Right, that's why I said, *ultimately* all states of consciousness are voluntary. This is not at all evident when one believes (mistakenly) one is solely an ego or soul stuck inside a Reality not of one's own making. Then we are identifying solely with the creature end of our creator-creature

My question to you would be why do you expect people to have the time to read it? I guess you feel most FFLers are unemployed and don't do anything but hang out on FFL all day. I have to meter my reading here. Most of the time I have to scan through your posts to see what the hell you're

The problem with the pubic is that the only people who seem to care are those who are unemployed or having a tough time financially. The presently employed seem to care less unless they are worried about being one pay check away from disaster. They avoid focusing on economic and political

The unemployed and those in financial distress are looking for a new job and financial assistance. The national debt and the budget deficit are the last things in their mind. On the other hand, the responsible citizens should be the ones who would lead the country to the best direction
