CANNED IDEAS
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Canned religious rhetoric, corporate advertising and government propaganda are all manufactured and distributed by the “vested interests” who want you to stop looking and thinking for yourself. Be careful about the ideas you buy: canned goods are always over-cooked, sterile and devoid of nutritional value.
I’M 18 IN MY MIND

I live in a “55 and older community” of homeowners. There are about 11,000 people living in this upper-middle class American “retirement resort”. The average age of the residents is about 72 years old. When I attend events and activities here I often think to myself, “Gosh, there sure a lot of old people here!” Then, I go home and look in the mirror….. It is then that I discover that I am one of the “old people”.
However, because I AM old, and because I am surrounded by other “old people”, I realize that “old people” do not think of themselves as “old”. In our minds, we see ourselves in our mind at a time when our bodies were physically fit, sexually attractive and productive! Nevertheless, even though I am only “18 years old in my mind”, the mirror reminds me that my body is more than 70 year old, and counting…..
These are the moments when I must remind myself that I am NOT the body I inhabit at this moment in the Eternal Now. I know — deep inside myself — have lived a thousand, thousand lives in bodies uncountable, on planets in galaxies unspeakable. When I remember “Who” I REALLY Am, the “man in the mirror” doesn’t seem quite as “real” as the people who live all around me seem to think. I know that I am an Immortal Spiritual Being. If your body is still young, sexually attractive and physically fit, you may want to start remembering that you are NOT the body. When your body gets “old” it will help you to remember that you are immortal, and eternally “18 in my mind”.

HIGHWAY TO HELL
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Recently, a 52-year old trades person (a chimney builder) living in Bavaria, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. Ironically, only a few weeks before he died he told his friends that when he died he wanted them to play the song “Highway To Hell” at his funeral ceremony. Bavaria, like many unfortunate areas of the planet, is heavily controlled by the Catholic Church. So, the priest who presided over the funeral ceremony decided that the wishes of the deceased should be ignored. So, the song the Bavarian man wanted his friends and family to hear, as a tribute to his Life and Spirit, was not played. Rather, “proper religious songs” were played according to the dictates of the church.
I am duty-b0und to post the song on my Blog in honor of this man. Each person deserves a chance to to live their OWN life, to think their own thoughts and die their own death. I also want to say — on behalf of a disembodied spirit of the deceased — “fuck you!” to all priests — the self-appointed prison guards of the Spiritual Beings living in the Virtual Hell we call Earth. As an Immortal Spiritual Being I am confident that this disembodied spirit will complete his personal journey on the “Highway to Hell”, when he is reincarnated in a new baby body, and starts driving again on the “Highway to Hell” that we all Earth. Let the celebration is His Life begin! May he Rest In Peace…..
LYRICS:
Living easy, loving free, season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be, taking everything in my stride
Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing that I’d rather do
Going down, party time, my friends are gonna be there too
I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit, nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it, nobody’s gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, paying my dues, playing in a rocking band
Hey Mumma, look at me, I’m on my way to the promised land
I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell
Don’t stop me
I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell
And I’m going down, all the way
I’m on the highway to hell!
