Takers / Fakers / Heartbreakers!

Americans wave the flag, as they celebrate at the winner/looser paradigms of the Capitalist Oligarchy. In other words, you are not American if you oppose Capitalism, for it's the core and the substance of the American dreams of homeownership and successful businesses. And so, we must tip our collective hats to the mega-companies who have achieved the American dream of wealth and affluence: These winners would have to include the Tobacco industry's, the Petroleum industry's, the Pharmacopoeia industry's, and the Alcohol industry's (just to honor a few)! Now, the true beauty of the system is this: If you don’t want to support them, you have the power to just not give them any of your monies. American Capitalism is a consumer-driven culture; it is the consumer, not the corporations, that decide the market; it is only the consumer, therefore, that is to blame. Now we must understand; addicts always try to blame-shift; they always point the finger at the other guy. But make no mistake; if you buy the smokes and smoke them, you only have yourself to blame! And you have zero chance of victory over any addiction, so long as you keep pointing the finger outward! You/I decide with our own dollars, who to finance/support, and who not to support! The addict cannot see any way to stop their addiction; they may complain about the expenses of it, but they do not just quit; that is why it is called an addiction! The addict does not care about their own health, nor do they care about the health of others; all the addict thinks about, is how the expense affects them, here and now! They do not see the future; they do not see the suffering they will one day endure; they do not foresee the suffering they will cause others; they are addicts, and only think of themselves in the here/now. The addict complains about how their own addictions cost them, and how they would prefer the big corporations would quit being so American; so Capitalistic, and lower the prices of their products, to alleviate their financial crisis, buying their products.

Taker Nation: Ah, the good ole days!

I used to smoke cigarettes when I was young; I will guess the timeline to be somewhere between 1973 and 83; I do remember going to my local gas station and buying Old Gold cigarettes; best deal in town, 2 for a dollar...gasoline was about the same! Now obviously, the price of both went up, but after a decade of smoking a pack a day, I had enough! I quit cold turkey and have not smoked a cigarette since. But it took much longer for me to kick the gasoline smoking habit. You see, when I smoked (cigarettes) the price of a pack mattered to me, but after quitting, they became like everything else in the background of our lives. We do not care much about the price of things we ourselves do not consume. After all, when is the last time you went out and priced a combine harvester? If you do not use or consume a thing, you really don’t focus on its cost. But I do remember focusing one day, when someone next to me at a checkout, was complaining that a pack of cigarettes were now 5 dollars (I thought to myself how I complained when they went to a dollar a pack). Still, I could only nod at the protest; after all, I never buy them so it doesn’t really matter to me; and besides, maybe if the price gets too high, this guy may buckle down and just quit... Maybe!

I finally broke my habit of gasoline, though it is a much greater habit to break (because its a much greater burden). At first, cigarettes were sold as something that was actually good for you. After many decades passed, we humans finally realized that tobacco was not good for our personal health. Now, I knew when I was young that tobacco was not a healthy thing to do, but when we are young we're invincible... OK, we are stupid! But as I maturated, I looked at myself in the mirror, and decided that this person was not going to be a smoker all my life. I finally grew up, and then I quit smoking: That's how it works. I learned how to live life without a smoking habit. Almost everyone in America is an addict, and even though the health dangers of smoking petroleum is many thousands of times greater than that of tobacco, Americans seem hell-bent on continuing their addiction to petroleum products. The smoke that comes from organic tobacco differs little from the smoke of a forest fire. But to refine fossil fuel and then burn it in a motor, is not a natural process (it cannot occur without human intervention), and so, it is concentrated and very toxic. The difference between the two is dramatic; the tobacco smoke inhaled directly into the lungs will damage those lungs, and if there are people nearby breathing the second-hand smoke in a confined space, they could be affected too. But once the smoke clears, the biomaterial is dissipated just like the smoke created by the burning of all biomaterial (forest fires, wood stoves, burn-off of grasses, crops, etc.). But fossil fuel emissions will not just end at your lungs (or the people in the room's lungs); it will affect the lungs of every breathing thing on Earth, including your grandchildren's lungs! The cancer that keeps on giving/taking, indeed! But, until the addicted human maturates and recognizes the inherent dangers of smoking fossil fuels, they will continue on; business-as-usual! They will just go on blaming the corporations for high prices; they will show God, their progeny and the world, that all they really care about is how expensive the cigarettes are; how expensive the gas is!

