Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation

4 Etznab, 16 Uo, 7 Ik

Selamat Balik! We return in the midst of great negotiations that are preparing to bring your world to the point of transformation. The dark cabal has forged its own demise with its relentless greed and hubris. The next financial collapse is approaching unabated, and shows up clearly on the dark's radar screens. All those in the know financially are deeply concerned about the global economy, but their expressions of misgiving merely touch the surface of what lies ahead. The dark cabalists' desire to save their own skins from their fiscal irresponsibility has been dashed by the inescapable fact of their deeply flawed financial constructs. The present monetary and economic system is riddled with fault lines that are now coming apart and a radical fix is the only way forward. Our Earth allies have positioned themselves in such a way that the only way for this fix to manifest is by means of the proposals they first introduced nearly a decade ago. A majority of those in the financial world understand this clearly and very much want to get on with it. An immense force for change is building around the dark's minions.

The switch to a new system of finance necessitates a commensurate change in who controls government. Over the millennia, the dark cabal's rule has been unchallenged; the obstacles now springing up around them are unprecedented. That their desires are being set aside by various influential players in the global economy is deeply shocking to them, and they are amazed that their tried-and-true tactics for squashing such insolence are unable to prevent a growing rebellion. This inability to maintain a hitherto undisputed preeminence is spreading panic in the ranks of the cabal, as they watch many nations secretly plotting to dethrone the dark's chief instrument, the UN corporatocracy, and they are becoming truly desperate. In the 1940s, this dark ruling cadre set up a world system that is now on the point of collapse, yet it doggedly refuses to yield to new ways or new circumstances. It is this intransigence that has spurred the present series of secret meetings by others in the power elites, and these are producing a cogent strategy for drastically loosening the grip of this still-powerful corporatocracy.

The monetary troubles of the US corporate government are a major key to this strategy: over the past few years, the implausible fiscal policies of this government and its associates have brought them to this impasse as a debt of unfathomable proportions becomes due. This debt lacks any legitimate instruments to stay the inevitable, which is why recent machinations on the part of the Federal Reserve Bank have failed to produce any efficacious result. A series of astute legal maneuvers by our Earth allies have led several small nations to seek redress of fiscal grievance for debts accrued at the hands of this invasive corporatocracy, and this adds to the legal prosecutorial portfolio being prepared by our Earth allies. A major bankruptcy and its consequences are anticipated. This lineup of sundry legal actions is to force the illegal US government from power; the world community can no longer afford to tolerate the injurious policies of this rogue regime. An about-face in global fiscal policy is now at the eleventh hour!

The pivot of this about-face is to have in place the structures to replace the numerous corporatocracies allied to the US regime. The dark and its minions have woven a complex web comprising nations in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America. In anticipation of this moment of regime change, the Earth allies have spent years putting together a series of temporary governments which are ready to come on line when the definitive financial showdown kicks in. This moment is close at hand. Once the new global financial system unfolds, an equally new political system will simultaneously come into being. Decades of truly diabolical intentions have been leading up to this moment: in the beginning, the dark possessed the technology to entice the naïve to join its ranks, and by the end of World War II, a dark master plan started to manifest. By the early 1960s, a devious plot for global enslavement and depopulation was well underway and set to reach maturity by the mid-1990s.

This met a speed bump in the person of the late president, John F. Kennedy. He defied the recommendations of the advisors and family surrounding him by instituting a plan for world peace and prosperity, the first step of which was a nuclear test ban treaty. Implementing the rest of his vision revolved around his 1964 reelection. He informed us of his intention to give a speech that would include disclosure of not only the benevolent ET presence but also the many off-world technologies acquired by the US secret government. By the early fall of 1963, Kennedy and Khrushchev were in secret discussions to create a US-Soviet non-aggression pact which was to lead to massive demilitarization on both sides and an announcement of the secret technologies held by both sides. We were ready to step in as needed to encourage peace and a non-nuclear future for your world. Kennedy's assassination by the US secret government brought this to an abrupt halt.

