Buddha Gift   -----   There's a blessing in there somewhere.   

Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind.   The goal is to find it.   Buddha is the first person know to have offered this message to his students; hence the name, "Buddha Gift."

    The Age of Reason:

This is the age at which a child begins to think for him/her self and ask questions about what he/she is told.   (typically at about seven years)  Prior to age seven the child simply takes in whatever  he/she is told and believes it as if it were true.

    Karma

Karma means that we reap the consequences of our own actions and these consequences transcend lifetimes on Earth and extend into whatever we experience after the death of our physical bodies.

We are all subject to certain universal laws. even if we are ignorant of these laws and even when we deny they exist.   For example, humans cannot repeal the law of gravity, or the law of cause and effect.   The following statements are expressions of Karma;
"As you sow, so shall you reap."   
"What goes around comes around."  
"What you do to others, you also do to yourself."

The seeds we sow, turn into the fruit we reap.   Because we cannot be sure of the exact nature of the universal laws, one is wise to sow peace, love, and compassion.

    One-life-ism

One-life-ism is the religious belief that humans life only one life on Earth and then go to heaven, hell, or some other undefined place after death.   This is the basic belief of Christianity.   It's also part of the Islamic belief system.   One could also say atheists believe in one-life-ism.   For a clear distinction between one-life-ism, reincarnation, and atheism, see the page titled: The Three Religious Assumptions in The Book of Timeless Truths and Wisdom®.

   Bet to Pot Ratio

In any given situation that involves a decision, there is something to gain and something to lose on each side.   Comparing what can be gained to what can be lost is, in the gambling world, called the bet-to-pot ratio.   The same principle applies in other areas of life.    

For example, would you have sex with someone for ten cents?    Probably not.    Would have sex with someone for ten million dollars?    Probably yes.   The Ben Franklin approach to decision making is an en example of how to apply this principle to your life.

   Indulgences   (Selling Indulgences)

Selling indulgences was an ingenious money-making scam set up by the early Roman Catholic Church.   

An indulgence defined: "The purchase of a pardon which secured the buyer's salvation or released the soul of another from purgatory."*1  

 Here's how the scam worked:   You gave The Roman Catholic Pope money and God forgave you your sins.   It was a money-back-guaranteed, ticket to heaven.

Indulgences had their hay day with  the sixteenth-century, GAY Pope, Pope Leo X.*2   He became Pope in 1513 and is famous for his zeal at selling indulgences.   In those days the governments were ruled by what was  called the "established church."   It ruled every aspect of European life.    People had to obey the laws of the church and pay taxes that went to the church.   Whether or not they followers of the faith was irrelevant.

The church leaders peddled the story that without the church's blessing, God would not let you into heaven.   The people,  being uneducated and having no other source of information, believed the story.   Thousands of people purchased indulgences.   Leo was such a good salesman that he even gave the purchaser a piece of paper acknowledging God's forgiveness.

Pope Leo X is also famous for sparking the wrath of Martin Luther who, posted his  famous "95 Theses" on the church door on October 31, 1517.   Luther's theses attacked Pope Loe's practice of selling indulgences and triggered the European revolution know as the Reformation. 

*1  Accordance with Catholic teaching, purgatory (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, to purify)  is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions.

*2  Now we can't say with absolute, provable certainty that Pope Leo X was a homosexual; however, when we read descriptions of naked young boys coming out of cakes at his parties, one could reasonable apply the same criteria to Pope Leo X the has been applied to former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover:  "If he wasn't gay, he certainly gave a good impression of someone who was."

    Hidden Agenda

To have a hidden agenda is to conceal one's true intentions behind a facade of something else.   It's hypocrisy in actions.   It's saying one thing and quietly or even secretly doing something else.   It's another way of lying by withholding the truth. °   Although such behavior is legal, it's morally and ethically  bankrupt.

.

Here's an example of a hidden agenda.

The anti-abortion leaders offer us an excellent example of a hidden agenda.   They claim that their intention is to save the lives of innocent babies.   If that really is their true intention, then we wonder  why  they ignore the 40,000 children who starve to death ° every day or die of curable diseases?    We wonder why are they badger people and demand egg rights while allowing 40,000 innocent children to die every day?  WHY?  Because they have a hidden agenda and that agenda is not about saving babies.   

Their true intention is political domination. °  Their true intention is to create a Christian Theocracy in America ° with themselves in charge.

Then why are they so adamantly opposed  to abortion?   
M  O  N  E  Y !   Because pretending to be concerned about saving babies  is a highly effective advertising  tool.    Without the abortion controversy they could not raise the millions of dollars they regularly raise.   Without the abortion controversy they could not obtain the multi-millions of dollars worth of free publicity that they now use to sway public opinion.    Without the abortion controversy they could not obtain the political power they now have.

Without the abortion controversy,  they would have to find another way to stroke their egos and appease their guilt.   Without the abortion controversy,  they would each be just one more minister among the thousands presently struggling to find enough  money to support their churches.