And so today, I have no concern for the price of gasoline, now that I'm an ex-gas-smoker; a non-consumer! I care less what a pack of cigarettes cost, and likewise, about the price of a barrel of crude oil, or a gallon of refined gas. For me, its just like the guy at the checkout; my advise is to quit those nasty habits, and perhaps, the price going high, will force you to quit, which, in the case of gasoline, is a win-win for me and for you! After all, I'm not near enough to you, for your tobacco smoke to do me any harm, however, it is every breathing life-form on Earth, that is affected by your fossil burning; that smoke endures (nearly) forever! Its like when early Hollywood movies made sure to show all the actors with cigarettes in their mouths; you were not cool or hip if you did not smoke. But as time and experience taught future generations, the idea of glorifying smoking in this way, faded. Sure, lots of humans still smoke cigarettes, but it is far less cool or hip then in those ignorant days. And burning gasoline will be no different. Those of our generations will continue burning it up, but as we all die off, it will be future generations who will look at our movies; our media; our culture, and see a bunch of fools who were killing themselves by smoking gasoline, and not only themselves, but billions of other breathing life forms; indeed, Earth itself. It makes cigarette smoking look like a healthy thing to do by comparison.

Speaking of tobacco addiction; I really like the new commercials that aired in 2008 (www.becomeanex.org); it was about people who stumbled about, trying to figure out how to live life, without a cigarette. They had to re-learn how to do day-to-day things, now that the cigarette is no longer a part of their life. It is so true: without Christ-in-us, we are just creatures of habit; slave to the moment! Those who smoke pot, for example, develop an entire social system centered on its consumption. They fellowship with others who smoke pot, but not so much with non-consumers, especially those critical of marijuana. I recall smoking pot on several occasions, just so that I could have the fellowship of those whom I Love, knowing that they would pay little or no attention to me if I did not. And it was true; they only came around to visit because it was a safe place form them to smoke pot, as they had no others to do it with. It is truly, a birds-of-a-feather activity! Now, I'm not critical of smoking pot; it is likened to sugar or coffee, beer or beef: a little bit now and then won't hurt you, but too much and for too long can actually damage your health. In all things moderation, however, if you cannot moderate it, quit it and stay away from it. As for tobacco, it is just too difficult to moderate; better to just quit an stay away. The same is true with pot smokers! The same it true with gasoline smokers! But, as with all addiction, what I'm addicted to is not as bad as what you're addicted to; that's the power of self-justification; its the comparison wars of the simpleton mind! But for those who have matured in Christ; who now have the capacity to Love (Gods Love), and with the knowledge that they're addicts, the time for action is now; quit cold turkey, its the only way. We humans can learn how to live without smoking pot, or tobacco, and we can learn to live without smoking gasoline: But it will take some time; it will take a support group. You will have to re-learn how to live day-to-day, without petroleum on your consumption menu. But know this; humans all thru history, lived their lives without it, and so can you. I recommend trying the old fashioned way of getting from point A to B; its called walking! There's another grand devise called bicycles. The bottom-line is this: Whom do you want to emulate? Jesus Christ would not burn gasoline, knowing the inherent damage it does to the Earth, the ecosystems, the weather, and the humans that He died for!

Takers all share in the same agenda; be it the 1st century Romans or the 21st century politicians of the Capitalist oligarchy; be it the Catholics or the Protestants: That agenda always has the same ending; your monies in their hands! The takers make others feel obligated to give a cut or a percentage of their increase, to them. Tithes or taxes, it does not really matter; the idea for the taker is to take; they take to prevent laboring; to get others to toil the soil for the food and the buildings, while they set back and justify the cut! Any person with a grain of Love/honor/dignity would rather slit their own throat, than to just set there and expect others to labor while they do nothing. In the utter absence of any virtue above the rest of the primates, the Godless hominid has demonstrated sometimes unfathomable indignities, injustices and outright evil, all in the name of personal laziness! All human injustices come strictly and exclusively from these Godless/Loveless hominids. And the king of all injustices is mammon-hoarding or economic inequity: It is indeed, impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom! The Godless-religious actually believe that you can be financially wealthy and Saved at the same time. Why? Because they also want their cake and to eat it too: They are the Godless-religious; they do not have the Holy Spirit in them, and yet, they are somehow involved in the religion of Christianity, and so, to reconcile this discrepancy, they refer back to the Old Testament, referencing those who were call rich or wealthy: Because they are Godless, they do not have the Indwelling Holy Spirit to teach them or enlighten them to Scripture, and so, it becomes a justification tool for their own masked carnal desires. But Jesus taught us of this in the Gospels (Gods Spells); He confronted the Pharisees as He did, exactly to reveal to us, the nature of the religious man who does not walk away from the powers of this world. This world is the domain of the evil one, and this lesson was taught to us (of the Indwelling) when Jesus Himself was baptized with water and with fire, and how the evil one followed Him right away to tempt Him, and how Jesus overcome the tempter during this trial. Jesus warned us that we would have a similar experience once we decide to follow Yahshua Messiah, in the parable of the seedlings by the wayside (Matthew 13: see also Psalms 140).

