THE MAIN PURPOSES of this web are: (1) to draw attention to conditions in the United States that are terribly wrong, (2) to pass on information about health that I have learned the hard way, (3) to share my thoughts about the spiritual life, and (4) I hope to get help with projects to relieve some of the suffering in the world.  In my view of life, or "vision of reality," we have brought all of the trouble on ourselves, and only we can make improvements, as we have made some in the past.  I hold that each of us has a direct and intimate connection with the Divine Source of all knowledge and energy, so we have the means needed for the task.  I am convinced that improvements of any sort, including peace on earth, must begin with the individual.

A SECONDARY PURPOSE is to share some memories that I treasure, both good and bad, in the hope that others may find benefit or pleasure.

"We have met the enemy, and they are us!"  Here are two special topics by journalist Bill Moyers:

VIOLENCE - THE SPORT OF GOD

THE WORLD AS IT IS 

A world-wide effort for peace.  This is very timely and on-going.  Allow yourself at least 10 minutes to watch this.  GAIAFIELD

INVITATION TO HELP  My son and I are engaged in several projects to help others.  This link will take you to a page where you can see what we are trying to do, and make a donation to one or more of those projects.   If you feel motivated to serve and are not yet "loaded up," please consider these efforts.

HEALTH NOTES  The fruit of personal experience and reading by one who has had some serious health problems over the years.  This material is serious and vitally important.  I love my country, but I fear my Government!

LIGHT ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH  Observations of an aspiring disciple - a member of The Theosophical Society.  This page has several references and an invitation to communicate on the subject. 

See what my son, Lloyd is doing in Costa Rica!  Do you know anyone with a stubborn case of anemia? http://www.anemiaanswer.com

MEMORIES  This is a new section - still in development while I find some more photos - that I've been thinking about for a long time but have put off for several reasons.  If I tell about my special moments and experiences, will that be perceived as egotism, or living in the past now that youth has flown?  Maybe so, but I've had some good times, some thrilling times, some scary times, and some that helped me see what Sai Baba called the beauty and grandeur of the Universe.  Maybe it will be worthwhile to share some of these experiences, with photos where available.

For all these pages, I invite the suggestions of surfers who may happen this way.  A contact link is given above.

Oh give me a home
Where the peccaries roam!

Not sure whether I'm coming or going, but I have fun!
