Do you remember?

Do you remember a time, long ago, when we walked hand in hand?
A time when you knew, a time when you grew, a time before the fall?

Do you remember a time when you and I walked as one, played as one, sang as one? We were one...
A time not so long ago, before the great fall, before the pain and before the dying. Do you ever remember FLYING?

A time when you were young, a time when the whole world was still new.
You knew nothing, but felt everything. Things were just as they were.
Do you remember when 'real' was just another word for feel?

I speak of a time before Eve, a time before Adam; A time when things only existed while they happened...
This was a time when you were you, but you were also me. I was within you, and you were within me too.

A time of beauty, unparalleled to anything ever witness in all the universes.
You were my conception, at the start, the very first inception.

Do you remember when you were free? Now, you struggle and fight, you are in a world you feel you must flee...
This is a time in which you have come here for a purpose. What solutions do you feel? What ideas do you propose.
You are here as a seed, an idea, a catalyst for those who are in need.

Through seperation, through identity, through ego, you shall grow and cultivate the idea of singularity.
Amidst duality, one can see chaos. Through this chaotic energy, infinite potential and re-order occur under the highest divine will.

Outward ever expanding, particles randomly interact and collide creating understanding.
Inwardly evolving, outwardly growing, through attraction and love we will gain the highest satisfaction.

Do you remember? Do you remember a time when you and me, we were one?
Come walk with me, hand in hand, and lets reminise in bliss.

I like my tea, WITHOUT the drugs. thank you :)

Excerpt written by Adriane Colvin, Boardmember/Co-founder of Burning Tea Cup L.L.C.

Perhaps my blogs scare people.

No one comments! hahahaha I'll try to write some positive thoughts in here some day.

I experienced something today...

I experienced a moment of great sadness, depression, and other unpleasant emotions earlier today. I'm not entirely clear on what it was, or why it was there, but my best guess would be to point out the importance of honoring our Creator and all that is provided from the creator. I realized how selfish it was to feel sadness, to pity oneself... It almost feels foolish. I have no shame in any emotion I experience. I understand that such things are there for reasons, and like all things, happen for reasons.

I feel it was to remind me to be thankful. I could be worse off. I could be living out of a box, I could be living in another body of a tormented soul in Darfur, I could be a small starving child. I could be and probably have been many of these things before. Instead, I am me, I am here, I am fed, I am clothed, I am happy, I am whole, and I AM blessed. Therefore, due to having the place that I have in this life, I should honor God, honor myself, and honor those around me who assist me in my growth. Why I felt such an outcry for help earlier, I do not know. I believe it was due to the conditions I was experiencing, in which I was put in a place of feeling powerless. I felt powerless to fulfill my duties, to fulfill my obligations, and to do as I said I would do. Whether conditions permit me to do so or not, I felt helpless, and for me that is a very hard thing to deal with. I'm used to feeling very alive and full of energy, powerful but not all powerful... I'm normally quite content where I am at.

The past year has been hard. This has been due to my own conditions, and I KNOW WHY IT HAS BEEN HARD. At the beginning of this year, I made a deal with the Universe. I said, "Alright, I'm tired of this bullshit. I want someone in my life that will love me endlessly, think the world of me, and commit to me as I would commit to her." I also made the statement, "I will give up everything I have to find this woman, to experience this happiness, to be with my soulmate."

Sure enough, it happened. I love my wife. She is everything to me and I got EVERYTHING I had asked for... I also paid for it heavily. I sold my first car for $500, a 1995 eagle talon, TSI all-wheel drive, turbo-charged monster. I put 7k into it ,and got five-hundred dollars out of it! It was insane. Secondly, I bought a NEW, brand new car. In July, I had to sell it. I quit my job for no apparent reason other than I wanted to spend time with my wife. I was working at Dell, making alright money. I have been in the computer business a while and made it my major, and right now I could be really set if I hadn't set myself up this way. I did so, FOR A PURPOSE.

A stripping of all material possessions generally occurs when a new leg of life, or a change in the master record of your soul takes place. Old patterns, old habits, old systems, old thoughts need to be purged. A purging did indeed take place.

