Another one from Robert A. Monroe's "Ultimate Journey"

 "There is no beginning, there is no end, there is only change.

There is no teacher, there is no student, there is only remembering.

There is no good, there is no evil, there is only expression.

There is no union, there is no sharing, there is only one.

There is no joy, there is no sadness, there is only love.

There is no greater, there is no lesser, there is only balance.

There is no stasis, there is no entropy, there is only motion.

There is no wakefulness, there is no sleep, there is only being.

There is no limit, there is no chance, there is only a plan.

This is as we know it to be."

Thank you.  I accept this.

Look around yourself. Is there any more in existence than that which you perceive to be true in your present state? What about the other 1/3 of your life?

This is just another symptom of the delusional thinking that now grips the nation, especially among the educated and well-intentioned.

I say this because I detect in this strident plea the desperate wish to keep our "Happy Motoring" utopia running by means other than oil and its byproducts. But the truth is that no combination of solar, wind and nuclear power, ethanol, biodiesel, tar sands and used French-fry oil will allow us to

God is the Creator, the Creation and the Created. God not only created a being in his image, but also created the natural world, the world the bible calls Creation, Adam and Eve called Eden, and we call Earth. If we are created in his image and likeness, is it not God's will that we are to be respecters of all life, of all creation? God's will is not that man is to have dominion over nature, but that man is to be good stewards of His Creation. Eden was created for man's pleasure, not for his disposal.

My dream for mankind is not just to live sustainably, but also to enhance the quality of life for all God's creatures. We are here to participate in the creative, divine process that has been guiding life since the first day of
