The Hemperor's New Clothes
Jack Herer is the man most responsible for the information about hemp and the initiatives that have re-legalized it in a dozen US states. Here is a short 10 minute rap by him that covers the main areas of what makes Hemp the "Number 1 renewable resource on Earth that all 4.5 million other plant types combined together cannot equal for food, fuel, medicine, and fiber." This man has offered over a million dollars to anyone who could prove him wrong--and no one has been able to take him up on it. This is a special "taliking head" edit that features Jack inserted into the pages of his International best seller "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" --the defiinitive expose' of the conspiracy against hemp. Whenever the kids come home from school and mention the D>A>R>E> cops visiting their class with all the false propaganda, Jack's book is the first thing I pull out and show them. The proof is all there.

How To Run A Hemp Initiative Campaign
In 1994 we recorded this behind-the-scenes look at Jack Herer and his team of activists who generated the first hemp initiative to make the ballot in California. Watch as we see how it was done and the techniques and crew who made it possible. This is how politics can change--through educating the public and using the initiative process. DO IT!

Urban green sustainable community in the Ballard district of Seattle, Sustainable Ballard has made huge successes in a short time. They have a fast growing network and many resources. They will talk with you about all the aspects from food to bio-fuels, and have speakers who will come to your events. Learn how your urban group can be green from the grooup that is way ahead of the pack.
The oldest book in the world, the I Ching (which in Chinese means 'the Book of Change' ), says that CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT—infinitely vast in its potential, in all forms, dimensions, directions,and energies.I won't go into the more scientific ramifications of how that all applies here in our modern world. I know it is obvious to you, or you would not be reading this blog. You're probably wondering what my point is.
WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS,
"THIS ANCIENT BOOK OF WISDOM REVEALS THE (shhhhhh!)
It is buried in a well known hexagram called "the Well"--have you ever checked it out?
In the translation commentaries, we are told that the well represents the source of nourishment within the Earth that sustains the life of the community. The people draw this needed sustenance for themselves and their crops from a source that is always there, and that they always need.This is a stark way to see the human relationship with nature, but this is ancient wisdom we are talking here, not "modern".
THE SECRET that is revealed in this hexagram by the ancient teachers is that the people,—needing the sustenance in the earth—
find a way to get it.
Maybe they start with a bucket and a rope. Maybe this works for awhile, but then the rope breaks, or the well is lower and the rope is no longer long enough, or the bucket is old and falling apart, or the bucket just ain't big enough for the growing community's needs...You get the picture.
"Obviously" say the masters of the I Ching, "the rope and bucket metaphorically represent the "MEANS" by which humanity gets their basic needs met from the earth. This "means" involves political systems and economic systems as well as all the tooling up and manufacturing systems, along with their transportation systems..Etcetera."
Marketers, networkers, social change artists, activists, evolutionary agents, and—to put it in terms that are now defined more clearly—the positive deviants of the world—all are seeking each other to integrate their talents, because they are the real major instigators of big transformational change.
It is driven by a massive human cellular gene pool of 55 trillion cells (in each human body) times 6.5 billion bodies programmed for survival and adaptability
--the state of the art organism in evolution--
*HUMANITY*
This historic moment is the Tsunami wave of consciousness that shifts everything.
--the state of the art organism in evolution--
*HUMANITY*
This historic moment is the Tsunami wave of consciousness that shifts everything.So what do you think people are going to want? And guess how much they are going to be willing to pay—just as long as they can keep doing "business as usual" and meeting their basic human needs?
There are some of us on the Internet who are tired of using hype systems—the kind of hype systems that creates millionaires in minutes through clever word games and fancy marketing techniques, selling garbage at top dollar, manipulating the Internet environment for their own "see ya later, sucker, I'm retiring in Brazil while the world goes down, see ya later...when-I-need-more-money"—those types of "SYSTEMS".
You know, using the kind of trash in your email 'in-box' that promises the same "secret" for that almost-out-of-reach-but-risk-free-fool-proof deal. The urgency they can make us feel, the copywriting geniuses of all time that they are--whew makes my head swim.
