Simple Reminders

I am probably best known for writing little quips and epigrams that have been picked-up over the years and published in thousands of other books, newspapers, magazines, blogs and articles around the world. I began publishing my writings in the 80's on bulletin boards and a small poetry and epigrams newsletter/collection in Hawaii, and then the internet in the early 90's. Over the years my writings began to show-up in other people's work more and more. I once published a lot of essays and poetry on the internet and then, on myspace.com. After a front-page cover story about me in the Wall Street Journal featuring my Myspace page, my little writings seemed to explode on the scene appearing everywhere. A lot of the original source essays that many of my now published quips first appeared in are no longer public, because I am no longer happy with the quality of those materials, but I did save the more popular quotes from those essays. My writings continue to show up in new places every day, and even if I am known as a writer of small quips and thoughts, I am very happy people seem to be interested in some of my ideas.

Citing: Interestingly, sometimes other than my blog or myspace, someone else's book, mag or newspaper becomes the original (first published in) source to cite. This is especially true if I publish an essay, and people quote it and then I decide I no longer like my essay and I take it down, but salvage the best lines. I seem to do this a lot. To make matters more complicated I also sometimes re-use my favorite lines in multiple subsequent published works, and take my favorite lines from my non-related writings and add them to this master collection. Most of my essay and book ideas start as a one-liner idea in my Simple Reminders collection, and I expand it from there when I am inspired. So, if you cannot find a source essay, poem or book for one of my quips, you can resort to citing my catchall, ever-growing collection: Simple Reminders, 1st-8th Edition/Rev, Feb 1987/2013, ISBN 978-1481953702

• Nationalism is form of collective narcissism, where the citizens possess an inflated self-love of "their own people," to the exclusion of other human beings.
• Nationalism is a form of cultural self-centeredness, and as a collective thought-form, can only exist because the dominant in-group is itself comprised of self-centered and narcissistic individuals.

• We must throw out the old, fear-based thought-forms and evolve, and begin to live as higher beings of compassion.
• All discomfort comes from suppressing your true identity.
• Our minds have been poisoned and our accepted beliefs are unnatural and artificial.
• Every person's true identity is beautiful, and much of the ugliness we observe in others was put inside of them by external influences.
• We all know the true nature of the human soul, because we have all looked into the eyes of children, and saw ourselves looking back.
• When someone is suffering, there is a deep, visceral reaction in the core of our being, a flood of empathy and a frightfully desperate compulsion to give aid.

• Rather than trying to master nature we should start with the basics of trying to understand nature, cooperate with nature.
• A great deal of struggle and sorrow in the world comes from misguided feelings of pride of ownership and possessiveness, versus the humble spirit of stewardship as common temporary inheritors of the great resources of earth.

• Let the change begin with your choices this very moment.
• You are creating through your choices, even now. Choose wisely.
• Throughout the ages, society has emotionally castrated the male, in order to condition his consciousness to become capable of unnatural acts of violence and war.
• The war consciousness is purposely cultivated to guide the male away from the natural, healthy balances between masculine and feminine energies, and toward more unbalanced and detached psychologies.
• Detachment from compassion in the male is produced in him, so he can do the dirty work for society and its so-called national interest, in the form of social competition, militarism and predation.
• Mothers should be very careful what type of boys and men they create, or allow to be created.
• The artificial man, which is being created, is indeed a monster, and carries within him the dark and unnatural male war consciousness.
• The war consciousness is a living meme; a parasitic blight on the soul of human consciousness.
• The war consciousness is alien and suffocating to the untainted spirit-nature of women and children; its unique cruelty is the vile domain of male dominance, and represents the lowest part of the male energy.
• The woman must be restored to her rightful place, as the strong, loving maternal leader of peace and reason.
• Assaults against women and children are assaults against any potential positive future for the world.
• We are all a part of a culture of violence that dominates every aspect of our lives.
• Present-day society is saturated in the degeneracy of subjugation, which prevents women from fully participating in society as social equals.
• It is the socially determined norms and traditions of gender roles, which must be challenged, and challenged with vigor. In nearly all countries, including America, the truth is that women have a low social status, and are considered inferior.
• It is the totality of the woman's crippled status that quietly gives a nod of approval to further acts of injustice and domination.
• Economic inequalities are part of the same habits of thought that underlie the true and overt brutalities committed against women all over the world.

• Women are controlled by men like a currency of the world.
• We all instinctively know that for many men, the world revolves around money and women, and the conquest of both.
• Often, men want money to get women, or to use women to get money, or both at the same time.
• Women, their looks, traits and sexuality are reduced to caricatures of value for appraisal, show, trade and consumption.
• Think of a new girlfriend is trotted out in front of friends and family like a cattle auction, to the winks and nods of passive commodity brokers, who all have a stake in this female slave auction.
• As a part of their conditioning, women voluntarily prostitute themselves into the auction and groom themselves toward the highest exchange.
• Through the process of objectification, women have been reduced to dollar bills, tucked away in a man's billfold, and spent at his will.
• We must embrace new frameworks of understanding that reject the angry, domineering, sex-driven male as an acceptable model.
• Women do not need a knight in shining armor or a Prince Charming to come to their rescue.
• Love is the perfect safety, or the perfect weapon.
• Women receive messages from childhood that they may be rewarded and protected for maintaining a childlike comportment such as being demure, obedient, passive and subservient.
• We can only save ourselves through elevating our individual consciousness, by realizing there is already completeness within, and exercising as much considerate independence, respect and fairness as is possible.
• The natural and untainted male mind respects and loves the woman and her magnificent scope of capability and creative gifts.
• The natural woman really represents the antidote to the great afflictions that haunt the world.
• The bondage upon humanity's great aspirations is largely held in place by the state of the woman in the world.
• We must imbue our children with principles of the higher-self, principles which see all people as true equals, and above all, which are sensitive to the delicate and fragile balance of life.
• Modern society, the political body, the legal and judiciary system, the state of governance, capitalism and the very fabric of the society itself, including our religions and so-called morals and values, are institutions steeped in traditions of absolute and total violence.
• Like in the animal kingdom, where every creature has its defenses and weapons, humans also possess powerful instruments for camouflage, defense and attack.
• Since the human mind is the primary weapon of the human being, it is also therefore the primary and most significant instrument of violence.
• People use words to do battle and to hurt one another terribly, tragically and even mortally.
• Pitted against the soul of every flesh and blood human are endless institutions, all enabled, organized and operating on the exacting and absolute definitive and deadly word.
• What happens in nature is no justification for our behavior, because we are animals of consciousness with the ability of moral choice.
• The total objective of the violent system is to take a free human being, and convert that human being's speculative gross lifetime output into controllable revenue.
• The path of the common citizen is voluntary serfdom as a speculative commodity.
• The current social contract we have accepted represents a supreme form of usury, because we use everything and everyone in the process.
• If children's tears could be made into diamonds, corporate thugs would indenture children and force them to cry.
• The endless victims of the system exist in a perpetual tsunami of violence in the form of this economic enslavement.
• The violence inherent in the institutions, corporations and governments is without competition.
• Little attention is given to truly dangerous and powerful political and corporate thugs who loot, vandalize and burn communities to the ground every day, with the mighty stroke of a pen.
• The boardroom is the ultimate war-room, where history's most destructive acts of violence and aggression against human dignity, safety and justice have been strategically orchestrated.
• Acts of economic war and violence in the deepest sense are commonly perpetrated against people with a "gentleman's" handshake and a smile.
• Corporate villains hide behind a mask of legitimacy by wearing the official uniform of competitive business, the euro war-dress called a suit.
• Executive savages who eat human resource energy and soul-joy, by feeding on life-force in these ways, are discomfortingly similar to cannibals.

