The thoughts of my life
He who has not learned his place in the universe can never live in peace and harmony
with himself. He must always be searching for an answer to the questions: Why was I born?
Why am I living? While to the enlightened, the answer may appear simple, to the uninitiated it
is difficult. For centuries man has been equating age with wisdom.
To me this is a mundane thought, for you see, along my way, I have learned a little
secret—it might be the greatest secret of all times. The energy that flows through every part of
my body is the same energy that flows through every part of the Universe. It is the essence
galaxies come from. It can never destroyed, and it is the God force that is common in all things
everywhere. It is the love, the hate, the joy and the sorrow all men seek to know.
And if we but look inside of ourselves we can find the peace our mother Universe
offers. The shell that holds this force has little if any meaning in the scheme of things. It is less
than a rock, but more than a tree. This force is the driving power behind all things and the body
that holds this force is our individual Universe and unfortunately it is all things to all people.
Our duty in this life is to love one another, as we love ourselves, and we do love
ourselves or we wouldn’t try so hard to retain this life at all cost when it is time to leave the
shell. After all, the force that keeps all things going is the same and it has no meaning when it
comes to individual development.
For you see that which we call life is less than the grains of sand on a beach. To us the
microbe is small. But in the Universal scheme a microbe would have to use equipment
more powerful than a microscope to see us.
He who can learn and grasp this concept will live his days in peace and harmony.

To read beyond this point, one should realize the thesis and/or the theories of this
work may be too revolutionary or too reactionary for some people.
This is the third edition of an early work, a work first produced during the years
1954-1958. The original work was written at a time of great stress, and an even greater
time of learning and mental expansion.
I sometimes feel stress, depression and learning (are awakening tools of the soul,
and are bothers of a kind. We learn when we are to forced to learn, ergo we learn at
times of great stress because we are forced to keep our mental faculties operating to the
fullest capacity.
There are many reasons this work is being revised and rewritten. Partly because I
have grown in both my mental and spiritual processes. I have also learned as a being, I
have little or no importance in the whole scheme of things. Even if I were to become the
most famous man in recorded history, the fact of my existence would have no meaning
on the general outlook of this life, and especially when I might compare or consider my
life to life on a universal plane.
In the previous sequencing of these thoughts, I allowed myself to be mired in an
earthly level of thought. I used the words of those around me, I preached. And such
preaching is the last thing I believe in or will accept for myself.
Also here in these first pages, I will use the terminology of, I, ME MY and the
MINE of our earthly plane, and I do so even though these words are repugnant. I also
use these expressions in the affairs of every day living, but in that they are just word and
do carry a meaning as such. Inside of this text itself, I have no right to interject myself,
for I am nothing. The thoughts and ideas are simple awakenings that have stirred in me
during times of revelations. And I have put them on paper not to satisfy the self, but to
make available to those who follow a record of one who tried to follow the way, what
ever that is supposed to mean.
There is a major problem with setting these records to print: I have said it all
before and now I must say again. This time I say it in words I hope many people who
read it will understand. Again this is my way and I will shed the shackles only long
enough to be viewed by those around me.
When these thoughts were last printed, I spoke in the language of the men, using
words such as God, or man, or temple, or morality. These are words, and nothing more,
and have little if any meaning in the scope of human thought or conditioning for what
might be, or can be.
I am not preaching, for if I were, I would be on a street corner or would be
Page 5
screaming from a pulpit or a dais. But that type of expression is not my way, for I do not
have a charismatic demeanor. My tongue and the words falling ideally from my mouth,
are my favor. I do not seek the glory of adulation and I present these words, not as an
absolute, but as an offering, and idea, a suggestion as an way of possibly adding to
whatever it is you, the reader have brought into the reading of this material. I do not ask
or expect anything more than a fair reading of the my humble words.

HOMO SUM
I am a man
and this is my way
Homo Sum is Latin. In definition: homo means man, sum means I am. Therefore
freely translated it carries the interpretation: I am a Man! And it is unfortunate no
language in use on this earth, now or in the past, has the ability to define what that
phrase means. To be purposely ambiguous, a man is a man, but a man is not a man. A
man is an animal, but a man is not an animal. Man is a God, but man is not a God. There
is no God, therefore there can be no man.
A term will be used occasionally throughout this text to describe the creature
called man. The term is Anti. Anti in the respect that such a creature must earn its right
to sit in the company of universal consciousness. Anti meaning that in an unenlightened
state the creature called man is diametrically opposite to what the universal ethereal is or
might be.
It is the goal of all men to seek the crossing over, the awaking of the ethereal
consciousness available inside of us all. The transformation is usually, but not always,
performed through what can loose be called a revelation.
When some men obtain these revelations, their lives changes. Still other men
receive a revelation and never know or experience a change. The difference in these
cases of self enlightenment is that few people know they are being given a gift of self
realization.
It is not a zap and you are blessed. Manifestations of that nature exist only in
story books, or religious text used to control the unenlightened. A revelation will
usually be observed, and an specific part of it will make one realize they are one with
themselves. It is not something we can plan, and it usually starts when we least expect it,
and it happens when we become cognizant of the fact we are part of a balanced whole,
and we are a minute segment of pure balance, and are like threads in a giant tapestry or
pieces in an enormous jigsaw puzzle.
So that is what a revelation is or should be. It is an awakening of the power
within, something that allows us, sometime only for a moment, to join with a universal
consciousness, something I call the ethereal. It is the chance for us as individuals to see
beyond ourselves, to live beyond existence. When most men receive a revelations they
pass it off as a dream, a wild thought brought upon by a random conversations, or
something read and temporarily forgotten.
When we read or study what great thinkers have said, we learn, or are given
insights into ourselves and into our times. Plato's real revelation came in
Page 7
the form of mathematics.

He consider "mathematics to be like a portal into the mind of God." So I will take
the liberty to paraphrase Plato’s immortal words, to be awaken with a revelation is to see
into the universal ethereal.
And the final revelation came to me on the day I saw a picture taken with the
Hubble Telescope, it was shown to the world as the birth of a solar system. I knew on
that day, that I had seen the face of the Universal Ethereal. The very next I saw a motion
picture showing the movement of a Aurora Borealis. It danced across the heaven, and
one end touched the earth, and that portion that had remained in the sky above, seemed
to be drawn down, following into the egg called earth.
On that day, I knew, I didn’t have to guess any longer, I didn’t have to wonder, I
knew what the creator of this universe was, I knew my place in that universe, and all of
a sudden I knew what I had seen was the same thing that had been questioned by the
great and learned men of the past centuries.
With this revelation, life suddenly became complete, and I knew that this gift,
and believe me if you had experienced what I did, you too would call it a gift, was the
result of all acceptance of all the revelations I had experienced over a lifetime.
This wasn’t something that was put there for my benefit, it is something that has
been available for all men, for all centuries. The view and the idea that
allowed me to see this, is what we have all been told, we have all seen as we
Page 8
have looked towards the heavens at night.

Therefore I say, there isn't a new thought on this earth. Few alive can conjure up
new ways for men to think, and when they do they are called Avatars. We must
remember, everything that can be thought of has been, and if we are fortunate, we can
read some of those words. Unfortunately only the smallest portion of great thinking ever
is produced outside of the realm of its producer. If we are truly sanctified we may be
allowed to ingest one or two of the great words, and it is through our revelations that we
are connected to the great and small minds of the past. If we listen to these universal
connections, we pass beyond what we are and start down a new road into what we may
become. The key is what we might become.
It has been said, from the moment of our birth we emulate the universe and are in
constant change. If this be true, then we will follow a universal plan of what we should
be, we will be striving for the pure balance that penetrates everything in a perfect
existence.
Most people do not or can not follow these manifestations. Repeat, MOST
PEOPLE, are content to allow themselves to be drawn into a stagnation of negative
mental and spiritual growth. And negative growth is, as we should all be aware, the first
step into a world of nothingness. Man can tolerate religion, he can never live with it.
Religion stagnates the mind and the ability to accept what we are and what we might
become. Religious faith is a nothingness of despair, a void, and it contains no points of
reference. With the elements of reference missing, the uniform symbol that is life must
be isolated in a cage of base existence.
Any man wanting to speak of faith neglects to remember; a religious belief
should be, must be, between a anti-ethereal and a God of his own choosing. Not a God
laid down one, two, three thousands ago. There should not be an outside influence or
interference. A religion should not preach, it should enlighten, it should supply enough
food for the mind it is attempting to subjugate. But in accepting this, we must
remember; we have allowed these religious dogma to become the basis for our
existence, and because of the intolerance of these religions preach, the world must suffer
and loose many great minds that could take mankind to the stars and beyond.
Think about it, we have used the religious teachings with good intentions for
more than two thousand years, in some cases much longer. Not one of these reverent
collections of words has directed the anti towards a civilization that can be lived. Instead
the followers of faith are told to dislike and hate anyone who does not believe in the
narrow field of exposure called religion. From the pulpits the criers scream the words
taken from the books of faith. We are taught to chastise and cast out anyone who desires
to live a life style different from those
Page 9
teachings. We, disenfranchise anyone who is of an ethnic character different from

