ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It most certainly would not have been possible for me to grow as I have spiritually or to have even contemplated writing this book without the unconditional love, friendship, prayers and support of my wife Naomi and our friends and family both in Taiwan R.O.C., America, especially in Oklahoma, Vietnam, France and of course Russia and China.

I also want to acknowledge the help of some great NSA operatives who tirelessly have watched over me and my family even the ones who often block my emails I truly understand its only your job it's not personal. My thanks to the many nameless and faceless staff members of the Oklahoma City VA Hospital and the many great doctors and psychologists that have tirelessly provided excellent medical care to so many Veterans in Oklahoma. I especially want to thank Dr. Bratkovich, Dr. Lee, Dr. Wisdom, Kristi Doyle and Stephanie in the patient advocates office. Of course I must thank the staff and my friends at the Red Cup Café in Oklahoma City. This is my favorite place to eat delicious vegetarian cuisine and a great environment to write or just make some new friends. Drop by have a cup of witch's brew or one of Hollies amazing hot teas and say hello. I'm there most days for lunch.

I must acknowledge and thank Great Britain for working so hard to correct this mess over here in the United States. I want to acknowledge the National Institutes of Health and the many branches of the NSA even the ones in Western Europe responsible for so many earthquakes. I want to thank Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald for fearlessly fighting for the Truth and the need for Liberty and Love for all others. I want to say thank you to Mark, Mario, and Colin in Denver, Colorado. Without their help, I would not have been able to get this book written. And of course, without the publishers at Stop The Pain Oklahoma Inc., this book would never have seen the light of day.

Sincerely, Joseph S Turner

### Introduction

As written in Holy Scripture:

"In The Kingdom of Heaven, there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female, Christ is All and in All. Behold the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

This passage also refers to deification, which is God's purpose for all of mankind. We have the choice to walk among the living, to step out of the tombs thoughtfully and with contemplation get our minds to submit to the heart, and to follow our hearts along the path to the tree of life. It is this straight and narrow path that is the "Love of all others." And that love is the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven, proving that God's love is at hand today. Our choice then is to either accept the Gospel or stay in the tombs to live among the dead.

The Love of Money is the root of many evils, and chief among these evils is when two people choose to not make vows to each other to bear one another's burdens in this difficult indentured life. Such people ignore the example of what the monks have been doing in monasteries for centuries. Once aware of divine truth--and with your eyes now open--you will witness evidence of evil and forms of chaos. So do not be discouraged by what you will read here and instead fortify yourself with the truth that springs from God's love.

Solomon the Wise said Christ is found with those who do not tempt him. Those who tempt God are they who doubt, hesitate, or even worse, resist His omnipotence and wisdom. We must not second-guess God's grace by asking. "Why did God make things this way and not that way? Could He not have made things differently?"

Such questions reveal an inner meanness of spirit and a propensity to reaction. They expose our pride and conceit. People are tormented by these "whys," which then manifest themselves as fear and shame, what we in the modern world call "complexes." Questions such as, "Why am I so tall?" Or the opposite, "Why am I so short?"

These petty concerns do not vanish by themselves. You may pray and hold vigils, yet still experience an outcome that is the opposite of what you desire. As a result you suffer fear and shame. This fear and shame are tools of Satan, which he uses to promote his campaign of evil--that is, living apart from God and away from His grace.

With Christ however, these torments disappear. Deep within us uncertainties remain, but the grace of God can wash away our fear and shame. While the root is the "complex," what the world sees is a rose bush, one embellished with beautiful blossoms. And the more our outer self is watered by faith, love, patience, and humility, the more evil ceases to have any power in our lives. On the other hand, if the rose bush is not watered, it loses its blossoms and withers, to be replaced by weeds and thorny brush.

It is not only our resistance to His grace and our "whys" that show we are tempting God. We tempt God when we ask something from Him even when our life is not in harmony with His will. On the one hand we bring about the symptoms of living in opposition to God--cultivating anxiety and worry--and yet on the other hand we continue to petition him.

The above thoughts are not mine but are paraphrased from the book, Wounded by Love, The Life and the Wisdom of Elder Prophyrios.

Without God, everything in the world seems always in a state of turmoil. But when we change our perspective, we see the truth that exists around us. But without removing the conceits that muddy up our thinking it becomes impossible to be transparent, honest, faithful, and loving of all others. We must calm the angry monkeys that can rampage through our thoughts. When we bring order to our house of worship--our mind--we can stop the pain caused by hatred and bigotry that in turn leads to division and dissention.

Remember, God is love. We are supposed to be one nation under God, and thus, a nation of love. With the liberty provided by love, we can create the space each of us needs to grow spiritually. We are like plants, starting as seeds, then sprouting and continuing through the cycle of change to become trees that produce fruit to sustain others along the path--the way of Life in God's grace. It's where we can all flourish provided we step out of the tombs when we mindfully seek to change our views and thinking. The moment this is done we alter for the better the karmic activities we constantly create. With this, our world becomes the one love that is at hand today in the Kingdom of Heaven.

### Chapter 1

### Love, Money, Electricity, Oil and Gas

I first moved to Oklahoma around 1968 and have lived in Oklahoma for more than forty years of my life. Oklahoma is most certainly the Land where everyone has the Liberty to fall in love with someone while also making an honest living. Today even people of the same sex can actually do this openly. Equality in America has made tremendous headway thanks to the efforts of so many countless individuals who truly believe in the values of our founding fathers and the need for Liberty and Love for all others. To these amazing individuals the truth about the love of money being the root of so many forms of evil is like the small lamp they keep lit on the coffee table by the television as they watch the news of current events unfolding daily. It's easy to see the news stories detailing how Oklahoma has truly been blessed with an abundance of oil and gas. Obviously working in this industry can be the source of joy and happiness because with hard work and ingenuity every member on these teams becomes responsible for creating the biggest revenue stream in Oklahoma, according to recent estimates it accounts for about 10% of the GDP of Oklahoma's economy's. It is obvious it will continue to be the source of much development benefitting so many others sure there will be ups and downs, falling prices, rising prices, earthquakes, damaged roads and homes.

In Oklahoma there are so many other forms of earthquakes not caused by the Oil and gas industry that are actually responsible for damaging so many more homes in Oklahoma than the earthquakes caused by the fracking and waste water disposal wells involved in Oil and gas exploration and development. These other earthquakes are causing marriages to fail and children to be forced to live in broken homes. The damaged roads in these relationships many times can never be repaired. They can only be replaced with a new marriage and like the roads in Oklahoma they are being replaced by the mile. This damage is caused also by the love of money truly the root of so many forms of evil, many can be viewed as acts created by God fearing people out of love with good intentions even the effects of these actions appear to be fruit good and pleasing to the eye which may actually be sour when eaten if it is not allowed to ripen. Again this view depends on the way we individually view the world some people like sour fruit not sweet fruit and vice versa. I have come to understand the benefit of avoiding attachment to labels rather I try and view everything as neutral remembering there are certainly causes and effects and we will always reap what we sow as an individual and it is also true these acts certainly effect our societies as a whole. There is a purpose and time for everything under the sun. The way we label things within our mind determines our view of the world making it a Kingdom of Heaven or a Hell. When we label them as either Good or Evil we no longer allow ourselves to be detached and open to Gods Omnipotence and Grace we simply cut ourselves off the moment we succumb to this temptation. I have found when I am able to let go of the stereotypes I hold in my own mind I can then better understand things in a way that allows me to stay calm and deal with anything that comes my way. This allows me to stay mindful of the need for liberty and love for all others. With this view it becomes easier to realize the truth that all misery actually comes from ourselves. I will try and demonstrate this later in this book by presenting as an example an environment where Pimps dress like Christian Priests complete with Gold chains and crosses spreading the Gospel of US citizenship offering money in the form of good paying jobs to young vulnerable foreign women in exchange for them giving Love to certain LGBT Christian men. Speaking of money! What do you think the Fair price for a gallon of Gas or Diesel fuel in Oklahoma is? $1.45-$4.25 per gallon personally I see the impact and benefits of these lower prices hovering between $1.65- $2.25 per gallon for gas and diesel fuel on the residents of Oklahoma. The impact has been significant. Should the price go even lower or again go much higher of course this question is being asked all over the world in every capital in the United States, Europe and the middle East? The geopolitics of Oil and Gas, War and Love have been going on for more than a hundred years' now. What is often overlooked but none the less remains undeniable is that when people have Liberty and Love for one another instead of only a love for making money the political and economic state of things in the world and in the individual family homes do not have to be in a state of War.

So again this brings us to a simple interrelated question what should the price for a barrel of Oil be? This question has so many dimensions since of course Oil and Petroleum products are used in so many things besides automobiles and transportation. There is also the question of Cost Verses Benefit for even discovering, producing, refining Oil and the often unspoken and debated environmental impact resulting in Global warming, Earthquakes, Pollution of the Air, Contamination of Water, Contamination of Soil. The impact of products produced with petroleum products like round up on Global agriculture production and Genetically modified food to resist the product being developed, its effects on causing cancer both in the animals being fed this food and of the course all the people in society eating, paying taxes and health insurance premiums to battle the onslaught of diseases linked to all the foods we are currently eat ranging from Diabetes, High blood pressure, High Cholesterol, Cancer, Obesity, and the Chronic pain, Depression and Anxiety that are related to the unspoken damage caused to our endocrine system in everyone exposed to not just the food products, but also from the water we drink and the air we all breath along with all the other products we come in contact with that are created with plastic, paint, adhesive materials, dyes including even our clothing, automobiles, furniture and housing. The sheet rock in the walls of our houses is made from the burned ash of coal fired power plants! A few years ago some of the sheet rock imported from china was linked, a likely cause of respiratory ailments and illness in people residing in the homes built with these products and materials research suggested there was a link to corrosion in the copper wiring and metal objects of some of these homes, in homes built in high humidity climates.

One must also look at all the economic benefits not just all the negative consequences. The Energy industry provides Jobs, Electricity for lighting and Air conditioning as well as it is the source of powering almost all our modes of transportation. Without this industry we would all be farming with animals and by hand again. We wouldn't have the availability of all the building materials, and products, including clothing, cars, homes, appliances, office buildings, malls, even apartment buildings could not be constructed or have access to clean water and sewage treatment. The healthcare system available today including both Eastern and Western medicine would not be as widely available without transportation and so many of the medical breakthroughs would not even be possible without the Global communication made available and powered today by the energy industry.

It should now be clear we have to find the proper balance in an ever changing environment of Energy needs using the many ever changing mix of resources available by trying to managing their impact on every area of society including of course the many Wars that have been related to all the Geopolitics involved. Simply stated Moderation is the answer for both producing, pricing and consuming all the many products and services developed, enabled and powered by the energy industry as a whole!

The Holy Russian Orthodox Christian Church the keeper of the truth and the protector of the Christian family resisted the heresy fallen into by the Western side of Christianity when they turned from deification as Gods purpose for all of mankind has always been mindful and therefore maintained moderation and balance like their Buddhist neighbors have been teaching as the benefits of Prayer, Meditation, and Fasting for an even longer period of time. Both agree in the need for everyone to become Christ like attaining the Virtues. Both likewise recognize Christ is the Eternal Toa. Diversity of religious believe is also a bigger part of the solution to many problems affecting the World and our families. Here to the love of money is the root of evil effecting the geopolitics of business on a global scale. The stereotypes we mindfully hold are so strongly influenced by the actual practice of the teachings we learned as a child passed down through the years from religion in the form of manifestations of anger we all see.

Diversity of energy resources and all the many products and services enabled and powered is also a much bigger part of the solution than almost everyone realizes. One example and solution to all this that has not been added to the energy mix on a large scale is energy produced and products that are powered by hydrogen and the production of hydrogen possibly even from contaminated water currently being produced by all the fracking activities of the Oil and Gas industry. If you've read the last book I've written and the first book of this series titled Kingdom of Heaven which is now being rebranded as "Unseen Warfare" you now know that the NSA has been powering the many different surveillance devices that are actually a combination of micro-computers with sonar and multiple frequency transmitters as small as the tip of a pin all through the airwaves with WIFI signals and by other power sources. It may seem like a monumental task it will certainly require a lot of change which is just how the world has always worked. The World is an ever changing World of nothingness since everything is not just subject to change but is constantly changing all the time. Converting the US power structure to supplying and accommodating all housing and buildings with at least 220 volts or more is also a change that would not only spur economic development with new products but would also allow for more conservation of these precious resources. But now we must ask ourselves why would we do only this when we can all go completely wireless and have possibly free electricity all the time all without any pollution. Surely we can all agree of the effect overuse has on every Society as a whole. Innovation and change is as much of the solution as conservation! If not more of the solution.

Diversity of transportation and housing has been overlooked for far too long. We have let the innovation of the Love of money and the luxury of the automobile and the fear of War change the way we build cities and how we handled the infrastructure often not effectively enabling both private and public transportation to address the myriad of needs and economic demographics within every society. This too has resulted in a misuses by overuse of electrical wiring and resources to provide power and utilities services even affecting the length of the water pipes that supply and remove the sewage. Handling the management of all the trash generated from the over consumption of resources as you now see even impacts the use of land which unfortunately is truly a limited resource. We certainly can do a better job with all this if we can simply acknowledge the benefits of diversity and the need for changing our activities and actions to meet the needs of everyone in at least a reasonable fashion for the basic necessities again simply by allowing room for Liberty and Love for everyone within our economic model.

I must now give the best answer to my original question. What should the price of a barrel of Oil be? Oil has averaged $56 a barrel for the last 18 months the positive effects have been tremendous for Oklahomans below this will it spur the change and innovation in Oklahoma that is much needed to diversify, improve and make the changes that everyone here needs to make in this society today for a myriad of reasons? Should it be above the range of $50-$60 a barrel? Food, shelter, medicine including clothing and all the things we all need and desire become too expensive for I personally believe too many people. Through this lens looking honestly at the world as it applies in the Kingdom of Oklahoma today with an eye on economic cost/benefit analysis perhaps we should focus on the price for a gallon of fuel and try and keep it close to $2 a gallon for the common folks and small business owners alike. While also making the innovation and changes to our power structure, transportation system, and neighborhood designs and housing throughout America creating a new economic model that includes the jobs that every unemployed American needs to be a benefit and a blessing to all others while also feeling content with the fruits of the labors of their own hands. The Need for Liberty and Love for one another is the best economic model of men and now you can see the sons of God.

### Chapter 2

### Teepees, Tents, log Cabins and Homes

A home is where the family is! A homeless shelter and prison are not my idea of a home nor is this model that is so widely used in Oklahoma alleviating the symptom and solving the much bigger problem within our society. The root or cause of this problem which is not publicly spoken about in most circles sprouts from the love of money the root of so much evil. The continued Lying, Cheating and Stealing by so many businesses, governing bodies and people through a myriad of schemes woven into the fabric of our society here in Oklahoma is a travesty I for one am not happy with. Oklahoma can do so much better than what we have all become used to seeing as normal yesterday, today, and only see continuing into the future tomorrow! With Honesty, Common Sense, Liberty and Love for one another this continued swirling cesspool affecting all our lives in so many different and diverse ways can cease to be our economic model. If we continue doing what we have been doing for so long and actually expect different results, then we are truly insane and can expect no better future for either ourselves or for the children we are raising indifferent to the needs of others and actually the needs of everyone while continuing this type of behavior. A psychologist may simply diagnose someone with this difficulty as being bi polar but this should not come as a surprise to anyone given the profound history of mental illness that is no longer a secret that anyone even the mayor of Moore can continue to hide. I for one laugh when I hear the rumor around for more than 25 years that residents of Moore Oklahoma are known to be Moron's. I live there too and must be one for even suggesting a solution that involves Liberty and Love for everyone. The same principle our founding fathers decided was the foundation we should all build this country on.

I cannot give up the idea that everyone who is able should be enjoying the fruits of the labors of their own hands does this not infer a living wage not just a job! I can even see the Ethics or should we say the Eastern Orthodox Christian Virtues, Muslim virtues, Buddhist virtues, Hindu virtues, Jewish Virtues which just so happen to all be the same and the solid Rock foundation and corner stone of any successful City, State, Nation and so called Christian society. In Oklahoma we do not have to force the families of the poor to carry the burden of a society being governed and managed with less than honorable intentions by people who also happen to be living their own lives bound to let's just say less than honorable behaviors because of an unquenchable lust for money. Deification acquiring the virtues by helping all others acquire the virtues is the solution for the unquenchable passion of the Love of money which also happens to be the root cause and creator of so many of the problems facing Oklahoma and the World today. Without acknowledging the Spiritual World, we cannot fix the physical world. Without Liberty and Love for all others the World we live in simply won't change. Private prisons, Poverty and homeless shelters have never been the Holistic solution to any manifestation of the love of money in any society throughout history. Without Mindfulness and Contemplation these good intentions will only pave the road to more failures in the state of Oklahoma. Failures that affect everyone when they become manifested as the fruit of the labor of our own hands in any of the many forms of brokenness we all live with daily. Truly we are the ones we are waiting for to make Oklahoma a new Kingdom, a new Heaven and a new Earth!

### Chapter 3

### The road to failure is often paved with good intentions!

Looking at the scenery almost anywhere from the car window while driving on the many highways and county roads throughout the United States can make for an amazing road trip that can create memories that last a lifetime. The trip while pleasant starts to get a little bumpy like the many memories of the road conditions I've experienced while being driven and driving in Oklahoma for more than 40 years. Once you enter Oklahoma in almost no time it's easy to feel and see the difference between the roads in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado ok just about all the many other states throughout the United States happen to also have better roads than Oklahoma! Do you think the actual cause is unknown to the state leaders in Oklahoma working at the Department of transportation? I hope not. I'm not so sure though that they want you and me talking about this and knowing the story of this well-kept secret to why this has been the case for so long? The answer to this secret has been kept a secret from the general public for almost 95 years. I'm sure some sweet people who have kept this secret would prefer this to stay a secret for another 95 years.

The actual cause of all the bad roads is simply because the ground is always moving, vibrating and cracking. If you happen to be the responsible party or the business leader burdened with this truth you too may want this to remain a secret especially since the liability may be significant and still appears to be continuing and will so for perhaps an additional very long time. However, if you are in charge of designing and maintaining all these terrible roads in Oklahoma at the County, Small Town and City level wouldn't you like the information about the cause so you could better understand even contemplate mindfully and invent a solution which by the way is referred to as innovation today every time someone comes up with a solution that actually solves a problem like this and makes or saves a business money. I must ask is Oklahoma not a business? Are not the Leaders of this business mindful of the need to lead by solving problems instead of hiding problems and following the example left to them by past leaders who seem too often to have swept the truth and their failures under a rug of silence hoping the problem would just magically go away while praying daily for different results the next time surely they know you cannot ignore the biblical truth "You reap what you sow". Or could this all be because of some type of improper political relationship involving Alcohol, Drugs, Sex and Money that may have existed in the past between a number of our business leaders involving perhaps construction companies, maybe even the Asphalt and Concrete industry and who knows even the Oil and Gas industry could have the ear of the officials responsible for approving plans, budgeting even solving our states problems as efficiently and effectively as possible? We may never know and today this just no longer probably matters what does matter is solving the problem which is likely if we have the right information and make an honest effort.

Earthquakes are of course the likely cause what other single event can move, vibrate and crack the ground as easily and over a larger area of land and happen more often in Oklahoma than this? In fact, what other place on earth has more earthquakes than Oklahoma the answer of course is nowhere. According to http://earthquakes.ok.gov/faqs/ number of earthquakes Oklahoma has experienced just for the last few years is astonishing. In 2013, Oklahoma experienced 109 earthquakes of a magnitude 3.o or greater. In 2014, there were 585 magnitudes 3+ earthquakes. There are Estimates based on current earthquake activity that show 2015 will likely outpace all the previous year's events.

In fact, I decided to check this website again when doing the final edit of this book and found out that Oklahoma experienced 907 magnitudes 3+ earthquakes in 2015.

The State of Oklahoma maintains even today on this website on 1/2/2016 that the State of Oklahoma prefers to typically only discuss numbers of earthquakes based on magnitude 3+ as they are clearly stating on the website mentioned above. However, my personal preference is different. I think we need to look at more of the information to actually solve this problem. The official state opinion clearly viewed on their website simply states the opinion that it recommends looking at these 3+ events because this type of earthquake event is able to be felt by most people. It should be clear to our honest and competent state scientists and business leaders like it is to all arm chair scientist in Oklahoma that the hundreds, and actually thousands of other earthquakes that are happening yearly below the level of 3+ magnitudes are also moving, vibrating and cracking the earth under all the roads in Oklahoma as well. I agree this may just be a common sense conclusion reached by an Arm chair scientist and resident of Oklahoma like myself who thinks this easily dictates that we need to make some changes to the way we design and build roads throughout Oklahoma. Can you take a step back in time for a few minutes and take a look at some of the streets in Guthrie Oklahoma that are probably over a hundred years old and made of Bricks? They truly look amazing and are pleasant to the eyes and really do not require as much maintenance and repair as all the many other roads made of concrete reinforced with steel and asphalt that require replacing by the mile. These modern man made roads today have continued to need replacing and repairing by the mile since being built and replaced since 1920 which by the way was recently the topic of a news article run a few weeks ago publicly perhaps for the first time acknowledging 1920 as the time when fracking was first recognized by Leaders in Oklahoma as being the actual cause for all the earthquakes that Oklahoma has experienced since.

While on my last trip to Guthrie I cannot even remember seeing a pot hole in these amazing brick roads perhaps because they are easy to repair. Today I live in Moore Oklahoma in a fairly new addition called Rock Creek my home was built in 2006. It was one of the first homes built in phase 3 of 5 Construction. After just a year or so I could see long cracks in the asphalt street outside not just my home but also up and down all the long streets in my neighborhood they all began as small cracks less than ¼ inch in width. In a few years' time many have become 3-4 inches wide and the length of the whole street some became big enough for any Child and most Adults to twist their ankle in if they are unfortunate enough to walk into them which is easy to do at night. The city of Moore did an amazing job innovating and applying a solution that fixed the roads by my home. Thank you City of Moore for mindfully solving this problem affecting me and my family.

There are many cobblestone and brick roads throughout the World many are hundreds of years old and can easily be repaired without having to tear up and replace miles of roads. We can easily do better. In fact, Oklahoma has an abundance of Clay that can possibly be used to make the bricks to build these roads. Oklahoma also has an abundance of natural gas to burn in the furnaces needed to make these bricks and now since we have the knowledge of the cause of all these damaged roads related to the Oil and Gas business in Oklahoma perhaps The Oil and Gas Industry can help clean up the mess and build the bricks, repaving our roads with truly good intentions. The Oil and Gas industry as a whole is currently paying Oklahoma one percent in taxes and able to benefit from a large portion of the other 99 percent of revenue surely the leaders of this great industry can mindfully manage this simple mundane task while creating some new jobs with a living wage for the many Oklahomans previously incarcerated and unemployable including many of the now homeless residents and their families staying at missions and homeless shelters. Through the deployment of this type of innovation while exploring and developing the Oil and gas reserves in Oklahoma we can accomplish this task. By adding the Diversity of this new industry to Oklahoma one that will truly be a lasting industry for Oklahoma for many years to come since the task will never be completed as the state continues to grow and as the earthquakes will surely only continue. This new industry could theoretically build roads that finally last a lifetime even longer than the next 95 years of Fracking for Oil and Gas in Oklahoma.

There are some amazing machines made in Germany one such machine is called the Tiger brick paving machine that could lay these bricks across the whole street with just a few men needed for man power. In fact, the bottle neck would likely be making the bricks not laying them. Who knows the materials used to make this new durable brick material could even contain some of the mud and other contaminates generated from fracking in the first place. With portable Kilns put on the sites of oilfields burning off methane the cost to make these bricks could actually turn out to be minimal in the long run while also generating potentially a huge revenue stream from sales to other states and industries including the housing industry since most industries operate on a thousand percent markup in Oklahoma like the Oklahoman newspaper. Thus providing a huge benefit and solution for the very old notorious problem of Bad roads in Oklahoma once and for all. Yes, Oklahoma can by example leave memories and something else truly lasting for our children and their children. Showing the World, the simplicity of a solution that involves building and laying many bricks made from contaminated materials with a special machine in front of many other bricks made the same way how something so simple can create memories of earning a living wage while solving problems and bad roads throughout Oklahoma for the next century and beyond!

Of course brick or cobblestone roads would be noisy, but at the same time beautiful and more durable than asphalt. Perhaps they would not be as useful for our highways unless the bricks were made to be 8-12 inches thick in depth and were placed over a foot of gravel bedding like the many cobblestone roads throughout West Germany that I personally drove 13 ton tracked vehicles over during my tour of duty there from 1986-1988. Those cobblestone roads really were pretty maintenance free when installed and engineered to handle the heavy loads of tracked vehicles including tanks. I for one would truly appreciate the added beauty and comfort of this type of modern version of an old and nostalgic road in my neighborhood where the maximum speed is 20 mph who knows it may even raise the resale value of all the homes in the addition increasing the property tax for the city of Moore while lowering the burden they have been experiencing spending their hard earned tax revenue to fix and repair all the roads they maintain. At a time when available funding for education is shrinking we certainly need to find an economical way to build and maintain our roads that would allow us to free up more funding for education. Innovation can be beautiful and provide a better value over the long haul for everyone when properly deployed as part of a diverse strategy backed by well-informed research. As my retired friend Mr. Lee would say "Let's Get R Done"!

### Chapter 4

### Innovation and immigration lead to Amazing simple housing and more

I will always teach my daughter to think outside the sandbox she lives in. With some creativity we can do this and have a lot of fun, enjoy the fruits of our labors while fixing all the problems facing Oklahoma today. Truly this is the full and abundant life unlike any we have ever lived before using all the many colors available to paint this portrait of a new life for all the residents in Oklahoma and the World to see. Truly a Catholic Icon of Christ pope Francis "The Church" (Western Europe's NSA) and Europe would be proud of. One we can all hold up together for the World to see as an example. We truly are so blessed to have so much diversity and creativity, simply by having more Liberty and Love than what is available in any other City, State or Country in the World Oklahoma can create the prosperity or if you prefer the karmic activities to bring about the Spiritual and Physical Phenomena needed in this constantly changing state called the Kingdom of Oklahoma addressing not just the physical but also the many spiritual manifestations of poverty that will always be before the eyes of most if not all who walk along this red earth for at least a season in life. The changing state of life is easily seen when we open our eyes to the needs that are always in a state of change around each of us daily. Bringing about the manifestation of Heaven here on Earth occurs when we willingly manifest Love for one another through the various life changing phenomena's we create referred to by many as karmic activities or simply when we reap what we sow.

There are so many older neighborhoods in need of replacement throughout Oklahoma City. Many of the houses here are over a hundred years old and have lasted longer than what is simply possible for most of the homes we are building today. The houses in some of these neighborhoods are as diverse and different as the people who make them their home. Not like the construction we see in the new neighborhoods today. These old homes were built during a time of creativity where individual character and personality where a much bigger part of life than what we experience today in so many ways. People actually sewed the clothes they wore from fabric with pedal powered machines during the day in a room that was lighted by a kerosene lamp at night. Some of these homes even used natural gas for lighting before there was electricity. Many People during this time grew many of the vegetables they ate from the gardens in their own yards next to where they burned their trash in pits. Canning jelly and growing vegetables while raising the children was not a past time it was a necessity to feed the family. Everyone in the family had chores to do to help the family survive and thrive. Some of these neighborhoods even had trolleys for public transportation. It was a much simpler time for some simply because there were not so many distractions, choices and comforts. Luxury was seen in the diversity of housing and with time in the automobiles people drove. Jobs throughout the City provided income which certainly influenced how everyone was able to live then like the case is now. Looking at some of the mansions from the past it is easy to see the impact Oil and Gas has always had on the construction of homes in Oklahoma City. Likewise, it's also easy to see the impact and practicality of the many smaller homes built with incredible quality, architectural character and a personal touch influenced by immigrants with different ideas and desires from a time period influenced less by a love of money and more about European ideals of how Society should be. They even built a Statue of a Lady and named it the Statue of Liberty and put it on an island all by itself with a torch in her hand to remind the minds in America of the need for Liberty and Love above all else! Thank you France!!!

