To answer the Jewish person that replied on my letter about Israel and wanted to know my religion. I am religious, yes, and very much so, but I have not one established so called religion. I have been called a Gnostic, someone who has God in his very being; and nothing stands between me and God. No dogma, rule, organization,  cult or group. From my earliest days the world has tried to make me believe that the Jewish god is jealous and should be feared, the Christian god is not one but three, the Islam prophet with his twelve wives was the true One and that Krishna should be my guide to the Divine, as well as Buddha whose teachings will lead to enlightenment. I studied all and every way, followed all the ceremonies, kissed the hands of priests, visited the Pope, drunk Jesus blood and ate his body, I saw the Dalai Lama and sung Orthodox Gregorian psalms, all to no avail. Not an inkling of the Divine. Untill my journey was directed inward and I got rid of the endless teachings of the religious conmen and priests and leaders. Only when I made myself empty of the past and arrived at the present, now, did I start to see the light. In the nothingness wherewith the Bible begin, in the emptiness of nothingness, did the Divine enter. By putting away myself God could enter. Call it meditation, or watchfulness, or awareness, call it love.. When I see the trees dance in the wind and the flowers open to shed their perfume, when the children come laughing to dance around me and the birds sing their song, I know that I am part of the universe, part of what you call God. By dismissing old rules of the past and becoming a presently living human being, I experience religiousness. And I recommend every person to look inward to find the center of your being where no other than pure knowledge can judge your self, where God resides in all its pureness and love. Unfortunately, this truth cannot be thought, it can only be experienced. It cannot be learned or received or given. You can only discover yourself by observing yourself and by fading out all lies and untruths, Until the Truth takes over. You was born out of love, it is your very core. Rediscover it it by shedding all learned rules and regulations, peel away layer  after layer of so called knowledge until you find back your inner emptiness, where the original you, made of love, resides. I'll meet you there.

Let me tell you once again, the reasons for  violence, crime, insecurity, lack of respect.

Like a blind man groping in the dark is the person asking about solutions for the violence, the lack of concern, the hate and the pain it causes. Jesus message of love has never been implemented by the churches that have sprouted up around His ideas and teachings. Born out of love and born with love everybody should be loving. But the politicians and priests have destroyed that love from day one. Love makes one a rebel. Rebel against the lies and the hate. Against the possessiveness of the world. Love does not posses. Love is freedom. And freedom does not exist in this world of frontiers, religious laws and capitalistic money hoarding. Frustration is the result of those people who cannot suppress their love any longer. The church wants you to be their member and nobody else’s member. You  belong to this or that church, you are not free, you cannot be love. Love cannot be restricted to one thing only, then it is not love, then it is preference. One must love his country, but can only do so by hating ,or not so strong, disliking other countries. Every nation calls itself best, implementing that others are worse. There is no love in that. Every persons intrinsic nature is love when born. From the beginning this love is curbed, destroyed and corrupted. What of a jealous God that tolerates no other? Is that Love? The religions have created fear, the opposite of love. Only people that are afraid are easy to manipulate. A person of love knows no fear. Love is courageous. The politicians and the priests work hand in hand, you always see them together at official happenings. They do not want loving people, they cannot be manipulated. The natural love that is everybody birthright is hidden, hurt, damaged, but not destroyed completely, it cannot disappear totally. Hence the rebellion, the frustrated violence, the crazy deeds from those who themselves not know why they go crazy. In fact everybody is part of the madness. Except for those few that come like Jesus, with words of love, and whips to chase the moneymakers, and words of comfort for the whores, nobody gives in to the natural love that is the basic source of life. People like Jesus that want to change the hate policy and the wrong of the authorities are killed, deported or otherwise eliminated. Society has no place for those who are filled with love. When love is in a person, why should he go to a church or temple to look for God? When he is dancing, happy, full of gods love, why look for god in books, temples? That is why we have this violence, crime and problems in the world. And here in our own backyard. When more people are involved in planting trees and flowers than in making weapons and war, maybe the world would begin to heal. It won't happen. For those who feel the wrongs, because love is still alive  inside, hold on, you are not alone, a few of us are always around, But to protect ourselves we must operate under the surface, low profile. Because we upset the policies from church and state.