ourselves, The end results of most religious teachings, is a complete lack of respect for
another person, and other mirror likeness of ourselves. And what makes it even worse,
we don’t try. Before we can understand the nothingness of waste and corruption that
permeates our reality, we must realize what spiritual growth really is and what it
represents. We must learn spirituality is not religious in nature. To phrase spirituality by
using the words of man:
Spirituality is an idea in the mind of God, but not God itself.
Misunderstanding of this concept has caused man to create an antireligious
nature. Because of this self imposed temperament man has created for himself a
direction contrary to that of his God. The archaic ideas of an angelic creature, created by
the mind of a sole divine creator, indicates a total lack of imagination and shows an
invalid interruption of the facts. The idea of having been given a gift of prognostication,
or foresight through some divine intercession shows how the anchor of faith around the
necks of the man is in a direct link to barbarism and stupidity.
Unfortunately a limited knowledge and behavior is built into the genes of modern
man. So much so, that now after ten thousand generations he has no choice but to act in
a certain way or believes he has to act according to the dictates of the controlling
religious masses, or at the very least he must believe in a God that may or may not exist.
This is done only because the word God has been added to the lexicon and now must be
used to explain any and all of our shortcomings, failures, disappointments, and joys.
Religion as man knows it, depends on the a certain satisfaction being attached to the
person of a religious nature from an outside source.
Blank words and doctrines are preached by the purveyors of faith, they are
screeched out to offend the ears of the non-believers. They, the preachers, tell the
gullible, and those without the necessary intelligence to think for themselves, that this is
just God's way of performing his miracles. You will notice the word, HIS. This again is
part of the training and conditioning built into the genes of men. He must associate with
his deity or that deity will have little or no meaning for the man. In other words, the man
will live with and use the religious nature of his being only so long as he can associate
with the so called creator of that nature. By absorbing faith in this manner, he makes
religion a personal and a private thing. And so it should be, but only so long as it is
based upon revelations experienced by man himself, and not a doctrine conditioned into
man by others.
For those men who have passed beyond the religious nature and have reached
Page 10
a plateau of spirituality, have experienced humanism, will usually not be able to speak of such
experiences. They will not verbalize their feeling, their thoughts, or those things they know
and see only in their minds eye.
There is nothing more lonely, or more satisfying than the inner realization of the
spiritual self. For you see, this is the way of it. Once the id obtains a balance with the
self and the universal ethereal, it is free to rises above what is here and now. And this is
where the confusion enters. It is impossible for the spiritual self to define the word free
as used in this context. It has a meaning beyond what the lexicons give.
Before this discussion can continue there is another point to ponder: the
connection of one man to another. Physically man joins with every living thing, and is
little more than a beast of the fields. Man is set apart from other living things by his
ability to obtain a revelation, a self awareness of himself and his place in the universal
ethereal.
As a beast of the land, man is required by the very forces controlling life, to
reproduce, and his attachments to the off spring of that reproduction is what keeps the
man from achieving the Cosmod status. Or to put it another way, it is man’s physical
ties to everything around him that keeps him from passing through to the ethereal. It is
the ties to the physical body, and the pleasures of same, that root man deep in the mire
of the earth, and the false doctrines of the so called religions.
The single greatest emotion is the protective sense of a parent for its young. (In
most cases it will be the female for the progeny.) This sense is present in varying
degrees in all living things. Man alone takes this protective shield a step further to
include a life time of feeling for the progeny. This continuing feeling is mental and
present in the animal called man, and it does not prevail in any part of the animal
kingdom. It is a mental apparition, and has little if any meaning to an actual realization.
Again these feelings are rooted in ten thousand generations of indoctrination.
Realizing some will dispute this element causes the creation of the first basic law
of the Homo Sum Universe, and it is penned her for the first time. It will not be
defended in any way, its validity can stand without interpretation. If you have neared the
ethereal state, you know the truth of these words. If you have not, no power of this earth
will change your mind or to comprehend its meaning.
In the ethereal state man can receive the powers of what he loosely calls God.
This is not to say that he become as a God. It is not to say that the ethereal state allows
one to perform as some might think a God should perform.
Page 11
The imaginary being man calls God doesn’t exist. He, she, it, has never existed. God as
such has been little more than a crutch upon which man has based his own short
comings. It is unfortunate that in stupidity or fear, man has misinterpreted what a God is
or should be.
The God of man and the universal ethereal are disproportionate. The God of man
must have an antagonist, animate or inanimate, or there can be no God. There must
always be the anti something to counterbalance. When man determined God wasn't the
one to blame for an act, then he had to create Satan, or the Yin Yang ideology of the
Orientals. In short, in the God belief, nothing happens that hasn’t been sanctioned by
God. And like it or not, this too will include everything both good and bad, everything
you desire and desire not.
Think about those words for a few minutes. In a very lengthy breath man has
claimed a kinship to a deity, and like their relationship to others of their clan, they claim
a kinship through appearance and thought. What appears to be against the thoughts or
appearances of the clan are abominations, and exorcises that entity from their society.
And yet, even though, those so called abominations are created by the design of a God,
man will stand in judgment upon them. At the same time, the question must be asked, is
man living in such
fear that he will make a judgment on the mind and creations of his God? If man really
loves and worships his God, then he would accept everything that, that God would allow
to exist on this earth. Even the evil so often referred to by man, is a creation of his God.
Because without his God that represent good, there could be no evil.
When thinking of these thing, try to remember, it was the ancient thinkers who
said: “everything in religion is superstition, everything that is, except the practice of that
religion.”
Most everything we can learn is absorbed by the time we are fifty. Although
there are those rare cases where the incidents of learning continue to the end of a life.
Those rare individuals collected under this category are sometimes called genius, seers
and sages. They operate on a mental level higher than the rest of the population. Usually
never seeking or obtaining the recognition they deserved. One of the reason for this, a
man of genius learns very quickly to keep his mouth shut, and to withdraw from those of
lesser abilities. If he speaks of what he knows, then the world will ridicule him, will
scoff at him and drive him from their presence.
Physical and mental aging are disproportionate in the life span of genius. The
physical body will decay and deteriorate at a grater rate than the mental processes. At
the same time the mental processes will continue advancing
Page 12
toward a limitless end. It is only when the physical adversely affect the mental that a
break down of the functions occur.
But, why are some selected for the revelations, or the continuing of the mental
and others neglected? The answer is simple. There are two distinct races of men on this
planet. One will achieve and create. The second will procreate. The procreators have
little value in anything except their own base relationships—even if that relationship be
with self. On the other hand the achievers create and advance the civilization. It is only
when the achievers give in to base feelings that they slide back to into an inferior
lifestyle. It is the corruption of living that reduces our chances at life. It is the
procreators that bring forth the polluting acts and ideas.
If an achiever has passed beyond his first revelation, then the influences of a base
relationship or environment will not affect him. He will view them as an amusing pause,
but with little or not interest.
And that is what all life on this planet is about: lifestyle. It is through stupidity of
lifestyle that creates tensions within ourselves and other. Two can live together within a
dual lifestyle only when one of the two ignores the value of the duality and breaks the
pack between them. At that point they both attempt to retrograde back to a former state
or position. This then brings a second important point: One can never go back, never
back to any person, place, thing, or condition. Nothing will every be the same as it was
at that time in the past.
If a neighbor is of a different race, he is then of a different lifestyle, a different
culture. If you do not try to understand that lifestyle or culture, you do not try to
understand the neighbor. If two people live alongside of each other; one keeps the home
in perfect condition, the second lets the property run down below neighborhood
standards. It is obvious that the second has a different lifestyle. It will also be certain
that the lifestyle was created by three things in order. They are, the genes, the cultural
background and the environment.
Our actions and ways are according to the genetic background of our mother’s
and fathers’. If all of our forefathers had been animals swinging from the trees, we too
would swing from the nearby trees. To this genetic pool we must had the cultural
background of our parents and forefathers. This again is simple. If it is the custom of our
lineage to eat only the skin of a toothless bear on Tuesday, then this will be a custom
added to the gene habit and we would become an animal that swings from the trees and
eats the skin of a toothless bear on Tuesday. Finally, the environment in which we live is
filled with little insects that get under our fur and make us do strange things every
Friday night, this would be added to the above and we would be an animal who swings
in the
Page 13
trees, eats the skin of a toothless bear on Tuesday and goes crazy on Friday because of
the little insects that get under our fur.
If we expand this concept, or try to explain it further, we find first and foremost,
lifestyle or cultures operate parallel to values. The values of one man are seldom the
value of others. Values like lifestyle are learned early in an existence. But, value, unlike
lifestyle, can be altered and is usually directly proportional to education. And there are
two distinct types of education.
One is terrestrial, and deals with what must be a basic tool for man to exist in
today’s society on this level and this plane. The second, although learned, can never be
taught. It is the education that comes to us in night dreams, in waking dreams, and in the
hundreds of other ways that ethereal knowledge is transcribed to a persons mind.
Although many of the creatures on the earth dream, man alone is capable of
putting his dream into expressions. In an ordinary dream there is no transmission from a
high thought and therefore the dream is seldom remembered. On the other hand if a
dream is an ethereal transmission, a revelation, it will never be forgotten. It will be so
ingrained into memory it will stay resident forever.
In the recent eons there have been reported cases of men who imagined, or
dreamed, that certain deeds of a destructive nature must be accomplished. No ethereal
transmission will promote or encourage the use of violence, by word or deed against
another living creature. Therefore dreams of destruction are more closely related to
human desire than to ethereal existence.
The third basic law of all existence is: Life is sacred, it should not be
discontinued arbitrarily by others. Only you should have the final decision on this
matter. If a life is to be taken it should be accomplished according to the higher desires
of the individuals involved. No outside influence should be considered. To arbitrarily
take a life that is not given, is to deny the Cosmod, it is to deny any intelligence exists
on this earth. Some will take words to mean that certain procedures should not be
performed because life is sacred. Life is sacred when it is life, and life can be defined as:
A living creature or thing that is capable of sustaining life without any outside source
including nutritional sustenance .
To slow this discourse for a moment: Cosmod is the word simply used to
refer to a Cosmic God. It has nothing to do with Gods as the past generations and has
nothing to do with the Cosmic universe. It is simple a word, nothing more, nothing less.
Man isn’t capable of thinking of, or determining the nature of what the word Cosmod
represents. So therefore the word is nothing more than a reference point for those who
have not yet received a revelation, a way
Page 14
so the reader will know what is being referred to.

