WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

By: Paul Gonyea
 
Separation is the state of consciousness where any one person or group of people feel that they are more important than someone else.  It is the belief that we have to get "ours" first, or there won't be enough.  It is the belief that we can only protect ourselves by building walls, or by killing or imprisoning other people.  At its most basic level, it is the tragic and mistaken belief that God favors one person or one institution over another, and that we have to figure out which side that is. It is this belief, this illusion that we must struggle against each other and against a hostile universe to succeed and to survive, that keeps the human race from realizing the spiritual magnificence which is our birthright.

The opposite of "separation" is not "connection"; it is Oneness, or Unity.  So the ultimate solution to this "disease" is not just to try and get along, even though that would definitely be an improvement on the old, adversarial way of living.  The only real, lasting solution will be when we finally recognize that "I and my brother are One," that I and my sister are the same at the level of Spirit, which is the level we all share as divine beings.

Ancient teachings taught, and current scientific thinking agrees, this entire universe is a single, living, thinking, growing entity. It's the body and the mind of a single consciousness which includes everything that exists.  This Perfect Intelligence has no race, no gender, no nationality, and definitely no religion, yet it includes all these things.  It is infinite variety from the one source of all life.  That's why, because it's ALL GOD, nothing can ever be "against" anything else; the nature of Life is harmony in all things. Which means, if you think about it, that any conflict between ourselves and anyone else is as ridiculous as our stomach fighting with our liver over who is more important.

The reason this is significant for us to understand is because the world we are constantly creating together will always reflect our deepest beliefs about the world and the people in it.  It also reflects our understanding of the true nature of God. We create our experience through our own consciousness, but we must remember that we all share that consciousness; that's the "true nature of God" part.  So the only intelligent solution must be one that allows everyone the freedom to grow. We all want to be free to do our own thing, which is fine.  But let's not forget that we all breathe the same air, we drink the same water, and we benefit from the same peace.  It's time to stop thinking in terms of "us vs. them," and to start seeing the whole world, and everyone in it, as the "I AM" of God.

My guy is just 3 1/2, and keeping me on my toes!

The other day he played with the neighbor boy (age 4) until dusk, when the dad brought him home (3 houses down). i thought he was in the house, but when I hadn't seen him for 20 minutes I asked his 6 year old sister if he was with his dad watching fights. "nope!". I scurried about the house calling his name to no avail. I walked to the neighbor's and then another neighbor with a boy his age. Still no little guy. Okay, so now I am worried!!! I recheck the house, my brother, who was watching fights, helped me check the garage and the vehicles. In a last ditch effort I called my teenager, who had just left to go to his girlfriends house, to see if he had seen which direction the monkey went.

Sweet relief! The rascal, when told he could not go with his brother, hid in his car.

We are all now doing constant rounds better than a security guard with a review coming up!

quien tiene un verdadero amigo tiene un regalo del cielo quizas mucha jente no cree en dios o algunos por los problemas que nos da la vida pero quien tiene verdaderos amigos ay eta dios porque un amigo te apoya en las buenas y las malas un amigo te eligue por tus sentimientos y no por tu fisico gracias por compartir su amistad conmigo quizas no tengamos el suficiente tiempo para conocernos pero seles quiere en chicago tiene aun amigo que los quiere,

siempre hay una solucion para todos'''

diosito me los bendiga y los ayude asuperar las pruebas que senos pressentan

This was once one of my favorite songs

 

There is a new Guns N' Roses tune that's been leaked on the internet. This one is called "Shackler's Revenge."  We'll see. I'm still not 100% this album will ever come out.

FOR THE FELLAS...

 

(Baseball)

...The Padres have moved into lst place, in salary dumps, by dealing 42-year old pitcher Greg Maddux to the Dodgers for two minor leaguers to be named later. San Diego rids itself of 3-million dollars owed the righthander, who was (6-9) with a 3.99-ERA this year, but pitched with no run support. He has 353-career wins. By virtue of dealing away Maddux-Randy Wolfe-and Tony Clarke, the Padres saved themselves nearly 11-million dollars on remaining salaries this year.

...The last place Padres face the lst place Arizona Diamondbacks tonite. The Friars are (48-76), while the D-Backs are (64-60) and tied with the Dodgers for lst place.

...Reports out of Houston are that Padres owner John Moores has begun moving his corporate officers to that Texas city as part of his divorce settlement. Betsy Moores has confirmed she made a 30-million dollar cash-call contribution to the team at mid-season, amidst reports she will take over operation of the team when the divorce is settled.

...The Dodgers open a series with staggering Colorado tonite. Hiroki Kuroda faces Ubaldo Jiminez tonite at Chavez Ravine.

Tampa Bay is (46-17) at Tropicana Field, and have beaten the Angels 5-of-7 games this season. Winds of 45-to-60mph and 7-inches of rain from Tropical storm Fay are still pelting the Suncoast area. Only 15-thousand showed up last nite for the matchup of the 2-best teams in the American League.

...Legendary Red Sox star Carl Yastrezemski was rushed to a Boston hospital today with heart problems. The 18-time All Star is 68.

...The San Diego Chargers, with 7-injured players, say their starters will go 3-quarters in Monday nites game against Seattle, to get ready for opening day. Injuries at left tackle and defensive end, Marcus McNeil and Louis Castillo, and poor play from their inside linebackers and right tackle continue to plague the Bolts.

