yeah speaking truth as i know it doesnt always please everybody, sometimes not anyone and being a humanitarian there are times i keep quiet out of love..thinking only the strong can choose not to be cruel and thus choose to keep my truth to myself.
found out long ago people near death and really young children and really elderly people speak soul truth..the in-between..so many 'taught games' ..i love volunteering with the dying because it is such an honor to finally be past all superficial 'stuff' we fill our lives and minds with..I know we do it to survive/play a life role..etc.
rereading PEACE PILGRIM ..i am completely speechless that she walked over twenty thousand miles on foot across the usa carrying only a toothbrush and a comb..fasting unless offered food and sleeping anywhere (floors, really anywhere!) unless offered shelter.
her degree of truth is something i aspire to, in my own unique way of course..never could do her trip. but she was so simple, clear and truthful..
Hello, I'm new here.....I can get really, really ANGRY if anyone hurts an animal...and I let them know it..! Can be dangerous...but I can't help myself.
Glad to be here!!!...the truth for animals is that humans are very close to being the devil - not in all cases, but in many cases. This is my biggest anger problem.
Warmest regards to all - Nellie.....thanks Donna for the invite!!
Donna, thanks for the invitation to your group. I think this will be a most interesting, controversial and dynamic group. I see a lot of my friends here, Aisha, Ravyne, (oops, brain malfunction memory overload!), Celene, oh and Donna....HI to all my friends. To new friends, hi and looking forward to getting to know you. This should be great. Will be here as often as possible (stretched thin right now, lol).

Sandi for the invite. Finding the truth, knowing the truth...a fine line. Injustice...Truth....i feel like poking a sharp pointed stick in someones eye when people claim to keep the truth from us for our own good, or that we must live with the injustice of some to benefit the many. I know, the stick in the eye thing...not right.
Anyway, glad to be here and look forward to the posts.
thoughts and prayers,
john

Sandi, Thanks for the invite! February 09, 2005 8:42 AM
one of the reasons i like message boards so much, is that my opinion, my truth, is actually welcomed.... well, mostly... In casual conversation however, I find that my truth is rarely, if ever, solicited. It has taken many years for me to learn to not give what has not been asked for. For unsolicited opinion is rarely understood in the manner in which it was offered. just my experience...
Viva le Care2!!
Peace

Wow, this is such a great idea, thank you for thinking of me! It's great to find and be approached by a group of people who are unafraid to stand up for the truth, speak the truth and live the truth! It's apparent to me that censorship is alive and well at Care2, what a relief to find a group that actually WANTS to hear the truth!
[report anonymous abuse]
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I know were/are pissed,.. but I did't mean to imply anything. I hope we can put this behind us, I enjoy you friendship dearly. It broke me to know you were so upset.
WOW a great bunch of Truth Warriors so far. Nice to meet all of you. And please, call me Feather. Thats about as soft as I get when it comes to some truths.
I am not afraid to put it on the network either. I have been attacked there a few times, however the positive replies I get actually override the negatives. It does boggle me all the censorship that does happen here. I love the ones that say......cant you tone it down......or what happened to love and peace and light? Well, you can trust that if I didnt love this Earth I wouldnt be talking.
I love life enough to speak the truth and if your feelers get hurt, well thats the worst hurt you will get from me.
" speaking truth as i know it" - that was very well said, Joy I think the biggest clashes happen when "my" truth isn't the same as "your" truth...
and a lot of the times it's just a question of "choice of words" - like 'censorism' - 'editing' - 'deleting messages'... same thing, different names, all just as "true" - and totally different.
But I'm not afraid of fighting for the truth "as I know it" either As many of you know...
Thanks Sandi for the invite, the truth shines thru in the end! So it's best to start off with it! Look forward to getting to know you all more..;O)

Wow, I do see alot of familiar faces here, which is great! Thanks, Sandi, for bringing this group to my attention! I don't know if I'm getting more full of piss and vinegar as I get older, but it seems I have less tolerance for deceptions, delusions, etc.....
Glad to be here, thanx for the invite; An intro. :) February 16, 2005 8:15 PM