Those scam deals wont float much longer. Activists and marketers are both the kind of networkers that realize, *whether it is *product* or a *good cause*, we have to take it to market to get folks to buy it....
*because we have a prime directive from evolution
to market the transformation of humanity on Earth!*
The shift in world economics is trending toward "appropriate" "MEANS"
WHAT TIME IS IT?With only 6 more years to the end
of the Mayan calendar,
all the prophecies seem to point to this moment.
And it really does boil down to MARKETING!
(Which is why us "Positive Deviants" are getting together. Pssst, Here is the link about the Positive Deviant phenomena;)
But all this talk about "change" and a world shifting gears into a reality very different from anything yet experienced by humanity, may have you wondering what Ripple TV has to do with all this, and what the heck is this blog all about.????
Ripple TV is actually me, Neriah Lothamer. I have archived the global change for the last 35 years; and continue now online, with text, pictures, music, and video that inspire an interactive approach to our world.I have many video and audio pieces to share, and I am starting with the most visionary and inspirational to me.
I intend to encourage a relationship here.
These media clips are connected to real people with very real techniques for healing our planet. They are working on the transformation and invite your participation and support.
Some of this media will be from other sources and I will explain when I publish their url why I link to them from this blog.
But most of this material will be my footage of various events and people, edited by me for this blog.
I will solicit donations, as well as ask for email addresses for newsletter alerts and detailed information about resources available to the public. I encourage a subscription sign-up for my audio and video podcasts, and I sell CDs, DVDs, and books. I also promote various entertainment and environmental events, as well as spiritual and Ascension Process happenings.
In other words, this is a very different website, involved in an eclectic mix of media for the purpose of global and personal change to a more peaceful and healthy life on Earth. Join me as we explore the adventure online, sharing with each other the treasures that we each find.

Here is the First video:
SF Peace Rallies 2003........PEACES
Jan/Feb/March 2003 Peace rallies in the streets of San Francisco. Exciting fly-on-the-wall footage with no narration. Watch 1,200,000 people practicing their US Constitutional rights of freedom of speech and redress of grievances. Over 40 million people wordwide participated in this, simultaneously demonstrating against any bombing of Iraq.
Let us reiterate here 3 years later, that:
- No weapons of "mass destruction" were ever found.
- The costs of this aggression are billions of dollars per day.
- Thousands of Young Americans are dead or wounded
- No sign of real stability in Iraq
- Gas prices over $3.50 per gallon
- The Global Warming continues to destroy our environment
- Hurricane Katrina victims were unable to get help from our troops
- We now hear of bombing Iran next
- A military man is nominated for the civilian cabinet post of Secretary of War
- We hear of US government recording all phone calls and emails of its citizens
- No end in sight of Iraq occupation by US troops
- No end of terrorism in sight
- No presidential explanation to Cindy Sheehan why here son is dead
- No accountability from the president about the lies he told to get us into Iraq
- All Bush said about the rallies was, "I do not listen to special interest groups" instead of listening as a leader of our country to the redress of grievances presented by these rallies nationwide
Hear the voices in the streets marching -- not listened to by the government!

RAINBOW PEACE PRAYER GATHERINGS
Intro to annual week-long Rainbow Family of Living Light Peace Prayer Gatherings held every 4th of July in the USA national forests, usually attended by at least 20,000 pople. This is a free event totally run by volunteers since 1972. In this 25 minute video you see 2 scenes. The first is a group of Rainbow entertainers singing a traditional gathering song around a campfire for a special production by Conscious Wave. The second scene is a recording of the Silent Prayer for Peace in Colorado 1992, shot & edited by me, with a campfire song, recorded later that evening, dubbed over the silence.
Note: until recently the Rainbow Family has successfully defended its US Constitutional rights to peaceful assembly and redress of grievances on public lands. Forest service regulations have attempted to stop these events, even though the gatherings have had no major problems and are ecologically safe. For over 35 years, these Rainbow gatherings have hosted this prayer for peace in the Cathedral of Nature. In spite of government opposition, Rainbows still carry on with a massive civil-disobedience each year and gather to pray in silence.
