Freedom is your sole possession greater in value than your body, it's health and welfare. Once entered and inhabited: a wealth beyond counting or measurement; immaterial

Always virgin, asexual, being both female and male in equal parts balanced.

Freedom is a soul unbound. Never enslaved by it's author: the energy, or self: what we by self-limiting call "God."

If I know God at all it is by the definition of others vastly different from me by creed. Meaning simply that their version is slightly different than mine but describes, what is in essence, the same qualities I live by and will die for; so vast is the love received: what matter me or my life in gift returned.

As I write I cannot eschew the orphans by AID's, poverty, ill health, violence domestic and international. Who, by any means or measures, simply die for our indifference to their plight.

I am ignoble in my concern; for there is too little, too late and insufficient my concern or mere awareness of the facts to aid them making their life the glory I know true of all life. And while the world was once awash in currency it is now hoarded by a few at the expense of many. In, of and for myself alone, I call them murder's. Yet as God leads so I follow to respect their choice by the implications of free will and foretell of no consequence greater than witness the consequence nakedly revealed as it is to me now, before now and endlessly conscious.

"The truth will set you free" -- LOOK IT UP! Yet this self evident truth espoused by Gandhi and Jesus and many -- many more of both genders and many creeds is ignored by those who instead of joy seek pleasure. I, while in concern of the millions, am equally conscious of the individual souls raped, tortured, mutilated and/or cut apart and hidden in shame; the crimes against not the one; but the all of us.

Add I am concerned for the theft of liberty by anyone or nation who would expunge Habeas Corpus thus holding captive without due process the laws of man. Astonished to find Abraham Lincoln invoked this in a time of war -- having too little time to ferret out his rational -- to me inexcusable especially of one who I presume a Saint.

Humankind's laws are reactionary, while God's are reasonable, as experienced by me: react versus proactive. By which I imply nothing but personal observance.  Obviously I am not religious but then neither is God.

We are.

I infer our adherence to statutes established in a time of few people, seem impractical, in a time of over population to the extent of being, roughly, at 1/3 over capacity. This earth, our home, and nest. Soon to rise at a fantastic rate; too many more than probable sustenance.

Take special interest in "The Ten Commandments" which I cannot argue theologically but think were established long before Moses was a twinkle in God's eyes. By oral tradition passed forward from before the time of Gilgamesh 2500 years before the birth, murder, resurrection of Jesus whose name was never "Christ" until after his death and worship by the goy.

There is no end to my love of and for God. Therefore I will close with the following: I am a patient man aggrieved by not merely the deaths of my children but of all children. So long as I have breathe can stand forward will I belabor those who hoard instead of share even the lesser part, a tithe, a mere ten percent.

Foot Note: In response to my published query for reasons, the popularity of my blog post on Eric Hoffer, this is my intuitive reply to the silence I received despite the greatest number of 'hits' of anything written by me.

Be well . . . the difference between aggression and assertion is that the former means the rape of Iraq the latter implies the commonwealth of life is shared . . . simplistic but close enough for now, for America.

Again be well and rejoice in all things, I say again rejoice and be well,
Amen

. . . addendum
an intuitive guess from Horace:

"Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant."
"Anger is a short madness."
"Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think."
"Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth."
"He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world."
"He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses."
"I am not bound over to swear allegiance to any master; where the storm drives me I turn in for shelter."