Those who have received their revelation and started their transition to the
ethereal have no need of such a word, and as such never use one. If a man passed on to
the state of ethereal, then that which is represented by the word Cosmod, can not be
discussed, even with other ethereals. How can one look into the total face of creation
and describe it in mute utterances created by man—it can be done. There are also vast
numbers of men who after one enlightening session with a transmission or revelation
declare themselves to be blessed with a gift. If what these men receive and experience in
these transmission or revelation are truly what they think they are, then the force of the
ethereal wouldn’t allow them to bastardize the feelings and offer them for sale. The
ethereal revelations are not a scrap of food, it is a nutrient for the mind and the spirit.
One does not speak of the way food and nutrients are handled by the body, so why does
man handle ethereal knowledge and feelings in the same way?
All ethereal knowledge, understanding and feelings are to be given without
reward or adulation’s. The ethereal who uses the revelations selfishly will learn only
when it is to late, that they have created chaos for themselves.
A major problem arises when man confront each others and comes face to face
with ethereals. It is a problem of communication. A person with a vocabulary
understanding of one word understands one word. A person with a vocabulary
understanding of one million words understand one million words. The two can never
communicate. Their lives, their lifestyles are and always will be different. Even the well
educated can not communicate with the those who have experienced revelations, they
speak different languages.
The person with the more powerful selection of words at his fingertips may or
may not have an understanding of those below him on the educational scale. An
understanding of the words alone do no contribute to a feeling for those below him on
the scale of life. Feelings of hatred, disgust and awe are felt by the man with a limited
vocabulary. Hatred because he does not have the ability of a communication with
another man. Disgust because he will feel the other man will be looking down on him,
and awe because on the cultural scale, the other man must seem like a God.
In the primitive days of this earth, the man who could walk through the night
with a burning torch must have seemed like a God to the man who didn’t have the
ability of fire. So it is with our two men: one with the means of communication, the
other without.
Each person owes it to themselves—because in our affairs of every day
Page 15
living, no one else matters—to find out. It doesn’t matter what one finds out, it is a case
of just finding out.
History and science have taught, that for every action or thought, there is an
opposing and equal thought or action. If an man accepts nothing more than one thought
or action, then that man is less than he was when he started. One object of life is to
learn, to be taught. If one is going to accept only the single view or action then nothing
can be learned. The Cynic school of philosophy of the classical world taught: we should
study life. Not to explain or condemn it, but rather to learn the wisdom of creation.
Beware of the views of special interest. There are those who will present their
arguments in specially disguised packages. They will present bits and pieces of a
discussion, taken out of context. “God gets angry when he sees a man stealing, but after
reflecting on the good the thief has accomplished in his lifetime, God relents and
forgives the thief.”
In the case of the special interests, this sentence will be prepared to read,
“God get angry when he sees a man stealing.” Therefore the special interest will
announce to the world that God does not want anyone to steal.
If the novitiate had taken the time to learn the whole passage, he would have also
seen that the thief has nothing to fear from an all forgiving God. The meaning of the two
thoughts are entirely different. Only education, enlightenment to a thought is the answer.
At the same time, it must be remembered that principle alone is the originating
power. To man the originating power can also be related to the soul and that in effect is
God. The originating power is the force that acts on all things—it is pure vitality,
incorporeal and immortal.
It is also very wise to remember that people can and do change. If the person
doing the changing feels such action must be announced to the world, then the change is
a façade and should be treated accordingly. If the change be true, the person so inclined
will have no need to tell others about it, for it is inside of him, and that is all that will be
important.
Even though we live and must live together in society, mans and ethereals alike,
there is no need for change in lifestyles to conform to the ways of others. The true
believer in himself will be pleased to meet and know the person who is being
themselves, for we can always trust the man is himself and tells the truth!
Page 16
AND A GOD
CREATED THE WORLD?
Most man look on creation as an inspired event brought about by a thing they can claim
a relationship to. Most religions in man's accumulated history is based upon this
concept. It is not surprising to the ethereal therefore, that man chooses to claim to
relationship with a divinity and this assumption is usually based upon something
transmitted to their minds while in an unconscious state, a trance, or in a dream like
state.
In other words most religious tenants are based upon something other than an
actual experience or event. Usually the religious revelation have been given a thorough
screening and censorship by a governing authority during some time in the past. . Or to
phrase it in another way; those who believe do so totally based upon a story retold by
another person, a third party to an event. This assumed collection doesn't stop there. The
miraculous tales once started has to be retold, embellished, retold, and embellished with
restrictions added for the sake of control and retold again.
For example: Saint Paul of the Christian Bible preached all there was to know
about Jesus Christ. Yet, he didn’t know Christ, he never met Christ. He based everything
he knew on stories told to him by others. When he went out into the world feeling it his
duty to tell all men the things he heard around a table or campfire. Sometime it wasn’t
easy, the material was very dry and boring. So like many of the story tellers who roamed
the lands, he made the stories of Jesus more acceptable. He did this by embellishing the
material he had to work with.
Today any experienced speaker will do the same thing. By simply using one’s
vocal cords and tone structure of the voice, a public speaker can be more convincing
than one who would not use the same techniques.
Another thought should be, not one word was ever written down by Jesus Christ
himself. Oh we are told He was quite accomplished in his speech. We are told He could
read, therefore it would only to reasonable to think He could write. Although writing as
a skill, by Jesus was never mentioned.
Therefore, how can we as modern men two millennia after the fact be expected to
accept as a gospel, words that are being changed even as you read this thesis.
Man has always needed a person, a place, something as a crutch upon that he
could prostrate himself before. It is easier to say, thank God, or God be with you, or God
bless you, or God have pity on you, and on, and on. Or on the reverse, God Damn you.
If any word in the lexicons of man has been over used,
it is God!
Page 17
Although, we must remember there are faiths and religions that believe so
strongly about their existence of their divinity, they are forbidden by church law of even
mentioning the God's name. Still others have assigned the God figure to the ranks of
multiple deities. While yet others tell tales of how on judgment day only a handful of
the multitude would see the face of God and the rest would be condemned to damnation.
To understand why the God concept as created by man can’t work, we must look
at how man uses God. It is there in that use that we quickly learn the limits of the mind
of man, limits in both knowledge and understanding. And for the purposes of this
discourse, understanding is the greater of the two.
Recorded history has proven that when a God is unable or unwilling to defend its
followers it must forfeit forever belief in itself. And with but one quick glance at the
history of man on this planet, we find instances where God did not, would not, defend
those who believed in him or it.
At the time of the disintegration of a God, the educated will use a substitute to
bring about a vague monotheism. Such meetings are responsible for the major religions
of today. Regardless of what name they are called by, there have been a collection of
Suto-Messiahs, and because of their position in the minds of the men, their life are
without end. They represent every aspect of human degradation. It is only through the
display of so called debasement that religion can keep a collar hold on those under it's
control.
The God of the eastern persuasions appears to have a greater appeal to the
weaknesses of men. Those deities will offer an acceptance of any abstraction or thought
that man is capable of. In many of the so called human temptation the eastern brothers
have created a God with the conversion of the temptations. In other words, God can
sanction what ever it is man might want to do. Although at the same time, it is
acknowledged that other forces exist that may call the man into accounting for that act.
With the God idea installed in the mind of man, man divides things into
categories. Everything is people, places and things—people and inanimate objects. In
short, man creates a world of entities, entities with their God(s) at the top of the time
line with themselves in the second order of things.
It is for this reasoning--creation of entities--that man fears death. Man is so use to
having everything sorted and categorized into entities, they can not consider or even
conceive the concept that they are becoming a non-entity by sanctioning such acts. They
never think this is what happens to the essential quality of the body at death; it becomes
an non-entity, a universal force, but a non-entity just the same.
Where this life force comes from can only be a speculation to the man. To the
ethereal the speculation can only be answered by a question: where does
Page 18
the universe come from. Again it returns to the thought, the human being called man,
whether ethereal or man has certain limitation, those limitations are created by a need to
know.
The ethereal doesn't have to know the essence of the Cosmod, or the force that
created everything, a creation that continues eternally. This force is what is holding the
sum and substance of the universal fabric together.
Do you want to see the face of creation, look to the universe. Do you want to
know the truth of creation, look to the universe. The force or power that created the
universe isn’t a thing, and it certainly isn’t something for man to discuss or think about.
The Man
The behavior of man is of little importance in the scheme of life. What matters is what
is learned by man or what happens inside to advance the mind and thereby advance the
revelations that will help create or pull the ethereal out of man. It must understood in the
initial concepts of man, he was an ethereal. He had all of his senses intact. When he
walked across the surface of the ground he could sense danger. He could smell the
animal that would become his food. Through smell alone he could tell if another man
might be a friend or foe. He worried less about the affairs of others and concentrated on
his own way of life.
Over the centuries since became what he is at present, he has gone through a
development, a development not an evolution, that has caused him to loose the instincts,
the abilities that made him an ethereal. He has developed to the point that his old senses
are now looked on as new abilities, new goals to strive for.
Unfortunately a highly developed sense of environment and self are not
compatible with today's living. To restore man to such a his former self would require a
great evolutionary leap. Although man is in the process of preparing himself for such a
leap. Whether it comes in a day, a week, or even within a century isn't known, but it is
close at hand. Most men will not be ready to accept what is going happen, for they will
not be sure of what their part in such a jump into the future is going to mean.
It will start with a birth. A pair will produce a progeny that will show what the
future holds. Most men will shun this new abomination. Then a second, a third and a
fourth ethereal will be born with the same abilities and senses as those first men. From
the time of the first birth man will pass beyond themselves to become a new life form.
Page 19
This change will not take place over long periods of time. The transformation
will be quick and sure. Regardless of what theories have been postulated, all
evolutionary changes have been swift, developing out of a need rather than
development. This need is the one consideration those who have put forth theories have
never stopped to take into consideration.
The first creatures of the earth needed food, so they became a hunter. They didn't
develop into hunters. Need forced them to leave their caves and chase and tackle the
first living things that might offer themselves as food. They developed hunting skills,
but the skill came only after the fact. They were hunters first, and skilled, cunning
creatures second.
For one reason or another, not modesty, those first creatures had nothing to be
modest about (They had not yet learned of their own nakedness.), the creatures needed
clothing, so they wrapped themselves in what ever was hand, be it a fig leave or the pelt
of an animal they just killed for food.
The ground became hot or cold, and they tied something, anything to their feet.
Again it was driven by need. It developed into something, but it once again came only
after the need.
Slowly over the centuries, the ethereal became complacent with itself and forgot
the basic instincts of all other species and it forget how to be an ethereal. The abilities of
these instinct are still there planted deep within everyone. They are laying dormant
under layers of self deceit, self denial.
Through the revelation of awakening, the dormant factors, man is once again
aware of himself and his inner being. Somewhere along the way, someone has given the
name of Occult to many of the things the ethereal will experience. Maybe that's the only
name that will truly fit the abilities of, telepathy, premonition of danger, second sight
and thaumaturgy.
If what the ethereal is capable of is ever fully restored there wouldn't a need for
the so called civilized cultures and customs. For centuries man has hurtled itself forward
towards a goal it doesn't know exists. The only thing it is aware of is, at the end of each
of these goals there is power, and this life power is everything.
No matter what position man holds, if they will truly analyze their existence and
their goals, they will find wealth and power are the ultimate in all things in this life.
They are now creatures of development and until there is some sort of change within
themselves nothing can happen in the progress of man.
Men consider themselves to be better than the animals of the earth. But
the animals do not develop Gods that create strife and dissension among the fellow
creatures of the same species. They do not under normal conditions harm members of
their own species except as delegated by higher authority, they do
Page 20
not sacrifice their young for the benefit of the tribe. They do not take advantage of their
own kind to amass objects and things. They are not mean and spiteful for its own sake.
And it should be asked: would the earth be better off without the animals or without the
man?
Death, Life Hereafter
We are born, we live and we die, These are facts that can not be changed. Birth brings
about great joy for all those directly connected to that birth. But that in itself is strange.
A man mates with a women, and that which he injects into the female, feeds a seed that
grows into a parasite on the interior of the female. During the gestation period this
parasite is fed and grows on the blood of the female, and the male, remains as a non-
entity in the whole process. If the ejection of this growth is not completed at a specific
time, a time controlled by the physical condition of the females body, then the growth of
this parasite causes the death of the female. The ejection of the parasite is called by
many names, “birth” being just one of them.
The opposite side of this coin is death, or the cessation of life as we know it.
Once the spark we call life is no longer present in the body, life still exists, but it is not
in a form we recognize as life. Think of a human creature as an incalculable number of
atoms. These atoms continue to work and live as long as some sort of life force exists.
When the life force no longer exists, the atoms transform into another form of matter.
So when a human creature dies, the spark of the life force is ended, and the body
start to slow, and finally reduces itself to another form of matter. In short, when the flesh
of the body is no longer able to be recognized as flesh, death finally takes place. There
are those who wish to hasten this process and call for a cremation of the flesh
immediately after the spark of the life force has been removed.
RELIEF HOUSE HUMANISM

