LINKS BY GEORGE ~ JANUARY 26th

2012-01-26T15:20:00.000-08:00

Donations are a vital link to be able to keep this newsletter online. With such a variety of articles, if convenient for you, I would like your support for being able to keep sending articles to the many people that are benefited by this awareness. If you find any articles of special importance to you, please send just one dollar as an intention to be able to keep it networking. And besides the articles, I add a variety of music that I feel you would enjoy and could as well be seen as a "virtual juke box" of inspiration to share. 36 choice and transportative songs that are a good value to support for a dollar.
I realize that we are all struggling economically and so no pressure if you can not make a donation. Also my deep heart felt appreciation to those that have. In any case, at least for the next few months, the internet bill has been paid and the "Links by George" newsletter will continue.

All of this for what purpose? On the surface it seems as if it is to protect the mega-corporations, who fund such "freedom" in regard to business and even capitalism, damaging to their interests. It is not that such "freedom" in regard to capitalism brings down their profits, no, but it limits their control over material that they have already sold and made money out of. It is like patenting nature's contribution to us as medicinal plants, which is going on these days"

QUOTES FOR THE WEEK:

"We can shape the national sentiment with our voices of compassion and reason. We can send the simple message that we must not kill innocent people in the name of justice." -- Fran Korten
"Disarm, disarm. The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession." -- Julia Ward Howe (Peace proclamation, London, 1870)
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein

"Am I not destroying my enemies what I make friends of them? -- Abraham Lincoln

"Did you know that the worldwide food shortage that threatens up to five hundred million children could be alleviated at the cost of only one day, only one day, of modern warfare." -- Peter Ustinov
"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it?" -- Edward L. Bernays

"Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purpose is beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." -- Louis Dembitz Brandeis

"I believe in liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls; the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love." -- W. E. B. Du Bois
"The time has come for America to hear the truth about this tragic war. In international conflicts, the truth is hard to come by because most nations are deceived about themselves. Rationalizations and the incessant search for scapegoats are the psychological cataracts that blind us to our sins. But the day has passed for superficial patriotism. He who lives with untruth lives in spiritual slavery." - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), US civil rights leader.
"He who dares not offend cannot be honest" - Thomas Paine
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. " - Arundhati Roy
"Thank God that at this hour I am dangerous to the war profiteers of this country who rob the people on the one hand, and rob and debase the government on the other; and then with their pockets and wallets stuffed with the filthy, bloodstained profits of war, wrap the sacred folds of the Stars and Stripes about them and [about] their blatant hypocrisy to the world." Kate Richards O'Hare's Address To the Court Proceedings on the Sentencing of Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare by Hon Martin J. Wade,
"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless." -- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi - (1828-1910) Russian writer Source: On Life and Essays on Religion
"Free inquiry requires that we tolerate diversity of opinion and that we respect the right of individuals to express their beliefs, however unpopular they may be, without social or legal prohibition or fear of success." -- Paul Kurtz - "A Secular Humanist Declaration," in On The Barricades, 1989
"America, the richest and most powerful nation in the world, can well lead the way in this revolution of values. There is nothing, except a tragic death wish, to prevent us from reordering our priorities,"
"We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate. As Arnold Toynbee says : "Love is the ultimate force that makes for the saving choice of life and good against the damning choice of death and evil. Therefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word."
"Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter -- but beautiful -- struggle for a new world."
- Rev. Martin Luther King - "Beyond Vietnam" -A Time to Break

