It's Wonderful that Columbus discovered "America" - A Place That People Can Escape To When there is a Disaster in the Old World. In My Own Family, My Great Great Grandmother...

got pregnant while Unmarried. Shocking! a Scandal! So she Left the Busybodies in Holland and moved to New Amsterdam on the Hudson River... and Her Child was Nobody's Business but Her Own. Later the English renamed that city New York. The Dutch people were pretty Tolerant of Everything... If you wanted to have a different God, OK... That's Your Business... If you wanted to Speak a Different Language, OK... If You were a Native American and We were Europeans, OK... Let's see if we Can do Business... Trading, Farming, Hunting, Furs... We were all Just Folks trying to Earn a Living and Raise up our Kids... 

People Have Been fleeing Disaster and Coming to America for Centuries. The Ukrainians today. The Afghans, The Irish, The Chinese, Central Americans, Haiti, Vietnamese Boat People, The Hmong... and The Spanish Colonized Mexico and then California, Texas, Colorado, New MEXICO and Arizona. 

During the Russian Revolution, The "Reds" Won and the "Whites" had to Get Out of Russia or get Killed... So... Many Fled to America! That's what happened people I Know... They Came to America, Shortened their Name and Built a Business, raised Kids... Truly enjoying the Blessings of Capitalism.

Who were the Reds and Whites in Russian history?

The civil war occurred because after November 1917, many groups had formed that opposed Lenin's Bolsheviks. These groups included monarchists, militarists, and, for a short time, foreign nations. Collectively, they were known as the Whites while the Bolsheviks were known as the Reds.

And all of those people that came to America had to pay for their boat ride... The Irish often had to work for Seven Years as an Indentured Servant to Pay off the Debt for the Boat Ride... 

as a Matter of Fact, Only Slaves from Africa got a Free Boat Ride and a Guaranteed Job for Life! Who Could Turn Down That Offer? Not Many... 

Seems pretty Obviously Racist... 

I read Obama's Autobiography and He Had a JOB as a Community Organizer in Chicago... REALLY! That's a Job! Someone Paid him Money to Organize a Community! I'd Pay a Man to Fix the Brakes on my Car. I'd Pay a Man to Put a New Roof on my House... But I would NEVER pay a Man to Organize a Community... What IF it Never Got Organized? SO WHAT! So I did some research and The Catholic Church was Paying his Salary... They Help the Poor in Guatemala and Haiti and China... and ALSO The South Side of Chicago!

Finally we have a MAP with Red Lines of Where the Dangerous People Hold their Machine Gun Battles... AVOID GOING THERE! Crazy People! Over 100 Bullets Fired... Six Dead, 18 Wounded...

https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/04/us/sacramento-california-shooting-monday/index.html

and here's the Photo of the Men Arrested! Didn't they use to play in that band ABBA? or were they in KRAFTWERK? No... They were the Guys that Learned how to Put a Ball in a Basket when they were in School... Instead of Studying Computers or Nursing or Agriculture... This time When they Go to Prison DON'T LET 'EM OUT!

One Might Think That Black Lives Don't Actually Matter After All! Not to These Guys!

The Reason I'm Concerned by Machine Gun Battles in Sacramento is... I Live Near There. I might actually GO to the DangerZone®... I'll never travel to Russia or Ukraine... or Afghanistan or DirkaDirkaStan... but I Might Go to Downtown Sacramento... If I'm Called to Serve on Jury Duty the Courthouse is down there in the CrazyTown® - Really! But Here's a MAP with RED LINES to Show Where the MADNESS LIES!

Somehow We Let "Machine Gun" Smiley Martin OUT of Prison Early... Really! There's a Law that just Lets 'em GO... A suspect arrested in connection with last weekend's mass shooting outside bars in Sacramento served less than half his 10-year sentence because of voter-approved changes to state law that lessened the punishment for his felony convictions and provided a chance for earlier release.

Smiley Allen Martin was freed in February after serving time for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt, according to court and prison records.

