from my point you did a half ass job-should take me out of existence

(Wrongful emotions, wrongful emotions)

 

 

 

ZERO-ZERO (Won!)

Hail, what the worth is

Was it enough to keep all the dreams alive-all those dreams alive

Hell is where some say it’s ending

Is that just expressed to keep the Shepard true- when the wolves no long give a damn

No need to wear that fake ass wool!

Is it just the same today, as it was yesterday,

I think it is, yes I know it is…

 

CHORUS:

 

Zero-Zero as it begun

Zero-Zero as it is vain

Zero-Zero raised the first dust

So Zero-Zero, won the earth!!!

Now down on earth

Somebody get a thirst

Zero-Zero gonna cure it, cost it

Yes down on earth

Somebody lose their soul

Zero-Zero gonna save it-redeem it

Zero-Zero, nothing from nothing (withered, withered, withered)

 

 

 

EARTH IN DISARRAY

There was no assembly today

It felt forever had come our way

We won’t be coping alive, in this living experience

Yet there was no sense of tomorrow

More like the end is present ground

I saw the shadow fade

Dark turned safe

Trust distained and the many, many, many broken consciousness…

 

 

CHORUS:

The earth in disarray

They turned their heads one day

And killed in vain, the one with a message so true-so tamed

 

The moon became the sun

The sun became the moon

Everyday the fire burned and burned all that stood

 

The ocean turned to sand

The sky blurred orange and red

And still they sat there waiting for the messenger they killed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EARTH IN DISARRAY

 

There was no assembly today

It felt forever had come our way

We won’t be coping alive, in this living experience

Yet there was no sense of tomorrow

More like the end is present ground

I saw the shadow fade

Dark turned safe

Trust distained and the many, many, many broken consciousness…

 

 

CHORUS:

 

The earth in disarray

They turned their heads one day

And killed in vain, the one with a message so true-so tamed

 

The moon became the sun

The sun became the moon

Everyday the fire burned and burned all that stood

 

The ocean turned to sand

The sky blurred orange and red

And still they sat there waiting for the messenger they killed

Or feel the shame you felt he felt?

Or did you simply blow the candle out

And go to sleep?

DE MON FAIRE

I recall the days of  ‘LIFE MAGIC’-99 Vegas Crazed up trick bag

Boy I had some fun—believe me Right!

Yet I kept waiting, waiting in that line

Still no name on the DOCKY today! WTF

Is it me, or was it all a dream…..

As for friends, that I thought were down, all were paid and placed.

And the questions about money, Damn I was in the Vault

That funny – funny vault turning out to be the same
CHORUS:

Ohhh, but it comes around

Ohhh, yeah but it’s who involved

Somethings we never know

Ohhh, someone should have told me

It was like MAGIC, but now it’s Hope change – ruining

Ohhh, Ohhh, someone should have told

It was like MAGIC, but now it’s faith tilted!

Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh, somebody should have told me about the

De Mon Faire Magic Hands

(Which hands-Caesars’ hands-magic hands)

 

At least back then it seemed sensible

A fool gets played every minute they say

And since I’m with the dirty, might as well jump right in.

No question of what this shit’s about

Beside, I’m still trying to figure out

How I walked away from 3 Attempted Murder Charges, Charges

(You’re innocent till proven guilty – don’t forget that son)

Now, they upgraded the system, demeaning my faith, demeaning my hope

My total blinded trust in the INVISIBLE force of the universe creation

Yeah they did this, yeah they do this all the time

With the upgraded FRIENDLY ALL TAGGER TRANMITTOR  SATELLITE

(like in the movies-shit right out of the movies)

And now my SOUL CREATOR, is over dubbed external chip in my ear!

WTF, WTF, RFID- upgraded what?

It’ll fade, time will fade it all away

(fade, fade, fade…)

There’ll be no claim, be no name, no fame and no detested

And I’ll be on the HIGHEST MOUNTAIN in AFRICA

HUGGING THE TREE OF LIFE, SMILING, PEACEFULNESS in my soul, thank you Jah again!

 

CHORUS:

X-Press

Not in presence

Any more among all men

Don’t wanna be wanted

Among the wanted world….

I’m free, soul free, x-pressions undone

I’m free, soul free, x-pressions undone

 

 

As Jah changes the seasons, people change, the world changes

Maybe it’s for the better, but still someone’s getting hurt!

Yes it everyday…

And DEMOCRACY, yet call it Babylon if you won’t (if you dare)

They will just swept, swept, swept it all away into that big hole

That the rug will cover, so pretty, yes it’ll be so pretty perfect.

And I’ll still be on the HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN AFRICA

HUGGING THE TREE OF LIFE, SMILING, PEACEFULNESS in my soul, thank you Jah again!

 

 

 

JUPITER IN THE WOMB

I feel I can breath –Exhale, the carbon of confusion

Early, early, early this morning I greeted the rising sun

And I felt blessed again, yes I know I’m LOVED>

Yet that short lived glory in my mind, went as it came

Knowing the fact remains – It’s another day to be…

(another day to be, another day)

 

CHORUS:
How did Jupiter

Get into the womb?

See was it right or lies

How we’d come unglued

Tell me how did Jupiter

Get into the womb?
Are some still playing games?

Is the Phoenix way, just to true, turned BLUE…

How did Jupiter

Get into the womb?

I’m still feeling the same pain

Feeling the same joys….

How did Jupiter

Get into the womb?

Is he DEAD or ALIVE

(He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead in the background)

(He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead in the foreground)
Yet I always thought LIFE, for the living, yes the living

So how can it be

That Jupiter got into the womb?

 

 

My soul, my soul to Jah I know it belong

It was that breath of life, which made me a LIVING THING

(Not man!)

And all these facts we share, we share them all the same

I’m still in awe that it just can’t be explain…

IT’s  UNCONDITIONAL, UNCONDITIONAL, UNCONDITIONAL

LOVE, love, love, love…

Love is unbounded, spinning the universe…

It’s all that JAH/GOD knows, GOD LOVE, GOD AND JAH all in one

So as I walk this earth, knowing that I carried (so carried and loved)

Every bump that I stumble, every person misleading-becomes…

Becomes part of the LOVING again…

And still I am in AWE, of the total connection I’m feeling in my soul

And yet the ear that I have, from the words other say, just don’t do much good.

I pray that there are no lies… Only love, only peace on CHI in the world for everyone to praise- PRAISE JAH!

Holy Week 2016–Day 2

http://greatmusicandlyrics.blogspot.com/2016/03/holy-week-day-2.html

Monday morning he returned with his disciples to Jerusalem. Along the way, Jesus cursed a fig tree because it had failed to bear fruit. Scholars believe the symbolism extended to all believers, demonstrating that genuine, living faith is more than just outward religiosity.

Mark 11:12-25New International Version (NIV)

12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

True faith must bear spiritual fruit in a person’s life. Christ was speaking of God’s future program for Israel. Other passages to consider when studying the Olivet Discourse are Daniel 9:24-27 and Revelation 6:1 – 19:21, which refer to the future seven-year period called the tribulation. God’s program for the Church concludes with the rapture, which is not taught in the Olivet Discourse. The rapture of the Church is found in John 14:1-4; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

In Matthew 23, Jesus had spoken to the Pharisees concerning judgment. This can be seen in the “woe” statements in that chapter. In 24:1, Jesus was leaving the temple when the disciples called His attention to the magnificent buildings on the temple mount. Jesus then tells the disciples that “not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down” (verse 2). This prophecy was literally fulfilled in A.D. 70 when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. The temple was burned. The gold in the temple melted in the fire and ran down into the cracks between the stones. As people later searched for the gold, they toppled every stone from its place. This destruction of Jerusalem was but a foreshadowing of what is yet to come.

Jesus’ prophecy of doom got the disciples curious, and probably more than a little concerned. When they were alone with Jesus on the Mount of Olives, they asked Him, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (verse 3). What follows in Matthew 24–25 refers to the future, seven-year tribulation period and the second coming of Christ at the end of the tribulation. During that time, God will complete His chastisement and purification of Israel and judge the whole world (Daniel 9:24-27; Revelation 6–19).

Daniel 9:27 indicates that the tribulation will be divided into two equal parts. Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24:4-8 refers to the first half. The “birth pangs” (verse 8) refer to the sufferings that Israel will experience during the first 3 1/2 years. The signs with reference to the end of the age are the coming of false messiahs (verse 5), the threat of wars and widespread conflict (verses 6-7), and various natural catastrophes (verse 7).

Revelation 6 is a parallel passage. The apostle John writes of the seal judgments. Revelation 6:2 speaks of a rider on a white horse, which refers to a false messiah called elsewhere the Antichrist and the Beast. Revelation 6:4 says that peace is taken from the earth. Revelation 6:6-8 speaks of famine and death. Jesus said these things are only the “beginning of birth pangs” (Matthew 24:8). Worse is yet to come.  In Revelation 13, the second half of the tribulation begins when the Beast, or Antichrist, sets up his rule for 42 months (cf. Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15).

In the Olivet Discourse, the second half of the tribulation is described in Matthew 24:9-14. Persecution of the Jews and death (verse 9) will be the result of the Beast’s rise to power. The Antichrist will also persecute anyone who refuses to follow him (Revelation 13:1-18).The salvation promised in Matthew 24:13 is deliverance from the Beast’s persecution. The one who endures until Christ returns will be saved from the Beast. Jesus says that “this gospel of the kingdom” will be preached worldwide before the end comes. In other words, the good news (gospel) will be available during the tribulation; the message will be that Christ will soon return in judgment to set up His earthly kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6). This message will cause many people to realize their sinful state and receive the Savior during the tribulation.

Matthew 24:15-26 gives further details concerning the tribulation. Jesus refers to an “abomination” and desolation of a future temple in Matthew 24:15-22; this is more clearly spoken of in Luke 21:20-24. The Beast will take authority and set up an image of himself in the future temple (Daniel 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4; Revelation 13:1-18). When this happens, Jesus says, head for the hills.

When Jesus arrived at the Temple he found the courts full of corrupt money changers. He began overturning their tables and clearing the Temple, saying, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.” (Luke 19:46). On Monday evening Jesus stayed in Bethany again, probably in the home of his friends, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.

Holy Week 2016-Day 1

Sunday 3/20/2016

On Palm Sunday Christians celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, the week before his death and resurrection. For many Christian churches, Palm Sunday, often referred to as “Passion Sunday,” marks the beginning of Holy Week, which concludes on Easter Sunday.

Jesus traveled to Jerusalem knowing that this journey would end in his sacrificial death on the cross for the sins of all mankind. Before he entered the city, he sent two disciples ahead to the village of Bethphage to look for a donkey an unbroken colt:

“Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it. ‘ ” (Luke 19:29-31, NIV)

The men brought the colt to Jesus, and placed their cloaks on its back.Then Jesus sat on the young donkey and slowly, humbly, made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling the ancient prophecy in Zechariah 9:9.

The crowds welcomed him by waving palm branches in the air and shouting “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

On Palm Sunday, Jesus and his disciples spent the night in Bethany, a town about two miles east of Jerusalem. In all likelihood, Jesus stayed in the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

http://greatmusicandlyrics.blogspot.co.il/?view=flipcard

The music of the United States reflects the country’s multi-ethnic population through a diverse array of styles. It is a mixture of music influenced by West African, Irish, Scottish, Mexican, and Cuban music traditions among others. The country’s most internationally renownedgenres are jazz, blues, country, bluegrass, rock, rhythm and blues, ragtime, hip hop, barbershop, pop, experimental, techno, house, dance,boogaloo, salsa, and rock and roll. The United States has the world’s largest music market with a total retail value of 4,481.8 million dollars in 2012,^[1] and its music is heard around the world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, some Forms of American popular music have gained a near global audience.^[2]

 

Native Americans were the earliest inhabitants of the land that is today known as the United States and played its first music. Beginning in the 17th century, immigrants from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Germany and France began arriving in large numbers, bringing with them new styles and instruments. African slaves brought musical traditions, and each subsequent wave of immigrants contributed to a melting pot.

Much of modern popular music can trace its roots to the emergence in the late 19th century of African American blues and the growth of gospel music in the 1920s. The African American basis for popular music used elements derived from European and indigenous musics. There are also strong African roots in the music tradition of the original white settlers, such as country and bluegrass. The United States has also seen documented folk music and recorded popular music produced in the ethnic styles of the Ukrainian, Irish, Scottish, Polish, Hispanic and Jewishcommunities, among others.

Many American cities and towns have vibrant music scenes which, in turn, support a number of regional musical styles. Along with musical centers such as Philadelphia, Seattle, New York City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Detroit, Minneapolis, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville,Austin, and Los Angeles, many smaller cities such as Asbury Park, New Jersey have produced distinctive styles of music. The Cajun and Creoletraditions in Louisiana music, the folk and popular styles of Hawaiian music, and the bluegrass and old time music of the Southeastern states are a few examples of diversity in American music.

The music of the United States can be characterized by the use of syncopation and asymmetrical rhythms, long, irregular melodies, which are said to “reflect the wide open geography of (the American landscape)” and the “sense of personal freedom characteristic of American life”.^[3]Some distinct aspects of American music, like the call-and-response format, are derived from African techniques and instruments.

Throughout the later part of American history, and into modern times, the relationship between American and European music has been a discussed topic among scholars of American music. Some have urged for the adoption of more purely European techniques and styles, which are sometimes perceived as more refined or elegant, while others have pushed for a sense of musical nationalism that celebrates distinctively American styles. Modern classical music scholar John Warthen Struble has contrasted American and European, concluding that the music of the United States is inherently distinct because the United States has not had centuries of musical evolution as a nation. Instead, the music of the United States is that of dozens or hundreds of indigenous and immigrant groups, all of which developed largely in regional isolation until the American Civil War, when people from across the country were brought together in army units, trading musical styles and practices. Struble deemed the ballads of the Civil War “the first American folk music with discernible features that can be considered unique to America: the first ‘American’ sounding music, as distinct from any regional style derived from another country.”^[4]

The Civil War, and the period following it, saw a general flowering of American art, literature and music. Amateur musical ensembles of this era can be seen as the birth of American popular music. Music author David Ewen describes these early amateur bands as combining “the depth and drama of the classics with undemanding technique, eschewing complexity in favor of direct expression. If it was vocal music, the words would be in English, despite the snobs who declared English an unsingable language. In a way, it was part of the entire awakening of America that happened after the Civil War, a time in which American painters, writers and ‘serious’ composers addressed specifically American themes.”^[5] During this period the roots of blues, gospel, jazz and country music took shape; in the 20th century, these became the core of American popular music, which further evolved into the styles like rhythm and blues, rock and roll and hip hop music.

Music intertwines with aspects of American social and cultural identity, including through social class, race and ethnicity, geography, religion, language, gender and sexuality. The relationship between music and race is perhaps the most potent determiner of musical meaning in the United States. The development of an African American musical identity, out of disparate sources from Africa and Europe, has been a constant theme in the music history of the United States. Little documentation exists of colonial-era African American music, when styles, songs and instruments from across West Africa commingled in the melting pot of slavery. By the mid-19th century, a distinctly African American folk tradition was well-known and widespread, and African American musical techniques, instruments and images became a part of mainstream American music through spirituals, minstrel shows and slave songs.^[6] African American musical styles became an integral part of American popular music through blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, and then rock and roll, soul and hip hop; all of these styles were consumed by Americans of all races, but were created in African American styles and idioms before eventually becoming common in performance and consumption across racial lines. In contrast, country music derives from both African and European, as well as Native American and Hawaiian, traditions and yet has long been perceived as a form of white music.^[7]

Economic and social classes separates American music through the creation and consumption of music, such as the upper-class patronage of symphony-goers, and the generally poor performers of rural and ethnic folk musics. Musical divisions based on class are not absolute, however, and are sometimes as much perceived as actual;^[8] popular American country music, for example, is a commercial genre designed to “appeal to a working-class identity, whether or not its listeners are actually working class”.^[9] Country music is also intertwined with geographic identity, and is specifically rural in origin and function; other genres, like R&B and hip hop, are perceived as inherently urban.^[10] For much of American history, music-making has been a “feminized activity”.^[11] In the 19th century, amateur piano and singing were considered proper for middle- and upper-class women. Women were also a major part of early popular music performance, though recorded traditions quickly become more dominated by men. Most male-dominated genres of popular music include female performers as well, often in a niche appealing primarily to women; these include gangsta rap and heavy metal.^[12]

HOMELESSNESS USA: MASLOW THEOREM (IV): DOME NATION USA

HOMELESSNESS USA: MASLOW THEOREM (IV): DOME NATION USA. (by: Paul Goree 8/2015)

Continuing with the Maslow Theorem: Great Society. Poverty In The USA. This work Maslow Theorem #4 Dome Nation USA details Maslows’  “Expressive Mechanism” within society. It is represented in several of the following events of my reflection (including the purpose of reflecting). As stated in earlier post on this subject, Maslow Theorem represents upward social mobility for the USA. This particular work focus’s on motivation within a collective. In the United States, Maslow details the “Coping Mechanism” by which society adjust to the torment of social upward mobility. This in effect, is restrictive as it stratifies the population. Some endlessly work hard (Puritan Work Ethics) and end up achieving less, due to economically differences.  In Robert T. Kiyosaki’s work he details the payroll system in the United States. Whereby the type of employment and the interval of payment, has an impact on the opportunities accessible. Day labor pay, has less opportunity and thus may seem to be continuously in an non-developing state of existence. Whereas, an annually paid individual, not only gains from the interest on his pay, but the asset of its value. The day labor individual, thus ends up coping to exist in the United States. This is the majority of working Americans.

I want to really reflect on my 25 year absence from California because now an unresolved issue is 10 fold. In 1988 I enrolled in speech and debate class to complete high school graduation requirements. I was new to the team and tried several categories. At one of the competitions I entered the EXPOSE Reporting category and detailed an observation by me of homeless people under the 5 freeway where I grew up on the city borderline of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana.

The ironic economic image was of the luxurious South Coast Plaza Mall and newly built performance art center. Back then it worried me that society could allow economics and development to over shadow what I considered the right-people helping people thing to do. Today I easily convey Social Democracy as a unifying Maslow Theorem solution. Since 1989 I have witnessed this nation make the better turn towards Social Democracy .

This nation as a whole, still from my perspective desires THE GREAT SOCIETY factors to really provide each and every American the purest form Liberty- to be all they desire to be!  I have been working on the Maslow Theorem, to bring to the attention of nearly 80% of regional HUDs the importance of universal housing in the United States to help complete the lower level of Maslow’s’ physiological needs. This nation then will raise to a higher worth and Liberty. A new class of entrepreneurs will emerge from individually utilizing their American Liberty to the fullest. This new class of entrepreneurs will create new small businesses, new inventions, new services as our nation moves towards a Social Democracy.

I am homeless again in San Diego and I have much to consider. I have lost much in Phoenix and housing offered has altered my life. Luckily for me FAITH is that strong and as I have lived these days homeless in 3 states (NV-2007/2008′ 2011: AZ-2011-2012, 2014-2015: CA-2015/present): I have observed much. hence Maslow Theorem (an academic mess, with some relivant points-not to the standard of papers/reports I have written for class and have posted). However the housing issue continues grow with me. In 2014 I witness our nation’s façe Marine County and the city of New Orleans enforced encampment laws. In Phoenix where I was living the only homeless campus/shelter (non-faith based) began to close a portion of its campus. Leaving many homeless fewer options than before. In Phoenix great organizations like Home Inc exist to end the homeless problem in Arizona, but what about the rest of the nation.

I have tethered upon a project I term Dome Nation USA which will be Kickstarter funded by the individual people of this nation, for this nations homeless and housing population. Whereas in Phoenix the citizens of Maricopa County proved their American helping hands by funding a homeless campus -proving their concern about the problem. Likewise I am confident Americans will donate to fund the purchases of tents, living equipment, Trespassing violations fees, etc. All of these tents will represent a collective nations concerns and push politicians locally and federally to attend to this the housing issue in the United States. These are ideals I feel can be successful, but as with all creations a persons state of mind must be clear and focus. Also commitment and involvement from the community. Again ’Expressive Mechanism” not at work in the United States. Instead, we default to our “Coping Mechanism” and attempt individual gains. Kickstarter is an excellent interactive media that is “Expressive” and can result in collective change. But without community support from the individuals it pertains to-nothing evolves.

I am too torn about the events of Vegas and Phoenix’s and now peace just seem impossible to obtain as I put effort forward to only have “strange things’ occur. Like me finally finding employment in San Diego I like and was good at. To only have all my clothes misplaced by someone in a transitioning program. That event minimized all my effort to present myself a certain way at work. The rest of the week was no better at the transitioning shelter (two clocks different tines). However I excelled which only made me realize transitioning in this city at this tine in my life failed me. Thus I had to remove myself and not let ideals of those events be, what may have been intentional efforts of a sub-cultural collective. There is nothing worst than an individual attempting self determinate actions, only to be minimized.

Here are some statistics comparing homeless rate increase from 2013 to 2014.  California leads the nation in homelessness.

2014 Estimates

The Non-Citizen, American Citizen!

The Non-citizen, American Citizen (8/2015)

Where is my United States Federal issued Citizenship Identification Card (Clinton Administration)? So now I can’t leave the country!  Damn I’m starting to feel occupied in my own country, which won’t acknowledge my national citizenship. What’s next, inter-state visas?

From the past, a history lesson regarding American (United States Identity Card): Provided by: EPIC (https://epic.org/privacy/id_cards/)

National ID cards have long been advocated as a means to enhance national security, unmask potential terrorists, and guard against illegal immigrants. They are in use in many countries around the world including most European countries, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Currently, the United States and the United Kingdom have continued to debate the merits of adopting national ID cards. The types of card, their functions, and privacy safeguards vary widely.

Americans have rejected the idea of a national ID card. When the Social Security Number (SSN) was created in 1936, it was meant to be used only as an account number associated with the administration of the Social Security system. Though use of the SSN has expanded considerably, it is not a universal identifier and efforts to make it one have been consistently rejected. In 1971, the Social Security Administration task force on the SSN rejected the extension of the Social Security Number to the status of an ID card. In 1973, the Health, Education and Welfare Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems concluded that a national identifier was not desirable. In 1976, the Federal Advisory Committee on False Identification rejected the idea of an identifier.

In 1977, the Carter Administration reiterated that the SSN was not to become an identifier, and in 1981 the Reagan Administration stated that it was “explicitly opposed” to the creation of a national ID card. The Clinton administration advocated a “Health Security Card” in 1993 and assured the public that the card, issued to every American, would have “full protection for privacy and confidentiality.” Still, the idea was rejected and the health security card was never created. In 1999 Congress repealed a controversial provision in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 which gave authorization to include Social Security Numbers on driver’s licenses.

In response to the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, there has been renewed interest in the creation of national ID cards. Soon after the attacks, Larry Ellison, head of California-based software company Oracle Corporation, called for the development of a national identification system and offered to donate the technology to make this possible. He proposed ID cards with embedded digitized thumbprints and photographs of all legal residents in the U.S. There was much public debate about the issue, and Congressional hearings were held. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich testified that he “would not institute a national ID card because you do get into civil liberties issues.” When it created the Department of Homeland Security, Congress made clear in the enabling legislation that the agency could not create a national ID system. In September 2004, then-DHS Secretary Tom Ridge reiterated, “[t]he legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security was very specific on the question of a national ID card. They said there will be no national ID card.”

The public continues to debate the issue, and there have been many other proposals for the creation of a national identification system, some through the standardization of state driver’s licenses. The debate remains in the international spotlight — several nations are considering implementing such systems. The U.S. Congress has passed the REAL ID Act of 2005, which mandates federal requirements for driver’s licenses. Critics argue that it would make driver’s licenses into de facto national IDs. EPIC and others have called for the repeal of this ill-conceived national identification law.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

History

The REAL ID Act of 2005 creates a de facto national identification card. Ostensibly voluntary, it would become mandatory as those without the card would face suspicion and increased scrutiny. It is a law imposing federal technological standards and verification procedures on state driver’s licenses and identification cards, many of which are beyond the current capacity of the federal government, and mandating state compliance by May 2008. In fact, REAL ID turns state DMV workers into federal immigration officials, as they must verify the citizenship status of all those who want a REAL ID-approved state driver’s license or identification cards. State DMVs would far move away from their core mission — to license drivers.

REAL ID was appended to a bill providing tsunami relief and military appropriations, and passed with little debate and no hearings. The REAL ID Act repealed provisions in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which contained “carefully crafted language — bipartisan language — to establish standards for States issuing driver’s licenses,” according to Sen. Richard Durbin. After more than two years, the Department of Homeland Security issued draft regulations for state compliance on March 1, 2007.

The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates (pdf) that the cost to the states will be more than $11 billion over five years. This is more than 100 times the $100 million cost that Congress initially estimated. For 2006, $40 million was allocated for start-up costs. It is likely that the cost will be shouldered by the public. The Department of Homeland Security originally estimated that REAL ID will cost $23.1 billion over 10 years. But, when the agency released the final rule in January 2008, it made dubious assumptions and claimed that the national ID system would only cost $9.9 billion.

EPIC and 24 experts in privacy and technology submitted detailed comments (pdf) in May 2007 on the draft regulations explaining the many privacy and security threats raised by the REAL ID Act. The fundamentally flawed national identification system is unworkable and the REAL ID Act must be repealed. In particular, the group admonishes DHS for its failure to include adequate privacy and security safeguards for this massive national identification database. DHS’s own Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee has refused (pdf) to endorse the agency’s plan. “The Committee feels it is important that the following comments do not constitute an endorsement of REAL ID or the regulations as workable or appropriate.”

DHS’s Final Rule to Implement REAL ID

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff released the agency’s final regulationsfor REAL ID on January 11, 2008. The Secretary scaled back some of the requirements, reduced the cost, and extended the deadline for state compliance. However, Secretary Chertoff also indicated that the REAL ID card would be used for a wide variety of purposes, unrelated to the law that authorized the system, including employment verification and immigration determination. He also indicated that the agency would not prevent the use of the card by private parties for non-government purposes. As part of the cost-saving effort, Homeland Security has decided not to encrypt the data that will be stored on the card.

In an opinion column written by Secretary Chertoff after the publication of the final rule, he said, “embracing REAL ID” would mean it would be used to “cash a check, hire a baby sitter, board a plane or engage in countless other activities.” This is a description of a national identification system, which is illegal in the United States. When it created the Department of Homeland Security, Congress made clear in the enabling legislation that the agency could not create a national ID system. In September 2004, then-DHS Secretary Tom Ridge reiterated, “[t]he legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security was very specific on the question of a national ID card. They said there will be no national ID card.”