A big part of what made America and these times great is the unique common interest of everyone to build a better life. One with Liberty and Love that was desired by so many but not available to so many for so long in their home countries throughout Europe. My mother's parents came from Czechoslovakia and settled in Pennsylvanian to make a better life. Her parents were small people about 5 feet tall. Likely related not just to the family genes you see they were very poor people without access to enough food to eat during childhood in Europe. My grandfather on my dad's side was Dutch his wife was a Native American His family came a little earlier from Europe than my Mother's family for the same reasons. The poverty my father was raised in was incredible. This was a time when people actually understood each other so much better because of the many struggles that everyone bore and helped each other bear. There was no fantasy to escape the reality like there is today when we view television. Radio was the best entertainment available for about an hour or so a night powered by a battery charged by a small wind generator attached to the shack where some people lived, these are a few of the stories my father told me as a child. When my father was a child his mother divorced his abusive and drunk dad who could not stay sober after returning from not only WWI but also WWII. She had 4 children to raise and no money so she got a job as a librarian at a time when being a single working mother was not common. One of the Colored families that lived down the dirt road from the two room shack this single mother with 4 kids lived in near Fort Gibson Oklahoma gave her a pig one year so her children would have some meat to eat beside the occasional rabbit my dad who happened to be the oldest son would catch in traps made from hollow trees and wooden crates using wooden sticks as a trigger. He did this most winter days without good shoes and sometimes socks after returning from school. All while only living on a diet of pinto beans and rice and a few plain biscuits daily each day for years. Without the help from this family I do not know how the hungry children in my family would have even survived. Black lives do matter to me, always have and always will. Today it can be easy for many people in Oklahoma to complain about helping others of certain skin color and nationality. It even appears to be a favorite past time for some. We have most all likely forgotten at least for a while why our families came here to America from Europe in the first place. It was because of a dream to make a better life for themselves and their families in a place with Liberty and Love!

Chapter 5

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind

The four gates often called the four elements are the four unchanging primary elements in the universe. In summary, this system of four elements all point to the fundamental elements in the physical world. If one's view of reality is limited by such a perspective, one will develop into a materialist, indeed this system is the predecessor of materialism. Can you see "The four gates are all empty" (si da jie kong ) and need to be dissolved or "emptied". Just like the Love of money is the root of all evil.

I am currently reading an amazing book titled "Orthodox Chinese Buddhism" on page 113 it mentions "The four elements discussed in Buddhism are taken from ancient Indian thought but are understood in a deeper and Buddhist manner. The four elements of earth, water, fire and wind are the primary elements of the physical world, and can be paired with a variety of phenomena. In terms of the outer world, mountains and earth pertain to the earth element, oceans and rivers pertain to the water element, sunlight and heat pertain to the fire element, and the air and air currents pertain to the wind element. If the four elements are used to describe human physiology, then hair, bone, and flesh pertain to the earth elements; the blood and secretions pertain to the water element; body heat pertains to the fire element; and breadth pertains to the wind element. If the four elements are paired with their physical characteristics, then solidity pertains to the earth element, moisture pertains to the water element, warmth pertains to the fire element, and fluidity pertains to the wind element. No matter how the four elements are analyzed, they describe only the physical world, not the spiritual or mental world. So whereas materialists claim the four elements are the root source of the universe, Buddhist do not agree with this claim at all". Buddhism advocates conditioned arising of the consciousness, not materialism and the four aggregates of forms.

We must acknowledge we all live in both the Physical realm perhaps temporarily and/or as some people believe even intermittently while also residing in the Spiritual realm eternally. So how does this conscious mindful view affect the utilization of these precious resource elements of earth, water, fire, wind and I add steel to Oklahoma both materially and physically. How can we mindfully advocate for their proper use in a spiritual way for the benefit of bringing about the conditioned arising of the consciousness of the many diverse individuals and businesses throughout Oklahoma? The answer of course is with Innovation, Liberty, and Love with their proper use anything can happen any physical problem we see can be solved.

"If the spiritual realm creates the physical realm this is referred to as a wonder, but if out of this corrupt imperfect always changing physical realm the Spiritual realm is created then It truly is the wonder of wonders, I truly believe this out of the nothingness and emptiness of the four gates the eternal spiritual is made."

### Chapter 6

### Oklahoma the land of Liberty, Love and Legal Prostitution

There are always 2 sides to every coin and Oklahoma is no different. What appears to be a Legal right or to be illegal at face value is not how things actually work so often in Oklahoma. Here's a case in point Gay Conversion Therapy administered by the federalized state version of the NSA in Oklahoma on straight foreign female members and male LGBT members of Christian communities. In fact, could appear to have turned Christianity into a heresy and actually made the straight female members who agree to marry and submit to sex and at times demand abstinence while exerting extreme psychological influence on the male LGBT members as directed by the NSA operatives into actual prostitutes, liars, cheats and thief's if these activities are actually happening. Or these women could be viewed as amazing Saints sacrificing so much for the love of others. Like everything else in life the way we view the world determines our view. These NSA operatives masquerading as Priests can be viewed as Pimps if they promise these young vulnerable foreign women US Citizenship and good paying jobs in exchange for a few years of this type of service all in the name of Christianity and Love of God by telling them they are helping others to attain the virtues. I would assume they also remind them often how they will be rewarded here and hereafter for their service to the United States of America. Of course these NSA Operatives are watching the lives of these couples unfold in real time through visits Sunday morning Saturday evening during confessions as well as through the surveillance system installed in their homes. The same operatives even have the ability to glean information from the computers of the women performing these services who may hold managerial positions with the big four accounting firms trading stocks and making money with this secret information.

So I must ask how do you view these disclosures does the thought of sex trafficking, prostitution, financial fraud, insider trading come to mind how about tortuous interference by government employees into the lives of LGBT member or are they simply acts of Love from the good gardeners or should we say God gardeners that operate perhaps in my state of Oklahoma and across America.

I would like to ask these NSA operatives what they consider this activity to be if they are indeed happening are they their legal right to Liberty since they are working directly for the buearocracy who are in control of the state of Oklahoma and every other state across America. Are the people running Oklahoma and all the other states even able to honestly acknowledge this happening? I wonder how long all this has possibly been going on while they deny this is even happening? I wonder how the powerful who are in control and who would actually be responsible for allowing any of these type of activities and possibly even more to happen view their legal right to govern like this.

Is all this just their fiefdom (kingdom) and everyone simply an indentured servant nothing more.

To some these types of Government behavior in the New World Order most certainly cross the lines of what any educated American citizen would consider legitimate government activities. The sex trafficking and prostitution physical and psychological stress of false arrests to cover up these grossly illegal activities is unthinkable.

According to the American medical community Gay conversion therapy is not successful. It has failed to change the sexual orientation or behavior of countless individuals and in fact has resulted in the increase of an untold number of suicides and other psychological problems.

Obviously these types of behaviors would have resulted in numerous failed marriages that often produce children who then have to bear the added burden and sorrows of broken homes unknowingly because of what could be referred to as tortuous interference of NSA operatives masquerading as Priests who are actually Pimps getting a salary from the Government and a salary payed from the tithes of these local Christian communities.

These various types of Government behavior may appear as grossly unethical, illegal, immoral and actually a traumatic crucifixion for the male LGBT members who also happen to include disabled veterans like myself who have been purposely turned away for necessary medical care including cognitive behavior therapy from a licensed psychologist. Needed surgical procedures and physical therapy while at the same time being denied disability compensation. I view this to have been my set of circumstances it has been difficult for me to not view this whole multiyear event as a form of punishment and purification through crucifixion all in the name of Western Christianity. Today I hold no opinion personally if this is right or wrong in itself. I certainly wanted to change had confessed my sins honestly and only sought guidance and help with humility. Would one be truly misguided if I was of the opinion that anyone possibly lost the true teachings of Christianity or the true meaning of the Eucharist which is the actual blood and body of Christ.

I had no hope to change while worshipping according to western teachings in the Baptist church that has long rejected the truth that Christ is all and in all and that this is the Kingdom of Heaven and Deification is the purpose for all of mankind.

Unfortunately for the citizens of the Western side of Christianity this has been the case for more than a thousand years. And perhaps the reason why we have so many different ideas of right and wrong, good and evil simply put the way we view all events are reflected by the stereotypes we have all passed down through the centuries in every society some labels make it hard to accept and love ourselves our family members as they are unconditional does this not actually define equality.

Recently the Supreme Court approved marriage for same sex couples. To some people this brings great hope that in a reasonably foreseeable period of time these types of behaviors will no longer be common or allowed to be inflicted on any person who identifies as a member of any Christian faith in America. Unfortunately, there are many people who would not like to lose the right they believe they have to govern the people of their state as they see fit. Some of the individuals are trying to enact the change they want with the Article V Convention of States available according to our Constitution to restore their so called liberty and their right to administer state government. Some of these people would like to repeal Marriage equality, Healthcare reform, Criminal justice reform, and Legal marijuana among other things. To them Liberty and Love for the common folks are the sides of a totally different coin, one they do not want to allow to be in circulation for anyone. To them the Love of this money is the root of all evil and they have been pushing their point in the form of religious freedom legal cases from companies as large as Hobby Lobby in the Supreme Court fighting for the right to refuse or exclude certain types of medicines and medical procedures, even birth control to women based on religious beliefs. Over 40 Private colleges are now being allowed to discriminate according to their religious beliefs and it looks like more will pursue this approach all in the name of Love of God and Christianity. There is Hope when there is Liberty and Love for all others. Christ is all and in all. We are all the members of the body of Christ and the Sons of God!!! This is the Kingdom of Heaven Not Hell when we step out of the tombs and walk on the path to life in the kingdom of heaven that is at hand today.

### Chapter 7

### building the Kingdom of Heaven in Oklahoma

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, it is out of the Physical and ever changing realm that the eternal Spiritual realm is made right here right now. Yesterday is a cancelled check tomorrow is a promissory note today is where the money is made. The love of this two sided coin named Liberty and Love is the money we can all put our faith in and work for tirelessly and spend freely to purchase the freedom of everyone enslaved with every sorrow, fear and illness. Building the Kingdom of Oklahoma, a Heaven and paradise for everyone! I hope you are becoming as excited as I am now. What a future we have before us. A purpose driven life no longer a 40-day fast or 40-year journey in the desert. We are now in the Promised land full of milk and honey. The size of each grape that grows here is the size of the peaches that grew on the trees where we came from. The people who live here are all giants truly sons of God!

It is a land that no Army of Darkness Can Conquer and No Thief of Satan can Steal from it is Enlightened.

Oklahoma has an abundance of Earth some of which makes great farm land. We even have some of the best land to raise cattle and animals of all kinds. We truly are blessed even though we have been divided by a history of Wars, Slavery, Rebellions and continue causing pollution and truly incredible injustices. We are still a young Country and State. We have so much less bad Karma to deal with than some places because we have not sown so much evil in all its many forms. We are a simple common people one with family values and a strong work ethic. We truly believe a worker is worthy of his wages. We trust in God not money (God is Love). We even believe in the mercy of god and desire this more than condemnation that's why so many of us claim to be of the Christian faith. It wasn't so long ago in our families that out-houses were the only toilet we had to relieve ourselves in. We have had hard times and so many good times because of the Liberty and Love available to all freely because of the sacrifices of our many Veterans who happen to be members of most all our families. We can certainly raise the jersey cows and goats to have more than enough milk for all our children. If we stop using pesticides on our crops we can even have enough bees and honey for all our needs. Pollinating all our crops that need pollinating producing organic fruits, vegetables and meats for so many more people than what currently live in our truly Great state full with Liberty, Love and Justice as the rule of all our Laws when we act with Ethics...

Oklahoma is also a land with tremendous diversity. We are so fortunate to have so many different influences on every part of our society. We have some of the best Psychologist, Doctors, Surgeons and medical care available anywhere if we can just mindfully embrace the truths all these people hold and contemplate the need for change among ourselves. Our Leaders here often only want change that begins from the top of their chain of command straight from the horse's mouth. Simple country folks living here know that sometimes you need to shoot a copperhead snake in the head to kill it.

Oklahomans even have access to spiritual truths through Buddhist monks here to help us realize how we can mindfully live here in the Kingdom of Heaven free from the burdens of the thoughts we carry in our own mind.

Oklahoma has an amazing ability to be involved and actually create some unique situations both physically and spiritually all from a Love of money and attempt to help others even sometimes by acting unethically and immorally. As I mentioned earlier it is out of the ever changing physical world that the eternal spiritual world is made. This even happens sometimes because someone in Oklahoma is abused even crucified by "The Church" and fights back for everyone against the corruption at the heart of all this revealing a truth even the truth of the Kingdom of heaven that has been hidden and unrealized for so long. Everything happens in Oklahoma as it rightfully should after all this is the Kingdom of Oklahoma, a Kingdom of Heaven, a paradise available to all who can mindfully and with contemplation travel the path of the straight and narrow by Loving all others by helping all others attain the Virtues which are the same in every Major religion. All of this is simply available because of the immeasurable Liberty and Love given be so many others an uncountable number of times! This is our history in the land of the Red man, White man, Black man, Tan man, Yellow man and Yes LGBT men and women of every race. Surely you too have heard the old not so funny joke about Oklahoma. There is nothing but Steers and Queers in Oklahoma and I don't see any horns on your head. Oklahomans always do what needs to be done to overcome whatever adversity comes our way. We also always figure out how to get the Oil out of the ground and get the things we want even maybe when we shouldn't try quite so hard. We Oklahomans also show the World how to address seemingly unsolvable problems even ones involving Severe Chronic Pain and Mental illness all without the continued dependence on Opioids and other medications. All because we have access to an amazing diversity of people with so much, faith, love, understanding, knowledge, drive and sheer will power from so many cultures who mindfully encourage and lend a helping hand to each other in this Great Kingdom of Heaven named Oklahoma. I love Oklahoma so much always have and always will. I must admit I also love being with my family and friends in Taiwan when it gets cold here but in the summer this is where I want to be no matter how many tornadoes and earthquakes come my way Oklahoma is simply home sweet home to me!

