Paco, I looked this story up and was reading some of it on line.  Rich in culture and relationship, it struck I how mush we absorb and learn from our parents, and the image of our time with them stays with us the rest of our lives.

  surfmon_I, yes i agree. i would juss add that imo the book is universal in its stories about his life from ages 14 to 20,21. people from all cultures and backgrounds will relate to this book. it's sooo down to earth it has the beauty and force to ground ONE back to love and sanity; something lacking in heartless babylon, where nothing is free imo.

                        blessings all/ways brother, paco

I'm reading Orientalism by Edward Said.  It's a historical analysis of how the west has portrayed the east culturally and socially.  A very informative read.

My advice to all is to read about the earths foundations from the earliest sources.

Notice ONE thing, ONE very important thing.....Same story.
This story was there before any so called Bible.

Read Japanese, Indian, Egyptian, South American, Aborigine (by the way the word itself "aborigine" means from the beginning), Sumerian Istory...Then you will know where we all came from.

Stop fantasizing. Deal with the truth.
"God" as you know him to be now will cease to be something to be feared.
All I see from "god" according to the Bible is someone who loves WAR ! Missed-interpretation of who he (the real GOD) really is.

The so called god in the bible is a war fanatic. Read if you diss -agree. How can he be a god of life when he is against it !?
How can he be jealous if there is no one over him ? Of what is he jealous ?

How can he justify killing people and sending people to war to fight for....what ? For him ?

What kinda god is that !? Sound like Bush to me.....Just another dic. - data. Hate is all I c.

Read real Istory - (our story - All of us Istory). We r in this together. Stop being fooled.
The governments are using this false god to trap you and....most are in that trap. Those are the chains you have to release. That what Iesus talking about - knowing the truth. Do it. Get to know it.
Mankind does not have long.

Want some books to read ? PM me. I am not gonna tell you about something written now but, I sure will tell you about that what was long before a so called god came into exist-ance...i.e., the beginning.

I have already said too much but, it is time.......

With these words the Elders of Waitaha tell us that their ancient and sacred lore is shared for the first time. Bound in secrecy for centuries, protected through the ages by those who gave their lives to keep it safe, this knowledge travels out of the past to be revealed in the book ‘Song of Waitaha - Histories of a Nation’.

And Also:

i would recommend reading "The Autobiography of Emperor Haile Sellassie I King of Kings of All Ethiopia And Lord of all Lords" Volume One pages 192-193 or 159-160 depending on how you count.

ABOUT THE LAW
The meaning of law is the obligation of government to define every contract made between men, so that security and peace be created for the conditions of life in the world. The meaning of law is also that it should hold responsible any man transgressing a contractual obligation and hand how over to the powers possessing the responsibility of enforcement. This being so, law provides for man a distinct definition of what it permits to him, so that he may fully benefit from it. Furthermore, the law, while warning man of the duties incumbent upon him, orders him to fulfil his obligations. Anyting that is permitted to man to benefit by is called the right of excercise of enjoyment. This right of enjoyment is divided into two main parts:
(1) Private privileges are those which are for each person in his individual capacity.
(2) Joint privileges are those which are for the whole people in its entirety and for Ethiopia in her united capacity.

 Private and joint concepts may be of three kinds:
(1) The interests of livelihood (wordly goods);
(2) The interests of the mind (knowledge);
(3) The interests of the inner life (love and religion).

Emperor Haile Sellassie I has given laws as regards the general judicial concepts for all these interests, private as well as communal, which have been referred to. But for matters of detail he has set up what is called a constitution as a basis for the establishment of government, so that the counsellors should submit to him (as we have shown above) the legislative proposals they have prepaired in parliament.

Up to now I have spoken in order to expound what a constitution is and also how the determination of laws is to be done. I shall now explain to you in detail the answer to the question I have presented to you before.

THAT WE MAY KNOW MUTUAL AID AND UNITY
What Emperor Haile Selassie I has done for us, other kings have done for their countries. But in other countries improvements of this kind were not carried out by an act of spontaneous generosity but through bloodshed and compulsions and by leaving behind a sense of danger for all.

But in our country, while the education level of the people is as yet inadequate, our Emperor, in weighing up and estimating the deficiencies and advantages for the future, has been meaning to improve the conduct of our fortunes and has arranged, by his wisdom and his will, that Ethiopia should rise up from the condition of mere custom, in which she had been living hitherto, and pass on to a higher level of civilization. What makes this so very astonishing is the fact that all this is being accomplished in such peace and security, while Ethiopia turns away from the situation in which she had been up to now and make progress all of a sudden, the Emperor being in accord with his supporters and servants--all in unity, mutual aid, and joy.

This fact is by itself enough to bring honour to Ethiopia and render her an equal with the civilized nations.

In order to repay His Majesty's generosity, we must judge for ourselves and impose an obligation upon ourselves so as to be truly and sincerly submissive. When His Majesty has been graciously pleased to establish for us such an esteemed project, unless we make an equally gracious and willing return for those benefits, we shall give offence to our Emperor, on the one hand, and to most people, on the other, as well as incurring hatred all round; that is, if we are seekers, on the narrow road, of our own interest only and despise our common benefit which ties us to the nation.

The meaning of law is a strong and unchallengeable force which is ordained to exist among men in sanctity, purity, and honour; it is a requirement of peacefulness to be safeguarded of the interests existing among men--properly poised and forever indestructible. That which safeguards the law itself is its faithfulness in true impartiality and sincerity in the fulfilment of contracts tied to covenants.

This contract attached to a covenant, referred to as law, specifically cautions on every occasion those dwelling in the world, lest they transgress the proper limits in any of their daily occupations; the law defines those limits for them, brings them into harmony, and delivers them from enmity.