EPIC Analysis of Final Rule to Implement REAL ID

In a detailed analysis (pdf) of the final rule, EPIC explained that the Department of Homeland Security’s REAL ID system includes few protections for individual privacy and security in its massive national identification database. It harms national security by creating yet another “trusted” credential for criminals to exploit. The Department of Homeland Security has faced so many obstacles with the REAL ID system that the agency now plans an implementation deadline of 2017 — nine years later than the 2008 statutory deadline. It is an unfunded mandate that would cost billions, with the burden ultimately being placed on the individual taxpayer.

Technical experts familiar with the challenges of privacy protection and identification presented the Department of Homeland Security with a variety of recommendations that would have minimized the risks of the REAL ID system. The DHS made some modifications, but left the essential system in place. As REAL ID currently stands, the costs are many and the benefits are few. EPIC also detailed the State rebellion against REAL ID.

EPIC urged the alternative model of a system of decentralized identification. This reduces the risks associated with security breaches and the misuse of personal information. Technological innovation can enable the development of context-dependent identifiers. A decentralized approach to identification is consistent with our commonsense understanding of identification. If you are banking, you should have a bank account number. If go to the library, you should have a library card number. If you rent videos from a store, you should have a video rental store card number. Utility bills, telephone bills, insurance, the list goes on. These context-dependent usernames and passwords enable authentication without the risk of a universal identification system. That way, if one number is compromised, all of the numbers are not spoiled and identity thieves cannot access all of your accounts. All of your accounts can become compartmentalized, enhancing their security.

Margret Finn of South West Behavioral Services, LIES about Phoenix Police Department

Margret Finn of South West Behavioral Services, LIES about Phoenix Police Department. (Case Manager Neglect ) by: Paul Goree

This is the ongoing details regarding the neglected actions and defamations of South West Behavioral Services case manager Margret Finn. Till date 4 years have elapses and still no conclusion or actions have been taken against Margret Finn. Margret Finn herself has failed to acknowledge her wrongful actions, and there effect upon client Paul Goree. Thus I will continue to disclosure valuable details of the events as they occurred from Nov 2012 to the present.

In is imperative that all case managers and civic personal that interact with citizens, understand the affect they have on an individual. Deceptive behavior and expression, not only cause confusion for clients, but also reflect upon inter civic departments. For example, Margret Finn has cost the state of ARIZONA and CALIFORNIA, valuable social service dollars, as I continue to be unable to progress forward without CLOSURE of her actions. I think Mrs. Finn fully needs to understand the doubt she has cast upon other interlinked departments, such as the Phoenix Police Department is detrimental to the social collective.

“There is a police/social work partnerships that serve as a community response to crisis situations signaled by calls for police service.” (Charles W. Dean, Ph.D., University of North Carolina). The importance of the police/case management partnership is to provide communicational link by which the police department aids in the socio factors of development for the client. These factors are within the environment of the client’s placement. And aid the police department as the officers secure a safety-productive environment not only for the client, but for the general society.

November 2012, Margret Finn’s clients Paul Goree and Angel Thurman had an incident with the Phoenix Police Department. Client Angel Thurman called 911, and made a complaint against client Paul Goree. The complaint expressed notions that Paul Goree had threaten Angel Thurman with several knives. The 911 dispatched 5 Phoenix Police units to 4802 N 19th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85015. The police officer after securing the apartment and gathering the report, concluded by providing a CIVIC 101 Lesson of appropriate usage of 911 services to Angel Thurman. The officer then requested the name and phone number of the case manager: Johnny Garcia/Margret Finn South West Behavioral Services. Finally the officer informed me as he wrote upon his report, that he would be requesting a SEPARATION INTERVENTION, seeming he had concluded that Thurman and Goree’s living arrangement was not going to be practical: and would only result in repeat incidences.
I agreed with the officer and later reflected upon the monetary cost, Angel Thurman’s false phone call cost the city of Phoenix. That cost also includes the 2 later complaints (December 2012 and February 2013). Three 911 calls to the Phoenix Police Department, expressing complaints from Angel Thurman about the living discomfort both he and I were experiencing. Yet not one intervention from Margret Finn and South West Behavioral Services.

When I confronted Margret Finn with questions as to why she nor Johnny Garcia intervene as the Phoenix Police Department had requested, she replied, “She had not received any police reports or incident reports from the Police Department.” Once again Margret Finn lies to conceal her unethical manners. I questioned whether Mrs. Finn actually expects me to believe that the Phoenix Police Department is lying. This is the type of character flaw that should to be examine regarding Mrs. Finns conduct as a case manager.

The 911 calls and the corresponding police reports can easily be pulled to provide the evidence needed to conclude Margret Finns and South West Behavioral Services neglect. Had Mrs. Finn attended to the 3 police interventions ranging from November 2012 thru February 2013, I would have been placed in a different environment, and proceed forward productively. At this point, I will seek legal representation against Mrs. Finn and South West Behavioral Services. I think Mrs. Finn does not fully understand the importance of her position as if affects the lives of others and incurred financial expenses and continued dependency upon social services, effecting the state’s economic security.

Why The Game…Is It Any Wonder (1 of 5 Why The Game-Sectional Chapters of No Mass: Cosmic Games)

WHY THE GAME…IS IT ANY WONDER (1 of 5 Why the Game-Sectional Chapters of No Mass:Cosmic Games) (by: Paul Goree 2011-2014)

Lot seemed perturb, only to be further frustrated; as he attempted to cognate some feelings of discontent. If it was nothing to be felt, then why would a settled suggestion exist. A suggestion, from the No Mass, stating as usual, what they would like to implant into Lots mind. As long as he fought the thoughts, which were not internal: he had the upper hand on this very exhausting communication.

LOT to ST. P
I dont’ get it? What is the feeling, of which nothing is felt, yet something is thought, ought to be felt!

ST.P to LOT
It’s just the game. The Game insist on having total control. Thus No Mass, pound upon a mind, like a constant jack hammer. It’s intent is to cement, seeds of conformity. By creating confusing within the internal mind, No Mass knows that sooner or later, the subject will break! It’s a cruel tactic, but no different than the one used on earth for brain washing.

I remember when I first came into contact with No Mass. They seemed like the most rudest creatures on earth. They had a way of sizing up entire events, without any regards to the universal error they had made. The error was because they lacked to include within their total, 80% of the totals variables. Their equation, left out unknown values, which are the core of 3rd dimensional social dynamics. It is termed, Simple Social Interaction. It hypothesizes that:

Wij = aj + B jE ( Wj) + yj Xij + uij

(This equation is altered, using individuals as the expressions, instead of countries, as stated in Daniel Felsenstein work.) The equation supposes that two individuals are identical except for the fact that A had more space than B. If the populations are the same where both resided, the inhabitant of B would have more opportunity to interact, considering proximity. This equation would have to take into account other variables, such as the earning levels of each, characteristics, education, sex, health, etc. The entire scope of defining an individual, is much more than it’s 20% sum. Yet No Mass, in their attempt to re-condition a mind. Selectively removed all variables that accounted for individualism. This way, they could have more control of the collective.

No Mass attempts to prevent Kiais-Spiritual Kiais, the soul shouting out to the universe. Unfortunately in the 3rd dimension, the majority are unaware of this fact. They may pray, but their prays are not complete in proportion to the essence to their faith. Many over come this, through empowerment and human discipline. When such great events occur, the critic of such triumphs are shadowed. To make matters worst, the triumphs are often diffused early in their stages, by professional, who out of their own jealous worth; intentionally attend and not attend to create failure.

They didn’t want self pride to become a characteristic of the collective. They instead wanted the collective to be the pride of their individual defective souls. Each soul was ugly, damaged, sinful, manipulative, evil, and could not be trusted. However as a collective, the individual souls, formed a new identity for themselves. And this is where their pride should encompass.

They hated individualism. The ideal of an individual seeking internal peace, through reflective dialog within the self, was not tolerated. Negativity streamed the air, to interrupt such people, as they sought to meditate. There was no UNCONDITIONAL RESPECT for any person, seeking peace first for the internal, then the external. Such people were considered dangerous, because they socially isolated themselves from the external. It was considered offensive to be alone, think alone, dream alone. It isn’t a wonder-it is incidental and it conditions, preventing the TAO humble tolerance. I was hated for my silence. While in my silence, I was reflecting my entire life. I was laughing inside to my silly antics. I was crying inside for my non-compassion. I was redeeming myself for the many times I wasn’t loving. And by doing this in silence, in my mind, alone, I was hated. People like to learn from one another-yes this is true. But before one can learn from another, shouldn’t they let that other learn of themselves first. Thus preventing chaos!

The feeling of frustration that you may feel, Lot. I understand-seeming the soul is captured within the physical elements of the 3rd dimension. Now that you are quasi physical in the 4th dimension, you have a clearer understand of energy. Your soul energy here is the same as it was in the 3rd dimension. One exception, you had less control of it. Seeming it was restricted by the physical body. The physical body prevented the soul from existing as a total. In-fact the conditions by which the soul existed, were quit cramped, and created an invisible pressure, equating to stress. Many awakening thoughts and practices in the 3rd dimension, sought to clarify the soul energy. They expressed such thoughts of the internal self seeking peace. Well that is in direct contradiction of 3rd dimensional reasoning.

The awakening thoughts suggest that the conflict of the internal soul seeking peace, creates external fixations. These fixations become psychosis to the peace seeker. When the peace seeker is in meditation, they are able to move the fixations into bubble like containers. These bubble containers rise above the peace seekers head, and become separate from the peace seeker, reliving prior stress. The more advance the peace seeker get, the bubbles start to burst. The objective is to burst all of the bubbles, thus removing the soul from the manifestations of the external world, that have occupied the mind/wit/soul/sub-conscious. Once this free empty state of mind is obtained. The soul can attempt to do what it does best. Transmute it’s self into the spectrum of the universe. Very few in the 3rd dimension get the opportunity to enjoy this wonder.

Lot you speak of feeling something, with nothing to feel, but ought to be felt! Well considering your quasi 3rd dimensional state, that is what it is-confusion. Yet imagine 4th dimensional existences, feeling the same as you, but towards a 5th dimensional lacking. In which they soulfully seek. Is it any wonder?

Case Manager Neglect: Importance of Civil Liberties

CASE MANAGER NEGLECT: THE IMPORTANCE OF CIVIL LIBERTIES
We the people, of the nation for the people by the people: Value the guarantee of security, found in our civil liberties. These liberties are rooted in the Bill of Rights. They ensure that as a citizen of the United States of America no individual or organizations can violate our pursuit of happiness and life!!! Yet case managers like Margret Finn and Johnny Juan Garcia from South West Behavioral Services, have proven these liberties NO LONGER have any weight or security. Their neglective and violating actions are being done at a time when our nation is defending AMERICANS from terrorist. Yet their actions (terrorist in nature) slowly erode the core values by which we are subject to a desensitized understanding and acceptance of our rights. I can not and will not let this ordeal be sweep under the rug:because no matter what the out come is-my AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES WILL NOT BE VIOLATED AND GO UNATTENDED!

Margret Finn
South West Behavioral Services
Violated 5th Amendment of Paul Goree (May 2013)

May 2013- Mrs. Finn failed to acknowledge the private property rights of Mr. Goree. All Americans have the right to the TOTAL ownership of their private property and purchases. It is irrelevant if the private property is .10 cent lollipop or $80,000.00 car. If we allow these minute variances become non-acknowledge, then we contribute to our nations decline. My paid invoice from COX Communication gurantees ownership, by which I am the only person who can delegate usage, sale, or transfers: Not Mrs. Finn.

Johnny Juan Garcia
South West Behavioral Services
Violated 4th Amendment of Paul Goree and Guest (June 2013)

June 2013- Mr. Garcia failed to acknowledge that residency privacy is a matter of the property owner/management and the public enforcement (local police). The act of entering a private dwelling is not a decision sub contractual agents (such as case managers at South West Behavioral Services) can decided upon their own. The only people who can enter a property is the property owner/management and the local police (with a complaint or warrant). As Mr.Garcia entered my private dwelling, he violated not only my civil liberties, he also violated my guest civil liberties. My guest was a prior tenant, waiting for Mr. Garcia (property management had called Mr. Garcia’s office) to come and unlock the door to his prior apartment so that he could retrieve his personal items. Mr. Garcia to anxious to delegate the law, order him to leave the premises. After which Mr. Garcia called the police, who upon their arrival informed Mr.Garcia not to continue informing me of who and who can not be in this apartment: other wise he would be violating my civil liberties.

PART THREE: Maslow’s Theorem-The Great Society (Poverty in the USA)

PART THREE: Maslow’s Theorem-The Great Society (Poverty in the USA) (by: Paul Goree-work in progress 2014)

In Maslow’s work, TOWARD A PSYCHOLOGY OF BEING (1962), Maslow provides the concepts upon which a perspective of human societal illness and health merge to provided insight into constraints of social mobility. Maslow list 9 factors:

1.) We each have an essential biological based inner nature
2.) Each person’s inner nature is in part unique to himself
3.) It’s possible to study this inner nature scientifically
4.) The inner nature is not intrinsically evil-it is neutral or positive good
5.) Based on #4, it is best to seek behavior that encourage rather than suppress
6.) If the essential core of a person is suppress, it will seek subtle ways of
expression/illness
7.) The inner nature is not strong and overpowering. It is weak and easily overcome by
habit, cultural pressure and wrong attitudes
8.) Even though weak, it rarely disappears-it persist for actualization
9.) These conclusion must be articulated with the necessity of discipline-they are desirable experiences

From these 9 factors, Maslow concludes that the study of healthy people (physically and mentally) is a model by which self-fulfilling development can be obtained. The possibilities of this development is based upon the essences of the inner nature as it expresses itself “freely”, rather than suppressed. This individual status has a collective result on the entire society. Each of us is a portion of the collective and create through our individual nature, a macro unconscious. Maslow stated, “…every crime against one’s own nature, every evil act…records itself in our unconscious and makes us despise ourselves…” An individuals despising themselves, project upon society an illness, that effects the concept of collectives worth.

From Karen Horney, Maslow develop the notion that collective worth is recorded in the individuals unconscious. Horney uses the term “register” to explain the process by which the individual injures their inner nature. Horney stated, “If we do something we are ashamed of, it “registers” to our discredit and if we do something…good, it registers to our credit. The net result ultimately are either one or the other-either we respect and accept ourselves or we despise ourselves and feel contemptible, worthless and unlovable…” It thus becomes a duty of the collective to attend to this worthlessness, felt by the individual. This duty improves the lives of us and others.

We must be concerned at all times about the kind of individuals, the world creates. Seeming the inner nature seeks to actualize itself, it benefits society to collectively assist in this process. Maslow suggested that sick people (mentally and physically) are made ill and healthy by culture. “…sick individuals make their culture more sick and healthy individuals make their culture more healthy. Improving health is one approach to making a better world…” To improve a healthy society, we should look towards personal growth development strategies.

The extend an individual attempts to satisfy the physiological aspects of Maslow’s lower level, can become a factor by which unhealthy mental and physical conditions can develop. Stress is a main contributor to unhealthy conditions, by which chronic stress can cause heart problems, mental problems and eventually death if unattended. The worthiness an individual experiences, also has potential effects on the effort exerted. The importance of this effort within a competitive environment, also creates stress, leading to an sick individual.. This worthlessness has some limiting affects on the over all effort an individual is capable or willing to exert. In her work So You Think I Drive A Cadillac. Karen Seccombe provides qualitative and quantitative data that suggest some in need of social welfare are unwilling or hesitant to apply for it due to the stigma associated with public assistance. Many of the case studies Seccombe detail, are in Maslow’s lower level of hierarchical need. The ideal of dis-empowering themselves due to societal stigma is a backwards step for a Great Society. By which a concept of “unconditional effort” should replace the false stigma associated with personal growth development. Unconditional effort, refers to rewarding and acknowledging, all and any effort an individual puts towards self development.

The ideal of effort is directly linked to compensation in a Capitalistic society. In Alfred Adler work, Adler studied gifted personalities and universalized the concept of compensation into basic law of human nature. According to the Adlerian Theory, “challenges of illness, birth defects, poverty, or other toward circumstance in youth provide the stimulus for all higher achievement.” This has a negative factor on the collective, as it bases self achievement competitively. Whereas in an “idyllic” society, “unconditional effort” embraces and rewards all levels of effort exerted. In a Great Society, the opportunity to encourage one another is a means of reducing the collective sickness.

Maslow’s hierarchical levels are not exclusive to adults. In Greshman Sykkes and David Matza’s work, the unattended physiological needs spill over into the decision making process of delinquents. This spillage becomes a factor that effects the over all society as crime rates rise and the notions of self worth and growth erode. Sykes and Matza argued that delinquents do not have conventional values. Conventional society demands a civic expectation (not steal, covet, kill, etc) of co-existences. However these youth inhabit a sub-culture where the values are not supported. These delinquents develope guilt and shame, as they attempt to exist within an environment that sometimes requires violations of the social norm. They justify their behavior through rationalizing, which neutralizes their potential guilt, before the law is broken. Sykes and Matza termed this process, “techniques of neutralization”, which focused upon:

1.) Denial of responsibility
2.) Denial of injury
3.) Denial of the victim
4.) Condemnation of the condemner

All of these factors lead to a collective societal illness, which hampers the validity of a Great Society. Recently actions were taken by investment brokerage – Goldman Sach, to help the city of Boston reduce crime and recidivism among, first time offenders. Goldman Sachs executives analyzed the circumstances of criminal activity and determined that they could effectively administrate Boston’s crime, resulting in a lower recidivism and empowered prior “criminals”, who then would be integrated successfully into society. This integration attends to the physiological needs that Maslow details. Goldman Sach, invested in a non-profit organization ROCA, whose objective for the past 26 years has been to transition young male criminals from the streets to the “legitimate economy”. Actions such as this, contribute to curing the sickness of society, regarding delinquency and criminal activity.

Sometimes the sickness of society is one that is a direct financial burden. Consider the financial stress placed upon parents and grammar school students unable to attend, a civic class/social studies/American government class, field trip to Washington D.C. In a Great Society, education of the youth is the end result of our future. At no extent should cost be cut or opportunities be limited. Especially due to economic disadvantages. It seems unjust to stratify grammar students with economical variances. It also seems unjust to place that financial burden upon the parent (s). Under most conditions, families at the lower level of Maslow’s hierarchical diagram, are below the poverty level. In some instance, public grants are available in some states for those that meet income requirements. However, a greater portions of the families at the lower level, are working families at the poverty level or slightly above. The poverty line in the United State 2013 was $15, 510 for a family of 2 and $23, 550 for a family of 4 (HHS, 2013).

As I continue to analyze Maslow’s Hierarchical Theory of Needs, I will focus on the cost expenditure of social programs that attempt to lead our nation to a Great Society. I will continue to analyze Social Democracy in the United States, as it may have varying effects upon our economic system.

JOURNEY TO MARS (Torpor Stasis-Therapeutic Hypothermia Coma)

Sci-fi becomes reality, as NASA along with Atlanta based, Space Works develop advanced prototypes for space travel. John Bradford CEO of Space Works provided NASA with the preliminary method of space travel. Long-term space travel has been a mission of many, yet has remained remote. The hazardous space environment, could create several threats to astronauts/consumers, health and psychological wellbeing. NASA has found that besides the psychological stress of isolation, astronauts would have to overcome, zero gravity for extended periods. Consequences of zero gravity is muscle wastage and bone decalcification. Also of concer is radiation from the Sun over long periods of exposure, can result in cancer.

Until recently, these obstacles prevented strategic development of long term human space missions. With medical technical advancements, Bradford’s team has created a sleeper spaceship. The sleeper spaceship carries 6 passengers and utilities artificially induced hibernation. NASA space studies now can be a reality, as astronauts travel unconsciously while their metabolism is altered into slow motion. Space travel to Mars is a 180 days, with this new technology, 160 of those days could be spent in a state of torpor stasis.

The torpor periods would be supervised by rotating flight members. Each member would be scheduled to awake for a brief period, to check in on the other members. This would include checking their intravenous feeding tubes, urine removal systems, Earth communication, and temperature modulators. The members are awakened when the hibernation module hooks up a medical system. The medical system inserts body cooling tubes through the nostrils. Heating pads regulate temperature, to make sure the body doesn’t cool too rapidly.

The body temperature must drop only about five degrees Fahrenheit—98.6 to about 93 degrees. Sedatives in the feeding lines would suppress the members shiver flexes. The space sleeper unit, rotates creating a centrifugal force simulating gravity. This would prevent the consequences of zero gravity. The hibernation of astronauts makes the possibility of long term space missions more of a reality. These missions would be easier and more affordable with minimal health risk.

Torpor Stasis is based on current medical procedures, used to suspend a patient during cardiac arrest incidences, attenuating injuries, brain injuries, and improving neurologic outcomes. In 2005 American Heart Association provided guidelines for therapeutic hypothermia, a resuscitation science dating back to Hippocrates. The procedure includes returning an unconscious adult patient to spontaneous circulation after hospital cardiac arrest at 32-34 Celsius for 12-24 hours. The cooling method used to induce hypothermia coma includes ice packs, cooling blankets with heat exchange devices, cooling helmet for the brain, cooling methods for catheter-based technologies, cooling methods for infusion of cold fluids.

Achieving cooling target temperature (torpor stasis) can be reached within 3-4 hours. The rewarming begins 24 hours after the operation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is used to control hypertension. While hemodynamic instability is monitored in case of dysrhythmia (bleeding) develops. ECG Osbourne monitor heart rate and the skin is checked every 2-6 hours for thermal injuries caused by the cold blankets.

The use of therapeutic hypothermia in space travel is, “Ultimately, what we’ll have to do…It may take some time to get it to the state of effectiveness we want it to go to,” Bradford stated. The project is less than 20 years (estimated 2030). NASA’s recent SLS (Space Launch System) with the new Orion spacecraft expected to launch December 04, 2014: NASA is preparing for the first human test mission to Mars, in 2030. Bradford believes that if all goes well with NASA’s intended future launches, the sleep spacecraft could be a great vehicle for colonization of the moon or mars.

Part Two: Maslow’s Theorem-The Great Society (Poverty in the USA)

(image: http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/5_10x10_Infographic_750px.jpg)

Following up with Maslow’s Theorem for the Great Society. I think it’s important to go over some basic economics, in reference to social services. Poverty in the United States represents a larger portion of the society. The following represents discussion board answers I provided for a social welfare course at ASU Fall 2011. These questions and answer, provide a vivid expose of what poverty is in the United States, and how Maslow’s Theory of hierarchy of needs can flourish a Great Society in the USA. Within this society self-sufficiency can be obtained, while business/economical growth procure.  The author of the text was Jacqueline Brux (Economic Issues and Policy (5^th edition) and the instructor Mrs. Niles.

DB# 6 Poverty

1. Describe key micro economic forces that serve to support the continued existence of poverty in the United States?

The primary key micro economic  forces, that support the continued existence of poverty in the United States are, definition of poverty, feminization of poverty, lower wage service sector jobs, budget cuts and program time lines. I think it’s important that an accurate definition of poverty be understood. In chapter 6 of Jacqueline M. Brux’s text, Economic Issues and Policy, Brux’s  states that, “There are two ways to look at poverty. One is considering relative poverty-a situation in which people are poor in comparison to other people. The other is b y considering absolute poverty– a situation in which people experience actual hardship according to some objective criterion.”(Brux, 2008, pg. 132)

Between the two phrases, either one could be manipulated to include a portion of the society which is not actually in poverty, but because of the measure used to define, they are placed into poverty.  For example, if one was to use absolute poverty, and made the criterion be, ownership of a home. This would exclude all those who do make more than the poverty line, but due to their non-ownership of housing, they are now automatically considered in poverty. I think this manipulation of definition is used often by the media and political personalities in an attempt to push their agendas.

Another aspect to consider is the feminization of poverty. In chapter 1 of Karen Seccombe’s text, So You Think I Drive A Cadillac, Seccombe states that, “…women’s economic status is often more tentative than is the case for men. This is particularly true if a woman is not employed and is deriving her economic status through her partner…even when they are employed, women face unique challenges in the general workplace. Lower wages for work of comparable worth, occupational segregation, and unequal returns on education …” (Seccombe, 1999, pg.8)  Seeming that women represent the majority of AFDC/TANF cases loads, there is an entire realm of stigma, associating poverty with social welfare, and women. Obviously these associations are false, yet still contribute to support poverty in the United States. This is more apparent in Brux’s text, when it is suggested, “women bear the greatest burden of poverty…Historical reasons include growth in the number of female headed households, teen pregnancies, discrimination in the labor market and domestic violence towards women.”(Brux, pg.139)

Seeming discrimination in the labor market is a reality, then it should come to no surprise how the lower wage service sector supports poverty and assist in keeping women economic status low.

2. Describe key macro economic forces that serve to support the continued existence of poverty in the United States?

The prevailing macro economic forces that serves to support poverty in  the United States is income distribution.  In chapter 6, Brux’s defines income distribution as follows, “The income distribution refers to the division of total income in the economy among different income groups…income distribution is based on…money income: that is, all household income received from working, interest, rent, dividends, or any other source before payment of taxes. Included…is any government income transfer…not counted…are in-kind transfers.” ( pg. 132) I find several problems with this method of income distribution. First it excludes in kind transfers (food stamps, section 8,  public health, TANF cash aid), thus these recipients do not have any money income, when being categorized. However the person working and receiving money income, use that income for food, housing and health care purposes. In addition these  persons with money income have the advantage of accumulating a savings.

Brux’s states that, “Most people, economists included, argue that some degree of income inequality is essential to preserve incentives.”(pg.133) Although I agree with this, when considering “support of continued existence of poverty in the United States”, I tend to find incentives a cruel deceptive word. This is because when a person has no money income (and is classified as such by income distribution), the ladder to some upper ward economical security is diminished. I think it becomes non-realistic to vision prosperity, when you are homeless and in poverty. The ideal of incentives, seems to lapse these two segments of the society. Brux’s points out, “Poverty also results in poor health and nutrition, which may sap energy and harm labor productivity.” (pg.133) As long as poor health and nutrition exist in the United States, industry markets can be created to attend to the need. Thus the continued existence of poverty under the term of income distribution is beneficial to the creators of these attentive industry markets.

