Welcome to the American Revolution II

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

"We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method..." and warned about what he saw as unjustified government spending proposals and continued with a warning that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex... The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist... Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."Dwight D. Eisenhower

Hawking Thinks Time Travel Could Happen

Time Travel is Possible According to Stephen Hawking - What Would You Do?

Physicist Stephen Hawking says that time travel is certainly possible for humans. Almost everybody is interested in figuring out how to travel through time, and now it is exciting news to learn that it is actually possible.

How Hawking Thinks Time Travel Could Happen

According to Hawking, in order for time travel to become a reality, engineers have to determine how to warp space-time. This is just one of the exciting topics in Hawking’s latest book The Grand Design” that he co-wrote with Leonard Mlodinow.

In addition to exploring time travel, Hawking believes that humans should continue with space exploration. He thinks that while robots are helpful in exploring space, there is nothing that could replace an actual human.

Hawking says that Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity is what makes time travel possible for humans. The theory allows that space-time warp is actually possible, and if it is figured out, an astronaut could leave earth in a rocket and actually return before she departed. It is an amazingly mind stretching idea, but makes a lot of sense.

If time travel is ever figured out, would you be interested in doing it? What would you do if you could travel in time? The video below gives more information about Hawking’s latest ideas.

On the 'Spirit of Aloha'

"Aloha is the power of God The Great Spirit seeking to unite what is separated in the world - the power that unites heart with heart, soul with soul, life with life, culture with culture, race with race, nation with nation, (and man with woman.

Aloha is the power that can reunite when a quarrel has brought separation. Aloha is the power that reunites individuals with themselves when they become separated from the image of God the Great Spirit within. Thus, when a Person or a People live in the spirit of Aloha, they live in the spirit of God the Great Spirit.

Aloha consists of this attitude of heart, above negativism, above legalism. It is the unconditional desire to promote the true good of other people in a friendly spirit, out of a sense of kinship. Aloha seeks to do well, with no conditions attached. We do not do good only to those who do good to us. One of the sweetest things about the love of God the Great Spirit, about Aloha, is that it welcomes the stranger and seeks his and her good. A person, who has the spirit of Aloha, loves even when the love is not returned. In addition, such is the love of God the Great Spirit.

Aloha, does not exploit a people or keep them in ignorance and subservience. Rather, it shares the sorrows and joys of people. It seeks to promote the true good of others.

Today, one of the deepest needs of humankind is the need to feel a sense of kinship, one with another. Truly all humankind belongs together.

From the beginning, all humankind has been called into being, nourished, watched over by the love of God the Great Spirit. The real Golden Rule is Aloha. This is the way of life we shall affirm.

Let us affirm forever what we really are - for Aloha is the spirit of God the Great Spirit at work in you and in me and in the world, uniting what is separated, overcoming darkness and death, bringing new light and life to all who sit in the darkness of fear, guiding the feet of humankind into the way of peace.