LINKS BY GEORGE ~ JANUARY 7, 2012

2012-01-06T20:32:00.000-08:00

Greetings to all as we enter another cycle of the year. Captivated by expectations, anticipations and fears of future calendar dates as well as trends from the past, we often forget that we are living as well in the present. Historians might point out key events and reality scripts written by "the winners" but also there were many acts of kindness and love that were never considered as significant to mention. BE-HERE-NOW means that we can examine our relationships to the planet, to others and also with ourselves. How is our behavior affecting our environment and what can we do to bring about a change for the better if possible. Actions are indispensable for change to happen. Joost va Steenis in his book "From Chaos to Change" points out that "each year more than 9 million children die before they are five years old". We can be concerned and demonstrate, but we also need to reach the greedy few that are grabbing everything and enslaving humanity in the process. Consumer Rights and Job security seem to be lost ideas. Americans calling themselves the "land of the free" is a bad joke. US citizens can now be thrown in jail without any legal protection as once assumed by the Bill of Rights. Parents are having their children forced to be vaccinated even if they don't want to. GMO's are being allowed to enter the marketplace with no concern for health issues while natural medication is made illegal. One country after another is destroyed by US invasions and weapons of mass destruction with the excuse of "protecting our freedom" which means our country has been acting, in the eyes of many people in the world, as a mercenary thug destroying nations to steal their resources for corporate profit. Whenever we hear that Wall street stocks and profits are on an upswing, news reporters imply that it means good news". Yet what good are corporate profits for the elite when the rest of the world slides economically downhill. This week there is even a story on how in many places in the US, collecting rain water from your house is illegal as the water belongs to the government to do what is deems fit with it. In the movie "Thrive", it is made clear that governments are not representing most people but rather following orders from large corporations and banks. The challenge for the year is how to influence the "boys on the top" to show more compassion and gratitude to humanity and the great spirit that brought us the miracle of life. Living simply so others can simple live is a vital idea to teach them. An understanding of the currency of compassion.
I often hear from friends that my "Links by George" newsletter is getting too lenghty. Every week I have the intention to limit the number of articles that I post, yet as I do my daily research, I find more and more stories that I feel need to be expressed. Whenever I hear feedback from people in many parts of the world that are appreciative and thankful for the information I am connecting them with, I feel that the extra hours I stay on the Internet a day are worth it. I do hope at some point that there won't be as many stories to report and I can finally start to write my autobiography. One suggestion if not enough time to read all the articles is to simply read the headlines and then if there are any specific stories of interest, read them whenever time is possible.
This week's "links by George" again is full of articles that range from shamanism, healing,
environmental issues, political and economic. And lots of music videos as well.
My service is from the heart and it is a pleasure for me to outreach to as many
people as possible. I am deeply thankful to the few friends that sent me donations this month. At least I will be able to keep up the service for a few more months. However, if anyone can send even a small donation to me through pay pal or otherwise, my family and I would
be very very appreciative. Last month there were several donations made that will
cover the Internet bill for a couple more months. I am very appreciative to those
that have sent us recent contributions which allow a couple more months of covering
our costs for this newsletter.
If you would like to make a very appreciated contribution, you can make a
payment through our Paypal account at gsrain@yahoo.com

Heffter Research Institute updates on psychedelic research

Alexander Shulgin is not only a true legend in his own time, but also a man who brings a feeling of compassion and contentment in all aspects of his life as well as in his loving relationship to his wife of 32 years Ann. Born in 1925, he is a chemist primarily known for developing MDMA or as it is commonly known, Ecstasy. But what most people do not realize is that Shulgin has also discovered, synthesized, and bioassayed over 230 other psychoactive compounds. Unlike his other books which explain in depth his relationship, experiences, and views on psychedelics in general, his latest book The Shulgin Index Vol 1 is an 800 page opus with complete chemical formulas of the known psychedelic Phenethylamines. Thus it provides exact information for scientists today as well as being an essential time capsule for future reference and interest. This book might not be for everyone, but it is a book that everyone will be glad to know exists and can be utilized by researchers in a clear and straight forward manner.