Another aspect I like to consider is unemployment. In chapter 14 of Brux’s text, to understand unemployment, Brux’s suggest one must understand the labor force. “The labor force refers to all people age 16 and older who are working for pay plus all people in this age range who are actively seeking employment.” (pg. 324)  When these two forces decrease, the number of people entering poverty will increase. This can be beneficial to some employers, because it give justification to the Tertiary Job Sector.  In chapter 8 of Seccombe’s text, Seccombe defines the tertiary sector as, “The tertiary sector, or service sector, is the fastest growing sector of our economy and focuses on providing a wide variety of services.” (pg.198) It is suggested that these tertiary jobs contribute to poverty, because they pay less, offer few benefits, are primarily part time employment and are without union protections. All of these factors lead to an increase in poverty, using the absolute poverty model.

3. Discuss poverty as an issue related to social justice?

When I think of social justice and poverty, I think of government and non-governmental organizations that assist to decrease the burden many face in their day to day functioning. Social Justice implies, that all citizens are entitled to a respectable level of existence. In chapter 6 of Brux’s text,  Brux provides an excellent explanation regarding social justice and poverty. “Because discrimination plays a role in poverty, it is important that our nation strives to provide equal opportunities to all people in the area of education, housing and employment…Several government programs are designed to help the poor.” (pg. 144-145) A few of these programs include, Section 8 for affordable housing, Medicaid for healthcare, SSI for income after retirement, WIC for supplemental nutrition for children and women, Food Stamps for nutritional needs, TANF Cash for emergency cash assistants.

In chapter 7 of Seccombe’s text, testimonials are provided, detailing the social justice of poverty from the recipient perspective. Seccombe states, “Few women had quick or enthusiastic answers to my query about the positive aspects of welfare…Three themes emerged in our discussion. First, a number of women commented that welfare provides an important floor for poor families, albeit a marginal one. Without welfare, several women told me that they would have no recourse other than to be living out on the streets, in a homeless shelter, or remain married to a physically or emotionally abusive spouse…Second, several specific programs were mentioned repeatedly as being particularly helpful. Medicaid was mentioned most often…The third strength noted was the welfare system is the favorable review given to several reform efforts. In particular, voluntary programs designed to assist women’s transition off welfare…The most comprehensive of these programs, the Family Transition Program (FTP), was a two year “human-capital-investment” program that included numerous features designed to assist participants towards self-sufficiency…” (pg.162-163)

Although economic conservatives will endlessly debate these programs are spillover  cost             passed on to tax payers, without these valuable programs, much worst events would unfold                 within this nation.

4.) Discuss poverty as an issue related to economic justice or  injustice?

When I think of economic justice/injustice and poverty, I immediately look towards our elected officials to remedy any faults. To me, economic injustice is preventing opportunity to segments of the population. For example, I cannot find justification for the use of regressive taxes in the United States. Why would the society want to tax the greater amount from the lowest income, than from the higher income.  It seems completely backwards, and place duress and burdens upon the lowest income workers. In chapter 16 of Brux’s text, she seems to agree, when she states, “A regressive tax is one that takes a larger percent of income from low-income households than from high-income ones. Most of the taxes in our country are regressive. Does this surprise you? Our regressive taxes include sales taxes, most excise taxes, property taxes and the Social Security tax. Because some of these taxes are not levied directly on incomes, seeing why they are regressive is sometimes difficult.” (pg. 385)

Brux is correct, regressive taxation should not surprise anyone, which is why our nation is experiencing its 11^th week of Occupy America. The goal is to make Americans aware of their true economical status in this nation, which is 99%. And why is it that 99% of the population is expected to carry 100% of the national debit, when such essentials: as employment is a huge barrier. It’s time for the 1% to redistribute their wealth in order for there to be economical justices.

5)  Discuss poverty as a life course risk?

I feel the best way I can answer this question, is from the testimonials provided by Karen Seccombe in her text, “So You Think I Drive A Cadillac?” These testimonials provide some real life poverty and the course risk involved.  At the beginning of each testimonial I will provided the course risk involved with each testimonial.

Nutrition:

In chapter 5, Seccombe details factors of living and surviving on food stamps. One of the respondents, Stephanie, a nursing student, stated the following. “No! I eat out very rarely, so I find that food stamps rarely last the month for me. I eat very little meat. But I try to eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. I try to be very healthful in my diet. I eat a low fat diet. And unfortunately, those foods are expensive. When it comes to the end of the month, I sometimes have to pay $20 or $30 (cash) until the next time I can get food stamps. Some months are four weeks, and some are five. Like, right now, it’s tight. I only have one gallon of milk in the fridge, a half a loaf of bread, and some orange juice. I have to be real creative about what I make to eat. There haven’t been any fruits or veggies this past week. (pg. 112)

Un-Planned Adult Pregnancies:

In chapter 1, Seccombe details factors of un-planned adult pregnancy.  The respondent is Patrice. Seccombe asked “Do you think this happens to a lot of women?” Patrice states, “I really do. Well, it’s like this. Being a young lady, I think a lot of women date a guy for years. And then you get pregnant. You expect him not really to marry you, but to be there for you and the child, but they hump up and leave. I believe women get depressed because of the fact that you got to just totally give up your life. Like me, I was in nursing school, and I was doing great. I came pregnant, so I got depressed because the guy left after all those years. I had to resign in my eight month of pregnancy. But I was working then too, because I was trying to maintain my rent and my car, you know. I think a lot of women become discouraged and depressed because what you are expecting in life-all your dreams and fantasies become nightmares. The guy leaves you, and then you know you got to turn to welfare, which everybody thinks is bad because, you know its taxpayer money. People be criticizing you. Then you have to stand in these long lines to get stamps. Then you have to be criticized on a daily basis. And it’s just discouraging Then you have to go for your appointments, sometimes there for two or three hours before your worker calls you. They just blobber your business out loud in the lobby [laughter]. You got to be embarrassed. You look around, you know? Then you have to go into the health department and everybody looks pitiful…You be depressed. Then you be vulnerable to the situation. The first guy-well maybe not the first-but a guy promises you the world and you are weak to the situation. You don’t think your own situation is going to ever get any better, and then you end up in the same situation all over again if you don’t be smart. But after two mistakes-I won’t say mistakes because I love my children-but after two down falls, you know, with men, I’ve learned [laughter]. (pg. 4-5)

Lower Tier Employment: Consequences and Barriers:

In chapter 8, Seccombe details getting off of welfare, is it possible to become self sufficient? The is Eliza, a mother of 4. “That’s something I need is a job. I’ve been looking. I just can’t find the right one. I used to work at [fast food industry], but I wasn’t making much money. By the time I caught the city bus, went out there, by the time I got to my kids, I spent all the money that they gave me. I liked the job, but it was just that I had to pay .75 cent to get to work, and paid .75 cent to get back. If I missed the bus, I had to give somebody $3 or $4 to take me. And they wouldn’t give me enough hours. I told them when they gave me this jobs that I needed at least 30-40 hours a week. I just can’t afford to work less. But I was wasting my time going out there. I had to be at work by 11 o’clock, but they would send me home by 2 o’clock. I didn’t even get 20 hours a week. You hear what I’m saying? Ten or 12, maybe. I think what they was doing was hiring you for the busy hour, and once the busy hour passed, you was sent out of there. I had to quit because it was costing me too much to go way over there.

Maslow Theorem: The Great Society America 21st Century

Maslow Theorem: The Great Society America 21^st Century (work in progress-by Paul D. Goree)

Now that President Obama has cemented another critical piece to the resolvement of the Great Society. We now can look towards the final piece.  Abraham Maslow, cites several lower hierarchy social requirements, needed for upward mobility. These needs represent the physiological and sociological requirements of an individual to survive within a societal setting.These needs include water, food, safety, security, and shelter. If these lower hierarchy needs are not consistent/stable, then social upward mobility is not possible. For example, as soon as an individual has food/water, they are in need of shelter/housing. Once shelter/housing is required, they may lose their job, and then shelter/housing becomes an issue again. Thus this becomes a continuous circle,resulting in discouragement; in the Land of Liberty.

The Great Society (L.B. Johnson), suggests that all of the lower level survival needs be state provided (social welfare). With universal health care resolves safety and security, as AFDC/TANF resolves water and food. Now American can look to resolving housing needs. We can look towards HUD for some of these answers. Yet it still seems that states, may be able to resolve housing much better than the centralized bureaucracy that HUD is.

In Rubinger’s article: Why U.S. Desperately needs affordable homes, he states:

“America faces many more unresolved affordable housing challenges. A $26 billion capital-needs backlog that’s associated with our publicly financed affordable housing stock looms.

Traditional federal subsidies that enable affordability — such as Section 8, which authorizes rental housing payment assistance to private landlords on behalf of more than 3 million low-income households — are being cut back. Federal housing subsidy programs such as HOME were slashed this year. These vital programs need to be preserved and expanded.

Other important tools are at the ready, but sadly, they are inactive or underutilized.

Back in 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the National Housing Trust Fund, requiring at least 90% of its funds be used to build, preserve or rehabilitate rental housing for low-income households. But this program and others like it have yet to receive the funding that was envisioned by the law.

Another valuable initiative is the Rental Assistance Demonstration Program, which enables private developers to work with public housing authorities to preserve affordable housing. But it has only been funded for up to 60,000 housing units…”

According to the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (2013) the following data reflects the homeless population as of January 2013:

January 2013

• 610,042 people were homeless in the United States.
• Nearly two-thirds of people experiencing homelessness (65 percent or 394,698) were living in emergency shelters or transitional housing programs.
• More than one-third of all homeless people(35 percent or 215,344) were living in un-sheltered locations such as under bridges, in cars, or in abandoned buildings. Age of Homeless Population in 2013. In 2013, HUD required communities to provide estimates of homelessness in three age ranges— under age 18, 18 to 24 years old, and 25 years old and older.
• More than two-thirds of all homeless people (67 percent or 410,352 people) were 25 years or older.
• 10 percent of homeless people were 18 to 24 years old (or 61,541). This percentage remains the same regardless of sheltered status.
• Nearly one-quarter of all homeless people (23 percent or 138,149) were homeless children under the age of 18, and 30 percent of sheltered homeless people were children.
• 80 percent of unsheltered homeless people were over the age of 25. Less than 10 percent of the unsheltered population was under 18.

Why the Game…Is It Any Wonder (Part 1-5: Sectional Chapters from No Mass: Cosmic Games) by: Paul Goree 2011-2014

Why The Game…Is It Any Wonder (No Mass: Cosmic Games) by: Paul Goree 2011-2014

WHY THE GAME…IS IT ANY WONDER (1 of 5 Why the Game-Sectional Chapters of No Mass:Cosmic Games) (by: Paul Goree  2011-2014)

Lot seemed perturb, only to be further frustrated; as he attempted to cognate some feelings of discontent. If it was nothing to be felt, then why would a settled suggestion exist. A suggestion, from the No Mass, stating as usual, what they would like to implant into Lots mind. As long as he fought the thoughts, which were not internal: he had the upper hand on this very exhausting communication.

LOT to ST. P
I dont’ get it? What is the feeling, of which nothing is felt, yet something is thought, ought to be felt!

ST.P to LOT
It’s just the game. The Game insist on having total control. Thus No Mass, pound upon a mind, like a constant jack hammer. It’s intent is to cement, seeds of conformity. By creating confusing within the internal mind, No Mass knows that sooner or later, the subject will break! It’s a cruel tactic, but no different than the one used on earth for brain washing.

I remember when I first came into contact with No Mass. They seemed like the most rudest creatures on earth. They had a way of sizing up entire events, without any regards to the universal error they had made. The error was because they lacked to include within their total, 80% of the totals variables. Their equation, left out unknown values, which are the core of 3rd dimensional social dynamics. It is termed, Simple Social Interaction. It hypothesizes that:

W_ij = a_j + B _jE ( W_j) + y_j X_ij + u_ij

(This equation is altered, using individuals as the expressions, instead of countries, as stated in Daniel Felsenstein work.) The equation supposes that two individuals are identical except for the fact that A had more space than B. If the populations are the same where both resided, the inhabitant of B would have more opportunity to interact, considering proximity. This equation would have to take into account other variables, such as the earning levels of each, characteristics, education, sex, health, etc. The entire scope of defining an individual, is much more than it’s 20% sum. Yet No Mass, in their attempt to re-condition a mind. Selectively removed all variables that accounted for individualism. This way, they could have more control of the collective.

No Mass attempts to prevent Kiais-Spiritual Kiais, the soul shouting out to the universe. Unfortunately in the 3rd dimension, the majority are unaware of this fact. They may pray, but their prays are not complete in proportion to the essence to their faith.  Many over come this, through empowerment and human discipline. When such great events occur, the critic of such triumphs are shadowed. To make matters worst, the triumphs are often diffused early in their stages, by professional, who out of their own jealous worth; intentionally attend and not attend to create failure.

They didn’t want self pride to become a characteristic of the collective. They instead wanted the collective to be the pride of their individual defective souls. Each soul was ugly, damaged, sinful, manipulative, evil, and could not be trusted. However as a collective, the individual souls, formed a new identity for themselves. And this is where their pride should encompass.

They hated individualism. The ideal of an individual seeking internal peace, through reflective dialog within the self, was not tolerated. Negativity streamed the air, to interrupt such people, as they sought to meditate. There was noUNCONDITIONAL RESPECT for any person, seeking peace first for the internal, then the external. Such people were considered dangerous, because they socially isolated themselves from the external. It was considered offensive to be alone, think alone, dream alone.  It isn’t a wonder-it is incidental and it conditions, preventing the TAO humble tolerance. I was hated for my silence. While in my silence, I was reflecting my entire life. I was laughing inside to my silly antics. I was crying inside for my non-compassion. I was redeeming myself for the many times I wasn’t loving. And by doing this in silence, in my mind, alone, I was hated. People like to learn from one another-yes this is true. But before one can learn from another, shouldn’t they let that other learn of themselves first. Thus preventing chaos!

The feeling of frustration that you may feel, Lot. I understand-seeming the soul is captured within the physical elements of the 3rd dimension. Now that you are quasi physical in the 4th dimension, you have a clearer understand of energy. Your soul energy here is the same as it was in the 3rd dimension. One exception, you had less control of it. Seeming it was restricted by the physical body. The physical body prevented the soul from existing as a total. In-fact the conditions by which the soul existed, were quit cramped, and created an invisible pressure, equating to stress. Many awakening thoughts and practices in the 3rd dimension, sought to clarify the soul energy. They expressed such thoughts of the internal self seeking peace. Well that is in direct contradiction of 3rd dimensional reasoning.

The awakening thoughts suggest that the conflict of the internal soul seeking peace, creates external fixations. These fixations become psychosis to the peace seeker. When the peace seeker is in meditation, they are able to move the fixations into bubble like containers. These bubble containers rise above the peace seekers head, and become separate from the peace seeker, reliving prior stress. The more advance the peace seeker get, the bubbles start to burst. The objective is to burst all of the bubbles, thus removing the soul from the manifestations of the external world, that have occupied the mind/wit/soul/sub-conscious. Once this free empty state of mind is obtained. The soul can attempt to do what it does best. Transmute it’s self into the spectrum of the universe. Very few in the 3rd dimension get the opportunity to enjoy this wonder.

Lot you speak of feeling something, with nothing to feel, but ought to be felt! Well considering your quasi 3rd dimensional state, that is what it is-confusion. Yet imagine 4th dimensional existences, feeling the same as you, but towards a 5th dimensional lacking. In which they soulfully seek. Is it any wonder?

Tact, Mr. Lincoln (“Simple Lincoln”)

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

TACT, Mr. Lincoln (“Simple Lincoln”)

I have been posting several post (various social networks) that are beneficial to me as I go through what I am perceiving as it is happening to me. Thus since 2013 I’ve been posting about a Default (last/formal declaration or accordance) resulting in a Revolt. And until the revolt has closure, all that was constructed cannot simple be abolished. For several reasons, first we (I) am an American, and with that title comes the rights of expression. I cannot nor will wavier my freedom to express, that which I believe is correct. Likewise I encourage all to utilize to the most, their liberties, advocate our liberties and allow all to do the same. The events of my revolt, are due to the negligent actions of 2 case managers (Juan (Johnny) Garcia and Margret Finn) at SouthWest Behavioral Services. I can’t believe that the state of Arizona has licensed 2 case managers, providing them the right to do as they please. The disruption of another persons life could have been prevented by them. The additional comments and suggestion from other professionals, (like the Phoenix Police Department) went unattended to, as I let my life plunged downward, shock that these events are going unattended. As of 10/30/2014 legal action seems to be either too expensive or difficult. Thus I am left to continue writing and posting that maybe LIBERTY in the United States is bias. And that characters, such as Finn and Garcia can actually get away with murder. How many other clients have they done wrong. I’ve met 5 other. So Arizona is in the end responsible for licensing unethical case managers!

READ MORE AT: http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2014/09/client-profile-debate-unethical-actions.html
With that in mind, this week (Monday 20, 2014) I came across an uplifting article in the Smithsonian. The article was uplifting because it made me realize that my actions as they may be perceive by others, at some point are not well with me either. For example this article is definite proof to me, that my effort has interfered with my prior developed intent. The article was published February 2014 and I am just now reading it October 2014. Shame on me!!! But then it’s best to receive information when it is timely. Timely for me, is this week.The article Lincoln’s Boys is by Joshua Zeltz. As I read this article, I was amazed, up to page 77. Upon which the amazement became an internalization (providing for me validation or my purpose). What was written is as follows…

“(Lincoln) Populated his cabinet with former opponents for the Republican presidents discernment and magnanimity in choosing men who he “did not know”…He recognized them as governors, senators, and statesmen, while they yet looked upon him as a simple frontier lawyer at most, and a rival to who chance had transferred the honor they felt to be due to themselves.” Presaging the popular argument that Lincoln forged a “team of rivals”…the strong personalities and talents who constituted his inner circle did not always appreciate, “the stronger will and …more delicate tact [that] inspired and guided them all.” (Smithsonian, pg.77)

Upon reading this section, I paused and quickly reflect upon my own life (my entire life). What first comes to thought is the book, The Elephant in The Room by Eviatar Zerubavel. Lincoln’s elephant was his life developed tact (which I term his Americanism), and how that lived tact flourished to it’s fullest purposes (regardless of all else, it seems at times). The fact that others ignore or are in denial of the elephant, doesn’t diminish from their effort, as far as Lincoln is concerned. Seeming through his actions alone, accepting them as the persons that they are, as they introduce themselves, as they follow through with their corresponding actions. Still isn’t reason for him to alter any aspect of his life, as lived. Their appreciation of his life development, criticized by them with expression of his leadership abilities, his simple minded ways and thoughts, his inability to choose worthy persons (from his wife to generals), his gullible nature, awkward stance, and peculiar essences. With all of their comments/thoughts/critics, he did by action alone, let them and their expression be, as they should be: VALID. Seeming this is the United States of America, and their opinions are guaranteed through the INDIVIDUALISM of our LIBERTY. Very well tact, Mr. Lincoln was.

I at this point in my life, having be so tolerable and accepting of much, cannot and will not alter, what is already developed. Some still criticize me for being gullible in nature when it comes to all of those I seem to so easily let drift into my life: which results in various attempts of mayhem. I’m ok with that, knowing that it is of my intent to never prevent another from expressing themselves as they attempt to explain or correct what they perceive. Humiliation is insignificant, when principles of expression, individualism, liberty and justice are in question.

I chose to only express my ordeal over the internet. That is my intended thought, by which much criticism is obtain by using such a limiting (as some may perceive) medium to deal with something that is personable. But then I have always admire those who push their freedoms and agendas, seeming it is through those actions that they become LEDGENDARY in the minds of those of the future. All events on the various blogs and social networks are my expression of events that occurred from 11/2012-06/2013 and have trickled down to a revolt of standards of the SCR. No event is without causation. No causation exist upon its own existences. In this social (SCR) reality, we are a social people, and all actions done upon one, eventually effects the entire. Thus Onward with my Default/Revolt.

Also in the spirit of all that has been expressed by me in this posting. I would like to give some credit to a great church/organizational program. Whereby I needed some “pray” for motivation, and I got a daily bread tract plus note in a purple envelope (scan posting to follow soon). I received this purple envelope on 9/28/2014 when I, going through the dull routine events of my REVOLT in Phoenix (again, explanation posting to come). The result of one of these dull events is complete dehydration and energy lost due to no food. I went their and got a lunch sack. There was a purple envelope that stated in a note, Romans 15:13 and a personal note (daily bread) stating, “I am praying that you will see God’s Blessings today”. Which I did, as I read the tract included and it Romans 3:23:6:23. Thank You CHURCH ON THE STREET for being and providing that “pray” I needed 10/13/2014, when I finally opened the envelope and read it.

ENLARGING THE AMERICAN MELTING POT IDEOLOGY: With new concepts of sensory receptions (coherence, frequency, sixth sense reception)

Considering the fate of our great nation. I find great comfort in the work of Napoleon Hills work, Think Rich-Grow Rich. Although the books emphasis is personal financial growth. Along with the history and behavioral patterns of America’s greatest kings of empires. The book also provides a deeper understanding of self attainment within a social realm of existence. Hill provides several theories, that can be utilized in the self empowerment of an individual. The primary factor of this empowerment is derived from an individual capability to perceiver the reality of the environment.

Perception of the environment is obtained through sensory reception, of which Hill adds a 6th sense reception. Hill states the 6th sense reception as:

“…The reality of the sixth sense has been fairly well established. This sixth sense is creative imagination…the faculty of creative imagination is the direct link between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence. All so-called revelations, referred to in the realm of religion, and all discoveries of basic or new principles in the field of invention, takes place through the faculty of creative imagination…when brain action has been stimulated, through one or more of the ten min d stimulants, it has the effect of lifting the individual far above the horizon of ordinary thought an d permits him to envision distances, scope, and quality of thoughts not available on the lower plane…while on the higher level of thought, the individual is not hampered or bound by any of the stimuli which circumscribe and limit his vision…(Hill, pg178-180).

It is with this sixth sense that many great events in our American life have occurred and will continue to occur. From Hills work, I have contributed other theories and works, which provide insight into the need of collective empowerment.  Theories such as Rollin McCarthy’s Global Coherence, point to the collective frequency energy, by which individuals emotional state of mind, impact the environment etc. There’s an advantage of this collective energy, which propels human efforts for the purpose of balance within the environment of nature. We become synched with the universe and at that point of existence, we empower ourselves in great measures. Hill provides an excellent example, take directly from our American history, whereby two individuals actions channeled to the formation of 56 individuals, which lead to the events of 1776.

Today we face a world, where by all may not embrace our Americanism. We are constantly reminded of this world reality, with terrorism. At the same time our nation faces an interesting dilemma regarding immigration. In many of my prior post, my overall opinion is that the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, must enlarge the melting pot, by which we salvage our liberty, freedom and existence. The following link, provide a vivid explanation for thought, by which our future is railing towards us rapidly. I am impress with President Obama and his administrations, current immigration reform, by which such features as.  Providing new tools for applicants of citizenship, Improving Refugee programs, staple green cards for STEM programs, and more importantly increase the cap of tourist per nations and investment opportunities.

The first link is Introduction of the Amero. This details the work of Jason Kirby, The Amero vs. The Dollar. This explains our the value of our money and future of Americans monetary system, as some try to default the dollar to replace it with the Amero. https://paulgoree.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/introduction-of-the-american-amero/

The second link details Jerome Corsi’s work regarding creation of the North American Union. Coris, suggests that this union is reason to explain the US’s delay in securing the nations boarders. Others have commented, that this lack of security could lead to legal issues state to executive/congress. http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/45131/

The third link details the most current details of President Obama’s Immigration Reform. http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/immigration/streamlining-immigration .  As stated above I like our Presidents and his administration course of thought. I see the need to expand the American experience through the efforts of increase tourism, visas, citizenship and investment opportunities here in the USA. With this forward actions, it seems difficult for NAU plans to materialize. As our nation enlarges it’s melting pot, the need to unify is not as much as necessity. Currently bi-national exploration programs, such as Cali-Baja ( http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2014/08/cali-baja-venture.html) seems to be a more executable course of action. By which our nation economically create districts of industry/economic cooperation.

We Will Get There-Easily Mislead (uhm Paul Goree )

First thing first, the images and story of this video is sincere and still part of my desires-should I strike it rich. But using sociopsychology. The entire video I made was just to learn how to obtain the impossible from thought. Reading Napoleon Hill, Basha and Wayne Dyer. It’s amazing what thought can manifest in the real world consciousness. So the ideal is to think of the impossible (for me that would be to win $100,000,000.00 dollars from the Arizona lottery). Then imagine all the thing you would do with the impossible thought you had. (For me that is all depicted in the video, as I would finish school (BSW/MSW-JD), open a non-profit agency and begin helping the world be a better place. By providing resources and referrals; that combat Maslow’s lower level of social survival needs (water, food, shelter, security and safety). Well pop the imagination bubble and realize the odds of the impossible thought you had, might not come true. But what can happen, is that all the things you imagined you would do, can happen-if you apply yourself. This is why day dreaming is benefits the conscious reality.

Unbelievably I have to question the source of this song. I got the song from a Madonna YouTube video (I went to watch Hung Up-and this played instead). I believe the laptop was phished on. So I downloaded a capturing device and captured this song. Now no such song by a band titled Easily Mislead can be found, uhmmmm!!! Could this be proof that since I first arrived in Phoenix (9/2011), I was being tagged, phished on my laptop, and followed (for what who knows, who cares-why give credit to those wanting it. My latest Facebook post credited Young Jeezy with Trap In California. But for me I’m Trapped In Phoenix…”son now that I know that you’ve been trapped. You wanna perform now, but they hold ya back-to face consequences, on what you did on some bullshit!!!…) nevertheless, it proves several things to me today. Never let something mal or others remove from you the essences of your soul. Like I have stated, all the things visualized in this video can occur within my lifetime.

I also learned negative rhetoric is often given regarding capturing devices and copyright violations on the internet. However, I have always seen the internet as a means to document my interest. If someone phishes my laptop (they are the one’s violating internet laws, in their attempt to mislead) capturing devices, etc. can help provide evidence later after the fact.