Now that I have set this cycle into action, I wonder what is next! This is the question that torments me at times. I am looking at possible surgery on my right hand for an instable thumb, MCM instability is very hard to keep fixed. I could work, but I supposedly need to have surgery to fix this. Burning Tea Cup! I want nothing more than to get BTC up and running! This is my whole dream right now. It has been difficult to juggle both surviving without money, and working on BTC; because BTC requires money at times. Money to print, money to buy programs, money to buy industry research, etc. A lot of it coming out of my own pocket... I want nothing more than to see this happen... I'm tired of witnessing people suffer because there is no other way yet.

So here I am, stripped naked and exposed, and I pray for an answer. What next?

I AM Thankful...

I AM thankful for me, I AM thankful for You, I AM thankful for nourishment, I AM thankful for water, I AM thankful for happiness, I AM thankful for pain which causes growth, I AM thankful for the world around me, I AM thankful for the light , I AM thankful for the dark, I AM thankful for the place I rest my head, I AM thankful for the comfort of sitting indoors, I AM thankful for heat, I AM thankful for seasons, I am thankful for the seasons of my life and BEing, and I AM thankful mostly for YOU my Father...

Amen.
Namaste.

35. We are Human capital. (Executive Order 13037)

36. The UN has financed the operations of the United States government for over 50 years and now owns every man, women and child in America. The UN also holds all of the Land in America in Fee Simple. *

37. The good news is we don't have to fulfill "our" fictitious obligations. You can discharge a fictitious obligation with another's fictitious obligation. *

38. The depression and World War II were a total farce. The United States and various other companies were making loans to others all over the World during the Depression. The building of Germanys infrastructure in the 1930's including the Railroads was financed by the United States. That way those who call themselves "Kings," "Prime Ministers," and "Fuher,"etc could sit back and play a game of chess using real people. Think of all of the Americans, Germans etc. who gave their lives thinking they were defending their Countries which didn't even exist. The millions of innocent people who died for nothing. Isn't it obvious why Switzerland is never involved in these fiascoes? That is where the "Bank of International Settlements" is located. Wars are manufactured to keep your eye off the ball. You have to have an enemy to keep the illusion of "Government" in place. *

39. The "United States" did not declare Independence from Great Britain or King George. *

40. Guess who owns the UN?

A Short History Of Secret US Human Biological Experimentation

1931 Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He
later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities
in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy
Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments
on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.

1932 The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with
syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead
are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms
of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families
never told that they could have been treated.

1935 The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from
Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts
to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at
least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to
act since most of the deaths occured within poverty-striken black
populations.

1940 Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to
study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease.
Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend
their own actions during the Holocaust.

1942 Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on
approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and
made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs
rather than serve on active duty.

1943 In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S.
begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.
1944 U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing.
Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and
lewisite.

1945 Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army
intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them
immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects
in the United States.

1945 "Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
(AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride,
which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of
the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked
adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the
information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits
would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs.

1946 Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical
experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change
the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever
reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals.

1947 Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Comission issues
a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the
agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to
human subjects.

1947 The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by
American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are
used with and without their knowledge.

1950 Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in
desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality
rates.

1950 In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city
would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from
ships over San Franciso. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city
in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with
pneumonia-like symptoms.

1951 Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing
bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that
people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.

1953 U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over
Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in
Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently
they could disperse chemical agents.

1953 Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of
thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne
germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.

1953 CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research
program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be
used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the subprojects
involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.

1955 The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human
populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from
the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.

1955 Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential
use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans
participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.

1956 U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over
Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing
as public health officials test victims for effects.

1958 LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare
Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.

1960 The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI)
authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european
population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian
population is code named Project DERBY HAT.

1965 Project CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a
program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of
mind-altering drugs.

1965 Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are
subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in
VietNam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which
indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.

1966 CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological
effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.

1966 U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the
New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when
army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation
grates.

1967 CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor
to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and
chemical weapons.

1968 CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by
injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.
1969 Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from
congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological
agent to which no natural immunity exists.

1970 Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R.
15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the
Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological
weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are
used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.

1970 United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons"
(Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate
specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and
variations in DNA.

