MY CONCERNS WITH THE BIO-GENETIC ENGINEERING: XENOTRANSPLANTATION INDUSTRIES IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE UK, AND ITS AFFECT ON THE AMERICAN CHARACTER AND SPIRIT

(This Industry has been around since the 70's and is still affects the quality of life in this new millennium)



.... As an American woman of Christian German ancestry, whose family came out of pre-WWII Germany...to escape the country's blood-thirsty military regime and occult fanaticism.


I pray for the science socio-behavioral engineering minds in this country who can also see the past history of the absolute power blood-cult evils of this medical bio-tech genetic engineering industries involved with injecting human DNA into swine DNA---called xenotransplantation. I hope the experts can winnow out and expose the industries involved with the financing and promotions of this industry with its unethical tampering and crime involved with this kind of blood-thirsty genetic tampering industry that is anti-human kind, with its absolute blood-thirsty power and control problems---and how they arose in this country to begin with.



ON LIBERATING THE EDUCATED BLUE COLLAR LIBERAL'S PERCEPTION---as a liberal intelligence--- TO DETECH HI-TECH LYNCHING OCCULT BEHAVIORS IN QUESTIONABLE ENERGY INDUSTRIES

HOW DOES ONE BEGIN TO QUESTION....?????



I personally feel, that there are very questionable power issues of this industry (going on this country and also the UK) , which have potentially serious socio-behavioral repercussions in the quality of life concerns in the community ( as mentioned by 60 Minutes-CBS and a few other experts in the field) about this kind of corporate controversy; that the ethics and behaviors of this kind of genetic tampering should be better scutinized or exposed by more public social concern and the press and media. My question isalso this: the areas around which this controversy exists keeps changing....

I feel this industry has exploitive and coercive policies that lack basic human empathy and humanistic ethics---it is definitely anti-human kind. This xenotransplantation industry creates serious genetic sins within the country, is extremely painful to the swine used in these experiments---and ---my question is---may be having serious repercussions on the people and land where these "bio-tech" experiments take place. I personally feel there are serious spiritual, cultural and social ills and sins about this kind of genetic tampering, particularly about the highly questionable cruelty of the "injections" of the DNA processes. There should be more social concern about the evils---and the effects it has on our moral, spiritual and social consciousness "as a people", that takes pride in its cultural and spiritual heritage: We should all have access to information about what this industry entails-----(through the freedom of information act)
We should be asking more questions publically-- if "our American Spirit" is being tampered with by industries like the xenotransplantation industry--injecting human DNA unethically into swine DNA using forceful genetic manipulative engineering. Are we, as a spiritual people, going back to being tempted by the serpent (as Eve was in Eden)---being subliminally led and coercively corrupted by the indirect policies with the technology involved with the engineering of this genetic tampering of injecting human DNA into swine DNA? This, I also feel, is a serious global social issue---one that may be of concern to our involvement in the war with overseas cultural intelligence and foreign countries who may disagree with this issue of swine genetic manipulation. We may also be causing needless suffering--- one of (mass) social cultural woes and (mass) destruction of the american spirit as there is a spiritual destruction of an unforgiveable curse, involving human sodomy in swine, with this technology. There is also a (mass) cultural woe and (mass)destruction of an ethical global one---one of basic moral humanistic trust---when an industry turns itself to levels of power where they alone choose to play god with the dimensions of human values and human intelligence and swine genes.

I feel there was, and still is, grave victimization ( perhaps seriously for our spirituality as a people, and for the moral and spiritual integrity we have within our own familes, for women in particular) ---concerning the greed and forceful coercive manipulation of this corporate deceit. Its sad that the corporate world has made a mad hierarchal issue and target about "animals" and have lost sight of human values entirely. The market is now a global one. There are also quality of life concerns for our children and for our own the poor---from these unresolved suppressed issues of that industry and corporate culture involved with promoting unethical exploitation of intelligent human values and intelligent american interests.

There is too much secrecy and no-talk law policies involved with the abuses of this industry. I have felt the culture of the politics of blame enter with the turmoil of industry's controversies itself--- I question this industrie's selfish-cult ambitious interests and selfish-cult exploitations of the American public and the American spirit. These behaviors --pretentious, unfeeling, arrogant and absolutely self-righteous attitudes in certain corporate social circles---is a basic cult-hierarchy of indifference .