Labor-less Yoke-fellows: Takers are the Scammers of God!

Those who do not labor with their hands, fellowship at the weekend businesses of the other labor-less religious; the churched; they are two peas in a pod! You can go to any local church-business, and what you will find, are average consumer-drones; they all dress alike, they all act alike, they all live alike. If you follow any one of them home, you will find all the same things; big homes and cars and lots of other machines; piles of crap abounds that they get from the malls and the other big-box shopping centers. They live super-size lifestyles, just like every other consumer-drone around them. Now, you would think that these churched people, would somehow be different than the rest of the culture; that somehow they would have higher standards; a higher way about them. But they don't! The Godless-religious attract other's just like them, and they all get together to convince one another that they are the Children of God; that, when they die they will go to Heaven, where to mass-consumerism of gods creations will continue, unabated! They do not care about the Sabbath Day, simply because they do not need the rest from their labors, simply because they do not labor: They are like the others; they are Takers! This weekend scam session has been going on since the Apostolic Age; before the bible was completed even. And so, the rest of the society looks at these religious weekenders, and laugh at their fruitless efforts. They see no logic in joining them, after all, they all do nothing worthy of emulating, so why bother?! They live lifestyles that are as destructive to Gods creation, as anyone else. They take and take, but never give anything back to the system. They buy homes made of wood, but they never plant trees. They consume food, but they never plant or nurture or harvest. They eat meat but they never kill and butcher. They consume gasoline and oil in their machines, but they never clean up the consequences of their operations. They pollute the air, the water and the land, with their consumerism, but do nothing to fix the problem. They are Takers; they exist on the Earth only to take-take-take, and then die fattened. Deep, deep inside, they feel guilty for living so carelessly; so Loveless; so squandering, and so, to feel good about this lifestyle onslaught, they go to church, where the preacher (for a fee) will tell them that they are OK with God; that, as long as they believe, they will go to Heaven in the end! As long as they believe this or that, and they give of their tithes and taxes, that they can continue in their satiation lifestyles, unabated, and un-convicted. Go ahead, follow one of them home; see for yourself! Follow the preacher home, I think you will see much the same consumer-centric lifestyle as the rest of the un-churched.

After all, this is the USA; we are better than others, and the proof is that God gave us more stuff; more power; more talent; more of everything. We are the rulers of the world; don't that tell you that God Loves us more than all those other countries? Is not this abundance a sign that God wants us fat and lazy and the Takers of this worlds goods? Look at our history; we got slaves from Africa to labor in the East, and from China to build in the West, to make this nation what it is today; we have demonstrated to the world, that God is on our side, ever since the beginning. We cut down Gods forests and killed off millions of Gods creatures, so that we humans can conquer and concrete-in, this great nation. We killed of all those pesky Indians and Mexicans, those Hawaiians and those Alaskans got shoved aside as we conquered and dominated their native lands, and we will push others, as we have the need. Why? Because we are superior; we are a Christian nation, and so we have Gods blessings! It was the Bishops and the Priests came along, and blessed our journeys on the sailing ships that went about the world, claiming this land, and then another, all for our Queen and our god. Once we got powerful enough, we got rid of the Queen, but we kept the god... our prince of this worlds goods... goods that we want! Why? Because we are Takers!

Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the wilderness, to be tempted by the Devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterwards hungry. And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." Then the Devil took Him up into the holy city and set Him upon a pinnacle of the Temple. And he said to Him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it is written, "He shall give His angels charge concerning You, and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone." Jesus said to him, It is written again, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." Again, the Devil took Him up into a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve." Then the Devil left him. And behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
Luke 12:16-34 | 16:13-15 And He spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room in which to store my fruits? And he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and I will store all my fruits and my goods there. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat drink and be merry. But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared? So is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious as to your life, what you shall eat; nor for the body, what you shall put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap, having neither storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you better than the birds? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? If then you are not able to do even the least, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not toil, they do not spin. And yet I say to you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass (which today is in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven) how much more will He clothe you, O little-faiths? And do not seek what you shall eat, nor what you shall drink, and stop being in anxiety. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you have need of these things. But rather seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which do not become old, an unfailing treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes nor moth corrupts. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. | No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. And being money-lovers, all the Pharisees also heard all these things. And they derided Him. And He said to them, You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