1975 The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare
Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed
under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that
a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly
to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists
isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human
T-cell Leukemia Virus).

1977 Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239
populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between
1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key
West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

1978 Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC,
begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects
specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.

1981 First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York,
Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have
been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine

1985 According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a
fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and
evolutionary relationship.

1986 According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
(83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all
structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV.
This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce
a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.

1986 A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current
generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally
occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic
engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing
vaccines.

1987 Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning
research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research
facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.

1990 More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los
Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed
for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never
informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.

1994 With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at the
MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning
Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma
incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons.
Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat,
indicating that it had been man-made.

1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at
least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of
military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous
substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing
radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War .

1995 U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals
and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and
immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.

1995 Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents
used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton,
Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.

1996 Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were
exposed to chemical agents.

1997 Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an
investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.

The Man

I'm sitting in the closet eating a can of beans... There is no source of heat to keep warm, no friendship to engage my mind. All I encounter here are my can of beans, and darkness. If it were light, perhaps I could read the label. What would be seen if I could only truly read what the label said?

Say, where is the light switch?

I trace the wall and find nothing... No light switch. Someone must have removed it... Maybe I can find the light bulb? I reach up, can of beans in one hand, the other searching for something unknown amidst the dark confusion. There once was light, right? Perhaps I've gone crazy. Who would have thought of something like that? Light, to see? Hmmm. I feel slightly disoriented. It could help if I could see.

It's cold... My beans are cold. The can makes them taste funny. My mouth tingles after every bite. Then I forget my thoughts of it and move onto something else, like how to make my beans hot.... Wait! What was my last thought? Light? Could I not heat my can with light?

Another bite goes on... Well, where is the door handle? I search around with my hands, though I have these slimy beans covering them. I smear it along what I can only imagine to be a wall, searching for some exit. Another bite, and I soon forget my hands are grimy with sludgy beans. I soon end up wiping it all over my face, but I can't see what I'm doing because someone has took away the light...

Sitting, thinking.. My thoughts are less and less now. My beans are gone. I search around the floor with my hands and find something different. I find an aluminum can of soda. Well, I guess I don't need to heat this, do I? I crack it open. Wow, it tastes good! Something is funny about it though. There seems to be that same weird after taste... What is it, I wonder?

Oh well, I'm hungry. I can't see anything because I'm in a dark closet. It's always been dark, though. I don't remember anything else but this closet. It is my home, right?

Onward with the soda I go... Drink after drink. A smile comes across my face, though my eye brow twitches. I hear a voice in my head! Hey, I'm not alone. I feel slightly energized, though I know not what to do. What could be done? This dark space is all that ever was and ever will be. It has always existed, right?

I forgot about the light. Who cares. I can't remember what it is like to see anyways. Besides, I have this can of something in my hand. It's taste becomes sweeter and sweeter, then it is gone.

Time passes and I have not one clue how long it went. Thoughts pass through my head telling me it hasn't been long, I'm not missing out, I have all the time in the world. How am I to know? I can't hear anyone or anything else. I just listen, seeking for something. This is how it has always been, right?

This space FEELS small. Shall I get up? I ask myself, move my feet, and realize something along the floor. Oh well, this world I live in is small. Right? I feel along with my hands, searching, seeking, wondering, questioning, but with not a clue what for. I feel limited, trapped, confined, separate. Separate from what, though? What is to feel separate from? I continue to think about this, then it occurs to me... Who made me? Who made this box that I live in?

I search along where I sit, overwhelmed with this question and the magical device I encounter near to where I sit...

I find that it has buttons... I hit one, and the voices became louder! Wow, I thought! I hit another one and I soon find I cannot speak. Another one I thought, might fix this dilemma. How intrigued I became over these buttons and what they did....

I find another button on the top and hit it. It is the last button, so I surely thought that this would perhaps shed light onto my existence.

I sat quietly, and it occurred to me to make a wish.. This wish would be more like a proposal; but to who, I thought? I contemplated quietly, something I once knew but long ago forgot...

Where am I, and what am I doing here; I asked...

I hit the button...

Immediately, I was able to see. There were no walls. There were no voices... There was NO confusion.

The television turned off.