"Conscience is the only voice of values long and deeply infused into ones sinews and blood [and genes]. "
Elliott L. Richardson


I feel there is a serious problem with the corporate industries and their cultures that promote a policy or "Politics of Blame" intentionally---on the public---especially with intent aimed at those who are astutely perceptive enough to ask good questions in important life issues---who are natural question askers in the life around them and who naturally go out and look for the answers ---especially---
those who encourage empowerment causes in the social lives of others-----

those with good question asking and information gathering skills---
those who are good referent-power public-image role models,
those who have excellent communicaton skills and philosophical wisdom from a down home life experience and who are aware and perceptive of relevant social issues in the community---
those who are good social and spiritual role models and leaders in the community, with a strong natural respect for other liberal christian heterosexuals...
those who live in areas where good information gathering is still not encouraged or recognized, or a basic priority, but treated as a special threat;
those who live in areas where absolute righteousness has taken over the way of life---
those who live in areas of our community where basic human needs are never mentioned---
those who live in areas of our community where certain crimes are never mentioned or recognized---
those who live in areas of our community where our basic freedoms of speech and to speak out and protest the injustices of certain corporate culture behaviors are not a basic family way of life or a socially supported institution;
those who live where cultural and spiritual empathy---where basic human empathy-----may not be found in the social attitudes around them.........

I feel I have to protest industries such as these; the xenotransplanation industry---the human to swine DNA tampering industies---where the swine to human organ transplant bio-tech engineering is going on in our country now, with its questionable, uncensored, undocumented genetic tampering of human DNA that has been ---and still is presently---being injected into swine DNA.


"All my bones shall say,
" O Lord, who is like unto Thee,
which has deliverest the poor
from him that is too strong for him,
the weak and needy from him who despoils him?"

Psalm 35:10

21-039.jpg

"Rough wind, that moanest loud​
Grief too sad for song;​
Wild wind, when sullen cloud​
Knells all the night long;​
Sad storm, whose tears are vain,​
Bare woods, whose brances strain,​
Deep caves and dreary main,---​
Wail, for the world's wrong."​

Shelley

THE IMPOSSIBLE IS OFTEN UNTRIED....


pinkfloyd.jpg






CREATION DREAM

centered on silence
counting on nothing
i saw you standing on the sea
and everything was
dark except for
sparks that turned to
wings around you
angel voices mixed with seabird cries
fields of motion
surging outward
questions that contain their own replies....

you were dancing
i saw you dancing
trhowing your arms towards the sky
fingers opening
like flares
stars were shooting everywhere
lines of power bursting outward
along the channels of your song
mercury waves flashed
underyour feet
shots of silver in the shell pink dawn...

"NO MORE VICTIMS, PLEASE"

Condensed from "A NATION OF VICTIMS: THE DECAY OF THE AMERICAN CHARACTER,"
Charles J. Sykes

BEHAVIORS THAT SUPPORT THE POLITICS OF BLAME:

An FBI agent embezzles a couple of thousand dollars from the government, then loses all of it gambling in Atlantic City. The man is fired, but he wins reinstatement after a court rules that his affinity for gambling with other people's money is a "handicap" and thus protected under federal law.

In Virginia, a special-education teacher sues in federal court after she repeatedly fails to achieve the minimum acceptable score on a standarized national test. The teacher claims she was discriminated against solely on the basis of her handicap because the test did not accomodate her slowness in understanding written and spoken information. A federal judge dismisses her suit, but the Fourth U.S. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS overrules the lower court and reistates her claim. (After a subsequent dismissal, the case is once again on appeal.)

American life is increasingly characterized by the plainitive insistence:
I AM A VICTIM:
From the drug addicts of the ghettos (our local towns and communities) to the self-help groups (and drop-in centers) of the suburbs,
the mantra is the same:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE; IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
POWERFUL GROUPS HAVE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL STAKES IN EXTENDING THE BOUNDARIES OF THIS SOCIETY OF VICTIMS---
USING POLITICAL BEHAVIORS THAT SUPPORT THE POLITICS OF BLAME


If you total up the groups---women, blacks, poor youths, Native Americans, the enemployed, the poor---that various representatives claim are oppressed, political scientist Aaron Wildavsky has calculated, their number adds up to 374 percent of the population. Increasingly, victim-vs.-victim politics seems to frame our social and political debates. That was dramatically highlighted during the battle over Judge Clarence Thomas's confirmation to the U.S. SUPREME COURT. Both Thomas and the accuser, Anita Hill, portrayed themselves as victims: she of sexual harrassment, he of racism and a "high-tech lynching."

