It no longer takes sending a man on horseback to Washington to represent my vote.
Nor do I need a rich lawyer to give me a stump speech in order to inform me on the merits of any national issue.
I can get myself fully educated in domestic affairs and foreign policy over the internet and then put my finger on the computer key and cast my vote instantly.
If we do this nationally it will mean the end of; representative government; party politics; corporate lobbying; pork-barrel spending; congressional grid-lock; millionaire candidates.
In short: A vastly expensive, wasteful and antiquated election and voting system, which once served us reasonably well, is now clearly redundant and can go into history.
All those who say aye to this initiative, vote here.

The Obama Effect
Should Obama make president his affect will go far beyond that of the Arab world.
It will affect all of Africa and the two hunderd million living around the world who originated in Africa generations ago. That in turn will impact directly on the societies they are integrated into.
I believe that his affect will be a healing one in general. Not only will it help heal racial scars, it will also take away much of Osama's power to recruit suicide bombers. It will also help to change world opinion about what America really stands for. A more respectful world image will help Americans feel better about themselves and heal much of the internal divisions the war in Iraq has generated.
For these reasons and more one can only urge voters, especially men and women who might be equivocating about voting for him or Hillary Clinton, to put their mark under Obama's name. Though I will be glad if she makes President, her global effect will not be anywhere near as profound.

Mass Change of Consciousness
Can anybody say what single issue can affect a mass change of national direction?

Presidential Campaign
Yes We Can overthrow the status quo -- but then what?
Obama has the a gift of oration that is stirring enough to rouse an entire nation to action. Problem is that he is chanting the same old revolutionary mantra of sticking it to the man.
So too Hillary.
Going after the establishment may well rouse the rabble but never inspire the people for real change.
What both need is a clear vision of this nation's future capabilities once it stops using the dollar as an artificial barrier to the type of large scale global projects that can change everything.
What Obama and Clinton need right now to do is take a break from campaigning and go on a vision quest.

OSAMA & OBAMA - Twin Agents for Real Change
Obama would have no momentum if it were not for 9/11. Osama got the ball rolling and showed that might is never right by making a multi-trillion dollar military establishment look like a crippled Goliath. It has scared the shit out of the West.
Obama is still technically an agent of the establishment. He needs the Democratic Party apparatus to keep him on the ballot list. The main question is; are there enough pissed off voters to give him a personal mandate to forego politics as usual and throw that whole out-dated socio/economic system overboard and set us all on a new course of global cooperation into the 21st Century. Hopefully he has the broadness of mind to see the big picture.
I would take the trouble to enumerate all the necessary changes here and what general policy could replace them , if it were not for the fact that it takes a book to do that and i have already published such a global agenda in "Psyche-Genetics". With a bit of luck, maybe he will read it.

Divine Formula
Body and spirit; creation and evolution; circumstance and imagination are all intricately woven into a single fabric that is both particle and energy at one and the same time. One cannot exist without the other.
Divine formula:
1. God Creates Big Bang and initiates Evolution
2. Evolution creates human Circumstance.
3. Circumspection excites God.
Ergo: Evolution is the New Age Religion.

