Why "personal privacy" is an important aspect of your security



"Personal privacy" is probably this most important aspect of "personal security" in today's modern technocratic world. The reasons for this are numerous and vary from individual to individual. 

As the saying goes, “it is better to have privacy and not need it, than to need privacy and not have it!” Obtaining privacy is something you do when everything is going just fine and dandy, and when you believe that your life is running smoothly and problem-free. Personal privacy requires these two elements – technical and non-technical. BOTH are required to at least an appropriate level. One without the other is most often insufficient. 
Technical aspects require knowledge of IT, computer systems, security, cryptography, etc to a satisfactory level.

Non-technical aspects require STREET-SMARTS….i.e., the ability to use “untruths” (not lies per say), and there are times when you will need to mislead other people/organizations in order to obtain a HIGHER level of personal privacy. I have written at length in my own book on just “how to” do this. I have also discussed the issue of “ethics” behind it, for those of you who are believers in Christ.

A few notable authors that have written (albeit) good books on “personal privacy” do not actually have backgrounds actually performing investigative/surveillance functions in government. I do have that experience, and I can distinguish which “privacy tactics” are useful and which ones are “overkill.”

Authors that advocate “overkill” (i.e. EXPENSIVE) privacy tactics will cause you to go broke no doubt. My experience has taught me that the government/private sector is NOT as “all seeing” as you might necessarily think. Sure technology is growing exponentially, but the reality is that people still have to operate the technologies and learn how to use them, and that part of it is behind the power curve from all that I have seen and experienced. Further to that, there are numerous loopholes that remain open, and it is your job to exploit those loopholes to "take back" your privacy.

If you listen to Alex Jones and believe EVERYTHING he says, you might indeed become broke trying to protect yourself from every boogy man that might possibly pop up! The reality is, you do need to be able to protect yourself from the more important threats that do exist, and so your job is to focus on those first and foremost.

Begin today to take steps to take back your privacy. My book helps as do a few others on the market. However, be well aware that most of the notable "privacy books" that I have seen are written by people with no government surveillance background. I am not saying that such books are not good ones with useful information, but I am mentioning this as a caveat.

An Open Message to Premillennialist Zionist Christians

The purpose of this open message is to reach those of you who are already believers in Jesus Christ, and who hold to the premillennialist dispensationalist (Zionist) perspective. Some of you believers reading this do hold to the premise that Jews are the "chosen people" and that God continues to favor this group of people. For more elaboration, see my previous blog entry here. There are some believers out there that hold my reformist views, and yet, are very liberal and accepting of those believers who hold to the Zionist perspective. I am not one of those types. I have no tolerance for lies, and I do all in my power to expose them!

Some might think the topic of Zionism and dispensationalism are trivial issues that should NOT create any argument whatsoever. After all, we are all believers and we should all just get along and agree to disagree, right? Such an attitude is a weak and passive one, and needs to be reexamined whether you are a Christian Zionist or if you are a reformist like myself. 

To all of you Christian Zionists, let us get this first point crystal clear: 

The Jews (i.e., the ones holding to the Talmud and to the Torah) HATE Lord Jesus Christ both then and TODAY!!!

Let this single point sink into your consciousness. It is a critical point. If you are a believer in Christ, the Jews are in TOTAL opposition to your love of Christ. Further to that, they hate you for loving Jesus Christ, and see you as a dumb "goy" (gentile). 

Nathanael Kapner provides this insight regarding the Jews attitude toward Jesus in his blog entry - "Why The Jews Hate Jesus Christ."

""The Jews hate Jesus Christ because they do not like being in a position of “weakness.” For one to come to Jesus Christ he has to admit that he has sinned and in need of a Saviour and therefore must repent and correct his conduct. "

The Jews find this absolutely abhorrent. The Jews do not want a Saviour. They do not believe they have ever sinned. They do not see any need to repent of anything. The Jews simply abhor the idea of getting down on their knees. 

