I am a student of history, religion, exoteric and esoteric, the Humanities in general and a tempered advocate for the ultimate manifestation of peace, justice and the unity of humankind through self-realization and mutual respect, although I am not a pacifist, nor do I believe in peace at any price, which is no peace at all but only delays inevitable conflict. There are times when the world must act. Planetary consciousness is evolving, but there are many retrograde forces that would drag us back down.
I have also written one book, a combination of poetry, photography and essays entitled "Post Katrina Blues", my reflections on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans two years after Katrina struck. Go to the store at http://sanfranciscobaypress.com/ to purchase. And I also have a blog called Plutonian Mac.

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 START SINGING VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA AGAIN SHARE
It's time to start singing this song again. The predator/torture state is dying of its own toxins and self-inflicted stings and hatred, this country and world that we have led in arming to the teeth, a world consumed with violence and sadism, exploitation and fear. Time to return to what we started in the 60s, the transformation of America into a humane and loving civilization for the first time, as opposed to the Orwellian fiasco we have degenerated into.

To paraphrase the Buddha, hatred can never vanquish hatred, only love can conquer hatred, so assuming The Enlightened One remotely knew what he was talking about, how could the so-called "War on Terror" ever be anything but the grotesque and murderous cycle of violence that it has become? But there is another way and it begins by embracing the goal of 9/21, the United Nations International Day of Peace.

America and the West can wallow endlessly in the past tragedy of 9/11, holding on to the most ghoulish negativities conceivable, watered by River Styx black streams of misplaced hatred and vengeance and the endless cycles of spiraling violence this perpetuates, or they can embrace 9/21, a day of love, peace, forgiveness and reconciliation.