Rainbow Family of Living Light
Peace Prayer Gathering 2006
Peace Prayer Gathering 2006
It is time to bring the Rainbow Family of Living Light Peace Prayer Gatherings to the public notice. Since 1972 these events have annually drawn 20-30,000 people into the woods to pray in silence for world peace.
In fact, the Rainbow Gatherings stand upon the Constitutionally protected rights of the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights. In recent years, the federal government has sought to close these gatherings illegally; claiming under FEMA, the Patriot Act, and Homeland Security that these gatherings to pray for peace are a crime.
This year the government more than ever tried to stop the prayer. In spite of hundreds of tickets being issued, 35,000 people participated in the prayer circle, and defied the government's illegal regulation with civil disobedience. I believe that everyone who prays for peace now, is in oneness with this prayer.
I am posting here 11 minutes of the Prayer circle in a Quicktime MP4 format . You can hear the silence that has gone on all morning since dawn, only the children and the wind can be heard. As it approaches noon, the "Kid's parade" enters the huge circle that has opened up, and proceeds to the center of the prayer circle. Then an "Om" followed by exuberant jubilation begins the celebration of peace on Earth.
This video is edited in chronological order with no overdubs or inserted audio or video, it is exactly replicated with no additions, merely cutting out the shaky camera movements. This event was a few miles from the parking lot, with no electricity and only the Rainbow collective community kitchens to feed all these folks. This has been the Rainbow way for over 35 gatherings in the last 34 years.
Rainbow Prayer Gatherings now cover the planet, but only the U.S. national Rainbow Gathering attracts such large numbers. To find out more about these gatherings check out "Welcome Home"

Rainbow Family of Living Light Peace Pole
Scroll down to view videos of the Peace Pole
These videos are about the Rainbow Family of Living Light Peace Pole. To understand who the Rainbow family is and what the Peace Pole is, takes knowing something about the various prophecies related to them, and an understanding of the “Ascension Process” now occurring upon the Earth.
The Rainbow Family of Living Light began in 1972 to facilitate an annual silent prayer for Global Peace every 4th of July. This free event happens in the U.S. national forests, usually a few miles from the ‘parking lot’ and attracts around 20,000 people from all over the world and from many diverse backgrounds and religions to participate in it.
I attended the first Rainbow Gathering in Colorado in 1972; and of the 35 annual gatherings that followed; I was at 15 of them. I will share here some of what I witnessed that led up to the Peace Pole becoming a part of the Rainbow gathering prayer for peace.
First of all, a series of events evolved for the Rainbow Gatherings that seemed to bring it in line with the prophecies. Originally called the “Gathering of the Tribes”, the first Rainbow Gathering claimed to be the gathering of the “144,000” mentioned in “Revelations” as “New Jerusalem”; as well as the gathering of the “Rainbow people of Peace” prophesied by the Hopi. The initial 1972 gathering in Colorado had 45,000 participants, who all walked the 8-mile trail up to Strawberry Lake.
In 1972, the Rainbow reached consensus about using an “open-to-all” council process to make decisions. I witnessed in 1976, at the first Montana gathering, the U.S. Forest Service accept, acknowledge, and participate with the Rainbow Council. That council agreed by consensus that no one person can speak for the Rainbow Family Council unless specifically appointed by the council to do so.This happened because of a matter involving a piece of sacred Indian land that one brother was talking to the local Indians about using for the prayer on the 4th of July. Because he erroneously said he represented the Rainbow Council, and was pressuring the Indians to agree when they did not want to; the Indians asked the Forest Service to intervene.
The result was three-fold: the Forest Service officially accepted the Rainbow Council as the gathering decision-making body, they actually participated in and were in consensus with the council, and the Rainbow Family agreed to never allow any other “spokespersons” but those specifically selected by the council as ”liaison” for specific reasons, with no authority to go beyond their clearly defined tasks.
It is important to note that no other “tribe” has ever been able to get the government to recognize their “real” council, and always has had to accept the “tribal council” forced on them by the B.I.A.
The following year, at the first Arizona Rainbow Gathering, The Rainbow Gathering was blessed with 2 visionary happenings. The first Rainbow tipi circle was formed, with all the tipis facing the center instead of the East. Second, the most important acknowledgement ever, from Hopi elder, Grandfather David Monongye.