• Mind prisons have been built on every corner of the very fabric of the society of mind.
• You must bow on your knees at all times before the ruling-class norms to show you are submissive.
• The penalty for not playing along is you will be socially-jailed from moving up the ladder.
• As beings who have been raised, educated and trained in violence, we are violence.
• We also self-inflict violence, because violence is our only way of relating to the world, to others and to ourselves.
• The mind is the first level of the control prison, where your own thoughts are like a jailer, guard or a violent captor, which through time you have come to know and protect in a perverse paradox of self-imposed Stockholm syndrome.
• The system wears a mask of civility, yet will quickly reveal its true nature in the form of raw, unadulterated and magnificently-purposed force of violence when needed to suppress any threat to its true grip of absolute control.
• People who do not test boundaries unknowingly live under the constant threat of violence as suppressed beings.
• We live at all times, with the barrel of a gun pointing at us.
• The machinery of government and its war apparatus acts as a double-edged blade, with one side sharpened for outer enemies and the other honed for inner enemies.

• We must look intimidation in the eye, and stand defiantly against what we know is not just.
• Nothing is more beautiful than freedom, and nothing more grotesque than its molestation.

• There is nothing more powerful and nothing more dangerously beautiful than a free mind.
• The real battlefield is the realm of ideas.
• The real violence is committed in the writing of history, the records of the legal system, the reporting of news, through the manipulation of social contracts, and the control of information.
• We are all a part of a food chain of violence which will never end until we reassess what is truly profitable to a society.
• The war for freedom is an information war fought with words, misdirections, distractions and omissions.
• People are basically good, and when they are in possession of the full truth, they usually do the right things.
• Information is controlled because the free flow of truth is not always expedient for those wishing to maintain control.
• Begin to see the violence around you; begin to see the violence within you.
• Turn towards love, and become love.
• Let us only consider a true profit to be that which is for the greater good of all.
• The homogenization of our consumer culture underscores a profound laziness and a sad lack of creativity and style.
• From coast-to-coast, any-town USA looks like the same sprawling strip mall, from sea to shining sea.
• The machinery of mass-corporatization loves the lazy, closed-minded tendencies of ignorant consumers, who have underdeveloped palates for quality craftsmanship.
• Craftsmanship exists in everything, from goods and services to vegetables, governments and even personal relationships.
• It seems we often timidly seek predictability and ease over adventure and effort.
• Life is a constant consumption of our environment through our senses.
• As creatures with a body, we should all be especially concerned about the quality of air, water and food we allow into our bodily vehicle.
• As an organism there is nothing more relevant or sacred than what you put into your body.
• Food is a part of our contract with life.

