Does 2 + 2 = 4?Well, you’d THINK that anyone who was educated beyond caveman status would ALWAYS certainly affirm that it does. So, take the case of Juan Williams, as a “tolerable” public face, or mafia mouthpiece, for the left wing socialistic side of the political spectrum---those who advocate for the mob verses the individual. (An aside---around 50 years ago, as I ended my high school brainwashing career, one of the most memorable subjects I was assigned was to write a paper about the origin of ballads. The crux of it came down to an unanswerable (seemingly) pair---either an INDIVIDUAL or a GROUP created the first ballad.) If anyone lives AWAKE for long enough, after a quick or a slow dipping in the sewage flowing from the mouth of all Juan William types must either revolt one, OR become congruent with one’s own beliefs. 2 + 2 = 4.Thus, how many times does one need to be water boarded with the same old filth that escapes from all Juan Williams clones, before just seeing their visage or reading their name instantly results in the choice to turn them off? My lifetime of experience long ago raised my own tolerance of ANYTHING said by Barney Frank, et al, leftists to ZERO----don’t let them TELL you zip, and you don’t have to ASK anyone for permission to follow this habit. The choice of a good and HONEST life is to keep GOOD company, and to try your damnedest to avoid BAD company. I missed, therefore, the explosive statement by Williams, even as I usually try to observe what the hell O’Reilly is narrow casting through his window to the world, at any time. Remotes are GOD!“ The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall”---thank you, Jimmy Cliff! How salient this unhappy drug-era song is, in that it applies to fooled leftists, MAYBE, eventually, when they have been mugged by reality. Hence, BOTH Williams AND NPR, and its leading minions, are going from their haughty “ Hard Coming” position to a “ Hard Fall”! And, it still is---- FALL! Another way to understand the sad condition of programmed leftists, and even all of us, to varying extents, is that when it comes to surviving over time, our experiences, and most vitally, our reactions to them, necessarily result in any present-day noospheric condition. That is, our takes and opinions are at once shaped by nature AND nurture, through time. So, we resemble a tightly wound baseball. When born, you could say the core is our born “ nature”, our karma, our predispositions. And, then, the string starts to wind away! Well, in my tightly-wound-string opinion, leftists usually, especially as they get older, and don’t change---or are FORCED to change by real conditions--- can’t be reasoned with. How paradoxically funny, too! Consider a “Renaissance” man, like Christopher Hitchens. His whole Weltanschauung rests on the RATIONAL, and he, Pavlov-dog-like, always instantly repels any “irrational” threatening-to-him ideas. And, yet, as intellectual and bright as he doubtlessly is, he is as closed up as the hardest baseball, and his entire essential character is--- irrational! Finally, I had my own trivial Juan Williams moment. About twenty years ago, I was subbing in a school (Ygnacias Valley High School, I think) in the Concord, California area. The “lesson plan” for one class was, for me, great, because the teacher had arranged for these two young ladies to spend the hour promoting--- Earth Day like left wing crap. I suffered through the whole time, and couldn’t help myself, as it was ending. I asked the brainwashers if they were paid to do this, and who paid them. It was so “far out” to see them tighten up! Of course, they just ASSUMED, that like all “normal” teachers, I shared their far left agenda. The silence was deafening, as they oozed out of the room. I was never “invited” back to that school, and at year’s end got the news that I was unacceptable as a sub, for them! The teacher got his revenge, but it was worth it. Even so, I doubt my “subtle” dig even made an impression, let alone mattered, to the poor being-tightly-strung up students. Do YOU even remember ANY single class, or any substitute teacher---let alone, teacher? It is, though, always possible to make that hoary “ purse” from ANY “ sow’s ear” that makes up reality. Therefore, Obama, in his own unique tightly-wound-string way, couldn’t help but be himself, by invoking the idea of a “ teachable moment”. And, all along, HE is THAT---a gift that never stops giving! However, in Truth, the “teachable moment” phrase is really another simple way of saying what I have always tried to use as a “lens” through which to “view”, or process ANYTHING that comes into my consciousness--- don’t buy it!Look, life, at least material life, is indeed a CONSUMER driven reality. Just so, when it comes to thoughts and ideas. Does one BUY everything? NO!!!Being conscious IS to choose---Consciously. Be Consciousness Contemplate Consciousness. Transcend everything in Consciousness. This is the epitome of the way of Truth.

