BEING WITHOUT A BODY
I write or edit books for Spiritual Beings and about Spiritual Beings. Personally, I think there is far too much literature in our culture that glorifies games played in the physical universe. Foremost in importance of those games, we are told by play-writes, poets and other propogandists, are those being played by Beings who inhabit bodies.
However, as Spiritual Beings, we are most certainly not a physical object. We may inhabit and animate the body — endow it with life — from time to time. However, animating an object does not mean that one IS the object. Western culture in particular enforces the false notion that each person IS a body. This activity is a trick and a trap. It is a method of control devised to enslave everyone, including the benefactors of slavery such as priests, politicians, bankers and other self-appointed aristocrats. Thieves and tyrants like these are also Spiritual Beings, though they deny that reality to themselves, as well as those they pretend to ‘lead’.
I trust you will find some story, poem, or insight in my books that will help remind you that you are the spiritual essence that is You. I empathize with you, as we float on this mirage in space called Earth. This is not our home. Although we are not alone, I am sure that You are the Hand that guides You. I encourage you to remain true to yourself. Be your own best friend. We may endure that rest of Eternity alone, unless you and I can find each other in the end — with or without a body.

BEING
A vacuum of emptiness is filled by infinite possibilities.
Illusions. Delusions. Games.
The Decision To Be. A New Beginning. Eternal, Timeless, Now.
Nothing changes. Nothing is the same. There is only Being.

OBSERVE YOUR SELF
An Overview of Krishnamurti’s Life and Work
“Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on 11 May 1895 in Madanapalle, a small town in south India. He and his brother were adopted in their youth by Dr Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society. Dr Besant and others proclaimed that Krishnamurti was to be a world teacher whose coming the Theosophists had predicted. To prepare the world for this coming, a world-wide organization called the Order of the Star in the East was formed and the young Krishnamurti was made its head.
In 1929, however, Krishnamurti renounced the role that he was expected to play, dissolved the Order with its huge following, and returned all the money and property that had been donated for this work. From then, for nearly sixty years until his death on 17 February 1986, he travelled throughout the world talking to large audiences and to individuals about the need for a radical change in mankind.
Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, of the individual’s search for security and happiness, and the need for mankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality.
Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization, sect or country, nor did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought. On the contrary, he maintained that these are the very factors that divide human beings and bring about conflict and war. He reminded his listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are like the rest of humanity and are not different from one another. He asked that we tread lightly on this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment. He communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature. His teachings transcend man-made belief systems, nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism. At the same time, they give new meaning and direction to mankind’s search for truth. His teaching, besides being relevant to the modern age, is timeless and universal.
Krishnamurti spoke not as a guru but as a friend, and his talks and discussions are based not on tradition-based knowledge but on his own insights into the human mind and his vision of the sacred, so he always communicates a sense of freshness and directness although the essence of his message remained unchanged over the years.” Visit the Krishnamurti Official Website at http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/

CONTROL OF THE MENTAL SYSTEM
“Alpha waves in the human brain are between 6 and 8 hertz. The wave frequency of the human cavity resonates between 6 and 8 hertz. All Biological Systems operate in the same frequency range. The electrical resonance of the Earth is between 6 and 8 hertz. Thus, our entire biological system — the brain and the Earth itself — work on the same frequencies. If we can control that resonant system electronically, we can directly control the entire mental system of humankind.”
— Nikola Tesla —
(1856 – 1943)