To those who seek (and will find, at some point in time), I recommend: the Masters.  Look for them in the library, on the internet and everywhere, because they are here to help. Call them what you want, do not believe (in) them, but study what they have to say.  And do not stop by One, seek More of Them, All of Them and recognize that there are many. You are not alone.

Here follow the names under which some are known. 

Bob Marley

Jesus

Osho

Neale Donald Walsh

Mahavira

Rudolph Steiner

Gautama the Buddha

Michael Jackson

Gurdief

Erasmus

Eckehardt

The Masters have tried through times memorial to help mankind and the human individual. There are two kind of Masters, those that dwell in the  Radiant Light and sit still to  wait for  seekers to find them and those that also found Enlightenment but go out to teach as many individuals as possible to lift them over and above their present state of ignorance, poverty, suffering and loneliness. Some use songs and music, even jokes and tricks. These Masters or Enlightened Ones, or Buddha’s, or Saviors, or Christ’s, call them Stars, have given methods of learning, solutions, ideas and concepts to alleviate the pain and the mental agony that exists in every human being that has a thinking and awakening mind.  You know in your soul that there is more than what we have here now. There must be more than the killing, the intolerance, the sexual repression, the hunger and poverty. Not one Master alone can satisfy all. But all the Masters together can teach many. Study them, read them, listen to them. Do not follow them but take their advice and ideas and create your own reality with the knowledge they supply. The list of Masters is very much longer than what I put here, and some are more appealing to you than others. Take your pick, you will find more of them while you go along. They will confirm your deepest hidden knowledge and bring it to the surface again. Do not follow them, they do not want dogs, do not obey them, they set no rules.  Recognize your deepest self in their words and let your True Being emerge. Their Word is  the same Truth that  lives deep inside of you but has been buried and covered over by useless information for many years. Throwing out your learned nonsense makes place for the Emptiness or Void that is required for Gods Wisdom to enter. 

Imagine an engine block of  a car, or a plastic housing for a telephone, or a pillar supporting a house, or an ice cube. These things have been made in molds. A mold is an empty space in the shape of the thing wanted. A liquid substance is put in the mold where it takes the shape of the cavity. The liquid substance, be it hot plastic, molten iron, concrete or water solidifies inside the mold which is then opened for the object to emerge. The item could not come into existence without the emptiness of the mold. The same is true for what you call “God’s” Wisdom. This what you call “God”  is Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Creativity, Perfect Compassion and Love, it can only enter you when you create  space for it. As long as you are full of thoughts and ideas of what you call God or Allah or Brahman or Jehovah, It can not enter you. It needs a totally virgin, empty mind. Does not the Bible begin with the words: In the beginning there was NOTHING? That NO-THING is needed for “God”, which I call the Unified Field, or simply the Universe, to begin its Work. The Masters try to let you find that Void, that Emptiness in which “God” can manifest itself. Through you “God” wants to Be. But how can “God” enter you when your mind is full of so called “knowledge” (of religions for instance), which is believed by you, which you cling to as a barnacle to a ship. The space that “God” should occupy is already filled up. You have stashed years of useless information and your mind is churning the same information over and over and you reach no where. If only you could empty your head, let go of all you ever learned, all you believe in, all that you are presently “following”. You could then find the Light and be True and Free and an instrument for God to play.

One does not have to read your columns to get  old fashioned viewpoints on sex. Almost every home has the book that caused so much trouble already. A bit of a pity is that the translations are mostly very outdated and difficult to understand for modern young people, however, read on and find out for yourself.
And I say with the spiritual Master Osho, that freedom brings great responsibility. And I am also trying to make you free, not only from fascist types of structures. I am trying to free you from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, all religions. They are all fascist, because their basic idea is belief. They destroy your reason, they destroy your inquiry, they destroy your intelligence. They give you borrowed, century old rubbish and call it knowledge. You call the BIBLE holy and every day you worship it, with great respect, without knowing that this is the most pornographic book in the whole world. If the supreme Court of America is really fair, the BIBLE should be x-rated. But the same is the situation of other religious scriptures. All are pornography.
I want you to be free from any ideology so that you can be yourself, and you can search and you can go into the unknown. That inquiry into the unknown is such an ecstasy, such a great excitement--it is the only pilgrimage.
Here follows alphabetically the beginning of the list of some of the porno related items from the BIBLE:
Abortion, Hosea 9:11-16, Isaiah 13:18, Numbers 31:17 , Exodus 21:22, Numbers 5:11-21
Adultery, Leviticus 18:20, Leviticus 20:10, IISamuel 11:2-4
Bestiality, Leviticus 18:23 and Leviticus 20:15-16
Breasts, Solomon song, 1:13 and 4:5, 7:3,7
Child abuse, Genesis 22:9-10, IKings 3:24,25 and  6:28,29
Child murder, Leviticus 20:9, Psalm 137:8-9. Dissolution of the family, Divorce, Exhibitionism, Feminism, Flat-chested women, Fornication, French kissing, Gang rape, see Judges 19:24-29. Homosexuality, Human Sacrifice, Immigration, Impotence, Incest, Interracial Marriage, Masturbation, Murder for sex, Necrophilia, Pedophilia, Polygamy, Prostitution, Raunch, Ritual child sexual mutilation, Sexual slavery, Size Queens, and more and more. Here is no place to list it all, the Bible is too full of pornographics, for details go check internet:

 Where truth and love is, crime does not happen

Originally the December parties had nothing to do with Jesus, the Christ. It has an older, more primitive feeling of happiness that stems from the fact that winter is over. On the 21st December, that day is the shortest day of the year on the northern part of our planet Earth. The longest night is passing and the 22nd day of December is a little longer and the light returns. Nobody knows if Jesus was born on the 24th; my Bible, the Christian Community Bible, even tells me that Jesus most probably was born a few years before what we call year 0.  It were the religion makers later that conveniently put the magic personality on the most celebrated time of the year, even if they got it wrong by few weeks . No matter at all, it is the time that the light returns, and that is the true reason for the good feelings that originated in the northern part of our planet long before the Christ was created.

Frustrated, in the southern part of our planet, the nights grow longer and the days shorter. Nothing to celebrate there. It was the northern man who brought the December party to the south, Australia, South America , South Africa... So if your origin is from the south, and you don't feel that inner relief and happiness that is deeply ingrained in the northern soul, do not worry, celebrate anyway, as you are here now. On 17 degrees north over the equator, where we are, we have only two hours difference with the longest day,21 June, when the turn takes place, which should be Christmas  for the southern half of the planet. In Holland and England the difference is as high as 12,13 hours between mid- summer and mid winter day. That is where the change is really felt and it explains why we have a northern tree, the pine tree, cut down as a sacrifice.

In the high north no daylight at all reaches the earth in winter; no wonder Santa Claus gets away from the north Pole, it is permanent night there now. A very happy New Year to you all, that you may have Health ,Love and Good Fortune.

To the readers that do not yet know what Chamba Chada means; I will explain, it means: the little boy. Like the boy in the famous story of the new clothes of the emperor. Once upon a time, three men came to the then reigning emperor and told that they were weavers of a most wonderful and magic cloth. This magic cloth was only visible to those that where legitimate children of their parents. Those born out of wedlock would not be able to see it.

The three spoke with such persuasion and conviction that the emperor decided to want some of that cloth made for him. And so the three weavers, who where in truth conmen, asked and got a room to put their loom in, silk and gold threat, and food and drink. Soon the       sound of the loom was heard outside the room and after a week the emperor send his first minister to go and report for him on the progress of the magick cloth. When the first minister was in the weavers room and did not see any cloth, panic came over his mind. Maybe he was not his fathers son, he thought, as the cloth was only visible to legitimate children. So he didn't admit that he could see nothing and praised the weavers on the beautiful result of their labour. To the emperor he reported good progress and within another week the cloth would be ready. The second minister, send to see  the cloth was ready, could not see it either and afraid to lose his job when admitting that maybe he was born out of wedlock did like the first and pretended to see it when the three conmen showed it and pointed out the beautiful (invisble) patterns. Then the measure was taken of the emperor and his ministers who would be dressed in it to take part in a parade to commemorate independence day. Also the emperor pretended to see; what was he to do when his two main advisers saw it clearly? Admitting not to see it would be impossible. Dressed in invisible clothes the three highest authorities went on horseback through the city. All the citizens lined the streets, and nobody dared to say anything. Except the little boy, who pointed his finger to the naked emperor and screamed: Look him, he has no clothes. That boy was Chamba Chada. And I write what I see, not what others pretend to see. I see Israel trying to murder all Palestinians, I see Irish and Ulster English occupants fight each other, hypocritically calling themselves Catholics and protestants, I see the rich nations angering the poor nations so bad that suicide fighters (now called terrorists) hit back. I see them say nothing religious is the problem, while in churches and mosques they are praying to invisible gods in order to get help to destroy their enemies. I see those calling themselves  Christians throwing bombs and creating misery for thousands of civilians that flee their country. The rich nations that have for many years let the Taliban exercise  terror on their own population without lifting a finger now throw (Christian) bombs on (Islamic) targets. I see 60 countries angry at the USA and I cry of frustration. That centuries of so called civilization has not produced a peaceful coexistence of nations in the world. I cry to see the same primitive behavior between people that can put a man on the moon, do a heart transplant, make a classical concert or built ingenious worldwide electronic information networks. These highly developed nations behave like primitive warmongers and destroy, scare, kill and maim others instead of practicing what they preach.

