of ONE SELF. As my zaadz profile explained - I was raised in the Church of England - but my left handed, gemini & dyslexic disposition - ambidextrocity happens as a result of left-handers living in a right-handed world - allowed me to question what I was been encouraged to think, believe & know as TRUTH. The vast majority of priests & politicians - and their latter day cohorts the scientists & academics - have conspired to manipulate the juxtoposition of the past and the future to blind the populace to the REALITY of the HERE & NOW - and in so doing prevent each and everyone of us from having the essence of ZEN experience which Eckhart Tolle refers to as - walking along the razor's edge of NOW. It is THE art of ZEN indeed - purely as a mechanism of understanding - that has made me a better believer in Jesus as Jesus, NOT Jesus as Christ and as such realise that he was indeed only one of a whole line of prophets expounding the word of god - and yet very concise in his reference to the Kingdom. I also acknowledge that - a new life IS, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth - which of course is the Kingdom of GOD - but in view of the fact that - Racism originates not in the skin but in the human mind. Remedies to racial prejudice, xenophobia and intolerance must accordingly address first and foremost those mental illusions that have for so many thousands of years given rise to false concepts of superiority and inferiority among human populations.
At the root of all forms of discrimination and intolerance is the erroneous idea that humankind is somehow composed of separate and distinct races, peoples or castes, and that those sub-groups innately possess varying intellectual, moral, and/or physical capacities, which in turn justify different forms of treatment.
The reality is that there is only the one human race. We are a single people, inhabiting the planet Earth, one human family bound together in a common destiny, a single entity created from one same substance, obligated to “be even as one soul.”

Hot Air Balloon race where the balloons, take off from identifiable
points on the ground, and as a each balloon gradually climbs
naturally to the right whilst traversing the states of Arizona, Utah,
Colorado, and New Mexico, they finally return to the take off site
and the balloon which lands closest to it's take off position is
declared the winner.
... when [IT] came to the time that our Bucks Hot Air Balloon Group needed to replace our trusty original Balloon Canopy et al, I was volunteered to take charge of the Design Process and so the play on words [BuckSHOT] IDEA of utilising the fact that farmers have been known to use a blunderbuss and buckshot to deter balloonists from flying too low over their livestock, I came up with the IDEA of Buckshot [BE]ing fired at the balloon and was subsequently able to secure the registration G-SHOT from the Civil Aviation Authority.

platonic values, goodness and truth exist at the fundamental level of space | time geometry, which can influence actions, if we are open to them, and it interconnects us to all other human beings and the universe at large.