• We seem to love to dissect, organize and compartmentalize, and to exert unnatural order and control over what we perceive as wild, unpredictable and therefore dangerous.
• The industrial revolution assembly lines gave birth to the sweatshops and indentured child slavery; as they say, you may know a tree by its fruits.
• The sweltering white-head of the capitalist greed-boil can be seen oozing out brands like Monsanto, McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Pfizer, Walmart and the flag-waving USA mega-brand "War on Terror."
• There is a real war, but it is between authoritarian, fear-based, profit-seeking uniformity, and freely democratic, anarchic, organic diversity; a battle between unnatural deceit and natural truths.
• Monocultural forces want you to forget your childhood dreams, grow up, look the same, act the same and be the same, and this is why monocultures are bigoted and intolerant of those who are different.
• Monoculture hates diversity of all types, especially diversity of opinion, and is therefore the enemy of free speech and expression.
• Monoculture wants you to forget that the joy of life is in the community of the village, where you can touch, taste, smell, feel and experience a motley potpourri of cultural vicissitudes.
• The zombie brand-drones of monoculture live in the grey prison cells of homogeneity, dearth of the vibrancy of choice - standing in a cultural bread-line, just to stay alive. Environmentalism is about life itself, because the environment is the space where all life happens.
• Control is not humble; control is arrogant.
• We must heal the Earth with sustainable, biodynamic, organic farming, and reject the unnatural, monoculture plant concentration camps of the industrial era of force and control.
• All monoculture is inherently vulnerable; from plants in gardens to people in urban centers.
• Social mind-diseases arise out of crowding people into limited choice-spaces of artificially homogenized environments.
• People crowded onto corporate and social conveyer belts, like animals in the slaughter shoots of factory-farms, are all part of the same big massacre of natural joy.
• The danger of freedom is real, but enforced safety reeks of a much more odious danger.
• Real life does not come with a safety net interwoven from the entangling threads of government and corporations.
• The real safety net of life is community, family and nature.
• Wake-up! Think for yourself, be yourself and return to what is real.
• Free your mind and free yourself from brand slavery.
• The monocultural corrals-of-thought are forms of enforcement which create class-stratification through brand self-identification.
• Television and media act as corporate slogan madrasas that indoctrinate and collate future product disciples into obedient purchasing-classes.
• There is nothing higher-class than real craftsmanship, diversity, originality and the service of skilled human hands.
• A craftsperson's hands create authenticity and truth, honesty containing blemishes and imperfections.
• Artisan variation is beautiful to the unique eye of the beholder.
• Franchises and machines create identical uniformity, for equally indistinguishable buyers.
• Real life is imperfect and shows differences and variety, characteristics which are not favored in monocultures.
• The coveted perfect life is a created standard, which is purposely unattainable.
• The deceptive, glossy media images of faces, bodies and social lifestyles, make us hate ourselves so we will buy a solution to love ourselves once again.
• The conditioning advertisements make us ashamed of our blemishes, imperfections and flaws, but these so-called flaws are really our strengths and gifts.
• Images, idols and fixations on conformity and unattainable perfection make us illusion-prisoners.
• The very brands that promise us relief and personal freedom deliver the opposite of freedom; instead turning us into material junkies.
• Beautiful food and health are priceless.
• We eat from a chemical cauldron of witch-KRAFT, or any non-food in a box with pretty, lying images on the package.
• There is no happiness outside of ourselves.
• Real value come from nature and human resources, both of which we already possess.
• The folly of endless consumerism sends us on a wild goose-chase for happiness through materialism.
• Modern capitalist consumer-life commoditizes people and "educates" them to become human products.
• A culture that raises and grooms people to be human resource products in a marketplace cultivates non-individuals who experience life through materialism.
• With rare exceptions, the people who work in corporations, like those working on assembly-lines, are not producers-they are products.
• In consumer life we become what we consume-disposable junk to be used and thrown away.
• When we buy junk, we become junk.
• A disposable society is only fit for disposable people.
• The loss of craftsmanship has turned America into a sweeping, franchised wasteland of disposable goods.
• We make junk, we consume junk and we are junk.
• Planned obsolesce has fostered cities that look like above-ground landfills.
• In the franchised pseudo-communities the stakeholders of local enterprise have been replaced with centralized corporate shareholders.
• Local stakeholders who care about their own community are the supreme antidote to corporate poisoning of the community by brands and franchises promising cheap, consistent and affordable goods.
• Cheap food and cheap goods are dangerous illusions which do not exist.
• The propaganda spearpoint of corporate conquest is often the promise of convenient, consistent and cheap goods and services.
• Cheap products destroy the communities where they are built from a social justice, labor, resource and environmental accounting, and then go on to destroy the communities where they are sold.
• Selling junk is like passing on a disease, where the seller is the original disease carrier, and every hand that touches the product is infected.
• Irresponsible corporations who create and sell disposable goods destroy communities and people's lives.
• Companies who sell cheap disposable goods cannot have a relationship, which is not abusive, with their customers, employees or a community.
• It is absurdly impossible to have good customer service while destroying the economy and community where that customer lives.
• In the context of cold-blooded capitalism, a customer is a disposable commodity just like the products to be sold, which should be used-up and then replaced.
• The recent generation of children can almost be said to have been born into Walmart.
• Being a creator puts people back in touch with their power and purpose, causing them to no longer seek their identity and purpose externally through materialism.