Wealth, sharing, global development, international cooperation, all empty words and hypocritical speeches. So called Christian nations behave in ancient Jewish fashion: an eye for an eye, etc. I cry for all those that suffer through the misconduct of their leaders.

In February this year, a movie on channel 7 was about the Catholic Church’s power brokers. It was clear for all to see that they who decide who to accept as Holy and who not, are just old egoistic and power sick men. They know nothing of true meditation and they do not know how to let God speak through them. In their power games they judge what is good for the Church and how to stay in power.

 

What happens outside in the community is not their interest and they do everything just to stay in control. They show no evidence of being Enlightened or touched by the Wisdom of God. How these men got their ranks in the hierarchy of the Church is through other men just like them, who hunger for power and to rule over others. Holiness to them is a quality that they can dispense of as they see fit. How ordinary people can believe that those men have any authority over the miraculous powers that some persons posses is the real true miracle.


Is this world only populated by brainless people that follow power hungry old men who do with them as they like? Why does the knowledge to become a Free Man, filled with Gods Wisdom, a Light Unto Yourself , stays hidden to the ordinary western person? Why are religions afraid to teach the Truth about Godliness? Because they are power hungry and want to rule over as big a crowd as possible.


Once God is found, no Church or Religion is needed any more. An Enlightened Person is lost to temple, church, religion, and has become Free, just like God herself. Enlightenment, Godliness, can never be learned from old outdated scriptures. Only from those who were and are Enlightened, like Mahavira, Buddha, Lao Tze, Jesus, Erasmus, Zorba, Bob Marley, Osho, N.D.Walsh, and many more.

For people who cling to any one religion only, and fear or ignore the rest, I say: “Wake Up”, there is more to God than any one religion can know, the combined knowledge of all religions is only a fraction of Gods Truth.


For those who seek Gods love, Wisdom and Compassion, I say: Seek and thou will find.

The Catholic Church reigns with blackmail (confession) and fear (hell) over its followers and keeps them as far from God as possible. Blind Faith, that the Church demands, is for people without observing brains(eyes), to follow the Godless leaders. The scandalous conduct of Catholic Church Potentates who sexually abuse(d) children, proof again of their Godlessness, is presently headlines in the USA.


Not (yet) mentioned is the scandalous financial abuse of (mentally weak, ignorant) adults, by letting them turn over their wealth and property to the Church for a promise of Paradise after death and forgiveness of sins.....

Anyone who has read me, knows that I am against blood spill in all its forms. And that I read the Books of the Dead. The Tibetan I prefer, the Egyptian is too far out for me. It teaches the way to die. To die unprepared must be very uncomfortable. The churches may have a memorial afterwards, called Requiem, but that did not prepare one for dying. The Church likes to scare you with the prospect of hell. The Requiem only helps those that are left behind. To know a way to die is better than not knowing how to die. Especially when all the religions and cultures claim to be best. When shall men understand that everybody is best? We all are best, and because of not sharing the wealth do we get problems. Some too rich, many too poor. That creates jealousy and hate and fear. Not sharing exploiting, grabbing, saving, keeping, it is counter to love, which is giving, sharing, comforting and helpful. The northern world claims to be Christian, but behaves as if the devil himself is in command. Not once does the north even mention sharing, the dealing to find balance, to take away the discomfort that triggered this.  Now 60 countries are more or less unhappy with USA, who has them on the list of terror lovers. Although the old US of A has done its share of terror, or helped leaders that did the deeds, it will not admit that the poverty of the others has anything to do with the richness it enjoys. The reservations with the original  locals, not much different from the camps in Palestine. Now Israel stands model for G.W. Bush, and the madness escalates. I must pray 24 hours now for all those that are going to die. That they may go prepared, knowing for what  reason they must die. To defend the American way of life, kill all poor miserable malcontented activists and hope to stay alive yourself. And claim to revenge the innocent people. I call them ignorant, not innocents. If you through your ignorant innocence not know what is happening in the world, and your government does not tell you that 60 countries are more or less hostile to yours, you may still have to pay the price. As we saw so many did. Nobody saw it coming. Or did they, and let it happen because America needs an

