. Usury is the legal term for charging excessive interest on financial loans. Usury came to the public's attention during the Great Depression, in the 1930's. Al Capone-style, back-alley loan sharks charged desperate people thirty-percent interest rates on loans. That was considered a serious crime and those caught went to jail. Today loan sharking (usury) is legal. The criminals have changed the laws and declared themselves to be immune from prosecution. They wear $1,000 suits and have offices in large, expensive buildings with their corporate names on the faces of the buildings. It's still illegal for you and me, as individuals, to charge any interest over ten percent, but some corporations are now charging as much as one hundred percent interest and that's perfectly legal. Credit card companies commonly charge you and your neighbors twelve to twenty percent and sometimes even over thirty percent.

The Anthill Analogy and The Ultimate Sacrifice |
||
|
. Imagine, for a moment, that you have created an ant colony in some far off corner of a distant forest somewhere in the backwaters of nowhere, and you have done so for the express purpose of having those ants build temples in which they bow down and worship you and beg you for favors. Does that make any sense? If it does, gather up your money and call me. I have a bridge in Brookline I'll sell you at a bargain price. The Origin of Worship: There is absolutely no evidence what-so-ever to support the belief that the source of the universe either wants, needs, requires, to be worshipped by human beings. The practice of worshipping God is a holdover from ancient times when humans believed that the Earth was flat like a three-layered cake, with heaven above the clouds and hell beneath their feet. People in those days believed God was an angry, fickle, vindictive, arbitrary, needy superhuman being sitting on a throne in a place above the clouds called heaven. They believed that God was constantly at war with another super-powerful, evil being, who was the evilest of evil, and who controlled a place beneath the earth's surface call hell. They believed that humans were victims in this war and that God demanded something from humans in order to get into God's heaven. They weren't sure what god wanted, but if he didn't get it, they, the unfortunate humans who didn't give it to him, would be turned over to the super veil being and burn in hell forever. They believed that natural disasters were acts of God intentionally punishing humans for not following God's orders. Man's knowledge of God: The scientific evidence, the Christian Bible, and the Muslim Koran all support the following conclusion: Humans know with provable certainty, absolutely nothing about God except that, what ever it is, it has a profound affect upon us. Symbolically speaking, man's knowledge of God is comparable to an ant's knowledge of humans. Another approach to God: The evidence seems to indicate that honor, respect, humility, and gratitude are a much more practical ways to relate to Source. The evidence also indicates that humans are part of, intimately related with, and co-creators with that Source we call "God." One might also consider stewardship of the Sacred mother Earth (caring for the home that has been provided for us) to be a much more practical and valid approach to Source.
. The Ultimate Sacrifice: Now, think yourself back in time and imagine yourself as a child living in an arid, semi-desert environment where the collection of a few stone and clay huts were considered to be a town and the average home was a tent. Imagine yourself living among superstitious sheep hearers who believed that the Earth was flat like a three-layered cake with Earth in the middle, God and heaven above, and Satan and hell below. Imagine your self living among men who considered women as property, and who cut out the clitoris of young females so that as adults they wouldn't desire sex and be unfaithful to their male owners/husbands. Imagine your self living among men who believed that killing animals and burning them was a way to appease the Gods. In such a culture, what would be the ultimate sacrifice? The answer is: "To kill one of your own children as a sacrifice to God." **1
. In such a culture, who could make the biggest of the biggest sacrifices. Well, none other than God, Himself. According to Christian theology, God turned the tables on humanity and murdered his own son as a sacrifice to humanity and to prove that He (God) loves you.**2 So now you find yourself and everybody you know indebted to an extremely powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, fickle, angry, insecure, needy, vindictive, vengeful, son-murdering God who is giving you orders. God's orders are coming to you through an old man wearing fancy, expensive clothes, who lives in opulent wealth while you and almost everyone else lives in poverty. Everyone bows to and respects this revered leader and his agents. This revered old man sends God's orders out to you by way of his agent, your local priest, and in addition to the orders, the priest warn you of the dire, eternal-damnation, hell-fire-and-brimstone consequences of doing anything contrary to what you are being told to do. Even something as simple as questioning a priest's authority is punishable by banishment from heaven and eternal condemnation to hell. Imagine, for a moment, that you are an ignorant, unschooled sheepherder's child who has never seen anything that's more than 30 miles from the place you were born. Given the above set of circumstances, what would you do? Would you make waves? Hardly! You'd bow down along side everyone else and pray for favors. The
Cycle Continues:
And if and when you survived to
adulthood in that environment, and
had children of your own, what would
you have taught them about
God? And what do you
suppose they would have taught their
children. In this manner
ancient beliefs have been carried
along for
generations. Many
religious-related beliefs that had
their origins in antiquity are still
being taught to children today as if
those beliefs were provable
facts. Do you suppose it's
possible to bring one's mind into
religion and look for any evidence
that can support beliefs in these
ancient stories? How would the
present-day evidence alter these
stories?
**2
Did you ever wonder why
it's always someone else or someone else's child who is sacrificed or placed in
harm's way? Why is it that those who demand that sacrifices
be made or wars be waged never stand up and say, "Sacrifice me."
or "I'll go. you stay here and tend to home life."? . |