Those amongst them, that is, the rabbis & their admirers, who are looking for a “messiah,” want him to be the conqueror of the nations and put them in charge of the world.""
Now that I have established the fact that you Zionist Christians are NOT in the same boat as the Jews (Thank God!), my best hope is that you will begin to see the folly of "seeing yourself" as such. I will often see essays online (such as World Net Daily), or I will hear Alex Jones make statements that "Jews *and* Christians" are being persecuted here, or they are being persecuted there. For certain, both groups have indeed been persecuted throughout this entire dispensation to one degree or another, but each have been persecuted for reasons that are entirely different! Christians have been persecuted for their faith in Jesus, while Jews have been persecuted for reasons that have no relation to Jesus Christ!

I contend that Jews have been persecuted (since Christ's death on the cross) because of God's curse upon this group of people, who only live for the "kingdom of this world" as Kapner refers to it. Who in their right mind believes that Jews are to be rewarded for such a wicked attitude (and behavior) that is detestable in the eyes of Jesus and of God?

Kapner beautifully articulates the Jew's orientation to all the things of this world in his blog entry - "Why Jews Don’t Move To Zion."


""Yes, the Jews are a paranoid bunch. All of their hopes for the future are not centered on the Kingdom To Come for which Christians pray. No, the Jews have their hearts set on a “kingdom of this world.” ""

And their perpetuity is centered around their little “Jewish princesses” and their “darling little Jewish boys” whom they hope to become doctors, lawyers, and in these modern Jewish times, political advisors.

“If a persecution should break out against us in the future,” the Jew broods over, “where will my children go? Aha! To Zion they shall go! But for now, I like my country clubs, my Chinese Restaurants, and the opportunity to impose my will on all the dumb Goys around me.”"

I urge you the reader to read the rest of Kapner's blog entry at the link above. To those of you who are Zionist Christians, you have your heart set upon the "Kingdom of God" and you are "in this world, not of this world!" HOWEVER, the Jews that you hold as God's "holy cow" have their hearts set upon the "cares of this world!" That is what ENTIRELY separates you from the Jews! Your heart is set in the right place, theirs is set upon the world (the kingdom of Satan). Satan uses Jewry as one of his most powerful vehicles to rob you of your soul, your mind, and your body! Let that point sink in! Now, why would you want to hold such a people in high regard? 

To the Zionist Christians, once you clear your consciousness and association with Jews, you will have a massive weight off of your chest! Once you reform your views, and your eschatology, your focus will be corrected. Indeed, there is sanity beneath the weight of insanity in this world. My book helps, as do a few others out there. 

By the grace of God, may the truth set you FREE!

The other 10% of TRUTH that Alex Jones has been neglecting!

As many "truthers" know, cutting through "the matrix" is indeed tough! The establishment-backed brainwashing has indeed been extremely effective. The attempt to reverse people's programming is daunting task to say the very least.

I will further add that those who are "mainstream truthers" (e.g. diehard Alex Jones followers), are in some cases even harder to reach than those who are merely Zombies passively watching CNN or Fox TV! The reason (I believe) is because the Alex Jones fans tend to have very strong political opinions. The positive aspect of this fact, is that such a type is emotionally driven to take action to effect political change. However, on the negative, such types are often very "religious" about their position, and are very reluctant to consider any other information (even "truthful" information) that might ever be presented to otherwise set them on the right track.

Certainly, Jones has produced educational films like "Endgame" and the "Obama Deception" (refer to his infowars.com website to obtain those films, or you can watch them on youtube for free). My admonition is that all people should watch these films...and then they should move on and seek additional information to broaden their horizons.

What Jones says about the Bilderberg, CFR, and Trilateral Commission is true. These people do run the world, and the rathole goes even deeper than that. An obsessive focus only upon these institutions (alone) and perhaps some of the big names involved with them is a folly. The same can be said for those who focus too much upon their rituals (e.g. Bohemian Grove). Certainly, such activity exposes some of the Satan-worshipping activity and is good information to know. But, an obsessive focus only upon such rituals can distract the "truther" from even bigger and more important issues that are even more critical for understanding. 