At the time of the American President's death, we did not yet possess a first contact edict for your world, nor were we involved in discussions with the Galactic Federation's Main Council concerning this topic. Earth's society was considered immature and lacking the elements for survival, and it was not until the early 1990s that Heaven's mandates sent us to your shores. Prior to that, a series of personal missions by various star-nations, such as the Pleiades and Sirius, were underway, all of which were unable to formally recommend Earth as being ready for a first contact. Instead, they were inclined toward a continuation of limited intervention. It must be borne in mind that you are the remnants of a former Galactic Federation colony, which means that watching over you and intervening when necessary is a right bestowed on us by Heaven.

The present circumstances are greatly tempered by what President Kennedy tried to instigate. He deeply wished to bring peace to your world and to transform the ubiquitous hate and schisms into Love and global cooperation. To this end, he drew up plans to bring in a new monetary system and to create an atmosphere conducive to peace and prosperity. As you can see, these goals were in consonance with those of our Earth allies. The Earth allies arise out of ancient secret societies dedicated to the Light and gain coherence from the deep yearning of many influential individuals who are children of the major dark-minion families. All these ones are committed to bringing you a new reality. They have linked with us to further these goals, which now include the return to full consciousness.

This diverse group is close to victory. Furthermore, we have apprised them of the prevailing heavenly timetable, under the exigencies of which the Galactic Federation is bound to institute a full first contact by a certain date. Thus we are honor-bound to monitor the actions of our Earth allies and to intervene if necessary. The time comes to move your reality into full consciousness. All has been carefully prepared: crystal cities in Agartha (Inner Earth) are ready to receive you; mentors have been trained and a vast dossier kept on each of you; the mechanism for full consciousness is in place. Only the dark now stands in your way, and they are ready to fall! The moment for showing what you are capable of has arrived. Come together! Your victory awaits!

Today, we discussed the roots of your present difficulties and the events leading up to first contact. Our Earth allies are focused on carrying out what needs to be done prior to our arrival. Be confident of your abilities to do what is necessary to prepare your societies for these glorious events! Know, dear Ones, in your Heart of Hearts that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

Love and Light - Namaste

I feel all alone here. And I really need some help. I desperately need some help.

I need a hero.

I am Reverend Brenda Shoop, BSN, RN and my husband and I are cannabis sacrament ministers.

View our Fox 10 News Story

We are recognized ministers of the gospel who have been called forth in the revelatory Word to preach the good news that Jesus is the Anointed with marijuana.

On September 15, 2006, armed officers of the law, based on an “anonymous tip”, invaded our private sanctuary, uprooted and stole our religious sacrament (growing in the ministry’s garden), along with other religious paraphernalia. We were not arrested nor detained at that time.

On November 15, 2006, we were indicted by a grand jury and charged with felony drug trafficking in marijuana, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. We continue to assert that we do not understand the nature and cause of these accusations.

View The Indictment

On December 13, 2006, we “turned ourselves in” at the Baldwin County Corrections Center and were each released on $25,000 appearance bond. The electronic monitoring requirement was lifted due to the fact that we were not considered a flight risk by the sheriff or the District Attorney’s office.

The next day, FOX News reporter Adam Walser showed up at our home. He told us that the story would run with or without our input, so we decided to speak to the reporter. Immediately after the story ran on the news, my husband and I both lost our local employment. See News Story

On January 11, 2007, our attorneys of record advised us to sign waivers regarding our arraignments and enter pleas answering as to the charges against us. We were not aware of our rights at that time, and our attorneys did not advise us that we had other rights as specified in Article 1, Section 6 of The Alabama Constitution. In hindsight, this was clearly not in our best interests, as we do not understand the nature and cause of the accusations against us and have been denied the opportunity to ask the District Attorney questions regarding this matter.

See: Plea of Not Guilty and Waiver of Arraignment

On April 24, 2007, my attorney filed a Motion to Dismiss (a motion I wrote) for Violation of Religious Freedom Restoration Act and Alabama Religious Freedom Amendment and Religious Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, noticing the court of my religious beliefs and the nature of my defense.

View the first Motion To Dismiss

I specifically asked my attorney of record if I was free to travel, and he replied that I was. In fact, my pretrial docket call scheduled for June 28, 2007 was rescheduled by my attorney in order to allow me to work in south Florida. He encouraged me to work whenever and wherever I could so that I could pay him his fees.