THE FAITH OF
HUMANISM
By definition a religion is” a specific and institutionalized set beliefs and practices
generally agreed upon by a number of persons in the sect. There are further definitions
in regard to a divine creation and power, etc., etc. There is also one which ascribes to the
power that created. the cosmos as the Governor of the Universe.
Page 21
A religious belief should be between a man and his own representation of a God, a God
of his own choosing. There should be no outside influences or interference’s. A religion
should not preach, it should enlighten, it should supply enough food for the minds of it
parishioners so they will arrive at a conclusion within themselves and thereby making
them a better person, an ethereal.
All one has to know about religion is that ten thousand years of proper behavior have
instilled into the genes of man, what is right and what is wrong. No religion or religious
doctrine will teach man what he already knows.
If man is left to ethical conduct, he will choose what is best for him. As long as his
choice came from within, from his devotions with self, then the selection will have been
divinely inspired. “There is no God but God, and Man is God’s only temple.”
G. Robert Gillespie D.D

WELCOME
TO
This is a book of faith. Not religion! This is a book to be used by people who wish to
make living more pleasant, more endurable. It doesn’t promise a thing. At the same
time, there are not a string of “DO NOT’S” used to hold it together and call it a belief.
There is one basic law in the Relief House Humanism, there is no good people,
there are no bad people, there are just people, people who all fit into a category of
enjoying personal preferences. But as long as those preferences do not interfere with the
life of another, or do harm in any way to any living human being, then they can live
within the laws of the Relief House Humanism.
Relief House Humanism has been created specifically for the disenfranchised in
today’s society. It is for those who are no longer interested in a faith so full of a
vengeful creator, that bespeaks that life within that religion is no longer possible. When
the socially unfit come to Relief House Humanism, they will find no compassion, no
pity, no understanding. The reason is simple, they don’t need it these things. In Relief
House Humanism all will be treated as
Page 22
equals in all things.

Also, in this work man is constantly referred to. This work was not and is not
intended to be gender specific. It was created to encompass all of people-kind. There
will be no men, no women in Relief House Humanism. There will only be members and
people.
So, if you like what you are about to read, and are interested in joining with me to
create a faith we can all live with, without fear or retribution of the religious right, then
let me know, for you see this book of faith is going to be written, amended and rewritten
by the people who must live with it on a day to day basis. There is no need for a three
thousand year old prophet to tell us that we can or can not do the thing we feel we must
do.
G. Robert Gillespie D.D.

