		<title>Comment on The Ultimate Question? by phil</title>

		<description>This is a response I wrote a few minutes ago to something else and I think it goes well here.  The ego being the part of us who loves material wealth and being the BMOC.

To remove pain-bodies and disempower the EGO, AWARENESS is the first step.  By observing yourself as you respond to outside stimulation, you can put the EGO in it&#039;s proper place to be used as an intuitive tool, or temporary motivator.  Our minds are our tools, but our being is who we are.

Think of it like this.  Mind is what organizes humanity&#039;s actions on this planet.  Being organizes a trillion cells in each human, in addition to the sky, the wind, the molecules in rocks, the ocean, every cell in every fish, the moon, the rotations of the planets, the suns, each of the trillions of suns, each of the trillions and trillions of planets circling the trillions of suns and the trillions of life forms on each of those planets.

Our beingness is much much more powerful, infinitely so, than our minds.  But the ego puts the mind on a pedestal, because it is what allows the EGO to BE.  Once we focus our attention on the mind&#039;s games, we can be free from it at last and simply BE.

The only reason I am telling you any of this is so I can understand it myself.</description>

		<description>Right on!  When money is so important, then money is in short supply, people fret until they rot from the inside because of their negative energy.

We are quickly becoming slaves to an extreme measure.

Families are fragmented.  People are alone with themselves and an ass load of worries.  No money equals no house, no food, no car (which would be good), no insurance, no doctors, no heat, no water, etc...

When there doesn&#039;t seem to be enough, people get mean and desperate.

Don&#039;t be hate&#039;n.</description>

		<description>Hmm....sounds like an interesting project.  I think it would be a great thing to do if only for yourself.  Write your memoirs Jerry - get it all out.  I think you would be very proud of what you have accomplished.  As for affecting other people, yes that is a concern.  Though we may want to share our life&#039;s stories, to implicate others is not something to take lightly.  Maybe talk to other writers, there might be a way to do it without hurting someone.  The pro&#039;s would know.  I think writing would be a great way to get it out into the universe.  Who knows, maybe loosen some of the hold it has on you - and allow you to celebrate those moments we have forgotten.</description>

		<description>Yes it is...and I will be getting on the RV shopping shortly. I also need to find a true female mate to join me on my adventures. I can&#039;t imagine doing it alone. But, you know my long list of criteria...lol.

The pictures will be forthcoming, and hopefully this evening. There are a lot of them. Most are from the Garden of the Gods, but there are a few from the campsite.

Thanks, TC. You are so awesome. :)</description>

		<description>It sounds like you had a wonderful trip J, I am so jealous.  Camping can be an absolute blast, a time to get in touch with your soul, whatever you want it to be.  Sounds like you and the kids had fun and that&#039;s what counts.  I can&#039;t wait to see some pics.  So... time to go RV shopping now is it??  :)</description>

		<description>It is more than a simple abuse of power:  It is tyranny, and by rights should be ended with killing.

Yes, those who would stand between a man and his home, with a gun, keeping him away from it, should be shot down.</description>
