DREAM

(Painting by Maxfield Parrish – ‘Morning, Spring’)
Sometimes I feel that Life is A Dream.
The priests say that Life is A Dream of The Gods….
Yet, I often think that My Life is My Own Dream.
If I am Dreaming My Own Life, perhaps I Am A God?

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR CLOWN

When I was 16 years old I registered for the military draft as a Conscientious Objector. You can too.
(Painting by Ron English)
A conscientious objector (CO) is an “individual who has claimed the right to refuse to perform military service” on the grounds of freedom of thought, conscience, and/or religion. In some countries, conscientious objectors are assigned to an alternative civilian service as a substitute for conscription or military service. Some conscientious objectors consider themselves pacifist, non-interventionist, non-resistant, or antimilitarist. The international definition of conscientious objection officially broadened on March 8, 1995 when the United Nations Commission on Human Rights resolution 1995/83 stated that “persons performing military service should not be excluded from the right to have conscientious objections to military service.” That definition was re-affirmed in 1998, when the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights document called “Conscientious objection to military service, United Nations Commission on Human Rights resolution 1998/77” officially recognized that “persons [already] performing military service may develop conscientious objections.
The most famous American conscientious objector. Cassius Clay Jr. ( MUHAMMED ALI) was an Olympic gold medal winning boxer and 3 time professional Heavyweight boxing champion in the life of his boxing career. In 1964 Clay converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammed Ali. In 1966 Ali was drafted for the Viet Nam war. He refused to be inducted and applied as a conscientious objector. His application was denied by the local draft board. His title and boxing license were temporarily suspended. Ali took his case to the Supreme Court and was eventually granted CO status and returned to boxing.
MAHATMA GANDHI is the father of India. During that country’s fight for independence Gandhi was their political and spiritual leader. He was the pioneer of resistence to tyranny through non-violent mass civil disobedience. But Gandhi was more than just a wise man in a loin cloth. He was educated in London as a lawyer. During the Boer War in South Africa Gandhi served as a Sargeant Major in the British Ambulance Corps.
EVERY PACIFIST IS A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR. NOT EVERY CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR IS A PACIFIST.
AGREEMENT

“DOESN’T ANYBODY BELIEVE ME?
“Doesn’t anybody believe me?“–Dorothy
“Of course we believe you, Dorothy…“–Uncle Henry in ‘The Wizard of Oz’
Is reality really real?
As Dorothy discovered when she returned back to Kansas, her friends and family did not agree that the Land of Oz was “reality”.
Conversely, gaining agreement from one’s friends does not guarantee that the information agreed upon is true or workable or survival. Agreement is not necessarily reality. Although Man seems to crave agreement with his fellows, the fact that “everyone agrees that the world is flat” or that “the sun revolves around the Earth”, does not make it a reality.
History has shown that agreements among people have very frequently proven to be disastrous.
Example: Adolph Hitler gained the complete, unabated agreement of the majority of the German population before he led them into total self-destruction.
Lots of people agree when fast food franchise advertisements tell them that cheeseburgers, fries and milk shakes are good for them. We were, and still are, told, based on “medical research” that these foods contain nutrients from all the “four basic food groups”. This doesn’t change the fact that you get fat, develop hardened arteries and die an early death from heart disease or cancer if you keep eating cheeseburgers, fries and shakes.
The unprecedented multi-billion dollar profit margins earned by the beef and dairy industry and sugar growers in cooperation with the fast food restaurant cartels have a heavy influence on “truth in advertising”. In addition, the quality of information we receive, as consumers, from the American Medical Association regarding “the science of nutrition” is directly influenced by fast food commercial interests.
Only one generation ago the Japanese people were nearly free of heart disease and cancer. In just 20 short years, since they have openly adopted the Standard American Diet (SAD)–cheeseburgers/French fries/milk shakes and liquid caffeine-filled sugar water called cola–the incidence of heart disease and cancer among the Japanese people has skyrocketed. The Japanese agreement with Western lifestyles is killing them.
Reality is often heavily influenced by the Oz Factor of agreement. Agreements influence our perception of reality. A child’s perception of his environment, his religious and political ideas and viewpoints about people are often heavily influenced by agreement with his mother and father.
Be cautious with whom you agree. Carefully examine ideas and information before you agree. Just because the preacher says, “sex is evil” or the President says, “I’m not a crook”, does not make it reality.
Be careful about agreeing with Wicked Witches and Wizards who promote unworkable solutions. By your own observation decide what is real in the Physical Universe and in Your Own Universe. Your reality is based on your agreements.”
