compassion, collaboration & cooperation iN transistion
For the three score years and ten that Linnie and I have been together in mind and
spirit • which has been bookended by the circumstances and consequences of two
World Wars and the complete and utter mess that the so-called elite of the UK/EU
and for that matter the USA also, now find themselves in, with regard to and respect
for Colin Mason's predictions of The 2030 Spike and A Short History of The Future
• here we are today faced with yet another Parliamentary Election, which is wholly
dependant on the majority voice of the people, when ME/WE are still waiting for the
majority vote of the people to Leave the EU, to be acknowledged and implemented.
LEAVE MEANS LEAVE and NO THING that has been spoken about by any of
the contenders, other than THE BREXIT PARTY provides THE REQUIRED
copper-bottomed commitment to DO SO.
So when your governments tell you how valuable our banking system is, and
how important our financial services sector is, don’t believe them. Most of it is as
valuable to our lives and as energetically parasitic as a Flu virus. For sure, we need
old-fashioned banks who help us move money around, and take care of our savings
BUT the [ONE] THING that [IS] absolutely certain is that "WHEN WE AWAKEN to the
infinite panorama of evolution, we realise ourselves to be nothing less than the very
leading edge of a fourteen-billion-year cosmic process • a cosmic process that gave
rise to the vast matter and energy • that created galaxies, planets, and stars. That
process created the conditions that made it possible for biological life to emerge
around four billion years ago. And then, from biological life, 200,000 years ago
mind burst forth as the dramatic beginning of human consciousness and culture."
TOUCHING EVERYTHING • WITH DEEP AWARENESS
[IS] IT NOT the concept of "ENTITLEMENT" • namely
the believing oneself to be inherently deserving of
privileges or special treatment • that lies at the
very core of the issues with which the human[KIND]
of our "Pale Blue Dot " or Spaceship Earth...
IS INDEFATIGABLY & INDISPUTABLY NOW FACED !!!???
WHEN POWER INCREASES • EMPATHY DECREASES

Nearly half a century after Alexis de Tocqueville’s classic Democracy in America, another European observer crossed the Atlantic to assess the state of the American experiment. James Bryce, the English historian and statesman, arrived in America for an extended tour in the middle of the 1880s, at a time not unlike our own. It was the height of the Gilded Age, and the country was grappling with inequalities of wealth, rising levels of immigration, rapid economic transition and questions about the United States’ role in the world. An astute chronicler–he was a practicing politician, a venerable professor of civil law at Oxford, and would later serve as the British ambassador to the U.S.–Bryce published his reflections in a two-volume work, The American Commonwealth.
Among his insights was a warning of the dangers of a renegade President. To Bryce, the real threat to the Constitution came as much from the people as from the White House. Disaster would strike American democracy, Bryce believed, at the hands of a demagogic President with an enthusiastic public base. “A bold President who knew himself to be supported by a majority in the country, might be tempted to override the law,” Bryce wrote. “He might be a tyrant, not against the masses, but with the masses.”

IDEAS can lead to the sharing of a wealth of understanding,
which undoubtedly provides the potentiality of the qualitative
enhancement & advancement of the EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS.
The future of that process, however, since the very outset of
HOMO SAPIENS, has been in the "hands" and MINDs of OUR
species. A species which is driven by the dual concepts of benefit
for the individual and benefit for the collective • concepts which
can so easily be diverted to the use of THE POWER of KNOWLEDGE
for GOOD or EVIL • SO let us now consider the fact that America's
best IDEA to date, was most probably the establishment of the
Yellowstone National Park; and that the TIME has N•O•W arrived
for humanity to resume the continuation of [IT]'s ever urgent
quest to "GET BACK to NATURE" !!!???
