This Web Blog was haphazardly produced without using Spell Check one danged time. We like it that way. ESOTERICA: Yeah, the top country for readers here is still the USA. But only about 47% of the people reading this site come from America. More than 50% come from elsewhere. We're still trying to figure that out. Our publisher - oops! forgot this is not a magazine any longer - I expect that as we begin to do new things at places elsewhere - places such as CinemActivist.com - we'll pique your interest. If you read along these margins, you'll find new information appearing just about every week. But you can ignore this. It's just a way of keeping you apprised of what's coming next. The best way of staying on top of things is simply to visit here often and tell your friends (and even your enemies) of a cool Blog to visit.

My larger goal, of course, is to tell you The Truth. Yeah, I know that there are many people who believe that Truth is an antiquated and non-existent concept. I don't happen to be one of them. I believe there is Truth. There are issues I care very much about:
When I was publishing your World's Magazine, my writers and I addressed these issues directly. As a result, I also received e-mails whose basic message was "But I'm just one person. What can I do?" Reading these e-mails, I always felt the same thing, thought the same way: You are missing the Truth. The Truth is that we have all been conditioned to believe that one person is powerless rather than extremely powerful. That conditioning is counter to the evidence of history. That conditioning is counter to the evidence of my own life. Why do you care about that one little person Paris Hilton or that one person George W. Bush more than you care about that one little person - yourself? YOU can change everything. You don't have to start a movement, raise an army or put hundreds of protesters on the street. You can change everything by simpy sending an e-mail to your best friend(s) the way you send them to me. The process of revolution (yes! I said the word) is not that difficult to understand or achieve. Thomas Jefferson knew that, as did John Adams and Voltaire. Revolution begins quietly, when you and I sit down and t alk about how we want our lives and those of our fellow people to get better. Revolution begins when we say to ourselves we have had enough of the current tyranny. I know what I am suggesting is not very dramatic but I also know it is incredibly effective. The steps to social change are quiet and slow and confirmed by history as Gandhi's progress stands for us as an example. Tyrants always lose when we get serious and deliberate. And here's also the Truth: you and I are not powerless. There is much we can do. Welcome aboard. Yes, I also suppose I'm asking you to think like a pirate, for the moment. We are the next government. So I shall next ask you to think like a strategist. I suppose you knew there was some reason I invited you to this Blog. Cheers! RAKeep me in your prayers as I keep you in my own. Thanks for visiting. "Work like you don't need the money, "Love like you've never been hurt, "Dance like no one is watching ... " Talk to you in a day or so. Be well. Leave a Comment
