"With Man Gone, Will There Be Hope For Gorilla?"

"With Gorilla Gone,
Will There
Be Hope
For Man?"

Here’s to my loving son… Not to exclude my other son nor my daughter, but once it’s read, and when it’s read by my boys, they will understand who this refers to. My kids are my world! I will never, ever…turn my back on them! I will go to the ends of the world for them!! Isn’t that what a parent does????

My life is headed to a destination that is unbeknownst to me, what is known, is that my children and those very dear to my heart are a big part of that travel. I love you all dearly, Con Todo Mi Corazon!!!

Thank you all, for pointing out a new light on my travel and most of all for being a part of it… and the enlightenment continues...

“I think there are many among you who would be glad to release the world from
captivity.”
“I agree.”
“What prevents them from doing this?”
“I don’t know.”
“This is what prevents them: They’re unable to find the bars of
the cage.”

“I can’t shake the crazy feeling that there is some small thing that we’re being
lied to about.”

Time goes by…. months go by, years go by…

“And do you still wonder if you’ve been lied to?”
“Yes, but not as desperately as I did then.”
“Why is that?”
“Because I’ve found out that, as a practical matter, it doesn’t make any difference. Whether we’re being lied to or not, we still have to get up and go to work and pay the bills and all the rest.”

This is the story man was born to enact, and to depart from it is to resign from the human race itself, is to venture into oblivion. Your place is here, participating in this story, putting your shoulder to the wheel, and as a reward, being fed. There is no “something else. To step out of this story is to fall off the edge of the world. There’s no way out of it except through death.”


“You’re familiar with the expression, ‘Take it or leave
it.’

“If Mother Culture were to give an account of human history
using these terms, it would go something like this:

‘The Leavers
were chapter one of human history – a long and uneventful chapter. Their chapter of human history ended about ten thousand years ago with the birth of agriculture in the New East. This even marked the beginning of chapter two, the chapter of the Takers. It’s true there are still Leavers living in the world, but these are anachronisms, fossils-people living in the past, people who just don’t realize that their chapter of human history is over.’”

“Ishmael
is an utterly unique and captivating spiritual adventure which redefines what it is to be human. We are introduced to Ishmael, a creature of immense wisdom. He has a story to tell, one that no human being has ever heard before. It is the story of man's place in the grand scheme, and it begins at the birth of time. This history of the world has never appeared in any schoolbook. "Does the earth belong to man?" Ishmael asks. "Or does man belong to the earth?"”
