(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?

Here is a fascinating and informative website. It tracks earthquakes in real time everywhere in the world and provides technical information about location, magnitude, animated maps and related news stories. This site also shows the location of the tectonic plates of Earth: http://ds.iris.edu/seismon/

My personal observation of is that the QUACKS who call themselves “doctors of western psychological medicine” do not have ANY CLUE about the spiritual nature of human beings and life forms in general. They are so simple-minded and psychically crippled that they think the ONLY UNIVERSE is the physical universe. They actually think that YOU are a BODY and that YOUR THOUGHTS are coming from a ten pound PIECE OF MEAT called a brain! The simple truth that humans are spiritual beings, who animate the physical form of a body, has been demonstrated a hundred billion times throughout thousands to generations! When a human dies, the spiritual being departs from the body! If you aren’t aware of this phenomenon, please get yourself educated. Just GOOGLE “Reincarnation” and “Out-of-Body-Experience”. Read a few of the hundreds of books about these subjects written by people who are not “medical scientists” — the self-appointed priests of the physical universe.
Of course artists and any other normal, creative person could not possibly be “sane”! “Sanity” is agreement with “reality”, which the priests of Western medicine define as “the physical universe”. If you are in utter, unimaginative agreement with the physical universe you cannot possibly be an artist! Artists are the creators of universes.
Artists are the empathetic makers of aesthetic realities: love, passion, truth, justice, honesty and equanimity are the domain of the artist and the spiritual being. How can an artist endure existence in a universe made only of cold, brutal forces — devoid of compassion and spirit — without being “insane”? If artists are “insane”, then I am proud and privileged to be considered one of them! — Lawrence R. Spencer. 2012

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.