There are, of course, real vicitms. Neither racism nor sexism is a myth; too many men and women continue to experiecne prejudice. The handicapped still face daunting barriers in everyday life. But our concern for those who suffer genuine misfortune or injusitce is sorely tested as victim status is claimed increasingly by such people as obese, the subjects of "lookism" (Bias against the unattractive), and the otherwise psychically scarred.

Stripped of its pretensions, VICTIMISM IS AN IDEOLOGY OF THE EGO, an impulse to deny personal responsibility and to obsess on one's grievances by stressing self-expression over self-control. Like the sulking teen-ager who insists, "It's not fair," the eternal victim is voicing the conviction that the world exists to supply his or her immediate needs and desires.

The culture of victimization is deeply entrenched......
There is a big difference between basing rights upon respect and basing them on personal grievances ( and ego needs). And there are signs that the difference is being recognized.......

Holding people responsible for their behavior means restoring social stigmas that shrink the zone of acceptable conduct. ...Re-creating the moral contract---with its power to dish out OPPROBRIUM---gives back to the poor an essential weapon in the struggle against despair and decline.

Our civil rights are not necessarily best protected by endlessly extending defintions of oppression and discovering new classes of victims. The weight of the law should be brought to bear against individual acts of discrimination rather than be used to create blanket group entitlements. So, too, our attention should be directed toward helping the genuinely handicapped rather than expanding the categories of disability. Lawmakers and juries should remain skeptical of any creative attempts to further redefine aberrant conduct as psychological infirmity....

Recognizing our own responsibility and the need to stop blaming others is the first step toward dismantling THE CULTURE OF VICTIMIZATION. THIS DOES NOT MEAN SUSPENDING THE SEARCH FOR JUSTICE, BUT IT DOES MEAN WE SHOULD STRIVE FOR A MORATORIUM ON THE POLITICS OF BLAME.

TENSEGRITY

Carlos Castenedas

"A pattern of principles and consciousness---that results when push and pull have win-win relationships..."

"If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession."

Wheel of Time

"A warrior must focus his attention on the link between himself and his death. Without remorse or sadness or worrying, he must focus his attention on the fact that he does not have time and let his actions flow accordingly. He must let each of his acts be his last battle on earth, under these conditions will his acts have their rightful power. (Otherwise they will be acts of a foll for as long as he lives.)

THE ACTIVE SIDE OF INFINITY

"....by discipline, I don't mean harsh routines. I don't mean waking up every morning at five-thirty and throwing cold water on yourself until you're blue. Shamans understand discipline as the capacity to face with serentiy the odds that are not included in our expectations. For them, discipline is an art....the art of facing infinity without flinching, not because they are strong and tough, but because they are filled with awe......(syntactics)

THE WARRIOR IS A BEING WHO LIVES LIFE FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH PERCEPTION, WITH EXPLORING ENDLESS POSSIBILITES FOR HUMAN AWARENESS, THAT ORDINARILY REMAINS UNTAPPED...."CROSSING OVER TO ONE'S FREEDOM".....WARRIORS CAN KEEP THEIR AWARENESS, WHICH IS ORDINARILY RELINQUISHED AT THE MOMENT OF DYING...AT THE MOMENT OF "CROSSING OVER TO TOTAL FREEDOM" THE BODY IS ENTIRELY KINDLED WITH KNOWLEDGE. EVERY CELL AT ONCE BECOMES AWARE OF ITSELF AND ALSO AWARE OF THE TOTALITY OF BODY.



The word Tensegrity is borrowed from an architect, engineer, scientist and dreamer whom Carlos Castenedas admired, R. Buchminster Fuller, who described tensegrity as a combination of tensional integrity: the forces at work in a structure that is formed by a finite network of compression or rigid elements interconnected or rigid elements interconnected through tensile, or elastic (flexible) elements which give the structure its overall integrity. Due to the elastic properties of the interconnections---when one element of the tensegrity structure is shifted, this shift is spread throughout the whole structure, and all the other elements shift as well, or adapt for a new configuration---yielding to this shift without breaking.......

Tensegrity refers to the tensing and the relaxing of tendons and muscles and their energetic counterparts ( as a physical and energetic unit)

Tensegrity is the art of adapting one's own energy--to EACH OTHER'S ENERGY---IN A WAY THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE
COMMUNITY ..........

THE SKILLFUL EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION:
ON SELF MASTERY AND THE STEADY FORCE OF ATTITUDE

"We have love the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

An epitaph of two amateur astronomers




"The patriot volunteer fighting for his or her rights makes the most reliable soldier on earth."