. In just governments, those in charge must make critical, life-and-death decisions on a regular basis. The commonly used solution is called "The Rule of Expendable Humans." Ask any military officer how he/she deals with the fact that in a great many military actions, civilians and military personnel are placed in positions of extreme danger where some will almost certainly be injured or killed. Ask any combat veteran if he was concerned about civil rights of his adversary when he faced that critical decision, "kill or be killed." "The Rule of Expendable Humans" also applies in many non-military aspects of life. There are dangerous jobs where people knowingly put themselves at risk. In building bridges, dams, and high rise buildings, people risk their lives and some die in the process. Many people have died testing airplanes. There are also situations in which the human who is about to be sacrificed is either unaware of his position or is placed in the sacrificial position against his/her will. For example, the cost of fixing a dangerous highway is pitted against the lives lost by not repairing it. As another example, many people are exposed to toxic substances without being informed of their exposure. Individual human lives are sacrifices every day for the collective good. So the real question is not shall we sacrifice someone's life. The real questions are: What is the goal? Whose lives will be sacrificed? How many lives is this goal worth? And most importantly, who makes these types of decisions? Expendable Humans are a fact of life, like and like it or not, that's just the way life is. There is also the issue of sacrificing the health and well-being of others for the sake of making a profit. Is killing someone by exposing him or her to toxic chemicals an less criminal than openly shooting them with a gun? How does the concept of sacrificial humans relate to corporate profits? Unfortunately, under the present corporate business structure, corporate profits win almost every time. That no longer needs to be so.

. A cash cow is a term used to describe a highly lucrative activity -- a product or business that has an unusually high rate of return (profit margin) . It's something that brings in a lot of money with relatively time or little effort. The term is a metaphor for a dairy cow that, once purchased and paid for, can be milked regularly at relatively little cost and minimum maintenance. When one examines the activities of the very
small, but very determined and very vocal minority of right-wing,
ultra-conservative Christian leaders, one finds that they have two very
profitable cash cows, both of which are based on illusions, and neither
of which have any scientific basis whatsoever. One is
called The Rapture° and the other is their forced motherhood war. Another area filled with cash cows is the
multi-billion-dollar, illegal drug industry. Here's
just one example: Marijuana is a plant that grow wild and
can be planted almost anywhere by almost anyone. Prior to the economic meltdown
of 2008-2009, the leaves and flowers from this plant sold for more per
ounce than gold. . |

