It has nothing to do with any human religion at all, regardless of what so called intellectuals say. They are wrong on all counts!<br />The point that I am trying to make here, is somewhat similar to the situation, that you shall be experiencing very soon?<br />People have asked me many times, "Being a Gnostic, does that make living in this place any easier?" The answer to that question, is always the same. Answer: "No, and in fact, it makes it even worse, as you become wiser than all others, because you 'Know' the true facts of the meaning of this place, no longer the Lemming, rushing aimless to your grave. You put the brakes on, so you yourself can think, for 'You', and not have to worry about the rest of humankind, as their agenda, you shall always find, is different from yours!<br />Play low profile, and keep those strong feelings to yourself, until you at least get full release from the 'inner cage'. You will perhaps one day, find out that the outside, is also a cage also? It is that the bars are just a little further apart, so most folks never notice the outside bars, so they think, lets have fun, in a fun place, and just do, as we are told!!!<br />Outside, Ben, you at least will be able to be more, of whom you really are!<br /><br />I wish you love, and Eternal kindnessnoggin48https://www.blogger.com/profile/00745925847601358717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-90844786355548137672012-01-25T18:26:19.991+00:002012-01-25T18:26:19.991+00:00Although I have never been in jail, thusfar anyway...Although I have never been in jail, thusfar anyway, (I would like to remain on the outside too), but for so many people in prison, they are trying to get out as soon as they possibly can. <br /><br />A friend of mine impressed this on me, he is a very brave, vocal, lifelong and die hard militant activist; he said to me that if he ever found himself in jail he would do whatever it took (within limits I suppose) but he would just concentrate on getting out and nothing else. <br /><br />Its good that there are activists like Ben in the prison system, Ben in particular has highlighted the plight of prisoners so well, but I guess it is or was his particular circumstances (and his personality of course) that lead him to taking it up, likewise the other prisoner activists. <br /><br />Times change and things have changed for Ben in a relatively short space of time, so, my advice to Ben is to not look back, keep going forward. He is nearly out and it will still not be easy for him. <br /><br />There are some young men, one was on radio 5 live today, saying that there is nothing for him on the outside, he would feel better in some ways in jail! <br /><br />So Ben has to be really strong, and, as I said, not look back or sideways if he wants out, go straight and keep going until he is out, then, well, then who knows? Anything could happen. <br /><br />Very best wishes to Ben, I hope all will go well for him.Julynoreply@blogger.com