Proposition 57, the 2016 ballot measure that aimed to give most of the state's felons a chance of earlier release... ---> IN EFFECT, MAKING CRIME LEGAL! <--- Police have said the violence was a shootout between rival gangs in which at least five people fired weapons, including Martin's brother, Dandrae Martin, who also was arrested. No one has yet been charged with homicide in the shooting...

FC SAID: Yes, Baha'u'llah tells us that the earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

We, as world citizens, need to learn that the strong individualism of the past will need to blend into a world where the group is more important than the individual. But that diversity is still valuable. Can you do it?

I said: Nope, Not Me. 

and FC Asked: Rugged Individual?

and I Replied: Nope... I enjoy being wealthy... If I participated in the Bahai concept of sharing the wealth fairly, World Wide... I'd be poor... and I don't want to be poor. I eat every day, Have indoor plumbing, hot water, an air conditioner and a heater with a thermostat, a TV with hundreds of Channels and a Computer with the internet... If We Shared Wealth Fairly... it would be great for natives living in East Ooga-Booga but bad for me. SO... NO THANKS!

 I do have a Guru... Sonya Sophia... and I participate in Weekly Group Meditations for Mental and Spiritual Health... I met her at the Rainbow Gathering in Utah 2014... She was Teaching a Seminar... She Is Worthy - some Real Wisdom Here!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcIQWhGoKQY

Then FC Said: You really seem to have misinterpreted the concepts of wealth and poverty as discussed in Baha'u'llah's teachings. One can still be wealthy, but maybe not to such extremes as our overly privileged 1% have achieved, mostly because they gained their wealth by underpaying their workers, etc. I am, right now, fairly wealthy, enough so that I can give to charities and not worry about next year's income. The Baha'i faith is not the communism that many of its detractors attempt to claim. The faith is also intently spiritual, but suggests that we not become "the playthings of the ignorant" such as those "gurus for cash" we often meet up with. One can be a Baha'i for decades and never shell out a penny for the pleasure. Sure, there is a Baha'i Fund (Often a bit strapped for cash) but no one waves an alms bowl in your face.

If you are happy having the Guru that you have, wonderful. I wonder how many of Baha'u'llah's teachings she's cribbed, many of them do anymore, but the important part is that you feel as if you are participating in carrying forward an ever advancing civilization as well as your own personal spiritual development.

Carry on, but try not to wreak division, that would mean that your Guru is a false prophet.

The "natives of East Ooga-Booga" often feel that they are more wealthy than the materialists of the West. Something to toss into your next bit of meditation.

and I replied: Thanks for taking the time to Question the teachings of your own Guru and ask IF what he says makes any sense at all in 2022... I actually read every word... I still believe that somewhere in the teachings is the concept of Sharing Resources Fairly... NO, I'm not willing to do that. I've had a Hot shower and drinking water in my home my whole life... and I'm not willing to give that up so an Iranian can have a Bicycle... or flush toilets in Iraq... or WhatEVER... Have you ever traveled to the "Third World?" - I Have and it Horrified me... I went to Mexico in 1976 and I'll never go there again... Starving Children and NO Birth Control... They didn't feel Wealthy... they felt Hungry. Because their Religion was Insane... The Irish are the same way... Breeding like Crazy and having Half Starve to Death...

You may be interested in the Science Fiction Stories of Orson Scott Card. He wrote a series of books Starting with Ender's Game... In the later books He explores The Hive Mind of the Bugs... Where the Good of the Group is More Important than the Individual... We See this on Earth with Bees and Ants... "blend into a world where the group is more important than the individual." Beehive thinking... 

FC Changed his Tune: I've know Orson personally, he's not a friend. He's actually rather a jerk, and seems to be proud of it. but we frequent many of the same circles. You seem to think that Baha'u'llah is suggesting a hive mind of some sort. Far from it, remember my earlier mention of "diversity"? Unified, but not uniform, working together and using our diversity to make everything better for everybody.

Yes, this is the age when "salvation" is for the collective instead of the individual, but the individual does still matter.

You know, I feel that I can go on like this for hours and you are still only going to hear those things which you wish to hear. So I will leave it here. If you haven't read Baha'u'llah's writings for yourself, please don't try to critique them. There are many volumes of His works, and you are hanging up on merely one of the complex concepts.