"How do you indicate to the individual that information power is power, and is power as perception...and perceptive validation for one's life experience---without dictating it to him?"

"INTERNATIONAL ENOUGH DAY"

an article by Afshin Levy 9/12/02
www.iranian.com/Opinion/2002/September/Enough

This writer protests the President's and Cogress's decree to make 9/11 "PATRIOT DAY". This author would like to see it called, "INTERNATIONAL ENOUGH DAY:"

".....There should be no PATRIOT DAY, no day for further emphasizing that we're different. Instead, let's say ENOUGH! ENOUGH of putting the interests on any one nation above the interests of the human race. ENOUGH dwelling on small differences...ENOUGH killing each other over them. ENOUGH, hate, enough fear, enough hunger, enough violence, enough bombing, enough, ENOUGH...." (!!!!)

[Personally,*I think he should be using the phrase: "SAY ENOUGH to..."]

************************************************

"IN THE LIGHT---9/11"



MAYBE WE SHOULD BE THINKING OF 9/11 BEING


"LIFE FORCE AND LIGHT ENERGY DAY" BESIDES BEING "PATRIOT DAY"​





In my opinion, this article offers insight into a more realistic global perspective of our American culture and how our American Image and American Spirit could use some global quality assessment. Gathering a perspective of other global minds and cultural value opinions is a good reality test for all Americans and the American Spirit as well. A global perspective helps to bridge human integrity, feedback and empathy into the corporate cultures and corporate agendas around us. It helps to (democratically) assess where our basic levels of humanity and humanistic values are going both politically and culturally globally. Information gathering and sharing (which is information power) are universal keys to good self esteem and emotional and spiritual intelligence both individually, and as a people, who honor their ties to their country and countrymen.

Having 9/11 called "PATRIOT DAY" personally, I feel, may not be a great idea at all---culturally or politically. The PATRIOTISM that comes out of a PATRIOT DAY may not promote valuable cultural exchanges in a global arena where we have been losing thme all along. I think we have to review and reassess (audit) ( or SWOT analysis) our own corporate and cultural values first (especially of our own media and advertising policies; of the genetic bio-tech engineering in the medical arena) before we set such a high agenda naming a day like that---realisitically---first. Second, we should have had a vote of all the people, a democratic majority, of how we should name this day--- and honor the day, instead of assuming it from the President and Congress alone.

Again, about having a PATRIOT DAY, and on the perspective of PATRIOTISM in our own country---we did have a time of it protesting for our liberal values and all our freedoms, and our principles of patriotism, as a people in the 60's. The movements were about protesting the corporate powers of the time; protesting death in the war; and protesting the nuclear power agendas that were riding all along on the back burners of political and corporate turmoil, and the social unrest of the central Jersey Shore area I came from. All these movements appeared to be about liberating our LIBERAL VALUES of PATRIOTISM as free thinking, freedom loving people---and was a long time coming. However, out of all this protest---we lost some of the greatest thinkers and leaders of strong liberal values we have ever had in our history---with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert Kennedy. This losing of these leaders---these great minds---these great men---these strong leaders----we lost some of the greatest minds for leadership values, and again, our liberal intelligence as a people.

I sadly believe this has affected the quality of leadership in our own country for quite a long time now, and blindly we go on, though we are an intelligent people.

We have lost so much with our own corporate turmoils still with bio-tech industries and porcine genetic tampering on the back burners and nuclear power agendas at bay---and the cover up "Politics of Blame" cultures of the times...

We have benefitted so much with the sharing of cultural values in cultural diversity in our own country---especially in our media---with the influence of great leadership overseas. In India, for example, we have so many great words of wisdom from both Gandhis, as with some of the other eastern religions. We have shared some of the greatest non-violent principles of protest and urging reform in our system through the concepts of PATRIOTISM from these other countries.

