Here comes a little of my standard policy, remedy instead of critics: If the government of the USA really wanted to tackle the drug use of its citizens, it could do several things. But it does not. It goes on to only condemn it, keep it illegal and wage war against it. As the European intruders came into the beautiful continent of north America, and waged war against the original inhabitants, so do the offspring of those European intruders wage war against its own people today. First by  keeping a large group poor, then by allowing only two substances (alcohol and tobacco) to entertain, third by polluting the world more than any other nation on earth. Reasons enough to call the richest, most wasting way of life a sort of war against itself. The changing weather is proof of worldwide pollution of which the USA contributes 25%, although it has only 7% of the worlds population. The war against drugs is a futile exercise, bound to fail, as long  as the demand for those drugs continues. Already more people are in jail in the USA than in any other country on earth, it continues to lock people up for only seeking a little relief from everyday stress and strain. If the highest governing body really wanted to do something sensible about it, it could make a designer drug, that would be so fantastic, so harmless, and so cheap that everybody could enjoy it. Special education about the effects could be put in place, special days could be set aside for the celebration of the mind with that drug. With the use of a better, cheaper and legal substance all other drugs would disappear from the streets at once. To replace all illegal dangerous, impure and expensive substances with one safe, cheap and potent drug is not impossible. But it is not done. The most powerful nation on Earth struggles on like a man in quicksand, by waging war against the multitudes who now try to use, supply and transport the substances that people ask for. Why people ask for it is never asked, what is the reason that these drugs, that makes one step out of reality for a moment are so popular, is not the criterion. That they are asked for is enough. And must be stopped by all means. To take away the reason why the people crave a little stress relief is not even talked about. One wonders if the governing powers are of good will at all. If they are not infected with the self destructive ideas that put man against man, brother against brother and so on. These thoughts go through try brain and I cannot and will not believe that my brain is any different from yours or theirs. Why then do I see  the solution, to make a drug that is better and safer than all others and make it legal and educate about it? This is done in natural communities in South America where the Indians use Yupa (a natural plant substance) once in a while together, to reach an altered state of mind that allows one to know that there is more than everyday feelings and that fuels the mind enough for the rest of the year. They communicate with God when they are in the grip of this substance, they transcend into another dimension and once been there can function for the rest of the year in harmony, love and peace again. Shall the offspring of the European invaders into the Americas ever see the light? Or will they ever combat the reasons that people look for mind blowing experiences?

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.

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.  

My girlfriend got a dildo, 3 speed with batteries, very realistic, from Santa Claus. Unfortunately there was no instruction sheet. Being very religious she says that for a man masturbation is not allowed by the Holy Book that states that a man should not spill his seed on the earth. As a woman has nothing to spill she thinks that it is OK for her to masturbate, can you confirm this? Before she gives it a try, she wants to be sure.

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:

I am still of the meaning that the ruins of the old saltfactory must be restored and made into a tourist attraction. As a stage for local musicians to perform, as a museum of our past and as a way to show the folks of today what happened here long ago.

Here we get this enormous number of foreigners coming to Our place; now, what can we show them?? The site of the old salt crushing factory would be One true and solid historical place, where with pictures and a guided tout; with local music and folkloric dress the tourist could get some insight in the past of Sint Maarten. Small bags of salt could be sold, a hat weave could sell his products while coconut water and rum refreshes the guests on the bar... Are there no

sint maarteners with money to develop the sitt? Are there not a number of very rich sint maarteners who could do this thing for their own island to preserve the culture?

Does the department of culture not have the obligation to preserve and maintain the cultural monuments that we still have? Every day that passes makes the thing sink deeper in the muck and oblivion, and soon they will be gone beyond recovery. It is my strong conviction that the fort at great bay and the saltruins must be made into tourist attractions. Marigot fort is a well visited stop of tourist tours, the Old House French side shows signs of how to do something for the island. If only I had the money, I would make the saltruins a money making place as there is a great potential in tourist related business there.

Hearing the dreadful news on the international radio waves, I realize how very fortunate we On St. Maarten/Martin are. Earthquakes, floodings, wars, murder and rape trials, ethnic and religious violence, the list is endless. The world has made hell for itself. Man against man in all its ugly forms. Why this is so, I cannot understand. How men have let themselves be so sickly indoctrinated with beliefs in superiority and so blinded as to fight other men, of the same race and country often, anyway, of the same planet, the globe. This silly idea of globalization has until now done nothing to bring peace and understanding to the planet. Neighbors are fighting as never before, weapon production is in full gear and the hate between nations goes on. The primitively is everywhere and civilized behavior is almost unheard, of. Efforts to curb violence are not made, to curb the fabrication of weapons, to educate for love and constructive environment protection, to broaden the minds of the young, none of it. Religions continue to shout their superior position over others, nations continue to reinforce borders. Immigration policies separate poor from rich, exploiting only those  it can use. Disgusting hypocrisies within beliefs, nations and industries are rampant. The USA fabricates *tools for human torture, high voltage stun guns and belts, for export to countries it condemns for human rights abuses... It bans tobacco at home, only to export it to third world countries... It does not want to curb its greenhouse gas emissions; instead it wants other countries to halt the development of the same, so it can continue to emit its overload of co2. Wish I was ignorant of these truths and live in blissful innocence Now I am bothered by the fact that I know at my fellow men are abusing their Own. And there is nothing I can do about it.

 

Having been a sailor on yachts for 15 years, I have encountered dolphins in the wild, that is: the open sea, often enough. It is a joy and pleasure to see these creatures play under the bow wave, jump and turn. I wish everybody could see it. Then I saw 2 dolphinaria , one in Holland, Harderwijk and the other on La Palma, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean. Wonderful, amazing and unforgettable. Better than lions in a circus, or the elephants and tigers, monkeys, and what have you... However, I hate to see anybody, any animal in captivity. But well, what people do to each other, for small things like stealing, money embezzling and other materialistic abuses is not very different.  Full jails everywhere. Then the poor cows, the pigs and worst of all the fowl. These innocent animals are worse of than all the others together. Prisoners all their lives, they are killed in their prime, to end up on our plates. I hope mr. Graham Crabtree reads this, and please explains to me what is so different In a dolphin from a playing calf in the meadow, a performing tiger in a circus or a chicken in a box, being force fed to be mechanical killed, plucked and put in a freezer. The mentality expressed in the article:  Save the dolphinsÓ, was more against the person who wants to open a dolphin lagoon to let people enjoy these lovely animals than it was to defend the animals itself. Defend them,  by all means, but please also fight for the closing of all zoos, abolishing of animal slavery in circuses and stop ignoring the cows, chickens and other food-chain animals.

They are all our living friends, and all of them are just as endangered as we human animals are. Otherwise the exercise of writing SAVE THE DOLPHINS articles make no

 impact on any rational, logical thinking human being. None. Short sighted people may love to follow the sentimental, emotional subject of just this one air breathing water creature as they will likewise give their signature to save the gold winged butterfly in Mozambique. SAVE THEM ALL, as God spark of life is in all of them.                  

 

One of the women I sex is married, I found out lately. I asked her how she can justify being with me. She replied that her husband could not satisfy her, but she could satisfy him any and all times. So, she argued, I have the right to get what I need from you and he has to behave himself. If I catch him with another woman I shall divorce him, because he has no reason. Now, as I can satisfy her, through my excellent self control, I asked her if I could have other lovers besides her. Indignantly she said that if she found another woman around by me, she would kill her. Do you think that right? Should I not make as many women happy as possible? Of course they must be single and of legal age, and with the necessary precautions, what we call today: safe sex.
