and Excerpts
All
major political, economic, religious, and social
activities on planet Earth and the personal lives of
most people are dominated and controlled by The
Great God Money. T.G.G.M. is not
about relinquish his thrown, and he is prepared
to fight to defend
it. We have to trick him and we do that by
allowing him to think he's, while we, collective, pool
our resources, and buy the world out from under
him.

New Strategy for Saving the Virgin

No
matter how strongly we are convinced
that we know the truth, we still
could be wrong.

 The
vast majority of people use the unexamined,
personal and religious beliefs they learned as
little children to
justify ignoring reality,
and/or to allow, to justify,
and in some cases to
participate in the arrogant destruction of our Earthly
environment and the
killing of other people.

Here's
the path, the destination, and the concept of the Religion
and Reality Project all in one
sentence: Love
God, love your neighbor, and love yourself with
equal intensity because all three are one and the same thing.
If you respond and say, "I already know
that. That statement is the basis of every major
religion on the planet," we ask,
"Are you living it 24-7?"

Finding
God by
Faith and by
Reason is NOT
an either or choice. It's a
blending of faith with reason.
As
an alternative to arguing, fighting, and violating
others based
on unprovable beliefs about God, suppose we invite religion and
reality to be partners. Suppose we
also invite faith and reason to be
partners. Suppose we
invite
faith, reason, religion, and reality to be foursome
directed at finding the truth about what humans
believe about God.

The Truth is just about everywhere except in the words
of those who want you to live
under their dominance.
You can find all the basic concepts in every major
religion. You can find the the concept in
the works of hundreds of teachers and guides who teach spirituality
instead of religiosity,
and you can find the
truth in the Christian Bible.
.
.
There
are literally dozens of critically-important,
life-altering, and mostly-
ignored passages in the Christian Bible that when
examined will give you an eye-opening, self-empowering
perspective on Christianity that is presently being
ignored by the conservative
church leaders. John
14:12, Luke
17:21, Matthew
6:5-6, Genesis 2:7, and Ecclesiastes
3:19 are just four examples.
.
.
What
if we created spiritually oriented communities that
honor the mind's role in relating to God -- that bring reason,
logic, reality, common sense,
and the
physical evidence into one's spiritual life -- that
seek the truth no matter where that truth leads.

How
are you going to be about humanity's present crisis? Note the distinction
between doing and being. Doing, by itself,
accomplishes little or nothing. It's usually a form of
symptom-treating or futile gesturing. Doing, in the context of
being, produces phenomenal transformations. Who
are you? What are you? How do you choose to be
in your present Earthly circumstances? What will
that lead you to do?

Join
us in an adventure into consciousness:
Walk with us as we examine some of the more
common stories that people accepted as
true when they were a young children --
stories that millions of adults
still believe with
no proof to support their belief. You no longer believe in Santa Clause, the tooth
fairy, or the Easter bunny, but . . . Is
it possible that you
could still believe some other stories that no
longer serve you?
.

Eliminate
the Middlemen:
We'll also show you how to connect directly to the Infinite
Source of Life we call God and find guidance about your own life and your
own issues. This personal connection to
God is not new. It's
in the
Bible itself (Matt
6:5-6),
and Martin
Luther threw it into the
faces of church leaders way back in
1517.
.

You
might also note that studying this technique for finding God by faith and by reason
is like putting together a
huge jigsaw puzzle. One piece won't tell you much about the
total picture, but, as you keep putting the pieces together and adding
additional pieces to the puzzle, the overall picture becomes clearer and
clearer. Then at some unexpected point, the "ah
ha!" (the realization) strikes, and the whole
thing suddenly makes sense.
.
.
In an insane society a sane person would be
considered crazy. Any judgment of
someone else is simply a matter of
perspective. Because
everybody considers
their perspective to be normal, it's always the
other guy who is deviant and
strange.
The
Lunatic Fringe°

.
The
bottom line is that nobody is wrong.
Everybody is right, but only partially
right. The missing pieces commonly lead
people to draw erroneous conclusions. The inaccurate conclusion, in turn, often precipitate
some very dysfunctional behaviors.

Our
job is to wake people up -- to
kick butt -- to "shake the
tree" -- to "upset the apple
cart" -- to "spill the
beans" -- to demonstrate that
life is
not what we've been led to believe it is by those who
claim to know! If
we don't push any of your buttons, we haven't done our
job.
Religion
-- A Button Pusher's Paradise

This
pathway to "The Source of Creation,"
combines: head and heart -- faith and
reason -- emotion and the intellect --
past beliefs and present research data -- the
physical and the non-physical worlds -- what's known
and what can't be known. It looks at
the basic teachings in all the major religions on the
planet including the usually ignored Eastern
religions.
.
.
Life is filled with significance
and meaning, all of which is insignificant and meaningless.
.
In
a closed mind, the truth is no match for a good
fantasy.
In an open mind, even the grandest
fantasy is no match for the truth.