He came riding into camp on horse-back, an 85 year old traditional Hopi, who had already gone to the United Nations and the Geneva World Court, as well as the United States’ Congress and Senate; publicly sharing the ancient and secret prophecies of the Hopi, and how that all related to the coal mining on Black Mesa in Hopi-land.
Grandfather David spent several days with the camp, and there was one huge circle where he spent several hours carefully explaining to us all, what the Hopi prophecies revealed about these times, and how the “Rainbow Family” had a part to play in them. He specifically acknowledged that the Rainbow Family was indeed involved in the prophesy, and why.
He said, “The prophecy tells of the Rainbow people of peace, composed of all spiritual beliefs, and they will be called people of peace with a name similar to ‘Hopi’ (which means “people of peace” in Hopi)—and there is no accident that ‘Hopi’ and ‘Hippie’ sound alike.”The next year, in Oregon, the gathering had 22 tipis in one huge circle, and also accomplished having one huge prayer circle, rather than many smaller ones throughout the camp as had happened previously. Papa-san Eastman was sent by Spirit to pray with us, and he did an all-day medicine pipe ceremony for us, blessing 7 family pipes, which 600 people participated in.
At that gathering, a few people noticed the unusual, carved pole that a Japanese monk set up in the middle of the tipi circle. He had done his own Buddhist Nam Reng Kyo ceremony, not noticing the special participants around him.
Most of those onlookers were from a very visionary, multi-national, gypsy “Living Theater” troupe, who traveled around the world in buses giving multi-media theater performances. Their name at that time was “The Illuminated Elephants”
I was ignorant of who these people were, but I did notice the ceremony happening. It was small and I did not think of it much, as “Nam Reng Kyo” did not appeal to me. But little did I know how all this would greatly affect many others and me.
So, the next year at the first Arizona Rainbow Gathering, I was a main gatekeeper, greeting folks with a “Welcome Home”, a smile, and an orientation rap. Part of that job included watching out for government cameras and biased media, trying to hone in on the energy of the Rainbow. That was how I came to be aware of the 3 different groups who were at the gathering with the state-of-the-art video cameras of that time, 3/4“ U-matics.
I will not go into all the detail here, but each of those groups had to get past the Rainbow Council, which adamantly did not want those video cameras going around unsupervised, filming whatever they wanted for their own purposes. This took several days of Rainbow Council to decide and agree to terms before any recording was allowed. This resulted in the forming of “The Rainbow Tell-A-Vision Council” authorized by the Rainbow Council to regulate and control media at Rainbow gatherings.
To make a long story short, the agreement was broken by one of the groups, resulting in the confiscation of those videotapes by the council. Three months after the gathering, I spearheaded the implementation of editing the material along with Garrick Beck of Rainbow Farm, and Alberto Ruiz of the Illuminated Elephants. The result was that 8 of us spent a week putting together what became the first video of a Rainbow Gathering to be edited by the Rainbow Tell-A-Vision Council.
Of the key players involved here, I will mention that Garrick’s father was Julian Beck, creator of Living Theater; and Alberto was the son of the first archaeologist in Mexico to discover the “jaguar bones” in a pyramid in Mexico, which bones held the only surviving, recorded account of the “Mayan Calendar Prophecies”. I had met Reverend Yamato at the gathering that year and found out that he had come from Japan to specifically seek the Hopi and the Rainbow as part of the Buddhist prophecies,
It was because of Reverend Yamato’s prayer pole that the Illuminated Elephants approached him in Arizona and asked to help make a “Rainbow” ceremony involving the pole. When he consented to participate, they ceremonially and with theater and dance, approached several main Rainbow Family groups and invited them to participate.
What resulted was the first Rainbow Family prayer ceremony with the Peace Pole, involving also a pageant. A few years later the Peace Pole was also placed at the center of the 4th of July prayer circle and was a regular part of that prayer for peace for 25 gatherings afterwards, as well as part of “The Peace Pole Pageant” usually held on the 6th.
What you will see here in the first video, is the footage from the Arizona Gathering edit that shows the first Rainbow Family ceremony with the Peace Pole. It starts in “Bus Village” with a sacred pipe blessing and then proceeds to parade throughout the 2-mile long camp, gathering participants.