John 12:25-33 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve Me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve Me, him will my Father honor. Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause, I came unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to Him. Jesus answered and said: This voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me. This He said, signifying what death He should die. 14:25-30 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If yoy Loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me. 16:7-13 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me; Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and you see Me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.
1st John 3:16-18 By this we have known the Love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the Love of God dwell in him? My children, let us not Love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. {Love is a verb!}

James 4:1-6 From where do wars and fightings among you come? Is it not from this, from your lusts which war in your members? You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and cannot obtain. You fight and war, yet you have not because you ask not. You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it upon your lusts. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us yearns to envy? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says, God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
Revelations 3:14-22 And to the angel of the church of the Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of God, says these things: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I counsel you to buy from Me gold purified by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be clothed, and so that the shame of your nakedness does not appear. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame and have sat down with My Father in His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The Inability of Sustainability!

The Godless, and the Godless-religious, are Loveless beings. Without the Indwelling Holy Spirit, bringing the Love of God into us, the human is a Loveless being, cradle to grave. Since all children are told by adults, that they are Loved; since all children are taught to parrot the words "I love you", most humans grow up believing that they were loved, and that they love! But for the bulk of humanity, love is just a word, and that word differs from one person to the next. Without the Love of God in us, humans only know the word, and then the emotion that they associate the word to. Because that association differs, depending on a person's upbringing and cultural influences, the word "love" can mean the strong emotion that the pedophile feels towards the children he/she wishes to rape. The same is often true with the adult rapists. Now, this may seem depraved to those who assign the word "love" to other emotions, but it does not matter what emotion a human assigns the word to, no matter how normalized the word-emotion assignment is! The Love that comes from above; the Love of god that comes with the download of the Indwelling Holy Spirit, is not emotion-centric, it does not have an emotion-assignment. Of course, when we have the Love of God in us, we experience emotions; indeed, Love evokes emotions all the time. But they're different than the Godless (including the Godless-religious). And so, this mass-Godlessness, has a logical end, and we are all deep within it, right now! All the problems that plague humanity, is rooted in Godlessness. Without God-in-us, we hominids have no more capacity to Love, than any other primate. you see, the animal lives on instinct; the animal only recognizes the opportunities that are in front of them; they are opportunists; they capitalize on opportunities as they arise; they are Capitalists! They see the Earth as a big giant bank, a shopping mall and a grocery store. It does not matter which bipedal hominid we are talking about, the fruit of this experiment is made manifest; it is global; it is measurable! If your lifestyle cannot be perpetuated by a thousand generations, it is unsustainable. This is a manifestation (fruit-evidence) of utter Lovelessness! What a person thinks of themselves; what a person convinces others about themselves, will make no difference to God, in the end!

Many people are confused about the term "sustainable" (indeed, most people are). In North America, what is unsustainable is the economy itself. It is the inflationary state of the economic structure that has lead to the explosion of development and the destruction of local bio-systems, and collectively, the planet (and now, global warming). Our problem is not having enough resources to keep going (business-as-usual); our problem is the way we consume resources to begin with. Even the simpletons who think they are going green, are clueless. If your solutions still involve purchasing and incinerating fossil fuels, you still just do not get it! If it involves coming up with more money, you still just do not get it! If, for example, you have to earn 200,000 dollars in order to buy into a "sustainable community", that effort must tax the planet through working within the inflationary economy, to generate the funds to begin with! It is the very reason why we are in this ecological and economical mess; why the financial institutions are in trouble. Exchanging time for money has been prostituted, over time, into a nation of bean counters, peddlers and pushers of materialism; this, coupled with government employees that stick their hands in everyone's pockets, and today, this inflationary whore is destroying the entire planet. What is not sustainable is a culture economy that centers on money. What is not sustainable is building homes, subdivisions, towns and cities, the way we do today. There is no such thing as an expensive green home! People are simpleminded; they think that if they make lots of money, they can use it to build or live sustainably. But the amount of natural resources it takes to BE a Capitalist, is enormous. For example, the entire population of American Amish (some 300,000) use about the same amount of natural resources, as (any) 30 upper-middle class families do, per year. New York City (alone) uses more natural resources than several entire nations do! Changing light bulbs may seem noble to the average simpleton American, but most people here, have no clue how to live green; its just another fad for them; another "thing to be"; another market to exploit; another ploy to capitalize on!