• As long as people are products, they will be obsessed with products.
• When people become empowered creators, or producers, they begin to think about the internal gifts they have to share with others.
• Creative producers understand value as something internal to give, whereas human products and consumers understand value as something external to get.
• Consumer life and present-day corporatism is a form of passive violence because it denatures people and turns them into disposable produce.
• We reclaim our power, communities and families by becoming creative producers.
• To end materialism, you don't merely reject materialism, you reject the contract of existing as a corporate slave and as a disposable human product.
• Materialism is an identity crisis.
• When we do not know our true identity as powerful creators, we are susceptible to being used and manipulated.
• We believe we are the consumers, but we are the consumed.
• Inside each of us there is a marvelous compass which greatly favors life, freedom and vitality.
• Consumer asceticism leads to a monoculture of deprivation, which is the opposite of diversity and openness.
• You can best change the system by engaging the system to explore its strengths and weaknesses.
• Become fallible and human again by living dangerously and stepping off of the assembly lines of unnatural life before it is too late.
• The closer we can get every citizen to the blood, death and suffering of real people, through zero censorship in media, the better off we will all be.
• The need for a military must be viewed as an ugly burden on any society, and all sane people must wish there was no need for a military or the instruments of war.
• As a member of the military, if you cannot ardently proclaim that you wish the military did not exist, and do not deeply desire that there was no need for any military, then you cannot be a good soldier or a good and sane person.
• Any sycophant of the military has been seduced by the spirit of death, the destroyer spirit and the war consciousness, and must reassess their moral positions.
• To love and proudly exalt the military is a form of madness, for the work of the military is a grim, dark burden which none should find gratifying joy in undertaking.
• War and militarism without a planned desire for their eventual elimination on earth, is war for the sake of war, and represents the repugnant war consciousness.
• The war consciousness as a living meme seeks only to selfishly propagate its own survival as an organism of destruction and malevolence.
• Any sliver of morality within the institutions of war reside in the imperative hope by the organizations themselves that they must one day be superannuated by cultural advancement.
• Our allegiance to morality should always advocate on behalf of peace, and serve a vision of a future in which the institutions of war are obsolete.
• Western corporate media is just that-corporate. Its independence ends at the fist that holds the dollar.
• America is a nation of illusions: illusions in the media, schools and government, where the Iron Curtain of propaganda holds its citizens in a state of darkness and ignorant apathy.
• Humanity needs heroic leadership from those who see all life as precious.
• Humanity needs leadership from a loving-strength possessed by individuals who see the broader commonality between all people.
• There is a base impulse in humans, which when kindled and set free, will even burn-up the hand that set the spark.
• Morality is a leadership quality which cannot be mechanized, mass-produced and marshaled at will by any institution.
• By disobeying immoral orders, that individual preserves the institution's highest rank - dignity.
• To risk one's life for the sake of others is heroic, but to risk one's life in the support of maleficence is villainy.
• Military recruiters sit like vultures preying upon the poor, oppressed and marginalized.
• Military personnel represent a special class of super-victims. We cannot blame the military for being what it is, because the military of any country is a reflection of the country itself.
• A government, no matter how corrupt, unscrupulous or manipulative is a reflection of its people.
• What we presently see before us in society is a perfect reflection of who we are, both good and bad.
• Most people do not actually know how to think for themselves, and unfortunately that prevents them from even knowing it.
• You are not really free, and that is why you do not know what I am talking about.
• One of the most important things you can do in life is to brutally question every single thing you are taught.
• The ultimate question of who we are is set before us at all times and answered with every action.
• In the future, all military needs to be voluntarily dissolved and disbanded by all nations.
• The sum of an organized military is greater than the parts, and as a whole, any military should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction.
• In a highly evolved future society, to the pride of its people, no military will exist.
• The most powerful WMD is a willful mind of defiance.
• Hold the dream of a world with no military passionately in your heart, and if you will not, or cannot, then the destroyer spirit has possessed you, and YOU are an important part of the great miseries of the world.
• It is a high spiritual truth that we create with our judgements.
• When fighting any great enemy; we must endeavor to not become the madness we seek to heal.
• The solution to nearly every problem in the world comes down to greater awareness, compassion, and empathy.
• The lone, ordinary person, existing incognito within the system has tremendous power in a revolution.
• The silent heroic traitor is always the master source of new eras of progress.
• The prisons are full of society's "quick fixes"; they are brimming with our failures as a community of responsibility.
• It is in the prisons that we hide away our shame and thoughtless creations as a society.
• Progress and healing involves seeing every person as not so different from ourselves.
• Place your allegiance and respect in what is everlasting and real, not in the transitory and false.
• There is no hurtful or violent spirit in true revolution, for if that dark spirit is present, then it is not true revolution, but is even a step backwards.
• True revolution advances consciousness.
• Revolution that does not advance us toward higher consciousness and compassion is devolution.
• Revolution is simple. It is like breathing-out with the old, and in with the new.
• The nature of oppression can be very tame, and often goes by the false name of civility.
