[...]Because of this...because HE showed that if even death itself can be conquered thru LOVE, and further that there is truly no such thing as death,I am FREE to love my "enemies" instead of hating them. I ask God to forgive them for, "they know not what they do", because if I don't...I give in to thoughts of retaliation, and vengeance, and retribution.

All of those things BELONG TO GOD. And what does God do with them? HE ERASES IT FROM EXISTENCE.

We all came from the same place, and we're all going back to the same place.
Nothing in this world really matters anyway other than that we are all here to learn and create from POSITIVE thought, love as we wish to be loved and reflect back to God our GRATITUDE for this life.

Here's what I've learned...because I no longer hate or fear ANY MAN, instead I chose to LOVE, I become that which my heart thinks, I become love and nothing but love enters into my existence...my enemy (fear) is thereby conquered.
emphasis added.


This is the point that I have been trying to make, that we each must follow our hearts. If one thinks that it is a great idea to file a tax form, then do so. However, if one disagrees with filing such forms, then do not. While one may feel fearful, we must not let fear control us. I feel that this applies to what taxes one wishes to pay, or which wars one wishes to fight. Once fear is not the controlling factor, then one can better decide what is best for him/her self, and what is better for the nation, or the world for that matter.

Yes, your time in the prison system shows that there are many reasons to be frightened, yet, in your heart, what did you do to deserve prison time? You have mentioned that you were following the ideas of Robert Clarkson, that his work was based on the Constitution, however, I have not saw what you found to be wrong with his ideas, except that they resulted in you doing prison time. What in your heart caused you to think that Clarkson was correct in the first place, what change your heart, other than prison? The question is, in your heart, do you feel that this prison time was given on a just basis (i.e. who did you harm), or just to instill fear?

If there was no just basis for the govenment to send you to prison, then they did wrong, why let them change your heart? You should continue to do what your heart tells you, and not let fear, love, anger, retaliation, and vengeance, and retribution, change what you know to be true.

I my view, you have given better responses over time. Please, keep it up.