My case was originally set in front of Judge Reid, the presiding judge, and was transferred into Judge Wilters’ courtroom (drug court) between August 30 and September 18, 2007. I continue to assert that my case is not a drug case. My case is a religious freedom case involving constitutional issues.

On October 16, 2007, I filed an Affidavit of Prejudice regarding Judge Robert E. Wilters. This affidavit was based on what I had been told about Judge Wilters from officers of the court, along with published articles; Judge Wilters is notorious for imposing Draconian sentences for drug offenders. I truly believed that I would not get fair and impartial treatment in Judge Wilters’ courtroom. I filed the affidavit expecting Judge Wilters to recuse himself, and expecting the DA’s office to schedule a meeting to discuss an alternate judge.

View the Affidavit of Prejudice for Judge Wilters

Instead, on October 18, 2007, during a pre-trial docket call (with motions still outstanding), Judge Wilters allowed my attorney to quit without cause after I paid the attorney $2,500. This was obviously in retaliation for filing the Affidavit of Prejudice. I was scheduled for trial in 11 days, October 29, 2007, without my outstanding motions being scheduled for hearing. Judge Wilters ordered me back into court on October 29th to answer as to the question of counsel.

On October 19, 2007, my husband and I mailed and hand delivered a letter to the presiding judge, Judge Reid, informing him that we felt that we were being denied due process of law, and asserting that we firmly believed that we would be unable to receive a fair and impartial trial with Judge Wilters presiding. Judge Reid refused to speak to us, and his secretary told us that he said that there was nothing he could do to remedy the situation.

On October 24, 2007, due to the fact that Judge Wilters had not recused himself, and allowed our paid attorneys to quit our cases without cause, my husband and I filed a Motion to schedule an ex parte hearing pursuant to Alabama Constitution Section 160, and asked the presiding judge to issue an order to the district attorney to meet for the purposes of mutual agreement for a competent judge to be assigned to our cases. We also filed for a continuance until after such meeting could be arranged. This motion has also never been heard or ruled on.

On October 29, 2007 I filed an Affidavit by a Professional Registered Nurse in Relation to the Failure of the Alabama Bar Association to Provide Effectual Counsel in Drug Related Actions by the State.

View The Affidavit Here

On October 29, 2007, due to a family emergency requiring our presence out of the state, we sent our Bishop, the Right Reverend Gregory Karl Davis, to speak for us and answer the court as to counsel with signed and notarized filings. At that time, Bishop Davis testified on the record as to our status’ as ministesr of the gospel and delivered to the Assistant District Attorney the Doctrine of the Revelatory Word and his Public Notice of Clergy.

View this document here

On that day, I was ordered by Judge Wilters, through my Bishop, to appear in his courtroom within 48 hours or risk bond revocation.

On October 31, 2007, I appeared in Judge Wilters’ courtroom without counsel and my bond was not revoked, but amended by adding the color-coded drug screening, and by ordering me to stay in Alabama while my husband was allowed to return to the ailing family member in our charge in Florida. I objected to this on the record, stating that these conditions were against the mandates of my religion, and signed the Drug Testing Form under duress.

In order to comply with the mandates of my religion, I was ordered by my Bishop not to comply with these orders of the court. I filed an immediate appeal, but it was dismissed because my bond wasn’t revoked; it was only amended.

On December 11, 2007 the Assistant DA filed State’s Response to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss for Violation of RFRA, etc.

View the State's response here

I filed my reply to this on January 10, 2008.

View my reply to State's response here

On January 10, 2008, I appeared in Judge Wilters’ courtroom, without counsel, for a scheduled date to hear “all outstanding motions.”

The only motion that was heard that day was the Assistant District Attorney’s motion to revoke my bond. I was forced, against objections, to submit to a urine drug screen or face 5 days in jail for contempt of court. My Bishop was in court with me to testify as to the orders of the Church, but he was not allowed the opportunity to testify on my behalf.