• It is with a cold and inhumane civility that many great crimes are carried out against the warm hearts of good people.
• Inside of every good person there is also something very wild.
• Freedom is wild, and to be free we must at times live dangerously and wildly.
• Give no earthly master permission to subdue your unique truth.
• There is a deeply obscured level beyond citizen - it is the domain that gave birth to the space for the constructs of citizen and country to exist.
• We have no obligation whatsoever to uphold any institution, country or idea that does not serve as a humble refuge for all of humanities tender frailties.
• Let us revolt against the nightmare, and work together for a kinder world.
• It is not necessary to dignify tyranny with anger, which merely validates its false power.
• The ultimate defiance is to simply and gently be your own truth.
• Lay down your worldly attachments and merely exist in total cooperation with your own unique inner truth.
• A person who wants nothing fears nothing.
• Creativity is the greatest expression of liberty.
• Understand your power. Live dangerously. Live truthfully. Live freely. Live fearlessly. Cower before no earthly master.
• Once you realize what you really are, you cannot be stopped.
• The nightmare spirit of control has always been, and is, profoundly stupid.
• Historically we can see that any attempt to control has always fueled the heart of revolution.
• We are in power because we control the resources, because we are the resources.
• People are the final answer to the real call for freedom.
• You will never be a better citizen than when you are dreaming, creating, challenging, discussing, protesting and adding your voice to the great, considerate and humble discussion, presently called-democracy.
• We have a responsibility to disobey and violate unjust rules and laws.
• Civil disobedience is a wonderful tool that has shown itself to be one of the most effective and powerful vehicles to speedy social evolution.
• Non-violent, but absolutely defiant non-cooperation through acts of public civil disobedience are powerful and nearly uncontrollable tools of social reform.
• If one cannot speak their truth, and be their own truth, then what is life beyond an unbearable lie?
• Peace adores above everything free discussion and expression without intimidation.
• How can we be free to express ourselves, if others are not free to do the same?
• The master key of real personal truth is that others should be able to live by their truth.
• It is one of our primary duties to speak up and protest against those who would force or trick us to live by their lies.
• Protesting is never a disturbance of the peace. Corruption, injustice, war and intimidation are disturbances of the peace; protesting is merely a response to those disturbances.
• Life moves forward, not backward, and it would be wise to listen to what change has to say.
• Change may knock lightly on the door of antiquated thinking at first, but when old mindsets bolt the door, change may rip it from the frame.
• Change, like time, will wait until the graveyards are full of old ideas.
• Change can be beautiful, when we are brave enough to evolve with it, and change can be brutal, when we fearfully resist.
• An important part of revolution is thinking for oneself and diversifying sources of information and education.
• Defiance and creativity go hand-in-hand.
• Much of education today focuses on obedience skills rather than critical thinking skills.
• If you teach a child true critical thinking skills, you potentially create a problem for the system, because the system is profoundly nonsensical, and the child is likely to challenge or reject the system.
• Young adult students possessing true critical thinking skills are unmanageable, and therefore undesirable to many schools.
• There can be no revolution without an overthrow of the institutions of education.
• Social monocultures suppress the wild growth that is possible in the untamed forest of innovation without limits.
• We should guide education away from its commercial, corporate, consumerist orientation, and toward a goal of helping individuals attain inner maturity, balance and a deeply rewarding sense of fulfillment.
• Real education is about revolution.
• The word celebrity comes from our celebration of those who conquer fear and dare to be different.
• Originality is coveted by society, yet it is also subject to society's judgment, fear and impulse to identify and pick-at things that are different.
• Real education must be about discovering the unknown, and whenever education becomes a system of conformity it is no longer useful.
• Rebellious and adventurous souls have a way of leading us off the edge of the map, where the dragons are, to confront those dark beasts of our fear and ignorance.
• The spirit of discovery cannot be cultivated on an assembly line of desks in classrooms.
• We must question the seats of authority, especially in education, and seek to understand what "valid" is and where authority originates.
• Much of the educational system is a broken relic, a symbol of shortsightedness and corporate greed.
• Knowledge truly is power. Real knowledge and truth cannot be invalidated. Knowledge changes things, even if that knowledge does not have a seal of approval from the power structures.
• Real education is valuable, no matter where it comes from: an ivy league school, a public library or your grandmother.
• Young people do not need a "traditional" education, they are the education.
• The young will teach the old the new ways, and old will adapt or perish.
• The crumbling establishment needs fertile young minds more than young people need the establishment.
• When you ask "why," and defy the system, and poke at what seems broken, you become the revolution by spurring the transformation from what is - into what will be.
• Real education creates revolutionaries rather than suppressing them.
• At the very heart of every revolution is the free flow of information.
• Lifelong learning is like a never ending personal revolution.
• When knowledge becomes a profit center, guards and bars must be placed around the vault of wisdom, and educators and administrators become knowledge profiteers in the war against ignorance.
• True education seeks to set its students free, not to hold them captive to antiquated standards, or to ensnare them in debt.
• Anyone who resists revolution or pooh-poohs an emerging revolution is grossly ignorant of the fact that life without evolution is extinction.
• The supreme lesson of any education should be to think for yourself and to be yourself; absent this attainment, education creates dangerous, stupefying conformity.
