Hi guys,
It seems to be an inescapable fact of life that money does make the world go around.
To those of the manor borne, it is something that one simply has.
To those of us who were not born with a silver spoon in our mouths, it is a horse of a different color.
If one truly is a gazillionaire and has no need, yet squeezes the little guy who has not, for every red cent-then it's not really about the money is it?
It's more about POWER, and sheer GREED.
I like the "unsinkable Molly Brown's" philosophy, (born in Hannibal Mo BTW) that "money is like manure, it's no good unless you spread it around."
To me,the joy of having it all would be in SHARING, in giving back, in making this world a better place, in easing the burdon of others, of feeding the children, of bringing beauty into the world, restoring balance and harmony and bringing out and creating the BEST of possible worlds in peace and beauty and harmony.
I am one of those "dupes" who would give you the shirt off of my back if I thought you really needed it.
I am one of those "suckers born every minute" who really believes that one person CAN make a difference -
that Bob's "soap" really CAN wash away the grime of the world and make us all squeaky clean...(just send in $50 and 567322 box tops and 22 skate keys !)
I guess they must do a lot of roller skating in the guff
I am perhaps the quintessential Parsifal (holy fool) caught hanging upside down dangling from a precipice more often than not...
.
I am that "rare bird" (some call it coo coo) that people, when I tell them some of the things I've done for others, shake their heads and ask if I'm for real, because "people just don't do those kinds of things!" (oh really?")
I believe that this is a life of service-be it "service to self" or "service to others" (see THE "RA MATERIAL")
I like to think that real JOY is to be found in helping others
YES, it has backfired on me more often than not,
(or as iON asked, "How's that working out for you?") n:-Q
Well, it's a learning curve and maybe in the end who can say who will have the last laugh?
I constantly astound and befuddle people because if I say I'm going to do something...I actually DO it (if at all possible)
My motto is "What's so bad about being GOOD?"
Lord knows I TRY to do the right thing....so WHY is it that it's not working for me?
(ok maybe it IS "working" but just need some major tweaking?)
There must be something wrong with my magic wand, cuz it's not working guys!
We hu-mans have screwy ideas about money-most of them programmed into us on a subconscious level by family, society, religious institutions the media, etc.
We are judged not by who we are, but by the size of our....uhhhh.....bank account.
Ask the average person who he is, and he will tell you what he does.
Our identity is very much wrapped up in what we DO, what we HAVE, what kind of car we drive, what label is inside the foo foo we use to cover our meatsacks or how much we paid for our lovely bunch of coconuts.
We are becoming an increasingly divisive society with a very tiny percentage of people controlling the vast majority of the wealth on this planet...the rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer, and the dangling middle classes are getting the shaft with a BIG wake-up call...
NOTHING IS THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO BE-LIE-VE IT IS.......NO THING !!!
I'm sorry but I do not understand the iONitic philosophy of "delight and please yourself first"-(ie GET YOURS) and .....screw everybody else.
I do understand the necessity of feeling good (we are a hedonistic people), but the drug addict will wreak havoc on the lives of everyone around him in order to "please himself" and feed his addiction and not care an iota about anyone or anything else...save himself
I understand that we should forget about trying to under-stand anything, that the new moniker is "OVER-LAY"
to this I say "Wooly Bully..right on!"
but the resounding echo that I keep hearing is
"How do we get there from here?"
We are magnificent human creators, YES, but as the "Sourcerer's Apprentice" attempting to embrace that radical departure from everything we have been taught,
("Stay in that box little man- SIT, STAY, LAY DOWN ,ROLL OVER!")
there are bound to be fuck-ups, mis-fires, back-fires....
I believe iON would call this "CONTRAST" (see I have been listening!)
So I guess I'm just wondering about the magic we evoke with our words-
obviously (at 50 bucks a pop) iONS "words are pure gold (ca ching ca ching)
and hey more power to you, I do see the necessity of "exchange"
(how bout if I come scub your toilets instead of giving you 5o bucks of money that does not exist?
That's an exchange is it not?)
BUT when we mere mortals say the magic words....and nothing happens for us.....does this not further re-enforce feelings of being "less than" and further re-enforce the AWE of "HAIL BOB...KING OF THE WORLD!!" :-Q And his iOnitic deit(ies).
And here's another thought, on the tail gates when some of the other dead people spoke through iOn, did anyone else notice that some of them had very DIFFERENT ideas, notions, takes than iON does ,regarding the nature of the way things are ?
Are we to believe that being DEAD suddenly makes you the absolute authority and knower of all things?
Is this not also a form of POWER (from beyond the grave) and do we underlings not give OUR power away when we go for it hook, line and sinker?
and another question for Tina, and all the other iONites that I heard discussing winning the lottery /waving their magic wands and manifesting a trip to Hawaii on 9-22 for the ionitic hey dey....ho down, loooOW/party hardy/whatever
Just wondering how'd that work out for you? (I'd love to see pictures)
not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but a question of the Grandfathers in the indigenous traditions comes to mind here regarding all things of this iONic dispensation...
"DOES IT GROW CORN?"
sure we are filling the coffers of the church of Bob (richest man in the world?) but I would love to hear honest testimony (hmmm interesting word there..putting your testicles on the line!) about how all this is "growing corn" for the "disciples" and "disciplettes".
Tell me about how this is REALLY working out for you and how it has made you a better person.
I want to hear about that "Maserati Testerosa" that suddenly appeared in your driveway with the mere twitch of your nose...
tell me about your big wins in Vegas and HOW the money flows freely and easily to you...
tell all about your Swiss bank accounts and hot and cold running Maids....
and I'm not about you fat cats who are already sitting on a load of dough
sure if all your needs are taken care of and you don't NEED it then obviously you don't really care one way or the other..easy come easy go
but lets say that you've lost everything (or are teetering on that precipice) and are sitting at that zero point,
THEN it becomes a horse of a different color does it not?
THIS is where the petal hits the metal.....
If it's all as easy as you say,
why not give all your money (and stuff) away and start over
SHOW US
WALK YOUR TALK
PUT YOUR $ WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS
SHOW US HOW YOU CAN WALK ON WATER
FEED THE MASSES
TURN WATER INTO WINE
Isn't THAT what "REAL POWER" is all about?
not trying to come across as the whiny, jealous lil bitch on the block
bemoaning the good fortune of others....
not that way at all
just looking for practical application that's all ...