I informed Judge Wilters that I needed time to make a decision, and he appointed a “temporary” public defender who happened to be nearby in the courtroom. This attorney, John Gamble, stated to me that he was not familiar with constitutional law. He stated that he did not do well in that class in law school.

The public defender advised me to submit to the test. Attorney Donald Bolton told my husband and I, while we were interviewing attorneys, that we could both “look forward to getting raped in jail,” and because of this, I was afraid of going to jail. I agreed to submit to the test. The public defender was then dismissed by Judge Wilters. Christine Welch from the Baldwin County Court Referral Office administered the test and reported that it was positive for marijuana. Judge Wilters immediately revoked my bond; I was placed under arrest and led off to jail in handcuffs.

I was incarcerated in the Baldwin County Corrections Center from January 10 until February 1, 2008. I was kept in a cellblock with no heat, forced to put poison on my head, denied any contact with my husband, denied a religious diet, denied a Bible, and forced to give my blood or be put into isolation.

On January 31, 2008, I was brought into Judge Wilters’ courtroom with my new court-appointed attorney for a bond hearing so that I could be released from incarceration. At that time, the DA tried to use intercepted email communications between other people discussing my situation to deny my release from incarceration. In spite of this, my bond was set at $50,000, secured with my mother’s home. I was placed on the color-coded drug testing program, and I was put under house arrest.

I cannot practice my religion under threat of incarceration. I also cannot leave my home to go to work, buy groceries, or attend church services without the same threat of incarceration. The conditions state that I am only allowed to go to court, appointments with my attorney, and the drug testing center.

I continue to assert that these conditions of bond substantially burden the sincere practice of my religion. My court-appointed attorney has refused to appeal these conditions. On April 3, 2008, I was notified by my attorney that the DA had filed another motion to revoke my bond and issue a writ of arrest, based upon a positive drug screen from March 25th and failure to pay drug screening fees to the Court Referral Office. ($80)

On April 11, 2008, I filed into the record an affidavit of facts regarding the qualifications of my expert witness, my Bishop. My appointed attorney tried to block me from filing this, stating that my Bishop would only be certified as a “custodian of the record” and not “clergy.” My Bishop is not allowed to testify under those conditions. And he is my KEY witness, testifying to the doctrine of the Universal Orthodox Church, of which he is the founding Bishop. This testimony is crucial to my defense. After trying to obtain advice on this, with no results, I decided to file it into the record myself (before my impending docket call on April 14th). I felt compelled to get these documents into the record while I still could. In fact, after entering this document into the record, I felt a tremendous weight lift from my shoulders.

I attended a pretrial docket call on Monday April 14, 2008 expecting to be put back into jail on that day. After arriving at the courtroom, my attorney served me with a motion to withdraw as counsel. He stated in his motion that I continue to file papers pro se, against advice of counsel, and we cannot have a functional relationship because of this. He also stated that he was afraid of a post-conviction lawsuit claiming ineffectual of counsel. My attorney obviously believes that I will be convicted of all charges.

On this day, the judge was not present in the courtroom; his secretary was handling the scheduling of trials for the next session. The DA’s motion to revoke my bond was not mentioned. Also, my attorney’s motion to withdraw was not recognized and he was ordered to appear with me on April 22, 2008 for our motions hearing.

My attorney also stated that the DA will most likely move to strike the documents containing my Bishop’s qualifications as an expert witness.

As stated above, the last time I was in court for a motion hearing, on January 10, 2008, the only motion heard was the DA’s motion to revoke my bond, and I was incarcerated. If history repeats itself, I expect to find myself in jail until the next trial session in August, without any of my motions being heard.

I have been continuously blocked from defending myself against these clearly unconstitutional actions of the state. I continue to assert that the use and cultivation of marijuana is mandated by my religion, and so protected by the First Amendment, the Alabama Religious Freedom Amendment, and the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. My current bond conditions are also unconstitutional under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.

This drama has been going on since September 15, 2006. Since that time, even though I have not been convicted of any crime, I have lost my job; my nursing license is under investigation; my body has been illegally searched (pee testing); I have been incarcerated and separated from my husband; I have been put under house arrest; I have been prevented from defending myself; I have been treated like a drug addict and criminal; and I have lost hope that the right and lawful actions will occur in my case.

