Taking a break from my daily writing schedule I happened to hear Janey Cutler, another old timer from BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT belt a song that sent me over the moon. Instead of tendering my resignation I went to work proving to myself that if Janey can rock ‘em with her songs I would continue to make a difference in what I do.

We didn’t want you to miss this amazing 80-year old woman so here is the clip. Enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, if you think that recent natural cleansings like earthquakes and tsunamis and volcano eruptions are foreshadowing Apocalypse gloom and doom prophesied by the Mayan Calendar you might have been smoking what Bill Clinton said he didn’t. There have been horrendous disasters from Mother Nature–read your history books or watch more of the Discovery Channel–since God created the earth supposedly in six days and six nights (talk about your fairy tales that have a huge following).

Bottom line, the end of the Mayan Calendar is about a massive, huge, gargantuan and colossal shift in Consciousness. As I told one of the lesser intellectual lights yesterday, there is going to be an ancient, everlasting switch of electric energy thrown “On” so compelling and irresistible much like electrocution in a positive way that most who have a smattering of openness to the Light of the Divine will experience a change that will be like nothing the world has ever seen or felt. There will be a blending of heart and mind–soul and corporal–a fusion of dualities–male and female aspects of each will come together and we will see the light; the error of our ways sired by dogma, dicta, pontifications, biased self-interest rules and regulations from politicos–and we will have the God within each of us mushroom into Collective Altered Consciousness that will lift the planet from its centuries of miasma and madness and meanness and misconceptions into peace on earth–heaven on earth.

And this footnote to the approach of 2012–what we are getting–financial crises, wars and terrorism, poverty and famine–millions dying of thirst and lack of food and shelter–genocide and war lords filling their coffers–we have created and comes from the error of our ways–following and adopting ideas and concepts that are born of egocentric controllers. The inculcating and invasive and permeating energy that will be a rift leading up to the axis date in December 2012 has already begun. Check in with yourself to see if you have been blocking or ignoring the signs and wonders of what lies ahead.

Who warns the President of the United States? I am sick and tired of Obama-bashing, The Internet has made life a lot more unsettling because anybody with an email account can scatter screed. I for one never voted for a Democrat until Barack Obama. I like him and I feel he is trying to undo what the man I voted for twice got us into during his eight-year abomination. Barack Obama is not perfect- no one is. But he is an honorable and brilliant man.

My suggestion: Back off and quit warning him about who he puts on the Supreme Court. Every President puts justices on the court who are in alignment with his and his party’s interpretation of the Constitution.

I may stop looking at the Internet. There is never anything positive but half-truths and lunatic-fringe accusations and threats. Enough is enough!!!!!

Make no mistake. We retirees (who have no choice but to continue to work; in my case, I would work anyway because I love what I do and I intend to do what I love as long as I love what I do) had no choice but to continue to work AND what the Government is doing amounts to double taxation. Most of us have been paying taxes for 50+ years and now we are taxed on money that has already been taxed. This is DOUBLE TAXATION. One of the hues and cries that caused the American Revolution was “No taxation without fair representation.”

So I ask, “Who is representing those of us who are being double taxed on wages earned, wages that we need to supplement the income we lost when the economics went topsy-turvy? If you ask most CPAs they will tell you this tax burden is unfair and someone in Congress needs to change the law so we can work and make what we can to survive.

No one is talking to the American public about personal responsibility. The talking heads want you to believe that the Government got us into this mess. Not. You got yourself into this mess. If we don’t become a culture that takes personal responsibility for our actions we are finished. Malfeasance and greed were a huge factor in banks and the Stock Market co-joining us in this fiasco. When I see tea-baggers rant and rail at Obama for his runaway deficit I wonder if anyone ever stopped to consider that he did not create why he had to step and avert a collapse–we did.

Where and when are we ever going to accept accountability for what we are facing. Haiti has a disaster and the world rushes to alleviate pain and suffering as well we should. When we are asked to pay off and do with less until we can afford to spend, we get our backs up and the blame game starts.

When is anyone going to look at us as a nation and ask what each of us can do to change? Change you and change the world you touch.