Those who have a very strong understanding of what the Bible really says, will have a MUCH greater ability to discern what Jones (and other Zionists) says - that which is God's truth, and that which is not! The caveat, however, is that one must study the Bible not from a "religious" perspective, but from a sincere reformist perspective! That is, one must read the Bible without "religious" or "denominational" blinders! Christian Zionists have violated this principle repeatedly. Unfortunately, I won't go into further detail on this tangent as it is written about at length in my own book. Space prevents a full explanation of what this paragraph truly means, and what it requires. 

A portion of the "missing 10%" that Jones neglects is the issue of "Zionism." For some "truthers," the mere mention of this term raises politically correct red-flags causing many bright minds to automatically shut. All of this has been skillfully engineered into the "mind-control" that we are currently witnessing. The discussion of Zionism and its global effects transcends the common accusation of "religious intolerance" or "racial intolerance." Zionists do run the world, and Jones denies it behind the cloak of political correctness. He even goes so ridiculously far as to claim that "Hollywood is owned by Arabs and not Jews!" And that is just one of many pro-Zionist statements that he has made. See the video clip below to see some of his self-indicting statements:





And while you are at it, why not read Nathanael Kapner's blog entry called "Why Is The ADL Promoting Alex Jones?"

Kapner articulates the issues pretty nicely in his blog entry (above):

"When Jones keeps pounding home the theme about the ALL-powerful Global Elite - but not mentioning that Zionist Jews ARE the great majority of the elite - the message of who is really running the West and America is lost. Zionism would seem to have a truly great, loyal and steadfast friend in Mr. Jones....

Jones has a specific agenda that unquestionably covers for Zionism. Sure, he wears the cloak of the Patriot…he’s a master at it. Remember …the BEST disinformation is at least 90% truth. And Alex ‘Bullhorn’ Jones appears to be the best friend world Zionism has in the often murky milieu of ‘patriot’ radio and the alternative media. Remember…connect the dots…and the true picture eventually congeals in front of one’s eyes…truly a stark and painful image in this case."

The above statement segues to my next point. Listen to Jones and watch some of his films as I alluded to earlier, but do so with your "mental firewall" on a high setting! 

I will not claim that Jones is on the Mossad payroll, and I will not make any claims that I cannot substantiate. In my view, I am less concerned about any type of secret conspiracies that might exist, and more concerned about the statements that he makes which are in some cases blindly accepted by many who follow him. 

People really do need wake up to the issue of Zionism, and Jones' subtle (and in some cases - not so subtle) support of it. See my previous posts on this issue here and here. This is not just about "religion," it is about a hidden and underlying and widely held premises for a so-called "chosen people" (so the Jews believe) to control and dominate the rest of the world at all levels - spiritually, mentally, and physically! That is TOTAL control!

Become aware of the perils of Zionism, and how so many Christians (and others) have been duped into supporting it! And most importantly, place your focus upon Jesus the Christ and His Word! That is what will SAVE YOUR SOUL for ETERNITY!

Jews Are NOT The “Chosen People” of God

The issue of Christian Zionism is such a critical issue, so much so, that I have decided to do yet another blog entry on it! This issue effects not only those who belong to the geniune "Church of Jesus Christ" (those who are "believers"), it also effects the wider world of gentiles (non-believers), as well as those of the Jewish bloodline. Everyone is effected in some way or another.

Just look at the mess the world is currently in! The assumptions of Zionism do play a critical part, whether you will believe it or not. 

First, I will post a Youtube clip of the late Derek Prince's sermon regarding the "breaking of generational curses." For those that know Prince, will know that he was an ardent Christian Zionist. In this video clip, he states that those who are "Anti-Semetic" will be under God's curse. He cites Genesis 12:3 and Genesis 27:29 to support his position. In fact, if anyone even "speaks against" those of the Jewish bloodline are cursed (both individuals and nations)! 