K.C.M.O.-Abduction: Christian Cults

K.C.M.O.-Abduction: Christian Cults

During the summer of 1995, I was traveling through Kansas City Missouri. I decided to apply for a job opportunity at a leading telecommunication company. The hiring process of this company, required a minimum of 4 weeks before a decision would be made. So for 4 weeks, I lived and took on temporary assignments through- out K.C.M.O, as I waited to be hired at the telecommunications company.

It was incredible doing temp work in that great city. An amazing small business environment-with diverse growth within various industry. Something liking to the “All American Dream” of effort, individuality and liberty resulting in ones desires. I had just left the University of New Mexico, had the opportunity to utilize all the sociological skills, I had acquired. I was deeply interested and concerned with working class America and the future of working class America, pertaining to poverty. One of these assignments that fueled my social conflict interest, was with a regional automotive parts distributor.

I recall the CEO of this company, informing me of the future outlook of not only his company, but many of America’s mom and pop businesses. Like him, I saw huge Pac-Man eating giants, ruining the base of America’s small business. The feelings expressed from him, carried with me as I continued to temp through -out the city.

The week-end of the 2 week, I spent the day relaxing in Penn Valley Park. I looked over to see two young people playing bongo drums. They noticed me and approached me. They introduced themselves and asked me if I knew of Jesus. My initial thought was, “Wow look at these two hippie Christian drum players!!!” I informed them, that I loved my friend/our friend Jesus. Our conversation went on to joyfully discuss Jesus and what I termed Jesus Love. They were interested in why I was in K.C.M.O.

I explained the job I was being interviewed for and the waiting process. They then told me about where they live and work. From Penn Valley Park, they point to an older high rise building. They suggested that I should come with them to this building. The building was a Christian owned center, where by several jobs were available, living opportunities and faith fellowship. I informed them that I was only interested in the telecommunication job I had already invested time and interest in. They then stated, “that it is a great thing, that Christian organizations like the one they belong to, has the tools and access to offer other Christians opportunities to bolster their faith. If things didn’t work out for me at the telecommunications company, I really should look into their organization. “ They assured me that I could continue my educational studies and even develop my own job within the organization.But something about their re-assurance didn’t feel right. It almost felt as if they were pushing me to forget about any other occupational desires: and become 100% devoted to the organization which they belonged to.

Week 3, I accepted another temp job at a legal firm. I alone with 3 other persons, were going to be working for a week, in one this legal firms archives warehouse. We were paired up and basically verified file boxes as we re-labeled them and then restocked them. The person I was teamed with, was amazing. He was full of faith and always made references to his life savior Jesus Christ. We developed a good rapture, discussing everything from music to Jesus/faith. Mid-week he invited me to have lunch with him and his fiancé. Before we went out for lunch we stopped by their apartment. She was a nurse and had to pick up something quickly.

While at their apartment, I noticed what seemed to be modeling composite card. I asked her was she the model. She informed me that she was. I had seen several modeling composite cards, which all seemed similar. But something about this composite card was so different. I was dazed looking at it, trying to figure out what was so faintly familiar. She asked me, what it was I was thinking. I responded, “I trying to figure this picture out, something about it, I don’t know…something about it is different than all the other composite cards I’ve seen…it feels different and the background and props are completely different…I don’t know – it feels and seems divine in a way.”

She smiled and took the photo and placed back on the table and suggested we leave. We picked up lunch at a Chinese restaurant and ate it at the hospital where she worked. After lunch me and her fiancé returned to our jobs. We arrived back in the warehouse around 1:00pm and went straight to work. The team that was opposite us (who usually made comments about us, always finishing our row first) were even with us at that point. As we started to work I started to feel a little nausea (stomach issues); I was thinking maybe it was the lunch-maybe the heat. Nonetheless I went back to work.

Next thing I remember is pulling a box towards me, like I had done all week. I looked over to see the team across from me, and they were nearly finished. I was lost in confusion, wondering what had happen. I looked at my watch and it was now 3:30pm. I asked my team partner what had happen. “Did I pass out or something? Why are we still in the second row? How did they past us? What happen?” He stood there and shifted his shoulders, nodding with a look of “I Don’t Know?” This made me even more confused. How could he not know what had happen. Nearly 2 and a half hours had past, and he couldn’t explain what had happen. We continued to work, and I simply let it reside for that moment.

When I got home, I searched my mind for a possible explanation. I keep refraining from the obvious, because it seemed so impossible. Could the bongo hippie playing Christians and the Nurse/co-worker all be connected. Where they some part of a Christian organization, something of which I didn’t know how I felt about (at the time). I had heard of such organization and 2 prior had experience such followers. But for this particular moment, in this city and state, for some reason, I felt I had be abducted.

This abduction wasn’t alien/space or anything of that type. I felt that my team partner knew more than he was revealing. And that my comment to his fiancé about her modeling composite was truer than I could ever believe. I immediately thought about the drum making-playing hippie Christians I had met. I immediately also thought about some of my UNM studies, where by faith based collective groups were very real.

When I was at UNM, I went to Waco, Texas for an academic conference at Baylor University. While there, we took an excursion to the burnt remains of the Branch Davidians compound. While on the excursion we came across a large group of protesters. They informed us that they were Extreme Christians and that they had assembled from around the nations in Waco, Texas to protest against the FBI’s involvement with what occurred at the Branch Davidian Compound. They informed us that they needed to be presence at this event, seeming the FBI was doing PR retouch to minimize the event to the nation.

They knew we as students would be attending the PR event (which we did) and they wanted to make sure that all of those who would be able to attended the PR event, understood that this nation cannot allow centralized government to murder/attack/burn it’s citizen. This nation needed to remember Separation of Religion and State.

Today I look back on all of this. It still plagues me, as I have experienced stranger events till this day. The thought of Christian Cults still compound me with misunderstanding of my faith and it’s practice within the social environment. Listed below are some web-site regarding Christian Cults and Faith in the United States of America.

False Life Insurance : Yahoo Answer Community 2007

8/7/2014
Back in 2007 I asked the Yahoo Answer Community the following question.

Life Insurance Question?
What can you do, if someone gets a Life Insurance Policy in your name without your permission? Are all policies payable? How can you contact Insurance Agencies to let them know?

here are some of the replies.

Best AnswerAsker’s Choice

mbrcatz answered 7 years ago
You contact that insurance company, and tell them someone forged your signature and impersonated you when they took the blood samples. You then contact your state insurance commissioner for the same. Then you file charges against the policy owner.

AGENCIES have nothing to do with it. They can’t do a blessed thing. Policies are payable unless they are cancelled. You need to contact the company that wrote the policy, and your state insurance department fraud unit.

KIDD3422 answered 7 years ago
One should not be able to get a life insurance policy in your name without your permission. Contact the company and ask them what you have to do to get it canceled.

Mark S answered 7 years ago
This CANNOT happen!!!! Period!!! End of statement.
Life insurance is a contract and all persons who are subject to that contract HAVE TO/ MUST sign the papers.

After researching further, I found out that indeed these types of false Life Insurance scams go on. Back in 2007 Helen Golay 76, and Olga Rutterschmidt 74, allegedly took out several life insurance policies on Paul Vados 73, and Kenneth McDavid 50, then killed them by running over them with a car. See article at

http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/olga-rutterschmidt or

http://lapdblog.typepad.com/lapd_blog/2006/05/page/2/ (may 19, 2007).

If you are concerned like I was, that this could happen to you, then as stated by mbrcatz on Yahoo Answers, you should contact your State Insurance Commissioner and let them know, that you believe someone maybe trying to place a future false claim against you. I was informed to provide the name of the all possible legitimate person who might fail a claim. Supposedly the State Insurance Commissioner notifies enforcement, insurance companies and all interested parties: if questionable claims are made. Is this being paranoid, well for me, I was thinking it’s better to be safe. Besides the ideal of someone involved with my death, collecting money is repulsive! So I’d rather be considered paranoid, but I’m really just be cautious.

SAME DAY MAN

Something I wrote back in 2009: Still applies to me today, expect more adversaries (external and No Mass).

SAME DAY MAN
By: Paul DeWitt Goree copyright 08/09 PDG LVNV

You’ll never find me, at local discotheques after hours
There’s days, time subsisted and lived: is a crime, just like dictating worth, with paper dollars
“Oh Thou be in search to find, what’s lost, the social scars are so revealing, with life too uneasy.
You see I played that game, and drove myself insane.
Got an addiction to, falsifies never understood.
The boy next door who use to walk your dog
Got lost as the story goes! Where at, it’s yet revealed.
Yes, that boy next door, imprudent, jester ,lurch around , 2nd person “HEY HEY IT’S ME”
Got rapt, sunk in, by a trick bagger, some wounds are self commenced. Yet on the other side of LUCK – Energy is best, released…

Chorus:
I’m the same day man that I use to be
Same day man, that I use to be
Same day man, that I use to be
I’m not unmasked to fool
I’m the same day man…

So ask your questions, to whoever’s paying by the hour
The space of 7th degree, is something I really can’t afford to.
And so it’s good for you, the aerials are controlling, every hour.
With spirits free, , it’s manifest’s burning – “No Social Disrespect-No Revolution is to follow!!!”
You see I slapped that cuff off, step from the “Looking Glass”, feels good to breath at last.
I’m that same day boy, sparked with a tactful smile, so proud to crawl and fail, integrity worn proud.

Repeat Chorus:

BRIDGE:
Next time for sure, don iron shoes, them others kind are too unkind (and hurt your feet)
A barefoot boy, grown into to a man,, not in a beggar suit, this is the HOBO VOGUE (roam, it’s prudent, live and learn it, do it)
You can only be, to be beat, believe, there is no earthly undone deed
You get to see, seed, succeed, life is ENERGY concurring matter, feeds.
Keep to the dance, don’t stop the dance,!
Keep on willing to believe…don’t stop the dance.

Chorus:
You see I still the same day man that I use to be
Same day man that I use to be
Same day man that I’ll always be
I’m not too remote peculiar…I’M THE SAME DAY MAN
(as yesterday, and tomorrow day, and all the days that never go away)

Onward-DE MON FAIRE

ONWARD – De Mon Faire
By: Paul Dewit Goree 8/7/2014 (PHX wave conclusion 8/2014)

(DE MON FAIRE = Of My Maneuvering. knowing that I am maneuvering nothing and God maneuvers all.)

Gone are the feelings, the mislead urges
Denied, keeping me hungry forever
Washed in the tide an insipid star
The star you stole and deprived me

Gone are excuses, the lingering fuel
Of a life mistake, dooming a forward tread
With nothing from nothing, growth with nothing done
It’s seems life has a power, a power of its’ own

CHORUS
What I’m not understanding ,
Is now divinely synched automatic
Within the valley , I feel myself
Looking down up from a peak
Knowing that distances and time
Lay ahead, and so must I
All of the past rest assured
Becomes the strength as I venture on…
On, on, on, on ONWARD, on, on, on, ONWARD!

Gone are the systems of error default
The people expectations lost, now that I
Contest, and demand the equivalent
Manipulation disentangles, no negative energy resides

Gone are the ambitions, of collective worth
Pushing aside, all my De Mon Faire
Reversing decisions, displaced within myself
I find it easier to say “Jesus Love” and let others find their way

Individual Perspective: You Believe What You Want To!!!

Michael Shermer stated, “…We form our beliefs for a variety of subjective, personal, emotional, and psychological reasons in the context of environments created by family, friends, colleagues, culture, and society at large; after forming our beliefs we then defend, justify, and rationalize them with a host of intellectual reasons, cogent arguments, and rational explanations. Beliefs come first, explanations for beliefs follow…”(The Believing Brain).

This defines two patterns of human behavior, when individuals are engaged in the social macro and natural environment. Patternicity is defined as: finding meaningful patterns in both meaningful and meaningless data. Agenticity: infusing patterns with meaning, intention, and agency.

For me things get even more interesting when one considered Synchronicity. Synchronicity as described by Carl Jung is, “acausal connection of two or more psycho-physic phenomena..”(carl-jung.net). whereas coincidences are mere collations of interactions, accident or deliberate intention: Synchronicity is the sub-conscious and conscious mind, toggling meaningful patterns of the living experience. If one is able to focus and retain these toggled patterns in a timely manner, they can predict (by simple explanation of the events as they occur) future outcomes or future events. Example is “Wreck of the Titan” by Morgan Robertson was written in 1898, and 14 years before the Titanic sank in 1912.

The Cali Baja Venture

Recently (June 10, 2014) David Brat (Virginia’s 7th congressional district) defeated Eric Cantor, former House Majority Lead. While celebrating his victory, Brat pointed out the primary factor fueling his success, was his not so lenient regards towards immigration. Brat has been quoted as having a no amnesty ideology, and will create major implications for Obama’s Immigration over-haul aspirations. While immigration continues to play a deleterious role in American political rectitude, a more optimistic decorum is becoming a reality after 6 years of global legislation. The Cali Baja Mega Region Initiative is an unrivaled challenge, making the current political ills of immigration seem antediluvian.

The Cali Baja Mega Region started in 2008. It was in 2008 that the Economic Development Administration (EDA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, awarded San Diego Regional EDC and the Imperial Valley EDC a grant worth $225,000 to develop a bi-national strategy. As a result of that grant, a successful collaboration of San Diego County, Imperial County and the Mexican municipality of Baja California, came into existence. They termed their joint venture The Cali Baja Bi-National Mega Region Initiative. It is divided into 6 regional development agencies, which collectively is the root of the organization. The 6 development agencies are:

1.) San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
2.) Imperial County Economic Development Corp.
3.) Tijuana Economic Development Corp.
4.) Ensenada Economic Development Corp.
5.) Industrial Development Commission of Mexicali
6.) Economic Promotion Commission of Tecate

In addition, the Cali Baja bi-national strategy included the opportunity for stakeholder investors and founding sponsors, which include AT&T, Bank of America, San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG), San Diego State University, EW Corporation, Hargreaves and Savitch, Wal-Mart Foundation, Kyocera, Procopio and others.

The new Cali Baja region is 29,000 square miles, about the size of Maine. The infrastructure includes 6 border crossings, 5 interstate freeways, 5 international airports 2 maritime ports with linked rail. These structural advantages are minute in comparison to the business and socio-political opportunities Cali Baja will create. Cali Baja is presumed to be the metropolis of the future when it comes to technology. Each of the 6 geographic entities specializing in innovative commerce. It’s often compared to Hong Kong positive non-interventionism; whereby laissez-faire capitalism (Rikkie, 2008) seems to be the decorum of the quasi authority. However unlike Hong Kong, Cali Baja is not and shall not be restricted by exclusive internal and external affairs of any one particular government. Instead free enterprise is the mode of operation. In June 2011 the six regional economic development agencies signed their “Rule of Engagement” which establishes the base rules of their collective effort as, Cali Baja.

The economic advantage of Cali Baja in part is geographic location. But the primary advantage is the industry that this geographic location provides collectively. The region success will be based on solar manufacturing, Biofuel development and manufacturing, work force development, agricultural development. Christina Luhn, director of the Cali Baja Mega Region Initiative, proudly stated, “I confess when I started this project, I believed what I read in the paper—that there wasn’t any manufacturing left in America, that it had all gone overseas. Now we know how wrong that is,” says Luhn. “Globalization has changed the nature of manufacturing and technology…We have an advantage in California, we already have companies, we already have people out there doing a bunch of exciting things-a lot of time they’re just two hours away.”
When considering the collective success to be reaped from the Cali Baja Mega Region, an in depended close look at each region provides ample veracity to Luhn’s statements.

San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
San Diego is a leading hi-tech hub in the United States. By fusing life science, communication, environmental tech and software development, San Diego has become a cutting-edge culture. Its impact on technology focuses on commercialization and research of advance manufacturing within diverse landscapes. The larger portion of this commercialization is in the aerospace/defense, wireless communication systems, digital transmission, reception systems, medical devices and shipbuilding. Another dynamic of San Diego EDC is biotech research done at the University of California San Diego, which has spun 200 biotech corporation, with an estimated $9.2 billion annual revenue generated (U.S. Dept. of Commerce, 2011). Some of the companies that will spring from the San Diego EDC into Cali Baja are: Kyocera, Solar Turbines and UTC.

Imperial County Economic Development Corp
The Imperial Valley is advantageously located near the southern border of San Diego, Arizona and Mexicali’s (the capital of Baja California). The area embodies ideal weather for abundant sunshine, making it a perfect location for solar, wind, and algae biofuel development. The area is also soil rich and agribusiness is strengthen by geographical location to the United States and Mexico. Some of the renewable energy companies that occupy this location are Synthetic Genomics, Pattern Energy, Tenaska and Cal Energy.

Tijuana Economic Development Corp.
Tijuana is a manufacturing headquarter. ‘It represents 47% of jobs generated by the private sector in the city.’ (Tijuana EDC, 2012) With over 6 million resident, 2 deep sea ports and an international airports (General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport) Tijuana provides a comprehensive access and exceptional workforce. There are over 568 manufacturing plants in the Tijuana, which employee over 165,000 workers. Some of the facilities that are subsidiaries of U.S. corporations, South East Asia and European are; Foxconn, Samsung, Sanyo, Phillips, Ossur, Siiken and Gambro.

Ensenada Economic Development Corp.
Ensenada is located 60 miles south of the United States border. It has the highest concentration of foreign industrial manufacturing, and is also focused in Sea Port and mining industries. The advantage point of Ensenada is found in it’s low operation cost, proximity to the United States and Asia, wide selection of local suppliers, technical work force and a population educational profile in engineering and hi-tech sciences. From aerospace engineering to medical devices and textile industries, Ensenada offers ‘the best quality of life in Mexico’s North Western region.”(Ensenada EDC, 2012) Some of the key manufactures in the Ensenada region are 3M, Hutchinson Aerospace, ICU Medical, Ingersol Rand (Schlage), Consolidated Precision Products and Softtek.

Mexicali Commission Development
Mexicali is the state capital of Baja California. The primary benefit is its growing work population within the aerospace, renewable energies, automotive and electric industries. Some of the major international companies that operate in Mexicali are Kellogg’s, DeACERO, Intutitve Surgical and Goodrich Aerospace.

Tecate Commission Economic Promotion
Located east of Tijuana, Tecate is a manufacturing hub, not only for its global beer but also for its leading status in electronics, medical devices, ceramic and plastic industries. Global corporations such as Schlage Lock (Ingersol Rand) and Rockwell operate in Tecate. Tecate host more than 119 manufacturing facilities with Highway 2 offering easy transportation and freight to Otay Mesa Port.

There is an obvious competitive edge for businesses that will operate out of the Cali Baja Mega Region. Most recently German Bosch has reaffirmed its plan to invest 90 million dollars over the next for years (Bosch, 2014). Business success in Mexico can be contributed to the practice of Maquiladoras. Maquiladoras are manufacturing plants, with the parent company administrating from foreign destination like the United States of Germany. Maquiladoras allow business investors to capitalize on the economical labor force and raw materials Mexico has to offer. With business policy like NAFTA and Maquiladoras, Cali Baja when complete (projected 2020), will be the leading high-technology hub in the world. It also will host the largest bi-national workforce providing ample labor for the aerospace, automotive, bio-fuel, commercial electronics and agricultural industries. It is estimated that the demographic statistics will be:

Population = 6.6 million
GDP = $202.4 Billion (USD)
Square Miles = 28, 656
Labor Force = 3.1 Million
Employment = 2.8 Million

In regards to Cali Baja Mega Region, the NPR Marketplace stated, “While Congress debates the need for tighter border security, Tijuana and San Diego want to get beyond the border and work together as a combined economic powerhouse.” (Tyler, 2013) This seems like a sensible assessment, considering one of the 2024 Olympics proposed cities is the Cali-Baja Mega Region. The following YouTube video details some highlights of the Cali Baja Mega Region.

R.E.D.U (Reverse the Environment of Drugs and You) work in progress

R.E.D.U is the acronym for Reverse Environment Drugs and You. It in part is a testimonial of my life of drug usage, which awkwardly began in 1992. Ambitious and unknowledgeable, I was attending Seattle Community College. My goal was to obtain my A.A. and a Q.C.D.C which today are titled CAADAC & NAADAC. Having never used drugs, I found it difficult to counsel others on the matter. However I quickly learned that counseling was not an personal advice effort. But was depended and structured around a practical formula. I unwittingly asked the instructor, “How can I counsel someone on marijuana use, when I have never used marijuana?” I was immediately reminded of the technique we were reviewing in another class on counseling. Well that explanation was enough for me, and so I decided, that we live and learn. And from that day forward, I set out to try all the drugs on the National Institute of Drug, drug chart. The chart consist of the following categories: Prescription Medication, Other Compounds (ex: anabolic steroids), Hallucinogens, Dissociative Drugs (ex: Ketamine), Club Drugs (ex: MDMA), Stimulants, Opioids, Cannabinoids, Alcohol and Tobacco.

From 1992 till 2011, I accomplished my imprudent goal. Today I look back at that self-challenge and am thankful to faith (Yes, I always prayed to GOD to see me through the madness I had positioned myself). I am also thankful to the various instructors, users, and theories regarding drug usage. When I was 18 I sign petition and later voted for ballot measure Assigned Number 692– Sponsors Karen Pehoushek and Mr. Robert Killian- The petition secured 260,335 signatures. The petition was found to have sufficient valid signatures, and appeared on the Nov. 3, 1998, General Election Ballot in the state of Washington. This was the first step towards understanding drugs and politics. From that day forward, I have signed marijuana legislation in every state I have lived in. Even when I discontinued use of marijuana in 2000; I still supported the rights of those who desire it. Today as I look at marijuana dispensaries and Colorado’s general marijuana usage public policy enactment (Amendment 64): I can’t help but think VICTORY!!! But victory in legal usage (marijuana) is the easier portion of drug usage equation. In order to fully have a drug victory, we must look towards innovative education of drugs, intervening programs for control and non-control of usage, and advanced treatment programs that are individually based upon the clients Biopsychosocio-spiritual dynamics.

From 2011 I have reviewed many theories revolving around drug usage and drug addiction. I have participated in some group counseling treatment programs that were successful and some that were not. The difference between the successful ones was they centered around some of the basic 12 Step Recovery Program and were more self determinately based. I am in the process of documenting my personal usage and how I have come to this point, in my reversal of the environment(s) drugs and me. Here are some of the basics of R.E.D.U and theories which are relevant.

Arizona State University 2013

Abstract
This essay will explore James Fowler work titled, Stages of Faith- the Psychology of Human Development: and it’s psychotherapeutic applications, in dealing with individual faith over the course of a life time. In addition, the connotations of spirituality and aging will be examined, as they are presented by Dr. Margaret Waller, in her work The Spiritual Dimension for Assessing Human Functioning. It is from these works that a better understanding of spirituality and its role in a client’s biopsychosocial spiritual profile can be defined and used by social workers.
In this essay I will document a firm foundation of the spiritual dimension and its importance to social practitioner’s life. A compare and contrast of Fowler’s Theory will demonstrate the variance that occurs with a change in variables. This will be accomplished by using the case client study of Carla Washburn, provided by Alice A. Lieberman on the New Directions in Social Work website, http://www.routledgesw.com/. The variables that will be examined will be sex and age.
The intent of this essay, is to demonstrate the role of spirituality in the biopsychosocial spiritual dimension of a client’s assessment profile. It also will provided insightful conclusions by which a social practitioner can evaluate the differences of individual’s behavior, as it is affected by sub-systems and environments.

Keywords: spirituality, aging, stages of faith theory

The Spiritual Dimension of Carla Washburn
The opening of James Fowler’s work, Stages of Faith- The Psychology of Human Development provides intriguing questions Fowler sought to utilize in a workshop on faith. The questions expanded upon the notion of faith and its meaningful purpose in an individual’s life (Fowler, 1995). Fowler states that from the questions he “examined the structure of values, the patterns of love and action, the shape of fear and dread and the directions of hope and friendship in my life” (p.3). Fowler concluded that the entirety of these questions, revolved around faith. With faith we are able to process meaningful life patterns that occur throughout our life (p.4).

Fowler finalized his work, by categorizing 7 stages of spiritual growth an individual will endure. The stages are patterned like Eric Erikson’s, Stages of Psychosocial Development, providing age range and attributed behavior (Walker, n.d.). The stages are:

• Stage 1 Primal-Undifferentiated Faith,
• Stage 2 Intuitive-Projective,
• Stage 3 Mythic –Literal, Stage
• Stage 4 Synthetic-Conventional,
• Stage 5 Individual-Reflective, Stage (my current stage),
• Stage 6 Conjunctive Faith and
• Stage 7 Universalizing Faith- Maslow’s Actualization (Roger, p.316).

These stages define several characteristics Fowler detailed in his work, such as the German word Einbildungskaft: which means “power” (p.24). The stages bring forward two genral concepts: The ideal of faith being “relational” – (concept of a personal relationship with GOD, and how that conveys into our social relationships-family, friends, love, community,etc). (p.16). and  A difference between faith and religion (p.12).

When reviewing the client case study of Carla Washburn, it is evident that these characteristics and stages follow through. Carla Washburn is 76 years old, has type 2 diabetes, occasionally attends church, and is in a grief support group. Carla’s grief is over her grandson who died in Afghanistan. Carla also has lost her son and his wife to a car accident. Although Carla’s grief seems heavy: She seems to have a grasp of Fowler’s understanding of, power, relational and the difference between faith and religion. Carla is in Stage 6 of Fowler’s structural development.

At Stage 6,  Carla seems to be transcending reality beyond emotional duress, by accepting the factors of what is existent. In the grief support group, Carla makes it very clear that she did not want to attend the sessions. But seeming it was a church group (of which she attends church) and seeming that her sister kept insisting: she decided to come. At this point Carla seems to have self-defined the role of the church/religion and faith (Lieberman, 2013). The differentiation of the group being for crisis resolution; and the group being for faithful passage is apparent. The difference can be found in the enjoyment Carla details having with her grandson, compared to Carla disinterest in the groups’ crisis support resolution. She expresses joyfully statements such as, “He even played tea with me…I listened to him…I was there for him and he was there for me”. These statements convey spiritual dynamics which Fowler detailed as “relational” (p. 16). It’s during stage 6,  that the individual “demythologizes” the literal meanings and symbols, creating a self- understanding of faith as it is referenced to spiritual and religion as to church, fellowship, etc. (Exploring Spiritual Development, 2009).