BE IT KNOWN: by all who read this, the Relief House Humanism, is not a religion,
and therefore does not need a church, a synagogue, a mosque, or a temple. It is not a
religion in the normal sense, and yet, it has been created to transcend all of these
concepts.
It is meant to be a house of learning and exchange of ideas. It is a way of giving
mankind something to think about, something that will allow the individual to know his
place in the scheme of the whole.
These idea’s and concepts are being expressed to those who are willing to listen
and to read. In them one may see a blend of everything that has gone before. It might
well be, for Relief House Humanism feels there is not a new idea in regards to human
thought. There are new way to express old ideas, ways more fitting with modern thought
and concepts.
While the basics of most religions are well intentioned, and contain base truths,
they have some major faults. Over the centuries it has been the inferior minds of the
laity that produced invalid interpretations on the foundations laid by wise men and
avatars in the past. The exponents, the priests, ministers, mullahs and teachers of
religious concepts are not considered herein. Their belief’s have been so ingrained they
are not willing to listen to the possibility of a new concept or a possible modification of
the old ideas. It is this inability of the teachers that has created the stagnation of human
thought so prevalent in the world today.
Some of the archaic ideas were based upon idealizations used to protect because
of cultural or environmental encroachments. All of these antiquated
Page 23
exaggerations must be examined under the light of our present way of life.
We must always be prepared to remove, delete, or otherwise get rid of out-moded
and out-dated materials that tend to clutter our lives and our very existence.
A very wise man named Nostradamus once commented: “The time will come
when the world will no longer need the Church of Rome.” To paraphrase this, we should
ask ourselves, "The time come when we will no longer need any church, or religious
concepts."
Since the dawn of mankind, and it doesn’t matter if that dawning was ten years,
ten thousand years, or ten million, the human psyche has required, no it has demanded, a
thought that would give, or tend to give, continuation of existence. It is this concept of
continuation that has kept religion in our lives.
We will profess belief in almost anything so long as there is a heaven or paradise
waiting at the end of this road we call life.
Every generation of man seems to produce an individual with a Messianic
Complex. The trouble those who suffer from such a condition usually attract the greedy,
the selfish, the perverted. The people who are willing to take the Messiah’s good and
subvert it to their own ends. A good idea, is a good idea, and it works only so long as the
corruptible are restricted from using it.
Man has reached the point in his mental evolutionary advancement where he no
longer has a need for those with the Messianic Complex. He has the powers within
himself to control his own destiny. This force is laying dormant in each of us. It needs
only to be awaken for each human to experience total control over his or her own life.
What man can conceive, man can create or do. Man conceives of a God and man
creates a God—even if it is only in his mind. To the entity of God, he sacrifices
everything. He will even sacrifice the right and values of his neighbor(s) because his ill
conceived idea of God says he must do this thing. The thought never occurs to man, his
idea of God might be flawed.
Remembering that religion and the belief in the God concept is a pseudonym for
continuation of the life force: in the above scenario can we any longer live with or need
the religious God theory.
GOD IS GOD! There is no other, there can be no other, and man is to small and
weak a creature to define what God is, how God appears to us, and what God’s relation
to man is! In as much as man must have a divine power to believe in, it will be
enough to say, GOD IS GOD.” The human mind isn’t capable of contemplating a view
of the divine being. In his mind, man has been egotistical enough to create God in his
own image, and yet in all of man's writing, God created man in his image. The exception
is the Islamic religion which forbids the reproduction of anything that might resemble
the Allah entity.
Page 24
The God men have created is so far beneath the true entity, power, what ever, that
is in reality God, man can never and will never conceive the true nature of God. God is
infinite, and man isn’t capable of contemplating the infinity. But if man has a God, then
man has religion and with religion man will have the basis for continuation of the life
force.
DIMIN
There exists in all space, throughout the full reaches of the universe, a particle
smaller than the smallest particle, here to for known. This particle is the unseen element
that when charged is the reverse of the structure it is contained within, and will cause
that structure to become unstable. This particle I call the DIMIN, as in diminutive.
Gregory . Robert Gillespie
"1952"
To expand on this: to control an element it is necessary to know what that
element consists of. All matter consists of the elementary building blocs and we as a
curious creature must know what those building blocks consist of. The problem is our
own limitations. We do not have the technology or the understanding of the Infinitive to
understand all of the elements of the natural universe. “1995”
MAN AND HIS WAY
History is history. It is of the past and there is it should stay. We of this so called
modern era are approaching a crossroads, at an intersection in time that has only
happened a few times in recorded history. Should we as a so called civilization move
into the twenty first century with new hope and new ideas, or are we going to move
across the millennia
boundary weighted with the tone of stagnant baggage of the past centuries.
A wise man once said, “Man must have faith, but will this dependency be upon
himself, the teaching of others, or that philosophy of some yet to be discovered avatar."
So if this is true, and man must have faith, then our persuasion should be ever
changing. The faith by which you profess to live should transform itself into the time in
which you live. To accept something less is detrimental. To accept an antiquated
philosophy is more abominable than to preach against another faith.
If we have learned nothing over the past five thousand years, we know faith is a
fickle mistress. If she be to demanding, then it isn’t faith, it’s and
Page 25
obsession. If it’s restrictive, then it isn’t faith, it’s despotism. If it demands more of you
than you demand of yourself, then it should be rejected.
There are powers, seen and unseen in this universe that are greater than the power
of one, the powers of man. This power could be God, no one knows. We must also
realize, at this juncture in time, man has moved so far in his advance to the future that
any concept of idea having been advance by someone or something from the past it to
absurd to consider. What happened yesterday can not be applied to tomorrow, and no
one can every go back to start over again. As a matter of fact, no once can every return
to anything, and our forward advance makes such reminiscences inane.
The very first thing we must all agree on during the new millennia is the basic
principles of civilized behavior. We must all recognize the individual right to act, to do,
and to say what they feel they must do. We must agree this freedom is valid only so long
as it does not infringe on or restrict the same right for others. If an individual recognizes
and lives by the conducts laid down by the various organized religions, this is fine, but
that is the individual right as long as the teachings of that organization does not infringe
on the right of other.
Infringing on someone’s right to do what they want can be interpreted. You
infringe on someone’s right when you make them follow the way you think. The
religious zealots of the late twentieth century have somehow misconstrue their own
teachings and feel they must use any and all means at their disposal to force people to do
as they do, to do as they believe. This is infringement, a basic violation of everything the
individual mind stands for. In restricting the rights of faith, of everyone but denying the
right of the individual. Have you every thought, of all the multiple religious scattered
over the entire surface of the
earth. Fortunately only one or two seem compelled to send out missionaries to make
converts. If the faith these missionaries profess to believe in is the true faith, then why
must they conjure to obtain followers? If what they say or preach is the divine power,
then it would be enough to say, God is God.
The human mind isn’t capable of contemplating a view of a divine being. In his
mind, man has been condition to create the idea of what he wants God to look like. He is
vain enough to say God created man in his own likeness. On the contrary, man created
God in his own likeness.
God is God, there is no other, there can be no other, and man is to small and
weak a creature to define what God is. What God looks like, and what God’s relations
hip to man might be. The God man created for himself is far from the truth. The truth
entity/power/what ever that is in reality God, man can never and will never be defined
by man. But if man has a God, then Man has a faith, and faith leads to religion, with
continuation the next logical concept to be conquered.
Page 26
Most people do not know the basic precepts of religion, or if religions promise
the continuation of a life as we know it. The idea of not knowing, we as men will do
anything, and everything within our power to preserve this entity we call self. Not one
religionist is willing to say, yea, and not one wise man will venture an opinion.
Returning to our first precept that man must have faith, when the ancient
religionists first created the idea by which man would be required to live by, they
establish the precept of continuation. These early teachers inscribes the words which
force people to believe in the reincarnation of the soul. That's right reincarnation! The
idea that the essence of the human existence could live again in a better place. To the
modern followers of these early religionists is to called heaven and living in such a place
would be as if it were here and now. The ancient priest of various religions were, by
their own creation, given to the people of the earth to make them, and the key word is
"make", believe in the Gods. By using this method, the rulers of old could control the
people, be it one, or one thousand. To further show the newly educated ancient people
how this worked, the priest would have the remains of their rulers, greatest hunters,
priest mummified for continuation for the next life.
Through the centuries since its inception, man as held fast to these archaic ideas,
burying his dead in a manner which might suggest something exists beyond what we
now have.
It does not matter what is or what isn't, it is still the idea of continuation.
Then there is the concept no one ever speaks of: the cost of operating religion!
To keep the temples and church open and operating, takes money, "CASH"! Therefore,
it is necessary to keep those under the control of the religion to keep the money flowing
into the coffers.
Also, in this the modern age, man has taken this concept of a future life a step
further. With the creation of cryogenics he has found a way of preserving the body or its
parts by freezing them for continuation. Again Relying on the assumed fact man must
have continuation to feel secure in this life. The religions are dead set against this
method of continuation.
An example of the way man has carried ideas forward from a bygone time, ideas
which, although valid, at the time they were created, is Judaic teacher—a prohibition for
the eating of the flesh of pigs and swine. In the early days of history, there was not way
to preserve man’s food. Beef could be dried, chicken could be dried, most foods could
be dried. Pork on the other hand, containing so much fat it was almost impossible to dry,
it would usually go rancid before the drying process could be completed. Lambs
supplied the wool and was the primary animal for sacrifice. So in the very early history,
the people who ate pork in very hot weather, a time when it could not be preserved,
Page 27
became sick, and many died.

In an effort to reduce the heavy death tolls each year, the religions declared pork
to be forbidden. In this way, they could afford the deaths, and keep the money coming
into the houses of worship.
At the same time, those who followed the false Gods, continue to eat the
forbidden mean and they died. In defense of their position the priests pointed and
declared, "This is the reason God has forbidden you to eat the unclean food."
In the case of pork, the religion prohibition was correct, but the reason given—
forbidden by God, was not a valid excuse. The prohibition continue in many areas of the
world, and the reason given for any particular food wasn't always the same, but most
had a religious connection.
This one incident point out what has been said earlier. Examine and use every
one of the precepts from the past so long as it applies to you, your friends, and family.
Apply it here and now. Only through selective acceptance can we know and live with
precepts of the past.
The religionist have been verbal in their denunciation of something being evil.
Goodness and evil exist only in the minds of men who portend them. At the same time,
evil exist only in the mind of a man who has something to fear. He may fear the wrath of
God or a thing of his choosing. He must have an inert fear, a feeling deep inside,
something that makes his mind associates with the multiple of things he calls evil.
Remember what man can conceive man can create or do. Man conceives one God
and man creates his God. To the entity man calls God he sacrifices everything. He will
sacrifice the right and values of his neighbor because his ill conceived idea of God says
he must do it. The thought never occurs to him ¬ his idea of God may be flawed, or at
the very outside, the man's concept should never, never be applied to his neighbor.
RELIGION is one of the most dangerous words in the lexicon of man. The man
who has religion is the most dangerous man to confront when it comes to the freedoms
of others. Today religion is propped up by false interpretations. And, the trouble with
religion of the past is, they are of the past. At best they confuse because of multiple
interruption of the same concept. Or, at the least, they distract from the messages they
are suppose to bring.
Since the dawn of earliest man, religious tenets have been, and will always be,
the way in which a few control the human destiny of the many. Those in power have
used religion to direct the masses of the world. Hell and damnation are the seeds
powerful men has planted, and frequently use as part of the control cycle.
Don’t disillusion yourself, these off spring of religion are man’s creations,
Page 28
not the creation of God. As a matter of fact such concepts and ideas would be foreign
with the idea of one that is called God.
A man will preach the word of his God. With the preaching comes notoriety, and
the ego of such a man creates a malcontent who uses his pulpit to create more trouble
and notoriety for himself. If created a self regard that becomes dangerous to everyone
who comes into contact with it. The true master of a religion preaches in silence, teaches
by example, and never intrudes on the value of others.
Thought: If the God of the past was an all powerful as the organized religions
would have you believe, wouldn’t it make sense to remove all evil doers, all evil acts
with the wave of a hand? If this God is an all loving God as preached from the Pulpits,
then why doesn’t he love his people enough to create a world of love and understanding.
Question: If the God of the past is God, why did He give man domination over
the animals? If God is all powerful, and all seeing, he should have known man would
have to destroy most of the animals of the world, for his own supremacy and would
continue his domination down to and including his eventual extinction.
But remember the religionists have to use evil to control the masses. They say
God lets evil exist so man can have a choice, and in the choosing man proves his
adoration of God. In the very next breath the Christian religionist preaches if man lives
an evil life from the moment of his birth to the instant of his death, all he has to do is so
say, God Forgive Me, and everything evil he has done in a life time, no matter how
heinous, will be forgiven.
This concept while playing on the minds of the gullible is foreign to human
thoughts. To many of the people who subscribe to these ideas are of a limited scope,
and not capable of rendering an unbiased judgment on such matters. They simply read
their bible, or at the very least, listen to the word on a street corner doom-sayer. The
unfortunate part in these beliefs, what they hear. They do not have a though of their
own.
There are only two sins a man can commit. The first is to treat other men with
inequity, and to hard the shelf that is that body. If you do now have to answer to your
conscious for a though, a deed, an act, then you would not have to answer to a God for
that same though, deed, or act. Unfortunately we strive to place other men in a low
esteem, If in part very nature. We will debase the value of others for our own self
gratification, and profit. When you hurt another man for the sake of your God, you deny
and reject the God concept you profess to believe in.
Faith in the thing that gives civilization the foundation upon which to build a
culture. Without the basic precepts of good which faith usually teaches, life
Page 29
would have no value, no reason for being, and the though of continuation would be non
existent. Simultaneously we must be aware of what is right and what is wrong. A thing
is wrong if it infringes upon the rights and values of another living creature.
There should not, cannot, and will not be a distinction between people during the
new millennia. This will include all eccentricities of the human psyche. There is not a
distinction between persons of various persuasion, ethnic characters, religious beliefs,
sexual orientation. There will be only people.
Normality is a relative issue. What is normal and fully acceptable to one will not
be normal or acceptable to another. In the scheme of human existence, no one has the
right to say his way of life is normal or that another way of life is abnormal. The
abnormality of life is life. In preparing to accept a faith, remember to edit an initial idea
or edicts is to change. It, and to change its meaning. To Translate into another language
or idiom Is to change the meaning. At no time should a person or groups be allowed to
edit or take away from the basic precepts. Its simple. Thou shall not kill has been a
precept of civilization for several millennia.
Today we say, “Thou shall not kill – unless, because of, or instead of. Might not
the original of this edit have been. We shall not kill have been kill you now a man?
Might the original Thou shall not kill have been, kill you not a man? We don’t know.
We declare was and we kill. We sell drugs on the street corner and we kill, We drive our
vehicles recklessly and we kill. Every day, in some way we all kill. So the basic precepts
thou shall not kill, doesn’t worn, and the basic concept as laid down originally no longer
applies, it no longer accepted as a rule by which to live. Therefore we find another way
of telling the people of the world that it is wrong to kill.
But the value of saying Thou shall not kill is based upon our acceptance and
enforcement of the precept. If the thousands of years since man first crawled out of the
swamp, he has not learned, not to kill. Almost every species of the animal community
kills for food, or protection or a natural instinct. Only man kills for the sheer joy of it,
for the sake of it, and will go out of his way to find a new method by which he can kill.
Going back, if man is to accept an outdated precept, then man must learn to
accept and enforce. One cannot exit without the other and each must be total. There can
be no half measures. When one wants to ask for divine inspiration for divine guidance
all they have to do is to look inside of themselves.
Consider the modern science of psychology, or psychiatry, the practitioners of
these sciences teach truth will relieve all mental pain and anguish. Also remember the
old expression, truth shall set you free. One of the most important things we of the new
millennium must learn, to shed from our
Page 30
back, any of the Judeo-Christian beliefs that have brought this far. The beliefs have
been benefited man up to this point in history, but time for the new horizon, time for the
new frontiers of man. If a person is serving the public interest and is convicted of a
mismanagement of trust, that person should be banished from the community group. At
time is the individual group to be placed above that of the community group. But as all
time the individual right will prevail over the individual group.
Every individual has the right of sovereign speech. If the speech is libelous the
injured individual has the right of recourse for any loss. The individual has the right of
exclusive or multiple relationship. Those relationships are to be of the individual own
choosing. No other individual has the right to interfere with or assist in the taking of the
individual life, or condemn an individual for taking their own life. The individual has
the right to amass any and all items so long as the individual obtained the items lawfully
and not at the expense of others. The individual does not have the right to keep what is
obtained by unlawful means.
The cessation of life is just that, the cessation, death. There is no continuation of
the spirit or soul. This life here and now is the only one we should be concerned with.
Each individual has the right to do what so ever they choose as long as it does not
infringe on the individual rights of another human being.
A thought of celestial power interfering with the individual is a foreign concept.
The celestial power that is within you is the only power you will ever have to answer to.
This power is pure power, and universal in association. It is the immortality the old
religionist have taught about for centuries.
All crimes against another shall be judged by the violation. If a person kills, then
a life should be forfeit. If they steal, one hundred times the value of what they steal shall
be paid in reparations. If a battery is committed against another, the perpetrator will be
publicly flogged. If during the commission of a crime, a person is injured to the point
they are no longer able to sustain themselves, then the victim will have to be maintained
by the one who committed the crime. Punishment should and must be in kind. It is the
only thing the human mind in capable of understanding.
The family group is a family group only so long as it functions and acts as a
group.
When any member of a group ceases to function as a member of a group, that
member looses all the benefits of the group. Once a member looses the benefits of the
group it can never be allowed to regain them. Angels and other heavenly apparitions are
the creation of man, and should have no more validity than the existence of the devil,
Satan, or any so called demons. When a
Page 31
someone tries to convert another to their persuasions, they are usually so weak in their
own values of faith, they must see they are surrounded by others who are also suffering
from a weakness of faith. When a person has faith, it is personal, it is inside, and would
never be brought out, except through actions, never, never with words.