Here is Prince's sermon:




In order to fast forward to Prince's statements about "being cursed" if daring to speak against the Jews, go to: 25min and 15 sec. Not only does Prince make rediculous statements regarding the issue of Zionism, he also makes a fair amount of other unbiblically supported statements. One such statement is this: 'Those who fall on hard economic times, are likely under God's curse, while those who are PROSPEROUS are not!' There is NOT one verse in the Bible that I can find to substantiate Prince's claim. In fact, the opposite may be true. God allows some people to suffer tribulations so that they will turn to Him! Further to that point, those who experience "prosperity" can in fact be under one of the MOST powerful curses...i.e., the "curse of prosperity!" Did Jesus not say that it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to enter God's Kingdom?

There are a fair amount of other statements that he makes that are also insane. If you can stand to listen to this entire one-hour presentation, do so. But do so with your "mental firewall" on!

Now that you have experienced some Zionist-based insanity, I will now subject you to some sanity and a breath of fresh air!

Nathanael Kapner is a former Jew (by birth), and is now a Christian and believer in Jesus Christ. He now devotes his time and efforts to debunking lies that support Zionism. 

Here is Kapner's video clip entitled - "Are Jews The Chosen People?"
I find it interesting that Youtube allows me to embed Prince's youtube clips, but not Kapner's. Just an interesting observation! This video is a 4 minute presentation which summarizes the fact that Jews are not the chosen people, and why such an argument to the contrary is not Biblical.

Now that you have seen Kapner's video clip, you will also want to read ""Jews are NOT The "Chosen People"". After reading this short essay, you will see that it is the believers in Christ that are God's chosen people, not bloodline Jews or current inhabitants of the 'Nation of Israel.' 

Indeed, it is hard to believe (for many evangelical Christians) that the teachings (and preachings) of Derek Prince do in fact lay very subtle support for much of the current (and historic) destruction in this world! Prince is a premillennialist dispensationalist. He has no concept of the fact that Jews lost their status when they crucified Jesus the Christ! There has not been any repentance of this dispicable act ever since! How then can Jews have ever maintained the "chosen people" status that so many Christians continue to believe today? I am calling this insanity out! 

Eschatological beliefs play a much larger role than the average believer and non-believer will never imagine or understand. Every war that Israel fights, and every war that the U.S. (and other nations) have fought (particularly) in the Middle East stems from a hidden and underlying eschatological belief system. There are some who will deny this fact, and claim that it is only "rational interests" that dictate the desires to wage wars. Such a view is also flawed. And because Zionism has the most influence, such premises dictate which wars will be fought and with whom. 

Until Christians wake up, and realize that Zionism is flawed at every level and is unbiblical and against God's Word, the bloody Middle East wars will continue. The Zionists love to point the finger at those who say the U.S. should remove itself from Israel's affairs declaring them as Biblical apostates, and further stating that America will be under God's curse for doing so. No, America is NOT under curse for staying out of Israel's military affairs, she is under curse for her involvement in Israel's affairs and for a slew of other sins (within her own borders) that are piling up to the heavens! Not the least of which is our involvement in Middle East wars where attrocities have been, and are currently being committed. That is just fact and truth. 

Lastly, do understand that the truth that I speak should in no way be interpreted as "hatred" of Jews. While I do hate the lies that support the concepts of Zionism, I have only love for all people. The truth that I write is done in love, so that I may open the eyes of Zionist Christians, Gentiles, and Zionist Jews. You people do need to WAKE UP! I hope this post has done just that!

What is "TRUTH" and WHO has it?

The so-called "Truth Movement" is and has been in full bloom for the last several years, and has been so to a degree never before witnessed! The political and economic corruption, on a national and global level, has been the primary motivation for this phenomenon no doubt.