PATRIOTISM is such a strong part of our American values and our spiritual integrity as a people in this country. However, it too---has to evolve and develope into a more flexible consciousness in the people---one that promotes more self-awareness in our perception and service in the life around us---and not self-righteous arrogance. We also have to look at patriotism as needing more emotional and spiritual intelligence support in the consciousness of the people. We can sink to levels of absolute self-righteous indifference in any prompted ideas of patriotism in the cultures in our communities. We do, however, need more EMPOWERMENT as a people and more EMPOWERED GRASS ROOTS ORGANIZATIONS ( EMPOWERMENT drop-in centers ) that encourage good information gathering and sharing---that share information of what empowered principles ( assertive skills, good communication skills ) and whatr emotional intelligence is in the cultures around us. An American Cultural Empowerment movement would encourage good question asking---timely, relevant information sharing in the social attitudes and cultures around our communities. Information power---perception as a valued gift---should be in the minds and consciousness of the people---instead of cultures that use suppression and power of the politics of blame and cover up in the communities. Our democracy and our system of government is the best the world has ever seen. I do take pride ( and full measures of social esteem) in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and that we have good reason to fight for our freedoms, even here in our country. We have to remember, at times of remembering 9/11 though, we also have civil rights to protect our liberal values, liberal leadership skills, and creative liberal intelligence in this country.

PATRIOT DAY may still possibly sound like a name that could prompt more of the raging "Politics of Blame" to me....people...power brokers needing a scapegoat to cover up for their own raging need of power and abuse in their jobs---and self-seeking self-righteous work cultures in the communties around us.

Alot of our culture hinges on the levels of what we screen for, and hope to find in our social and cultural behaviors around us. We are greatly lacking in humanisitc values in our work place behaviors, because our state office jobs---which are highly prized---do not require integrity testing or personality testing in their employment standards and most people are led to feel they are above all accountability for their certain power and behavior problems in their work cultures. Blanket policies that support the Politics of Blame in the culture around them is not the poltical or healthy meritous solution, to the loss of good liberal innovative insight (spiritual integrity) in the quality of life issues in our communities. We have to put more spiritual integrity back into our work and our law policies and testing, attitude surveying and screening standards in our blue collar communties.

I like what the writer of this article suggest and I added a few more thoughts about "SAY ENOUGH TO:..."

~ SAY ENOUGH TO PUTTING ONE NATION'S INTERESTS ABOVE THE INTERESTS OF THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE

~ SAY ENOUGH TO ABSOLUTE POWER GAMES---AND THE POLITICS OF BLAME AND THE WORK AND CORPORATE CULTS WHO FEEL THEY ARE ABOVE ACCOUNTABILITY

~ SAY ENOUGH TO AGENDAS OF BLAME THAT DENY BASIC HUMAN EMPATHY IN THEIR POLICIES

~ SAY ENOUGH TO HATE, PRIDE, ARROGANCE, SELFISH DEMEANING ADDICTIONS AND INCURABLE PASSIONS---

~ SAY ENOUGH TO POLITICS OF BLAME COVER UPS, FOR EXPLOITIVE AND SICK KINDS OF POWER GAMES

~ SAY ENOUGH TO RAGE AND VIOLENCE AND SADO GAMBLING MARKET GAMES

~SAY ENOUGH TO SELF-RIGHTEOUS INDIFFERENCE

We should on this day find our own way of expressing grief for those who lost their lives on 9/11---and Hurricane Katrina and also grieve for the indifference in the quality of life concerns in all the communities around us in our nation.

Take time to celebrate life---a few moments of silence; reflections of the Spirit of God in our minds and hearts and our dreams; creative liberal spirit hopes we cherish and hold on to:
wherever we're from; whatever people we are; whatever we believe; whatever walk of life we come from!

WE ARE STILL HERE!

OUR SPIRIT WITHIN US IS STILL A GIFT!

OUR DREAMS AND OUR CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE VALUES ARE A GIFT!

OUR FAITH AND LOVE OF GOD IS A GIFT!

OUR PERCEPTION IS A GIFT!

OUR EMPATHY! WHAT THE LIFE SHOULD NATURALLY BE ABOUT IS A GIFT!

OUR HEALTHY, NON-POLITICAL ATTITUDES, WHICH NATURALLY HONOR THE LIFE AROUND US IS A GIFT!

OUR HEALTHY ATTITUDES THAT HONOR THE LIFE AROUND US IS A GIFT!

OUR HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, ALL OUR QUESTION-ASKING, OUR INQUISITIVE MINDS, ALL OUR INFORMATION GATHERING AND SHARING---INFORMATION POWER WORKING AMIDST US IS A GIFT!

OUR LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL LIFE, AND THE FREEDOM GOF INTENDED FOR US TO LIVE IS A GIFT!

OUR EMPATHY! OUR SELF-AWARENESS! OUR PERCEPTION AS ALL POWER...OF LIFE VALUES IS A GIFT!

We will remember to honor the Spirit of God in the life around us in thoughts of you! In our work day world, through all cultures of the world we may greet around us!