Fowler’s 6 Stage Conjunctive Faith, is also represented by Carla’s ability to overcome adversity and having meaning and purpose. This could be seen in Carla’s dialogue with Beverly about her son who died of an over dosage. Beverly is insistent that her son’s girlfriend is an intervening problem and cause of his death. Carla express sternly dialogue, for Beverly to come to terms of her son, as he really was and his responsibility to himself. She is not advising Beverly, but simply pointing out the conjunctive and non-conjunctive aspects of what is real!  Carla explains the difference of Beverly’s son, who died of an over dosage as being a completely different ordeal than her grandson who died honorably in the UNITED STATES ARMY. Her grandson died honorably-with respect of his responsibilities. Thus she doesn’t feel it necessary to conventional grieve. She is proud of her grandson and the abundance of love she provided to him as a child, comforts her now. Whereas Beverly son, died of irresponsibility of substance usage. That is why you are grieving. Beverly needs to accept the reality of the difference and the reality of her sons, actions. Which are separate from the emotional associations, which sometimes are tied to symbols and formalized patterns of behavior.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST VARIABLE :

If Carla were a 20 year old caucasian male, then the characteristics of her behavior (essences) would be different according to Fowler’s Stages. Carla as Carl, would be in Stage 4 Synthetic Conventional . Fowler states that such individuals, are in a stage of anxiety aroused by responsibility of religious freedom. The individual may be angst with the complexity of faith, as they question conflicts which arise in their life against faith. As Carl, Carla might ask common emotional questions such as, “Why did her grandson had to die? Why did her son have to die in the auto accident? How can God be so good, yet create so much pain with death?” (Exploring Spiritual Development, 2009).

When approaching Carl, Fowler’s Stage development provides a social practitioner with helpful cues. For example at Stage 4, using strength developing techniques, allows the client to be self-determinant. This could assist Carl with increase awareness of his beliefs and their roots, making this reflective period more effective. However using that same approach with Carla at Stage 5 would not be as effective. At stage 5 Individual-Reflective,  it would be effective to utilize techniques that emphasized relationship, “I-Thou relationships” (Berk, 2010). At Stage 5 an individual is more confident in their faith and thus not in need of reaffirmation of what they have conceived as faith.

For Profit Industry Challenge Social Service Industry: Which is More Effective and Empowering When Dealing With Clients

For the life of me, I will never understand why two “professional” case workers, simply refused to intervene. For 8 months they allowed the most unconventional behavior to occur. They allowed lives to be reshaped and destroyed. And although it was not entirely upon them to control: It was their responsibility as case managers to assist, guide, encourage and intervene. These two case managers (Margret Finn and Johnny Garcia of South West Behavioral Services) are detailed in a series of posting titled; Person-Environment: Case Manager Neglect. The series questions the ethical obligation of case managers. And points out the importance of that obligation. From personal experience I can attest that had these two case managers been more ethical and concerned, lives would have turned out better. Instead a chaotic environment imploded, which has ripped into the lives of others (especially mines). For while under their supervision, I was attending ASU, working towards my BSW/MSW. Not one day went by in some of my ASU social work classes, where we were not informed of the importance of Professional ETHICS. A portion of those ethics are specific to client services. And seeming this is the social service industry. It would be expected that case managers strived to provide an environment by which a client (regardless of their crisis) could feel SELF DETERMINED and EMPOWERED. However the opposite is what occurred, regarding me and the two “professional” case managers.

These two case managers have left me to believe that their neglected actions would be the same within the society. From not yelling fire in a theater, to avoiding interning on behave of a child in need. They as case managers are obligated to intervene, in regards to their clients and society in general. If drug activity is among their clients, then they are obligated to intervene. If mental disturbances and crisis management is needed by their clients, they are obligated to intervene. But these two case managers simple sat back and watched as 8 months of torment occurred. Finally they did what should had been done in the first month (11/2012) they provided a separation intervention. Since that intervention, which resulted in homeless again for me, I have expressed my thoughts through conventional grievance, but to no avail. I still express my thoughts on this blog and other social networks (especially Social Worker Blogs) seeming I need to have professionalism validated by others, than the two hypercritics currently still employed. It is so important to me that all citizens express their discontent when dealing with “professional of society”. They must be held accountable, hence is why they have their academic paper work and license to practice social welfare: and I never will.

Last week I came across an interesting article in Bloomberg Businessweek title, ‘GOLDMAN BETS ON CUTTING CRIME’. The article was written by Esme E. Deprez and details the investment interest of Goldman Sachs with the city of Boston. Boston high crime rate and even higher recidivism prompted Goldman Sachs executives to analyze the circumstance and determine if they could effectively administrate Boston’s crime, resulting in a lower recidivism and an empowered prior “criminal” who would be integrated successfully into society! Well Goldman Sachs won the bet. And by winning the bet, executives are considering using the Boston model in other cities across the nation. They also are analyzing utilizing similar strategies for homelessness and social services. In the article, Deprez details the Goldman Sachs investment with a non-profit organization ROCA. ROCA objective for the past 26 years has been to transition young male criminals from the streets into the “legitimate economy”. This is encouraging self-determination and empowering a client. Not what occurred at South West Behavioral Service (yes, a few represent and ruin the majority).

Future Telepathy Communication (Intra Body Communication-Emotional Communication) (work in progress by Paul Dewitt Goree)

Future Telepathy Communication (Intra Body Communication-Emotional Communication) (work in progress by Paul Dewitt Goree) May 2014

Inventor Zhong Lin Wang has created the nano-generator. The 1 millimeter thick generator converts mechanical energy into electricity. Mechanical energy is energy derived from motion ( ex. walking, jostling, etc.). The mechanics of the nano-generator are fueled by two layers of plastic, separated by a gap and connected by a metal wire. When rubbed together, they take on the opposite charges. Continued rubbing causes electrons to flow across the gap towards the positive pole-creating a current along the wire, which can charge a battery. The nano-generator can produce 500 watts per square meter. Wang believes that commercial products should hit the market by 2018. Products like shoe lining soles would have the ability to generate energy to be used by intra body communication devices.
Meanwhile at the University of Washington, Babak Parviz has developed a prototype lens with a radio receiver in it. This lens is enabled to receive data and display it within the eyes. The lens converts electronic signals into projected images, making the images visible to the eyes (Belfiore , 2010). Devices like Parviz’s radio lens receiver would require nano-generated energy.
Intra-communication is when the body is used as a signal transmitter. When signals pass through the human body interference from Electromagnetic energy have little influence on the transmission, due to the skin. Intra body communication (especially Wave Guide) has a better communication quality than Bluetooth and operates similar.

Intra-body communication is divided into 3 types.
1) The simple circuit = the body is treated as a conductor. (ex. body fat meters or EKG): Requires a wire to the external body.
2) Electrostatic coupling = requires wires that are grounded. Transmission quality dependent upon surrounding environment
3) wave guide = body is treated as a wave guide with high frequency EMF waves generated from within the body (sending terminal) and received outside the body at a receiving terminal. External wires are not need and wave guiding is not dependent upon environment.

Many of the new intra body communication devices use the wave guide communication process. Whereby a signal is sent from the body (generated within the body) and sent to an external terminal, where a computer translate the signal.

STD DISCLOSURE and INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

STD DISCLOSURE and INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

(by: Paul D. Goree 2014 PHXAZ)

 

In our advance society, it is sometime believed that technology has the capability to resolve all our societal problems. We look to technology as the answer of our deeds. A co-dependence upon technology especially that within the medical field, can be a huge danger: as some unwillingly response to social medical threats, casually. This is particularly true of STD (Sexual Transmitted Diseases).  STD’s are just as dangerous and transmittable as in the past. Although medical pharmaceutical advances has help maintain and cure, many STD’s. A great threat of transmission still exist. Not all STD’s are curable. STD’s such as HIV, Syphilis, HPV, herpes simplex, and hepatitis C are a few STD’s that are not curable, with high infection rates.

 

When considering incurable STD’s such as HIV and Hepatitis C; it is equally important to consider the state legal statues that criminalize the transmission of these diseases between people. Many states have criminalize statues that range in the penalties imposed by the act.

In the state of Arizona, the law does not explicitly criminalize transmitting STD’s, nor does it specifically address exposing someone to such a disease. Arizona law specifically states that in order to be convicted of an STD crime you must knowingly expose someone else to an infectious or contagious disease. The Arizona criminal STD law also requires that you exposure to a contagious or infectious disease must occur in a public place or thoroughfare. If the exposure takes place in a private setting and does not expose the public to danger no crime has been committed.

California Health and Safety Code states that “any person who exposes another to HIV by engaging in unprotected sexual activity (anal or vaginal intercourse without a condom), when the infected person knows at the time of the unprotected sex that he or she is infected with HIV, has not disclosed his or her HIV-positive status, and acts with the specific intent to infect the other person with HIV, is guilty of a felony.” The law clarifies that “a person’s knowledge of his or her HIV-positive status, without additional evidence, is not sufficient to prove specific intent.”

Michigan law criminalizes nondisclosure, stating that if a person has been diagnosed with HIV and knows that he or she is infected and “engages in sexual penetration with another person without having first informed the other person that he or she has acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related complex or is HIV infected, is guilty of a felony.”

In Alabama (code 22-11A21), not disclosing STD’s and engaging in sexual activities whereby exposure or transmission occurs; is a Class C misdemeanor.

In Georgia, A person with knowledge that he/she is HIV positive who knowingly 1) engages in sexual intercourse or any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another person without prior disclosure of HIV status 2) shares hypodermic needles 3) offers or consents to perform sexual intercourse with another person for money without disclosing HIVstatus 4) solicits another person to perform  submit to an act of sodomy without disclosure of HIV status 5) donates blood, blood products, other body fluids, or any body organ or body part without disclosing HIV status to the person drawing blood or collecting body parts or fluid, is guilty of a felony.

In Illinois, Any person knowing that he/she is HIV positive who 1) engages in intimate contact  another, 2) transfers, donates or provides his or her blood, tissue, semen, organs, or other potentially infectious body fluids for transfusion, transplantation, insemination or other administration to another, 3) dispenses, delivers, exchanges, sells or in any other way transfers to another any non-sterile intravenous or intramuscular drug paraphernalia, is guilty of a felony.

 In Nevada, A person who has received actual notice that he/she tested positive for HIV and intentionally, knowingly or willfully engages in conduct that is intended or likely to transmit the disease to another person is guilty of a class B felony. A person who works as a prostitute who tests positive for HIV and continues to engage in prostitution is guilty of a Category B felony.  Affirmative defense when other person knew of infection, knew exposure could result and consented.

 In Texas, the following case sums up the disclosure laws. Weeks v. State (1992, Tex App Eastland) 834 SW2d 559, petition for discretionary review ref (Oct 14, 1992) (Upholding attempted murder conviction of HIV positive defendant who spat twice in face of prison guard was supported by evidence where record showed that (1) defendant knew he was HIV positive, (2) defendant had stated that he was going to take as many with him as he could, (3) defendant believed that he could kill victim by spitting on him, and (4) experts had not entirely ruled out possibility of transmitting HIV through saliva.).

 In Washington, A person is guilty of assault in the first degree if he or she, with intent to inflict great bodily harm, administers, exposes, or transmits to another the human immunodeficiency virus.

 Katie E. Mosack and  Julianne M. Serovich, recent journal article-REASONS FOR HIV DISCLOSURE OR NON-DISCLOSURE TO CAUSAL SEXUAL PARTNERS. Their work details the individual responsibility of the person infected and the person not infected. It suggest that with our modern medical advancement, the rational behind disclosure is altered.  Mosack and Serovich state:

“…For example, some evidence suggests that many feel invulnerable to the risk of HIV infection (Ferguson & Frankis, 2001; Misovich, Fisher, & Fisher, 1999). This, in turn, may affect the attention paid to safer sexual behaviors. Diminishing the spread of HIV is clearly an important public health matter, and understanding sexual relationships, especially of gay men, is one pivotal aspect of HIV prevention efforts. An important phenomenon related to male sexual behavior that has been only minimally investigated is disclosure of HIV status to casual sexual partners. Such disclosure is important because it permits partners to be included in the decision-making process in either allowing or not allowing unsafe behavior to occur. Additionally, early diagnosis of HIV infection in asymptomatic individuals is increasingly important because it allows those exposed to make choices about their own testing and risky behaviors. Do HIV-positive gay men share their serostatus with sexual partners? Rates of reported disclosure have varied and in some studies, rates have been remarkably low. For example, although Hays et al. (1993) reported 98% of their sample disclosed to lovers/partners, other studies have reported disclosure rates to sexual partners of 89% (Schnell et al., 1992)… For example, researchers have reported the likelihood of disclosure decreased in direct proportion to the number of partners (Marks et al., 1991). Similarly, Perry et al. (1994) reported individuals were less likely to inform casual partners than steady partners of their HIV status. Such research is important in order to assess the rate of disclosure among sexual partners. This research has indicated that there may be an important lapse in disclosure to casual sexual partners.”

FARRAKHAN’s Message of The Self Determinate African American in the 21’st Century: EXODUS (Reversal of the Great Trans-Atlantic Slavery Incident)

In honor of African American History Month: I am re-posting Farrakhan’s Tuskegee Speech, which includes many historical points of interest from Brooker T. Washington to Marcus Garvey. Also included in the original post, was a historical look at the year 1606 and how equal rights for contract workers: turned into slavery for African Americans. I hope all African Americans learn something new this month, about our ethnic legacy.

RE-POST:
Thinking about the 18th anniversary of the Million Man March, thousands of people gathered in Tuskegee Square on October 20, 2013. In regards to the entire speech, three thoughts flowed through my mind: First, Self Determination. Ish¬mael Muham¬mad, stated much about Booker T. Washington’s self-help ideology. Which for me, translated to, self- determination. The second thing that came to mind, was how many times does a group of people have to express to the world; A declaration to the world of its oppression. This is especially hard for African Americans, seeming our Declaration to the world, was an event the world part took in. Thus their acknowledgement of our struggle is known, by their historic participation. Thus no more DECLARATION OF OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN EXISTENCES: The third thing that came to mind, was the ending of Ish¬mael Muham¬mad speech, he mentioned several key African American successes of character. One of those mentioned was Marcus Garvey. I caught my breath! I wondered how many African Americans, got from Ish¬mael Muham¬mad, what I got: first it’s time to be self- determinate, second: too many declarations of oppression have gone unanswered and third, Marcus Garvey. For those who don’t know, between 1928 – 1938, Garvey presented the Petition of the Negro Race. This petition outlined the worldwide abuse of Africans and called for Federal legislation to “repatriate” African Americans to Africa. The bill was part of Garvey’s co-operation with Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo and Earnest Sevier Cox. Both Bilbo and Cox’s were segregationist and white supremacy and sought to support Garvey’s repatriations ideals. The plan was for 12 million African Americans to move to Libya, as part of economic relieve and the FDR New Deal regarding unemployment (Morgan, C. pg 248)

In his Saviours’ Day speech, February 24, 2013. Farrakhan encouraged ideology by which African Americans can avoid economic disparity. The ideology focused on land ownership, less spending and collective donation funds. Farrakhan’s ‘Economic Blueprint’ options potential donators to donate .35 cent a week (.5 cent a day) to a collective fund, which incurs interest and will be used to purchase machinery, tools, and land for our self-determinate economic security (economicblueprint.org). Economic blueprint is the beginning of a long attempt of Farrakhan and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to open the eyes of African Americans in a collective effort. In a letter to Dr. Martin Luther King, regarding King’s analysis of black Americans and his comment, “souls left in darkness”: Elijah invitation was accepted. The invitation expressed the following:

“Dear Sir: We have reached a crucial crossroad in the life of our people here in America. Since all of us who love our people are walking toward one goal: freedom, justice and equality from the common enemy—let us realize that in unity there is strength. Let us come together in a meeting to discuss the future plans and programs needed to achieve these goals for our people. If we have any love and respect for each other, let us be intelligent about the matter and present to America and all the world a united black front. The destiny of 22 million is too important to allow disunity among us to prevent our achievement of a united front of Black Americans…” (THE HONORABLE MINISTER LOUIS FARRAKHAN, 2013)

With so much to consider regarding the latest message from the Nation of Islam. I find it interesting the philosophy of a ‘United Black Front’ established by Booker T. Washington and carried on through-out, the African American struggle. In 2011, Stefflova, Dulik, Matthew, Barnholtz-Sloan, Pai, Rebbeck & Walker published an article titled, ‘Dissecting the Within-Africa Ancestry of Populations of African Descent in the America’. This article although confirmed:
“…the distribution and identity of within-African ancestral contributions to groups of African descent in the Americas correspond to colonial histories and slave trade routes. The present analysis of genetic variations implies that African populations contributed differently to distinct populations of the New World, suggesting that the assumption of genetic homogeneity of African ancestry within the Americas is not necessarily valid…” (Stefflova, Dulik, Matthew, Barnholtz-Sloan, Pai, Rebbeck & Walker, 2011).

Homogeneity of African Americans may not be valid, but from a global perceptive regarding population extinction, a different understanding of ancestral identity becomes apparent. Statistically the population of African American blacks, is 39 million (US Census Bureau, 2012). Compared with Africa’s black population of 1.033 billion (Worldpopulation, 2012). I think a critical look at how slavery began in the United States first occurred. Some might find it quit surprising, that at one time in our pre-history; we really were a nation of individual liberty, where by racism and separation were nulled.

Charles Johnson and Patricia Smith historical work, ‘Africans in America’, provide a simple overview which details facts, explaining how African slavery started in America and is associated with economic. In 1606 king James granted the Virginia Company a charter. The company planned getting settlers to work the land and the combined produced would be divided to all members by the number of shares they had. In 1607, 900 settlers founded Jamestown and the Virginia company paid to developed the business venture. But nothing occurred for 3 years. Along with lost profits 840 of the settlers had dies mostly from starvation.

Suddenly desperate to return profit the settlers planted tobacco and by 1617 the Virginia Company and Jamestown was successful. King James attempted to restrict tobacco sales by raising import duty. But England and Europe was too addicted by then and the demand rose rapidly. The demand for tobacco resulted in a supply issues of which more labor was needed to work the tobacco fields. The two options for the planters were to 1.) Massachusetts model: relocate entire families from England to Virginia to work the farms as co-owners. (Selling some of their existing property and increase to larger plantation) 2.) ‘Capitalize’ on England’s lower class citizens making them indentured servants. The latter was most used. But it within itself caused issues in England.

People began to incriminate others, kidnap them, place false charges against them to have them placed on contract of which they would get paid a finder’s fee. The contract with the Virginia Company was 4-7 years and included shelter, and food. After the contract was completed one would be friended and given a parcel of land a suit and a bushel of corn. The laws that govern the indentured workers were few as they were killed, sold (reconstructed) and punished for poor production.

Things changed in 1619 when the Dutch entered the picture. A Dutch ship robbed a Spain ship of Africans took it to Jamestown and sold the African cargo for food. Many of those Africans were
contracted out to the Virginia Company and received the same contractual terms as the indentured workers from England. At this time to be a free person all one had to do was converting to Christianity. There was a blind racial class difference. Class structure was based on economics so there were the planters, Christian colonist and servants. Some servants were permanent to a household while most were under contract. The term slave was not used.

For me this was one of the only times in American history that race was not an issue and true equal standing existed as it would later be worded in the Declaration of Independence: This was the America, before America-1600-1639. In 1639 a chain of events changed America the beautiful into, America the ugly.

A perfect reference is Anthony Johnson, His story was the norm. Anthony Johnson was a contract worker with the The Virginia Bay Charter in Jamestown. He completed his 7 year contract and was provided: property, seeds, live stock, and supplies for construction. He within a few years turned his entitlements into a plantation that was larger than his prior over-seer within the Virginia Bay Charters. He followed the same contract worker procedures as his over-seer. He passed this inheritance on to his son, of which his son had two sons. Between 1670-1690 Anthony Johnson’s “earned effort” was demolished into a few arches. His son had to purchase freedom papers for him and his children. 

American the beautiful turned ugly after 1639. In 1639 Maryland declared that a Christian baptism did not make a slave free, starting the end of religious salvation on America. In 1640 planter Hugh Gwyn’s had 3 indentured servants escaped. All three were captured, 2 were white one was black. The two white ones had one year extended to their contract (which was the norm sentence for escape attempts) while the black one, John Punch was sentenced the rest of his natural life (slavery) to Mr. Gwyn’s. No white servant ever was sentenced to life.

Note that environmental and social progress also fueled these changes, such as Europe had less indentured servants to offer seeming other countries offered competitive contracts. Africans and Indians worked the fields better. Stories of labor ownership in the gulf island suggested higher profit returns. Maritime laws govern slave cargo dimensioned. As all of this unfolded demand for tobacco and other raw products from America increased. The world had come to witness the degradation of African people. And in America, African people would never again have a real full EQUAL STANDING IN THE LAND OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM, no matter what the declarations of independence, references as the Alienable Rights of all men.

America wrote its own ugly inhuman treatment as follows. In 1641 Massachusetts set the trend by legally recognizing slavery as a legal institution of commerce-thus punishing Africans contract workers by re-titling them slaves. Connecticut followed in 1650; Virginia in 1661 and the rest followed through. In 1663 Virginia courts decided any child born to a contract worker would be enslaved for life. This became a major factor as it became the norm that one parent would be free, yet another caught up in some life servitude sentence would have a child born into slavery. Ironic was the tides that overcame some successful African Americans like Anthony Johnson who himself,  had one of his contract African workers turned against him and landed a case in court which would forever change/restrict blacks from courts.

The laws continued in 1669 Virginia made it lawful to kill a slave. In 1670 it became legal to kill a runaway slave. The society of America had stratified itself from it simple prior class structure than in the earlier parts of the century. Now there where planters, whites, poor whites, free blacks, indentured contracted blacks, indentured life blacks, slaves (purchased) and slaves (born into slavery). The world often looks at Spain as a major slave trade but England was just as bad. In 1672 England started the Royal African Company which lead the world in slave trading, transporting 45,000 slaves a year. Finally in 1698 Parliament abolished slavery in England and the company was dissolved.

I have always seen this country as nothing more than a business venture of investments. The Virginia Company is a great example of the lengths and unethical human treatment a company will go through to increase profits. What a shame. It is no coincidence that the Nation of Islam and Farrakhan speak of economic survival for African Americans which suggest self determinate moves as a collective. The mere mention of Marcus Garvey might imply a last resort of declarations by which African Americans no longer find it necessary to state/speak to the world, and by action can obtain their natural given reverences, as humans upon this planet, created by God!  How receptive, would today modern African Americans be to notions of returning to Africa? Well one historical story which would be a heavy deterrence would be CHARLES TAYLOR.

Recently WordPress sent me a congradulation email, documenting my association with them since 2008. As I read the email, I thought about my original intent of blogging with WordPress and came across this un-posted work. At the time I was posting on several blogs and internet services, depending on the rhetoric. The following was posted via my Blackberry on the Sprint Network, 2010. PS: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen! (My pre-De Mon Faire, which did not evolve until later that year, 10/2010)

Uhm I just thought about something. First of all lately I’ve been going over and over in my head, hounding my conscious and sub-conscious memory for details concerning my time in Kansas City Missouri where I first met a group of Christians who made drums and sold them in the park. They invited me to come and join their organization and live in a huge high rise in KC-Mo, but I declined. Why should I consider their offer, when I was already 1 year into my own research concerning the working conditions of American Workers? I had just left Sea-Land Industries and witness how the United States (politicians and corporations) sat quietly and fleeced us out of the global shipping industry, to a global competitor (Maersk Shipping). While I was in KC-MO, I had just finished a temp assignment at Western Auto where the CEO told me and I witness him try to save his company and his employees from the take-over intent of COOKIE CUTTER CORPORATION that only care about money and don’t give a damn about Americans, especially American workers (can anyone say NAFTA). He was particularly anger at the territory unintent (no interest) of one giant franchise that has gulped up American small business (mom and pop operations). This is where my heart desire was at the time, the American working class; as I traveled state to state (at this time Alaska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, West Virginia, New York, Michigan, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon…)

So why would I even consider joining a bunch of hippie loving Christian who seemed to spend their time, spreading the word of Jesus (which was an admirable thing to do) but my interest where set on experiencing as much work history by as many companies that would be out of business in the future. At the time I termed them “antiquated industries/business” because something about their nature would be a factor I predicated would result in their closure. When I finally disclosed my research (1999), America wobbled on the brink of chaos or annexation or war. I had to save what I termed then, AMERICANISM for Americans. I saw an economical crash occurring, the intro of the Amero, credit card collapse, gift card craziness, the FDIC authorization being overridden by, Financial Networks that were not regulated because they did not claim themselves as banks.

Another reason I pleasantly smiled at the Christian drum making, drum playing hippies was I had already encounter some extreme Christians, in Waco, Texas and I felt more like them. And boy them boys were serious and questioned my faith in ratio to the Federal Government. But they let me listen to them and their ordeal and I was impressed even through their ideology and issues with the government I did not total agree with. However we shared a respect for David and the burning of ???????? in Texas (David Koresh). So the drum making, drum playing hippies where not even in the same league as me, and I had no interest in relaxing when much work and experience was needed. So I passed up the offer to jump into more work and employment to study.

Well today I was on the yahoo ask community (yeah I am back with Yahoo, but still only trusting Microsoft/MSN) and someone asked, if the end of the world was near. I responded by stating No, but some type of human sense of evolvement might be in the work. Then I question hadn’t they read or seen the Celestine prophecy and I nearly stopped in my tracks. WAIT WAIT WAIT….The damn secret society wanna be’s of Las Vegas, maybe, just maybe (I’ll never forget that beautiful girlfriend of a co-worker who was a nurse but tried to be a model and she showed me one of modeling composites…I saw a similar too similar one here in Vegas)…

So if these ass holes here in Vegas are in any way related with the hippies in KC-MO then WOW, I am the Celestine Prophecy (or a portion of the entirety) and I now Spiritually and Humanly (physical state) REFUSE TO BE OR DO ANYTHING WITH THEM OR FOR THEM. Thus my own prophecy of me is true, I will write the book that not only exposes them as fakes, but also be in association with the REAL DIVINE SPIRIT as quoted by Dr. Hank Wessleman and Shamanism, which will prevail in the coming of the lord. And to think I thought I would die before the Rapture.

Anyway, I never associated those KC-MO hippies with the Celestine Prophecy or the Rapture for that sake, or with the extreme Christians in Texas. Yet I always had a feeling that these ass holes in Las Vegas might be associated with the drum makers of KC-MO. What a fucking trip!

