How Do We #Pay for Bernie's Vision of America? Easy

Some say that we can't afford an America that provides healthcare for all. An America where everybody has a decent school and can go to college debt free. An America with great infrastructure. An America where nobody goes hungry.

 

But we can easily afford all of this and much more.

First, we put in place a Wall Street sales tax. Almost every state has a sales tax for people purchasing things. So what makes Wall Street so special? It is special since it controls the United States Presidency and the Congress. But it doesn't have to be that way. We could put a 1 percent sales tax on every Wall Street transaction and provide trillions of dollars to the US treasury.

Secondly, we can end the endless wars and foreign intervention designed for merely for world domination. If we had not invaded Iraq we would have saved an estimated 3 trillion. Wars not only cost a lot of lives, they cost a lot of your money.

Thirdly, we could end military industrial welfare state. Now over 50% of our tax dollars goes to pay for the military and the debt from military interventions. That is a lot of trillions.

Finally, we could end corporate welfare. We could quit subsidizing corporations to send American jobs to other countries. We could demand that corporations pay their fair share in taxes as well as demand that corporations pay their workers a living wage so that the taxpayer doesn't have to subsidize workers with food stamps and other life line programs.

But this is a short list to provide trillions of dollars each year to easily pay for a more humane America. The America that Bernie Sanders is advocating. It costs nothing to the average taxpayer, but it definitely would provide that the super wealthy pay their fair share.

If #Hillary Clinton Told the Truth about Wall Street

 

Reporter: Mrs Clinton can you tell us a little bit about your speeches to Wall Street and why you think they were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Mrs Clinton: Well I told them that I would protect them and make sure they continued to do business as usual. They obviously paid that type of money as a pay off and to make sure I keep doing what they want me too. What are you stupid?

Reporter: Mrs Clinton are you OK? You are not on your talking points.

Campaign Manager: The interview is suspended. Listen you creep if you report any of this you are ruined. You understand? Obviously Mrs Clinton is not in her right mind right now. Let me have that tape.

Reporter: Yes sir.

Governor Snyder Enjoy #Flint Water in Prison

There once was a Michigan Governor named Snyder that allowed polluted water to be given to kids as if it was as healthy as apple cider. Although the Flint water and the cider had the same color it is true. The water sickened thousands of children as the Governor claimed no knowledge too. Some say he should resign. But he should be forced to drink the cider colored water in prison till he turns blue.

The Power of Intention

Why does it appear that we often fail even with the best of intentions?

If intentions were enough to achieve our goals, then everybody would have what they wanted. But what we want may not be what others want and we may not have the ability to bring about those intentions into our lives. People compete for power, prestige, and resources and they often have different desires and objectives. Many times our intentions are at odds with other personalities and forces so they don't seem to come to fruition.

But even though particular intentions may not appear to have much effect. Every intention is very powerful indeed. Every intention we have helps shape our character. They build our character even as certain types of foods contribute to health or disease of both body and mind. Although we may not be aware of our intentions manifesting, that doesn't mean that they haven't. Our intentions have  manifested into the type of person we are and will continue to manifest into the type of person we become.

Just as a drops of water will ultimately fill a bucket to overflowing, little by little, intentions steadily create our character.

That is the power of our intentions. They may not manifest to us, but they will certainly manifest in us.

So be mindful in your intentions and choose them wisely, their power is immense.

The Key to Your Destiny

 
 
There is no objective reality independent of us.

We experience the world we are capable of knowing or understanding. The various types of matter and energy exist as potentiality or probability until coming into contact with a knower (individual consciousness) capable of knowing it.
What does this mean for us?

It means that we are experiencing the world at this precise moment that we are capable of experiencing. The world will unfold into more profound and deeper levels of reality precisely when we develop the knowledge base to experience it. Our knowledge base grows with experience, thus our experiences (no matter how terrible) are the key to a greater level of understanding and a more expansive level of experience.

Our life is not a curse, no matter how miserable. Our life is exactly as it should be based on what we are capable of understanding at any given moment. As we expand our understanding, life will continue to unfold exactly as it should. In short, the key to our own destinies is found nowhere but in the present.

Haunted Houses or Haunted People?

  

 
I have been one of those people that have seen many ghosts at various times throughout my life. My present house appears to be inhabited by numerous other worldly beings. The above picture was taken on Halloween night about 6 or 7 years ago. If you look closely, you can see several ghostly figures looking out of our window. I took a photo of my wife outside of the window just before the kids arrived for "trick or treat." Looking out the window was a ghostly family that seems to inhabit the house that I presently live in. It looks as if they gathered for the photo. If you look to your left, you can also see an owl like figure with red eyes looking out of the window at the time the picture was taken.

When I first moved to my present house about 11 years ago, I was playing with my dog when I looked up and saw a little blonde haired girl with an older style dress looking at me. I was stunned since the girl appeared completely solid and there is no way she should have been in the house. When the little girl recognized that I could see her, she disappeared from my view. Over the years I have seen that little girl several times running down the hall of my house with just her lower body appearing to me. I have also seen shadow figures in this house, white orbs, heard numerous voices, and have witnessed unexplained physical phenomena too numerous to mention. In fact, about once a week something strange happens in this house. I have experimented with Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs) and have had running conversations with many of these entities (including that little girl).

But I happen to think that it is likely that these ghosts, spirits, or inter-dimensional entities are not just confined to certain houses or places. Rather I believe that it is more likely that there are certain people, families, groups of people, and even cultures that have more of an ability to connect with what is often described as "paranormal". I believe that it is those that are adept at using their right brain (creative and artistic people, intuitives, etc.,) or those that can equally utilize their right and left brain that are more apt to have these paranormal experiences. I have worked with several different cultures as a counselor and from my experience certain cultural groups are also more inclined to have these other worldly experiences.
After years of meditative practice, I have experienced some amazing events that would seem absurd to many people. Yet these experiences were clearly predicted for those that practice meditation and yoga by the Indian mystic Pantanjali well over 2000 years ago in his Yoga Sutras. I believe that meditation, like other mind expanding methods, allows a person to gain access to "realities" that are hidden from many in our materialistic Western culture. Traditional cultures, utilizing a right brain or whole brain approach, are able to tap into worlds that are dismissed by many modern people who have been taught to see the world from only one perspective.

So I believe that there are "haunted people", such as myself, and that their transcendental or mystical experiences need not be confined to certain places. But I do believe that there are certain places, such as my present "haunted house", that are more conducive for certain intuitive people to have these paranormal experiences.  We may be laughed at by some, but that laughter only betrays a lack of understanding of the complexities of existence and infinite number of relationships in which we all live, both seen and unseen.
So is it that places are haunted or is it that people are haunted? The answer from my understanding would appear to be both.

In One Moment

 

In one moment we can give Love.

In one moment we can give Understanding.

In one moment the universe was created out of a Loving intention to experience one moment.

One moment is all we have.