With its wonderful potential of healing and spiritual growth, it is important for both practitioners as well as anyone that receives its benefits to have a reference source as well as a users manual. Katalin Koda has written just such a book, "Sacred Path of Reiki" which covers this subject in such a way that will enhance such information for both beginners and more advanced healers and adepts. The history and benefits of Reiki are well covered as well as step by step explanations on its usage and exercises for enhancing the benefits. Nicely illustrated and easy to follow examples along with an excellent appendix, glossary and resource index are also provided. Katalin is an excellent writer and integrator of many styles of healing practices which she expresses throughout this easy to read and enjoyable book. Her personal experiences which she adds throughout the book further add depth to the text as well as make it an excellent book to read even if one does not want to go any further into Reiki besides learning more about this valuable holistic approach to healing and spiritual practice. I enjoyed reading her book and recommend you order a copy of Katalin Koda's "Sacred Path of Reiki" as well.

Joost van Steenis excellent book "From Chaos to Change":With the rise of wide scale demonstrations of people all over the world and the growing awakening of political, social and economic consciousness, it is vital to have reference points to the bigger pictures so as not to have this momentum slowed or worse yet, silenced by those in control. Joost van Steenis has written a clear and very easy to read book "From Chaos to Change" that I highly recommend for empowering such individual and group activism. Coming from a sensitive and heart based perspective, he reminds us that over nine million people children die each year before they reach the age of five because of the greed of a small number of elite. Joost explains that mass people need to focus not on large scale gatherings but in organizing smaller groups to bring attention to those members of the elite directly where they live, work and play rather than at a distance. To do so a paradigm shift is important if positive change is to happen. As he says: "This world is dominated by money and I should like to see the interests of humans as the central point to take decisions. I say something as a shift from money as the pivotal point in our society to the idea that all humans should have the same status."Please go to Joost's website for a free copy of this very important book as well as excellent information

QUOTES FOR THE WEEK:

"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed."
― Terence McKenna

"History is an account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools."
-- Ambrose Bierce, American writer, 1842-1914
=
"War is the spectacular and bloody projection of our everyday living. We precipitate war out of our daily lives; and without a transformation in ourselves, there are bound to be national and racial antagonisms, the childish quarreling over ideologies, the multiplication of soldiers, the saluting of flags, and all the many brutalities that go to create organized murder."
- J. Krishnamurti
=
"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume."
- Noam Chomsky
=
"You see, when a nation threatens another nation the people of the latter forget their factionalism, their local antagonisms, their political differences, their suspicions of each other, their religious hostilities, and band together as one unit. Leaders know that, and that is why so many of them whip up wars during periods of national crisis, or when the people become discontented and angry.
The leaders stigmatize the enemy with every vice they can think of, every evil and human depravity. They stimulate their people's natural fear of all other men by channeling it into a defined fear of just certain men, or nations. Attacking another nation, then, acts as a sort of catharsis, temporarily, on men's fear of their immediate neighbors.
This is the explanation of all wars, all racial and religious hatreds, all massacres, and all attempts at genocide."
--Taylor Caldwell, "The Devil?s Advocate" (1952) - pg. 299
=
At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,
Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and praise him though he slays them.
Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the citadel I have seen the freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff.
And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fulfilment.
Kahlil Gibran

"I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you."

"Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths: without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: That what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open."

"The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny."

=
"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." : Frederick Douglass
"The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it."
- Joseph Conrad
=
"To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers."
Adam Smith
=
"Thank God that at this hour I am dangerous to the war profiteers of this country who rob the people on the one hand, and rob and debase the government on the other; and then with their pockets and wallets stuffed with the filthy, bloodstained profits of war, wrap the sacred folds of the Stars and Stripes about them and [about] their blatant hypocrisy to the world."

One day,Youngsters will learn words they will not understand,
Children from India will ask: "What is hunger?"
Children from Alabama will ask: "What is racial segregation?"
Children from Hiroshima will ask: "What is the atomic bomb?"
Children at school will ask: "What is war?"
You will answer them, you will tell them:"Those are words not used any more,
Like 'stage-coaches', 'galleys' or 'slavery',
Words no longer meaningful,
That is why they have been removed from dictionaries."
Martin Luther King