I was a home builder (in the 80's); I was hired by developers (land rapists) to build home after home, in subdivisions that were developed on lands that were (formally) either farmland or forested land: All building developments are this! The farmland (itself) was the product of early Americans cutting down forests and wiping out those ecosystems and the animals that lived there (prior to its destruction) to create the farmland to begin with! When we would enter a new development (subdivision), we would relax in the early morning, drinking our coffee in preparation for construction, and watch the deer (and other animals) coming into the subdivision, that was once forest, and they looked bewildered as they surveyed their habitats, or the absence thereof! We bulldozed their homes and built our own, and even fenced them out! As the subdivisions connected, all the animals for miles, we just gone. Humans take the habitats from the animals, and they do this because they (subconsciously) hate Gods creation and wish to replace it with their own. They want golf-course lawns and white picket fences, and so in this sterile existence, the animals that are left (rodents) are killed off by exterminators, eliminating all traces of Gods original creation from their environment. In a state of Spiritual bankruptcy, the Godless human is disgusted and repelled by the natural world, preferring it to remain confined to zoos and national parks. Children that are not taught be example, to fear or reject nature, naturally love nature, and will interact with it. But as time passes, many lose their childlike love for the natural world, sliding deeper into the humanized sterile world.

The Saved are used of God; the rest just use God!

The destruction of North America took place in the early years of the white mans invasion of this country. Indeed, the Native Americans, uninterrupted, would have lived on this land sustainably, for tens of thousands of years. Today, we can see from space, this same process (clearing the jungle for farmland) going on in South America, and yet, it is those in North America telling them in the South, that they should not do this: Hypocrisy to the max! We are the very last people on Earth to be telling any other country that they should not be raping their lands and displacing the animals and indigenous humans, when we of North America all but wiped out our natural world over the last 250 years, committing genocide of the Natives here. We cut down billions of tress, and killed off countless millions of animals (and many species to extinction): No other single group of humans, ever, has been so destructive to the natural world. And this destruction continues today, exactly because we are an inflationary economy that will die if we stop developing; stop growing materialistically. All progress has to come at the cost of natural resources; the forests and other natural places. And the acceleration of the destruction is a gift of the Industrialization of Earth, fueled by fossil fuels, a gift from Science! We are creating great expanses of the human-made, at the expense of the nature-made. We cannot stop this, until we rebuild our economy based on sustainability; IE: stop tearing up the natural world, but instead, learn to live among it; within it, symbiotically. A true Ecovillage, therefore, is not the same process at all; indeed, it is to replant what former generations destroyed, and if that is not happening, it is not an Ecovillage. Its just another Capitalist development given a new label!

Humans are mere programs of their upbringings and traditions, or conversely, they/we seek to live upon the Earth sustainably. That cannot occur until the mind and Soul is transformed and old ideals and indoctrinations are flushed out. These guys said it this way: No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that created it! (Albert Einstein). A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions! (Oliver Wendell Holmes) Now to me, this is elementary common sense, unfortunately, the bulk of humanity lives and dies oblivious to it. We need to educate humans in order to stretch that mind, otherwise they are cultural drones who will also die in that state. This is accomplished by un-educating them; deprogramming humans to think a new way, which is really old at its core. It is the educational system itself, that is a good piece of the problem, because they teach children how to perpetuate the unsustainable system. What is the unsustainable system? Capitalism, materialism, profiteering without labor!

The Real Estate Industry must be put to death, permanently; that is, zero dollars of profit made from the inflation of the products of these Capitalists (land and the "improvements" placed upon it). The only people that should be making any money from homes are the millers, carpenters, masons and mechanics who build them! The problem with our current economic system is that there are far too many hands-in-the-pie; people who are lazy and want to make money off the backs of others (and why there was slavery to begin with)! If each and every person built their own homes and grew their own foods, then we would not need the economic system at all, outside of trade/barter for specialty items.

Now, its more complex than that, but you either get what I am saying, or, you will spend your life (as the bulk of humanity will) justifying why you will not labor for your own needs/wants, in this way. Laziness is like a disease, and it is directly to blame for all human woes; it is the core-problem, and everything can be traced back to it (all wars, the Industrial Revolution, etc.). Once lazy humans found a way to swindle others out of the fruits of their labor, and once they accumulated more than they could ever consume themselves, we entered into what eventually became the Kingship; the Lordship, and then the Aristocrats, Militantism, and finally, servitude and slavery: The acclaimed age of enlightenment was a dark path, indeed, as we of the 21st century can see and measure scientifically! In its simplest terms; the Industrialization of Earth will eventually kill it, and if not it, surely humanity! Opinions aside, the fact is, all life is symbiotic; we cannot survive for long, without the rest of the components that allowed us to survive to this point, to begin with! The human ego must be healed, and then all the competitivism, wealth-mongering, materialism, and the Militantism necessary to hold onto those things, can be put to rest: Otherwise, we will be!

