Do as we say not as we do.. (or spiritual hypocrites to those in the trade.)

when i first started 'pioneering' at aged 19 i was encouraged by my so called spiritual leaders(elders) to do window cleaning.

which i did but could never make enough to support myself, so i had to take a second part time job which was also a cleaner at a primary school.

i was always broke and always poor.. what never really clicked with me until many years after leaving was that none of these so called elder spiritual guides did window cleaning or pioneered themselves.. in fact they did the very opposite and lived very full and rich lives.. one ran his own building firm and dealt with milt-million pound contracts, another had his own very successful double glazing business, another was some kind of mechanical engineer who worked for some big multi-national organisation, another was a chemical engineer, another owned and ran his own very busy printing firm.

an atheist airman is being denied the ability to re-enlist in the us air force because he refuses to use the word god in his oath of office, according to the american humanist association (aha).. the unnamed member of the air force refused to take the oath containing so help me god, wanting a secular affirmation instead.

so he crossed out the phrase on his contract.

the airman was told by his superiors that he must swear to god or leave the air force, the aha said in a press release.

Do you like the people in the Bible?
by Dis-Member in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the society always speaks about all the wonderful people and characters in the bible.. they always too speak of many of them as being so humble, faithful, loyal, diligent, loving, kind, wise, merciful etc, and worthy of imitation.

also of how god blessed them followed by endless examples and reasons why we today should imitate them.. .

they also speak of how wonderful it would be to meet some of these people in the future 'new system' and have often depicted scenes where the the survivors of armageddon would be gathered around some ancient resurrected faithful asking them questions and listening to their stories of times past.

this is what an indigo child looks like in action.. he just nailed it in these few sentences:.

"you have no proof that there's anything out there, the only proof is yourself and where you are.. and you can only make theories, you can never know the truth".

"the meaning of your life is what you make it, what you want your life to be.. nobody can decide what you will do except for you".

this short film from paul trillo takes a look at the infinite options that fill our daily lives and how the consequences of our actions can transform the multiple paths that we can take, combining over a lifetime to define us as people.

some choices we think we can affect, others seem too small to contemplate.. a look at the infinite possibilities within the everyday.

following a day in the life of vincent, "subject x" and his many variations that exist throughout the universe.