 enemy, and now they have one. After 30 years of war, Afghanistan may be so weak that uncle Sam can take over with its high tech weaponry against outdated arms in the hands of ragged soldiers without uniforms. America very much wants to put oil pipe lines through that most wanted strategic piece of territory. With well armed helicopters against big kites on steel wires. What a tragedy. I say: give every man a car, a fridge, a mobile phone, a TV and a health insurance. All 60 countries inhabitants, even if every American must give back a little of what he has , all those poorer people should be made content, satisfied, so that they will not suicide, but will stay home and watch TV. Nobody is innocent. If you wear name brand shoes, made in a underpaid wage country, you are guilty too. Brand name clothes made by low wage sweatshop workers, do put the wearer in the eyes of the terrorists in the guilty bracket. Call it stupid its the way things work in the tiny heads of the poor. Share the wealth, divert the anger. Make peace, not war.

First I must stress that slavery was no white men's invention and was at those days so widespread, it was all over the world. It has been recorded that the white men came to African coasts to trade. They brought articles that the local people very much wanted, as they did not make them. Mirrors, iron axes, beads, cloth. As it was African practice to war amongst tribes and kill and capture the weaker one, slavery was everywhere. The white traders did not come for slaves, but accepted them as payment, because there was not much other things that they could use. Slavery was encouraged by the local Africa rulers. The Jewish bible reminds us that the Jews were slaves in Egypt, an Africa country. From centuries of sunshine all skins turn dark, so Jesus being sunburnt is no great revelation. Why your fear of the wrong coloring by medieval artists? Serfdom was the word used for European slavery, it was everywhere. To accuse one nation or group of nations, or some people, other than your own of being the culprits is shortsighted to say the least. A man who knows not what goes on in the world, and thinks that his own group of race or color is unique, needs more education. Besides that, it is of no importance whatsoever color Jesus was, it is His teachings that are important, nothing else matters. Mistakes, crimes even, done by our ancestors and those that went before us, against humanity should not be forgotten, so as not to be repeated by us. If you want Jesus to be dark skinned, have it so. If your neighbour wants Him to be white, what do you care?

The USA has a list with countries that harbor, help, assist or otherwise are in league with terrorists. These countries are more or less hostile to the USA. The list has 60 names. 60 Countries that do not like US policies, does that not put you to think what is really going on? First: every time in the media, the word "innocents" is used, I would replace it with "ignorants". The US government keeps its citizens ignorant of the rest of the world. The internet opens up the world a little, but sitting in front of  a screen in a comfortable home watching poverty on the other side of the globe does not make One a better person. Or helps that poor sucker in the desert. The word is: SHARING. Only sharing the wealth can alleviate the troubles. The wealth of One is the poverty of Another. It must be understood that the world is a ball of material hurling through apace, with a crust of earth on which human beings are crawling like fleas on the skin of a dog. The big words of "globalization" would make one think that we understand a little better that we are on the globe. On the planet. That we are all together. That we are all humans living on this one planet circling the sun. However, it scares people to change their little surroundings and well-known area for the world in its totality. We have seen scared groups defending national values, waging war at neighbours and different ethnic groups. Nowhere do we see a global understanding of each another. Nowhere do we learn that all human beings are one family. A Negro can mate an oriental, a white can mate a North American Indian, an Indonesian can make a baby with a Russian. We can all intermix and function well. Instead we separate, we claim to be better, we discriminate, we behave like fools in the greater scheme of things. Take a trip in a plane and ascend to 10.000 feet, and you will not believe that the fighting, the hate and the atrocities continue down there on the surface of the earth. You will see the curvature of the planet and understand that it is a ball after all. Why can men not unite, why do leaders keep up the silly primitive destruction, fear, hate and war? How long before hum animals become civilized human beings? Some claim to be Christians and shout revenge, others say