The Beginner's Mind |
|
. The Beginner's mind refers to a process in which a person temporarily suspends his/her beliefs and disbeliefs and simply holds all ideas presented as the working hypotheses. The idea is held as neither true or false. The goal is to open one's mind and entertain the possibility that there could be more in the universe than one is presently aware of. This is done by looking at idea, concepts, thought, and the like that make no sense and neither accepting nor rejecting them. The process involves just being with the idea, concept, or experience and then becoming aware of how that idea fits or does not fit with the evidence and with one's personal experience. The holder of the beginner's mind examines the evidence, then goes into his own heart and draws his/her own conclusions. The conclusions are then held not as “The Truth” but rather as a “ A Most Probable Reality.” And, if and when a theory doesn’t prove out, the holder of the beginner's mind doesn’t bother or take the time to tell himself how stupid he was for not seeing it’s flaws sooner. He simply lets this new knowledge expand his awareness and moves on. That way a person can change his mind as often as he likes and never get into the self-deprivation mode of call himself wrong.

A scapegoat is someone or something used as a projection target for the unwanted situation, condition, or aspects of one's self. Someone on whom to place the blame. When something goes wrong, there is the tendency to blame someone else, throw them out, and then declare the problem to be solved. It’s called “scapegoating” and it comes from an ancient Middle Eastern practice in which a ritual was conducted to cast all evil onto a goat and then drive the goat out of town. The ritual is still alive and well, today. It has; however, changed form. Today, humans use each other for their scapegoats in this ritual. In psychological terms, the practice is called projection. It stems from the findings that, “Men [and women] hate in others those things -- and only those things -- which they despise in themselves.” It stems from the tendency to disown aspects of one’s own personality. It’s a form of denial and self-deception. "I

The Age of Reason: |
This is the age at which a child begins to think for him/her self and ask questions about what he/she is told. (typically at about seven years) Prior to age seven the child simply takes in whatever he/she is told and believes it as if it were true. Theta brain waves predominant the consciousness of a young child. |

Be-Do-Have Versus Have-Do-Be: |
The common belief is that if I have __this or that__, then I can __do such and so__ and then I can be __something I'm not at the moment__ . For example: If I have money, I can do what I want to do then I'll be happy. The laws of the universe tell us that creation process is the reverse of the above. One first chooses to be whomever/whatever. Then from the state of being, one take the appropriate actions. And the result will be having/experiencing __this or that__ . In our example, "If I am happy as I am (accept myself as I am), I can do whatever it takes to learn and maser my chosen craft, and then I'll have money. |

. A belief box is not a physical box; it's a person's mental mindset, and it controls his/her behavior and dictates his/her level of health. A belief box is an invisible prison made up of stories that have been accepted by a person as real, true, and factual. Regardless of whether of not the beliefs represent reality, they are accepted by the subconscious mind as real and the person lives his or her life as if their beliefs actually were real. In the Christian Bible, when Jesus referred to the "demons" which He removed via his healing, he was most likely referring to beliefs that limited the person's life. Think of a belief box as a barrier between the known and the unknown, between the possible and the impossible. Think of it as a an invisible prison you put yourself in because of a belief. ' The most pervasive (and most destructive) examples revolve around religious beliefs. For example, are you inside or outside of God? An another example.,there are three widely held, mutually exclusive religious beliefs (one-life-ism, ' reincarnation, and atheism) that dictate the behavior of billion of people. (that's billions with a "B") Only one of these beliefs can be real which leaves literally billions of people basing extremely important, life altering, Earth-altering, soul-altering decisions on false beliefs. Some even commit murder and spread mayhem in the name of a god about which they can prove absolutely nothing. When asked why they engage in vile and criminal behavior, the common answer is: "I do as I do because that's what God wants me to do." The fact that their beliefs are unsupported by the physical evidence doesn't seem to matter to these people. The fact that their beliefs are contradicted by other religions doesn't seem to matter, either. We all have beliefs that, in one way or another, limit our lives. Commonly religious beliefs dominate, control, and sometimes overwhelm the believer's life. For example, what were the beliefs that compelled the men who hijacked the airplanes that were intentionally crashed into the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001? What were the beliefs that compelled those who murdered doctors and nurses because they provides abortion services? As another example, examine the beliefs that dominate the anti-abortion movement. ' For more clarity on belief boxes, readers are refereed to: Self-created significances ' 42scs Selective Perception ' 42sp A Belief Box as a Prison ' ch101-76b An Analysis of a Typical Anti-abortion Promoter's Proclamation ' 48 and to: An Interview With "The Devil",° Topic # 23, Separation of church & State / The Beginner’s Mind and Topic # 85, More of the Same / Do the Same Thing Harder.
. If you really want to know about thinking outside the box we invite you to the website titled Paul's View - On all kinds of things at http://www.paulsview.com/thoughts.htm#Box ' Here's an example of his work. It's called: "Thinking Outside the Box" "I could never understand what people mean when they say, "Think outside the box." Where's the box? I didn't know I was in a box. If I am in a box, how did I get there? If I'm not in a "the box" how did I get out of it? Is it my box or someone else's box? Before you start thinking outside the box it would be a good idea to find out what box you are in.""From all I know, boxes are meant to put things in. We are raised from the very beginning to put our toys back in the box. When we get older we are told to put our tools back in the tool box. Everything has its box. The box may be called shelves, or drawers, or cubbyhole, or whatever, but they are still the box in which certain things belong. It's the old idea that "everything has a place and everything in its place". Things outside their box are considered to be out of place, making a mess. Do those who promote thinking outside the box really want us to make a mess with our thoughts, or have messy thoughts?""The implication seems to be that the answer will be somewhere "out there." But there is an awful lot of room "outside the box." So do we start our "outside the box" thinking by looking close to the edges of the outside, sort of in familiar territory, or far away? And what if I spend all my time looking outside the box and the answers were inside all the time?""I think that those who tell you to "think outside the box" are in the box themselves. What's more, they know the answers are in the box. They want you to waste all your time thinking outside the box so they will come up with an answer and you will not. That way they will get the promotion and not you.""Now, have I been thinking outside the box, or what ?"Reference: . |

