One Tribe

Spiritual law says that none of us are independent of the other.  We are one.  We are extensions of the Creator connected by love.  Unfortunately, here in America we allow ourselves to buy into this commercialized credit based society of hierarchy, valuing our own self-worth to a false standard of another; a false God; preferring to live by the almighty dollar vs. the law of the Almighty - the law to love one another; to value no life above any other life.

 

A quick sure way that leads to unhappiness is comparing yourself to others, or placing your own self worth above another.   Telling our brothers and sisters south of the border that they are unwelcomed is creating a divide between our self and the greater good (God the Creator; the planet Earth).  You are saying you are not part of the one; you are divided (not good enough or better than).

 

I’ve come across a lot of good people who do not understand this concept of selling out to this plastic corporate America mentality verses living by the words of the masters, like Jesus, Mohammad, Allah, whatever your chosen belief/religion, these God loving people would never support a border wall. 

 

The Fourth of July is known as Independence Day; another word for independence is “Freedom,” as in Freedom Day; not as in independent of human fellowship day.  What makes us independent is that we are the only country on the Earth where all people come to live “United.”

 

“Cries she with silent lips. ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . send those, the homeless, tempest-lost to me.  I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’”  (Engraved onto the pedestal of the Statute of Liberty). 

 

A pedestal is the foundation, as represented by the number four, as in 4^th of July.  The words engraved onto the Statute of Liberty are the foundation of the principals on which this nation was founded. 

 

So this 4^th of July holiday, while you’re munching on those taco’s and other Mexican goodies you love so much, be good to yourself and drop that border wall from around your heart and let the light and love in.  That’s freedom!

 

 

ONE TRIBE—ultimately there is only one tribe.  It’s called the Human tribe.  We are all Earthlings sharing an Earthly existence.  When all the people come together and we share our traditions and beliefs, truth reveals itself, and we find we have far more in common then there are differences. It is love that unites us.  Some call it God, some call it Buddha, some call it Jesus, I call it love.  Love is the ultimate high, and there’s more than enough to go around.  So don’t be stingy.  Give a little love.

 

 

 

 



My Country

Did you know that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are based on the concepts of the Iroquois Confederacy of Nations? 

 That’s right, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were both big fans of the Indians, even though Jefferson was actually very cruel towards them; white man envy, I suppose.

 Resolution H. CON. RES. 331 dated October 21, 1988 was passed by Congress making it official, giving the Indians credit where credit is due.

 

 

 

I HAVE NO COUNTRY TO FIGHT FOR

MY COUNTRY IS THE EARTH

I AM A CITIZEN OF THE PLANET

Loving the Brothers & Sisters South of the Border on Independence Day

I found myself in Southern California recently.  I was ecstatic because I just love the Mexican food found in San Diego.   It’s like no other that is served here in the States.  I had lived there years ago, and fell in love with the Mexican culture as well. 

So as soon as the wife and I saw the sun set upon the Pacific Ocean, we found ourselves feeding our need for some good spicy food.  We stumbled upon a small Mexican restaurant not far from the beach.  My wife ordered two beef tacos, and I had ordered two carne asada (steak) tacos, and I ordered a pineapple drink.  The wife ate one of my tacos and I ate one of her tacos, and I took three sips of the drink that I had ordered.

The reason I only took three sips of that delicious pineapple drink was because I had become suspicious when our hostess  took my cup into the back of the kitchen while making sure the double swinging doors behind her were shut completely.  Then she brought my glass back out and placed ice in the cup and then filled it with the pineapple juice. 

Within five minutes of leaving the two tabled Mexican taco shop, my stomach was cramping and I had to use the toilet bad!  Like right now!  My wife, who didn’t touch the drink at all, was fine.

I didn’t turn our hostess into the police or anything like that.  I simply left the drink sitting full on the table so she would know that I knew what she did.  My reasoning for not turning her in stems from the knowledge that hate and anger only produce’s more hate and anger.

Although the truth is unknown to me as to why this young Mexican girl put something in my drink, I can’t help but feel that her aggravation is a result of the Trump hate.  After all, I am white, and I’ve been told that I have a Southern draw of sorts, and Southern states are known to be red (Republican) states. 

The Southern Poverty Law Center reported 867 incidents of hateful intimidation and harassment within ten days after Trump won the election in 2016.  And it seems to swing both ways.  CNN reported that two men in Connecticut were arrested over assault charges against a Trump supporter, in December 2016.  In February 2017, Politico New York reported 56 hate crimes in New York City in comparison to last year’s figures of 31. And even more recent was the “Baseball Shooting,” in which Republican’s were targeted. 

Somebody’s got to say, “Hey, the hate stops here.” 

I plan to share this article with the Mexican girl who felt the need to poison me, along with a picture of me standing with a group of Mexican Immigrants in protest to Trump’s wall this past February, here in Pensacola, Florida.  I do this with the hope that maybe I can leave her with the understanding that not all white American’s are hateful pigs.  But even more importantly, I hope my gesture of forgiveness and love are reflected through her.  If hate can spread, love can too.

 

 

 

 

THE HEALTH BENEFITS FROM EATING MEXICAN FOOD—I have found that when I’m not feeling well, Mexican food makes me feel better.  And there is actually some evidence to support my body’s desire.

 

Jalapeno Peppers can provide relief from migraine headaches, relieve congestion, and is accredited for strengthening blood vessels by making them more elastic and better able to adjust to blood pressure.

 

Cilantro is a strong anti-oxidant that can prevent cardiovascular damage.  It also assists in sleep quality, and has been shown to have anti-anxiety effects. It lowers blood sugar while lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases HDL (good cholesterol), and is well known for cleaning the body of toxic metals.

 

Cayenne Pepper is great for the entire digestive system. It has been said that one teaspoon of cayenne pepper in cup of hot water can stop a heart attack in three minutes.  In addition, cayenne pepper is said to kill cancer cells.  And it rids the body of LDL (bad cholesterol), as well as providing relief from arthritic pain.

 

And a shot per day will keep the doctor away.  Tequila is beneficial for the intestines.  It assist in the absorption of fat and it feeds the good bacteria that lives in the intestines.  It lowers bad cholesterol and it is diabetic friendly, containing less sugar than whiskey, rum, brandy, etc.  And tequila can even assist in weight loss.  It helps the body absorb calcium that in turn burns fat. 

 

So Cheers! And thumbs up to our brothers and sisters south.  Thank you sharing your spicy healing, feel good food with all of us.  Gracias!