And the minute wicked side of my sub conscious mind has pledge to give all of their souls to the voo doo lady from Mombasa, who collect souls in a glass bottle to wear around her neck for illumination. Ha Ha Ha, you gotta laugh at that, seeming that some actually thought they could, knowing they couldn’t and not even given a damn of the consequences, I would never involve evil to my purpose. Collecting souls in a glass bottle, is taken from the movie “Serpent In The Rainbow” which detailed the unbelievable but true events of Wade Davis (an Etnobotinist) as he researched his doctoral thesis and ran into undefined spiritual events, related to Voo-Doo and witch craft. Not that I was comparing them to the experience of Wade Davis or me being of his nature. It was just I was on my own self-created mission, which involved American industry and I was physically working in those industries to experience it for myself!

None of them were in Waco Texas when I was there, None of them were in KC-MO (I can’t qualify that one, but not to my knowing) and the biggest thing is none of the nice great Christians I met in the pass, used sadistic evil tactics of the devil to prey into the sub conscious or conscious thoughts of another. As the reggae song states, …”la di da, the devil has fallen…rest now, a new day dawns, la di da the devil has fallen, bless Jah, a new day rise!” I can’t get over it, the correlation between the secret society and the Celestine prophecy. The only thing I did not like in that book was the way they used telepathy. I hated it! And look at me now, it’s a good thing I understand the dynamic of the human conscious and (and now a little) sub conscious mind. (Besides it was one of them, here in Las Vegas, that told me, “Oh just accept it, it’s an evolved skill you’re acquiring.” Right fucking demons working with fallen angels. OR have the demons influenced the fallen Angels. Nonetheless, it’s worthless because I know a secret which is also a joke on all of them. You’re loving and following a prior Angel, who simply wants to return home and which HE CAN’T, at least that what he believes and you believe as he leads you. So I seek to return Satan home to heaven, and seek to encourage the humor of that statement in other Christian’s, as to deflate the mystical essences of his power, which derive from GOD (our Alpha Omega). What does that say about them, who follow Satan?????

Oh well something new each day is learned. But wow, the Celestine prophecy. Damn it reminds me of when I was about 8 or 9 and I got baptized. Strange group of Christians, strange feeling, strange everything and I wasn’t with my mom, that’s the scariest part of all. But anyway, this oddity is becoming fun for me, now. I can laugh at their stupid asses using their own tool, telepathy. Ohh I hate it, but then there are a lot of things I hate about the living world that I tolerate. So it’s time to start using it in my own humorous interest. Have fun with it.

Biopsychosocial Client and Case Management Relationship (cont…Person Environment Case Management Neglect series)

11/15/13

RE: Case Management and Client Relationship

Dear Housing Specialist, Mental Health Professional and Politicians,

The following is taken from a compliant to HUD regarding, the neglect of case workers, FMM and GJJ of South West Behavioral Health Services, in Phoenix, Arizona–3450 N 3rd St, Phoenix, AZ 85012 (602)257-9339. Client #1 is me, Paul Dewitt Goree and Client #2 roommate (mis-placed roommate). The intent of this letter and blog documentation is to bring attention to Case Management and Client relationship. I believe that interaction between the two is vital to a successful candidate and am seeking to bring light on a situation I encounter regarding the result of bad case management. Please note that additional information regarding the incidences are also available on-line at:

4# video of assault from roommate: http://youtu.be/-O–G-fAnAA

I moved into HOPWA housing program July 2012. The following are the HUD codes violated by case managers FMM and GJJ:

24 CFR 574.310(e), HOPWA regulations require agencies to create a formal process for handling the termination of participants from HOPWA assistance. Termination procedures should include the following elements:
I was terminated from the housing program based on two false premises. First, I let another client who was terminated the day before me, wait in my apartment: while Mr. GJJ came to unlock the door of his apartment, so that he could retrieve his property. At no time did I know that this prior client was trespassing. Mr. GJJ was informed by the Phoenix Police department, that he could not inform me of my guest trespassing status without a property manager or the police department. Mr. GJJ preluded the officers, by handing me a termination letter, then proceeding to call the police: after the fact, violating my civil liberties.

The second request on Mr. GJJ’s termination report, stated that I failed to enroll in a drug treatment program. No prior written documentation from Mr. GJJ suggest that I needed to attend a drug treatment program and information from my former roommate and his addiction were assumed upon me. As it turns out my case manager and I decided to enroll in a program just to satisfy Mr. GJJ’s request, but my Ryan White Insurance did not cover the cost of drug test, which Mr. GJJ made mandatory. All of this information regarding drug usage is based on Mr. GJJ’s assumption and not once was a drug test requested of me.

24 CFR 83.306(d), Information related to covered disabilities or handicaps during their housing program’s screening or participant selection process. Though it limits what information a provider can gather about a person’s disabilities, the Act does allow a provider or property owner to ask other questions for the following purposes, safety: Mr. GJJ’s screening of client# 2 roomate did not presume a future hostile environment for both clients, due to client #2’s mental diagnoses (which was voluntarily conveyed to me, by Mr. Thurman and was also conveyed to me by Mr. Garcia (violating confidentiality). Mr. GJJ neglected to screen client for possible mental disabilities, which resulted in a stressful environment for me (see Youtube Video : http://youtu.be/-O–G-fAnAA ) I had to call for emergency assistance several times for client #2 roommate’s extreme anxiety attacks. The EMT and Phoenix Police department both times, stated that they would contact Mr. GJJ and request a separation intervention, stating that this living arrangement was hostile. Mr. GJJ failed to comply with the EMT and Police departments’ request, leaving me and client #2 roommate in a hostile arrangement.

24 CFR 574.440 states, the grantee shall agree, and shall ensure that each project sponsor agrees, to ensure the confidentiality of the name of any individual assisted under this part and any other information regarding individuals receiving assistance. Before client #2 roommate moved in, Mr. GJJ visited me and requested that I should assist client #2 roommate with his PTSD regarding his prior sexual assault, sexual identity and HIV status. This is confidential information upon which I think should not have been stated to me, and the assumption of assisting violates NASW and NAMI code of ethics.

Thank You
Paul Goree

Client Profile Debate: Unethical Actions of Case Workers – The Development of a Behavioral Inferno through Neglect

 

Client Profile Debate: Unethical Actions of Case Manager-The Development of a Behavioral Inferno through Neglect. (Part 3 of Person-Environment: Case Worker Neglect)

By: Paul Goree

It is up for debate if two case managers of a mental health organization made unethical decisions, by neglecting to intervene. The mental health organization was awarded a housing grant, through a special division of HUD. The grant is for assistance with housing for eligible clients. The mental health organization administers their own housing for their clients, mental health services, and substance abuse. The grant is a formula grant awarded after approval of Consolidated Plans to cities and state with, populations over 500,000 and meet the specific percentage requirement of categorical targeted population.  In other states the award is administered through non-profit categorical organizations, state/county housing departments, etc. The recipient are referrals and not necessarily clients of the mental health organization. The following are the profiles of two clients, who experienced duress (through no fault of their own) the results of two neglecting case workers.

 

The two clients, both referrals for transitional housing, leading to a self- sustaining/self- determinate life. The two incidences detailed, occurred and now can be reviewed to see where improvement to social service and case management can be made. Also improvements in grant issuing for programs that address independent living, transitional housing, co-habitation, and how effective and efficient the contractual administration is reaching the targeted population. Obama has made appropriations to balance the budget, and in doing so has set up committees to probes into grants issued to organization that administer multiple services and their effectiveness. In the 2013 Fiscal Budget, the White House concluded to increase efforts to “…identify programs that were either ineffective, duplica­tive, or outdated and thus needed to be cut or consolidated (p. 25). I hypothesis that the following events would have been prevented or minimized, had the mental health organization involved, was not administering multi services, and attempt to administer a categorical formula grant, of which the organization does not directly administer services for that targeted population. The categorical grant was awarded for housing, not mental health.

 

CLIENT ONE PROFILE:

Age: 44, African American, transitioning from chronic homelessness, current returning college student, recovery from sub-stance usage (Faith Based Treatment 2007-2008), Group Substance visits. Client has no felony charges, one misdemeanor charge and is not on probation. Clients Program objective is correlates to current behavior: Objective, finish education obtain BSW/MSW, pursue administrative policy advocate position dealing with homelessness and veteran services. Client started housing program July 2012. Client maintained successful program objective while residing with roommate (also client of program) for 5 months. At the end of the 5^th month, the roommate’s programs eligibility had expired and a new roommate moved in (Client 2).

CLIENT TWO:

Age: 24, Mexican American, transiting from family into program, no education obtained (considering GED, but not registered), current substance usage (program objective treatment to follow), Client has felony charges somehow over looked/neglected during assessment. Court record detail court dates. Client has SMI diagnoses. Client program objective: successfully complete treatment, apply for Social Security, obtain GED, and obtain self-sustainability.

 

The following two incidences, represent the obvious behavioral differences between both clients. Which was a barrier in their attempts to successful complete program objectives. As detailed in prior blogs, there is a definite factor which must be contained in social service administration that assist in self-sustainability programs. That factor is environment. The environment is a major contribute to the success or failure of a client. Both Dr. Jeffery Schwartz ,Carel Germain and Alex Gitterman provided researched evidence that dysfunctional environment hinder the development of self-sustainability. The following two incidences, the duress and undue guilty of client 1, brought on by client two. As client 2 went through frequent personality changes, server anxiety attacks and substance abuse (of prescribed medication and street substances). These incidence were numerous and resulted in police calls, yet no intervention from the two case workers involved. These incidences continued for an 8 month period, from November 2012 through May 2013.

 

INCIDENT ONE: January 2013

Tension in the apartment was extreme. Client 1 accused client 2 of stealing his laptop. And provided a picture of client 2 stealing the laptop. Client one was frustrated with client 2 constant disrespect of his private property and space. Client 2 had an annoying habit of intruding into client 1’s room, even when the door was closed. Client 2 explained his intruding habit as natural cause associated with his SMI diagnoses. Client 1 not fully knowledgeable of SMI and behavioral actions, rationalized his tolerance of clients 2 intruding habit as enduring strength, by which an individual empowers themselves and ability to assist through acquiring patience and tolerance/understand individual behavior. Client 1 was incorporating spiritual aspects of human interaction into his life during this time. Such therapist and speakers as Wayne Dyer and Dr. Ellis thought of action prevailed to client 1. Thus he was extremely tolerant of client 2 antics.

 

On this particular day client 1 as usual retreated to his room with the door closed, hoping it would signal private time. Client 2 as usual followed client 1 open his door and walked in. Client 1 verbally informed client 2, that he was not welcomed and that he wanted to be alone. Client 2 blurted out that he was emotionally duress and needed to talk to someone about an abuse that had occurred to him in the past. Client 1 informed him that he needed to talk to the case worker or to a professional counselor if it was regarding anything personal dealing with emotions and abuse. Client 2 became irritated and stated that he wanted to talk to Client 1 about the incident, and that he didn’t find it useful talking to his caseworkers about his problems. He wanted to talk to someone like client 1, hoping that a better understanding could be found. Client 1 informed client 2, that we was unable to assist him with counseling and again urged him to talk to his case worker for a referral. Client 2 as usual disregard the entire conversation and purpose and began detailing the events of a sexual abuse from a prior boyfriend.

 

Client 1 interrupted and informed client 2 to stop requesting assistance, seeming he was not qualified to assist and did not think it was appropriate considering NASW. Client 2 attempted to convince client 1, that this was a friendship conversation not a therapy conversation. Client 1 then reminded client 2, that he should not take it personal, but he did not consider client 2 a friend, and that the purpose of this housing program was to become self-sustainable, not make friendships. He again requested client 2 to seek advice from a professional and not to involve him in his personal life, in reference to counseling or advice. Client 2 became enraged and began to insult client 1. “What type of case worker are you going to be? I feel sorry for the people you counsel they might end up killing themselves?” Client 1 apologized and attempted to calm client 2. Client 2 insisted on client 1 hearing the abuse details. Client 1 again, asked client 2 not to request advice and that if he continued to disrespect him that he needed to leave the room. Client 2 refused to leave client 1’s room, so client 1 left his own room, by which client 2 followed. Client 1 then ran back into his room and locked the door.

 

Client 2 knocked upon the door requesting entry and yelling. Client 2 then went into a serve anxiety attack and started throwing items around the house. Client 1 open the door and asked client 2 if he was ok. Client 2 ranted on as he continued to throw items around the house. Client 2 after a few minutes calmed down, then requested a huge from client 1. Client 1 denied the request, which fueled the anxiety again. This time client 2 ran to his room, ranting about client 1 stealing his medication. Client one followed client 2, and from the door way observed client 2 opening various prescribed medication and tossing them out of the container on to the floor. Client 1 informed client 2 that he was going to call the crisis team. Client 2 continued to open medication and toss them about his room. Client 1 called 911 and requested crisis intervention.

 

The police arrived (one female, one male). The female officer talked with client one, in the living room. While the male officer knocked upon client 2’s door attempting to get him to open the door. Client 2 refused to open the door for the officer. The officer instructed client 2 of what would be his next course of action, if client 2 did not open the door. The officer let client 2 know that he needed to make sure he was ok. Client 2 open the door, the officer saw all the pills tossed about the room and asked client 2 if he needed crisis intervention. Client 2 informed the officer that he did and the name of his case worker. EMF arrived and they asked client 1 questions regarding client 2’s prescription usage of which he could not answer. He did not know how many varied medication were prescribed to him, his schedule for taking them and how to assist if he mis-took them or over took them. EMF took client 2 for treatment/hospitalization/institutionalization.

 

Client 2 remain gone for a week. Client 1 started to feel bad about not being knowledgeable about client 2’s need for prescriptions and what if an event occurred where by client 2 harmed himself and locked himself in the room. How would he know? Client 1 started to feel that he should not be responsible for the attending of client 2, and that he was not qualified. Client 1 expressed to a friend, sentiment and requested information from stated friend, who is an Arizona licensed in-care taker. Client 1 wanted to know why case workers would place him in such an environment or place client 2 in such an environment. When client 2 returned, he seemed himself again. But he stated to client 1 that he is most upset that he would not huge him. Client 1 replied by telling client 2, that he didn’t feel bad about it, because he will not give him a huge ever: seeming that another associate came to the house, and client 2 requested a huge from that associate. The associate refused, but offered a hand bump instead. Client 2 accepted the hand bump in exchange of a huge. When client 1 offered client 2 a hand shake instead, client 2 insisted that it must be a huge. Thus was the reasoning for not hugging client 2. Client 2 still insisted that such behavior from a future social worker would need to be changed and that he was going to report this incident to the case worker (which he did with all the incidences).

This incident provide evidence that both clients had personal objectives and behavioral actions that were not compatible. This incident occurred month 3 of a 9 month ordeal. And at that point in month 3, represented the 15 such similar incident, with 2^nd police involvement. Each police involvement ended with recognition of the organization and the case worker. Each police stated they would request intervention and the police report.

 

INCIDENT 2: March 2013

Tension in the apartment reached an all-time high. Both clients placed locks on their doors. Client 1 attempted to attend college course, but was often disturbed by client 2. Client 2 became engaged with a series of prior associates, whom client 1 did not know, but whom intruded upon client 1 and client 2’s household. Client 1 explained to the strangers his BSW/MSW objective and once asked the strangers, why would they want to ruin their housing opportunity? They shrugged their shoulders. He then asked them if they understood the terms of the housing agreement. They again shrugged their shoulders? Client 1 explained to them, that he was not concerned at that point about his personal housing, seeming he had lost confidence in this housing program, seeming it was now month 6 of a horrid duressful experience, by which he now desired it to be sabotage, just to see if the case workers were still alive. He then informed them, that since this was the case, he wanted to get something knowledgeable out of it. He asked them could he use their responses in any written correspondences such a report he was possibly writing for his blog on homelessness (WordPress March 20, 2013). They agreed. He then asked them if they were homeless. They responded yes. He then asked them why had they not sought shelter at CASS? The answers varied. One of them, respondent by telling Client 1 his story. He was unemployed, pending status SSD, homeless, the CASS facility was out of reach from where he was living, and he expressed a disappointment in Arizona Squatting Laws. Client 1 then asked if he had went to DES. The respondent said yes. Client 1 then asked, didn’t your case worker inquire about your homeless status? The respondent said no. Client 1 informed the respondent that DES has an entire department which focuses on homelessness. Client 1 also informed the respondent, that in the state where he recently moved from, all SSD pending clients receiving temporary housing through the county. Seeming they are either medical or mentally pending SSD. The reasoning would be, why would society subject a pending medical/mental citizen to possible endangering elements/factors, when they are ill? They might get worst. Thus efforts are made to house them, if their SSD is approved, they agree to pay the county/state back a portion of the total. If it is denied, then they are not held responsible for the total and the county/state takes up the cost. The respondent said no such program was detailed to him, and that he didn’t even know that DES offered homeless services. Client 1 informed the respondent, that he wished his class (SWU 295) which he was suppose to be attending at the current time, could hear all that he had just expressed about his ordeal and homeless as he waits for SSD.

 

All the time this discussion was going on, client 2 was in his room, with a few of the strangers who were not interested in what client 1 had to say. A few days following this discussion, client 2 walked into the apartment with equipment he had purchased from Cox Communication. Client 1 had already had an account with Cox Communication for Wi-Fi service only. The account was established September 2012. Client 2 opened a new account in his own name for DSL telephone service (seeming the apartment lacked the stated telephone for emergency calls) and cable television services (the only television was in client 2’s bedroom). In order for the DSL telephone to function, it needed client 1’s Wi-Fi box and service. At first client 1 had no problem with letting client 2 use the service. However on this particular day, client 1 was working on some class work on his blackberry phone, seeming client 2 had stolen his laptop. Client 2 arrived home and went to turn on the DSL, interrupting the Wi-Fi signal of client 1.

 

A confrontation resulted, whereby client 1 unplugged the Wi-Fi box and placed it in his room. Client 2 demanded that client 1 plug it back in. Client 1 refused. Client 2 then proceeded to go to the front office of the apartment complex and call the case workers. Client 2 returned and informed client 1 that both case workers were coming over. When the case workers arrived they attempted to resolve the problem. They did not address any of the prior 6 months of neglect and police reports, or the condition of the apartment, the welfare of the clients, simple the issue at hand. Client 2 explained the event, by accusing client 1 of not allowing him to use the cable signal for a telephone call. Client 1 respondent by informing the case managers that the cable signal is not the problem, the problem is that he was in the middle of doing some class work on his private property, with his private account that he had invested over $700 in over the past 10 months with Cox Communication, and that he did not feel he had to attend to Client 2’s disrespectful demand! Client 1 pointed out to the case managers that not only has he let client 2 use the Wi-Fi box, not once did client 2 show any appreciation with a simple thank you. He was upset with client 2’s constant plug in of the DSL box when both clients have cell phones, and that it cost him $75 dollars deposit for the connection to function, by which client 2 didn’t pay one dime. Thus in order for it to be equally shared doesn’t seem possible, seeming client 1 had the main account first and paid the deposit.

 

The case workers respondent by urging client 1 to cooperate and let client 2 share the Wi-Fi signal. Client 1 concluded at this point that these two case workers were incompetent and that actions must be taken to have them reviewed.  A temporary agreement was made, which client 2 enjoyed, but client 1 felt was unfair. How could two case manager instruct a client as to how they need to allocate their private property against their will. This was a violation of client 1’s civil liberties (5th Amendment- proper payment of private property-4th Amendment seizing property, instructing someone as to how they will use their property is wrong and the same as seizing the property- the two case workers nor client 2 paid the bill, nor owned the property.). As the two case managers left, one of them (the female) asked client one had he been sleeping well. Client 1 didn’t understand what that had to do with the visit. She then continued to asked him was he sleeping well in the bed, seeming that organization only had funding for twin size beds and he was taller than the bed. She asked if he had to sleep in the fetal position. At that point, the second case worker laughed. Client 1 looked at them in shock, questioning the motive of such an immature statement from two professionals.

 

 

 

 

Ethical Duty with Social Professions

This was a class assignment, focusing on ethics and the duty of attending to professional codes of conduct. This is supplement data regarding prior post: Person-Environment and Case Management Neglect.

Author: Paul Goree Posted Date: November 14, 2012 4:05 AM Status: Published

The questions I am responding to for this week’s post are: 1.) What guidelines does your profession give you around this idea of “duty to intervene”?

1.) When considering the duty of intervention within the profession of Social Worker, the NASW provides the guidelines by which accepted conduct is to be performed. In section 6.01 of the NASW provides the core of expected duty: “social workers should promote the general welfare of society, from local to global levels and the development of people, their communities and their environments.” More importantly in regards to intervention, section 6.03 Public Emergencies, states: “Social workers should provide appropriate profession services in public emergencies to the greatest extent possible.” Other aspects of NASW provide the ethical duty of social workers to clients, Section 1: and to the profession itself, in Section 4. (2012, NASW) In general I think the duty of social workers are, positive duties, which are perfect duties, and have a general requirement to them, in that we attend to them on the mere fact that human beings are involved (I would include animals and the environment also).

Merriam-Webster, defines duty as:

something that is done as part of a job. : something that you must do because it is morally right or because the law requires it.

It could be consider that within some professions, a moral obligation is enacted to protect the interest of the profession and prospective clients. However that is hard for me to determine at a total TRUTH, considering unethical decisions of two social services professionals: portrayed in prior post, Person-Environment and Case Management Neglect. Considering a Justice Approach to an ethical circumstance let’s assume possible conditions, whereby a duty can be altered, not attended to or implemented but not enforced or detailed with procedural operational rules.

Off the top of my head, I would state, that there are no condition by which professional code of ethics can be unattended. I want to qualify this to the structure of public institutions, administering public services (mental, health, economical, employment, education, etc.). There may be instances (as history has proven), where by an individual within a society/social setting (macro) avoids, alters, neglects or protest against ethic civil duties or obligations (law). These instances are supported by our American ideology of Liberty, and thus can be subjective as to their occurrence. In these instances coalitions form and ethic civil codes are put to the people for legislations, which is the best thing about Democracy.

However within public institutions, the realm of liberty is limited by the regulations which serve to protect the public. Those regulations become ethical code of conduct by which all professional within that profession accept as part of their career intent. So what would be a fictitious circumstance by which a professional would risk their career by neglecting their professional ethical duty?

Much has been written and expose on corruption and it is a factor by which the minute affects the majority negatively. I honestly would like to believe that within the social service profession, the sincere intent of the endeavor limits the possibility of corruption through the means of neglect. That would be, intentional neglect! Why would a professional social service case manager, intentional neglect a client? Is it a continued instance based upon clients ethnic political factors? Is it sub-interest conflict? Is it politically motivated?

At one time in our history, thoughts and legislation was enacted by which the slaughtering of the American Buffalo resulted. Where those actions ethnically motivated? Some look to the Dawes Act as evidence; while some like, Richard McCormick looked towards civil resolutions (H.R. 157). I could consider professional neglect as being similar to latent motives of the Dawes Act. Or I could consider those professional neglected codes to be motivation, resulting in actions pursued by R.McCormick. So until a motive is established. I will continue to follow through with this blog: Person – Environment: Case Worker Neglect. When individuals protest and break legal civil codes, their intent and actions more likely than not, result in revised legislation ( 18th amendment/ 21st amendment). When professional social service persons violate ethical codes of conduct, their intended actions could result in negative social factors that propel rioting. Example social gentrification.

 

 

PERSON – ENVIRONMENT and CASE WORKER NEGLECT

Some never realize or maybe simple refuse to recognize the emotional damage they have placed upon another person, with their unethical neglect. And so the victim continue to vents…May he/she continue until they come to some closure of the events as they occurred. Professional case workers are ethical required to attend to the code of ethics of their profession. When this is not done, and life changing events occur (including duress) they have failed their client, organization, community, and themselves as being one to encourage, empower and assist. So if I’m correct Behavioral Health Paraprofessional require a R9-20-204 and an associate’s degree. Behavioral Health Professional require an A.A.C. R9-20-204 and a Bachelor degree. Both should have integrity and recognize the result of their neglected actions. If a program is designed with the Strength Theory basis, why would a professional neglect the Biopsychosocial/Ecological factors of their clients? Why would you place a level 1 client with a level 3 client and not intervene when the collision occurs. The local police department and 911 records document a dysfunctional environment. One client constant telephone complaints to the case workers documents a dysfunctional environment. Then on December 23, 2012 an upset case worker calls the second client (using derogatory language) claiming his discontent with the situation and how he was coming to end the entire ordeal. Yet NO SHOW. How could a professional simple ignore the importance of environment regarding behavioral services?

In Carel Germain and Alex Gitterman’s work, Ecological Perspective. Germain and Giterman detail the person-environment dynamic.

“Person:environment fit is the actual fit between an individual’s or a collective group’s needs, rights, goals, and capacities and the qualities and operations of their physical and social environments within particular cultural and historical contexts. Hence, for the person and environment, the fit might be favorable, minimally adequate, or unfavorable. When it is favorable or even minimally adequate, it represents a state of relative “adaptedness” (Dubos, 1978), which promotes continued development and satisfying social functioning and sustains or enhances the environment. Adaptedness reflects generally positive person:environment exchanges over time. It is never fixed but shifts in accord with shifts in reciprocal exchanges. When exchanges over time are generally negative, development, health, and social functioning might be impaired and the environment could be damaged.”

In Lise Goodmans work, Homelessness as psychological trauma: Broadening perspectives. Goodman explores the possible traumatic symptoms produced from homelessness.

“Typically, the transition from being housed to being homeless lasts days, weeks, months, or even longer. Most people living on the street or in shelters have already spent time living with friends or relatives and may have experienced previous episodes of homelessness (see, e.g., Shinn, Knickman, & Weitzman, 1989, 1991; Sosin, Piliavin, & Westerfelt, 1991). The loss of stable shelter, whether sudden or gradual, may produce symptoms of psychological trauma. Second, among those who are not psychologically traumatized by becoming homeless, the ongoing condition of homelessness—living in shelters with such attendant stressors as the possible loss of safety, predictability, and control—may undermine and finally erode coping capabilities and precipitate symptoms of psychological trauma. Third, if becoming homeless and living in shelters fail to produce psychological trauma, homelessness may exacerbate symptoms of psychological trauma among people who have histories of victimization. For these people, homelessness may constitute a formidable barrier to recovery (Goodman, 1991).”