At the center of the main circle, Yamato gives his prayer blessing of the pole. What follows is a series of presentations from several groups including: Flowering Tree Family, Wilderness Family, Love Family, Hog Farm, Rainbow Farm, and Fantuzzi.
It is important to note that the ceremony ends with a spontaneous “Alleluia” chorus that went on for almost an hour. What you see is a short edit of many of the presentations, with all other footage from that gathering edited out.
I will also mention that in the Illuminated Elephants piece, the girl dancing in the center is holding a braid made from a lock of hair from each member of the Illuminated Elephants, which had several different nationalities represented among them. She finishes their offering by tying that braid of hair to the pole.
Other than that, you will have to read between the lines. The faces you see are famous in the Rainbow Family, and they could be seen at major communities and events throughout the history of the Alternative Culture. Many of them now grandparents, still attend the gatherings when they can. But what all these people, the Rainbow Gathering, and the Peace Pole have in common is a prayer for Global Peace that has continued unbroken since 1972.
What you will see in the 2nd video is the ceremony of unique importance, which passes the caretaking position for the Peace Pole--to a woman for the first time. Carol Ann of the Casbah, often called the “Queen of the Hippies” or “Queen of the Gypsies”. Bari (pronounced Bar-ee), who carried the pole for over 2 years, leads the ceremonial walk out of the gathering, and shares allot of information about the Peace Pole and how it works. We also see at the end of the trail, Phillipe blessing all who carry the pole. He was one of the caretakers of the pole, perhaps for the longest time of all.
Last of all, I will mention that I am not the only person who has witnessed the power of this Peace Pole. I personally saw miracles and prophecies come true before my eyes, while praying with this pole. I entered into Samadhi-bliss several times with it, and I never saw a more powerful focusing prayer tool in my 60 years of life on Earth, so far.
This Peace Pole has been walked across the country on peace walks, including the Indian’s Longest Walk. Hundreds of thousands of people prayed with it, perhaps millions. But if you have any doubt as to its power, just ask any of those who have sat in the “vortex” center of the circle on the 4th of July at a Rainbow Gathering—they will all tell you the wildest, visionary tales of amazing things they felt, saw, and heard.
I believe The Peace Pole is an icon worthy of honor and respect; especially during this time of Earth and Humanity’s Ascension Process—many of the first Light workers on the Planet, here to serve this Ascension, prayed around this pole for peace. May their prayers, and all the prayers of every saint and martyr of peace, now manifest around the planet with the Violet Flame of Love, which is now Ascending in all our hearts, to heal all wounds of war and suffering, forever!

This second video entry to the Peace Pole Blog was recorded at the Colorado Rainbow Gathering July 6th, 2006. This follows Bari and Carol Ann on the spontaneous ceremony of transferring the caretaking of the Peace Pole to her.
There is some great information here on how the pole scientifically works, and about the history of various parts of the pole’s inscriptions. Subtle and humorous wordplay makes this a fascinating insight into the visionary minds of those who revere this symbol of focused prayer.
The pole, 2 days before this recording, was involved with the prayer for peace on the 4th of July. It was not at the exact center, but placed to the left of the Eastern Gate to the inner circle of the prayer. 30,000 people prayed around it that day and joined hands in a huge circle.The Peace Pole is now sent out to the world, having a mission of peace even more relevant in the face of the world situation. Any and all banners and totems of peace should freely guide our focus ever onward to the most noble aspects of the human experience.
This pole is a blessed focusing tool that amplifies the unified spiritual energy of all who are present. It brings an awesome reverence for the kinship of all Life, and s deep respect for our interconnectedness with all aspects of life.
Nothing outside of our Self is here. Everything is actually one within each of us. We all know now that we know. This is the moment of vast transformations and peace. As we face the whirlwinds of change, and look to who we are, we see each other and the whole circle—all holding on to the hem of life and those dear to us. Peace now is our constant companion, for there is no more fear. We have met our Self.