...Chargers quarterback Norv Turner says the NFL should not go to 18-regular season games; he says injuries would tear apart 53-man rosters, saying the owners are looking at it from a money-standpoint. The coaches fear they won't have enough players.

...Charlotte police are investigating a car jacking, in which the Cadillac SUV and 50-thousand dollars in gold and jewelry was stolen from the vehicle of lst round pick Jeff Otah.

...A brutal nite for the Cleveland Browns; they lose 3-starters with injuries, got bombed by the New York Giants, and insulted by Tony Kornheiser on ESPN, who last nite said they should go back to playing at 1pm on Sunday so no-one would have to see them. At 1-point on Monday nite football they were trailing 30-3.

..ESPN-the Magazine has insulted the USC-UCLA rivalry, calling it the most over-rated game in the country; saying it seldom has any importance in the Pac-10 race; that there is no longtime hate amongst the fans and alums; and that college football in LA is not all that important.

1up.com's own Matt Leone was able to sneak into our offices a few days ago to get his hands on the wiggly goodness that is Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. He's got the word on some new undead faces that you'll be seeing in the game (mostly as they lunge towards your meaty bits), some early thoughts on controls and changes being made to the original 360 game's save system for the Wii crowd. Check out Matt's words and a gameplay video on 1up.

Saturday did a whole lot of nothing literally. We did watch a movie at home but that was about it. On Sunday Jose had to work for a bit but he got home early at like twelve. We decided we wanted to go out and do something. So we got in the car and I said surprises me. So he took us to Universal City Walk in Hollywood. We at lunch at Tommy's and then saw The Mummy Two.

He was diagnosed with a Cancer that couldn't be cured. He gave a new light on life. He wanted to meet all the Sports Teams he could with what short time he had left. He has met the PENS, THE STEELERS THE PIRATES and many more! He died at the age of 18. He had Liver and Lung Cancer. His gift of spreading Joy has now gone World-Wide! He started with Opening his own Foundation. His other wish was to Graduate High School. Which he had just this June. His name was Jon. And, his family is suffering a very great loss. As is the Sports Teams! They are now saddened. As am I. He had a lot of Spirit. And will be remebered for a lot. He has almost changed the world in my mind. And, I do not want any disrespectful things in reply to this Blog! This kid has become a Celeberatie within his own right! And, his Foundation is to go for research for Childhood Cancer.

Than You, Athena

   El pasado día 23 de Junio de 2008 falleció nuestro común amigo D. Francisco Javier García Pérez (fue el primer Secretario General de la Asociación de Amigos del Dominó de la Isla de La Palma). Hasta el pasado mes de Mayo del año en curso, ocupó este cargo ha plena satisfacción (según nos cuentan nuestros amigos palmeros). Una enfermedad le privó de continuar adelante y forzó a una retirada no deseada.

 

   Hemos tardado demasiado tiempo en colgar esta desagradable noticia (que nadie quiere que existan) por causas ajenas a nuestra voluntad. Estabamos intentando conseguir una foto de nuestro difunto común amigo Pancho (pues así era conocido en la isla bonita, es decir San Miguel de La Palma).

 

   Nuestro Común amigo José Antonio González González (actual Secretario General de la Federación Insular de Dominó de la Isla de La Palma) escribió el siguiente texto pocas horas después de conocer el fatal desenlace (recibimos el correo electrónico que nos envió a las 18:17 horas del 23 de Junio de 2008):

 

   "HA MUERTO NUESTRO AMIGO, SECRETARIO Y MEJOR PERSONA DE LA FEDERACIÓN INSULAR DE DOMINÓ DE LA PALMA D. FRANCISCO JAVIER GARCIA PEREZ (PANCHO). TODOS SUS COMPAÑEROS Y AMIGOS DE DOMINO, EXPRESAMOS NUESTRO MAS SINCERO PESAR Y CONDOLENCIA POR SU FALLECIMIENTO  Y UN ABRAZO A TODA SU FAMILIA EN ESTOS DIFICILES MOMENTOS.

 

                LA JUNTA DIRECTIVA DE LA FEDERACION INSULAR DE LA PALMA"

 

   Aunque sea muy tarde, nos sumamos a todas las muestras de dolor y deseamos enviar nuestro más sincero pésame a la familia y amigos de nuestro común amigo Pancho (que en paz descanse).

 

                                        

¡¡¡Decansa en paz, amigo "Pancho"!!!.

 

Sic tibi terra levis.

 

D. Francisco Javier García Pérez (fue conocido como "Pancho").

El Primer beso.

Amado Nervo.

 

 

 

 

Yo ya me despedía.... y palpitante
cerca mi labio de tus labios rojos,

Hasta mañana», susurraste;
yo te miré a los ojos un instante
y tú cerraste sin pensar los ojos
y te di el primer beso: alcé la frente
iluminado por mi dicha cierta.

Salí a la calle alborozadamente
mientras tu te asomabas a la puerta
mirándome encendida y sonriente.

Volví la cara en dulce arrobamiento,
y sin dejarte de mirar siquiera,
salté a un tranvía en raudo movimiento;
y me quedé mirándote un momento
y sonriendo con el alma entera,
y aún más te sonreí...

Y en el tranvía
a un ansioso, sarcástico y curioso,
que nos miró a los dos con ironía,
le dije poniéndome dichoso:
Perdóneme, Señor esta alegría.
