Believing goodwill and peace would be a byproduct, I allowed these forces to censor or "privatize" my thoughts and feelings. I was clearly mistaken. I forgot that censorship is all about manipulation. Manipulating the mind, heart and soul. Manipulating the truth. Painting a false picture to preserve what? For whom? For what purpose? Who benefits? Who cares?
How certain situations and behaviors affect me, the wisdom I've acquired, and the spiritual principles I apply to survive, is what this blog is all about. The truth may hurt but there is no denying when you're in its presence.
Have you noticed the decline in the number or quality of my blogs? This is a direct result of my permitting others to dictate what I can and can not speak or write about. It has polluted my source like the oil spewing forth and spreading like an invasive cancer in the Gulf. This was the intention. To muzzle me. To squelch my spirit. To make me conform. To obliterate my insights.
This agreement on my part, has only served to make me isolated and incapacitated and silent. My reward? Vilification. Nullification. Estrangement. Further mind control. It's a vicious cycle. The byproducts of censorship are always deception and toxic.

This has been a process recognizing that censorship by the privileged has impeded my craft of writing, squelched my spirit and impinged on the mission I am here to achieve. However, the realization of these manipulative effects has freed my spirit from imprisonment. I want to feel the love. Wherever it comes from, whomever brings it along to share. When love is absent or withdrawn. C'est la vie!