NOW
29 October 2006
I have reached this point, seventy plus years have passed me by. How I’ve made it this
far, I am not sure at this point. One question remains: Do I believe in everything I have
written here? I don’t know! I didn’t write it for anyone else, I wrote it myself. I wanted
to keep track of my mind. I wanted to see if I it was advancing to keep up with the year,
or was I starting to regress.
To date, I still have scraps and bits of paper all over the place, and stray files in
the computers. I would like nothing better than to put them in this file, but….and that is
a big but.
Recently I had occasion to speak for some time to some young people—people in
their mid to late twenties. Within days I had a chance to speak privately with a person
who had just reached his mid-term age of fifty. The conversations went well. As a
matter of fact, I seemed to communicate better with the young people than I did with the
older fellow.
The young people seemed receptive to what I was saying. They didn’t join in the
conversation but seemed to absorb everything I was saying. I felt almost like a teacher in
an institution. With the mid-life gentleman, the conversation was just that, a
conversation. There was no pro no con.
Okay, so now I come back to the original question: Do I still believe all that I
have written here. Yes! I believe I do. The one point that has grown in my mind is the
lack of respect for organized religion and the dogmas they teach. The problem is, the
teachings of religion are based upon an editing that took place thousand of years a go.
They are based up the personal feelings and interruption as laid down by individuals,
and not by the religion itself.
Why should I, why should we, any of us be directed or controlled by someone
who is obviously so out of sync with the present life they can barely venture out into the
world of men.
Page 32
This is a complete change of the subject, but something has just come into my
mind, and I thought I had better put it down here. I have a lady friend who has
frequently made a comment: “Gregg, all someone has to do is to sit and listen to you for
one hour, and they will know your entire life.”
I added this because I wanted to show, that my life is an open book, and if I were
even in position to control, as the expounders of faith are, I wouldn’t try to impose my
ideas of the faith, on the faithful. Let each person reach their own conclusion; not only
in faith, but in life as well.
Trans Evolution
In this year, 2006, we are in as a world deeply involved in a Trans Evolution. A Trans
Evolution [TE] is where there is a large influx of races from one settled area into that of
another.
This TE started with the North and South American Continents and has now spread to
the other portions of the world. The areas of the world that have been typically the domain of
the Caucasian races are now being over taken by the black, the brown, and the yellow races.
With this influx of races into the Caucasian race area by the three other predominant
races, there is and will be for many years to come, a slow reduction in the Caucasian race on
this planet. This reduction is being brought about by the mingling of the seeds of race from one
to the other. The Caucasian race is blending with the other races and the reproductive results
will be a new race. This new race I call the Cibyrian. There is no way to know what the results
of this blending of seed will bring forth.
The other problem for the Caucasian is one of racial blending, but one of cultural
blending. At the present time the people of the Muslim areas of the world moving into the
Caucasian as never before. As they come forth, they are trying to force their believes on the
Caucasian People. They are wanting everyone to live by their standards. At the same time, they
want to participate in the Caucasian way of life, the business, and the governments. Yet because
of culture, they are not will to give up on thing. they tell the world they are what they are, and
if you don’t like it, then move, move out of your country, your city, your village. This
movement is fostered primarily by monetary reasons, but the fact they are bringing the religious
values, it will all come back to what I have said in the past: Man must have faith, but he
will never learn to live with religion .

Emotion is a transatory non-endity. Human emotion does not exist. The word existence
signifies that a thing has substance. If the substance is solid it can be
Page 33
changed but it can not be extinguished. Emotions, ie., joy, hate, love, anger, etc. has
limits. One is happy and laughs at a piece of humor. Once the momentary joy is over it
is over. It can never exist again. It has moved beyond the time, place, and circumstances
which all added the elements to the joy.
In that given time and place, no solid entity is left to indicate the joy which had
been experienced. Therefore no emotion really existed.
Emotion as we recognize it has been part of the human nature since the earliest
days of man on the earth, we therefore recognize, it as a real entity, which is and always
will be.
We profess love, but the adoration transmutes to habit, hate or complete
disinterest. If the emotion of love was an entity with substance, it could not change. But
as a transitory it does frequently change to other so called emotions and even to the
other emotion that will change as soon as the original emotion has been transmitted to it.
Therefore a thing that is part of the human make-up, it is the one non-entity of man. If
emotion is to be considered an entity, it is because we choose to call it an emotion,
because we refuse to think that a biological physiological change or response in our
bodily functions is anything more than just that: a movement of nervous or biological
responses.

Untitled #201
In the span of a human life, man lives forever in the time, space, and environment in
which he exists.
A man walks across the street. Ten years from that day, he still exists walking
across the street. We as living or inanimate objects lie and exist every second of every
hour from start to finish of eternity, as he was ten years before.
That which exist at every micro, micro second of universal times, exists for ever.
It some creature in some distant future could look back through a portal of time, he
could still see the same man walking across the same street, on the same moment of the
same day. It’s reality to time and space.

WAR!
It is a word most all civilized people hate to hear. It is a word that allows the base instinct in
each us to be expressed in a pro or con, depending on which side you happen to be a member
of. In an effort to simply what was is, it is nothing more than the given in to the vanity of a
person. Or, simply put, war is the result of a powerful man's vanity. Only an insane man will go
to war, and only a stupid one will follow.
G. R. Gillespie 2003
EXPLANATION
To explain what you have read, and what is written beyond this point: These
are and have been the thoughts of my life. Most of the words have come to as I slept.
When I awoke, I wrote what I could remember, or I wrote down the words the
dreams inspired. As you will see, there are even some in rhyme. These came in my
dreams. Some are just random thoughts printed out as I thought them. They have
been printed up by me and bound, given to friends, associated, and to anyone who
would listen or read. They included here, only because of the reason, this manuscript
represents my life, my feelings, my thoughts. If you like or appreciate them, fine,
that is your business. I do not ask you or anyone to believe in what I have written.
Several of the pieces deal with the subject of death, and represent a time when
I observed my father during the later years of his life.