So I give you a gift, the chance to be honest with yourself. Visit https://www.bahai.org for an overview. then ask me for other sites, if the one's they present aren't to your satisfaction.

and I Replied: Thanks. I'll read that... and this discussion is taking time away from my work building a Travel Blog... People from all over the World can take a Virtual Journey thru Remote Northern California... Because I went there, Took Pictures and so did Many Other people!

More than a century ago, a railroad was constructed to shuttle passengers and redwood logs between San Francisco and Humboldt Bay.

Now the since-abandoned train track could be transformed into a 307-mile pathway through remote, wild country along California’s North Coast, a move advocates hope will create a world-class outdoors destination and jump-start the economy.

The Great Redwood Trail moved closer to realization this week with the release of a document mapping out the planning, construction and management of the trail in Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt counties, or the northern portion of the envisioned path. Segments in Sonoma and Marin counties will be planned separately.
“I would put it in the category of the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail — these large, landscape-scale trails that provide an experience for people to see areas that they just would never have access to otherwise,” said Caryl Hart, chair of the California Coastal Commission and board member of the Great Redwood Trail Agency, which is tasked with developing the path.

If realized, the project would be the longest so-called rail trail in the country, generally following the defunct track through towering redwoods and along rushing rivers teeming with salmon. The relatively flat trail would accommodate hikers, bikers and horseback riders while potentially providing an economic infusion to small towns struggling amid the decline of logging and rise of legal cannabis.

Officials say it’s probably 20 years away from completion but will move forward section by section.

Who WAS Ram Dass? In the Sixties, He was a Psychedelics Researcher and Promoter at Harvard with Dr. Timothy Leary. (LSD, Magic Mushrooms and Peyote) Then He went to India Looking for Enlightenment and Met a Guru. Changed His Name and Published a Great Book... "Remember: Be Here Now" - It Has His Autobiography and then Many ART Drawings Explaining Eastern Religion. Real Name: Dr. Richard Alpert...

https://beherenownetwork.com/be-here-now/

and Then he wrote a Dozen MORE Books and Gave Many Lectures... ALL WORTHY... I Especially Love "Still Here" because I'm 67 Years Old and The Question of My Own Death is Important To Me... Now... 

https://www.amazon.com/Still-Here-Embracing-Aging-Changing/dp/1573228710

It's Important to remember that Kermit Michael Riggs Taught Dr. Richard Alpert to BE HERE NOW. He was a Laguna Beach, CA Surfer...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavan_Das_(yogi)





and Then After Listening to The Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe Show...

I Had a Dream: We were walking towards the Entrance of the Los Gatos Library and there was a Thin Old Man dressed in a Small Bathing Suit ahead of Us. He pulled on the entrance to the Children's room and It was Locked... Disappointed, he turned around and I asked: "Are You Looking for the Man Who Works There?" He Said: "NO" and I Motioned towards the Main Entrance. We all Entered. He seemed lost so I asked: "Do you Need Help?" as I would ask any Lost Old Man... He Said: "NO" and then I asked again: "Can I Help You?" He said: "No. I'm Fine." and then we went on Our Own Ways. By That time it was Obvious to Me That he was Ram Dass and That it was a Rather "Heavy" encounter to Ask Ram Dass If I Could Help Him... a Meaningful Event... and I was Shaking... So we went downstairs and I went searching for a Book that I Has Started reading before (about Philosophy) - and on the same shelf was a large picture book of the Grateful Dead's Fare Ye Well Tour with four CDs (that were missing) and My friend asked me why I would want to check out that book and I said: "Too Look for Pictures of Myself." and then I woke up and Typed this Document... It's Best to Type it Up before I forget it... For Certain, I would have tried to help any Lost Old Man but It seems Important that I Offered Ram Dass Help in my dream. That's One Of His Main Teachings...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

and then... Someone Posted in the Ram Dass Facebook Group:

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Hello everyone, curious to know where you came across Ram Dass, I found him on Gaia...

and I Replied: TV News was Talking about Dr. Timothy Leary and He was a Part of that scene... Dr. Richard Alpert... and then Later he Wrote The Book: Remember, Be Here Now... and THAT Got My Attention because of the ART! Here are Two of about a Hundred Drawings in that book...