Wind is what Oklahoma is really known for

This is the land where the wind comes sweeping down the plains. We can and do have amazing wind power potential and will certainly have more and realize actually so much more through continued innovation and technology. The wind also represents the free spirit of Love and Liberty that is the life blood than runs through the veins of so many Oklahomans. This Holiness of God a love for all others is the mindfulness that will always be present in the families that give a pig to the single mother of four children who lives in a two room shack down the dirt road. Providing food to feed her children who will father the sons and daughters who too will contribute so much so many uncountable times for Liberty and Love for everyone in this Kingdom named Oklahoma.

We teach our children to stand up for the weak the old and frail and all those who are down trodden and carrying a heavy burden. We understand we should never kick a person when they are down on the ground because of any illness whether of spiritual, mental or physical nature caused willingly, unwillingly, knowingly, and unknowingly we simply bear each other's burdens out of love and with liberty understanding except for the grace of god their go we.

Pride is something we always shun, we always think we are the greatest of sinners and will even prove it when it needs to be proven causing everyone looking to sin by judging us when they cannot judge themselves and see what they are doing is wrong and causing pain. Some of us have very open minds even believing Christ looks like the eternal Tao. Many of us agree Christ is all and in all, even some are thought of as Buddha's and all can be known as a Muslim when we do Gods will and help others to attain the Virtues. We see the truth and recognize the false hood told all too often in the news. We see the geopolitics around us always. Seeing the eternal truth, we understand we are the ones who make a new heaven and new earth and that we are all the sons of God that we implore with our prayers each night when we ask Jesus Christ the son of God to have mercy on us the greatest of sinners! As hard as it may seem to some we know the world is not how it appears.

It is our family tradition to teach our children the truth about the need for Liberty and Love for all others reminding them of the need to keep this tradition going since blood is always thicker than water and no matter what ever happens we will always need to be there for each other, this is what family is all about. That is the love my mother and father had for me they would do whatever they thought was necessary to save my soul from burning in Hell a place they thought I would go when I died if I didn't change. This brings us to the term of fire mentioned above. Fire represents so many things Oklahoma has an abundance of like natural gas that can be used to fire bricks in a portable kiln, power our cities and development, even providing jobs and housing for so many others out of Love the same kind of love my parents had for me that enabled them like countless other Oklahoman families to subject their children to the fire and purification promised with Gay conversion therapy by local priests and pastors who likely chomped at the pit for the opportunity to create through innovation trial and error yes basically experimentations that could result in torment for LGBT members of the Oklahoma Christian community. Let me ask you, now that you see the amazing love we all have for each other to help each other along life's journey on the path of Love of all others the straight in narrow path would you actually still find it necessary even approve allowing your child to endure this type of suffering at the hands of the NSA and CIA. Many Oklahoma children like myself could have committed murder and their parents would have been there for them no questions asked. However wrong and misguided this type of thinking may be. It's actually very common to Oklahomans who are known all too often for not contemplating the effects of their actions done in the name of love! Actions that often result in unplanned teen pregnancies and abortions by children pretending to be adults acting only like their parents who walked along this red earth before them. Oklahoma is number 2 in the nation in teen birth rates and last in the nation for birth rates of women 30-40 years old what if this was reversed would the parents of our children be better parents and examples if they waited until they had mindfully found the ability to change the bad behaviors each of us has to overcome to climb the ladder of divine ascent.

If my parents and the priest were simply mindful that everyone and everything is always changing and that maybe I had already changed my mind about how I wanted to live after the first failed marriage to the woman I truly loved more than I should have. They could have avoided causing me and 2 other Christian women one of whom I now have a beautiful child with so much more pain and suffering. All the added misery and suffering caused by delays and denials in medical care and benefits didn't of itself deify me or change my mind. I did further cement my unwavering desire for Liberty and Love for all others resulting in even the divine revelation about this being the Kingdom of Heaven and the truth about marriage equality that stems from the scripture that in the Kingdom of heaven there is neither Jew nor Greek, Bond nor free, male nor female, Christ is all and in all. I personally do not think most people could endure the same misfortune of severe Chronic pain, Anxiety and depression that were all made worse and at times better by the gay conversion therapy I endured. The poisoning with anthrax and the many other attempts on my life were simply the proof of the power of deification that comes when someone becomes a son of God, a Buddha by fighting for what is truly right Liberty and Love for all others. Our founding fathers had a good understanding of how The Love of Money would eventually effect our thinking so they created pure Silver Liberty dollars and paper currencies that state in God We Trust (Love We Trust) to help remind us along our journey. Even Knowing that the statue of Liberty would help keep us mindful of the need for Liberty and Love for one another. They understood the falsehood and heresy Western Christianity "The Church" had fallen into and the need for mindfulness they even contemplated the truth that Liberty and Love would prevail and that deification was actually Gods purpose for all of mankind. That's why America is called One Nation under God and is founded on the principle of separation of "The Church" and state. With Liberty and Love they understood we could create one race called the human race and one religion called Love!

The statue of Liberty is located on an Island. To get there you have to go through the water that signifies a type of spiritual washing that could provide our mind many spiritual benefits if done with contemplation, meditation and prayer of the heart.

I must now ask do you know of any other state fortunate as Oklahoma to have so much clean, abundant fresh water truly the source of all forms of life, without it nothing can survive, with it even a desert will become an oasis. This natural resource cannot only help clean our minds through baptism it can also provide the undeniable source of life for all the many organic crops and animals this kingdom can produce to save the world from hunger. Providing wholesome nourishing food that quenches our uncontrollable desire to over eat that occurs all too often when we eat processed chemically laden food produced with less than honorable intentions from a company owned but headquartered someplace in western Europe so they can avoid paying what some would consider low extremely fair taxes in America the place this revenue was made. This healthy organic food is a large part of the healthy lifestyle Oklahoma could mindfully promote to other Kingdoms (States) to help them also to become a land of Giants. Water has so many other uses we often take for granted without it we cannot grow the trees needed for continued construction. Without enough water we would simply be living in and through another dustbowl caused in large part by our past mistakes when we did not contemplate the long term effects our unbridled farming and timber industry development were having on everything from the land to the economy. Destroyed in part by the loss of so many trees that effected the ability of the red soil to hold, store and retain rain water which was complicated further by the mostly always blowing strong winds in Oklahoma. Mindfully we can see how this caused the loss of more than the food that was no longer available on our tables. In many parts of Oklahoma grass could not even take root and grow during this unfortunate time of change in our history.

I must ask do you think we will be doomed to repeat the failures in our past if we lose sight in the future of the need for Love and Liberty for all others and instead become the land where some people have the unquestionable Liberty to inflict their now obviously flawed personal religious believes on everyone else who believes in Deification, Mindfulness, Meditation, Prayer, Fasting, and of Course Helping Others to Attain the Virtues in the Kingdom of Heaven that is at hand. The more things change the more they actually stay the same. Things in Oklahoma will always change sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Deification attaining the Virtues along with Holistic Healthcare is a valid solution for creating a Kingdom of Heaven in Oklahoma, closing the gates that lead all too often to Hell for far too many Veterans and certainly the many others in Oklahoma who are not able to Change the Thoughts in their Minds because of Stereotypes and Views they hold of what is Good or Evil and therefore continue to Fail at Changing Their Own Personal Flaws and Views simply because they lack the Knowledge, Hope and Faith needed since they cannot Contemplate Gods Purpose of Deification which is freely available to all in the teachings from Holy Mother Russia at any Russian Orthodox Church in Russia and all her Monasteries Abroad.

Anger comes from our thoughts about how we view things this is the root cause of our personal behaviors including when we mindfully neglect the need to act ethically like the delays and denials in medical care and disability benefits we have all seen happen to our nations veterans at the hands of our state beaurocrates who administer them. This too simply appears to have happened perhaps out of a love for money. These are some of the same people who are advocating for the Convention of States Article V Convention. The Conventions held in our past are responsible for the Jim Crow laws in our Nation's history. People in power back then did not want to be accountable for treating everyone with Liberty and Love. This undeniable lack of love and desire to deny liberty is the source of the Jim Crow laws and so many other difficult periods in our Nation's history. Including the Delays and Denials in Healthcare and Benefits to our nations Veterans. Recently I saw one of Oklahoma's Senators Mr. James Lankford in the halls of the Oklahoma City VA Hospital, a couple days later he emphasized his point of view in a news article published on Newsok.com that the Veterans Hospital is responsible for treating Veterans for their service connected problems the wording of the story created the appearance that they were only responsible to treat service connected problems. This is unfortunate and truly inaccurate Mr. Lankford was a youth minister who served at falls creek. He replaced Senator Coburn who was referred to often as Dr. No. for not helping Oklahoma's Veterans enough. Surely he has Contemplated the Need to Acquire the Virtues or so one might assume unfortunately this may not be the case he could think it does not matter what lies he tells or if he cheats and steals from our Veterans. Perhaps his thinking is all you have to do is believe Jesus died for your sins and nothing else really matters this is a heresy. If this is his actual believe he is so mistaken because this is The Kingdom of Heaven according to the Gospels and Deification is the purpose for everyone here today. This is acquired by helping others to attain the virtues and Mindfully is being accomplished with Cognitive Behavior Therapy from licensed psychologist at the Oklahoma City Veterans Hospital.

Mr. Lankford Honesty is a Virtue and so is Love of all others which is demonstrated when with Love we provide the medical care which in many cases we are legally obligated to provide to veterans for non-service related injuries and illnesses. Please do not forget the true teachings of God and what our actual veteran benefits are again!

Enlightenment is The state of clarity and tranquility of the Mind

A restless mind is like having a mind with monkeys, when we cannot control our angry monkey we look terrible and our words will be harsh, hurtful, and untruthful. When we are mindful of this anger we learn to be an observer instead of a practitioner of anger and lies. When we then mindfully contemplate our thoughts we strengthen good thoughts and eradicate bad thoughts. Being able to control emotions is being in a state of pure awareness understanding the nature behind all phenomena's, events. We can then understand the nature of everything.

A restless mind is like water when dirty and stirred often it becomes cloudy and muddy losing its transparency, like muddy water when we stay in a destructive motion we lack transparency, honesty and keep hurting others. With meditation we can stop stirring the muddy water and in time the dirt will settle to the bottom. Until we remove the dirt we will not purify the mind.

A restless mind is like a mirror when it is dirty it does not reflect the truth.

Texas governor calls for constitutional Convention

1/8/2016 Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for a constitutional convention of states to offer nine amendments in order to "restore the Rule of Law and return the Constitution to its intended purpose."

The nine proposed amendments are:

1-Prohibit Congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one State. Prevent congress from using interstate commerce act to control and regulate business.

2-Require Congress to balance its budget. This could gut all spending except for defense, public health and spending for Veterans benefits...

3-Prohibit administrative agencies-and unelected bureaucrats that staff them- from creating federal law. This could affect put an end to NSA surveillance activities that are designed to catch even root out corruption at the state level from beaurocrates. Like the delays and denials in Veterans healthcare and benefits.

4-Prohibit administrative agencies- and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them from preempting state law. This could allow for the continuation of illegally obtained parallel evidence being used to convict people of crimes.

5-Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

6-Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court Decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law.

7-Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.

8-Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bounds.

9-Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a federal law or regulation.

When we change how we think we actually change our behaviors which also changes our view of the World. Likewise, we can all see there are always two sides to every coin and not everything that appears to be illegal is actually not happening from the people who define what is legal and illegal nor are these activities actually Good or Evil in themselves. An example could be made of the over 1.5 billion gallons of waste water produced yearly in Oklahoma by the oil and gas industry. Water is neither pure or impure it is neutral our minds create the label we use to define it depending on the way we view the World. In this case how we view our need for drinking water to raise our children, crops and animals today, tomorrow and over the next hundred years!

In 2001 before my divorce to my first wife was finalized I stopped having sex with female prostitutes and other men. I must admit my struggle with this and pornography continued for years, I even mindfully used pornography while yes playing with my little brother many times knowing the NSA was watching to demonstrate to the NSA and our Beaurocrates how painful and destructive their unethical behavior was. All is fair in Love and War and as a veteran I was mindful that it is always easier to conquer by dividing your enemy. This has been a long War with many battles being fought, many happening even before I was born for Americas Veterans and the need for Healthcare and benefits reform. During one my early battles I had a conversation letting the VA and the NSA know thru surveillance that I had a purpose for saying and doing everything that I said and did as it pertains to the issues I was raising. Of course they thought I was crazy when I told them this and more. As an example I presented the thought of a scale. I demonstrated by holding my arms sideways showing them on the scale where my wife was in all this next the point where the government was currently and then illustrating that I was twice as far ahead as the government. I was mindful and one might even say I contemplated what I said and did. As a Russian Orthodox Christian I knew that the last way Satan deceives us and causes us to sin is by tempting us to judge one another. So I created the opportunity for them to do this knowing all along that they could not resist the temptation of judging me as a member of the LGBT community. Later by helping them to see that even their conclusion of my physical condition and prognosis along with the determination they had made long ago of my Spiritual and mental state including possible addictions to porn were nothing but a false judgement in the end. They could not help but see they had sinned so many times before now judging themselves for the delays and denials in medical care and disability compensation. Like Christ my Struggles for Liberty and Love for all others has been the path I followed. I will never say I have been cured or anything of this nature actually everything is always in a state of change. I will certainly testify to the ability within all of us to change any behavior or thoughts when we Mindfully get our Minds to Submit to the Place in our Heart where God resides in All of Us.