Why Not simply be honest?   Because the entire anti-abortion campaign is base on unprovable religious beliefs. °    Because it's based on a religious fairytale that comes to us from antiquity, from men who believed the Earth was flat. °    Because the anti-abortion story cannot stand the light of open honest questioning. ° 

True intention:   You can easily see someone's true intentions in three major ways:   1) by noting the company they keep, 2)  by watching what activities they engages in and 3)  by being aware of what actually happens.   In this example:  The intention of the anti-abortion leaders is to ignore starving babies.   Why do I say that?  Because  the evidence tells us that that's exactly what they're doing.   

How can a group  (with millions of dollars to spend)  claim to be saving babies and at the same time ignore the 40,000 children to starve to death ° each and every day or die from curable diseases?   Not only that, by way of their anti-abortion gag rule, °  by their other activities, °  and by what they condone and support, °  they force many mothers with starving children to produce still more unwanted babies.

Their true intention, their  real agenda revolves around  ego, money, power, fame, and political control.   They don't really care about saving innocent lives because their true intention is to  hijack (to take over and dominate) the Republican party.   The people who claim to be saving babies are spending millions of baby-saving dollars dollars promoting ultra-conservative Republican candidates for political office.   Why?  Because those candidates support their political intention.  They are anti-abortion, anti-sex, anti-gay rights, and  anti-almost anything pleasurable.   Those candidates are part of the team working to  create a Christian theocracy in America.

Exposing their hidden agenda reveals a cesspool  of Hypocrisy. °     The anti-abortion promoters may be pro-embryo, but they certainly are NOT pro-life.

    Horse Blinders:  

Back in the late 1800's, the major means of transportation on busy city streets were horse drawn carriages.   In order to keep their horses from getting spooked by the hustle and bustle of the nearby people and carts,  the wagon drivers would attach leather eye covers on the horsed head so the horse could only see what was straight in front of its nose.    The carriage driver controlled where the horse's nose was pointed.   Anything that was not within the horses very limited field of view was essentially non existent as far as the horse was concerned. 

For centuries, the major churches have put the psychological equivalent of horse blinders on their followers..  They tell their followers what to think and discourage learning how to think.   Here's what they tell the parishioners:  If you come into anything that contradicts our church theology,  1)  immediately stop listening/reading/viewing/etc.   2)   Turn away and refuse to hear/read/see any more.   Why?   Because all that stuff is Satan's work, and if you pay attention to it, you'll loose your faith and condemn yourself to hell FOREVER!    

Christian Anti-abortion leaders even refer to their followers as sheep.   How many sheep do you know that are noted for their independent thinking?   

Attempting to change the mind of an anti-choice true believer is like "Whipping a dead horse."  or  "p___ing  into the wind."  As another old saying goes,  "Don't try to teach a pig to sing.   It wastes your time and annoys the pig."  And if you want to get biblical,  "Cast not your pearls before swine."

So if you want to get really radical, simply start thinking outside the box..  You'll be amazed at what the result will be.

    Sanskrit

Sanskrit is an ancient language in which many of the sacred texts of the Eastern religions are written.

    SNAFU

This is a long-standing military slang term which means:   Situation Normal, All Fucked Up.

    Spin Doctor

A spin doctor is a person whose job is to make something or someone look better than he, she, or it is,  or to make an opponent look worse that he or she is.   Spin Doctors commonly distort the evidence by emphasizing one aspect of it while completely ignoring anything that contradicts the image they are intending to have the public believe.   Those with a political agenda are notorious for peddling spin-doctor distortions of the evidence.

 Lobbyists are spin doctors.   They are  hired by someone who has an agenda to peddle to our legislators.   Unfortunately, they often are parties to legalized bribery, in the form of campaign contributions to those who vote for their position.   As Will Rogers once said (and its even truer today):   "We have the best politicians that money can buy."

    The United States Constitution

Granting or Restricting

The United States Constitution ( including its amendments) does not grant you any rights.   You already have  the rights to life, liberty, free movement, free speech, property ownership, free trade,  etc, and governments do not have the right infringe upon these God-granted rights.   

Unfortunately, the American Constitution's Bill of Rights is mislabeled.  The amendments are not granting rights.   They are  actually declarations of restriction.    They  restrict agents of government, specifically prohibiting certain actions and allowing others.

.

Teaching that the constitution grants you rights  is still one more example of mis-education done with the underlying intention to deceive and manipulate. the public.

.

Source of Rights:

The Declaration of Independence (July 4,1776) actually acknowledges that your rights come from God  and not from any government.  

... All men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ...

"Although the preamble is not a source of power for any department of the Federal Government, the Supreme Court has often referred to it as evidence of the origin, scope, and purpose of the Constitution."  Quote from:   http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/preamble/

    Victim Consciousness

Victim consciousness is blaming someone else for what's wrong in your life.   It's living in denial of The Three Universal Laws of Creation.   It's looking outside yourself to solve the problems that originate inside yourself.
