My Future World

No junk just life 
Beyond modernity 
No oil just air 
We breathe 
Sky we see 
Food sparingly 
Things we need

Modular 
Built in 
Replaceable 
Mass produced 
Customized

Thousands within a mile 
Four levels max 
An eco-Space 
No homes 
No apartments 
No houses 
Pueblos perhaps


No cars in the space 
No stairs 
Open 24/7

Everyone will have a private space 
Modular on a 
Skeleton frame 
But no individual eco-stuff 
That is the skeleton

Zonings on its head 
All in the mix 
Business 
Education 
Culture 
Recreation 
Living

Not to cook a choice 
Squares each few hundred feet 
No extreme weather can get in 
Security enhanced

Child centric 
Old centric 
Mingled

I won't see it 
But I know that it will come

Don't Be Afraid to Look Within

So literal we are and so afraid to look within 
Where Abba is alive the spark in all 
Not some quiescent soul a living force 
Ready to answer you if you but call




World moving
Toward spirituality
Individual
But social too
Sharing universal values

Barack Obama - Poem

Barack Obama said 
Deep within himself

There are two kinds of power
There is the power of the struggle
There is the power of the victor
Struggle begins
The cold in Springfield 
Iowa to Super Tuesday to the cold Mall
Daunted not at all 
I knew 
I knew
The power of the victor 
Let me down 
For now I knew 
My hands were useless 
To achieve 
My dreams
I met my enemies
Was forced to pause

Now I see the truth
These powers must be fused
The power of the victor
The power of the struggle
I move with a light step
With my dreams intact

Jesus Offered in a Very Few Words the Recipe for Every Person on the Planet




The Best Self Help is Abba's Way
Jesus' Gift Consisted of a Prayer to Be Used Daily 
and a Set of Interactive Values that Can Be Inferred 
from All He Said and Did.

Jesus was a we person.
If you read the Lord's Prayer, you will be shocked. 
Here is a revolutionary few words to be prayed by you and me - individuals.
But the pronoun used is the second person plural.
We. Us. Our.

Here is my simple version of the prayer.

The Lord's Prayer

Abba whose home in heaven is 
Hallowed and holy is your name 
Let your realm come your will be done 
Till earth and heaven are the same

Give us this day our daily bread 
Forgive the wrongs that we have done 
As we forgive those who do wrong 
Lead us not into temptation

Deliver us from evil Lord 
And safely guide us to your shore 
Yours is the power to heal and mend 
Yours is the glory evermore

The best self help can be stated in one sentence.

Become a "we" person

Yes, Abba created us to operate as individuals. 
We receive and process everything as individuals. 
Our individual heart is the center 
of both our best and our worst. 
It is us as individuals we have to get in order 
in order to become we persons.

Fortunately the daily use of the prayer 
will get us on the road to the best self help in the world. 
It contains in just twelve lines the fundamental values 
Jesus commends to create world revolution. 
It helps us move from being a hierarchical, 
selfish, murderous world 
to the world envisioned in the prayer

Non-Idolatry

The root of what Jesus was up to.

He wants us to become iconoclasts. 
With no gods whatsoever on this planet.
If we must have a god 
let it be the One to whom we pray this prayer. 
Let's not get possessive 
because Jesus has already told us 
by the use of the word Abba 
(father, daddy, buddy, friend) 
a name we can and should use. 
Obviously it is not the final hallowed name 
which no one can claim to know.

We are to have no other gods before this One
All of our big fan worship 
and worship of things 
and consumption 
is simply idolatry 

Democracy

Democracy is a recognition 
that the injustice in the world is our fault.
Abba's world contains enough for everyone 
if we are reasonable about it. 
We spend billions upon billions 
to support unreasonable rationalizations 
for not making the world as Abba wishes it to be.
This prayer says we are to create a word that is like heaven. 
A world where every person is valued. 
Where everyone has the same chances.
That is what democracy does when it functions as it is supposed to do.
Democracy means our daily bread. 
Each person is entitled to what is needed to provide a floor for living.
Forget safety net. Think floor. Think standing tall.
Forget our charity and philanthropy and think rights. 
This bread line in the prayer is aggressive. 
We have the right. 
It is Abba's gift. 
Our global economy is a rationalization wrapped in hypocrisy.

Helpfulness

The most helpful thing anyone can do is to 
forgive using the methodology of this prayer.
Forgiving is the key to personal freedom. 
It lightens the burden. 
It can be done in a nanosecond.
We do not need self-help seminars to get this done. 
When you use the prayer 
you enter a contract with Abba. 
As you personally waft your forgiveness out to the world, 
Abba wafts forgiveness into your very being.
If you do not or cannot forgive, 
Abba still wants to forgive you but the flow will not work. 
This is the only reciorocal demand in the prayer.
It is there for a reason. 
It is the seat of our dignity and self-respect.

Practice These Values

What actually helps is practice of these values, 
propagation of these values 
and substitution of these values 
for the empty and stalled value system 
of the Aristotelian world. 
That world is over.

The world actually moves from one place to another. 
History has a progressive purpose. 
If you do not believe these things, 
then Abba's way is not for you.

Jesus was a mover and a shaker 
and an organizer of human rights 
and human prerogatives. 
He died because he thus usurped the power of priests 
and dissed the state for its idolatry .

His resurrection is simply confirmation 
that the values he embodied are in fact eternal 
as we are when we likewise embrace them.

As to the furniture of eternity, 
that is not our problem at this point.
The point now is to get past charity and to rights.
Helpfulness is real hands on helping people 
already crushed by the structures and evils of the world. 
This is done as much by education and action 
as by what we ordinarily think of as help.

Tolerance

Tolerance works with these other values 
as a source of strength and flexibiity.
The tolerant person has a center which is free. 
It is unencumbered by hatreds. 
It accepts the now. 
It is open to the fluidity of the future.

Tolerance relates to mindfulness which relates to temptation. 
It keeps us from yielding to temptation.
Tolerance relates to being delivered from evil 
because evil is clearly intolerable. 
To avoid it is to move with wisdom and resilience 
to a negotiational posture in dealing with all conflicts.

The Best Self Help

The best self help is not some regimen of this or that guru 
- as if you were dieting.
No, the best self help is to embrace values 
and practice daily a simple prayer 
that grounds these values in the reality Jesus unveiled.

Jesus is the great deconstructor of the ancient world 
- its superstitions and its authoritarian tendencies. 
He opens the door to a progressive understanding of things. 
And to the notion of universal values. 
And of Abba as the universal presence 
to whom every voice can call.

The use of this prayer and the practice of these values 
is Abba's way. 
It is the very best self help there is. 
It works without fail. 
It requires no maintenance or expense or organization. 
Or anything else that an individual cannot bring to it 
and devise and commit to.

Obama Wins - A Prophecy from 2010

Come gather round ye haters a story I will tell 
About how the President beat you 
It's a story I know well 
If the millions spent on hate ads put all the wing nuts in 
They will be such a side show 
The President will win


If the money spent on hatred should fail to do the job 
When wing nuts have to govern 
Their thunder he will rob 
He'll have two years to do it and he will do it well 
And the chickens will come home to roost 
In November 2012

How President Obama Wins No Matter What Happens - Free Verse by Stephen C. Rose To the tune of "Pretty Boy Floyd".