A Writer’s Requisite
Give me the night,
That frightens so many,
The words will flow,
Attunement is near.
Give me the night
So obscure and defined,
Where creativity knows no fear,
And may be of my own choosing.
Give me the Night,
With greatness at hand,
Little minds are put to rest,
I’ll create till dawn
Give me the night,
To sleep away the day,
Perchance to find,
Perchance, maybe myself
In such a way.

THE FACE OF GOD

I have seen the face of God during my waking day
I am truly thankful in every way.
I have seen the face of God in everything I see,
That’s why I always delight in the sprouting of a tree.
I have seen the face of God in the beauty of a flower,
It can even be seen in an apples that has gone sour.
I have seen the face of God with his master plan,
His greatest works will always be called man.
I have seen the face of God waking day,
and when it’s my time to rest,
I’ll rejoice in the face of God in my funeral fire.
1986
AGING MIND
Why doesn’t the mind age?
The body becomes a rotting decay.
The mind remains yesterday.
The once subtle skin is a shroud,
As the mind works out loud.
The bones become fragile and break,
The minds is always alert and awake.
The stride in intermittent,
While the mind is young as a kitten
Natural functions may loose control
For only the minds is affixed to the soul.
1970
REWARD?
The reward for life is old age,
A time to reflect
A time to know,
The years have passed,
It’s almost time to go.

BIRTH, THE MOMENT OF

A day before sunrise
Is a day before hope
A day before like, a day before death
A time when all life is pain,
When death is without sorrow,
A time before beginning,
A beginning after the end,
When there is no meaning and no reason,
To what went before,
And that which is to follow.
It is the void between
Conception and Birth.
1989
BROTHERHOOD
Learn to love and respect the men of distant lands.
It will not take long to see how much alike you are.
You will both be a produce of a culture varied and strange
The fact remains you two are here
Regardless of the path followed, your sires are the same,
Struggling, always struggling against a thing we can only imagine.
So extend your hand in Brotherhood to the man who is brave, true ,
and good.

DEATH, the moment of

Shroud of time you creep
upon me now,
Like a velvet glove you
caress my been loins,
The sickle of despair has
trod me all
companion this night,
Thy callused heels have
the longer,
The pea green grey fog lays
upon me as a diseased
Breath.
With each belabored gasp,
I exhilarated ebbing, gyrate
The mountains of pain are
The whirlpools of delight
about me.
Where is the seedbox for
the planting,
Where the sod so dam and
wet, Where the……..where…..

Fear Not
Where as we are sure
The sun will rise
The clouds will pass us by.
We know we were born
We know we will die,
Memories are the span of our lives
Our friends will be few
The acquaintances many
Love we will know but once.
So when it is time for us to depart
We will leave all
Without a fainting heart.
Gregory Gillespie
1962
A Coward?
A coward is a man
With the tenderness to run
To be around to fight
Yet another day.
And then the knowledge of physical pain
The fear of it will never wane.
One must always understand it takes
Courage to run
When violence isn’t your way.
There are times we know
We must fight,
But those are by providential decree.
So when you judge or call a name
Keep the thought
Respect can also be seen as cowardice.

I HEARD
THE WIND CALL MY NAME
I heard the wind call my name.
To speak of what was and never was
Again.
Caress my years with gales and puffs.
To speak of a world with feelings
Naught for any and yet for all.
Pass around, pass by, only a few
Shall hear.
But only because we listen not once.
For too long our memories hold, yet
We recall not.
The words and pictures of the inner Eye,
Can only be increased at the moment
We die.
Gregg Gillespie
1976
Know not I,
Know not I how to speak of love
To define a phrase so true,
An infallible collection of verse,
Love is not my bag, a modern would say
Idolatry for a thing unknown,
show a leanness of the soul.
Are other things, are other ways to describe
A dank grey shadowy enigma called
LOVE!

Declaration of Independence
In the priory of the eagle,

In the chamber of the Penn,
a procrustean law did be,
for the Orb Quadrant of we.
A parchment draft the atheist did create,
The conclave had long to debate.
the house of the North,
the house of the South,
wanted to change its form,
before a union was born.
The shadow of the rock retained,
to do else is insane,
the lecher did prod and bridle,
In the end the conclave to control.
ayes and Nays were counted that day,
consent must hold sway.
Thirteen shield wrapped
all save one, and the stone was capped.
The prince pro-tem affixed the pen,
thirteen followed, all mortal men.
The deed was done with its worth,
wood on wood, the ship had its birth.

FOOL
Man you little fool
you drink too much
you dress too much
When the grave is so near at hand
Man you little fool
you smoke too much
you speak too much
when the grave is so near at hand
Man you little fool
you lie too much
you live too little
When the gave is so near at hand.
Man you gigantic fool
you think you have lived
you think you have loved
But you didn’t you know the
grave is now at hand.
1961
LOVE!
Cry my love to know the emotion
I hold for thee
Cry my love to feel the love
I know will be.
Many days will fleet and fly
In the race of time.
But once love is given with a
Genuine heart
It will not leave you once, it
Will never depart
For the love I hold for thee
Will last this eternity
Gregg Gillespie

IT IS FOR SURE
Beyond the beyond,
Beyond this world and the next,
Annus Mirabilis awaits.
Beyond what comes the second or third,
Painful the transition is not.
Pain is in the living,
ephemerality is sure.
There are few that say we’ll come back
A lesser being some day.
Beyond the beyond or posture will tell
If we are destined for heaven or hell.
A belief must be held of a next life,
To give motivation greater than ourselves
Here and now no deity is involved,
It is always a walk taken alone.
We can not conceal ourselves away from sin,
No chicanery on the truth of what has been.
So when its time to extend beyond the beyond
Let there be no hesitation to go.

MARINE BURIAL
Thou great and voluminous sea,

Wrap your body swells over me.
Thru the millennia I have waited,
Like those with a breath abated.
Each score and ten,
They add to our number again.
So on the bottom we wave,
All good ones, true and brave,
Awaiting the promise in pain
When the seas
Will give up its corruption again.
1957
Page 46
Memories
The mind is forever young
It wakes with birth and sleep only
With death.
That between is the memories of life.
As a body becomes a walking decay
The mind rejects to retain,
To look back again and again,
To remember that which was,
As an unencumbered youth of peril,
For only in the memories of what as been
Does life exit.
NATIONAL PRIDE
Heat swells my listless breast,
Mountains arise my throat,
Niagara floods my eyes.
Aye tis but my countries pride.
The piper played, the flag waved,
Unclouded visions build in the mind.
No matter the time, no matter the place,
National pride is never a disgrace.
Gregg Gillespie
1990
Oh My Love
Twill not my love,
My love from beyond
Your visit at once, twice thrice.
Leave me cold
From their very touch
Yet, I know our serenity
Will come, as all lovers do,
When my love, ;my love
I can in being join you.

ODE TO AN OLD MAN
The scene is no longer clear,

The stride is no longer sure,
And I waste my days.
My nights are without end,
In the thoughts are the dreams of Past Glories.
I sleep to little,
Loneliness is unbearable,
All taste is gone,
All senses dulled,
In the thoughts are the dreams of Past Glories
The friends are few,

My life is gone,
and the family forgets.
Dear Lord, I make this pact,

Eighty five and never look back.
The eighty third winter is here,
Open you great and dark receptacle,

Cover and sow, trod and plant.
The end has come and then,
No more thoughts of that which was
The dreams of Past Glories

ODE TO AN OLD WOMAN
I am no longer young
My husband has gone
My children forget,
And I’m left with what was.
A few friends I have for sure,
My only company the tellie
Or the church bingo game,
For I’m left with what was.
My meals are simple
My needs even less,
It seems to be labor to dress
For I’m let only with what was.
Four times a pilgrimage they make
As if to discover I exist
While all I want is to be of use,
For I’m left again and again with
What was.
A burden I want to live to be.
To be abed, someone to tend me.
To know and yet to forget,
To be left not with what was.

Operation Sail
‘‘1976”
I saw 18 ships a wandering,

stretching out for miles,
rambling their way long the bay.
I saw the tall ships a coming
with their tiny chicks,
feathers all luffing their rainbow
to the sky.
The bands were playing the familiar
old refrain.
I saw a hundred vessels sailing,
out of the Hudson realm,
past our gracious lady,
along the Battery too.
I saw all the ships making their
welcome heard,
the princes of the city were waiting there
to greet the special crews,
fireboat were discharging as they
always do, horns were screaming,
sirens were wailing, all to mark
our special day.
I saw more ships a sailing with flags
from many lands.
Names were as this country,
Libertad, Juan Sebastian de Elcano,
Dar Pomorza, Gorch Frock, Danmark,
and the Eagle too.
So what could be a better way to celebrate
the Fourth of July Day.

the plague
Death is my companion this night
it is at my side along the road
across flatlands and over the mountains
into one church villages and thru the towns.
Everywhere I’ve seen the swelled bellies of pain
the screaming afflicts my senses,
the moaning evokes compassion,
and the constant sound of weeping wounds my heart.
The smell of cooking flesh excites and sickens
as the ghouls my eyes see
toting off the fallen carrion
here and there the beasts are eating,
or the dead are stripped of wealth,
the disease has spread as ink on a blotter
at another time in the centuries of man
the sickness will be called black.

