me, AlbertHow can we all get along when no one wants to stop talking long enough to understand the other person? This country did not become so divided on its own. It took a combination of unprofessional journalists, immoral and unethical news organizations, and a select group of individuals with the money, agenda, and intellect to carry it out.

 It is so small a thing
To have enjoyed the sun
To have lived light in the spring
To have loved, to have thought,
   to have done?

by Matthew Arnold (1922 - 1888)

     For some of us it’s not easy to throw one’s self into all that one does. For many of us the fear of failure or a fundamental fear of doing someone wrong drives one to do nothing at all.

     What was that old saying:

It’s better to do something than to do nothing at all.

     Of course, when you take a good look at the U.S. Congress, considering the thousands of laws they make each year, you have to wonder if it might not be better if they did nothing at all.
me, Albert
     Do you realize that today you broke at least one law, maybe more? Bet you could rack your brain for an hour thinking about this and never come up with what law it was that you broke, and yet it’s pretty much assured that you did.

     When a system gets so over burdened with law that each of us unknowingly break laws we don’t even know exist, it’s time to rethink what we’re doing here.

     Yours, Albert

warning, special breaking news

Reports of UFO over North Wales

     DRINKERS at two village pubs spotted what they believe were mysterious UFOs.

     The bright orange circular objects were seen shooting across the sky above Caerwys on Wednesday evening by drinkers in the Royal Oak and Piccadilly Inn pubs.

     Read it now!

     The question here is simple: did these people see a UFO because they were drinking, or did they see them because they happen to be at the right place at the right time, in this case at the Piccadilly pub in Wales.

     I specially liked Sion Davies’ comment, “I am a sceptic but I cannot explain what was going on in the sky that night.”

     Sometimes you have to see something to believe something.

     I have never seen a UFO myself, but there are many who have. The lesson here is simple, me, Albertjust because we’ve never seen a UFO doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t exist. Just because I’ve never seen a molecule of oxygen doesn’t mean it’s not there keeping me alive.

     Let’s carry this lesson one step further. Just because we don’t have first hand knowledge of the new world order doesn’t mean it’s not there. Just because we don’t know who was “really” involved in the 9/11 event doesn’t mean that others who have gone on record are wrong in their allegations. Just because we were not there when Princess Diana died, and just because we’d never do such a thing, doesn’t mean that the Royal Family did not do what they were alleged to have done.

     Let’s be perfectly honest with ourselves, there have been good men come forward to warn society of other’s ill intentions. Of course you’d expect those of ill intent who have great wealth to protect their interests by doing whatever is necessary to prevent further damage to their agenda. The name John F. Kennedy comes to mind here.

     The next time you hear someone talk about a conspiracy, if they had access and you see a reaction to their comments via the media, at least listen to what they say and store it away in your head for another day. You’d be surprised how many of these people’s stories begin to mesh if you do that.

     So, are there really UFOs up there? If you ask Sion Davies, he’s not so sure of the answer anymore. Are you?

Some Fruits of Solitude

If one went to see Windsor-Castle, or Hampton-Court, it would be strange not to observe and remember the Situation, the Building, the Gardens, Fountains, etc., that make up the Beauty and Pleasure of such a Seat? And yet few People know themselves; No, not their own Bodies, the Houses of their Minds, the most curious Structure of the World; a living walking Tabernacle: Nor the World of which it was made, and out of which it is fed; which would be so much our Benefit, as well as our Pleasure, to know. We cannot doubt of this when we are told that the Invisible Things of God are brought to light by the Things that are seen; and consequently we read our Duty in them as often as we look upon them, to him that is the Great and Wise Author of them, if we look as we should do.

The World is certainly a great and stately Volume of natural Things; and may be not improperly styled the Hieroglyphicks of a better: But, alas! how vry few Leaves of it do we seriously turn over! This ought to be the Subject of the Education of our Youth, who, at Twenty, when they should be fit for Business, know little or nothing of it.

William Penn

For those who do not know the name, William Penn founded the state of Pennsylvania. His father was, in fact, a famous British admiral. Without a doubt this man knew himself inside and out, based on his writings. But this was the time in history, our recent history, when men were men and children were children.

take a closer look
So what are we of this modern age? Even in my short lifetime I have seen hard times and good times. Most people, including myself, know only the good times of recent years. How much they don’t know and should.
white graphic
But first, we must know ourselves. We must look objectively at who and what we are in order to understand why and how we are. God, the corner post of world understanding, is no longer in fashion, and so it’s easy to see why the youth of this age have largely grown up without him. And yet, it’s quite possible that the youth of this age may one day see the world about themselves objectively enough to understand that what they see could never “just happen”, as is advocated by atheists and taught by new world thinking scholars and school mums (and pa’s as well).

When I was a young child, it was not a stretch for me to believe in some power greater than I. When you consider the small space and huge thoughts that go on in me, albertour little brains, it should be obvious that the body is only a portal through which we observe and interact with this present world we’re now communicating and moving through. When you consider the depth of your thoughts and their breadth, it should be obvious to you that this small pea brain of ours is far too small to contain our total being.
white graphic
So where are we if not here, in the body?
white graphic
The total world in which we navigate in is far more complex and detailed than even our own scientists can imagine. If it were not so, they’d be out of a job tomorrow, looking for another line of work. It appears to me that we know so little of what is really “there” that any of us who attempts to speak with any authority should feel ashamed for the trying, as I, Albert, certainly do. But the one thing I do know is that the world in which I find myself is multi layered with many facets that I cannot begin to fathom.
white graphic
In our own right, each of us are scientists, exploring the world in which we reside. But unless we explore the world within–unless we find that small portal inside of ourselves that leads to a much larger place, we really know very little of the world we live in. How can any of us claim there is no God when we don’t even understand what we, ourselves, really are?
white graphic
The answer to this is within each of us. How much larger than your small brain are your own thoughts? Close your eyes, look deeply into the darkness of your mind until you find light. How much bigger are you in there than the space that appears to contain your thoughts?
white graphic
As I, Albert, see things, this body, this soul, this person is living proof that there must be a God, an intelligence, a plan, and a spark of effort at work throughout the greater universe. So often modern man relearns what those before him already knew and passed down generation after generation, and so it is in this instance as one day, and mark my words here, our very own scientists will declare they have found proof that there is a God. Some already have, while others are still groping for light in the darkness of their own minds.

Those things are dearest to us that have cost us most.

By Michel de Montaigne

Isn’t this the way we are as humans? Those things that are free are rarely cherished and appreciated while those things we pay the most for we value the most, even if it should be the other way around.

I, Albert, have come to the conclusion that in the end all we will have to cherish is our memories of our time on Earth. Every ache and every pain will be cherished simply because of the nature of the astral body, or whatever form that our Creator will choose for us to exist by.

Once we are deceased, we’ll cherish many of the things we now take for granted, like the sounds of song birds coming back after a long, cold winter. Like the beauty of a sunrise or sunset. Like the crying of a child in the dead of night. The cold chill from a winter wind as it blows and gathers steam across the lake.

What about the beauty of the sky, the white clouds that hang in the air like a balloon. Or the pain that comes from a divorce or a major breakup. Even the pain of death as we transition from the living to the dead.

It’s those things that are free that we ought to cherish the most. And yet, true to our nature, we often do the opposite.

Your’s, Albert
