When we use force to do anything we are always met with force in return. This is a basic universal principle. Ghandi understood that. Buddha understood that. Jesus understood that. MLK understood that. Every great teacher who has ever lived understood that. Nothing even comes close to being as powerful as the power of LOVE. First love of yourself as a beautiful creation of the Creator (by whatever name you choose to call him/her/it) Then love of your fellow man/neighbor as though he/she were yourself. Which in truth they are. Every great spiritual teacher who ever lived taught that there is only ONE of us. In the words of Jesus: "Hear O Israel (Seeker of Truth) The Lord thy God is ONE." IF you want to really and truly connect with those around you here is an exercise for you to try which I guarantee will not leave you unmoved. Walk up to another person and place your left had on their right shoulder and your right hand on their heart and look them right in the eye and say to them: "I SEE you. I FEEL you. I CARE about you. I behold the DIVINE in you." I promise you will be in tears of joy very shortly. Doing this not only raises your awareness and your vibrations it raises the vibrations of the entire movement and indeed the entire world. If you could get everyone in the movement to do this it would literally change the world overnight. Get as many people as possible to sing the Peace Song as often as possible. Hold hands. Be ONE with each other and with your surroundings. ANd do not forget that there is not a human bieng alive or dead or animal or tree that is not your brother and sister. Yes that includes our "oppressors" as well. God made them too. The only reason they are our oppressors is becasue we allowed them to become so because we were to busy/lazy/indifferent to stay informed and to stay involved in our government OF THE PEOPLE and BY THE PEOPLE. Thank you all so very much for doing what I cannot do at the moment. May god bless each and every one of you and keep you safe and warm and fed.

True, we are too busy, lazy and indifferent to stay informed, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

So true. 1% have the wealth, but the 99% have each other. Which is more valuable than all the money in the world!

"In the words of Jesus: 'Hear O Israel, The Lord they God is One,'" those weren't Jesus' words, that was the Old Testament. I appreciate where Christianity is coming from but they're too Jesus heavy. Jesus was a great Jew; don't forget your roots. Also most people are Atheist these days and could not give a fuck about your exercise. Religion needs to figure out how to communicate a better message than waiting for a messiah to fix the world's problems. Religion should seek the messiah in everyone. As you say, we are all one.

A PETE MCGRAIN FILM IN ASSOCIATION WITH MEDIA FOR ACTION: Hosted by WOODY HARRELSON This powerful documentary examines the flaws in our systems, the mechanisms that work against Democracy, the environment, and society as a whole: From conflicts of interest in politics, the abuses of corporate power, to a news media that serves the interests of the few, leading to the destruction of our ecosystems, over consumption and warfare. This controversial documentary is in post production. Watch it free online here: http://www.ethosthemovie.com/filmdownload.htm