Fear Is "Thinking Clearly", Nowadays
The teaching moments that are Obama are not only continuing, but they are continuing to accelerate in both their frequency and their pithiness. I’d say that his recent throw away line about how scared people don’t think clearly has to be about the most vital one yet. What about “ fear”? Of course “ No Fear!”, as a happy face attempt to throw out one’s chest AND point of the jaw by asserting, essentially, that they are brave---one of the most key GOOD aspects of being alive--- has long been in CW. So, it’s pretty un-PC to admit to being afraid. However, fear has its uses, just as pain does. I have a wonderful book, “The Brilliant Function of Pain”, that proves what its title claims, not only wrt physical, but emotional and mental dimensions---and, let’s NOT forget the core spiritual one! Well, imagine a “book” that does the same about FEAR---right NOW, due to all kinds of nihilistic actions and intentions of various powerful people and institutions, such as Obama, et al, and Islam, not to mention the autocratic China and Russia, I claim that fear is the essential state of mind for anyone who’s learned the taught moments! When a lion is about to chase you, fear is most appropriate! We all know how this bodily “mood” physiologically puts the survival “fight or flight” systems into action. I claim those of us who have awakened to the logical fear sweeping the globe resemble a weak old grandmother, facing a car with its tire on their grand kid. From nowhere, she finds the “impossible” strength to lift that car and save the future of humanity. Just so, NOW. Never forget that our “betters”, epitomized by Obama, firmly believe they are way ahead of the “stupid” people who voted them into office! And, this means, basically, that they ALWAYS think that they can say and do ANYTHING, and talk their way out of ANY bad results. Also, even after they themselves have done a “bad” thing, like get donations from abroad, and hide this fact, they USE this memory to help them choose to claim their opponents did the same thing---with no evidence needed. J’accuse!Let’s cut to the “fear” chase. When Obama’s lips loosen the “sinking his ship” truth, as he sees it, about afraid people not thinking clearly because of their fear, of course it is easy to determine his understanding, AND the real truth about it. Obama---and Islam---are the attacking “ Lions”! It is GOOD to be afraid of them, and to act with all systems, bodily, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. People are MAD---there it is, emotionally. People think America is going to HELL---there it is, mentally. People VISCERALLY react to other people who look like enemies or dangerous types, such as those dressed like bin Laden or a mugger in the dark---there it is, bodily. What about the spiritual dimension? Well, as long as there is a self VERSES an other, fear is endemic, in truth. Indeed, every instant of our human bodily life is a continual struggle to maintain order---stay alive---while chaos is permeating our space-time. Do NOTHING---and soon enough, one dies. Even breathing and eating, while pleasurable enough, only keep the “alive” game going, until it stops. So, since mankind as a whole is so unevolved, at this time, and likely will be for many generations to come, the best we can do is live in the physically benign FEAR a civilized society maintains. Most every religion has a “ secret” teaching, necessarily kept hidden from those who are untested and immature, which in Absolute Radiant Transcendental Being truth is ONE. Actually, we should wake up and realize that even NOW, each human being is not only living accord to a Christian admonition, but is the bodily manifestation of it. Which one, you ask? “ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And, or, “ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”Notice the basic see-saw “ self-other”? Hey, we are all NEIGHBORS! A fin, the latter demand about “love” hinges on FIRST loving yourself. What a great and confusing test, perhaps the greatest teaching moment to “get right”! Truly, each “self” ALREADY loves itself! Narcissus lives. Merely to try to stay alive and feel good and prosper, in all ways, expresses such self love. But, AND, the impossible “dream” is to love the Self---the One without an other---of which ALL is the rising manifestation. Who can do THAT? Except---the SELF!!!

Democrats---the Vanguard of Islam
There are just so many distinctions without a difference, these days, that it’s hard to know where to focus. Also, since we awaken every day to a new reality---think of it as the Absolute Radiant Transcendental Reality changing like when one presses the refresh icon on a web page---which is indeed what re-incarnation is smoothly about, the thought hopper must be totally in the NOW. That necessarily means that previously learned facts tend to be crowded out. Just as the overweening expansion of mob power = government crowds out individuals in the economic marketplace, RIGHT NOW we are suffering the loss of remembrance of BASIC things past. I, personally, was just reminded of this, by Andrew McCarthy of NRO, as he expounded on a 1954 piece of writing by the inestimable Bernard Lewis, and what Robert Spencer, as well, has written concerning the essence of Islam. This is currently oh-so-painfully existentially pertinent, given the brouhaha Bill O’Reilly caused when he, from his position as top media dog, excoriated Islam on the TV show, The View. Islam is STILL defined by its own core tenets as a mostly this-worldly political movement, merely USING all the religious trappings about virgins, et al, which is Absolutely bent on totally taking over the world! Islam is totalitarianism!What is the dominant event, right NOW? The American election. And, since attention on all the thousands of individual races is so prevalent, the “eyes” of us all are being sucked into the vacuum “cleaner” that eschews concerns of Islam. We all love to celebrate the “win” in The Wizard of Oz, to wit pulling the curtain back to expose the wicked witch of the North. However, the most amazing “race” of humans is at once distracted by a “real” witch story in Delaware AND the ongoing string pulling by the TRUE witches who are STILL behind the curtain! Yes, when even a “wise” man like Charles Krauthammer remains in the dark about Islam, all one can do is understand the many millions of other fooled people, up and down the power chain. This ABSOLUTELY bodes suicidally ill for humanity. What will it take for a solid majority of non-Muslims to wake up? Also, isn't the only humane conclusion a present day Muslim can come to, if and when THEY truly understand their "religion's" core beliefs, is to leave that "religion"? Talk about an inescapable either-or! Actually, here is a most un-politically correct question--- Ask all “Krauthammer” types if they think all people who are Muslims, in their bottom line heart of hearts, would most wish that ALL humans were also Muslim? Of course THEY DO! NOW---the true Muslim believers ARE the extremists, and they are the vanguard of that religion, whose ONLY goal is to TAKEOVER the whole world. From any individual Muslim’s point of view---say an Obama, who thinks the call to Muslim prayer is the sweetest sound---isn’t it obvious? They want you to “enjoy” their own BLISS! Think of then as Jesus freaks on steroids, armed---soon with nukes?---with modern weapons. Are you scared, yet?