As people gather around a center, they face the center and see the whole circle as well. This centered circumspect point of view brings peace. With our 3rd eye and heart chakra working together, we are able now to hold this light of peace on the Earth. So be it.

July 22 & 30th Peace Pole video in Oregon
This 3rd entry is from the last 2 weeks of July 2006 in Oregon. It shows 2 diverse groups appreciating the Peace pole. While the pole was up, many folks connected in networking more peace in the world. Ideas were creatively passed around about implementing "peace-full" alternatives for local communities as well as our nation.
I have again left these videos speak for themselves, but the plan is to do a documentary from them with voice-overs explaining many of the activities around the pole.

Carol Ann is hoping to create a huge prayer ceremony around the Peace Pole at The Power To The Peaceful Concert in San Francisco this September.

Shadow Dancing With Abuse
Have you been abused? Has anger been aimed at you over and over again? Do you feel angry violence in your body? Does the word "victim" bring up feelings inside you? Do you deeply resent the politics of "bully aggression"?
Have you ever thought that U.S. politics are similar to the same abuse heaped upon you? Have you ever felt "dysfunctional" about any aspect of your life, and yet still participated in the "activism" of social and political change, marching in the streets to protest?
Have you ever wondered why that abuser in your life seems to behave allot like our president--ignoring your needs and stated feelings and imposing their choices on you, while acting as if they are the one who is right?
Did your daddy come home from WAR, all scarred emotionally and mentally by the atrocities, and beat your mom or you? Or, were you sexually abused by a relative? Have you ever wondered what was going on in Life with all this abuse you have experienced?
Welcome to the 21st Century where "Abuse" runs rampant on our planet. Where 12 MILLION people are slaves, women are tortured at birth; children are molested by priests, ministers, coaches, teachers and their own relatives; and where our planet's life-giving eco-system is under attack. No wonder personal counseling is a billion dollar business! This is a CRAZY WORLD we live in.
But you have had flashes of Light, bright hopes that shine in your heart. You have seen the value of your Spirit. You have reached deep within yourself for the TRUTH. You know you are a "worthy" human being, worthy of respect, worthy of LOVE, worthy of being accepted and appreciated.
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5410/1928/320/space6copy.0.jpg
You have struggled with your internal anger, you have found places of comfort and peace within yourself. Perhaps you think you are never going to really be healed of this pain you have carried within you heart and mind ever since the abuse began?
You have been dancing in the shadow of tyranny.
"Dancing in The Shadow of Tyranny, An Activist's Guide To Inner Disarmament" is my first published book, and has been declared,
"The #1 Social Change Book of 2005,"
by USA Book News!
As the title suggests, it is a guide--a map with resources. It even contains detailed information about the dynamics of abuse and anger; plus how to deal with and heal the pain caused by abuse and anger.
But what has that got to do with you?
Honestly answer me one question about abuse that will result in a pole-vault over the high-jump bar of 'denial':
"How do you deal with abuse?"
Do you run away, hide, attack, ignore, smile, OR do you really do something to stop the abuse? And if you do try to stop the abuse, what techniques work for you? Are they really working or are they just numbing your feelings? Do you want to find out how to help get over the "abuse factor" on Earth at this time? Or are you afraid?
Afraid that your anger might turn you into a terrorist?
Afraid of what might happen if you recognized and acknowledged your anger?
Afraid of speaking up and addressing the anger of others?
Afraid of dropping your identity as a "victim" and standing up against abuse of any kind?
Afraid that they might imprison or torture you for expressing such things?
DENIAL is not just a river in Egypt. It runs rampant through Humanity on our planet now. We cannot even deal with our co-dependency on oil. A reality that is ticking away our lifeblood on this Earth; and even with the last oil reserves running out in the next 20 years, our denial of this harmful and deadly addiction embroils our country, our young soldiers, our economy and our world in a WAR.
To say that "war" is not abusive would be redefining the word "abuse" to mean something else. War is the most abusive thing on the planet. It is the direct cause of abuse in everyone's life. Oh I can hear the denial welling up now, "No, not me, not for me, I am not affected, I have no anger about sending my children to die in a far-off land, just so we can enjoy the use of oil."