Figures like Congressman Ron Paul, Matt Drudge, and Alex Jones are on the forefront, and have been looked upon as primary leaders of this movement. And, to add to that, there are a fair number of other influential figures as well, who have gained a fair level of respect among liberty and freedom-minded individuals.

Certainly, I think some of Alex Jones' films have been very useful, and helpful tools in waking people up. "Endgame" and the "Obama Deception" were no doubt his two crowning achievements. Even to this day, there are people who deny much of the information in these films, and do so, more or less at their own peril.

From all that I know about Alex Jones, I can say that I agree with about 90% of the information that he has put out over the years. Some of his talking points have come true over time, and others have not. The thing that I've noticed about Jones; however, is his proclamation of being a "Christian." On one side of his mouth, he speaks some truths about the fact that we have become a decadent society, and we all need to repent to God! To that point, this is a truthful point that can be biblically supported.

However, he then makes absurd statements (out of the other side of his mouth), which depict a very humanistic (and pagan) perspective, where he sort of assumes that the evolutionary scientific model properly describe's man's proper place in this universe. Jones will make silly statements like man and our progeny were destined to "go to the stars" and to explore the universe and to perhaps conquer other worlds! When I hear such silliness, I cannot help but question his understanding of humanity or anything of a biblical nature. Human beings have no business on other planets. First of all, our bodies are not even made to live on other planets. Even if we human beings are intelligent enough to develop bodily enhancements to survive in such environments, it would undoubtedly be a very unnatural (hence UnGodly) existence. Further to this point, there are plenty of other statements that Jones has made which are also totally out of sinc with what Scripture states.

In reference to Jones, I would say about 90% of what he says has some truth, and is useful information to keep in mind. However, the other 10% of what he says can be dangerous to your your spirit, your mind and your health. To this segue, I now will turn to another well-known "truther" called Mark Dice.

Dice offers somewhat a breath of fresh air, in that he injects humor into his presentations. The stunt that drew my attention a few years back, was when he went out in the San Diego area beaches and attempted to sell a one-ounce gold coin for $50 cash. At that time, gold was about $1100 or $1200, and there were no takers. At least that was the video samples that he presented in his youtube clips, whether totally truthful or not. If nothing else, the concept was a good one, and designed to wake up the sheeple, and doing so using humor!

Recently, Dice has been exposing Jones' aggressive support of the "Tangy Tangerine" weight loss product containing arsenic and other known dangerous chemicals. One of his Twitter followers made this point clear to him, and Dice has since built the issue to the point that Jones cannot now ignore. I say that is a good thing! All fraud should be exposed.

My assessment is that Dice adds an additional 5% to the 10% that Jones has been lacking in his presentation over the last several years. Having read the "Big Brother" book, I will say that this book certainly served its purpose of helping non-tech-minded people raise their level of awareness of the big brother system. That in itself, is a what makes it a useful book. However, the book does not give tactics and techniques on HOW TO fly below this growing big brother system! That is where my book comes into play! Just how can people protect themselves? What are the solutions? That is what people should be looking for!

Now, there is still at least a CRITICAL 5% of "truth" that is still missing and is still ignored among the prominant figures now in control of the "Truther Movement" in its current form! Well, this 5% of ignored "truth" is FAR MORE critically important than the other 95%!!! That is a bold statement for me to make! 

I will put it this way: What good are your retreats, your precious metals, your stored food/water, your weapons, etc if you are NOT spiritually prepared for the days ahead? What good are these things if you are not right with God?

Those who are only focused upon the other 95% (of "truth") are only living for this world! That could very well mean that you have nothing beyond this life! You may even be destined to a life of eternal misery and pain! God is real! He is the final judge and arbiter.