ADAM - Evolution Vs Creation
A Brief History of the Argument
Before Charles Darwin published, The Origins of the Species no scientific argument existed that could explain the unique nature of mankind’s position in Nature. Although Galileo and Newton had greatly under-mined many of the Holy Scripture’s sacred tenets on the origins of the Universe, and a subsequent lively revolution in scientific thought pervaded the intellectual atmosphere of succeeding centuries - the pivotal miracle of mankind’s origins, as explained in the Book of Genesis, remained organized religion’s ace in the hole.
The Old Testament’s claim in the Book of Genesis, of man’s special relationship with God kept the vast flocks of the faithful congregated inside the cathedrals singing hymns in praise of the Lord, with their heads bowed in reverence before the spiritual authority of their appointed ministers. Nobody dreamed or even wanted to dream that our ancestors could be apes.
Charles Darwin, with over-whelming evidence to support evolution was loath to publish his thesis and further undermine the established order. The ancient Belief in Divine appointment ensured that organized religion’s collection plates remained piled with gold and silver - while the irreverent scientists were relegated to secondary roles in their dingy under-funded laboratories.
Darwin sensed that the publication of The Origins of the Species would end almost two thousand years of religious guidance; alter the balance of power;transfer the flow of money away from the Church; and place the future direction of human behavior, as well as the fate of the planet we lived on, squarely in the hands of science.
In that revolutionary climate, with Marx’s recently published Communist Manifesto loudly proclaiming that religion was an opiate that numbed the minds of the masses of workers, keeping them bowed before their Lords and masters believing that the birth rite of royalty was by Divine appointment, Darwin knew that the evidence he had painstakingly collected in the tiny Galapagos islands would inevitably erase the last and most important tenet in religious doctrine and help remove the millions of worshippers from its pews. The ammunition stored inside his book provided the final proof the revolutionaries needed to end the religious domination of human thought.
The thought that he would be the man chosen to make the masses lose their special connection with God and King, held his hand. Unwilling to face that reality, Darwin wanted to delay publishing his findings until after his death. It was the zoological researches of Wallace, who had independently arrived at the same evolutionary conclusions that forced the publication of The Origins of the Specie. Over the past century and a half since publication, the disarray Darwin’s theory of evolution has created among all cultures that had based their faith on Old Testament scriptures has never abated.
There can be no question that the Theory of Evolution has been a watershed in mass psychology . Scientific insistence on empirical evidence has almost completely negated any and all subjective claims to a mystical relationship with God. The religious testimony of literally thousands of saints and martyrs are, at best, relegated onto a dusty backroom shelf, labelled: Self Delusion.
Scientific indoctrination in our school systems has focused the mass attention on the mechanics of a Universe that runs according to the laws of physics, with no God at the controls. There is no scientific appreciation of the impact that generations of analytical emphasis has had on the intuitive half of the human psyche, which strives to transcend the finite. As a result, the on-going evolution of our collective consciousness is now almost a hundred and eighty degrees in apposition to what it was formerly.
Before 1860 the power of the Church almost totally dictated the politics of government, economic development and human behavior in general. Any man, no matter his private thoughts, who did not religiously attended church service on Sunday, had no chance of ever being elected to any government office or find a seat on the board of any public company. Since then, decade by decade, as the masses have become educated in scientific method, that power has waned. Today the once vast cultural significance and authoritative theological arguments of Religion, which had reigned supreme for almost two millennia over the minds of men, can be challenged by any school-boy.
Though the biblical belief in Creation is now barred from the school classroom, influential sects of religious fundamentalists are still holding out. And like the festering thorn of the Zealots holding out against the might of Rome in the fortress of Masada, the legions of intellectual scientists today are obligated to clean them out.
The dissention between Creationists and Evolutionists creates significant educational, political and economic problems that seriously hamper the kind of healthy holistic development that could take place if the entire nation worked together with the kind of will that can only come if all of us were of the same mind and heart.
As it is, increasing millions of Christian parents have removed their children from government classrooms and are indoctrinating their kids into a separatist mind-set at home. If one factors in the cost of all the wars and persecutions over all the centuries that man has fought in order to instill a unity of modern thought, this rift, (one can almost say a holy war of words) right at the level of childhood education, of who man is and what our purpose on this planet is, is a disturbing trend. If it is allowed to grow wider it can only lead to serious future consequences. With exponential population pressures impacting on an already stressed-out global environment, we need to take steps forward into the 21st Century. We cannot afford steps backwards into the 19th.
For those parents who are truly concerned, it is obvious that we all need a unified understanding of the origins and evolution of human consciousness and try to put an end to the impact our seemingly endless family arguments are having on our home planet,
Nobody as yet can prove or disprove, in scientific terms, that God does or does not exist.
That is the only truly indisputable fact in this war of words. In the meantime, with the jury still out, It might save a lot of wasted emotional turmoil if, instead of trying to batter down the walls of Masada and heap the religious zealots with ridicule and invective, a more constructive tone is politely enforced at every public and private debate on the subject. At the very least it would give us a less contentious platform for engaging in the kind of serious thought that might bridge the rift.
This blog will try to address the 150 year old debate in more holistic terms than the way it has been conducted to date. The arument herin has already been raging on a phylosophical forum for several moths. Each day I will post secions of the arguement and its responses for anybody reading this to jump in and add their comments.
It comes without resorting to religious dogma or literal interpretations of the Bible.
It is purely and simply a debate between physicists and meta-physicists regarding the anomalies that divide the analytical and intuitive aspects of the human psyche. The intention is to try and find a reasonable formula that can unite matter with spirit.
The questions are basic:
Did consciousness precede creation?
Or the reverse.?
The answers are more complex.
No conclusive victory is claimed over either side. But it is hoped that all who read this blog come away from it a little better informed and a little more concerned about helping all of us to come to a degree of consensus that could make the world a better place for ourselves and the coming generations.