that Muslims are terrorists while Moslem hospitality is second to none. Ignorance over and over again. Blame the governments that do not inform the people of what really goes on. Poverty for some is wealth for others. I am not a communist but I can live with only two pairs of shoes, with only the basics for comfort and carefully not wasting one crumb of bread. I have chosen for modesty after having enjoyed wealth and poverty both in my life. And I  have no enemies. Not one.   Sharing is the key.

Isn't it refreshing to hear the BBC news on the Soualiga transmitter? How the Christian way of thinking does not at all applies to the warring factions. How the war of religions continous unabated? Jews and Arabs do the flow of blood great honour. The warring tribes in Africa contribute their share. Traffic accidents adds to the flow of blood. The weaponmakers do their best to let as much blood flow as possible.

All according to the ancient believe of the South American original inhabitants. They worship the blood that streams through your veins. They see blood as the most holy substance in the universe. They go as far as to find no better sacrifice to their God, but blood. It is found in animals and humans alike. For the prosperity of the community it was believed that the Gods be pleased first and foremost . The best way to please the God(s) is to give it that what gives life. That religion is actually still today very much in fashion. Gun-toting, possessed-persons...  shoot holes in others to make them bleed. Cars hit pedestrians to make more blood flow. Drivers hurt themselves to be drained of their live Juice. Like messengers from an Unknown Need the victims take their bleeding moment of fame and die. The cult of bloodletting should be taken under a microscope. Is the head of our traffic department a member? By ignoring the call for safer roads one would think so. Let it flow. Thats what blood is for. Jesus offers his blood in the form of wine. To confirm to the universal truth also the Catholic church makers used blood to gather a flock. That is neither here nor there, blood flows freely in all worlds. In all religions; bloodbrothers are rare; although we are all bloodbrothers. Separated by national borders, by economic borders, separated by religion and language, we have forgotten that we  all are bloodbrothers. As we are all brothers in water. Because we all need water. Which is my idea to wash away the blood. Throw away all jealousy, all desire, all values, all borders. Be free in water. Keep the blood where it belongs. Inside the system, the body, the being. Look inward and see thy blood washes your insides through and through. From top to toe. Then drink a glass of pure water. And we are One. Still I insist that the bloodshed must stop. That is my opinion. Make roads safer, paint white lines. Enforce the helmet rule, do paint more pedestrian crossings and fine the driver who does not stop for a footman. Ban guns and destroy them whenever you can. Prevent skin punctures at all cost. Your blood is most precious, do not spill it. The miraculous healing of skin after a cut is proof that the creator wants to keep the blood confined. Its up to your consciously observing yourself to find out if you belong to the newer credo of bloodpreservation or to the ancient credo of: 'Let it flow.'

Gurdjieff tried from one corner. Raman Maharishi tried from another corner. He made it a meditation to ask, to inquire, "Who am I?" And don't believe in any answers that the mind can

supply. The mind will say, "What nonsense are you asking? You are this, you are that, you are a man, you are a woman, you are educated or uneducated, rich, poor." The mind will supply answers, but go on asking. Don't accept any answer because all the answers given by the mind are false. They are from the unreal part of you. They come from words, they are coming from scriptures, they are coming from conditioning, they are coming from society, they are coming from others. Go on asking. Let this arrow of "Who am I?" penetrate deeper and deeper. A moment will come when no answer will come. That is the right moment. Now you are nearing the answer. When no answer comes, you are near the answer because mind is becoming silent or, you have gone far away from the mind. When there will be no answer and a vacuum will be created all around you, your question will look absurd. Whom are you questioning? There is no one to answer you. Suddenly even your questioning will stop. With the questioning, the last part of the mind has dissolved because this question was also of the mind. Those answers were of the mind and this question was also of the mind. Both have dissolved so now YOU ARE. Try this. There is every possibility, if you persist, that this technique can give you a glimpse of the real- and the real is ever-living. From Osho.