. In any given situation that involves a decision, there is something to gain and something to lose on each side. Comparing what can be gained to what can be lost is, in the gambling world, called the bet-to-pot ratio. The same principle applies in other areas of life. For example, would you have sex with someone for ten cents? Probably not. Would have sex with someone for ten million dollars? Probably yes. The Ben Franklin approach to decision making is an en example of how to apply this principle to your life. . |

A Buddha Gift is a gift in disguise. We simply do not have enough information to know the long-term outcome of our experiences. If you look at everything that feels uncomfortable and ask, "Where is the blessing in this?" you’ll be amazed at what the result will be. Most people are too busy crying and complaining to see the gifts in their painful experiences, and so, they often miss them. When something occurs in your life that you'd prefer not to experience, look for a gift within that incident; look for a blessing in disguise. That blessing is called a Buddha gift. Here's another positive aspect of a Buddha gift: If you are unclear about what your goals are, experiencing what you don't want can give you a much cleared understanding of what you do want. |

Indulgences (Selling Indulgences) |
|
Selling indulgences was an ingenious money-making scam set up by the early Roman Catholic Church. An indulgence defined: The purchase of a pardon from God for one's sins here on Earth. It secured the buyer's salvation or released from purgatory. It could be purchased for one's own use or to save the soul of someone else.*1 Here's how the scam worked: You gave The Roman Catholic Pope money and God forgave you your sins. It was a money-back-guaranteed, ticket to heaven. Indulgences had their hay day with the sixteenth-century, GAY Pope, Pope Leo X.*2 He became Pope in 1513 and is famous for his zeal at selling indulgences. In those days the governments were ruled by what was called the "established church." It ruled every aspect of European life. People had to obey the laws of the church and pay taxes that went to the church. Whether or not they followers of the faith was irrelevant. The church leaders peddled the story that without the church's blessing, God would not let you into heaven. The people, being uneducated and having no other source of information, believed the story. Thousands of people purchased indulgences. Leo was such a good salesman that he even gave the purchaser a piece of paper acknowledging God's forgiveness. Pope Leo X is also famous for sparking the wrath of Martin Luther ' who, posted his famous "95 Theses" on the church door on October 31, 1517. Luther's theses attacked Pope Leo's practice of selling indulgences and triggered the European revolution know as the Reformation. *1 Accordance with Catholic teaching, purgatory (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, to purify) is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions. *2 Now we can't say with absolute, provable certainty that Pope Leo X was a homosexual; however, when we read descriptions of naked young boys coming out of cakes at his parties, one could reasonable apply the same criteria to Pope Leo X the has been applied to former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover: "If he wasn't gay, he certainly gave a good impression of someone who was." |