QUESTIONS
Can I help, he asked.
No, I said, I like to cut the lawn.
Can I watch, he asked.
I’m almost finished, I answered
Can I help, he asked
No, I said, your to little
To climb a ladder
I’ve just finished washing
The windows, I said.
Can I help, he asked, looking under the car.
No, I said, I’m about ready to go inside.
I’m coming out now, I said.
Where is that kid who comes
Around every day?
I miss the way he would say,
Can I help, can I watch?
That box is so small,
he looks so well, the little blue suit
with the tiny red tie.
Hearing his mother cry off to the side.
I looked down on the powdered face,
halo’d with satin and lace,
not knowing how or why, I heard
myself say.
Please come back and ask your
questions today.

rebirth of LIBERTY
We have all know her countenance,

pea green her crust,
white streaks of the winged things have
Coated her breast.
Spike rays her head have donned,
her hand reaching to light the way.
the rains have wept across her face,
Lacy flakes her only confidant.
She was a star emerging from the sea,
standing rigid, erect as creatures passed,
beneath here gaze.
For ninety years we have seen her grace,
her plea of welcome heard by all
but the blind.
But when the double century mark is reached,
the goddess was born anew,
born anew out of the sea,
candy tuffs of magenta bubbling,
White frenzied glare, orange smoke
emissions, raising like a second skin,
swirling white comets announce the newest of
life, as the shadows of the bronze virgin heralds
her meaning for all to hear tonight.

Ruination
My ruinous and climatic life,

attainment has been denied since my birth.
thou has given a burden in which,
Prejudices are many.
If only the bigots weren’t so loud.
If I didn’t worry of the selfish,
and the fears of themselves to hold.
My God, If I could live to be myself.
A good love, a serenity is all I ask,
to let go and become what I might.
No man is an island they say,
a home on a mountain,
no neighbors to near,
I could live life out, year by year.
‘‘1968’’
A SEASHELL
I picked it up by the sea and put it to my ear.
I could have remained so year after year.
I turned it over in my hand to see the fuzzy bands.
I looked into the spiral gate, sure that such beauty
would never abate.
I ran my thumb across the mother of pearl,
white, ecru, pink, all
vanishing in a swirl.
I though of the millions so fine for ever lost
in the vastness of brine.
I laid the natural jewel back in the water and sand.
It rolled with the surf and vanished from the land.

SNOW
Twas but a cold winter morn around my feet

icicles reflected in the trees,
windows covered with sleet,
the wood to gather, the fire to start,
these memories will always live in my heart.
The white and grey billows of smoke,
rise and clear,
down the lane a wild beastie you can hear,
the warmth inside is sure,
but a few more minutes, hours in the
breath of God, I’ll endure,
for tis a cold echoing sound I’ll hear,
as all about me, the words and songs I do
not fear,
tis man and his ignoble words and deeds,
I abhor.
Just hoping wishing dreaming they
stay away from my door.
A bundle of grey-brown fur
skirts across the snow
to find another nut or berry
in his tale of woe.
Oh, you woodland folk, you
don’t really know, winter is here,
Winter and Snow.

STORM
The storm announced with a hell leashed gale,

we thought it no less than the devils tail.
The boat was thrown, a frenzied cork,
the swells applauded like clapping hands,
the wind twanged thru the mast of rubber bands.
White water pulsated
across the deck
as we continued our northern trek.
We knew not day from night,
as only vast brine was in our sight,
standing at the wheel alone, one was sure of God,
and prayers were for a firm sod.
The engines were slowed, our course
was true, this was all we could do.
As the fifth day passed a ghost ship
we must be, or at least the only one on
this ruthless sea.

The Steps
They are cement set on cement.

And rise out of the sea Piazza di Spagna
To where the holy might be.
There one can trod from the haunts of Keats
To Trinita del Moni,
One hundred and twenty four steps there be.
For unknown reasons since seventeen twenty-five,
The arty have massed, to discuss their craft
And to hawk their wares.
With the adding of the flowers, a bit of beauty is seen
along with pretty boys in skin tight jeans.
Nearby the lowest race the spot we lost great keats,
Now a shrine visited by Great of great,
Calling to pay respects.
So the great of the world will mount these steps
Along with the poor, the common, The vin ordinaries.

Thirty Days
Thirty days have I before, thirty days after,

As those dear pass from range, I’ll see no more.
So I’ll make my influences heard throughout the hall.
Soon I’ll see them no more.

Its almost time to see them no more.
My sight is dark, I know for sure,
I’ll see my love ones no more.

TIME
Our lives are fleeting

We need more time
Our lives are fleeting
There’s one more mountain to climb
We waste the hours of a day
We don’t feel these is time to stay
We waste the hours of a day
We need someone to show the way
Just sit and see the sky
To see the seasons pass by
Just to sit and see the sky
And in the end the joy of a sigh

WORK
Sweat rises to the skin
The eyes blur
Yet I must carry on
Looking around
No cares
The suppressing heat
Overcomes us all
What toil is so important
That no other creatures
Will know

VALUES
What is the value of a man’s soul,
If he has not lived a life of truth
What is the weight of a man’s heart
If he has not cared for others
What is the meaning of life
If it has been a life without life?
Page 58
WHERE WILL I FIND
Long I have waited,

For love to find me.
To end a search,
That can never end.
I hunger with a ravenous sight,
For that which can never be seen
To sense through hearing
That which can never be heard,
O how my body hungers for
The touch so slight, to find love,
To find love this night.
Gregg Gillespie
‘‘1971’’
WITH RESPECT
How does one start to talk of the dead,

To remember the remembering’s
Of that was or would be.
It starts the instant we know they have gone,
Tears do flow, thought do not come,
All life seems to have gone numb.
In a barbaric civilized way we plant
To ease our feelings of guilt
Of that which we did or should have done
The feeling of loss comes later,
After the funeral, when we are alone,
And the hurt surges like and overwhelming sea.
But, if we but think our love one
Isn’t gone, they are not you know,
They will always live again and again
In our thoughts, in our hearts, and in our love.

WOE
On my pallet, I pale and wane,

Knowing, no, hoping tomorrow
And tomorrow will
Come again and again.
Oh trouble boil me not.
Trod against the walls of
Some other dorm.
Push not my back to that
Unknown end.
Yea, why should I worry,
I’ve been here before and will
Be here again.

Since the dawn of human thought ideas, longings
Mankind has made fantastic strides
Toward the future, the Elysian Fields, The Golden Age.
At the Present there is not a rule
Represented on earth, a future can ensure.
For a few years a spark, a kindling,
A possibility man can achieve the limitless creed.
Now archaic chaos is rampart,
Acts which herald regression can be heard
With the woes of death.
Civilization go backward to end in the primal waste.

MY FATHER, MY DAD
Forty-four years is all that it took

Enough memories to have written a book
Always there, but never around
Never a word, never a sound
Forty-four years and never a sound
Never a question asked or found
No hug, no kisses, no manly ways
Never a pat on the back, only come what mays
What ever I want He gave to me
What ever I want Too stupid to see
Sickness laid me in my bed,
She was always there
in his stead He was the joy
of my life, I loved his so
He was the joy Of my life, and I loved him so!

What is Religion?
What is Religion?
Before knowledge religion
contracts.
But what is Religion
Ideas alone do not a religion
make.
Only the act of belief can a man
and faith awake.
Right and wrong, morality
immortality,
a religion do not need.
These are things to minor for a seed.
Religion today is public and
collective,
to be a true faith this idea is defective.
The ideal attunement of belief should be
an act which involves only me.
An act of vision so high, that at the
moment of devotion the world could
pass me by.
A belief so sacred that none
would hear,
none would see, that I am now
a man of God, I’m
Me!

Aphorisms and thoughts
These are the thoughts and ideas of a life time. The collection goes back at
least forty five years. For obvious reason it is not complete. I have included
them with the Homo Sum work only because like it, it is my life and the way I
have lived. I answer to no one except myself, and these are the basic rules I
have always lived by. At the same time, I realize there is a selfishness in me,
and I can see much of that stressed here. Regardless, I have no regrets in my
life time - not one! I only hope you can say the same thing.

we de
9. All sin tends to be addictive and the terminal point of addiction is what is
called damnation.

remain so passive, it is so undemocratic.

ourselves.
26. We must all live an earthly existence. Therefore, each must decide if they
wish to live with the laws of man or to achieve levels of respect for higher

29. Creation of the first living things on earth was an accident of cosmic
radiation acting upon a weak atomic structure.
30. There exists in all the universe a particle of matter, smaller than the
smallest particles of the atom, small than one quarter the size of the smallest
particle known. When this particle - which I call the Dimin - comes into
contact with the moving elements of atomic structure it sets off an
unpredictable movement. (1956)
31. Radiation can be controlled by redirecting Alpha radiation back against
itself. (1956)
32. Does civilization reach a point in its advancing spiral, only to retrograde
back to a primitive state? (1956)

achieved. (1956)

39. In most of the western world, a man fears all emotion except anger or

any of the other emotions that we are blessed with.
40. In the event there is a deity: in the final judgment, if you do not have to

have to answer to a deity for that same act, thought or deed.
41. Prejudices against others show a lack of knowledge, understanding and

female is not dreamer enough to develop her knowledge into wisdom.
60. Formal education does not mean a person has acquired knowledge.

1. Elvis came amongst us. He came from a poor family, and at the time could be
considered a completely nobody. He worked it way through the world, his message
was in the words of his music.
2. Some listened to his words, and them became followers. His words directed
people about another way of life, and how they should live it.
3. His followers became masses of people. Everywhere he went great throngs
followed him, and those that did, understood his great words, his divine message.
Those who did not understand his words, ridiculed him, they taunted him, said bad
things about him.
4. He died while still young in years, and since that early sacrificing of his life for all
people, thousands, millions have flocked to hear his music. Shrines have been built
to his memory, and each say, someone hears his words and believes that God send
him here to show the people the way.
5. Therefore, if you listen to the word of the Divine Elvis, and you truly believe, then
each day you must start with this prayer.
Our divine Elvis, who are now in heaven

Hallowed is they name, now and forever
They kingdom will soon come
And they music will be played for ever and ever
Here on Earth, as it must surely be played in Heaven
Give us this day a tune
And forgive us our transgressions to other music
And lead us not into the temptations of wrap
And deliver us from all other counterfeit music
So that you and your music will reign for ever and ever
Amen Brother