I must admit this was not taught to me by the priest who administered the Gay conversion therapy Father Anthony Nelson in fact he does not actually believe the Russian Orthodox Christian church teaches this as Gods purpose he is mistaken. I learned this truth and more from a few multi day visits at Hermitage of the Holy Cross Monastery in West Virginia and by reading a few Orthodox Christian Books some written hundreds of years earlier like Unseen Warfare as edited by Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain and revised by Theophan the Recluse the original work is from around 1642. This is where I learned the country of your birth has your political protection and the Country of your Religious affiliation has your ecclesiastical protection. I gave the Oklahoma City VA hospital a copy of this book during another of the earlier battles the doctor put in my notes that I gave him a book about soldiers fighting unseen enemy's these statements were not true in fact nothing was further from the truth. I told him how Russia was actually considered Holy Mother Russia and was one of the holiest countries on earth a few hundred years earlier. I told him the story of spiritual warfare outlined in the book it really talks about the importance of Liberty and Love, Mindfulness, Watchfulness and Contemplation. He should have paid better attention to what I was saying about the need to take care of our Veterans instead of trying to retaliate and make me look mentally unstable with his medical notes for filing a tort claim lol.

I knew I had to somehow awaken the Russian Bear, Holy Mother Russia to aid me in my struggle for Liberty and Love. I was aware Russia had sold the United States Alaska and actually established the first Christian church in North America. Later I would learn Russia never actually received compensation for this purchase by the way the church is still standing today. In fact, I have actually met one of the former priests from this particular parish who was transporting the Kursk Root Icon a miracle working Icon that happens to travel constantly to different parishes. In fact, this Icon spent the night in my house along with two priest tasked will taking it to its next destination. I could see how one could consider Russia as one of our Founding Fathers and that The United States was actually a business nothing was actually how it had appeared in grade school, high school or College. Just like Holy Mother Russia always helps me spiritually with all my needs she has mindfully protected me and my family numerous times I am so thankful. The book I have written titled the Kingdom of Heaven would not have been possible without her and Chinas help! I am now continuing my journey seeking enlightenment at the Buddha Mind Monastery in Oklahoma following the example left by other Russian Orthodox Christian monks and priests who before me went to China to seek understanding and truth. Last night I went to my first class on meditation and listened to a dharma talk. The Geopolitics of Europe and religion in the New World order have obviously prevented the Russian Orthodox church in Oklahoma City from getting an authentic Russian Orthodox Christian Priest from Holy Mother Russia thus preventing me and so many others from learning the truth of Deification and the fact that this is the Kingdom of Heaven as revealed in the Gospel according to Christ. Living the life, the church has taught me has set me free in so many ways. Thankfully Holy Mother Russia has provided Monasteries throughout America mindfully helping those who trust in the scriptural truth, those who seek shall find.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. -John1:1

### Chapter 8

### Local Co-op uses steel to solve one of Oklahoma's biggest problems!

Addressing Chronic Pain too often only by prescribing opioids has created an epidemic of Opioid addiction that has undeniably caused the death of a countless number of individuals in Oklahoma and across the nation who died from drug overdoses and the many other additional side effects of using only medications to manage illnesses in America. These additional illnesses caused so often by actions that did not actually address the root cause of the medical problem in the first place has indeed resulted in an increase in the number of cases of Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood pressure, and Suicide by causing so many people to suffer so much mentally and physically because of Depression, Anxiety and untreated Severe Chronic Pain.

So you're asking where can I find this amazing Co-op that is using steel to address with treatments that actually work very well and help all these problems without the use of medication? Contact DR. Karen Wilson, here address is 4301 NW 63rd Street suite 202, Oklahoma City, Ok 73116. Her phone number is (405) 255-3193 her fax number is (405) 255-3191 She is part of a Co-op of acupuncturists who have decided to make this amazing treatment affordable to almost everyone the Co-ops offer treatments that can take a few hours for only $15-$40 per session based on a sliding disposal income scale no questions asked they also accept insurance. If you are fortunate to be a Veteran in Oklahoma, any Oklahoma VAMC can farm you out to one of them through the Choice Program approved by Congress. All you have to do is call your Primary Care team and request acupuncture, since there is currently a 4 month wait at the Oklahoma City VA hospital you can call 1 (866) 606-8198 the phone number on your Veterans Choice Card and they will get you an appointment with her or another member of the coop within about a week after you contact your primary Care doctor and get him or her to put in a consult for an appointment. The Oklahoma City VA Hospital is becoming very efficient and doing an amazing job helping Veterans in Oklahoma to get the medical care they need quickly so as in my case I don't have to cause further damage to my Kidneys, Liver and Mind by using Opioids and other Medications to Manage and Treat my Chronic pain, Depression and Anxiety. I am sure we will continue to read about VA hospital failures that is why I want to point out their accomplishments which in actuality far exceed the mistakes every human makes. I am including some of the information from the first book of this series titled Kingdom of Heaven which is also rebranded as Unseen Warfare as it applies to the incredible help I received from the Oklahoma City VA Hospital and countless unknown individuals from around the world including fellow Oklahomans who helped me to create the path outlined in detail below.

If you know someone who is suffering from Severe Chronic Pain, Anxiety or Depression there may be a better life, then the current life they may be living if they are only taking Opioids and other medications.

My ordeal began with a car accident in January 2002. This occurred a few months after getting divorced from my first wife, Angela. I mention this because I want to discuss how anxiety, depression, and severe chronic pain are related. To truly understand how these three villains rob us of happiness and peace, I would first like to provide a simple definition of each so there is no misunderstanding. Most of the information below can be found on the National Institutes of Health's website. They have more research-based clinical information than perhaps any place else on the Internet. Their web address is www.nimh.nih.gov.

At the end of this chapter, you will see how even the NIH realizes how ineffective the current medical therapies in Western society actually are for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Throughout this book, you will find more options that you and your physician can discuss during your next doctor's visit.

I offer what has worked for me. I believe most, if not all, of these options will also work for you and your loved ones. It will certainly take time and commitment, but progress is achievable with God's grace and help. In the beginning it won't be easy, but the effort will get easier as your life and health improves. In time you will find it will be a small challenge to enjoy the life you desire and love.

Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Pain.

Anxiety. The National Institutes of Health describes anxiety as an uneasy sensation arising from the fear of a terrible outcome. Such fear creates tension in your body, causing your muscles to tighten, and affects your nerves, which in turn can result in queasiness and a state of prolonged agitation. Digestion and ability to sleep are also affected. This anxiety is a natural reaction linked to self-preservation, to keep you on edge against threats. The problem is chronic anxiety, which persists and is based on unfounded or irrational fears. These fears and the anxiety they cause rob your life of joy and make it difficult to enjoy socializing with others.

Such fears are often the result of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which is manifested from exaggerated worries and produces an elevated level of tension. These worries stem from gloomy concerns over impending disasters involving relationships, finances, health issues, or problems at work. Often nothing visible triggers such anxieties, and sometimes the uncertainties of getting through the day can be enough to cause a continuing, disturbing tension.

GAD is diagnosed when a person's anxiety over everyday problems interferes with the ability to live comfortably over a period of at least six months. People with GAD have trouble concentrating, they startle easily, and they can't sleep. Additional symptoms include muscle aches and tension, headaches, fatigue, dry mouth and difficulty swallowing, tremors, hot flashes, excessive sweating, nausea, dizziness, frequent trips to the bathroom, and feeling out of breath.

With mild GAD, people can interact socially and hold down a job. But when anxiety increases, people with GAD have trouble accomplishing even simple routine tasks. About 6.8 million people are affected by GAD—twice as many women as men. GAD can arise at any time in one's life, though the highest risk appears between childhood and middle age. Genes may also affect one's predisposition to GAD.

Substance abuse, depression, and other anxiety disorders may occur with GAD, which seldom appears alone. GAD can be treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy or medication. However, treatment of co-occurring disorders requires the appropriate therapies to address the triggering causes of the anxieties.

Anxiety disorders of all types affect around forty million Americans age eighteen and older. Such disorders last at least six months and can worsen if not treated. Effective and improving therapies can help most people suffering with GAD lead productive and healthy lives. If you suspect you are suffering with an anxiety disorder, seek information and treatment right away.

Depression. When anxiety persists to the point that it controls your life, you are most likely suffering from depression. Worry, despair, and hopelessness spiral into a persistent malaise that produces unceasing mental anguish and intensifies physical pain. Restful, restorative sleep becomes impossible. Given this troublesome scenario, let me give you hope about a better tomorrow. Thanks to my therapies and dedication to improve, I'm now relaxed and sleep like a baby. My depression was so severe that I couldn't sleep and had to get up at least five times a night to pee.

Major depressive disorder—depression—is a serious mental illness. Depression affects your mind, behavior, and body. It's associated with other health problems such as chronic pain. Proper treatment is crucial, as addressing more than one problem at a time can be a challenge.

Depression: what are the signs and symptoms?

Do you feel:

-Sad, anxious, or empty?

-Worthless, guilty, or hopeless?

-Restless or irritable?

-Constantly fatigued?

-Scatterbrained and having difficulty remembering details or making decisions?

-Constantly sleepy or having difficulty falling or staying asleep?

-A loss of appetite or do you overeat?

-A loss of interest in activities once enjoyable, including sex?

-Obsessed with thoughts of death or suicide?

-Persistent aches and pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that are not alleviated with treatment?

Chronic pain. Pain that continues for weeks, months, and even years is called chronic pain. Regular pain medication does little to help. While some chronic pain may have a definitive origin—such as an infection, injury, or long-term disease—some chronic pain may have no obvious cause. Like depression, chronic pain can disturb your sleep and daily routine, reducing your quality of life.

What's the Connection Between Depression and Chronic Pain?

Physicians and medical scientists don't completely understand how depression and chronic pain are linked, though it is known that both occur together. Chronic pain can intensify the symptoms of depression and increases the risk of suicide in people who are depressed. Such unrelenting anxiety and pain may cause someone in those circumstances to lose the will to live.

Common symptoms of depression are body aches and pains. Research indicates that the more severe the depression, the more intense the pain. Studies have also shown that people suffering from depression have a higher-than-normal level of proteins called cytokines. These proteins transmit messages from the immune system to the cells about how to respond to infection and disease, including the duration and strength of the response. When this happens, cytokines can initiate pain by inducing inflammation as a response to infection or injury. Such inflammation protects the body by isolating the damaged tissue and removing or destroying intrusions, such as harmful bacteria. The symptoms of inflammation include redness, swelling, heated tissue, neuropathy, and occasionally the loss of function of the affected area, such as in the hands and feet.

Research on inflammation points to a connection between depression and illness. Continued study on this connection will help find improved ways to diagnose and treat depression.

Another disorder that may occur with depression is fibromyalgia, a condition responsible for fatigue, chronic muscle pain, and tender points on the body being especially sensitive to even light pressure. People diagnosed with fibromyalgia are more prone to suffer from depression and other mental illnesses than the population at large. Both depression and fibromyalgia share risk factors and treatments. In men, fibromyalgia is diagnosed as myofascial pain.

Treatment of Depression in People Suffering Chronic Pain

The most common treatments for depression include:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy that assists people in changing negative thinking patterns and harmful behaviors that can contribute to depression.

The prescribed use of medications:

-Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), a type of antidepressant medication that includes citalopram (Celexa), sertraline (Zoloft), and fluoxetine (Prozac).

-Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), a type of antidepressant medication similar to SSRI that includes venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta).

People living with chronic pain and depression may be able to manage their symptoms through lifestyle changes. If we too want to live in paradise like Adam and Eve, we also have to eat more from the garden of the Eden where we live. Locally grown, non-GMO, and organic vegetables contain both the prebiotics and probiotics missing from much of our food supply today. This in turn prevents the absorption of so many of the nutrients that a healthy mind and body need. The saying "we are what we eat" has never been more true. The Western diet so prevalent in America is responsible for many of our modern health problems: physical, mental, and spiritual as well, since we now understand how important it is to get the mind to submit to the will of the heart—the throne where God resides in all of us.

In my opinion, all the additive chemicals in processed foods, genetically modified foods, pesticides, and yes, the over-prescription of medications, have damaged our thyroids and endocrine systems, affecting our natural endorphins and hormones responsible for the healthy functioning of the mind and body.

We can do more to improve our condition than just control what we eat. For example, regular aerobic exercise may help reduce symptoms of chronic pain and help our body release hormones. Another benefit of exercise is that it can also boost mood and help treat depression. Talk therapy may also help in treating chronic pain. And of course, in certain circumstances, surgery may be the best option to address the cause of the pain.

In a Reuters article by Kate Kelland, "Mindfulness Therapy as Good as Medication for Chronic Depression—Study." Kelland begins by stating that, "Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) may be just as effective as antidepressants in helping prevent people with chronic depression from relapsing." She mentions that depression is one of the most common types of mental illness, affecting more than 350 million people around the globe. The World Health Organization ranks depression as the number-one cause of disability. Treatment through medication, psychotherapy, or both, often fails to improve a patient's condition.

MBCT teaches patients how to recognize the onset of depression and thus respond in a manner that avoids a relapse. During an initial comprehensive study comparing antidepressants and MBCT, both treatment methods had about the same level of success. Although MBCT requires more time with a trained therapist, the treatment is not more expensive, especially if provided through group sessions.

Kelland adds that Richard Byng, a professor at Britain's Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, stated that a drawback of antidepressants is that patients quit using them because of the side effects.

Referring to the study, as published in The Lancet medical journal, Kelland notes that when comparing MBCT and antidepressants, after two years the relapse rates between both groups was almost the same: forty-seven percent for those using medication, and forty-four percent for those treated with MBCT.

Kelland quoted Willem Kuyken of Oxford University, a research associate of Byng. "Whilst this study doesn't show that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy works any better than maintenance antidepressant medication in reducing the rate of relapse . . . these results suggest a new choice for the millions of people with recurrent depression on repeat prescriptions."

At the beginning of this chapter, I mentioned that even the NIH has backed away from the current accepted treatments for chronic pain and depression, especially those that rely heavily on the use of opioids and antidepressants. In their report addressing the topic, the NIH admitted that the medical community needed to move from a "one-pill-fits-all mindset" to an individualized treatment program that incorporates "nonpharmacological approaches, including physical therapy."