How 501c3's Harm Forests and the Environment:
How Going Green Perpetuates Destruction!

Look at all the donation-organizations that exist, especially in the USA. This is yet another act of hypocrisy! Unless you live like the Amish, you are the cause, not the cure, for this planets woes! They all participate in postal mail, in mass-consumerism, and are contributors to forest loss, just like every other Capitalist. I tried to get some of these tree-saving organizations to teach what I teach and live; to go to your local post office, and put in a notice to suspend all mail. Then, take out your mailbox, wherever possible. Parcel Services do not use the USPS boxes, they deliver to the door. I have my bank account, my utilities, taxes, and indeed everything else, online, and get email notifications instead of postal mail. Once you have taken yourself off of the system, the spammers also take your postal address off of their system, because they will not produce a piece of spam (bulk mail) for a dead address: They actually get their data from the USPS (which itself, is another bloated government bureaucracy)! The USPS only survives from the bulk mail industry, and so it is better to not get postal mail at all, than to try to reform the bureaucracy; something that has never happened and never will. The spammers count how many viable mailboxes in a particular area, and then print that many spam pieces. I have not received one piece of postal mail in over 7 years now. This is good council, especially if someone wants to take some legal action that requires certified mail! It is perfectly legal to have a legal address, and not receive postal mail. Today, we live rural, and the postal carrier loves Not having to come out to us; when we lived in town, the carrier just walked pasted our suburban home; no problem!

I used to get newsletters from organizations (I won't mention names) that made it appear that they were dedicated to the preservation of forests. Now; All Capitalist businesses are Takers in this life; however, there are 501's that take hand-outs from the uneducated, based on the assumption premise that you have no choice but to get junk mail to begin with, or that you must buy this or take that. Indeed, they all will simply have no option but to justify and validate their efforts, because they will not surrender their hold on the material world, and labor for their own needs, instead! This is why they do not want to share the data I'm sharing with you right now, regarding bulk mail trash: data that would actually save more forests. They are just another paper user, added to the mega-pile of users/abusers! Understand; paper comes from trees. It does not matter if it is made into toilet paper, newspapers, printing paper, envelopes, checks, money, advertisements or magazines. Remember, Capitalism is a consumer-driven entity; consumption drives supply, not the other way around! If you buy gasoline, they produce more to meet the demand. I do not purchase gasoline products, and if you do, this fact is the empirical evidence that you care nothing at all about the climate nor natural resources. Love is a verb, not an emotion, and so is caring! We are what we DO, and no more! Living in a large (typical American) home and operating a fossil fuel vehicle, is the most damaging things humans can do, and are doing! Every other mentality one creates within their micro-experience, is meaningless justification for their business-as-usual denial that will be the root of our own destruction as a species! It is the consumer who is 100% to blame, and the gross over-consumers (typical Americans) are the worst of all. In a culture of Godless/Loveless finger-pointers and Takers who profit from the many victim/villain paradigms, even the tobacco industry is innocent: They cannot sell you what you do not buy! But the Taker is self-centered and self-focused; he/she looks at all humans as resource, and all of the natural world as a personal resource, and when there's no more resource to take, the Taker discards/disregards that human; that ecosystem, because they live in a state of indifference; they get their fix at any and all costs!

Banning the Internal Combustion Engine: Because Cars Smoke Too!
Or, You Can't Burn Gasoline And Be Green!

Most of the human population suffers from emotional retardation, at one level or another. When the ego is damaged in youth, adulthood and time will not just make it go away. Instead, it festers and grows worse; more complex. And so, what's the One thing that can make it go away for good? The Indwelling Holy Spirit! Without that Indwelling, humans are Loveless, no matter their self-beliefs; their religious beliefs, they live/die in a state of utter Lovelessness! This fact is measured by Scientists on a global scale. In my books, I go into details about the topic, from a Spiritual and psychological posit. But smoking tobacco is one of those topics. As humans denaturalized, they began to rebuild their surroundings, and from the mega-cities of old, up to the modern world, the need to denature ones environment has never been more pronounced. Keep in mind that in the natural world, humans regularly would smell manure, body odor, tobacco and wood burning (as well as other biomaterial; flowers, pine needles, coffee beans, etc.). All natural smells were, indeed, natural! But as the Godless humans grew in numbers, Industrialized Earth and paved over nature, their internal hatred for Gods creation (the natural world) lead us to where we are today: Concrete jungles, steel and glass, no smoking signs right next to parking lots with a billion automobiles emitting more toxins into our air daily, than all the tobacco ever incinerated on Earth, forever! Why do people complain about tobacco and not fossil fuel smoke? Simple; because they smoke/consume gasoline themselves! This is about a deep hatred for God, and thus Gods creation. The Godless (including the Godless-religious) all share in their distain for the Creation, and thus, dedicate themselves to the machines of mankind, with the goal of living as separated from Gods creation, as they can. Thus, we have cities of asphalt and concrete, and churches made of steel and glass. This is a way for the Godless-religious to show God just how deep their hatred goes for Gods creation, and it started way back with the first Catholics. They all accept the incineration of petroleum because they will not walk, or labor, or conserve. They all see the Earth as their own personal fueling station, and dumping ground, and live lifestyles bent on that end. And so we build sterile buildings that do not allow animals in them; we live in squeaky clean environments void of the natural world, and in our desperation, we breed box-sized pets, and put plants in pots and set them about, trying to reclaim a small piece of our natural humanity. This is not just pathetic, it is sad!

