As many of you know, I am a staunch opponent of the illegal war in Iraq in addition to the phony war on terror cum United States citizens. I have spent many hours here and offline debating with keyboard commandos who believe that war is good until you expect them to actually go do the fighting on the front lines and not from the comfort and safety of the chair in front of their computers. No, war for them is fine as long as someone else does the fighting and dying. (For the record, I have ten years military service and I have personally been some of the places in these discussions and have come to the realization that people are people no matter where you go. I also respect the sanctity of human life. I am attacked by those who haven't "been there" or "done that". Go figure.)

But, I digress. From my own understanding of the way the Universe works, I have been going about it the wrong way. Anytime a person is "against" or "anti" something, it gives energy to the very thing that person abhors. The way to operate against it most effectively is to put energy toward the alternative. In this case, Peace.

Therefore, effective immediately, I will no longer participate in any thread that condones the wholesale slaughter of innocents. I will leave that to the keyboard commandos of the Internet. What I will do henceforth is put my time and energy into bringing peace to the world and my articles/comments will reflect that change in my paradigm.

I am working on daily mediations and visualizations, which I will be happy to share with all of you as soon as I develop them.
