Lysander Spooner on Government
“The fact is that the government, like a highwayman (robber), says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat. The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful. The highwayman takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit. He does not pretend to be anything but a robber. He has not acquired impudence enough to profess to be merely a “protector,” and that he takes men’s money against their will, merely to enable him to “protect” those infatuated travellers, who feel perfectly able to protect themselves, or do not appreciate his peculiar system of protection. He is too sensible a man to make such professions as these. Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do. He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful “sovereign,” on account of the “protection” he affords you. He does not keep “protecting” you, by commanding you to bow down and serve him; by requiring you to do this, and forbidding you to do that; by robbing you of more money as often as he finds it for his interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding you as a rebel, a traitor, and an enemy to your country, and shooting you down without mercy, if you dispute his authority, or resist his demands. He is too much of a gentleman to be guilty of such impostures, and insults, and villanies as these. In short, he does not, in addition to robbing you, attempt to make you either his dupe or his slave.” — Lysander Spooner

Are Plants Really Conscious?

The acacia is used as a symbol in Freemasonry, to represent purity and endurance of the soul, and as funerary symbolism signifying resurrection and immortality. The tree gains its importance from the description of the burial of Hiram Abiff, who provided some of the builders for King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem.
Egyptian mythology has associated the acacia tree with characteristics of the Tree of life, such as in the Myth of Osiris and Isis. ( source: Wiki )
Asian Pitcher – Carnivorous Plant
Carnivorous plants such as the Asian Pitcher or the Venus Flytrap have evolved to lure and entice their prey, although carnivorous plants are not technically carnivorous; as they do not feed for calories, but instead break down an other organisms bodies for their nitrogen.
Eucalyptus macrocarpa
Eucalyptus macrocarpa, or Mottlecah, is a mallee Eucalyptus that is native to the south-west of Western Australia and noted for its large, spectacular flowers.
All these conscious plant beings are very intelligent, and in fact gift us with the most essential element for life as we know it; H2O of course.
I personally believe plantlife has been in what might be considered a constant state of meditation for roughly 450 million years of evolution.
Can you imagine the profound knowledge and insight that can be obtained and shared over 450 million years?
Just try to imagine the level of understanding and unconditional love that can be reached through millions of years of meditative evolution.
It’s important to note that these are some of our oldest know ancestors, and most of them have been around a lot longer than we have. They typically outlive us by um… THOUSANDS OF YEARS!

God Consciousness
“As an extension of God. I practice God Consciousness daily. This often involves imagining the most beautiful and loving God I can possibly conceive of (which is always evolving). I then reminding myself that this God is hungry for self discovery and knowledge, just as I am, and that this prime creator looks to me, from within me. From macro to micro and down to the deepest quantum levels, WE ARE ONE.”