I have lost all faith in the legal system and I have no one with whom I can place my trust.

If you are unable to help me, please forward my information to someone who you believe is able and willing.

And just in case I get placed back into custody on April 22, my address will be

Brenda Williams 86972
200 Hand Ave
Bay Minette, AL 36507

If I am not incarcerated on April 22, you can email me at Brenda@GreenEarthMinistries.org or call me at 251-753-8612.

THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU!

Religious freedom was the basis for the founding of our country, and it makes me sad that even here in the so-called Bible Belt, religious tolerance is severely lacking. No one was harmed due to plants growing in a garden. No one in the surrounding community knew who we were until the news cameras showed up.

The funny thing is…..if we bought our sacrament from the black market instead of growing it ourselves, no one would have EVER known we were here. But because we desired purity of our sacrament, we are each facing 10 years in prison and the rest of our lives as convicted felons. Neither one of us has ever been arrested before. I don’t understand why we are being treated so badly.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Thank you,

The other day while in court I remember the judge saying to me, "your not going to like this" as he was getting ready to hand down the next chapter of this really crazy reality called the War on Drugs to my wife and I.

That's not the kind of thing you really want to hear come out of your judges mouth knowing full well that this guy is already pissed off at you for pointing out his clearly recognized prejudice against people who are involved with drugs of any kind.

We recently met an ex-cop whose conscience finally got the better of him. His name is Barry Cooper and he is speaking out against the War on Drugs, knowing first hand that it IS a crime against humanity.

Check out Barry's new video Never Get Busted Again by visiting his website at NeverGetBusted.com

Over and Out!

Cannabis is a sacrament that was given to us by God!

I want to share a recent letter we received from our good friend and faithful crusader of our God given human and civil rights, Reverend Roger Christie...

Hello Bruce and Brenda,

Aloha. Nice going! Those quotes make me feel good and, in my opinion, can only help your situation.

And that plant of yours! It's an "urban legend", or it will be with a little promotion and photoshopping. :-} I can 'see' it now!

Also, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brande is said back in the 1930's (I think) that the mosttreasured right in the USA is 'the right to be left alone'. Simple as that. Let's bring that thinking back in favor.

If they were the most determining factor of your - and everyone's - prosecution we could, you could, win your case and get-on with building the glorious, legal Cannabis future. Here's where it gets really interesting to me:

In my understanding of metaphysics, the winning factor above them all is 'mana'; your inner spiritual strength (sincerity and certainty) and vision + manners, your respect and forgiveness for all concerned. The legal stuff comes second to the spirituality, or "the context is more valuable than the content".

It's about going from victim to victory! From the inside - out. See Revelations 22:14.

Do you have knowledge of the value of laws (like Cannabis prohibition) that go against the Constitution? They are null and void according to famous Supeme Court decisions and other legal precedents.

"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are
null and void." Marbury vs. Madison 1803.

"No one is bound to obey an un-Constitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it." 16 American Jurisprudence 2d. Sec. 177.

I love that stuff! I hope it helps you to build your
mana even more then it already is, and to simplify your legal position effectively.

It seems to me that your higher selves (through the giant plant!) brought this case to you as a great gift to open your new Ministry with. You are 'building your church upon the stone the builders rejected'.

Hallelu-Jah!

All the very best to you and yours,

Roger

The War on Drugs is a War on our own loved ones!... What good could come of that?

The Religious Freedom Rights of Pastor Rev. Craig X Rubin is being trampled on ...a Messanic Jew, who believes Jesus the Christ is the Messiah, he is a Christian Cannabis Sacrament Minister who burns Cannabis as a sacred incense in Prayer and Supplication in the Name of the Lord Jesus... Cannabis... known as Kaneh Bosem in Hebrew Text and interpreted in our bible as Sweet Cane ...Fragrant Cane an illegal controlled substance according to the D.E.A. but a herbal plant created by God according to scriptures.