I think neglect of a client’s person:enviroment assessment and neglect of traumatizing effects of co-habitation of varied personalities and intents is a barrier to recovery. As an individual attempts to forgo the events as they occurred, it becomes nearly impossible to trust the intent of a case worker, who vagrantly neglected an obligated duty of intervention. 9 months of complaints and no intervention in a housing program! And as the victim waits, HUD is still reviewing formal complaints. Maybe the legal system maneuvers more efficiently. Case workers can be sued for neglect and unethical actions. Especially when those unethical action included case workers providing confidential client profile data to another client!!!

The following  video is from Dr. Jeffery Schwartz. Schwartz states, environment has radical influences on how the centers of the brain’s cravings work. By going back to the same spots where drugs, alcohol or pornography was used in the past will significantly increase chances of relapse. In early stages of recovery the brain signals are much more intense so it is very important to not be around these types of environmental ques. Genetic vulnerability is another factor. It is widely know that relatives of alcoholics are much more sensitized to the affects of alcohol even if they are not an alcoholic. By becoming an “impartial spectator” the abuser can understand the influences of environment and genetic vulnerability. It is important to get into supportive environments and communities where they can get help managing these cravings.

What is not Impossible, Is Exceptional Indeed!!!

There’s a saying that in life, ‘we should cherish the moments when we get to interact with one another.’ This is very true, and sums up my brief meeting with Mrs. Millye Carter Bloodworth. I was so fortunately to meet Millye at a social fund-raising function in Phoenix, AZ. Within the brief 10 minutes that we talked, I was enchanted, delighted and mostly educated on the stigma and social labeling of the LGBT community during the late 70’s and 80’s. During our conversation Millye pointed out sections of her dynamic book, which sensationally details history and pop culture of our American society. Which as proven by Millye’s life (regardless of its failures) is more resilient and tolerant than many believe.

I was overwhelmed by Millye’s reflections of a LGBT in Phoenix, Arizona during a time when Phoenix and Arizona was going through its own ethnic refinement. Millye pointed out that it isn’t always the system, as the factor. It’s the individual’s ability to educate the system. And education is best done by simply being. Which is what Millye is all about, being true to her spiritual existence. This book is a must read for all of those interested in the LGBT culture of the 70’s and 80’s, fascinated with Motown cultural development, pop culture elegance, and overcoming adversity. Reading this book is like personally talking one on one with a motivating empowering authority of LIFE! Millye’s personable come through every word and paints a vivid picture of what is not impossible, but exceptional indeed!!!”

Una maldición para los jugadores del juego de Halloween de 2012 (Jesús salva mi alma por esta maldición)

Ojo por ojo
Todos los que mintieron, ahora mueren
Los gritos de su colmena, ni los lazos río
Puede evitar que su maniobra de Halloween 2012.
Y ahora mi alma paga el precio más alto
Comenzando con usted, y luego a su linaje
A lo largo de las vides del diablo encuentra
Los momentos más oportunos para canjear mucha aflicción
Hago un llamamiento a la más alta esfera de la vivienda más malvado
Ofreciendo un alma honrada, a solas
Para aniquilación de aquellos que, canturreó y bramó
Esa noche de Halloween.
Todos los que transgredieron en mi alma, yo te maldigo y su linaje es azotado.

No Mass Cosmic Games – Futurisitic Death

No Mass Cosmic Game: Futuristic Death (by:Paul Goree 2013)

Teusia is the underground, where the 4th dimension exists. No Mass is the primary order by which the Teusians live. Their lives are basically preparation for transition into the 5th dimension, or transitions back into the 3rd dimension. About 60% of Teusia’s population is transitioned into the 5th dimension, while another 30% remain in Teusia: 09% die somewhere in the process. Finally 01% transition back into the 3rd dimension. This is rare, because once the soul transcends into the 4th dimension, it is elevated beyond 3rd dimension intelligence. Thus return usually results in short lived spurts of genius: then decay. Or simple insanity, inability to relate to the social reality or the environment.

Yet there was a brave man, named Lot Benson. He was that 01%. A mistake had been made and Lot was going to experience a life changing event. Lot was scheduled to arrive in Teusia, upon his 50th death on earth. But sometime during that 3/4 mark of his 50th life times, Lot felt a difference in the environment. Maybe it was the way the sun raised that morning. He had seen it rise many times before, but on this particular morning it roses, so perfectly from his Kansas City, Missouri loft. Even his routine breakfast was amazing that morning, everything tasted much flavorful. He took the vibrancy of the difference simply as feeling extraordinary that day. But little did he know, in a few hours all would be explained.

Lot was an assistant operations manager at a department store. On this particular day as he sat at his desk. He heard a voice in his ears. “Busy day in shoe the department, after 2:00pm, expect a mad rush. Need to make sure mid-day staff schedule is going to arrive.” Lot looked around wondering where the voice had come from.

He thought, “Where did that come from?” another voice began, it was, a females voice, “It came from in here?”, “where’s in here?” Lot asked? “In your head silly!!!” blurted out four voices laughing respectfully.
“Wait I don’t understand?” Lot thought. The lady voice with a smile said, “Lot today is not like any other day, in your life.” “What do you mean?” Lot thought. A man voice seemed to approached Lot, he could not see him, but could feel his presences. “Lot I, well we are here for you! And although we have always been here for you, it’s only now that we can introduce ourselves to you and let you know who we are, and that your death has come!”

Lot was in shock, “what do you mean, death I’m as healthy as an ox! What do you mean?” The voices laughed again, “An ox, now come on Lot, you can do better than that. Here let me explain it to you.” One of the voices uttered.“We are No Mass, and we are from the 4th dimension in the under-world. We’ve been your guardian angels all your life and yet only now can we assist you, as you make the right decisions towards your ascension.”

“Ascension! What, you mean?” Lot grasped his head trying to understand what was this all about. “Well Lot, we saw the video you made on YouTube, and we read the reports you wrote on Word Press. Lot, you’ve been writing far in advance, for this time era. Do you really think that people want to know that the sun is going to destroy the earth tomorrow?” Lot muttered as he tried to explain, “Well I didn’t mean tomorrow-morrow, I meant, well as I wrote it. Solar flares have increased and an S-flare is due soon. That’s all I meant to suggest!”

“Well Lot that’s the problem, maybe some people don’t want to know or be feared with another unexpected cosmic event.” The lady voice calmly stated. “But it’s true!” Lot declared. “Yeah Lot, but truth, is only as real-as society can handle. That’s a lot of truth you’re expecting society to accept. So let me tell you what’s going to occur. A lot of people are going to wonder for eternity what it may have been like, had someone name Lot Benson had not lived. But I got some good news for you. The reason we’re here, is for you to understand that after your death, what you began to express before it’s time, will begin to emerge again by others. They will introduce, similar thoughts you had expressed; but their’s will be in conjunction with the cosmic order. They will be heard. So don’t think that you’ve done or thought wrong: you’ve just been too ahead of your time.”

Lot, was lost in words as he looked around him, still trying to figure where the voices where coming from. The female cleared her throat and spoke. “Lot, you seem confused. Let me explain briefly the cosmic game. Through out everyone’s life, a slow progression of development is occurring within the soul. The soul is the most valuable portion of the human experience, seeming it’s the only portion – you get to retain. This is detailed in ordeal is detailed in the Bible, Genesis 2:7. In the Qur’an it is detailed in Sura 16:4. Through out your life, you are preparing for your future. For some, the decisions made propel them to Heaven, while others Hell. What many human do not understand is there is a 4th dimension underworld. You may be more familiar with the term, Hyperspace. Nevertheless, it is where time exists. Where the past ills of the soul can be transgressed, or as suggested in the Qur’an, “Good deeds annul ill deeds” (HUD 11:114). We are here from the 4th dimension. We come to guide a person to the 4th dimension, and it is there that the determination of their souls continued journey is decided.” Lot eyes closed as he internalized all that was stated.

A male voice near Lot, shouted to get Lot’s attention, “Lot!” “Listen to me, tonight while you sleep, we are going to experience rapid memory retention. You will have more dreams than you usually have, and they will be aspects of your life, stored wrong in your long term memory. You may experience hydration and head aches, but do know that this is a normal procedure. We will be visiting you every day. A night crew will be introduced to you tonight. The entire process takes 12 months and then you will die. You death will be of the physical body only, the spirit will return to the Alpha Omega, and your soul will transcend to the 4th dimension, where you will be guided by us.

Lot, you must understand some factors of our world. Teusia is the 4th dimension and it is where life motions are made and time exists. Each dying soul on Earth comes to Teusia, to gets a full life made motions, which highlights the best moments in their life. During the life motion, it is decided what maneuvers can be done to correct past soul ills. The way we do this, is through what you Earthlings call a biography documentary film. So while we are evaluating you over the next 12 months, we will be accompanied by a film crew. Please don’t be disturbed, and trust us when we say, it’s in your best interest…this is your futuristic death!”

FORGIVE ME (True)
(written by: Paul Dewitt Goree 11/2018 S.F.C.A.)

Once again, I’m outside without you
Texting-misspelling worth, hope of you, understanding me
I won’t pretend and blend the pain from the fear, hopelessness and vanity
When all those thoughts will only prove the truth
Leading me back to the destructive self remedies
I know you hear me knocking
I’m right outside ya door
I know you won’t desert me
Yet still odds are, there’s always a first time

-chorus-
Open up the door
I’m tired and lost for words
Forgive me -As emotions stream-True right straight from my soul
Can you feel me,  can you feel me, feel me.

Open up the door
I can’t explain why the ‘gones’ can’t be byes, yet!
Forgive me -As emotions start streaming-true.
Right straight from my soul
Can you feel me, feel me. I’m as true as I’ve ever been…under these circumstances, true with emotions
Can you feel me, feel me

It’s better in your arms, secure, comfort settles me, to peace
What a fool I am , walking on, through fire, like I’m so protected alone
Knowing – I pray each time for you,
I pray that you’ll be there to catch my fall
Even with another lie, to tie me over
Your smile is still assuring that I can pray and I can try and express without doubt
“Tomorrow I try again to be stronger, stronger!”
I know you hear me knocking
I’m right outside ya door
I know you won’t desert me
Yet still odds are, there’s always a first time

(written by: Paul Dewitt Goree 11/2018 S.F.C.A.)

 Psalm 94:3 ‘Oh Lord, how long shall the wicked exult?’

From this perspective

I’m not seeking, longing, needing

Protection from, nothing

In the physical world

The withered physical world

I dance and it’s all of me

Fully experienced enough to know by now

How to set my emotional ENERGY to work

No questions, need to be asked! There are no answers, I can provide!

It should be clear to everyone-involved right now, the moment right now!

-chorus-

Next Stage

On the Higher grounds

Sub-due with only that PERFECT LOVE.

I’m not leaving you behind

I’m simply being a portions of that light

Which leads us all to the NEXT STAGE

The very Next Stage…we’ll live on!

Next Stage

On the highest ground

So eluded from the PISCEAN harm

Excuse me and let me escape

Get away, far away from antiquated HATE

I’m not leaving any one behind

I’m simply desiring to be a portion of the light

Which leads us all to the NEXT STAGE

The very Next Stage…we’ll live on!

Bridge:

Gotta stop the emptiness

Gotta stop the intent constraints

Gotta raise collective TRUST

Before GOD opens up the valut

To the next stage

where we’ll live on and on eternally

Praising the “living Thing”

From the old perspective

I’m no longer needing empathy

Newer felt and much deeper emotions

stir my intuition…

PURE energy rippling

Like waves through the universe

Vibrating only POSITIVE LOVE-YES that Perfect Love

Never hating LOVE!

Faith must be accelerated

From the same position, as we keep moving alone

Repeat  -Chorus-

-Bridge-

gotta pass on my feelings

gotta accept new feelings

gotta acknowledge collective TRUST

Purposeful intent: HIGHER LOVE indeed, it’s PERFECT

On the Higher grounds, where we all will meet.

The next stage, where we all will be!

 

 

 

NO REGRETS

(written by: Paul Dewitt Goree 11/2018 S.F.C.A.)

My soul, silenced me

And began to feel and express to me

With vibrations of a trusting

Experienced LOVE.

So inclusive

I kept my mouth shut

Not to disturb the energy, naturally healing me…

Not just me, but all around and surrounding them beyond what I could ever figure out, on my own.

We can all admit the difference that we felt when, we felt his presence, we didn’t hear the noise of CONFUSION, from those not able – yet to internalize what it we often call FRUSTRATION.

-chorus-

Time has been

Contently a breast and friend

Indifferent, why am I

Fighting my self again

No regrets is always

The only thing defined

Time has given me

Experience and wisdom

But yet I’m not alone

We all are the sum of one

PERFECT LOVE

No Regrets is always

The only thing defined.

 

NO WRONG ROADS

Roads closed no matter where I go

Betcha I still play it, the only way I know

Lost, em’ odds don’t mean a damn thing to me

Incidental Coincidences, NO never again.

My soul been blessed- I’m feeling tossed in emotions

Ain’t too much can really fool me now

Oh what it must feel like-1/2 way in the middle

Where not even strangers wanna come and kick around

-Chorus_

Yet it’s alright

Don’t stress your mind, let it eaz tonight

It’s alright

Ghost come and go, I’m getting peace tonight

It’s alright

Pulling em’ skeletons from the dark at last

Only making me find never has a road been wrong

There’s no wrong roads as my life travels on

No wrong roads for this traveling soul

Life spins about the highs and lows just the same

And the best thing in living, is earning the PEACE found in the morning sun–RISE!

(it’s all in morning sunrise, when I thank and greeting GOD…peace at last has come to me)

Heart bent over simple human fusion strayed

Complicated games, I never understood the worth of the connection failed

And yes, em’ SWEET SWEET DREAMS, are filled with burning passionate needs

Still they can’t force themselves of anybody else, who’s rolling with their soul all alone and well

A blanket and some dope blind conviction, guilty me PLEASE!

I’m still given them what they want, “The Show Must Go On” right?

So it really doesn’t matter about the consequences now-time has been expired what could be an end

And the way my fire is burning: NO one, no one can do me wrong in life!

-chorus-

Bridge:

Live and learn

Family and friends, all the loving moment seem to past -with time

Being so occupied, with em’ suspicious minds, trying trying trying to BREAK GOD’S WORK, in me.

What a shame, hope they understand, what it mean to be FREE, Soul so free they  can’t break this will and leave up to Jesus to be the best place I’ll find PEACE…..(Peace in salvation, thus there’s no wrong road ever traveled by these feet, never never never…)

Was Obama’s Latin American Trip Successful???

WAS OBAMA’S LATIN AMERICAN TRIP SUCCESSFUL?
By: Paul Goree 3/24/2011

Keeping his State of The Union promise, President Obama’s recent trip to Latin America was an incisive move to reconcile past relationships, recognize developing nations, deliberate over current trade agreements and provide some much needed public relations for the United States and himself. Was this trip a success, and with the prevailing circumstances as they are, does this trip warrant any justification? Obama and his administration view Latin America as a world of emerging power, secure allies and developing economies, compared to the prior decades of which Latin America nations were plagued with civil war, drug cartels, and civil unrest. This is especially true of Brazil, whose favorable ties with the US diminished towards the end of Brazilian President Luzi Inacio Lula Da Silva. Lula Da Silva recognition of Palestine state based on 1967 boarders, during the ending months of his office; provoked harsh reaction with the US, who still believe only direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine can create peace. Obama and his administration are against the Palestine Nations world wide campaign for recognition, terming it Palestine B Plan- an alternative to dealing with Israel.

Relationship between the US and Brazil, under Lula Da Silva had deteriorated to the point, that Lula Da Silva commented that the US is behaving like an “Empire” and nothing had changed under the Obama administration, worth warranting. This of course cause the US to frown upon Lula Da Silva, but other factors such as Brazil’s attempt with Turkey to break a deal resolving the Iranian Nuclear Crisis, really place walls up between the US and Brazil. Despite the past issues Obama and new Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, were able to mend strained relations, as Obama toured poverty stricken shanty towns, played soccer and praised Brazil for its shift from dictatorship to democracy.

The primary purpose of this trip was to secure solid business opportunities for the United States, which some feel the President was to late in his arrival, considering China’s prevalent presence in Central and South America. In the face of China, Obama had to bureaucratically maneuver as he attempts to re-build old bridges and build new ones in the expanding Latin American market. For example it was only one year ago (12-8-2010) that Chile celebrated the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations with China. In 1970 China began what could come to be a very successful trade agreement with Chile, making Chile the first country in South America to acquire diplomatic agreements with China, resulting in bilateral Free Trade. Since that time, Chile-China have both benefited and enjoyed a prosperous exchange of culture, education, and economic boom. Chileans trade with China has increased drastically last year resulting in $17.7 billion US dollars. These increases have prompted Chinese President Hu Jintao and Chilean President Sebastian Pinera expanded business relations as the two met in Beijing on November 16, 2010 to sign 3 new economical agreements, with trade in agriculture, science, mineral development, light industry and household appliances. The cooperation has enable Chile to invest $120 billion dollars in its economy and to diminish poverty through out its nation.

Successes like this are what Obama and his administration are striving to obtain. But will these hopes materialize, is a question of unknown possibilities, considering some of these nations, bargaining request and American politics.
The bargaining request of some of these nations might seem possible to Obama, but with Congress bi-polar nature, filibustering is sure to paralyze the floor, unless Obama can triumph with his partisan’s notion. Some of this request includes Brazil, who desires a statement from President Obama, supporting Brazil for its bid to win a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, as Obama provided for India. Brazil would also like the US to end ethanol tariffs. It uses to be (pre 2010) that Brazil slapped the US with a 20% tariff on imported ethanol to increase its exported corn ethanol. But with global success of its sugar ethanol, Brazil felt confident to compete on the global exchange market and dropped import tariff. Thus now desire the US to drop exceedingly high import tariffs.

Chile on the other hand, would like the US to wavier Visa requirements for Chilean entrance into the US. This would give them immigration status equal to that of European nations. Chile would also like the US inspection and F.D.A. to streamline agricultural exports (removing prior restrictions if necessary) to an open US market. Considering the strain immigration trails going on within the US concerning immigration, I don’t think this is possible at this time.

El Salvador would like active US immigration reform and economical development to assist the ruined nation as it is recovering from a 12 year civil war that ended in 1992. El Salvador would like Obama to re-examine and ratify the US-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) that was put into effect 2006. El Salvador President Mauricio Fune stated that, “he is gratified that Obama included his small country in the tour of Latin America.” And hopes cooperative diplomatic agreements can be obtained in the near future. Funes was elected in 2009, after a civil war in the country over threw the US supported government in 1980. Since that time, El Salvador has been slowly developing and has raised the eye brows of Washington D.C. as Funes restored diplomatic relations with Cuba and as Mexican drug cartels found refuge in El Salvador. For their part, El Salvador believe the US is partial the cause of the escalated drug trafficking and fueled violence. They point to the fact that as the US’s War on Drugs succeeded with control of Colombian and Mexican drug traffickers; it caused the cartels to descend into El Salvador and Guatemala to re-assume business. The El Salvadorian government points out more successful negotiations from former Presidents Reagan and Bush, that support the El Salvador Armed Forces with the best that America had, and committed military advisers/security assistance to assist with El Salvador as it attempted to control the growing narcotic problem in their county. Reagan and Bush’s effort cost the United States $ 6 billion dollars, and were conceived as marginally successful.

When it comes to the bargaining request of Colombia, much is to be said of the poor inefficient bureaucracy of the United State Congress, as they attempt to maneuver around and on behave of advocates. Colombia would like President Obama to ratify the Trade Agreement which has been on the table since 2006. These agreements with both nations have been idle because of intense coalition of anti-free trade groups (US labor unions and human right advocators) who both raise Colombian human rights and fair labor right questions, each time the agreement hits the house floor. Although Colombia has made significant improvements, these groups argue that the nation still is abased from workers union violence, which is what the US advocates point out as reason to deny approval of any trade agreements. Unlike other arguments against free trade, where competition and foreign imports are the problem-Colombia already has 90% export duty free in the US, because of policies adopted in 1991, that aided to legally motivate alternative productions within the nation, compared to narcotic production. This benefiting policy to Colombia is a beast of burden to American farmers who have lost 50% of the market share, resulting in $800 million dollars.

With all of these bargaining request was it really possible for Obama to get anything accomplished in Latin America? Well the President believes that with some trade re-alignments US exports to Latin America could support 2 million US jobs in the future. The trip also show cased Central and Latin America as global markets (as if they needed the publicity). The trip has demonstrated to the world, the political achievements accomplished by Central and Latin America as they have transition themselves from dictatorships to democracies (I think this is most prevalent). Obama stated that “those who argue that democracy stands in the way of economic progress, must content with the example of Brazil.” I tend to agree with the President, but would include all the emerging Latin America nations. On a more personal level, this trip provided an excellent platform for public relations for Obama as a true leader as he effortlessly juggled, the trip, family, and Libya (job well done, Mr. President). However, many question if this trip really built any new bridges with regards to economic development, as compared to the swooshing agenda of China? We will have to wait and see how the Congress attends to the President’s plans for diplomatic agreements with Latin America? I personally believe this is our window of opportunity, if we miss this and ignore Latin America as we have done in the past, China will pick up were we neglected.

ILLUSIONS by: paul dewitt goree

“…Here’s to all of those who inspire in others hope, life, and LOVE. With no intent to do anything else but exist in peace. They truely prove their love to God, by serving him-through the joy and inspiration the ignite in others…” Paul Dewitt Goree

How do you wear it so well?

The truth of power set in motion

Composed by three sources above

Heaven bears witness of –

The love blessed upon you

You’re more than the worth of spoken words

Your actions are attractions amaze-

Yet all alone, but not afraid you dance

Like the Angel Gabriel -no fear,

As if you are favored by the crowd, as they laugh at your falls

Blindly you dance around –

Can’t express that gift,  from the highest power provided  to you

-CHORUS-

You chase illusions

Nobody else can see

You chase illusions

It’s more difficult than believing in dreams

You pull from the heavens

Love, Life, and Light

In darkness, forgiving all in an instance

Like after a rain storm

Your love is like a bright stars

That inspires us all

Hope, Love, and external life served!

Cause you chase illusions

Keep chasing those illusions

So tell me how does it feel to wear

The hatred so well –

It’s damnation that often leads to a death

Yet your ways are guided by sacred love

These ways are truth of life that comes from above

Your soul is a sacrifice-

The greatest joy is received by all that place eyes upon you

Turning doubt into love, that expands all the earth

Angels sing for you-and you never hear a sound

You simply revolve around something unseen-like you’re lost (dead)

Part 2 Sub-Cults In America

 

This trip to San Francisco has now been determined a back track to initial trip which started 5/2017 thru 5/2018.  Now with the rest of the unexpected TOUR OF CALIFORNIA, San Francisco is now consistent with San Diego, and Los Angeles. Except the sudden change of plans 8/2017 to not continue at all in California- no need to venture to Sacramento.

Seeming my presence in California (arrival 05/26/2015) was based on a fake phished message on Twitter. The message appeared 3 consecutive days.  The first being from Bill Gates, then Melinda Gates and finally  on the 3rd day the Gates Foundation .The message stated… ‘If you feel your life has been interrupted, don’t think of it as interruption…think of it as being CATAPULTED in a new direction.’ Thus I decided to take the phished message seriously. This account, which is my original Twitter account, is currently not accessible.

It wouldn’t make a difference to me-seeming I have nothing to gain nor lose. And since I began the disowning of myself from my family in 2013-as explained to some, my ‘out of control substance use’ had gone too far. I felt the distance would be better appreciated. Than to have my family go through repeat occurrences regarding substance abuse in our families past. 2013 was the perfect time to start family closure-seeming no responsible explanation was going to be accepted by me, regarding events that occurred in Phoenix, AZ (2011-2015) that mimicked Las Vegas, NV (1999-2011). As if some collective was seeking answers that would provide them an advantage.

I knew my family would understand and is keen enough to question so many DISCREPANCIES that seem to follow me. Which have no CLOSURE. From this understanding I know my family is able to determine the truth. I’d fathered die now knowing that I did not surrender to the sub-cultural collective’s sensory manipulation as planned.

Now as then, I intend to hold stubbornly onto NO CLOSURE- and document in various ways the similar patterns of associated sub cultural collective mal intent, as I perceive it.  These patterns have been consistent in my life (since 1999) and the lives of others as they, explained their stories to me.

Another factor today (9/23/2018) due to similar street shake ups that usually only results in a trickle of a change.  I have decided to accelerate my deterioration by increasing usage – back to super high risk territory-thus nullifying all cognitive created thoughts of mine from being valid. THIS SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM SEEMING 20 YEARS OF QUASI NEGLECT HAS LEAD TO NO CLOSURE-I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK CLOSURE ON MY OWN. THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN WHERE I AM AND TOTAL LIFE EXPERIENCE DO NOT ADD UP.

It funny that this week (9/22/2018) DEEPAK CHOPRA stated on Twitter similar thoughts, regarding total living worth.  He stated “Every cell in your body embodies the repository of every bit of knowledge pertaining to the history of life on Earth” #Cosmic Consciousness).

THESE ARE MY REASONS FOR SELF DESTRUCTION RATHER THAN A JOHNNY COME LATE APPROACH BY WHICH THE PAST 20 YEARS HAVE BEEN PLANNED BY SOME SUB-CULTURAL COLLECTIVE, THAT GOES AGAINST MY LIFE ‘REPOSITORY’ THE DOPE DIP IN SHERM OR “HORSE SHIT METH SHERM” IS STILL INEFFECTIVE WHEN I’M THINKING INTEGRITY AND WORTH OF HONORABLE WORDS AND SOME STILL WANT TO PLAY GAMES AT OUR NATIONAL EXPENSE.

So as in 2013,   a YOUTUBE find that was PHISHED directly to me.  I CREATE a VIDEO titled ‘MYSTERIAN MAN’ to the song or band titled, ‘EASILY MISLEAD'(https://youtu.be/nkpdfJHZb9s) by which the true culprits knew that I am aware that neither they nor I am mislead. But as I attempt to express it to others through various means of communications it will be the equivalent of “the boy who cried wolf!”

Which is a joke among a small collective in Las Vegas 2002-2006, but isn’t so funny these days. Seeming whatever the Vegas Collective expected to achieve, they should know by now I am that expendable thus not worth any negotiation value.

If they really wanted effective change they would re-read TRI STATE DRUG DONATION AUCTION and MID-NIGHT COURT(http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2016/04/drug-auction-donation-day-midnight-court.html ) that I experienced while on a good hypnotic meth/sherm collective spiritual exchange of energies 5/2017 (where no one cheated like current mother fuckers-who fake it and will fuck themselves out of existence in the end).