On a slightly different tangent, humanists like Tony Robbins ain't gonna save ya either! This guy pushes his manipulative techniques of NLP (which he took from Bandler and Grinder). I am not denying that NLP techniques cannot be used to get others to do what YOU want them to do! Most sheeple are easy to lead even without formal use of such a system. Either way, the use of words and language to persuade people is fundamentally manipulative, and not the manner that a true man should ever behave. In the case of Robbins, he no doubt uses his NLP to benefit himself, far more so than he benefits those whom he proclaims to help. Just look at how much of your money he has taken, and what you have gained in return! I would love to here some sincere testimonies both in his favor or likewise!

Anyone who has managed to reach the financial level status of Robbin's is totally suspect in my view. To make that much money, he must be serving "mammon" (money). Money is the god to serve to make rediculous amounts of money! Mammon or God? One cannot serve both as is stated in God's Word!

No matter how powerful one believes NLP to be, there is a way to gain power in your life that far outweighs anything that NLP techniques can do in one's life. But, to appreciate the application of God's Word and His (superior to NLP) guidance, this will require a change of heart from the very core. One must give up the desire to control others and to engage in manipulative behavior. One must give up the desire to make rediculous amounts of money. Certainly we want good clean food to eat, and a decent home (shelter) to live in. Those are basic needs. However, those who want to live as they do in the proverbial "Beverly Hills", then that is serving mammon under many circumstances.

For those who are followers of Robbins (or Oprah, Eckhart Tolle, etc etc), I pray that you seek something with more substance than what you will get from these rich gurus! There is more to life than becoming "successful" using so-called "self hypnosis" techniques and engaging in "firewalks" or other idolotrous activities.

For those who are contemplating the dumping of their "gods" (i.e., Robbins, Tolle, Oprah, Alex Jones, etc), why not simplify your life once and for all? Fire all of them!!!!!

Return to the Holy Bible - God's Word! If you need help and guidance on HOW TO do this, my book can help. My book is nothing more than a crutch that you will use in the beginning to get you on the right path! That path is not one of worldly riches, but one that goes far deeper (and better) than that!

Certainly seek "truth" from those who present 90% to 95% "truth" as previously mentioned! I myself cannot present everything covered in that category. However, all of you MUST now begin looking at the 5-10% of "truth" that you have been neglecting or risk losing far more than anything you now have in this world!

God bless!

Much has happened in just one year's time. Read Timothy Fitzpatrick's April 21, 2013 blog post regarding Mark Dice if you have not already done so. Click on the bold title (or hyperlink) below:

Heavy Metal Band - Black Sabbath w/ a Christian message




Black Sabbath After Forever Lyrics

Songwriters: IOMMI, WARD, BUTLER, OSBORNE
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is He a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath
Or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope
Do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared
At the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
That God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear?
Yes! I think it's too late.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/black+sabbath/after+forever_20019384.html ]

My comments:
I must confess that I was a Heavy Metal fan (and guitar player over 20 years ago) long before I was ever a true believer in Christ. And to this day, I still enjoy this type of music! There is a contingent of Christians (mostly the "liberal legalists") who would pharisitically point the finger at me and judge me as an "apostate." That is fine if they do, and I will not even bother to engage in any argument w/ them, other than to state my own position. Many of these "legalists" assume that ALL "rock music" or "heavy metal" must automatically be "sinful" music, and therefore, they judge it as "evil." Well, I disagree w/ any across-the-board blanket indictments of such music. I'll leave it at that, as my intent is not to focus only on this issue.

As for Ozzy Osbourne (vocalist) and the nice guitar riffing of Tony Iommi, and swirling bass lines of Butler, what can I say other than that I have always loved it! Many subsequent musicians have been strongly influenced by their playing styles, and many others have followed in their path. 

As for the song above - "After Forever" (written in 1971), the lyrics speak some truths of what it is to be a believer in Christ in this life. As for Osbourne's sincerity of what he wrote, only Ozzy (and God) know whether he believed what he wrote. The lyrics present a nice message nonetheless. Only God can judge the hearts of men. 
Use your own discernment as to whether heavy metal is a type of music that fits into your life or not. To those inclined, enjoy this song and its message!