What about the anger that shouts from the cars at the protesters in the streets, saying "STOP blocking the road, I just want to get to work as usual." How do YOU address such denial?
Okay, why am I going on about this? Because the bottom line is: if you are not addressing the "abuse factor" on Earth now, then you are in denial about a very big dysfunctional problem for Humanity.
You probably noticed that the weather is changing, in spite of the denial about 'global warming' and the obvious increase in hurricanes and earthquakes. You also must be aware of the economic crunch hitting everyone but the rich in America. It almost takes 2 dollars for a European to buy $1 US. And it costs us an average of $1 to travel 7 miles in our autos.
I point this out to you; it is a metaphor. The metaphor of War is that we choose war rather than healing. Healing does not happen with an "oil war" and our planet is not getting any healthier as we spend billions going to war.
Our reactions to anger and abuse are similar; we go to war or we hide our head in the sand, until the war around us is over. In fact, we act exactly the same in the face of war as we do in the face of anger or abuse. The question is, "Are you willing to do something to change all this?"
You probably already know that this takes working on your self, honestly and fervently working to change. It takes reaching inside for the resources you have, and reaching outwardly for the resources available to you from others. My book is all about that. It is about the real dynamic of healing abuse and anger, both on the individual, personal level and the global, international level.
In this book
- you will find answers to the real questions, you will find solutions to your problems, you will find tools that work and help you make these changes.
- You will also find resources for healing your anger/abuse experiences,
- As well as for healing the rampant abuse in the World.
- AND you will find ways to connect to help; the kind that actually works.
- I will show you the most important personal growth techniques of all time,
- And I will get you in touch with those tools and how to learn to use them.
But without these tools and resources, you will continue to be lost, confused, and in pain--so order now.Your life is capable of being a much better experience. You can change the pain into pleasure. Many of us have survived abuse and anger to be here and tell you of these things.
It really is possible to turn your experience into a healthy, realistic, and functioning one. But you need to know some things first. You need to know what is in my book.
This is why I am offering you a special deal on this book. I have it marked at HALF-PRICE! For a limited time!
I am willing to share these keys to unlocking the prison of anger and abuse, right now. I personally paid for the printing and publishing, put in thousands of dollars on marketing, and have been to fairs, book-signings, and on radio interviews trying to get this message out to the world.
Hopefully, you are curious as to why a prestigious company, like USA Book News, would declare my work,
the NUMBER 1 SOCIAL CHANGE BOOK of 2005!
This is your opportunity to get a great book for only $7.
NOW is the time to buy 2 of these books,
and give one to someone you know who needs these resources.
You will be helping me get the next book together too, if you do this.
You also will be helping the world get more resources to heal with.
7 dollars is almost 2 gallons of gasoline.
Take a chance, do not drive 2 gallons further this week,
buy my book instead.
Then, while not driving,
sit in nature and read it.
Empower yourself during the few hours it takes to read it,
instead of polluting the environment driving somewhere else.
Do it now please. Do not wait another moment. Do it right now for the sake of all Life on Earth--it really is that potent and that important of a book! You owe it to yourself to get FREE of the chains. You deserve happiness. You can stop all victimizing in its tracks with these techniques. Our planet needs you to read this book!

"NOTHING IS EXTERNAL TO THE SELF"
This is a picture of Ramana I put into a special collage. I call it "Between Two Worlds" but I use my favorite quote from him with it to describe the KEY to EVERYTHING!
It really is this simple, I'm not telling you anything you do not know, but now more than ever we need to pay attention to this wisdom from Ramana.
Personally speaking, I believe the link below is an EMPOWERING resource that helps us to manifest the truth Ramana speaks of when he said, "Nothing is external to the Self."
Mark Joyner has made more money online than you or I even dream of. His simple--but essential--Simpleology technique is a prerequisite for success in anyone's life. Mark presents it better than anyone I ever came in contact with.
In fact, I have never seen such an amazingly powerful resource for free, anywhere! Mark's Simpleology course is essential for any practical application of integrity to our life.
Without defining our goals and understanding the 5 laws of simpleology and how they apply to manifesting and making the best use of our time, energy, money—we will never make it happen—we will never be successful without knowing the goal of "our" own personal success.
