Recently, I received this message:
“Dear AE911Truth Supporter,
Thanks in large part to dedicated 9/11 activists like you all across the country and to Shari Bernson, the courageous Development Director at PBS affiliate Colorado Public Television 12 (CPT12), “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out” has gone ‘viral’. The CPT12 broadcast of Experts Speak Out shot up the chart to become the #1 Most Watched AND Most Shared video on PBS nationwide during the week of the 9/11 anniversary, and in just a few weeks, the film topped 300,000 views. You can watch the documentary now (go to the video page on right) on the CPT12 website-–and there is a link on the national PBS website which records the viewed and shared ratings relative to top shows like NOVA, NewsHour, Frontline, and Masterpiece Theater. The ranking is down a few notches right now, and…

St Phillip’s Plaza
Ah! . . . bummer . . . I like St Phillip’s Plaza farmer’s market, but, again, some store owners complained and I was asked to leave. Isn’t that selfish? I guess they consider me (or my book) a threat.
Whoever complained is not only showing selfishness but also ignorance. Selfishness, because promoting my book does not hinder their business; the opposite is true: it adds to the place during that day of the week, just like the farmers do. Ignorance, because what is really wreaking havoc in our economy (and therefore hurting their business) are the mega banks: Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo etc., and I bet most of those store owners are banking with them, with the criminal banks that are causing the collapse of our system, with the banks that may cause their going out of business. (A Central Bank’s Scheme) It is interesting, isn’t it?
But I think The Eye of the Dragon will survive anyway; it is indeed a timely book. You can check it out right here: The Eye of the Dragon: Stalking Castaneda and even look inside the book. Enjoy! It has a message for you.

The Four Agreements
The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz is a book I recommend. It is a simply written book with very deep truths. The four agreements are: 1. Don’t take things personally. 2. Don’t make assumptions. 3. Be impeccable with your word. 4. Do your best.
If you analyze the first three agreements you’ll realize that they’ll take you to inner silence, although there is more to them than that. The fourth agreement is to just do your best with the first three. Excellent agreement the fourth; it means: Don’t worry about being perfect, just do your best.
I am choosing impeccability with our words in this post because we talk so much, and usually needlessly. And our words are sometimes used to edify, but often are also used to vilify and destroy. Words sometimes are sharper than razors and leave deeper scars, so it is important to speak tactfully, mindfully. Sometimes is better not to speak at all; for once a word is spoken it can’t be retrieved, and being sorry does not erase the scar.
I am also choosing this agreement because so many people are so careless about their promises that they devalue their word. And when they do that they also devalue themselves; they come across as unreliable. Our word should be honored because if our word is no good, how good are we? What do we mean when we speak? As they say: “If your word is no good, you are no good.”
Let’s be impeccable with our words, and let’s mean what we say.
What do you think?

The Road to second Mesa
It took me a while to find my friend’s house, and he wasn’t there. But I found his family. His wife remembered me after so many years, and we talked for a while. I could tell that I had interrupted her preparations (an important celebration was due the following week; the Kachinas were going to be send back to the mountains) so I told her not to mind me if she needed to go back to work.
Her son stayed chatting with me; he was sculpting a Kachina doll. Nobody was sure when my friend would return so I wondered what to do, and where to stay if I stayed overnight. He suggested to stay overnight at the campground, next to the cultural center, so I would be able to see his father in the morning, before 8 am. He should be home then. I decided to stay. I left them a copy of my book and went sightseeing:
The Campground, next to the Cultural Center
Again: The Road to Second Mesa
A View from the Mesa
When I was on my way to Second Mesa a prairie dog was standing on the road resembling a scrubby tuft of grass. He didn’t move until it was too late for me to realize what the tuft of grass was, and he died under my right wheels. When I was crossing the road to take some of these pictures, I almost made the same mistake the prairie dog had made. I saw the car just in time to stop on my tracks, and I thought that the only difference between that prairie dog and me was that it wasn’t my turn yet. When my turn comes, I will join him. Life is just a process; there is no birth and death.
Next morning before 8 am, I went to find my friend. Apparently he was in another house, his son-in-law told me. He guided me there and left me to my own devices. As I approached the house, one of my friend’s daughters came out to do something. She didn’t answer my greeting, so I asked for my friend. She was plain rude then; she told me cuttingly that he was still in Flagstaff, and they didn’t have time for visitors. I excused myself. As I was leaving, I asked her to tell him that I had said hello. “I will tell him,” she said dryly.
The movie Chocolat came to mind, with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche. It is a movie about how traditions can dehumanize us and kill our spirit: A town plagued by domestic violence, neglect and just plain boredom is transformed by a magical woman.
“At the center of CHOCOLAT is a woman charged with special powers: Vianne Rocher, a mysterious outsider who arrives in the French village of Lansquenet to open a chocolaterie featuring luscious candies that can, in addition to tantalizing the tongue, cure lost hopes and awaken unexpected emotions.” This is a movie I can recommend.
I went back to take a picture of this quaint little store
But I found this young employee outside (he allowed me the picture), unable to get in because the owners neglected to inform him that they would be visiting a neighboring village for their traditional dances, and would open late. And I don’t mean to say that we should neglect our traditions, but maybe we all need to get a direct, stronger connection with Spirit, and forget about most of the pomp and bell-ringing. We might get to be more considerate with our fellow human beings then. What do you think?

No country can call itself independent when private banks control the economy. Our independence was lost in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Reserve is a trojan horse, a banking cartel. Our politicians work for them. Please see https://youtu.be/5IJeemTQ7Vk Or read: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin
All our presidents after JFK have been puppets. Why do you think he was assassinated? Please check: JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters by James W Douglass
How serious the problem is? It is global. They are controlling the world economy. How far are they willing to go? Please see: AE 9/11 Truth Their only loyalty is to money.
This is what we are facing in a nutshell. But please, don’t take my word for it. Do your own research.
What can we do to recover our freedom, democracy and independence? First, you have to care. If you do, here is a list you can start with:
