“What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference-so wide that to receive    the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ..” Frederick Douglass, p.100 ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave’ There can be no lapse in our American constitutional protections, especially in the process of recreation. Our constitutional rights are derived from our natural, Godly rights. Further, the balance of human life cannot tilt towards the normalcy of child-womb slaughter, nor should such an atrocity be raised as a practice of freedom and liberty. God made us. We are made in His image. Our attunement to natural human life prog...

P eople need to be gently intellectually pushed to broaden their horizons with a new thought: namely, that the prioritization of making money and caring for one’s country can be had at the same time.  A    new America, replete with new traditions of service can address many issues in supporting and strengthening the rise of a new economic tradition through the individual wealth-creation development of community entrepreneurship.    The formula being that the health and well-being of people and community are placed, not before, but in tandem with individual gain. As it is now, the country on a whole does not give enough space or awareness for an American perspective founded in the spirit of service to the greater community. The reason for this is that it has not been taught as a valued tradition and it is not understood how to bring this about on a grand scale. Money needs to be made, people need to care for their basic needs, and most of us want to improve o...

Of what consequence is a life that is lived unto oneself? How often do we also settle into a comfortable neutrality in caring for ourselves, our loved ones, and securing for own future? We can be cordial, pleasant, and thoughtful, and yet, if we are fortunate, we may realize that we are yet not satisfied and that we are expecting more from life. If we are even more fortunate, we have the understanding that it is in giving and not receiving that we experience a deeper fullness in our life. From where does one get instruction on how to live with great purpose—that at the end of each day, we have this profound peace of heart and mind? You may have never heard of Theodore Roosevelt. He was the man who helped make the Theodore Roosevelt we know who became President of the United States of America. He was the Dad of Teddy Roosevelt. ‘Great Heart’ was one of four son’s of one of the most affluent families in Manhattan in the late-mid 1800’s. The Roosevelt’s were wealthy, p...

Part 1: A Strong Economic and Professional Foundation The profession of a Special Educator is a position that has largely been shaped in adherence to the wishes of employers, parents, and traditionally routinized instructional pathways created by private and public schools. It is a profession wherein the professional is told what their job is before they figure out that they have to be these innovative, artistic, entrepreneurial powerhouses of creativity, motivation, and dynamic service. Educator colleges literally train Special Educators to only work in school environments. The raising up and certification of such a peculiar teacher attains form in the educational colleges, yet and unfortunately, like cattle, these are immediately herded into the employment of large-scale academic operations, otherwise known as private and public schools. This construct limits the creative direction and range of thought and action of the Educator; their professional development and abilities are...

Intellectual discourse without adherence to a professional mode of interaction devolves the position of one’s message. A balance in how we speak to one another and the strength of our message interplay together. How can the national conversation be moved forward and decisive action be taken when great political forces are at odds? (Increase the level of smart, genuine people.) Rhythm Why is it important to harness the power of intellect, more so than the power of physical force in order to achieve a desired end? Where and how does an American citizen start to respectfully exercise the right to critique, shape, and defend our system of governance? Are good manners important to employ as we become respectful, critical thinkers? Example #1: The    relationship between the military general and the Council Marcus Aurelius, in a speech included within The Columbian Orator, eloquently put forth to the Roman council of his time that his generalship was not beyo...

Public schools in the United States of America are not teaching people to be enterprising community leaders; habitually innovative, experimental, collaborative, or to think on different levels. They are teaching core subjects without the capitalistic, socially-minded application of these in a meaningful way that places the thinking of ordinary Americans in terms of what they can do for their country. But youth and young adults with limited opportunities lose hope when the educational support systems to empower them are not preparing them to be all that they can be. If school is not fun, it may be that the students don’t readily see how what they are learning can be appplicable. Social enterprising has to be threaded in from the very beginning. Not only does empathic capitalism create new economy, but it puts our thinking on making life better for each other. People become passionate when they think and feel like they can really better their own lives. Give people the tools. Socia...

Understanding that we have to be brought up to care for each other itself requires a willingness to first care. The empowerment of people’s wherewithal in a manner that makes them stronger, more readily active members of the community, begins with love. To those who have the passion and desire to focus great energy, we have to put everyone first, and ourselves last, again and again. We have to bring such a level of vigor to continual care that it repurposes our life’s work towards such an endeavor. How can this be done in such a way that it is deemed practical and relevant to American citizens? This is something that has to be taught and practiced, and it is best begun at an early age. Such an ideal may not reach deaf and blind hearts, nor will it be given more than a fanciful pause of thought, unless there is money involved. Because we need money to pay for things, and our time is valuable. We use time to work and make the money that pays for our food and living.  ‘We like our...