The Ego and the Eco: Takerism and Affluenza!

The only way to solve the problem, is to enforce accountability. In other words, rather than letting individual consumers sue the tobacco companies for their self-inflicted diseases, let the insurance companies and those who must provide n\medical attention to the consumer, the right to sue that consumer for smoking to begin with! We should only punish the consumer, for consuming: that is Biblical accountability! If a consumer uses electricity and gets it from a nuclear power plant, that consumer should pay to the power plant, a large fee that will be necessary to take care of the spent plutonium and al the other radioactive elements (water, dirt, etc) that will be the byproduct of that generation. The consumer and the corporation are in partnership; the consumer-company relationship, and so, they both should be accountable to the rest of the global community, for anything they generate and consume. This would include landfills, petroleum, and all consumer items as well!

But let me clarify: The practices and purposes of eco-centered 501's, is zero different than any other hand-in-the-pie Takers of this Capitalist Oligarchy: I.E. I am not picking on any one of them. They all seek ways to not labor; indeed, half the world tries unethical methodologies in order to avoid laboring for their own food and shelter, via the money-slave system. Trying to avoid laboring for base-nedds, leads to the consumer-culture and the mass-materialism that we experience today. It is how the Taker lives on the Earth, that is the sum of the problems. The Capitalist Takers set on their two asses, and do some meaningless thing, take peoples money, and then buy their food and shelter (and a plethora of other pre-landfill crap), both to avoid doing the hard work themselves, and to appease their dying egos. They are not green; they are not local. They may present a true situation, but then, stand their with their pathetic hands out, taking donations from others: They are worse than church-businesses! Anyone who accepts monies from strangers is a lazy low-life; period, and I have zero respect for the Takers of this world! The mess that we are in today (as a species) is the consequence of multiple millions of lazy humans who are emotionally retarded and thus, need lots of monies to buy the materialism offered by the Capitalists to fill their perforated egos, and will use every unethical practice invented by the lazy human, to avoid labor (building and growing). Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution is but the end-consequence of this human pathology. The USA represents 5% of humanity, and yet consumes almost 40% of global natural resources. Why? By the way they do business to begin with. The Capitalists have created a paperwork nightmare, starting with the US & State Governments, all the way to the business laws and the educational system that indoctrinates and perpetuates it all. The forests of natural world must pay the price for this mindlessness; this Lovelessness; this Godlessness! Those who Love, are naturally ecological; they/we are all social ecologists!

Blessed are the meek: For they shall inherit the Earth!

Earth could easily sustain 10 billion humans (forever), if we all lived fundamentally, as the Amish do now. However, the Godless Capitalist did not become Capitalistic, because they were concerned with the planet and with other humans: Remember, they were slave owners and regularly destroyed humans and natural resources, along their path: Human History itself, is but the story of billions of Spiritually bankrupt (and thus emotionally retarded) humans seeking some way to fill their perforated egos with wealth and power. Even the Godless-religious were infected with this pathology. Without a spiritual life, we are nothing more than hominids; primates, and incapable of Love. All primates have attachment emotions, which fade over time, and so this is not the "love" referred to here. The evidence of Spirituality is in how humans live upon the Earth, and how we live among ourselves; everything else is what we call Religion; the business of religion: God hates religion! Jesus died and the curtain of the temple was torn asunder, putting an end to the human intermediary; putting an end to religion for good. Jesus made way for the Indwelling Holy Spirit, who abides within me, therefore, there is nothing (or no one) outside of me that can connect me to God! Religion is how God is kept from the inner man; religion was (and still is) prostituted in the presence of children, who then grow up indifferent to or even belligerent towards God, consequently. And Science is no better; it was/is the workhorse of Industrialization itself, as well as the war machines that perpetuate it all. Capitalism feeds the most carnal aspects of the human condition, and today, most who assign themselves to the word "Christian" actually believe that mass-materialism and Industrialism is a blessing from God; in fact, it is a curse from the god of this world, and they don't know the difference. When a person is lazy, wealth and materialism are his friends. With money stored-up, one need not toil the soil; one need not labor; one need not trust in God. But there is a dark side to this lifestyle, and not only does it affect the health of Earth, but of the individual's who persist upon living these sedentary lives. When God is just another resource to tap on, it makes sense to see material things as a blessing from God. When the Godless hominid wants what his/her mind and body demands, they expect it to be there for their consumption and pleasure; their self-gratification, and when they lack what they crave, and cannot get it on their own, they turn to God to provide those things for them.