In a press release dated January 14, 2015, the NIH described the findings of a special panel convened to study the treatment of chronic pain. Their report stated that the use—and overuse—of opioids to address chronic pain has contributed to drug abuse and led to an epidemic of distress and disability for a substantial number of Americans. In other words, by relying on drugs to treat chronic pain, the problem has gotten worse, not better.

The issue is that patients are grouped together regardless of the causes behind their pain and are treated similarly, though this practice has shown little therapeutic benefit. What drives this situation is that the current health-care system has little experience with nonpharmacological therapies, and so patients are channeled toward the use of opioids. In addition, patients are reimbursed by their insurance companies for medications, but not for nondrug therapies, even if more effective.

The report concludes that for the treatment of chronic pain, "Large numbers of Americans are receiving suboptimal care."

As a follow-up to the NIH study, in the Washington Post article, "8 Ways to Deal with Chronic Pain," physical therapy showed remarkable success in alleviating chronic pain. Stretching and strengthening the body can lessen pain, improve mobility, and lift one's mood. Basically, the more one moves, the better one feels.

Finding Someone to Help!

It's easy to say, "No problem, everything's going to be fine." This may make you feel better in the short run, but without help from someone, over the long haul these words become fragile trees that cannot withstand the terrible storm ahead if anxiety, depression, and chronic pain are part of your everyday life. Everyone needs someone to help bear their burdens and lighten the load of their struggles: mentally, physically, and spiritually. We are social creatures and that's just how we are made and behave. But asking for help is very difficult, especially for men, and more so for veterans, particularly the many of us over forty who were raised by our parents to simply carry on. As survivors of the Great Depression, our parents didn't have access to the health care available today, inadequate as it is for most of us. True, medicine has made improvements, but it still has a long way to go.

After many years of needless suffering, I discovered the importance of finding a compassionate, competent psychologist, one who understood cognitive behavior therapy, the benefits of prayer, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, art therapy, and all the other tools and distraction techniques available today. This can even include playing video games, which allows you to take a mental vacation to break the cycle of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Today, doctors in a brief office visit will maintain that medication is the only tool for anxiety and depression. However, as you read previously, it is possible with proper medical care and a good psychologist to use talk therapy to manage symptoms. Done properly, you can actually reach a point where antidepressants and other psychological medications—even talk therapy itself—are no longer needed.

I am thankful to be living proof of this reality and no longer take the regimen of medications that I once labored with. By not taking these medications I am preventing further damage to my liver and endocrine system. This allows my body to make natural endorphins and other hormones that aid in sleep, pain control, sexual function, and energy level. As a result, I also live with an improved sense of well-being. This is the type of healing I am suggesting be made available today. Instead of using more pills to heal, one must find the will, faith, health coverage, and financial means to ask for and receive this help.

There are some great medications available today for chronic pain that don't require oral ingestion, are not addictive, and do not damage the liver. They have been under-prescribed because of a lack of knowledge about their availability and their high price. Others cannot be patented and thus sold for great amounts of money, and as a result, the pharmaceutical companies have no incentive to promote them.

The latter medication I am referring to is called transdermal analgesic cream, which is custom-made by a compounding pharmacy from four main ingredients. This cream is applied topically and is very effective for the relief of musculoskeletal pain, including pain derived from arthritis and damaged disks in the spine. This cream is very inexpensive to make and cannot be patented, which is why the big drug companies don't mention it.

Another treatment for chronic pain is the Lidoderm patch. Unfortunately, it is very expensive and only covers a small area. Another great medication is Voltaren gel, which is significantly more expensive than the transdermal analgesic cream but not as expensive as the Lidoderm patch. Voltaren is also effective for musculoskeletal pain, including pain from leaking disks. It's a potent treatment for arthritis, as it can be used safely on larger areas like the whole spine, back, and neck and doesn't contain steroids like the transdermal analgesic cream.

All of these medications are great prescription-based options in my opinion, instead of simply prescribing higher doses of opioids for the rest of someone's life of severe chronic pain as is the case today. Besides anxiety, depression, physical dependence, and addiction, don't forget that opioids also suppress normal breathing capacity and cause damage to the heart, mind, thyroid, liver, and kidneys.

Hopefully your doctor will recognize better treatment options for a sleeping disorder, as well, instead of only prescribing medications. So often it's possible to simply prescribe a CPAP machine and a nose pillow mask. Many people like myself cannot comfortably use the regular nose-and-mouth mask due to a feeling of drowning, or waking up with a mask full of saliva after a few hours. Today's opioid-based treatment is used far too often when it is inappropriate due to the side effects and complications. Without proper sleep, it is impossible for the body and mind to heal. Without proper rest, you will degenerate as I did for years. Sleep apnea is often caused and worsened by sedatives and other medications that are routinely prescribed in today's health-care world, in which doctors are rewarded for seeing the greatest number of patients per day and compensated from the pharmaceutical companies for prescribing certain medications. The prescription-drug epidemic in America today is proof of the failed system of medical care, as is the increased obesity rate. There are a staggering number of people with high-blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes—and let's not forget all the veterans with cysts in their kidneys and higher cancer rates. Almost every cancer patient I have spoken to has a fatty liver, though many of these people are currently not drinking alcohol and do not have a recent history of alcohol abuse related to cirrhosis of the liver. They have what is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Both NAFLD and steatohepatitis are well-documented forms of drug-induced liver injury. In addition, fatty liver disease is more often chronic than acute when drug-induced. Drug-induced fatty liver is characterized by mild to moderate serum enzyme elevations, generally with a hepatocellular pattern arising in a patient with fatty liver, as shown by a liver biopsy or imaging tests such as an ultrasound. I personally had uncontrollable heartburn and pain in my liver. For this reason, I got an ultrasound, which revealed my fatty liver though I did not have elevated serum levels as suggested above. The truth is, there are simply better medical options available today.

We must change the treatment options offered and the compensation structure of this out-of-control failed medical system we have in America. Until then, nothing will improve and we will continue to be unable to afford to help the most vulnerable people in our society, who have been the subject of many political debates. Many other countries have already chosen these alternative holistic approaches and as a result have much better health outcomes.

Taiwan is a great example. They have the best of both Eastern and Western medicine available, with costs that are significantly less expensive than equivalent treatments in the US. In Taiwan you can have an amazing hour massage unlike anything available in most cities in the US, for only $20 an hour. On my second trip to Taiwan I visited a hospital to get a testosterone shot. But the clinic did not give testosterone shots because it is known they cause nonalcoholic fatty liver. A visit to the urologist and a month's supply of Androgel was only $100. In contrast, in the US, Androgel alone is over $400 for a month supply. And a visit to an urologist can set you back another $350.

While my doctor in Taiwan was trained in the US, he wouldn't follow the same standard of care I was getting back home. He didn't prescribe the testosterone shot at the same dose I received in the US because he didn't want to damage my liver any more than it was already. He was aware of the cause of my uncontrollable heartburn. Using perfect English, he had no problem explaining the truth about testosterone shots and how the Taiwan medical system avoids them. He was one physician who took his oath seriously: to cause no harm.

Holistically Healing Anxiety, Depression, and Severe Chronic Pain

I owe much of my recovery and my realization that we live in the Kingdom of Heaven that is at hand today through turning to holistic medicine. As I discussed in the previous chapters, my reliance on traditional Western medicine—with its insistence on pharmaceuticals as the preferred therapy for depression and chronic pain—was leading me down a path of misery. As I explained, even the NIH has concluded that another way is needed to treat the millions of Americans suffering with depression and chronic pain. The liberal prescription of drugs is only making things worse.

What Is Holistic Medicine?

At its core, holistic medicine is about gaining and maintaining a proper balance in your life. It's a form of healing that encompasses the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and emotions—in your quest for optimal health.

A holistic approach to health addresses the imbalances in your life and how they can undermine your overall well-being. Holistic medicine practitioners believe that the physical, spiritual, and emotional must be kept in harmony if one is to achieve sound health. If striving for such balance sounds like pursuing "the path," or "the way" to deification, that's because it is. God intends for us to live healthy lives and if we follow the path he has given us, we will find that it leads to both a healthy life and the Kingdom of Heaven that is at hand today.

Principles of Holistic Medicine

The foundation for establishing balance in one's life is unconditional love and support from your closest acquaintances and loved ones. However, you are ultimately responsible for your own health and well-being. You must take the steps to address the imbalances in your life by embracing these principles of holistic medicine:

-All people have innate healing powers (God resides on his throne in the heart of all mankind).

-The patient is a person, not a disease (Christ is all and in all).

-Healing takes a team approach involving the patient and doctor.

-Such healing addresses all aspects of a person's life using a variety of health-care practices.

-Treatment involves fixing the cause of the condition, not just alleviating the symptoms (spiritually this means getting the mind to submit to the heart).

Types of Holistic Medicine Treatments

Holistic practitioners use a variety of treatment options to help patients take responsibility for their own well-being and achieve optimal health. Depending on the practitioner's training, these may include:

-An assessment of a patient's lifestyle and self-care, and recommending changes to promote wellness. This may include diet, exercise, psychotherapy, relationship and spiritual counseling, and more.

-The use of complementary and alternative therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, homeopathy, massage, and naturopathy.

-Western medicine and surgery.

All these holistic approaches are effective types of healing. A comprehensive approach using holistic medicine creates an environment for healing instead of just symptom management. In fact, I have used a holistic approach not only to improve my overall health but also to aid in my recovery from three spinal surgeries, a knee surgery, a broken right ankle, ankle sprains, plus my bouts with severe anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Additional holistic options include: yoga, meditation, prayer, mindfulness, relaxation therapy, guided imagery, biofeedback, art therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, electric acupuncture (Tens unit), infrared sauna therapy, and water therapy. Don't forget the benefits of and the need for daily exercise. Remember to add a daily regimen of stretching and strength training.

Let's review each of these options in turn.

Yoga is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline widely practiced for health and relaxation. It includes breath control, simple meditation, and the practice of specific body postures. Yoga is, at its roots, a Hindu theistic philosophy that teaches the suppression of all activity of body, mind, and will in order that the self may realize its distinction from them and attain liberation. This distinction of the self is realized by performing a ritual of physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. In Western cultures the theistic underpinnings of this discipline are often set aside and yoga is mainly practiced to promote physical fitness and mental conditioning.

Meditation is a mind-and-body practice that originated in ancient religious and spiritual traditions. Meditation is engaging in quiet reflection or contemplation. Most forms of meditation instruct the practitioner to become mindful of thoughts, feelings, and sensations, and to observe them in a nonjudgmental way. In many religions, meditation is a prerequisite mental state for one to be open for prayer.

Prayer is the elevation of one's thoughts and heart to God in praise, in thanksgiving, and in petition for the spiritual and material goods we need for sustenance. To do this we must enter our inner room—our heart, the core of our being—and once there, pray in secret to God the Father. This inner room is the throne of God, where He resides in all mankind!

The Apostle Paul said that we must always pray in our spirit (meaning to get our mind to submit to the heart). He commands prayer for all Christians without exception and asks us to pray unceasingly, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." This is the special prayer I was taught in the Russian Orthodox Christian Church.

Orthodox Christians engage in both corporate (that is communal within the body of the church) and personal prayer. One's individual prayer life is balanced with participation in the liturgical services of the church, where the whole community gathers for prayer and worship.

He who is able to pray correctly, even if he is the poorest of all people, is essentially the richest. And he who does not have proper prayer, is the poorest of all, even if he sits on a royal throne -St. John Chrysostom

Mindfulness is an aspect of meditation that focuses attention on the present. This technique concentrates on breathing to develop an increased awareness of the moment. According to a recent study, practicing mindfulness stimulates changes in the brain regions involved with memory, learning, and emotion. Additional research has demonstrated that mindfulness meditation may reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Relaxation therapy includes a number of practices such as progressive relaxation, guided imagery, biofeedback, self-hypnosis, and deep-breathing exercises. The goal among these practices is similar:

-Trigger the body's natural relaxation response, characterized by slower breathing;

-Lower blood pressure;

-Decrease pain; and

-Increase a feeling of well-being.

Guided imagery uses sound, both spoken word and music, to create positive mental scenarios. It's a technique used by many holistic practitioners as well as some physicians and psychologists in aiding patients dealing with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Guided imagery is frequently used to help cancer victims cope with their disease.

The benefits of guided imagery are not limited to physical problems or health issues, and it is commonly used for emotional healing and psychological issues. The technique is sometimes considered a form of hypnotherapy. Simple imagery suggestions are given to a client by a trained practitioner, typically in a one-on-one fashion. However, guided imagery can be done in group sessions or individually with recorded guided meditations. The images suggested depend on the needs of the individual. The sessions begin with breathing and relaxation techniques and progress into the patient's problem by directing scenarios that address a solution.

I have found this to be quite effective for pain relief, as guided imagery—tailored for my individual chronic pain, anxiety, and depression needs—causes me to fall asleep in just a few minutes. Yes, it's that powerful!

Moreover, guided imagery is a powerful means to get the mind to submit to the heart. In fact, the Divine Liturgy on Sundays in the Orthodox Christian Church is a great example of this. Guided imagery is how the Orthodox Christian Church hides and reveals the truth that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand today! Guided imagery is a beautiful experience and something everyone should consider.

Biofeedback therapy involves training patients how to control physiological processes such as muscle tension, blood pressure, and heart rate. Biofeedback is typically used to treat chronic pain, urinary incontinence, high blood pressure, tension headache, and migraine headache. It's particularly effective at treating conditions brought on by severe stress. When a person is stressed, internal processes such as blood pressure become irregular. Biofeedback therapy teaches one special relaxation practice and mental exercises to alleviate their symptoms. The three most common types of biofeedback therapy are:

-Thermal biofeedback, which measures skin temperature;

-Electromyography, which measures muscle tension; and

-Neurofeedback, which measures brain-wave activity.

