Widely recognised as the man who introduced the flute to rock music, Ian Anderson remains the crowned exponent of the popular and rock genres of flute playing. So far, no pretender to the thrown has stepped forward. Ian also plays ethnic flutes and whistles together with acoustic guitar and the mandolin family of instruments, providing the acoustic textures which are an integral part of most of the Jethro Tull repertoire. Ian was born in 1947 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.
Perhaps 95% of all money is earned in unethical, destructive ways. Consumer product corporations sell toxic personal care products and disposable junk to people who don't need such things; drug companies sell medicines that destroy people's health; weapons manufacturers promote war so they can sell more weapons; oil companies sell fossil fuels that pollute the air and endanger the climate; food manufacturers sell processed, nutrient-depleted foods that promote obesity and disease; and media companies sell anything that makes them money: Sodas, perfumes, pizza, useless gadgets and silly weight loss pills. Clearly, earning money by selling harmful things to people is not a way to accumulate "mindful wealth." You've probably discovered this, too: You are ready to be wealthier, but you don't want to harm others (or the planet) in the process of attracting that wealth, right?I'm the same way. I've always wondered about ethical ways to accumulate wealth... Could a person accumulate considerable wealth while helping make the world a better place at the same time?
Principle #1: Most people limit their wealth by choice. (Either consciously or unconsciously.)
Principle #2: Money is not evil. The way money is EARNED and SPENT is good or evil, depending on the ethics applied to it.
Principle #3: Money shall be accumulated (earned) in service of protecting sustainable life. (It shall also be earned ethically, honestly and without deception.)
Principle #4: Money shall be redistributed (spent) in service of protecting sustainable life.
Principle #5: Wealth shall not be hoarded.
Principle #6: Poverty is not pious. You do not gain bonus karma points for living in poverty.
Principle #7: Natural living advocates have a moral obligation to mindfully attract and redistribute vast amounts of wealth, in alignment with their core beliefs, and with full honesty in their methods.
Apply these principles to your own finances, and you will allow enormous wealth to flow to you and through you.
Steve Beckow who runs a blog delivering every day a lot of articles related to the spiritual growth of humanity as a whole and to the contact with intelligent ET races waiting for the official disclosure of their existence and presence to manifest, published in 2007 and republished in 2008 a courageous article apologizing the Muslim World for the 'false-flag' operation called 9/11. I admire him for his courage, his sincerity and his honesty. He claims his jewishness and for that I celebrate the days he wrote his multiple great and prestigious articles for they represent the dawn of a new era of peacebetween the 3 big religions and all the inhabitants on our beautiful planet Earth. Here's an excerpt from his stunning article :
I am not a Muslim, but a Jew. Supposedly, I should somehow be antipathetic to Muslims. Supposedly too, by merely being a Jew I should somehow be a "Zionist neocon," a militarist, etc. I am in fact nothing of the sort. Neither are millions of my fellow Jews - any more than "Muslims" are terrorists. In this election year, when the American public is as open and focussed as it will ever be, I consider it the right time to reissue this article. Its intent is to bring to the attention of the American people and the world the fact that the "secret state" has waged a campaign to paint Muslims as the "enemy within" when "Muslims" had nothing to do with 9/11. Yes, a small number of Muslims worked as paid participants in the plot (Mohhamed Atta, for instance, and officials of the Pakistani ISI); yes, Al-Qaida was a CIA creation and played its part in the drama. But 9/11 itself was solely the creation of the Bush administration and unknown accomplices in the CIA, FBI, military, other government agencies, and operatives, I believe, from other governments (including Mossad).
