May is Mental Health Month – Marching together with the Spirit

Self-discipline is essentially the same as self-control, one of the nine fruits of the Spirit listed by Paul in Galatians 5:22-23. The KJV translation uses the word temperance in place of “self-control” which, like self-discipline, generally refers to our ability to control or restrain ourselves from all kinds of feelings, impulses, and desires, which includes the desire for physical and material comfort

The Evil Red Empire – The Fall of Saigon – April 30, 1975

The Fate of Saigon and its Fall on April 30, 1975 was destined on January 27, 1973 when Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger, PhD , National Security Adviser concluded Paris Peace Accords to sign the Vietnam Peace Treaty in Paris, the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam. Dr. Kissinger acting on behalf of the United States agreed to withdraw all remaining US ground force without obtaining any concessions from North Vietnam while its troops occupying and controlling much of the South. This Agreement was a deliberate fraud. South Vietnam opposed it for the deal would lead to Communist takeover of the South. Both President Richard Nixon and Kissinger were fully aware of the real consequences of the deal but chose to deceive American people. President Nixon asked publicly for Peace with Honor and had privately agreed for Peace with Surrender. Both Nixon and Kissinger had singularly failed to obtain any assurances from Red China, The Evil Red Empire on whose behalf the Communists of North Vietnam fought the Vietnam War. The US agreed to withdrawal of its troops and South Vietnam and its major cities were left undefended while the US Embassy was still open in Saigon. Dr Kissinger’s desire for unholy matrimony with The Evil Red Empire was the driving force that shaped the US military defeat in Vietnam.

Earth Day April 22 – My life’s journey on the surface of a Flat Disc

Tuesday, April 22 is Earth Day and the official theme for 2025 is “Our Planet. Our Power.” Since man has no direct sensory experience of the realities of Earth’s shape and motions, the Earth Day celebration calls for the recounting of the experience of one’s own earthly existence.On Earth Day 2025, this slave is still carrying the burden of the Cross while he slowly inches towards his final, earthly destination. The alien has no choice other than that of learning the art of Whole Patience.
The man’s existence on surface of planet Earth demands the experience of Flat Earth with Arched Dome on which the man observes the apparent motions of Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. The man experiences alternating periods of Day and Night, and experiences changing Seasons in consistent manner without experiencing the true or real motions of Earth and with no direct experience of the true shape of Earth.

East and West – What sets us apart in Learning and Creative Writing?

Creative Writing Class at Pioneer High School, Ann Arbor is taught by Jeff Kass who also teaches at the Eastern Michigan University. Creative Writing must describe the ‘Individualistic Rhythm’. A Creative Writer never dies as his thoughts survive in his Writing.
I expect to see a Glow of Happiness when the students leave the Creative Writing Class. Creative Writing should not be like that of a boat rowing race and it should rather represent the act of gently rowing the boat down the stream and the act of rowing should give a sense of Joy as expressed in the popular nursery rhyme
Creative Writing is like the sense of relief a pregnant woman experiences after delivering the baby she had conceived before. A mind, full of thoughts is often compared to the state of pregnancy. The act of delivery is the ultimate Joy and the painful contractions of delivery are instantly forgotten and the face of the mother reflects a glow of happiness.

Fixing my eyes on Jesus on Good Friday – Why have you forsaken me?

I describe myself as Simon a Cyrenian bearing the burden of the cross under compulsion and following Jesus. I am in the City of Jerusalem and yet I am an alien for I am not a citizen of Rome, not a citizen of Israel, not a citizen of Judea, and not a citizen of Galilee. I follow Jesus but I have not yet entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth to claim the citizenship status. I reflect upon the Great Struggle, the Agony of the Cup held by Jesus and the Burden of the Cross I carry. The completed act of Crucifixion resolved the Agony of the Cup, the Great Struggle endured by Jesus. I am the alien who is present when Jesus cries out as the Agony of the Cup comes to its conclusion.

The Observance of Last Supper is about the Fulfillment of Lord’s Command

Judas participated in the Holy Communion and received the sacrament directly from the hands of Jesus but there was no mystical union between the recipient and the Christ. In my view, the bread and wine partaken in remembrance of Christ’s atoning death cannot be viewed as man’s participation in the Sacrifice and man has no ability to offer himself to atone his own sins. Between man and God, the relationship demands a new basis, a new Law, and a new Covenant.

Whole Supper – The relationship between man and God demands a new Covenant offered by Jesus

Lord’s Supper was the Last Supper that Jesus had shared with His twelve disciples on the night before His Crucifixion. Christ offered Himself to God as a sacrifice for sin so that a new relationship could be created by God between Himself and the redeemed community of believers. Lord’s Supper is a proclamation of the Lord’s death as a Sacrament until He returns to Earth. It could be correct to claim that Lord’s Supper is the Memorial of a Sacrifice. When believers receive the consecrated bread and wine, their participation is not a repetition of the Sacrifice of Christ made at Calvary. The act of sharing bread and wine which are used as symbols of Body and Blood of Jesus, will not constitute a participation in the self-offering that Christ has made. Virtually all Christian Churches celebrate the practice of Holy Communion and the ‘Mass’ is held as a real though mystical reenactment of the Christ on the Cross and in expectation of the arrival of the Kingdom of God in its fullness. Churches believe that the recipient of the Sacrament is united mystically with Christ by simply receiving the consecrated bread and wine. Judas participated in the Holy Communion and received the sacrament directly from the hands of Jesus but there was no mystical union between the recipient and the Christ. In my view, the bread and wine partaken in remembrance of Christ’s atoning death cannot be viewed as man’s participation in the Sacrifice and man has no ability to offer himself to atone his own sins. Between man and God, the relationship demands a new basis, a new Law, and a new Covenant.

Whole Awareness – Designate March as Tibet Awareness Month

I designate the month of March as Tibet Awareness Month. I regret to report that The Great Problem of Tibet is still on the Back Burner. But I am adamantly hopeful for the word Evil means Doom, Apocalypse, Calamity, Cataclysm, and Disaster. The global attention for Tibet has shrunk but the Evil Red Empire could be rushing ahead to meet its unavoidable Fate.

My Journey in search of Human Rights, Freedom, Peace and Justice – The trappings of Chakrata Karma

Tibet Uprising or Tibet Rebellion on Tuesday, March 10, 1959 makes a profound impact on the course of my life’s journey since 1971 when I joined the Tibetan Resistance Movement in support of Human Rights, Freedom, Peace and Justice in Occupied Tibet. I speak on behalf of the Living Tibetan Spirits who live in exile without a refugee status, without asylum protection, and without any entity that can be called a friend.

Supreme Ruler of Tibet on a Long Journey since March 10, 1959

Following the failed Uprising of Tibetans in March 1959, the Supreme Ruler of Tibet has been forced to live in exile. His long, tedious journey in quest of Peace still continues with no hope for finding Natural Peace, Natural Harmony, and Natural Equilibrium in Occupied Tibet.
If human interventions cannot restore Peace in Tibet, I do invite a Heavenly Strike to restore Tibet Equilibrium.