I required a number of visits to the Oklahoma City VA Hospital to learn and perfect my use of biofeedback. This therapy relies on guided imagery to enhance the effectiveness and ease of learning how to relax and get significant pain relief.

These internal processes usually occur involuntarily; however, patients who receive help from a biofeedback therapist can learn how to completely manipulate them at will.

Therapists begin a biofeedback session by attaching electrodes to a patient's skin and displaying his or her physiological reactions on a monitor. The biofeedback therapist reads the measurements and through trial-and-error singles out mental activities that regulate the patient's bodily processes. Sessions are typically less than an hour long and most people will begin to see positive results after eight sessions. However, some patients may need as many as fifty sessions. Eventually patients learn how to control these processes without the need for such monitoring.

Art therapy uses the creative process of making art to improve and enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight. Art therapy integrates the fields of human development, visual art (drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art forms), and the creative process with counseling and psychotherapy. Through creating and reflecting on the art and processes, people can increase awareness of self and others.

I began art therapy also at the Oklahoma City VA Hospital and quickly appreciated its many benefits. These allowed my mind and body to take a mental vacation from pain, anxiety, and depression by distracting me from my problems. It helped me cope with stress and traumatic experiences, enhance my cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of making art. Plus, as I mentioned previously, art therapy provided a much-needed recess from anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Physical therapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment, and exercise, rather than by drugs or surgery. This includes physical manipulation of joints and muscle groups to enhance range of motion and promote healing. Physical therapy combines treatments used in Eastern medicine, which often include chiropractic therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, electric acupuncture (Tens unit), infrared heat therapy, moist heat therapy, and water therapy, along with exercise routines.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment that involves inserting needles into specific points of the body to restore balances in the life force (called Chi) and ameliorate pain.

A few weeks ago I asked my acupuncturist to treat all the acupuncture points over my entire body, a total of over seven hundred. He became a little nervous, because in his entire career only one other client had ever asked for this. The treatment lasted about four hours, which he stopped after inserting five hundred needles. This may seem unbearable, but it's not. Certainly, it's uncomfortable for a while, but the benefits were remarkable. Returning home, I stayed in the infrared sauna for thirty minutes, then soaked in a hot Epsom salts bath for about an hour. I had the most amazing sleep that night. The acupuncture freed many of the muscles throughout my body. I returned the next week and asked for the identical treatment. However, the doctor would only do three hundred needles, as I needed to rest at least two weeks between whole-body treatments. We planned to go light with the number of needles every other week and then determine if I needed to do the full-body treatment again. Acupuncture, along with massage therapy and exercise, is in my opinion a better solution than opioid medications for managing and eliminating severe chronic pain. The combination of physical therapy and exercise actually helps to slow down, reverse, and even stop the degeneration associated with the many musculoskeletal problems stemming from degenerative disk disease. Massage therapy and acupuncture are big parts of my healthy lifestyle.

The Chinese acupuncture and oriental clinic I use advertises treatments for many issues including: chronic fatigue syndrome; psychological stress and weariness (fatigue); allergies; skin diseases; nasal inflammation; atopic dermatitis, and bronchial asthma. Acupuncture also addresses urological issues such as prostatitis, pollakiuria (synchnuria), premature ejaculation, impotence, discharge from the womb, and enlargement of the prostate gland. Acupuncture is also used for cosmetic treatments such as facelifts, crow's feet, and wrinkles on the forehead, the side of the mouth, and neck. It also offers relief for menopausal disorder, menstruation irregularity, sterility, and insomnia. My wife and I both credit acupuncture for helping us to conceive.

The acupuncturist also presented a holistic approach to improving one's physical constitution with an oriental diet, a fatness clinic and treating high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. He also offered treatment for internal maladies including indigestion and constipation. And of course he specialized in pain-management acupuncture, acupressure massage, electric acupuncture, heat, transdermal crèmes, and oriental medicines for the treatment of many illnesses, including arthritis and pain of the neck, back, shoulder, knee, finger, foot, arm, elbow, and leg, and even headaches. It's no wonder that I find acupuncture to be an effective and necessary component of my healthy lifestyle.

Infrared sauna therapy involves a special type of sauna that uses infrared light to produce heat. This causes the body to respond as if undergoing moderate exercise. The many claims promoted by the different sellers of these devices include detoxification, anti-aging and skin purification, pain relief, relaxation, cell health, improved circulation, lower blood pressure, weight loss, and wound healing. When I first started using the sauna I could barely sweat; today I sweat more than I ever thought possible. I feel relaxed, energized, and experience great pain relief. Remember the cytokines, the proteins we talked about in an earlier chapter? Cytokines send messages to cells that affect how the immune system responds to infection and disease, including the strength and length of the response. In this way, cytokines can trigger pain by promoting inflammation, which is the body's natural response to infection or injury.

Inflammation helps protect the body by destroying, removing, or isolating the infected or injured area. In addition to pain, signs of inflammation include swelling, redness, heat, and sometimes loss of function. This inflammation and the cytokines are removed by the sweating I experience daily when I use the infrared sauna. In addition, with this therapy I get increased range of motion and pain relief, not just in my whole back and spine, but also in my feet if I use a special wooden foot-stretching device. I often exercise after using the sauna for at least thirty minutes. Heating the muscles groups before exercising reduces my pain while increasing my range of motion. This makes stretching easier. The sauna is exceptionally rewarding, and I am grateful to have one. I prefer the infrared sauna to a steam sauna because I could not find the same relief from a steam sauna. One reason is that I cannot tolerate the extreme hot air long enough to heat the muscle groups as deeply as the infrared sauna does. My wife tells me my skin looks much better now, too; however, I have to admit I also use her amazing homemade organic shea butter and coconut oil lotion at least twice a day.

Water therapy involves exercise programs that consist of a variety of treatments and exercises done in a pool. These may be specifically designed to provide relief of low-back pain or neck pain. Such exercises also serve to condition and strengthen muscles, which helps avoid future recurrences of back pain. The physical properties of water make it a highly desirable medium in the treatment of back pain and other musculoskeletal injuries. Some of the most beneficial properties of exercising in water are:

-Buoyancy: water counteracts gravity and helps support the weight of the patient in a controlled fashion as the patient is immersed. This can aid in the improvement of balance and strength. The buoyancy of water also permits a greater range of positions by offsetting the pull of gravity, particularly for exercises that require lifting the legs, the heaviest limbs of the body for most people.

-Viscosity: water provides resistance by means of gentle friction, allowing strengthening and conditioning, while reducing the risk of further injury due to loss of balance.

-Hydrostatic pressure: the powerful effects produced by hydrostatic pressure can improve heart and lung function, making aquatic exercise a useful way to maintain and strengthen heart and lung function. This pressure effect also aids in improving blood flow in the muscles.

Taken together, these properties allow the development of an exercise regimen that minimizes the weight placed on the spine (axial load) and risk of injury due to unintended movements during exercises. For example, individuals with osteoarthritis in the neck and shoulder can practice arm circles or shoulder rolls in water to improve their range of motion and strength. Because the water provides both mild resistance and support through buoyancy, they would most likely not experience the pain caused when a tired arm drops suddenly, as can happen during conventional exercises.

Moreover, the perception of pain may be diminished by many factors associated with water therapy, such as the relaxing sounds as well as the warmth of the water, making it a unique and pleasurable experience. Often it is easier to start an exercise program in the water before attempting it on land. For example, range-of-motion stretches for hip flexors and abductors are generally easier to try first in water because the legs are supported somewhat as the individual learns the correct positioning. Buoyancy during water therapy exercises can be increased with the use of floats.

I've found this type of water therapy to be very helpful. Today I can tolerate regular exercise much better than in the past, so I haven't had pool therapy for quite a while. However, today I benefit from a different type of water therapy by using a hot tub. I have a Jetta tub and use Epsom salts, especially after exercising more than I should. The hot salt water provides welcome relief. In the past I would use a hot tub at the YMCA two to three times a week after I exercised. Today I mostly exercise at home and, thanks to my appreciation of holistic medicine, I can maintain my healthy lifestyle more easily than when I first began this journey.

### A Co-op can use Steel to solve homelessness in Oklahoma

Micro Apartments are a great option and can range from just a few hundred square feet to up to 600 square feet. And even have two sleeping rooms. Once again we can turn to the East this time to China and through Alibaba.com a Co-op can purchase prefabricated metal kits for homes that assemble in a few days and yes even Apartments for as little as $4.44 a square foot and up to $43 a foot.

Now Oklahoma can afford to provide the homeless a home to own not just keep paying their rent.

In fact, in the long run this is much cheaper and better for everyone. Here is a great example!

With these new ideas Oklahoma can travel further down the path of ending Poverty and Homelessness by providing more than just a bed in a homeless shelter and in the many other cases a cell in a prison or county jail.

This is an easy inexpensive problem to solve with this example. I read an article just a few days ago on Newsok.com telling of how an Oklahoma Charity supported by numerous businesses missed the mark of providing housing to all our homeless veterans in Oklahoma City. They made great progress renting apartments for almost two-thirds of our homeless veterans. Unfortunately, there are still more than a hundred still in shelters and sleeping on the street. One such story involved a veteran who had contracted Bronchitis while staying at a homeless shelter fortunately the Oklahoma City VA Medical center did a great job linking this gentleman to the charity mentioned who found him a better place to stay and with honesty and compassion the Doctor helped him to understand mindfully that his medical condition would never improve if he continued sleeping in a bed at a shelter no matter what medication he was on. This gentleman had the liberty (choice) to accept the love being offered by the business leaders who funded and made this charity possible. Obviously the state of the sanitary health in these environments is just not healthy physically and mentally for so many. If the business leaders in our community would read this book and entertain the idea of changing their minds about redistributing the very limited resources available to create a solution involving ownership instead of simply paying rent to landlords, they could very likely use this example of innovation include some diversity into the mix and accomplish this simple task and so much more.

These people can become homeowners, pay taxes and utilities become a functional member of our society instead of being a prisoner to poverty and our criminal justice system.

Oklahoma City owns hundreds of vacant lots in neighborhoods that are in need of redevelopment that have access to sewer, water and electricity just sitting there not generating tax revenue. These neighborhoods do not offer builders the opportunity to earn the largest profit margins and therefore continue to be labeled as not economically feasible at this time for redevelopment. Innovation powered by these ideas change that outlook and now anything is possible there are actually so many other examples that I am not going to show you a picture of here. I will tell you a little about one and why I am no longer view it favorably. I found numerous shipping container types of micro homes insulated with color steel sandwich panels for about $3100 a piece. The picture I decided not to show you had 8 of them assembles together imagine the temptation to buy eight of these units for only $24,800. Even though more costs are certainly involved it appears to be more economically feasible than what is probably currently being done to house homeless Veterans in Apartments that can rent for $700 a month and possible even as much as $45 a day per a special contract for a one-bedroom apartment. These shipping containers simply are not build for the Hot and Cold climates in Oklahoma making the ability to heat and cool them nearly impossible or even economically feasible in the short and long term. Plus, their lifespan would not be long with all the blowing winds in Oklahoma. A better option would be to use old retired insulated shipping containers made with stainless steel interiors that used to have cooling units attached these containers were used in the past to transport frozen products on ships. I have watched documentaries of these being repurposed into micro homes with showers and wood floors, there are even beautiful wood looking materials that can be put on the walls to cover the stainless steel, since they are very well insulated in comparison to the former they can be heated and cooled easily with a split air A/c units shown below for most of the year an additional heater may be needed occasionally:

### Chapter 10

### A Co-op can provide jobs that feed the hungry and cloth the poor

We have lost so much of our ingenuity in America. Why would we turn away from the solution of using small business creation and ownership to solve the economic problems facing the Poor? Obviously the reason is individuals and Companies do not want to share the opportunity available in the Kingdom of Heaven, is this not a form of greed to prevent competition unfortunately these same people do not want to pay taxes either. The Love of Money is certainly the Root of this problem.

According to http://www.clear-vision.org

In the theory of karma, the effects of our actions are in proportion to the greed and hatred which motivated them, so if our spoiling of the planet through stripping its resources and polluting it was motivated by greed, we are now beginning to experience the effects of that greed. The earth is our mirror. (This brings the number of earthquakes and the effect of waste water disposal wells to my mind)

If one takes things from nature which are required by future generations, this might well be seen as taking the not-given. Consuming beyond one's own immediate needs whilst taking resources that later generations will need is not taking resources that they have actually laid a claim to as yet, but it is depriving them of their needs. There is no reason why them being further away in time should make any difference to this. It is greed or craving (tanha) which leads us to take more than we need for simple and straightforward living.

Once again let's look East and through Alibaba.com a Co-op can help the homeless to buy food and virtually any item to sell at amazing discounts.

I am going to list some ideas below. But first I want to show you a picture of Buddhists in Taiwan and China that sell their goods in little stall spaces in both day and night markets for a few hours daily. This resembles what you see at the fairgrounds during a home and garden expo or trade show and for that matter the actual fair itself minus the rides. If you have never been to the Night Market to eat dinner or buy items, you are missing one of my favorite things to do in the evening in Taiwan. This would be an incredible addition to every city and small town in Oklahoma and is actually a valid solution to solve all the Homelessness and Poverty we all see all too often. Again with Prefabricated Steel we can build the markets and the Houses creating a small community for the poor to get out of their Poverty. While enhancing life for everyone who purchases food from restaurants and from the open market bazaars owned by these new vendors. One vendor will only sell beef another pork and so forth. A few will sell cloths others electronic and such with Innovation, diversity and mentoring from the many diverse artistic individuals and retired business owners in Oklahoma these small businesses will succeed. Can you imagine the income potential of a central location possibly the State Fair Grounds in Oklahoma City using a few of the existing buildings and this type of new small business idea owned and operated by homeless and low income individuals open daily?

This new day and night market could have maybe 30 small mom and pop food stands each selling a different Healthy Fish, Meat and or Vegetable meal even having an organic menu at affordable prices with $5 meals.