• We create in people through our actions and example. In this way people around us become reflections of our own behavioral patterns and internal energies.
• When teaching someone a boundary, they learn less from the enforcement of the boundary, and more from the way the boundary is established.
• Your message means less than the way the message is delivered, because in actuality, the way the message is delivered, IS the message.
• Like all cowards, brutes in any number flee when their spell of fear has no effect.
• You do not have to do anything to defend yourself in life; just BE beautiful, and life will defend you.
• Freedom of expression and freedom of peaceable assembly must remain sacrosanct.
• It is hardly possible to conceive of any act more disturbing than the intimidation of another free person.
• The most cunning enemy comes at your energy, image or name, but the base and ignorant brute, the foul pig of a despot launches his whole selfish being- mind and body upon you, to suffocate your freedom.
• Strangled in the clutch of brute intimidation, we are all made victims; first by the foul deed, and second by those good souls who do nothing to oppose it.
• Let people speak. Let people disagree. Communicate. Listen. Have high-respect, if not for your opponent, then for your own comportment and conduct as a good listener.
• As an organism, your inner-intelligence knows how to keep you safe.
• The master of any craft is first a master of self, cooperating with innate intelligence within.
• Surrender is the path to freedom through our unique authenticity, where we experience the flow of life not through the narrow lens of the mind, but through the vast refuge of the heart.
• It is the self-revolution of greater individual consciousness that is the absolute path to humanity's next great step forward.
• No time is better spent than that spent in the service of your fellow man.
• We are here to spend ourselves on others; for each person is a great treasure.
• We love most those who we serve most.
• One person really can make a difference. Each person is the revolution.
• In a relationship, when trust is lost, everything is lost.
• While much of the technology we are senselessly addicted to promises us greater connectedness, people are more isolated, disconnected and lonely, than ever before in history.
• True community has been nearly eviscerated, and a tactile-less mockery of community has been put in its place.
• Houses and apartments have become cubical prison-tombs, where millions of screen-irradiated mummies hide from the sunlight, nature, and genuine social interaction.
• Modern consumer life is like a mass dissociative disorder which prevents people from experiencing essential truth, real-life community, universal rites of passage and even an acceptable and reasonable death.
• Consumer life is essentially a social psychology framework, which seeks to keep your consciousness plugged into their headend of ideals and created needs, for profit.
• Courtesy is a silver lining around the dark clouds of civilization; it is the best part of refinement and, in many ways, an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery of man's cruelty and baseness.
• Good manners are appreciated as much as bad manners are abhorred.
• A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.
• We should speak to protect the ideals of goodness, and act to make them real in the world. The first proves a consummate mind, the second a valorous heart.
• Declaring our intentions for a safer and kinder world is the obvious first step toward attaining those goals.
• Every journey begins with the first step of articulating the intention, and then becoming the intention.
• Let us subdue the ravages of the baser-self, and aspire to the higher calling of exalting joy through compassion, for that is the one true purpose of humanity.
• You cannot change another person's mind or educate them; this they must do themselves.
• When we oppose oppression, we lift our hands from the collective reins that empower such oppressions.
• Through our intentions, a place no power can influence, we have the power to oppose.
• The terrible atrocities in the world require more from each of us than a regret-filled acknowledgment they exist; they require our most earnest intentions be focused on their immediate eradication.
• Some humans have, in fact, been reduced to nothing more than mere vessels of pain.
• An incubus of ignorance, fear, hunger, oppression and intolerance haunts large regions of the world, and we must have no delusions that we are immune.
• We must refuse to forget that we too are human, that we too are frail, that we all are subject to such miseries, and in time, we shall all be subject to frailty and suffering.
• Let us now yearn for the possibility of building a happiness in every heart. Let us now build inward a new world of hope, a world of limitless possibilities for the children of tomorrow, where each soul can reach the heights of their potential to love and to be loved.
• The very "least" among us has the enormous power to effect change through small acts of determination and will.
• Each person carries within their core the birthright of creative freedom, which, when organized and orchestrated, is the most awesome force on earth.
• The most powerful tools of revolution through intention are humility and consciousness.
• Humility and full consciousness are inseparable.
• The authentic human has the might of compassion and the creative power to do any manner of good.
• Cynicism is one of the terrible obstacles to progress.
• Lay down your cynicism, and believe in the transformational power of love.
• Dare to believe that good things are possible when you follow your heart.
• Your personal declaration of will is the first step in a seemingly impossible journey.
• Slaves are created with words, and so it is with words that we create, and set ourselves free.
• All souls seeking asylum find WITHIN the unimpeded path to your own freedom and destiny.The human theater of conflict is a battle for hearts and minds through the world of symbols, words and ideas.
• The rulers of the paper cities need your intention and your permission to exist.
• Countries, states, cities, corporations and laws are all words on paper.
• When the paper cities have become unjust prisons, we must revolt, and burn those paper cities to the ground.
• Unleash your mighty words, and with them, recreate a new and more beautiful world for all.
• We must each achieve greater individual consciousness and self-knowledge, and project mindful kindness toward everything and everyone.
• Cultivate clarity, strength, vitality and power from natural, beautiful and organic living foods.