This Brother has seven children and a pregnant wife he has a Church in LA on Hollywood Blvd. called the Temple 420 . Yes folks 420 is mentioned in the bible...don't you recall the 4 and 20 elders...

this man is being denied his constitutional rights to practice his faith...his church and church donations were taken from him and his church doors were beated in by state and FBI agents as they held a guns to his head in the middle of raid on his church during service ...he is being denied the freedom to practice his religion in this country and he is being denied by LA superior Court Judge Mary H. Strobel the Right to claim the Federal Religious Freedom Rights Act as a means of his defense. Brother Craig X Rubin desires our Prayers and support...

Please write and file a complaint against this Judge Mary H. Strobel whodenied him his const itutional right .... send your complaint to the First Freedom Project committee..at

A Word from Brother Craig X to the Churches in America

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - "I live in the City of Angels where the Mayor cheats on his wife, the City Attorney cheats the tax payers and I teach the Word of God and the love of Jesus and I am being sent to prison for several years," says Rev. Craig X Rubin. I love my country, but I love God more and I must teach the Truth that Jesus proclaimed a Kingdom not a religion. The Truth is that Jesus is Messiah. He was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. The Law and the prophets spoke the Word of God and all the prophecies of the Bible will come to pass and that is all that our temple taught.

"My name is Rev. Craig X Rubin. I was ordained by the Universal Life Church 17 years ago. A church that will ordain anyone for free, not for a fee as the AP (Associated Press) is reporting. Everyone, the prosecutors and press, seem to be making a big deal out of the fact that anyone can become ordained to marry people in the name of God by this church. I love God; always have and always will. As far as I am concerned I don't need to be ordained by anyone to teach the Word of God. His Law is written in my heart and I have not broken it. Abraham Lincoln was a self-taught lawyer and no one would say he was a bad lawyer. My great-grandfather was a rabbi who founded the first temple in Toronto. It is in my blood to teach God's Word, so it should not be important which church ordained me.

"I don't feel one ounce of remorse for the crime I am about to go to jail for. In fact, I continued to commit my supposed crime for 9 months after my arrest and no person's health or safety in the State of California was compromised. My only crime is wanting to reach people of my community, stoners (the 420 Nation) with the Word of God. I never talked anyone into smoking pot. I taught them that God created this wonderful plant and that they should study the Word of God as known through the Bible to know the will of God. I am now going to be taken from our society and my seven children, all of whom live at home, for many years for my faith that cannabis is the Tree of Life. My wife and I had no presumption of innocence as this country proclaims. We had our life savings seized and lost our house all because we started a church.

"This is my warning to fellow Christians in America. If you didn't stand up for my church when they came in with shotguns and kicked down my church doors, when they took the names of my church members and kept them from us, took our U.S. federal mail, seized my wife's and my life's savings without a conviction of any kind (and we have no criminal record) then I ask you...who will stand up for your church when the federal government comes marching in because you are teaching that God created all the plants on the third day; Or when you teach the Book of Revelation... who will stand up for you? I never changed one word from the Book of Revelation and now I am going to be spending years in jail for my faith that the Book is inspired by Jesus Christ.

"In my case the judge ruled that I was not allowed to mention the federal law or the Constitution to the jury because it might confuse them. I was not allowed to give the jury a copy of the Bible. They might actually think we had rights in this country. The prosecutor, Bob Chen, even objected when I told the jury that inalienable rights were not given to us by the government, but they came from God. I am a Jew who came to know that Jesus was the Messiah, but I am still a Jew. I can no longer make Aliyah, the Jewish right of return, to Israel a land I have prayed for my whole life. It was my prayer and still is that one day I'll live there near Jerusalem and I will be able to visit the Holy City often. Currently, the country of Israel won't accept me anymore because I am a Jew who puts faith in the fact that Jesus was the Messiah. The funny thing is I feel more Jewish than ever now that I believe in Jesus and I know the Law and the prophets more intimately.

"My only request of my fellow followers of Christ is that you pray for my children during this hour of struggle for my family. Lastly, since this will be my last comment for a while is that you recognize I didn't go fishing for Christians in an aquarium when I started my church. I went to Hollywood - a city with more sin than Las Vegas. I reached the homeless, people in the business of pornography, prostitution; I didn't try and steal Christians from other people's churches. I went to people who didn't have God in their lives and I taught them the Bible, the Word of God, according to my mission and because I was successful at it I am now going to jail."