. One-life-ism is the religious belief that humans live only one life on Earth and then go to heaven, hell, or some other, undefined place after death. This is the basic belief of Christianity. It's also part of the Islamic belief system. One could also say atheists believe in one-life-ism. For a clear distinction between one-life-ism, reincarnation, and atheism, see the page titled: The Three Religious Assumptions in The Book of Timeless Truths and Wisdom®. |

. Transferring undesirable aspects of self onto someone or something else. Seeing attributes in someone else that you can't or won't see in yourself. You need to understand that when someone is being judgmental or expresses an emotion-laden opinion about you, they are actually talking about themselves, and not about you. The concept is called projection. People tend to deny aspects of themselves and then look for and hate those same character traits in others. This concept, called projection, is clearly defined in a highly recommended book titled, “The Adjusted American” [1]* by Snell and Gail Putney. Here’s a paraphrase (one interpretation) of their description. When something goes wrong, there is the tendency to blame someone else, throw them out, and then declare the problem to be solved. It’s called “scapegoating” and it comes from an ancient Middle Eastern practice in which a ritual was conducted to cast all evil onto a goat and then drive the goat out of town. The ritual is still alive and well, today. It has; however, changed form. Today, humans use each other for their scapegoats in this ritual. In psychological terms, the practice is called projection. It stems from the findings that, “Men [and women] hate in others those things -- and only those things -- which they despise in themselves.” It stems from the tendency to disown aspects of one’s own personality. It’s a form of denial and self-deception. "I
would never do this or that, but look at that son of a bitch Projection is at the core of bigotry and prejudice. Bigots tend to lash out verbally and/or physically at their targets and then, to justify their own otherwise unacceptable talk or behavior, they claim themselves to be the victim of these evil people they hate. They then lash out verbally and/or physically at the so-called bad person. They commonly to get stuck in the negative and repetitive, destructive cycle which is required to justify their own behavior. On the reverse side of projection, people tend to see in others, those desirable characteristics that they feel are lacking in themselves and then love and adore the other person. The healthy approach to one’s own self-image is to acknowledge, in one’s self, the potential to be, do, and have all the characteristics and behaviors that one sees in others, regardless of how desirable or repugnant those attributes may be. [1]* Harper & Row, New York, NY, 1964 . |

A spin doctor is a person whose job is to make something or someone look better than he, she, or it is, or to make something or someone look worse than he, she, or it is. The two most well known use of spin doctor is a political campaigning and in attempting to influence legislation. Spin Doctors commonly distort the evidence by emphasizing one aspect of the topic while completely ignoring anything that contradicts the image they are intending to have the public believe. Those with a political agenda are notorious for peddling spin-doctor distortions of the evidence. Lobbyists are spin doctors. They are hired by someone who has an agenda to peddle to our legislators. Unfortunately, they often are parties to legalized bribery, in the form of campaign contributions to those who vote for their position. As Will Rogers once said (and its even truer today): "We have the best politicians that money can buy." Reference: Lies of Omission |