The only difference I would change is, since some people still have a habit of dropping an 8 ball or 1/4 oz of meth on the streets, (that is not within the jurisdiction of the court nor are the assistants to all enforcement operatives) to control jurisdictions of substance value/dollars and control prior inmates and users. How about they be ordered to continue dropping those packages until they are found by ‘targeted unknown persons’ who will never find them. Even when they’ve dropped a ton of meth-they must continue dropping, until ‘targeted unknown persons’ stumble upon one of these 8 ball- 1/4 oz  packages. Uhm the streets will then be saturated with “Marker Dope” as detailed in California Drug Dealer Liability Act (https://law.justia.com/codes/california/2005/hsc/11700-11717.html) (if it’s not phished on the internet or print. As detailed by Franklin Foer -Reality Ended- Atlantic Magazine 5/2018 https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/05/realitys-end/556877/).

Thus since I am a dead expendable citizen who is disgruntled by some events which have been consistent since 1999. My eventual death should be no surprise. I refuse to be the prawn between Civic sub-cultural collectives (which becomes ‘deep city state’ efforts) and various American ‘righted’ sub-cultural collectives. Which have an American right  to exist-but not with my personal involvement or non-consent to be associated. Then to base it on their  DEMAND, as if their right are valued more than mines or any other American. Especially when I intend to not be involved willingly with those that manipulate affiliation “just because”.

To be a Timothy McVeigh copy- cat and do Federal Felonies and get away with it (as expressed by one member of a harassing sub-cultural collective member 06/2018 in Los Angeles) yes this is the total immature extent of some sub-cultural collectives by which I have no interest.

Sub-Cults In America

 

From 1992-2018 I have been observing the drug chart standard in the United States.  In 1994 while attending University of New Mexico. The Dean of Sociology, also taught a class on collective substance use factors on the macro society. The Dean Professor assigned us the courses reading assignment. Which was the work of ########## titled ########.

This work presented for the first time. Effects of sub-cultural substance collectives. It resulted in the closing of the New Jersey City Police Department unresolved cases of teenage suicide collective dearth’s  The professor mentioned that it would be a great focus for some us to look into, seeming it provided observations, testimonials that provide insight into substance use collective behavioral factors.
Las Vegas (1999-2011) was the strangest place with so many inconsistent and awkward beliefs. Some of those beliefs I felt were dangerous to the public. They resulted in a false created urban myth. Ex. A group of people were told that the Miranda Rights were no longer on effect.

I challenged the statement, but it seemed that the other 3 simply believed it. When asked why I didn’t believe the urban myth was not true. I stated “If that were the truth then this nation would be rioting this very moment.”

It’s false statements like comments about the Miranda Right’s, that Franklin Foer details in his work ‘Reality Ends’ (.There are sub-cultural collectives that have saturated our American society, thus creating doubt. Their manipulation of our sensory receptors has been an extreme factor: that all data (news, TV, radio, movies, and books) can no longer be trusted as vaild. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/05/realitys-end/

I remember 2007, when the “radio” came on. I recall not believe what was being expressed to me, by some that befriended me. They were not physically present and represented themselves as a review conscious moral board. I termed them “The Celestial Board”. They remained silent and only continued their agenda (convincing me that they were real). This was one of many re-conditioning attempts by the collective.

The invisible audio continued. Events such as baseball games, television, radio, magazines, books especially the internet. Seemed to be altered/dub-over to merge me within it. As if it was personally for me.

I at first could not handle it. It seemed to increase in volumes. I internalized a strategy by which I focused my thoughts -demanding my mind to remember everything that I could from college pertaining to thought process and memory. I wanted to find evidence that validated whether the audio was internal or e eternal. If external I could relax a little. I determined it was external.

This helped me keep my mind straight as the audio and people’s actions began to increase and be more elaborate. Incidents such as walk-ways in apartments or down stairs apartments with secret passages to upstairs apartments. These where utilized for surveillance and reconditioning. The reconditioning was done with whispers as the person hide.

I remember statements such as “I’m going to put my mind, in your head and then control your body.” Talks of puppets and voodoo dolls, being used to control people. These types of discussions were meant to desensitize a person.

Some people started talking about the symbolic representation of the white cars and black cars. This subject never dissolved from 2001-2015 in Las Vegas and Phoenix. In 2015 I relocated to San Diego, and while doing Cal-Works, I was asked by an SSD Behavioral citizen: “What I thought about the senior citizens driving white cars or black cars, with their young adult grandchildren?”

I told him I thought such talk wasn’t tweeter’ talk. Ge got mad and began to justify his usage of meth from the age of 15. His arrest by ’51 Jump Street’ type agents at his high school in San Diego, CA.
His juvenile justice sentence. Then his adult penitentiary time for distribution, manufacturing and possession of meth. He did 20 years- 2 different sentences.

I informed him that I sorry that labelled him a tweeter. But that’s my way of screening people who ask me question about meth and its sub-cultural collective. I then proceeded to question him with a self-determinate, strength base, empowerment discussion. I asked him the following questions.

1)  When the white/black cars approach you. Do they stop and honk their horn at you?
1) He relied–No

2)  When they are parked near you do they point their finger or shout out to you-thus identifying you as a meth user?
2) No

3) Do you ever see them with a cell phone? Perhaps calling the police?
3) No

4) Do they ever prevent you from continuing smoking meth while they are present?
4) No

I asked him to think about how he feels-regarding his ‘No’ answers and their possible intent towards him. He thought for a moment and said “they only made me more uncomfortable.”
I asked him did he think they were effective. He paused and then started laughing stating, “No”-seeming I still continued to smoke. They were more like a nuance trying to intimidate him.”  He then smile wider having realizing he has control of how others can attempt to make him feel.

The countering sub-cultural collectives actions against adult users, is a serious issue that should be looked into. Ordinary citizens are relentless as they passively harass behavioral diagnosis citizens and regular citizens. They may not perceive their actions as dangerous. But those actions are often unattended to by the municipal. Users are mire unlikely to make a compliant, as they are passively assaulted.

Identifying the culprits is very difficult. Yet their patterns are distinctive. They hide behind microphones, using Bluetooth receivers that are small and hidden. They attempt to socialize with suggestive symbolic dramatized serials. They seem to have negative thoughts and feelings towards non-procreation. Which is detailed in constant guilt trip conditioning. These are passive measures of brain washing.

The extreme could me mental culprits with irrational statements and beliefs that lead them to seek locate their new victims and place them through a mental nightmare. Their victims are usually new users. Not yet completely conditioned to the culprit’s sub-cultural collectives beliefs.

It is as if they have forgotten they are Americans and like their substance using collective. Have rights that protect their individual development and the use of Liberty to be all that they can be. At no time can one American disregard another American freedoms of existence. This is our best collective reward, seeming it is a learning mechanism.

Ghost Writer

There’s a tale, that I must speak
18 years of bitter defeat
Collective trust now rivalries
Broken swords and stolen shields
You’ve taken all, but can’t take my life
Now the drum beats
Rise – spirits- rise
Let the sun light radiate
Only Jah can save us now
The tale begins in Africa
Where a shaman deed his worth
The full moon of truth witnessed him
The honor of betrayal under scored
And he was blessed by Jah one pray of fate
What he could not take above
He buried deep into the Earth
For his generations to call upon
They sang his song- whenever evil came upon them
They sang ” Rise spirits rise, great spirits rise
Your ancestors need you, 2018!!!”

 -Chorus-

The Ghost writer he writes

Between the lines of discrepancy  

Removing lies of deceit- truth be found

The Ghost writer writes

Oh he writes, of hell he writes

The Ghost writer he writes

Vertigo to common view

Where there is no soul- no love be found

The Ghost writer writes

Oh he writes, of hell he writes

I’ll protect my silent worth
Cursed social civilities
Non-defensive we’ve crossed uncertainties
Now we chose our weaponry
All the flames in the fire burn
No Peace like once we gentle lived
You have risen indignity 
Rotten honor – broken secret will
Buccaneers we face you now
To die we will find the highest pride
There’s no laughter in your game – no joy
History will reveal my deed – by which you manipulate
You believe what you believe
As blood flows from your lineage tree
Lost effort- lost integrity
You’ve lost your soul in machinary

-REPEAT CHORUS-

-Bridge-

Upon the setting of the sun, the spirit vows

The evil victory would verse mal witnesses

They’ve found trickery has fooled innocence

They prey on bairn souls

Yet the Universe protects it’s tapestry 

While the lineages battle long

Great worth seize the Higher Love

To vanquished all their souls from Earth

So you believe what you believe?

The shaman rose up from the sun, indeed

He dried the River of Belief

So Jah could expand him once again

CURSED ANGELS

 

I don’t think they understand
They are not the only soulful powers on this earth
They perpetrate this “Living Thing” (Genesis 2:7)
With laughter of unrighteous love
They betray the common good
They manipulate like ghost to fool
And what would be their purpose will?
Deception of God, to strangle his breath of life in us

-Chorus-

Ride on the wind
Broken wings of Angels, sin
Trying to raise your souls 
Up above to get that HIGHER LOVE
Soon you’ll be finding out
Your game has failed in joy
Never believe them
Never hear them
Only speak of them
With prays for their wrecked souls
Go away, go away, go away
Let the wind blow you away, so far away, go away
You cursed angels 
You’re cursed for all deeds done
So cursed for fooling Jesus
You’re cursed for bending minds
You’re cursed for every-every soul you’ve crossed.

There’s no ‘perfection’ by which you’ll ever be
Within your own hearts
You fear integrity -ya game weak
So you must rely on wicked mind games
To be remembered, to survive
Full of destructive negative
Vibes that lock you into deep to live
Your not alive, no more
Can’t save nobodies soul
You’ll find your collective wrong

GRID LOCK SAN FRANCISCO—Civic Civil Liability

 

San Francisco let’s not pretend, that grid lock in this city/county, regarding housing and homeless citizens has not been a reality for the past 15 years. Worst than this grid lock reality, is the timeline/history of my 1 year residence in the city/county of San Francisco. Which documents the events of housing/homelessness I have been confronting since 2008.  Especially from H.U.D. DC, with it’s poor decision to refer my grievance to regional H.U.D, San Francisco for a grievance against South West Behavioral Services case managers, Margaret Finn and Johnny Garcia.  So my arrival May 2017 was already hexed with civic bureaucracy, that would not place me nor my complaints/posting in favorable light. In fact, some might think, my whining is excessive, with invalid accusations.  But then how I’m living this experience and how it is being comprehended might be two different things all together. Or worst PHISHED!

When I arrived in San Francisco, I felt that the Homeless Citizen 90 day Shelter Bed program was questionable. Seeming it nor any other civic operations has able body Transitional Homeless Citizen Programs. They simply provide 90 days, and services such as employment, conventional housing, social security disability, medical, behavioral referrals. But no full 2 years Homeless Citizen Transitional Development Programs.  Seeming 311 is a city/county provided service, by which city/county tax dollars pay for it. The 311 90 day Shelter Bed Programs seems to be inefficient when dealing with the concerns and totals  needs of citizens at the cost of all citizens.  Whereas private enterprise business, could say but never do, they can afford to lose a customer. 311 and all other Civic operations, can never say-“They can afford to lose a citizen”.  Yet they have lost me and perhaps others due to inefficiency and consistent procedural discrepancies.

The Grid Lock I have experience being a homeless  citizen in San Francisco for one year; has reached its worst as I prepare to leave the county/city.  My story is as follows: I was discharged from a respite 4/20/2018. I was admitted to the respite 03/02/2018.  I was admitted to General Hospital San Francisco 02/19/2018/ – I was discharged 02/21/2018. For some reason which my doctor does not understand, the problem with my discharge which was reckless and rapid.  I was discharged to a shelter for only one day.  My doctor then looked into why I was not discharged into a respite considering, my operation was a cervical spinal operation and it takes up to 90 days for full recovery.  6 of those 9 days in another shelter (via the shelter reservation program). I spent 3 of those days on the streets, including 2/22/2018 the day after the surgery.

At this point all seemed fine until 4/20/2018 when I discharged from the respite. I called 311 on 4/20/2018 to accept my 90 Shelter bed.  I called late and there were only two choices, Dolores #1 and Dolores #2. I chose Dolores #2 for personal reasons posted August/September 2017.   On 4/28/2018 I decided to call 311 and see if I could relocate/transfer to another shelter.  The reason for my request was that seeming 90 days for full recovery had not pasted, a top bunk was not a good option for me, and thus I was going to need a bottom bunk. The 311 operator basically informed me that ‘ once a decision is made as to which shelter the client desires. It can not be change.’ He suggested I talk to the Dolores #2 staff and see if arrangement could be made. In the past 311’s suggest only resulted several forms to be filled out and verified by a doctor, by which a decision would not be made within 90 days. Thus I found not need to take the suggest seriously. Instead I asked, “How could I make a reservation at Providence?” The 311 operator informed me that I would have to end my current/new 90 day shelter bed reservation (72 hours) and then request a 90 day shelter bed, placing me at the bottom of the list again. At that time, I could then request a shelter bed at Providence and if one was available at the time of this change, then it would be provided.

Since that conversation ended, all I kept reflecting about was that back in Nov 2017, I started to prepare for my relocation from San Francisco to Los Angeles. And considering the inconsistent public service of housing and homeless citizen housing/sheltering in San Francisco, all I can think is GRID LOCK-System Error Somewhere in SF-GRID LOCK-System Error Somewhere in SF-GRID LOCK-System Error Somewhere in SF-GRID LOCK-System Error Somewhere in SF-

I recently did an assessment for PTSD by which new hypothesis question the effect of day to day stress on PTSD. The new considerations at this point is a new program titled REPS-Resolving  Psychological Stress. I was not chosen for the research, but during the assessment the discussion of my PTSD from an assault upon my eye and face (random act of violence) in Los Angeles came up for further review.  Yet as I was answering the questions and reflecting upon how I feel about the incident, by which the Police Dept was informed after the expiration for random acts of violence from a hospital emergency room. A citizen has 24 hours to get to an emergency room, when it involves a random act of violence and or assault that is not reported or doc’d by the police themselves. I arrived at the hospital 38 hours later. Thus the admitting nurse and the hospital social worker did not know how to attend to my admittance. They call the police just to be on the safe side. As the police was taking my statement, he noticed that  my timing/date was off. When he asked “Exactly when did this incident happen?” The hospital and I both informed him of the accurate date. He then went on to explain to the hospital staff, that this  report is going anywhere, because the date is printed on the complaint from the 911 operator when the call is coming from the hospital and or involves any act of violence by which the state takes on responsibility for the victim. He was upset at them for not realizing this and he was upset with me for not cooperating fully.

Thus the PTSD from my injury from another citizen is important. But I think I have experience more day to day stress leading to incidences by which PTSD occur from the CIVIC Operation/Civic Employees.  My Paul Goree -TIME LINE of CIVIC OPERATION ADMINISTER INCIDENCES:

1# Las Vegas, NV 2009: Clark County Social Service Case Manager, upon the statement of another client. Proceeded with housing fraud upon me. The request was denied by her superiors, but made me seriously question my future in Social Service/Sociology. Seeming NASW Ethics demand that case manager client relationship be attended to. Thus no case manager/social worker should ever take the complaint from one client against another client (seeming these clients are CITIZENS).

2# Las Vegas, NV 2011: Labor Commission of Nevada/USA.  I fully understand the purpose of the Labor Commission and its regards toward protecting the employment rights of all citizens. Thus if one of us allow our employer to take advantage of us: it effects all of us. Yet at the same time I can not let my own opinion and Liberty be pushed aside for what usually result in legislative changes. One year before the incident with the Labor Commission placing me against my prior “quasi” employer, I wrote a post titled WHOSE TIME IS IT ANYWAY? https://paulgoree.wordpress.com /tag/part-time-employment/ 

3# Phoenix, AZ 2012-2014: South West Behavioral Service and Margaret Finn/Johnny Garcia.  Finn and Garcia were not responsive to client nor intra-Civic Operations to provide preventive measures regarding the housing of Homeless Citizens with the Housing of SSD Homeless Citizens with a Federal HUD Categorical Grant. http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2014/09/client-profile-debate-unethical-actions.html

4# San Diego, CA 2015: Obama Phone and California Lifeline vs. SafeLink.  Safelink services provided me a second line of service on my account.  Which was immediately denied by California Lifeline (which cancelled the second line of service) and Safelink Corp. itself. The guideline by which California Life Line operate does not provide two lines of service. Even through the system by which Safe Link and California Life Line will provide 2 lines of service. Some how a rep. approached me and offered me the phone. Which I sort of agree with the rep. Seeming since eligibility is based on financial need. The need of adult clients with children would be ground upon which a second line of service should be provided. So that parents can keep in touch with their children.

5# Los Angeles, CA 2015: Los Angeles Public Library Civic Employee and The State of California. Till this day I do not understand how a civic employee believes that when they are on the clock (of the tax payers) that they are regular civic citizens. Only active military has 24/7 detail. Thus this case still baffles me. http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2016/10/regarding-issue-with-los-angeles-city.html

6# San Francisco, CA 2017-2018: 311 90 Day Shelter Beds, San Francisco Social Service GA Program, Transition Homeless Programs. Since no Homelesss Citizen Trespass Option without Criminal Intent exist currently in the California Revised Code. Homelessness is going to be really an issue with California as the Homeless Citizen population increase nationally. In San Francisco it seems that 311 90 Shelter Beds (paid by city/county taxes) are up against San Francisco Social Service GA program who also pays for bed with client award. Yet still there is a huge GRID LOCK situation going on with San Francisco and it’s citizen base population, who are HOMELESS. Don’t forget San Francisco that ‘SHELTER’ is the last accomplishment we as a society must accomplish as detailed in A.Maslow Theory of social upward mobility to survive.http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2014/11/part-two-maslows-theorem-great-society.html
Here is a link that currently  explain the GRID LOCK of San Francisco homeless situation. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/As-rain-comes-down-more-S-F-homeless-shelters-6773032.php

So is it me or is it the nature of the beast: CIVIC BUREAUCRACY. Regardless one fact I won’t stand by idly and let our state and nation slowly be minimized-as if nothing is going on. Thus it is imperative that we Americans understand the CIVIC can never express sentiments that suggest…”We can afford to lose a citizen!” Because we are the very citizens who are the people for the people as a collective state/nation.

So 311 San Francisco, do you or do you not allow transfers? If not why offer a service that is only going to not be particle to a citizen base that is ‘TRANSIENT” in their collective individual nature of existence. The inconsistent or sudden changes by which Homeless Citizen will often use, is not a measurement of their behavior. It is a measurement of the changes in society, by which the civic legislation has not caught up with. The sad affair is the stress it causes on the citizens, both homeless and not! Is our civic municipalities ready to take on the LIBEL responsibility that is associated with the stress that they place upon citizens?  How do we begin to measure this stress? Are Tax payers going to want to accept the payment of taxation for Civic stress created by civic employees and the civic municipal?

The following is from my Chiespirit blog, explaining stress, the importance of Stress Management.

CHI-ESPIRIT
Posted By Paul Goree 12/10/2017
Consciously acknowledging all that is in existence upon the earth-as created by God (the creator of the universe). Through Chi-Espirit we can develope a natural appreciation and respect for one another: by which we enable ourselves to LOVE God (by severing him) and Love one another!

How stress affects your health

Opening by Paul Goree 12/11/2017 San Francisco

 

It is so critical that we understand and acknowledge the stress we cause upon each other as we interact. This stress minimizes us as it is a silent killing medical factor: that leads to strokes, heart attacks, and anxiety, paranoia and self-esteem issues. As we interact, we have the capability to consciously consider how our actions, words and thoughts might affect another individual, creating stress on them. By which they go throughout the day passing that stress and anxiety on to others. If it is know that proximity to someone who is happy with a positive perspective, can increase our attitude, cause us to be more positive. This is a great STRESS REDUCTION and collectively inspires positive growth and empowerment. As American our individualism is attacked daily, with negative comments. These comments may not be directed at us, but the reception of that negative comment towards someone else, has the same affect, considering we are a collective of individuals with individuals liberties. This enhances our liberties of what it is we want and can accomplish in this nation. Why would those who are directly linked to us, want to bring the collective down with negative comments.

Negative comments are intentional expression that aim to attack an individual’s liberty! They also linger in the conscious mind and causes passive stress. This passive stress grows and grows, leading to the worst paranoia. Why do we do this? My liberties and freedoms are vested in your liberties and freedoms and at this era of human history-we can consciously acknowledge this and decrease negative energy, thoughts, expression and passion verbal assault. We then can learn and grow from that by which we are linked. The individualism/difference is where we all have an advantage, to increase and cement our liberty.

The following is report is from the American Psychological Association, detailing the importance of recognizing the health dangers of stress. This is something that is very Chiespirit as it –makes us consciously consider our creation from God and how we are all linked as one. So let’s start consciously doing some things that are extreme POSITIVE. Knowing that negative energy will still and always be presence (Ying-Yang). But we can serve God by loving one another and helping one another come to higher understanding of our existence on this beautiful planet.

Stress: We’ve all felt it. Sometimes stress can be a positive force, motivating you to perform well at your piano recital or job interview. But often — like when you’re stuck in traffic — it’s a negative force. If you experience stress over a prolonged period of time, it could become chronic — unless you take action.

A natural reaction

Have you ever found yourself with sweaty hands on a first date or felt your heart pound during a scary movie? Then you know you can feel stress in both your mind and body.
This automatic response developed in our ancient ancestors as a way to protect them from predators and other threats. Faced with danger, the body kicks into gear, flooding the body with hormones that elevate your heart rate, increase your blood pressure, boost your energy and prepare you to deal with the problem.
These days, you’re not likely to face the threat of being eaten. But you probably do confront multiple challenges every day, such as meeting deadlines, paying bills and juggling childcare that make your body react the same way. As a result, your body’s natural alarm system — the “fight or flight” response — may be stuck in the on position. And that can have serious consequences for your health.

Pressure points

Even short-lived, minor stress can have an impact. You might get a stomach-ache before you have to give a presentation, for example. More major acute stress, whether caused by a fight with your spouse or an event like an earthquake or terrorist attack, can have an even bigger impact.
Multiple studies have shown that these sudden emotional stresses — especially anger — can trigger heart attacks, arrhythmias and even sudden death.¹ Although this happens mostly in people who already have heart disease, some people don’t know they have a problem until acute stress causes a heart attack or something worse.

Chronic stress

When stress starts interfering with your ability to live a normal life for an extended period, it becomes even more dangerous. The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate or irritable for no good reason, for example. But chronic stress causes wear and tear on your body, too.
Stress can make existing problems worse.² In one study, for example, about half the participants saw improvements in chronic headaches after learning how to stop the stress-producing habit of “catastrophizing,” or constantly thinking negative thoughts about their pain.³ Chronic stress may also cause disease, either because of changes in your body or the overeating, smoking and other bad habits people use to cope with stress. Job strain — high demands coupled with low decision-making latitude — is associated with increased risk of coronary disease, for example.⁴ Other forms of chronic stress, such as depression and low levels of social support, have also been implicated in increased cardiovascular risk. And once you’re sick, stress can also make it harder to recover. One analysis of past studies, for instance, suggests that cardiac patients with so-called “Type D” personalities — characterized by chronic distress — face higher risks of bad outcomes.⁵

What you can do

Reducing your stress levels can not only make you feel better right now, but may also protect your health long-term.
In one study, researchers examined the association between “positive affect” — feelings like happiness, joy, contentment and enthusiasm — and the development of coronary heart disease over a decade.⁶ They found that for every one-point increase in positive affect on a five-point scale, the rate of heart disease dropped by 22 percent.
While the study doesn’t prove that increasing positive affect decreases cardiovascular risks, the researchers recommend boosting your positive affect by making a little time for enjoyable activities every day.
Other strategies for reducing stress include:

• Identify what’s causing stress. Monitor your state of mind throughout the day. If you feel stressed, write down the cause, your thoughts and your mood. Once you know what’s bothering you, develop a plan for addressing it. That might mean setting more reasonable expectations for yourself and others or asking for help with household responsibilities, job assignments or other tasks. List all your commitments, assess your priorities and then eliminate any tasks that are not absolutely essential.
• Build strong relationships. Relationships can be a source of stress. Research has found that negative, hostile reactions with your spouse cause immediate changes in stress-sensitive hormones, for example.⁷ But relationships can also serve as stress buffers. Reach out to family members or close friends and let them know you’re having a tough time. They may be able to offer practical assistance and support, useful ideas or just a fresh perspective as you begin to tackle whatever’s causing your stress.
• Walk away when you’re angry. Before you react, take time to regroup by counting to 10. Then reconsider. Walking or other physical activities can also help you work off steam. Plus, exercise increases the production of endorphins, your body’s natural mood-booster. Commit to a daily walk or other form of exercise — a small step that can make a big difference in reducing stress levels.
• Rest your mind. According to APA’s 2012 Stress in America survey, stress keeps more than 40 percent of adults lying awake at night. To help ensure you get the recommended seven or eight hours of shut-eye, cut back on caffeine, remove distractions such as television or computers from your bedroom and go to bed at the same time each night. Research shows that activities like yoga and relaxation exercises not only help reduce stress, but also boost immune functioning.⁸
• Get help. If you continue to feel overwhelmed, consult with a psychologist or other licensed mental health professional who can help you learn how to manage stress effectively. He or she can help you identify situations or behaviors that contribute to your chronic stress and then develop an action plan for changing them.

Self Incrimination Testimonial Michael Moore Who???

via I Paul Dewitt Goree –Self Incrimination Testimonial —Michael Moore Who???

The second Michael Moore is even more unbelievable. He is the documenting film producer/director. The year was 2002-2003. Once again I had received some data about a person named Michael Moore. But this time I receive less data than before. Thus I had to research. I found out that the data provided was an American Express account. I then proceed to be Michael Moore’s personal assistant. I contacted American Express and requested a replacement card. I was told that this account was closed due to failed payment within a 90 day period. Seeming this account was not a revolving account, the only thing required was to pay off the entire balance (as always with these monthly total balance due American Express Accounts). I paid off the balance with the checking account that was already associated with the account. And requested the new card be expressed to me at the MGM Las Vegas. Luckily American Express had an brick and mortar location inside the MGM and when the card arrived the next day. I went into the American Express Kiosk bank and obtained the card. Which I then used for purchases, I donated to those in need.