Maybe we should be rethinking this day as being a day to be conscious of Holy Spirit moving in our lives and in those around us; to be conscious and appreciative of our own life force and the light energy God has given us--for His guiding love and light and power and perceptive intelligence in our own lives...and look to better expose the behaviors that use raging blame and control policies, that seek to attack liberal values and liberal christian spirit in the perception of others in our own cultures---for the sake of those who do love God, and the God-given faith and insight only higher intelligence can give us.....

On Protesting our Rights to the 14th Amendment:
The 14th Amendment is the DUE PROCESS AMENDMENT TO ALL NATURAL BORN CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY---which is being denied to some of us to protest against the systems's discrimination, abuse and unjust policies of the medical and mental health systems........

"IN THE LIGHT"

MEDITATIONS OF DIVINE LIGHT ENERGY IN OUR HUMAN DNA.......

The bible has appearently a few paradoxal principles I'm still trying to figure out how to interpret and apply in my own life. One of the biggest paradoxes is the one with the false god "MAMMON" or the god of money. "MAMMON" is a new testament word.

LUKE 16:13:
Luke 16:13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Below,it appears that the Lord's thoughts of MAMMON appear to be contrary or paradoxal to this previous passage:

LUKE 16:8-10
Luke 16:8-108 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

This is perplexing to me.
Aren't we all the children of the world and of the light...???
considering our infrastructure is all based on light and light energy anyway, although as liberal christians we have to assert our faith and our moral value principles, and sometimes our own boundary sense, from seriously--- serious and shrewd world market wheeler and dealers of the system we live in........

Supposedly knowledge of "THE LIGHT" is naturally with the market analysts, the science and engineering majors, tech wizes, and the true light of God believers---as "AKA's"---"THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT" and "AKA"---"Holy Spirit"---however there is no 14th Amendment rights to Holy Spirit. It would be an interesting study if there could be a bridge between our sciences and our faith---not necessarily of a particular religion---but of any christian faith which maintains the covenant of Christ with integrity and respect to Holy Spirit---which can bridge the ethical integrity of some the genetic sciences and technologies globally...Where will our 14th Amendment be heading---with faith and our rights to have legal counsel when there are abusive exploitive cults in the culture around us....

What kinds of light are involved with our light energy industries anyway....?
not just microwaves, or x-rays...but also gamma rays...power plant electrical power...power plant nuclear waves....


and where does it concern us as christians in our christian faith???---as the true children of light/vs children of the world/vs mammon---??? and "LIGHT" also being the "LIGHT OF GOD" and of "HOLY SPIRIT"??? All as AKA's of course...

but all as law abiding principles of good faith good business practices...........

And wind does come from the light---light is of the wind---and also of good synergisitc business principles as well............but again---with the question---where is our 14th Amendment going with asserting our rights---when extrememly exploitive enterprises wishing to "pull the wool over the eyes" of our christian principles with exploitive cults of seduction and rage against the true faith of Holy Spirit in the life and mind and spirit----and the eyes of the believer (s)......
JOHN 3:8:
John 3:8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

MATTHEW 13:39:
Matthew 13:39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

QUESTIONS OF FAITH, ETHICS, CIVIL RIGHTS AND SPIRITUAL VALUES:
"THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT" IN A NUCLEAR BIO-TECH TESTING ENGINEERING AGE

WHERE are our empowerment drop-in centers to information gather in our communities? We need to gather good liberal minded question-asking people---for good information power sharing in our communities---empowerment groups--to promote protection of some of our rights and promote more survey taking and awareness of what makes for good self-esteem in our communities.....
WHERE are our beach storm prayer groups going and where are our beach storm prayer parties going now, Lord?
WHERE are our weather sciences GOING?.....WHY AREN'T there any christian weather forecasters on christian weather stations on TV who can forecast the weather with other quality circle weather science christians with prayers--- who can better assess what weather prayers our country will be needing for our future mega-storm age we have entered, and ask the public's assistance with prayer for our weather---and trust in the Lord who can calm the waves and the winds of the storms....
WHERE ARE our ethical bio-tech genetic-engineering behavior-managment-science principles going with our age of genetic engineering using our light energy/wind/spirit engineering principles and as we are the children of light--- curious freedom-loving rights-deserving people?




For myself, all I know is that God gives us Holy Spirit; a gift from God, who gives light to my soul and validates all matter around me...whcih also pentrates everything for the cause of light and truth and spirit---For His Glory---Glory to God in the Highest---within my spirit also....

MAMMON is a false god of riches, worldy treasure and absolute greed.