I for one would eat their daily if this was a reality. The ability to help so many is actually so easy. The majority of this revenue will continue to cycle staying within Oklahoma if the Co-op grows the vegetable and purchased their meats from local farmers. The Co-op could even support local farmers by offering a higher price for their higher quality dairy, eggs, meats, vegetables and fruits.

This model also allows for bringing restaurants and affordable grocery stores to areas of Oklahoma that are currently not being served because of the economics involved for large Grocery stores. It is so economically difficult in some of these areas to purchase a restaurant franchise meet the building requirements and menu requirements while constantly trying to make a profit or even offer a living wage to workers in areas of Oklahoma City and throughout the state that simply cannot afford the prices this would require. A mom and pop restaurant offering healthy holistic food choices at affordable prices can still more than scratch a living out where a franchise restaurant cannot. So many small towns even different neighborhoods in Oklahoma City need access to affordable groceries why should we not make the room for this to happen in our Great State? With Liberty and Love we can solve so many problems that have simply been forgotten and not recognized since the time of the Jim crow laws that are supposed to be in our past.

Young Oklahomans are responsible for having a high teen birth rate. We can make lemonade out of our lemons if we change our view and decide we want to helping our young families along the path of life they are walking on today! With love these young adults and their children can begin to have a better future while learning the value of helping others. In time they will be the individuals who so many uncountable times will help so many others in this Great State of Oklahoma.

Can you see how many people including disabled people can earn a living in a Co-op that has restaurants, market stalls, grows vegetables, raises chickens and builds the prefabricated homes that house the homeless. The Co-op could even start building and owning section-8 micro apartments to generate monthly revenue to fund itself over the long haul. Not to mention if this Co-op was fortunate enough to get the contract to house the homeless veterans it could generate possibly $45 a day in rental revenue per Veteran. All of the many diverse sources of short term and long term revenue could fund training and provide housing for ex-convicts getting out of prison helping them on their path to life becoming the sons of God they are meant to be or as some would simply say rehabilitated. Oklahoma is in need of skilled labor for Sales, Marketing, Retail, even Construction and Remodeling of every kind. The Co-op could start remodeling and repairing homes, and fences in time. Certainly not every person will exercise the choice to accept this type of help, the ones that do can become empowered with training and assistance so many could actually finally earn a decent living while having an ownership interest to inspire them in seeing it succeed being self-employed. If no one ever helps them with a hand up everyone will have to continue giving them a hand out. Oklahoma can do so many Great things solving problems as they arise.

### Chapter 11

### Using Alibaba to pave our roads with good intentions

I for one, like the many other arm chair scientists and urban monks of every faith in Oklahoma who may or may not accept deification as the purpose for all of mankind hope the Major players in the Oil and Gas industry in Oklahoma including the wild cat Independent Oil and Gas producers throughout Oklahoma will all mindfully work together to fix the age old problem of bad roads throughout Oklahoma. The ideas I am offering do not even require using natural gas to fire the bricks. One brick making machine with an assembly line can actually make 21000 of these paving bricks per hour. These new roads could certainly make it so much easier to get out of the house on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings while enjoying the drive to "The Church" or temple so many of us worship in while creating some new jobs and perhaps a few new industries. Lasting industries that will likely provide memories of earning a living wage while walking on the path of Life in the Kingdom of Heaven that is clearly at hand. Leaving future generations in Oklahoma some beautiful amazing roads. Roads everyone can walk on in their neighborhoods and not have to worry about whether or not they will fall in a 3 to 5-inch crack or worse a very deep pothole like the ones that all too often damage our automobiles on the roads of divine ascent we travel on. Once again let's browse Alibaba.com and look for ideas for manufacturing and laying the roads along our path of life with innovation, diversity and a little old fashioned hard work we can all see the difference these new roads will make in all our lives.

Our Buddhist friends in China can help provide the tools and materials for ideas that lead to a solution for paving the roads in our minds the path of life in the kingdom of heaven we all live in with good intentions that work! These ideas will mindfully calm the angry monkeys in "The Church's" (Western Europe's NSA's) mind that appear to have been left alone to fester possibly wreaking havoc on the lives of Vulnerable Foreign Christian Women and Male members of the LGBT community. "The Church" (Western Europe's NSA) appears to me to have caused so much damage even being instrumental in breaking up homes likely affecting children in so many ways besides the many cases of pedophilia endured by so many for so long. These are the earthquakes that cause so much more damage than the ones everyone sees daily in the news in Oklahoma caused by fracking for Oil and Gas. I have heard a monk once say that a restless mind is like a dirty mirror it cannot actually reflect the truth until it is cleaned. I hope "The Church" (Western Europe's NSA) can find a way to clean its restless mind so it can start reflecting the truth about Deification being the purpose for all of mankind. With Mindfulness and Contemplation, the heresy that has befallen the Deranged Mind of the Western Church (Western Europe's NSA) can be removed.

Once this is done the Holy water they offer to clean the minds through baptism will be purified and once again become transparent so everyone will be able to see the truth and be able to Mindfully Contemplate how they too can Change their Views and Calm their Angry Minds!

### Chapter 12

### Growing the Fresh Vegetables we all grave to eat!

Oklahoma has so many resources both human and physical in the form of earth, wind, water and fire by adding insulated steel buildings to the mix with LED grow lights we can even grow fresh vegetables all year round to sell in a market or resale to local restaurants as part of a healthy lifestyle we could easily all promote as benefiting everyone. Homeless people working in this Co-op would be helping all of us in Oklahoma to eat better, healthier, fresher food daily while supporting themselves financially. If we build portable greenhouses in recycled insulated shipping containers like the ones I mentioned earlier made of stainless steel, using retired refrigerated containers would be much less expensive than the one showed below. We could easily power the hydroponic LED greenhouse by methane or natural gas generators burning the same gas emitted from land fields (Dumps) and the gas produced by fracking that is currently being burned off.

Fatty Liver: You Can Reverse It

The old wives' tale, "You are what you eat" is a truth that's all too often lost in today's fast-paced world, where a doctor's visit lasts but a brief seven minutes at most. However, the benefits of proper nutrition are central to creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A dietician with knowledge of the benefits of eating a vegetarian diet is perhaps more important to your overall long-term health and happiness than what you and your doctor realize is possible. Healthy eating affects the endocrine system, which is responsible for your hormones. The major glands that make up the human endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pineal gland, and the reproductive glands, including the ovaries and testes.

In fact, the brain's pineal gland produces melatonin from the amino acids you get in your diet. Melatonin is a serotonin-derived hormone that a research team from the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC) at the University of Coimbra (UC) in Portugal has now discovered may fight cancer cells. Melatonin can reach any cell and it adjusts the sleep-wake cycle, while helping maintain a healthy aging process, even as it helps regulate the immune system.

Remember our discussion about anxiety and depression? I mentioned how your hormones affect not only sleep and your overall sense of well-being, but also that endorphins actually relieve pain. A healthy liver filters out cancer cells when it's working properly, and also affects many other functions within the body. The liver is the only human organ that if split in two and transplanted will regrow into two new organs. I recommend that you buy the book Fatty Liver: You Can Reverse It by Doctor Sandra Cabot, MD and Thomas Eanelli, MD and follow its recommendations. I keep an e-book copy on my laptop, as its advice still works for me today and contributes to the healthy lifestyle I enjoy.

If you are fortunate enough to live in Oklahoma, you can schedule a visit to the Buddha Mind Monastery located at 5800 S. Anderson Road, Oklahoma City, Ok 73150. (405) 869-0501 Email: Buddhamindokc@gmail.com Their Web address is www.ctbuddhamind.org. They offer complimentary vegetarian cooking classes, meditation classes, Yoga, and so much more to help you develop a healthy lifestyle their class schedules are posted online. It's truly an amazing facility.

### Chapter 13

### Co-ops can produce Organic free range Chickens and delicious eggs

Ex-felons need help in so many ways. When we help them mindfully they can actually become productive members of Oklahoma's society in so many ways. Most have families which under the current system of excessively long incarceration prison terms which I believe are used far too often to punish instead of rehabilitate we create the earthquakes that destroy families and the future for everyone involved. If we continue this the gates to hell will never be closed. This is supposed to be a garden where every plant (person) can find the space and nutrients to grow.

Every plant (person) has different needs regarding not just the nutrients its eats but also the type of earth it can grow in how much wind, water and heat it can tolerate.

The Good Gardeners or should we say God Gardener's need to be Mindful and Contemplate how to better tend to the gardens (minds and lives) they are responsible for growing and caring for. Without making room and a place with Love and Liberty these people cannot grow Spiritually, Physically and Mentally. Perhaps helping them to care for chickens will provide them the Opportunity to Understand how they can Help Themselves and their Families while providing organic chicken to everyone in Oklahoma. I buy Organic chicken it is roughly $14 a chicken and is currently only available from farms in California surely Oklahoma can start a Co-op that offers Ex-felons the opportunity to become a business owner that includes housing, clothing and an income while also mentoring them. The fruits of these labors would be welcome by everyone if they could produce organic chicken everyone can enjoy for $7 (a bird) whole chicken that is. Not to mention all the fresh organic eggs this operation would produce. It should be easy to see a person in a day or night market selling these eggs and fresh birds. If you have never had fresh chicken or eggs you have no idea what you are missing lol. Fresh eggs and chicken are amazing you will never want to eat the chicken you currently eat today! With one bite of this and a reasonable price Tyson and Pilgrim's Pride cannot compete.

### Chapter 14

### Now it's easy to see why I asked for $40 million in compensation

I hope there is no longer a mystery in anyone's Mind why I asked for compensation invested in 100-year tax free insured treasury bonds payable monthly. I want to fix this mess with help from all the amazing people in Oklahoma together we can truly change the Kingdom of Oklahoma making it a paradise without Poverty and Homelessness. Everything in Oklahoma is always is in a state of change when we change our minds and views we can easily see the truth that is before all of us daily. Without removing the thoughts that muddy up our minds it becomes impossible to be transparent honest, faithful, and loving to all others. We all have to calm the angry monkeys that come into our minds from time to time. When we clean the dirty mirrors in our house of worship (our Mind) we can stop all the pain caused by hatred and bigotry that lead to division and dissention. We are supposed to be one Nation under God. (God is Love) With Liberty we can create the space each of us needs to grow spiritually like a plant starts as a seed then sprouts and continues its cycle of change even becoming a large tree that produces fruit that feeds hundreds so too each of us is constantly growing, changing and becoming a tree of life benefiting and feeding others along our journey on the path, the way of Life in the Kingdom of Heaven we all live in today when we step out of the tombs Mindfully and Contemplate the Need to Change our Views and Mind. The moment this is done we change the karmic activities we are all actually creating constantly with this We Change the World we all live in.

It is interesting that I got this letter a few days ago. On Dec 30th I went to Veterans Corner a nonprofit designed to assist veterans with claims for benefits. Since I am unable to acquire a lawyer to represent the claim mentioned in this book at that visit I met with a young lawyer working for legal aid. She informed me that Legal Aid is in the same situation as the ACLU they cannot represent anyone filing a Tort claim or Lawsuit against any branch of the Federal Government for any reason. Obviously there are so many more questions raised by everything told in this book, as well as in the first one titled "Kingdom of Heaven. Since there is so much more to this story that I do not yet know and things I have not included thus far. Perhaps I will find enough subject matter for a few more Books. I hope you enjoyed this one and got a chance to read the first book of this series titled "kingdom of Heaven" also rebranded as "Unseen Warfare" which too is partially written at the Red Cup Café. If you happen to be in Oklahoma City you can drop by the Red Cup café, located at 3122 N. Classen Blvd in Oklahoma City, Ok 73118 PH: (405) 525-3430 have some of hollies amazing hot tea enjoy a vegetarian lunch or vegan desert and say hello. Hope to see you soon! Better hurry I am planning to move to Taiwan and live there for part of the year hopefully very soon. I have a realtor showing my house today at 3:00pm. Obviously since I am not allowed to purchase advertising in Print media to market the first book of this series and am under 24/7/365 continued surveillance. It does not look like it will be possible for me to turn my home into the "No Place to Hide Museum. Since everything is always in a constant state of change I have mindfully changed my plans a little too.

Taiwan is so beautiful I can hardly wait to get their and eat some fresh sushi and drink a cold Taiwanese brewed beer by the beach. It really is Paradise!

I have just completed the Third book of this series it will be available Online and in paperback print in a few days it is titled "The Heresy".

In this book I will discuss in more detail the many struggles within my own mind and how I came to grips with how all the unethical actions created by all of us today in America and throughout the World are related to the Heresy of the Catholic Church which is actually the Western European branch of the NSA in the "Old World order" and in the New World Order Today. Centuries ago the actual leaders of the "Old World" based in Europe created the New World "The United States of America". The only version of Christianity they have allowed to be taught in the past hundred plus years until now with the recent meeting of Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill from Moscow in Cuba on Feb 12th, 2016 is the Heretical version. Which has been preached and presented numerous Sundays in every Christian Church throughout America Today. The Geopolitics around the love of money and the writing of the First Three books of this series along with the first chapters of the fourth book certainly are related and even inspired the Meeting in Cuba on Feb 12th, 2016 between Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill. This Heresy Christianity has fallen into began because of the Old World's (Western Europe's) unquenchable Desire and Love for their first and only true love. The Love of Money this fall from God's grace came about from the earliest of times in the early western Christian church almost 2000 years ago today. In this next book titled "The Heresy" I will even discuss and provide historically accurate information on who I believe actually wrote the earliest books of the Holy Bible we use today. You will actually see how the gospels has changed over time even clearly pointing out how all this relates to the calendar we use today. I am sure you will likely be as surprised as I and the so many other branches of the NSA are today when they too found out the truth kept hidden in plain sight for centuries. Next we will take a look at the random thoughts, ideas and questions of 101 random minds. It is the mind of man that is made in the image and likeness of God. It is made both male and female. We are all the Living Gods Breathing Today. Once we become Enlightened Minds we become the Loving Gods Beyond Time and as you can now clearly see "LGBT "is the title of the fourth book of this series and the one I am still working on today!

Sincerely, Joseph Turner