And so, the Taker pathology will continue until God returns to force justice and equality upon humanity; or, until resources are depreciated from mass over-consumerism coupled with the devastation of/to the biosphere (which ever comes first). We must accept the fact that the Takers of this life, are mentally/emotionally ill; they are sick, and only God can fix them. Since only a fraction of them will submit to unconditional surrender unto the Lordship of Yahshua, they will instead, keep on forcing their hands into the pie, until there's nothing left at all. Death is their only cure! In the meantime, they will be at the gate, taking! That gate, which we see in Scripture, that the Romans used to collect taxes, and the temple taxes at the entrances of their grand cathedrals, is modeled today by governments and churches alike. With too much land to cover and far too many people to visit, personally, these taker entities rely on the flow of goods and people, to "catch" their cut via the ebb & flow of life. This is why liquor stills were illegal in the USA during the early 1900's; the government takers were taxing alcohol at the stores, and so, a moon shiner would just make his own drink, as ell as to sell excesses to others, and the takers were left out. And so, they formed police forces and armed revenue collectors to imprison and punish those who would try to leave them out of the pie. The Takers are vicious; they will indeed, abuse, plunder and kill any who try to leave them out of the profit loop. The mafia was soon replaced with Uncle Sam! That supply chain, will soon be forced on all those, who live as God directs us to live. You se, when we live local, and trade local, we do not need to use trucking and other gasoline burning air polluting mechanisms to pass through the takers scanners. They will soon discover all the revenue that they are missing out on, and will use the militants to abuse and torment the Godly, just as Scripture reveals. Once more of the Body of Christ decide to live Godly lifestyles, it will not be long that, where good triumphs, evil soon follows! As soon as humans eliminate the squandering transporting of foods, fuels and other basic necessities, the government will become aroused as they plot to enter in and take, for you must realize, the sheer depth of depravity hat lurks in the mind and heart of the Godless Takers of this life. They are ravenous and incurable, save the Cross, for which they mock!

Proverbs 12:24-27 The hand of the hard worker shall bear rule, but the lazy shall be under service. Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop, but a good word makes it glad. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor, but the way of the wicked seduces them. The lazy one does not start after his game, but the wealth of a hard worker is precious. 15:19 The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the righteous is made plain. 20:4 The lazy one will not plow; after the autumn he shall beg in harvest and have nothing. 21:25-26 The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands have refused to work. He covets greedily all the day long; but the righteous gives and spares not. 24:30-34 I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man without understanding; and, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face of it, and its stone wall was broken down. Then I saw; I set my heart on it; I looked and I received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down; then your poverty comes stalking, and your want like a man armed with a shield. 26:11-16 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. The lazy one says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. As the door turns upon its hinges, so does the lazy man turn upon his bed. The lazy man hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth. The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can give a reason.

2nd Timothy 3:1-9 Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand. For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness, but denying the power of it: You; turn away from these. For of these are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women loaded with sins, led away with different kinds of lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth. But as those who withstood Moses, so these also resist the truth; men of corrupt mind, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further. For their foolishness shall be plain to all, as theirs also became.

Titus 1:10-16 For there are indeed many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouth you must stop, who subvert whole houses, teaching things not right for the sake of ill gain. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons. This witness is true; for which cause convict them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men, turning away from the truth. To the pure, all things are pure. But to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient and reprobate to every good work.

Romans 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Philippians 3:17-21 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and mark those who walk this way, for you have us for a pattern. For many are walking, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ; whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, those who mind earthly things. For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we are looking for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our body of humiliation so that it may be fashioned like His glorious body, according to the working of His power, even to subdue all things to Himself.

Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the Name of the Lord.
