When one can ignore or justify warfare, and yet be outraged by one murder which they personally find heinous, one must examine the accuracy of their moral compass, should one not?
Good reading! Thank you, Bill, for sharing this:

My other mind (aka D) and I were talking tonight about our purpose on Earth this time. His mind communicated to my mind that we have a destiny in this Universe right now.
My mind suggested to his mind that I had been considering—for some time— that our purpose here/now was to manifest effectively the concepts of our Creator, and that we chose to manifest for the Creator, rather than the destroyer.
We agreed it was a valid concept. Then we shared from spirit, to more fully synthesize the synaptic interface to integrate this specific concept. I like being a part of the Mind Who Created existence. As I have said so many times, free will is choosing how we will use our awareness to manifest in this Existence. We each have that choice. Free will.
I want to be part of a united humanity, cooperative in Peace and Problem-Solving, but only through voluntary, individual effort. I recently had a conversation with a fine chap, who posited that it was sometimes difficult to know what was good and what was ignorance (he used the term evil, I think). He is, I think, a Certified Statist. Ignorant, but I do not call him evil. He does not know. He is one to teach. I believe he lives on stolen funds—often called taxes. I don’t think he comprehends the shame of such an existence.
That which benefits the life and joy of each individual human, and of all humans, is a good. If it does not pass this hurdle, then it is not a good. As an individual humans process of contradiction resolution, this concept—more commonly known as the Zero Aggression Principle—lends itself to effective self-examination and mental—as well as spiritual—growth. (My eccentric interpretation of The Nazarene’s Message, that excellent anarchist.) Living off of the initiation of force against other humans is not a good.
It is the New Year. Now we are here, all of us on this Earth, and we are learning some stuff. As we share good concepts, as we inoculate the cultural matrix with memes of justice, liberty, and charity, we engage the synaptic patterns of others, and we provide them with a bit of contradiction resolution assistance. Then a new society arises with the old. A culture of independent individuals of peace, who are neither naive, nor alone. Reason will be more apparent. Humankind will begin to mature. We are a young species. We are only now becoming peaceful. Whales, dolphins, and eagles already live in anarchy. Are we less than they?
I think the above is a part of the message we are all singing these days. The harmony and the melody are magnificent to my ears. Better than Scriabin’s Preludes, or Rachmaninoff’s Third. Can you help but smile at these voices raised together?
Too long have rougher voices held forth in cacophony. Now is the time of harmony. Now is the time of Peace. We have a purpose on Earth, and we are doing a superb job of manifesting, aren’t we? Cognito, Ergo Armo.
And so this note is to send
Blessings, and all Best Wishes for a New Year of Peace, Justice, Liberty, and self-responsibility as well as self-governance. This is what we are here to teach. It is happening all around us. Let us all continue to speak out for Peace. It is our time to manifest.

ps—if you should find any errors in my thinking, I will appreciate your corrections. Thank you.
“The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn’t wrong if it’s called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn’t wrong if it’s called arrest, that mass murder isn’t wrong if it’s called war.”
Thank you Bill.
Today, I ask the rest of you, “Who Owns Your Life?”
Is it not so that this question admits of only one answer? You own your life. It is yours. It is your existence. It is the expression of your spirit. Beware the trickery of mere words. Ask questions. Question your answers. Teach your own mind. Be self-responsible. Be the nobel, unique person you were meant to be. Follow your heart.
Now then, who owns your life?
Do you approve of kidnapping? Do you approve of murder? Do you approve of armed robbery, theft, and extortion?
Who owns your life?

When there is negativity around you; when you need to remember Who You Are, a creation of the most great Creator, here is a prayer to bring you back to your beloved self.
O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.
O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.
Can be read here.
The old order Social Contract—which gave license to government to initiate force—obviously needs to be revised immediately, don’t you think? Haven’t we humankind had slaves and masters long enough? Why are we acquiescing to these gangs that initiate force against us?
Don’t you think any good leader of humankind would be wise enough to know how to make peace without wars?
Don’t you think any good leader would be wise enough to know how to lead her followers closer to absolute and total self-responsibility, and then stand aside and admire his peers?
Don’t you think any good leader would accept the responsibility of resolving humankind contradictions, but would refuse the power to initiate force against anyone?
Don’t you think any good leader would step aside if someone more able to lead came forth?
Don’t you think any politician would strive for removal of initiation of force as a tool of persuasion, replacing violence with reason?
Where are the good leaders? Are enough people leaders now? Are we yet the approximately billion points of light? I think we are getting there—at light speed, from the point of observation of some Observer probably older and wiser than we.
Thank you Bill, L.Neil, Tam, all…