May God Bless Brother Craig X Rubin and his family. I Pray for their peace and comfort during these trying times! Your faith and commitment to the truth will not go in vain!

Exerpt from High Times (Published 7/6/07) by Jon Gettman

Marijuana and Religion

Is the religious use of marijuana protected by the U.S. Constitution? The Ethiopian Coptic Church believes it is, and this important question is the subject of a lawsuit recently filed in Federal Court by Carl Olsen.

The Supreme Court has previously recognized the legitimate use of other drugs for religious purposes. The use of mescaline in Native American religious rituals is the most notable and well-known example of a religious exemption for otherwise illegal drug use. In 2006 the Supreme Court also recognized a legal justification for the use of the entheogen ayahuasca.

In 1993 the United States Congress passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which states that the “Government shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion without compelling justification.” In 2000 Congress passed the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which established a general rule that “no government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution.”

According to Olsen these statutory rules have great relevance to the subject of the religious use of marijuana. “Broad construction of the RLUIPA means that any deprivation of liberty by a state law enforcement agency would...

Folks... this 21 year old from Portland Oregon sure can pen some cool blog posts. I stumbled upon him at MySpace and added his blog to my profile. The articles are thought provoking and genuinely inspiring. An impressive young man with very spiritual vision. Visit his blog sometime and tell him I sent you over. You will learn something about yourself by reading his thoughts.

Ross, I hope you find me back here on PlanetWebSite someday. I'm doing this as a test to see how many people will raise up their spirits to the level of yours for just a few minutes of their lives here on the global webisphere.

You are right about the energy we can feel around others and the noise that we all have in our heads. And the glow. The Love. God is here with us, and his presence is multiplied equally by the number of people that choose to share his presence together.

Silently!
even in cyberspace... we are in the presence of God.

Peace & Love To You Ross.

I want to share an e-mail message from my Mom with The Global Webisphere. In spite of caring for my ailing father with no will to live, she never ceases to amaze me with her tireless works of human kindness. Thanks Mom for the very touching story below and your amazing faith. I Love YOU very much!

from Mom...

I went to Hospice last Thursday to do a Funeral Mass for the most enlightening lady, she brought so much LIFE to my heart. I went back today just to PRAY with her, and there was a man who joined us, and HE too came from our church. NOW, I had 2, I visited with then for about 30 minutes, and I asked IF I could pray with them. What a beautiful, wonderful way to pray. It comes from one heart to another............Barbara

I read the story below, but it's worth re-sending..

Titled: I went to a hospital last Thursday night...

A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. "Your son is here," she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, s queezing a message of love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.

He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine wa s oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.

"Who was that man?" he asked.

The nurse was startled, "He was your father" she answered.

"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."

"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"

"I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."

The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.
We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.

Take Care and God Bless.

Hey Folks!

Here is a great example of how to see the glass "half full" instead of "half empty".

I want to thank one of my favorite elementary school teachers and hard working Mom, Dawn Fein, for this gentle reminder that God works in mysterious ways.

PLEASE NOTE: I received this through e-mail and left it as I found it. The thing I like about this author is that they don't guilt you into forwarding the message, something I've had a pet peeve over now for many years!

The 'L I T T L E' Things

As you might know, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was
his turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her
alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of an auto accident.

One of them
missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.

One's
car wouldn't start.

One went back to
answer the telephone.

One had a
child that dawdled.
and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.

One couldn't
get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man
who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
took the various means to get to work
but before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a band-aid.
That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am
stuck in traffic,
miss an elevator,
turn back to answer a ringing telephone...
all the little things that annoy me,
I think to myself,
this is exactly where
God wants me to be
at this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be
going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed,
you can't seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light,
don't get mad or frustrated;
God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you
with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.
Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.
There is NO LUCK attached.
If you delete this, it's okay;
God's Love Is Not Dependent On
E-Mail !!

(and that's the cool part)
AMEN

Live well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your heart!