I'm a known advocate, mental health professional, writer and poet; especially in the U.S..
On truth, remembering that life is a path and not a goal is important, same for truth, it is ever-changing (which is the only constant in the universe); that's why I think of myself more like a truth seeker than warrior of it. For e.g., concerning the united suck of amnesia's turning its slow motion blitzkrieg of all life, that it has been devolving reality with for decades, into a much quicker version; "we..." must remember that it is always far worse than any of us think it is, and it only will get worse, and possibly far worse before the blitzkrieg is ended, if it is before it causes the extinction of humanity and large mammals. To say there isn't a second to spare would be an understatement. Another e.g., the republican conspiracy's (dempublicans and remocrats) 'getting away with' their latest and most vivid treasonous acts, purposely not preventing the attacks of 9-11, has, seemingly allowed them to do untold more treasonous acts behind their seemingly invincible shield of plausible deniability; made so by their manufacturing perception and consent, etc.. Yet, my observation of a couple decades ago is accurate, whatever a remocrat says, the opposite is almost, if not exactly, the truth; and this can be proven by breaking up their delusional constructs, and breaking them down to the facts. So, while they commit constant treason and pathologically lie, to the point of criminal insanity, those of the people that aren't already corporate agents, are far more vulnerable to their lies than usual, and they're the only ones we have any hope of enlightening to the truth, reality, so there's no time, whatever we can do must be done asap; i.m.h.o..
Enjoy a festive eve' as you can. Copy, share, as you will. Lest "we" forget, if you don't exercise responsibility, its Siamese sister, freedom, will wither, as well. Sadly, now, it first needs to be exorcized be fore its exercised. Viva la evolution!
Matutinally Yours, james m nordlund reality (aja)
For those interested "of or pertaining to the morning, day: relating to or happening in the morning or in the early part of the day (formal), (Mid-16th century, from late Latin matutinalis, from Matuta, goddess of the dawn.)" Music is life's song accompanying the abundance of joy's Spring. I look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye.
I must say though that for someone who seeks truth rather than being a warrior for it (as you said), you sure do give quite a Truth Warriors war cry (in your post) as to why there is a crying need for Truth Warriors. Truth in the world is under attack!
Thanks Sandi for the invite. I too have the tendancy to speak the truth and it either makes people dispise me or say that they want to be like me. I have people that try and hush me but that never works. Growing up I use to be a people pleaser and not try to ruffle any feathers. I found that didnt work. Then I just got fed up with keeping how I was thinking and feeling in. If anyone knows about astrology I am a Libra and I constantly think of is something fair to everyone conserned. So now I think is it fair for me not to say anything. That is when I started speaking the truth and became a truth warrior.
Just thought I'd sneak in here quietly February 17, 2005 4:01 PM
as you lot are obviously shy, unassuming and reticent about speaking your minds! Bit like me really.
I should feel right at home, errr, I think.
>gulp<
uh oh, misread the title... I thought it said Truth Worriers!
Guess I'd better sneak quietly out now before anyone notices my shadow...
bye
love n' harmony

donna! the fiery earth! hmm...well, here i am again.
i would like to know why monsanto acts like the antichrist. hmmm...rupert murdoch owns my soul...disney ate my children. i am not joking. i think the little buggers were just swallowed up by micky mouse.
anyway...rupert is telling me to watch fox & direct TV, listen to clear channel & whatnot. i think i am going shake quietly in the corner.

A PRAYER FOR ALL TO LIVE BY Great Spirit Prayer
"Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind,
Whose breath gives life to all the world.
Hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others.
Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy
Myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS AND HOPE I CAN HELP IN THE GROUP,A FRIEND TO ALL IN NEED,TRUST IN THE GREAT SPIRIT TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL YOU NEEDS.
thanks for the invitation!the truth is there if seen or not+ comes out once as it´s her natural law!we can be a part of her or against,we can do our best.....let´s hope!

Good day, all. Thanx for posting! I hope you and yours are well and will continue to be. Cool group. Good lines of inquiry and questions. Yes, I do mke a gret case for being one, thanx I geuss the pointless point I was trying to point towards was that it's so easy to follow a sensationalist, romanticized, idealized conception of oneself or others, or groups, etc., yet, it's far more real and harder to walk the walk; than it is to talk the talk. For, we can't forget that the corporate structure's convolution's direction of devolution has been so effective in part because it has coopted, converted, subverted, transfigured real movements, ideals, and struggles with their divide and conqeur devices, greed, etc.. So, they purport to be the revolution and the oligarchy, without batting an eye, for e.g.. So, I find myself not wanting to allow myself or others to ego me, either by my congratulating myself with macho terms, or in any other way. Therefore, a qeustion I would have for myself would be, what am I doing to warrant the 'use' of the word warrior in relation to me; if I were interested in 'using' the word at all. You're right, there's a great need for them, yet, I've no need to call myself one. More clear? All, what do you think? Lest "we" forget, if you don't exercise responsibility, its Siamese sister, freedom, will wither, as well. Sadly, now, it first needs to be exorcized before its exercised. Copy, share, as you will. Enjoy an estival eve'. I look forward....
THANKS FOR THE INVITATION. April 08, 2005 12:12 PM
i scanned a few of these on my way to the bottom to sign in. I know how alot of us feel.I have lived with that feeling most of my life. (except when I move away from this town i live in) I have been treated like a freak, looked at like I alot of bricks short of a full load, stigmatizwd like crazy as kid, but enough of that. I guess i have always been a warrior I stasnd up for the little guy, the disadvantaged. the poor and so forth, my political leanings prove where i stand, though I will admit to one or two conservative leanings.