• We must strive for literacy and education that teach us to never quit questioning and probing at the assumptions of the day.
• We must question every inner-belief we possess without fear or attachment.

• Criticism is no threat to your self-esteem or identity, but rather informs you.
• We must rebuild organic communities, where people can come together and have analogue conversations and share stories, art, music and emotions.
• We must understand that out of community and dialogue, the answers will arrive in their own time and way.
• We must relentlessly and unyieldingly protect freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.

• We must reject the artificial and embrace what is real and true: truth in food, community, relationships and self.
• We must step out of our digital avatars, and come together and have face-to-face dialogue as often as possible.
• We must remember that we cannot change others, we can only change ourselves.
• We must let our every act be out of love, and for the greater good of all.
• We must be our own authentically unique truth, and question who we are, what created us, and what processes within us are alien and externally created.
• We must share! Sharing IS caring. Share everything: every idea, every resource, every story, every gift, every worry and every burden. Share yourself.

• There is truth and knowledge beyond present understanding.
• An environment of infinite economic expansion is unsustainable in a world of finite resources.
• Most worldly goals for so-called success are soul traps similar to quicksand.
• The trappings of success bring the opposite of success in the ways most meaningful to people's lives.
• Beware! Success is not what you think it is. It's a trap.
• Proceed toward "success" with extreme caution.
• Source truth exists in greater abundance outside of the symbolic system of words.

• Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.
• Courteousness is consideration for others; politeness is the method used to deliver such considerations.

• Do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way of small but meaningful accomplishments.
• Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.
