Hello Like Minded Friends, I have been writing blogs on blogstream and other sites, along with other writers, for many months now, trying to gain the attention and the support of the many millions of bloggers world wide, who understand English, and who are aware of the worlds many problems.

I am doing this in the knowledge, that it could help our readers to create healing changes in their own lives, in their own countries and the way that they are governed, to a more decontrolled, accessible, accountable, transparent, peaceful and harmonious and open minded Holistic way of life, in this war torn and environmentally damaged world, in which we just about exist.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel in the Person of Senator Barack Obama, who I feel is also working to create change, in the lives of not only the American people, but to help to create and establish an example for the rest of the world to copy. He realises that the present situation is not only costing many thousands of young lives but also millions, possibly billions of Dollars, but also economic and human resources. There are many political, religious and commercial leaders who fear change, because it may mean that they lose money and short term profits, and the control of the people, and are as usual thinking in the short term and for selfish reasons, not thinking in the long term and trying to understanding the needs of the people that they are controlling.

My friends and acquaintances here in Tenerife and elsewhere, ask me why, they say you will be 75 years old on the 8th, (Which is also the 2nd. world war Victory in Europe Day) May next, you suffer from an incurable illness, you have no family and children alive, that you aware of, why are you sitting at your computer sending this message out to the uncaring population. My reasons are as follows, I am an open minded Buddhist, a believer in reincarnation, (which if you take the time, as I did to research, on the Internet, you will find that all the main religions believed this before they were interfered with by their priests) and Holistic Activist, and have been vegetarian for the past 50 years.

I regard all life as sacred, and I believe in the Christian Commandment of "Thou shalt not kill" and living to serve others, not only myself, which many sections and leaders of the Christian Church, and other man altered religions, seem to have conveniently completely forgotton.

I am endeavouring to put the concept forward that Human and Animal sacrifice on the present battlefield of the world, will not bring peace, only more violence and death in return, on all sides, as the daily news tells us. It is also my hope, that if I return to to this Planet, in my next incarnation, that it has changed from a war torn world, to a more peaceful place to live in.

I like using quotes by aware men and women, the following is by Henry W. Longfellow: "Perseverance is a great element of success. If you knock loud enough and knock long enough at the gate, you are sure to awaken somebody" CAN YOU HEAR THE KNOCK Sincerely Mike
