Clarification..... >>NOTE: Except for this thread, I've had ZERO/NO contact with Michael Jordan or any individual about this vision prior to today.>> Please note, I've never met the man and he doesn't know me -indirectly or otherwise. But a "Jeff Jordan" started this thread. And I believe exposing, uncovering and freely talking about the black & white truth about our financial systems are at the root of the Civil Rights that Martin Luther King fought and marched peacefully over until his untimely death 32 years ago. There are those # 2 and # 3 digits again!! 32 - 23 For the universal rights which all men have been blessed with come not from governments or systems, but from our creator alone. And if you dig into the problems mankind has encountered over the realization and protection of these universally personal civil rights one will discover that the structure of our financial systems - which rely and feed on human trust - is vitally important. For if there are leaks and unfairness in these systems then our financial rights have been undermined. And when these rights are undermined they war against all our other rights here on this earth. Another individual who should have a lot to say about this issue is the Reverend Jesse Jackson who has established a new place of financial influence on the floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange, my old stomping grounds. 2 1/2 years ago Reverend Jackson was welcomed in a dinner on the floor of The Chicago Stock Exchange in support of Operation Push. Leaders from the entire Chicago financial community where there with him. That same evening, by simple fate - as I was not invited to the Push dinner, nor did I seek an invitation - for I was in the heart of the west side of Chicago speaking to a group of 11 individuals from a group called The Winners Circle that had one thing in common - they were out of state prison for more than 1 1/2 years and had beat the recitivism odds relative to 90+% of those released. I told the 11 in attendence about my personal story of discovery, redemption, challenge, peace and light. The energies in that room may have been - initially or otherwise - highly sceptical of me, but a fellow who I had reached out to hire who knew these guys provided a welcoming path of introduction. After I spoke, all 11 went around in a circle to comment on what I had just said - their initial negative vibes and questions and all, etc. There's a follow-up to this story that is still not complete. For I risked and sowed and risked and sowed for the better part of 6-8 months throughout the west side of Chicago. There were even times my wife and my two little-little boys were in our white Minivan at a McDonalds at 10 pm in the evening working with some folks in one of the roughest parts of the city and we were the only outsiders around. Bottom line: the guy I hired turned out to be a white collar criminal and the some of the folks in the network I freely and openly walked into were working with him. I had to reach out and solve some problems directly by rolling up my sleeves and confronting the issues face to face. This opened up more doors. There was "failure" in the world's use of the word, but behind there was white light as this was great work with great interactions. We were instrumental in providing the initial seed funding for 23+ Nextel phones which the state of IL had been promising to fund for 6+ months for a private community action policing project in the heart of the south side of Chicago. The state eventually came through with the funding, but we were there simply stepping into a micropoint in time before leaving. I'd say the west and south side of Chicago is better off today for the little we did then. Now my focus - again by simple serendipity - happens to be East St. Louis, IL and, by extension Belize Mexico. East St. Louis is in far worse shape, by the standards of those who define/label and judge these things than Chicago ever was. But on my last trip down there as I was standing on the front doorstep of the Rev. Kenny Blue Campbell's front doorstep along Martin Luther King Blvd. at 2 am in the morning, I told him.... "Kenny, I don't care what ANYBODY says about this place....it's a paradice to me!!" I told him there were gleaming energies everywhere that there going to shine like a bright white star for all of man to wonder at as East St. Louis - which is called "Little Chicago" - rises from the ashes of mankind's dark judgement and definition of it. We enslave ourselves and others by the definitions and labels we used to interact with the world. If we are about defining & labelling things what we are really doing is akin to possessing and controlling things that fit/mirror our definitions. Others may see darkness in East St. Louis where I see a magnificent WHITE LIGHT of ENERGY AND LOVE!! I not only SAY THIS, but I fervently and totally - without ANY doubt BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE ALREADY!!!. And if I share - or any of us share - this kind of white hot faith/belief in the power of the individual to CREATE anything, then this simple act of sowing energy/belief and faith as an act of LOVE is all that's needed. For the universal intelligence and ONE source of energy and light and love takes over from there. There is so much slavery all over the world and we don't even understand it. And it's not just those areas which others define as problems. It's in the separation and opposition to this light/energy and love within us. With the help of people like Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Ken Bleu Campbell - and his partner, Gary Noble (former starting wide receiver for the LA Raiders) there is NO doubt whatsoever we can all start to unlock and embrace this New Spiritual Reserve System for the benefit and redemption of all mankind. Peace. Light!! GO!!
