			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Peace&#8221; is a word often heard, especially during the Christmas season. It is said, written, sung, and prayed &#8211; but is it lived? How does one who believes in love, and in bringing peace to every situation, maintain peace within when the world around them is filled with just the opposite?</p>
<p>Are you living in freedom relating to others or by obligation?</p>
<p>Truth is the prerequisite to peace. If an individual, a group of persons, or an activity is not about truth, it will trouble you to the degree you voluntarily choose to interact with it.</p>
<p>Peace is of God. Let peace and its joy and contentment be born in you this Christmas. Love yourself, and you will love others. Remaining peaceful allows you to share peace with others.</p>
<p>Here are some things I&#8217;ve learned about maintaining and nurturing peace within. I invite you to view my latest video &#8220;Peace&#8221; (10 minutes length) :<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzjr0gB30kg"> CLICK HERE TO SEE VIDEO AT YOUTUBE.</a></p>

<p>The simple truth is you either have faith in freedom or faith in government.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Play the game&#8221; say many in regards to the personal, social, business and political arenas. </p>
<p>Some have expressed much anger because I don&#8217;t play the game in politics, but the most interesting phenomena is that of those who consider themselves good persons who espouse the value of honesty and truth, but who will simultaneously advocate deceit in order to get something they want.</p>
<p>I invite you to view my 8-minute video as I&#8217;d like to share examples of where people rationalize &#8220;playing the game&#8221;- and my choice to do just the opposite in all areas of my life and where it&#8217;s led me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your physical, sexual, emotional, mental and spiritual happiness and healthiness depends on it. If you say &#8216;no&#8217; to natural desires, I think you begin to die right then. Life is to be lived!</p>
<p>Neglect any part of your being, and your entire life suffers.</p>
<p>Repression and inhibition is unnatural and unhealthy and will certainly make you unhappy. Be true to your whole self.</p>
<p>Most of my friends/acquaintances care about freedom in their life, but you must not neglect personal freedom and focus only on political/societal freedom. Freedom begins with you!</p>