Degrees of Separation |
|
. ..... Degrees of Separation Under the Wave: When one looks under the visible wave one find a huge ocean. The waves are simply the visible part of the ocean -- the part of the ocean that interacts with it's external environment. Big D It's already costing Billions of dollars, thousands of jobs, and is already destroying the social and economic structures as you know them. The problem is that each of these factors is hidden behind one or more degrees of separation. Those hidden costs are being passed on to and will have to be paid by future generations. By ignoring the cost to correct such things as environmental destruction and lack of proper waste management, unthinking people make thousands or corporate quarterly reports sound good when, in long-term reality, the corporations are bankrupt. The only reason they look good is because they are secretly stealing the legacy of your children and grandchildren.And regarding jobs, let's examine the destruction of the last of your nation's virgin redwood forests as an example. The people making a living by destroying these forests would be out of work if the destruction stopped today. But they're soon going to be out of work if they continue cutting the trees. When the trees are all gone so are their jobs. So the question is, shall we redirect this labor force now or wait five more years until all the forests are all completely destroyed and then redirect them.***ps-56-6
Lets looks at the rise in the price of gasoline and follows the trail to its cause. When one goes through the degrees of separation ² between the cause and its effect, we see that a rise in the price of oil produces a rise in the price of gasoline. But the rise in the price of oil is a symptom of the problem, but is not, in and of itself, the problem. What's producing this symptom? The underlying cause brings us to the same bottom line -- debt -- deficit financing -- speculators attempting to protect their investment money and to continue earning money off the production capacity of others. See the section below.

. The Reasonables is a label we've coined to describe ourselves because we tend to think outside the box.° We combine reason and emotion. We combine head and heart. We don't fit exclusively under any traditional label, such as liberal or conservative. We refuse to ignore that which counters our present beliefs. We refuse to duck the tough questions. We refuse to live in denial. We examine as much evidence as is possible. We examine all sides of issues and then offer reasonable solutions -- solutions that are based upon what the presently available evidence indicates. We examine trends and propose making changes before disasters happen. We speak up even when what we have to offer isn't popular. A good place to start looking for us is in what the carved in stone traditionalists call The Lunatic Fringe.° Here's a quote describing "A Reasonable." "I approach both religion and politics with a combination of head and heart. I call myself "A Reasonable" which means on some issues I'm conservative, on others, I'm liberal, and on still others, I simply don't have enough information to hold a strong opinion one way or the other." . |

. Futile gesturing is taking an action that one knows will not produce the desires result, but taking that action anyway. That knowing may be hidden in denial of what the evidence says about the topic. It's an act done in desperation, out of illusion, or it may be a deceptive way of accomplishing a hidden agenda. Futile gesturing is also commonly used as a way of justifying failure. Treating symptoms and ignoring the problem is the most common form of futile gesturing. It's common for politicians to propose solutions that won't get society where they claim they want it to be. Insanity: The U.S. anti-drug war and the anti-terrorist war are both extremely costly and extremely ineffective activities, neither of which is going to solve the problem they claim to be addressing. Both are futile gesturing. Both are insane. Einstein gave us the classic definition of insanity, "Taking the same action over and over again and expecting a different result." Hidden Agenda: Another aspect to consider is that what appears to The Reasonables as a act of futile gesturing may be ( for the person or group taking that action or actions) an intention activity designed to fulfill a hidden agenda. The ultra-conservative Christian leaders' anti-abortion war is the perfect example of a hidden agenda. The anti-abortion war also fits the definitions of both insanity and futile gesturing. For a more detailed analysis of this example, see the section below titled: Hidden Agenda

Granting or Restricting The United States Constitution ( including its amendments) does not grant you any rights. You already have the rights to life, liberty, free movement, free speech, property ownership, free trade, etc, and governments do not have the right infringe upon these God-granted rights. Unfortunately, the American Constitution's Bill of Rights is mislabeled. The amendments are not granting rights. They are actually declarations of restriction. They restrict agents of government, specifically prohibiting certain actions and allowing others. . Teaching that the constitution grants you rights is still one more example of mis-education done with the underlying intention to deceive and manipulate. the public.
. Source of Rights: The Declaration of Independence (July 4,1776) actually acknowledges that your rights come from God and not from any government. ... All men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ...
. First Amendment The
discussion of the First Amendment has a new address:
Article Six ... Article Six, Clause Three (Direct quote) "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
U.S. Constitution -- The Preamble "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." "Although the preamble is not a source of power for any department of the Federal Government, the Supreme Court has often referred to it as evidence of the origin, scope, and purpose of the Constitution."