In the Ram Dass Facebook Group SD Posted: Philosophically speaking... Does life fundamentally suck?

SC Said: That’s what the Buddha says! But the good news is that we can rest deeply in that eternal place in our being where it doesn’t suck. The way out is in!


I Replied: MY Life Does Not Suck... Actually, I've always been confused by the Buddhist Teaching that all life is suffering... For Example: Eat a Hamburger with French Fries and a Beer and Tell me THAT'S Suffering... NO, It's Not! Maybe IN INDIA "all life is suffering" but here in the USA... Things are Pretty Great... Hey, I ate LSD and Danced at a Grateful Dead Concert... Does THAT Suck? No... That's Excellent Entertainment! BIG FUN!



Environments Record Album
Human "BE IN" In Central Park NYC


Here is Another Basically False Belief... In Buddhism, desire lies at the root of suffering. By desire, Buddhists refer to craving pleasure, material goods... all of which are wants that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering. I Disagree... UNSATISFIED DESIRE Causes Suffering But Completely Satisfied Desire is GREAT! For Example: I Desired a Hamburger, and then I Ate That Hamburger with French Fries and a Beer... WONDERFUL! Maybe What the Buddha was Referring to is The QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIA where things Generally SUCK... After All... If Prayer and Meditation ACTUALLY WORKED They Wouldn't Be Dying of Coronavirus... BUT In REALITY... VACCINES WORK.

Brown Signs LSD Bill To Head Off Threat' - 30 May 1966

SACRAMENTO (UPI)- Gov. Edmund G. Brown today signed Into law a bill making it a crime to manufacture, sell, possess or use the dream drug LSD. Brown said the new law would head off "a growing threat to society, particularly to young thrill-seekers unaware of the damage it (LSD) can do.” The bill, by Sen, Donald L. Grunsky, R-Watsonville, outlaws the promiscuous use of the drug which backers of the legislation say is reaching epidemic proportions on college campuses. But it permits LSD to be used in research projects conducted by recognized hospitals and clinics.

The Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 is a United Nations treaty designed to control psychoactive drugs such as amphetamine-type stimulants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and psychedelics signed in Vienna, Austria on 21 February 1971. The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 did not ban the many newly discovered psychotropics,[1] since its scope was limited to drugs with cannabis, coca, and opium-like effects.

During the 1960s such drugs became widely available, and government authorities opposed this for numerous reasons, arguing that along with negative health effects, drug use led to lowered moral standards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Psychotropic_Substances


In 1961, a conference of plenipotentiaries (Definition: a person, especially a diplomat, invested with the full power of independent action on behalf of their government, typically in a foreign country.) in New York adopted the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which consolidated the existing drug control treaties into one document and added Cannabis to the list of prohibited plants. In order to appease the pharmaceutical interests, the Single Convention's scope was sharply limited to the list of drugs enumerated in the Schedules annexed to the treaty and to those drugs determined to have similar effects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Convention_on_Narcotic_Drugs

Psilocybin prohibition, however, wasn’t seriously enforced until the passage of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1971, which marked the beginning of America’s disastrous War on Drugs. Under the CSA, psilocybin and psilocin are listed alongside heroin as Schedule I drugs, meaning that they have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use—at least, according to the federal government.

A clown, a guru, and a doctor walk into a cabin. The clown says, “What I have in mind is eye care for 400,000.” The guru says “See here now.” The doctor says, “Brilliant. We can do that.” What actually transpired in 1978 was the start of Seva led by Dr. Brilliant with an eclectic group including Ram Dass, Wavy Gravy, Dr. "V", and Dr. Nicole Grasset. What came next was the landmark Nepal Blindness Survey using an Apple 2+ computer donated by Steve Jobs and a helicopter funded by a Grateful Dead concert. The story of Seva’s beginning is colorful and quirky, but the results are miraculous. Science, art, and spirituality are a potent blend that can transform lives! Witness for yourself the promise of ending avoidable blindness in Nepal and around the world.