It is odd and disturbing how Ray acted at the time of the tragedy. He fled the state immediately according to his attorney, Brad Brian, because the police told him that there was an ongoing investigation and Ray felt it was best, under the circumstances, that he return home to California. Subsequently one of his key ex-staff members, Malinda Martin told CNN’s Gary Tuchman that when she was giving CPR to one of the attendees who was unconscious, James Ray told her to stop. He was convinced, according to this woman, that each person had to go through this “death-like” process in order to heal what was obstructing them.

There have been so many eye-witness accounts of James Arthur Ray’s behavior during and after the deaths of three people. Born on November 22, this Scorpio, true to nature, may be trying to mask the torture he must be feeling to have facilitated a five-day workshop that ended in tragedy. In the revealing and educative books, Snapping: America’s Epidemic of Sudden Personality Change by Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman and People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil by Dr. M. Scott Peck, narcissism is the equivalent of falling in love with oneself (word derivation comes from Narcissus: a beautiful youth in Greek mythology who falls in love with his own reflection). It becomes the Achilles heel of a lot of men and women whose reach exceeds their grasp, as Browning wrote–they go from being role models to shape-shifting into the most reprehensible dark and dangerous egocentric. Narcissism glued to dissociative disintegration of the self results in someone who is robotic and not self-realized at all. It is akin to the old Flip Wilson line as Geraldine, “The devil made me do it.”

Make sure the next time you sign up for a workshop that has risk factors, ask if there are those on site who can assist attendees if there are health issues. The pity is that a lot of people in need of basic mental health care opt for some of these extreme measure workshops to their own detriment.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? I am wont to say that all the free-loading started in 1959 with the birth of credit cards: BUY NOW. PAY LATER. This 50-year old baby is as responsible for personal financial malfeasance as anything else.

With all these “get out of jail” passes being pandered to the public, it is time for someone to call a spade a spade: most people are hanging by their fingernails financially because of the need to have what we can’t afford. As a kid when we asked our mother if we could have a bicycle, she would say, “Yes. Buy it with your own money. Cut lawns to get the money.” We were living under the Eisenhower Era, right after the end of World War II.

A great comic from 50’s and 60’s television, Red Skelton used to act in skits featuring a rogue character named Freddie the Freeloader. Freddie was always mooching off friends and conning unsuspecting strangers. I was reminded of Skelton and his Freddie the Freeloader creation when I saw these ads to let people off the hook for their indebtedness.

To quote my business partner, “You charged it. Pay what you owe.” The same goes for taxes.

Last week, as a way to solicit donations I suppose, the American Civil Liberties Union sent me a small bound copy of the Constitution of the United States of America. As I pored over the bedrock of our Republic I read Amendment 1: Freedom of religion, speech, and the press, rights of assembly and petition.

Referencing spats over one movie being better than another, or not, might seem frivolous when understanding the intent of Amendment 1 but it does remind me that we are all entitled to disagree with one another. So the next time one of your over-zealous church friends argues for his dogma or an adversary who votes differently than you sits on his soapbox, remind him or her that it is healthy and a guaranteed right of all of us to disagree.

My position has always been that we live in a parallel universe: there is what I refer to as 1) the “perfect place” from whence we come, get our telepathic intuition and to which we will return at death and 2) the maya or illusionary world (which Joseph Campbell and I refer to as reform school) which has the infection and rampant misinformation sired and promulgated by one’s Ego. Mr. Maraboli asked me how one got from illusion to truth–from outside mystique to the inner life of freedom–and I told him, “Through pain and going to any lengths to wake up from the trance state that the transitory world offers.” I have worked with a lot of people and I never heard one man or woman say that he or she got out of bed one day and decided to quit alcoholic drinking or that they thought it would better serve them not to have never-ending partners, one after the other. Like me, the pain and destruction of the bad boy or girl behavior got us to put the plug in the jug with the fellowship of those whose lives changed with steps. Like Buddha, the challenge in the New Year is to “Wake up” and find the path to peace and tranquility by connecting to a power greater than oneself, God.
