BELIEVING
3/25/07

Believing is the highest moral and intellectual compliment anyone can give to himself or to someone else. I have believed in many things. Many of them false. I believed once that if I were smart enough and strong enough and wise enough I could accomplish anything. I believed that only by putting limitations on myself restrained me from achieving any goal I aspired to achieve.

As I grew older I realized there were definite obstacles to achieving many of the goals I had set out to conquer. One particular obstacle was ability. I did not know until I failed at many things that I did not have an ability in those areas. I believed in myself and in the promise of possibility, but I did not consider the relevance of time in overcoming certain mental and physical limitations. The desire to achieve knowledge and experience quickly was a serious obstacle to the achievement of my goals. It took many disappointments for me to understand; that it takes a great deal of time to transform a belief into a permanent reality.

I learned early in my life that if I needed advice and guidance in pursuing a personal goal , few people if any were able or willing to help. I realized as I grew older that no one ever lives up to their reputations. Belief was a public relations tool used masterfully by advertizing companies and academics, religions and celebrities to sell their products. They weren’t real. It was simply window dressing, decorations on a Christmas Tree or makeup on an ugly woman or slick advertizing on a mediocre product. If they get someone to believe in something when they are young by saturating the media with the message, then they have a customer or fan forever. This is most apparent in the American Auto Industry. There are still millions of Americans and people around the world who believe, that a Cadillac is a symbol of financial success, or that Campbell soups, loaded with salt and artificial ingredients, are “hearty and healthy” foods.

God said to someone once, ” Don’t place your trust in anything but me”. Some slick advertizing agency gave that idea to the Federal Reserve and they put it on their notes. Most of the people in the world, except for those who understand the U.S monetary system, think that a Federal Reserve Note is really a dollar bill. A federal reserve note is merely a piece of paper backed by the U.S Treasury. Few people are aware even though it is written on the note itself that it is only a promissory note to the Federal Reserve from the U.S government for which we the taxpayers must pay interest on at varying amounts of interest set by the Federal Reserve. No one except the bankers understand that our currency is not ours. Few people even know that the IRS is not a government agency. It is a collection agency for the Federal Reserve. Few people realize that the “Federal” Reserve is a private corporation comprised of 8 different banks; that have no constitutional or legal connection to the Federal Government other than as a private lender. Few people realize that the EYE on the top of the pyramid on a “Federal Reserve” note is not the EYE of God, but a pagan symbol of the Illuminati. The Illuminati is a global conspiratorial entity comprised of international bankers and wealthy families, that rule the planet.

“Oh believist as thou will.” We all have a free will. We can all believe in whatever we want to believe in, but few of us ever look into what we are so quick to believe. Few of us ever question what we are told to believe. We simply believe. It is easy, it is fun, it is foolish, it is childish. How many of us know never to trust any politician, yet every election period millions vote for someone else who is deceiving them. How many people still believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny and force their children to believe in them? How many parents and teachers and priests and presidents, deceive themselves and all who listen to them with these myths; that they perpetuate to sell candy and consumer goods, raise donations, steal our country’s prosperity and security , steal our national soul and sanity?

Everyone can believe as they want to, but they must beware of what they believe in. It is easier to believe what others want us to believe, rather than to trust our own intuition. No one but ourselves can force us to believe in anything. I now only believe in myself and what myself convinces me is true. I do not believe what anyone else tells me on face value. I can not. I will not. I can only believe what I sense is true, and only after I have questioned its validity. I have too often been deceived by the sounds of Santa’s sleigh bells and bag of “made in a sweatshop in China” gifts. I have too often been disappointed by the Christian promise of Easter disguised in a pink or blue Easter Bunny costume. I have too often been disgusted by the treason and corruption of so many, who claim to be trustworthy leaders and institutions. The truth is often what we first feel, that those we place our trust in are most often complete frauds. Believing in our sober selves and listening to our intuition are our only guides to truth , and truth is the only guide to God.