What squirrels can teach the rest of us about life and about survival




Having spent a most of my life living in urban environments, I can say that I have never had much appreciation for animals of any kind. And as such, I have always viewed squirrels as a life form only slightly above that of a cockroach! I have also noticed over the years that people (in large urban areas) also tend to view squirrels as a life form at or less than that of a cockroach. I have actually seen "soccer moms" in their SUVs that see a squirrel in the middle of the road, and who accelerate in an attempt to run them over! To me, that is sickening as it is a sad commentary of what some urbanites have become. 

The squirrel is the one wild animal that exists in the urban (and rural) wild that actually shares some of the characteristics of humans, at least to a degree. Their "paws" are actually more human-like than that of a dog or a cat. They actually have "fingers" that at least to a degree, resemble that of a human hand. Even their male/female genitals also bare some similarity to that of a human's genitals. Squirrels also communicate using a form of sign language...some of which I have learned over the years, in my experience of relating to them. I've read online that there are some who equate the intellectual capabilities of a squirrel to that of a dog. In my experience of dealing with them, I can agree with that statement!

For example, if I happen to enounter a squirrel while walking along a pedestrian pathway, I can look at one in the eyes, and take one hand (sometimes both hands) and tap my chest with it. Seven times out of ten, a squirrel that is receptive will look back at me and will also tap its chest, and tilt his head. To them, they now understand that I am interested in feeding them. At that point, I take a shelled-peanut (unsalted) out of my bag and I show it to them. At that point, the squirrel will often move in my direction so that I can feed it to him/her. In some cases (1/5 times), the squirrel will come close enough so I can feed it directly to its mouth! Once the squirrel takes the peanut, it will either eat it right there, or it will move to bury the peanut in a location of choice. Such an experience is a satisfying one. My parents never knew I could do this in a large urban environment, and so they never taught me this basic and simplistic activity! At age 5, I would have loved to have known how to do this! Instead, I learned it many years later. 

So, what is the point of this blog post? My point is that most urbanites have lost touch with their basic instincts and their basic HUMANITY! Most young people only care about the next gadget that they want to purchase on the market such as iPhones, iMACs, late model BMWs/Mercedes, or the latest "fall fashion" clothing (sweaters/jackets) even if the tempurature is still 90+ degrees. What these poor souls do not understand is just how FUN the simple and natural things in life can be! 

When we, as human beings, learn to relate to some of the wild nature around us, we become better and happier human beings! Even the hardcore humanists understand this concept to a degree.

Aside from the mental and spiritual aspects of relating to animals, there are some lessons we can learn from squirrels in particular. Most people have heard that squirrels are "frugal" right?! In some cases, I have seen this to be true, and in other cases, I have noticed squirrels that eat nearly everything I give them right in front of me. However, if I put a handful of peanuts in front of them, they will eat a few and then bury the rest. Squirrels are indeed good accountants (for the most part). Although, some of them bury their peanuts and then (no doubt) forget where they buried them for future reference! 

Other things that I have learned from squirrels is that they are early morning risers, and they maintain daily schedules much like that of a responsible human businessman! In large urban areas, most yuppies only rise early when they have to be at the office early. But, on most off days, many yuppies will consume copious amounts alcohol, etc well into the wee hours of the morning, and wake up at or well past noon. A squirrel on the other hand will arrive daily to his/her feeding cache at the SAME time whether it be in the morning, noon, or at night. That is just how intelligent and responsible they can be. 

Indeed, the survival instincts that squirrels have are some of that which many humans have lost! It is time to rediscover the things of God! Appreciation of nature is just one aspect of that process. I do not advocate the worship of nature, but I do advocate the appreciation of it. Even if you have no interest in relating to or feeding squirrels in particular, there are plenty of other ways in which you can connect with the source, and to come face to face with God!
