BERLIN—Police have detained about 400 leftists who were protesting against the national convention of the populist Alternative for Germany party in the city of Stuttgart.
German news agency dpa reported that protesters were shouting “refugees can stay, Nazis must go,” as some 2,000 party members arrived at the convention center on Saturday morning.
Protesters temporarily blocked a nearby highway and burned tires on another road leading to the convention center. Some 1,000 police officers were on the scene to prevent violent clashes between far right party members and demonstrators.
Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has been growing in political influence as it campaigns on an anti-refugee and anti-Islam platform.

IF you think and you feel you also soul travel

Think about this for a moment. You might out of common sense believe you live on the same street you always did. But, in a way you don't because you are on a spinning orb traveling through the universe so fast it would make your head spin if you realized it fully. In order for the sun to travel around the earth the way it does it means that the earth is spinning at around 1000 miles per hour all the time. If it didn't spin the sun would never move (to us) and then everyone on the light side of the planet would be burning up and everyone on the other side would be freezing.

The point is whether you realize it or not everything is changing all the time. It is only the illusion that things are not changing. However, they are.

The same is true with how we experience reality from birth until old age. Every new experience changes us. Every new thought and feeling changes us. IN a sense we are a new person every single second of our lives because our thoughts, our feelings, our bodies are moving thousands of miles an hour whether we realize it or not all the time.

Now, what are you thinking right now?

What were you thinking 24 hours ago?

2 years ago?

10 years ago?
20 or more years ago?

What if I told you that when you think of them you in consciousness actually go to be with them?

Because you do to a greater or lesser degree.

Because I'm a conscious soul traveler this can get a little more extreme with me but everyone soul travels they just don't realize that when they think of something they are there according to how much feeilng they put into it and how much concentration they put into it.

Some people are painters. A soul traveler learns to paint with his mind. You paint a picture and then you go get into that picture if you want to. But, be careful. Some pictures aren't safe for people to be in.

People think it is just their physical bodies they have to protect.

No. You have to protect your soul too or your body dies from the problems created one way or another.

So, understanding you must protect your mind and feelings in some ways even more than you protect your bodies or you will just get ill and die.

Freaking out about all this doesn't help. Being practical just like someone driving a car must be does.

So, learn what you need to do to protect not only your body but also your immortal soul which helps keep this body alive here on earth.

Otherwise, you soon will be dead or worse.

But, freaking out usually won't help. Being practical about the whole thing will.

As a soul traveler who is proficient since the late 1960s I've learned the most important thing is to find a way to be calm no matter what happens. The weirder it is the more important it is to be observant but calm and ready to run if the need arises.

But, being observant of what is happening around you physically but also on supernatural levels will actually keep you alive to an old and happy age.

Barack Obama, Comedian in Chief

Larry Wilmore to host final White House Correspondents' Dinner of President Obama's presidency

New York Daily News - ‎3 hours ago‎
President Obama will reprise the role of comic-in-chief for the final time Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington.

Barack Obama, Comedian in Chief

Barack Obama, Comedian in Chief

The president’s unique approach to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner will surely be missed.
Jonathan Ernst / Reuters
Text Size
No U.S. President has been a better comedian than Barack Obama. It’s really that simple.  
Now that doesn’t mean that some modern-day presidents couldn’t tell a joke. John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton excelled at it. But Obama has transformed the way presidents use comedy—not just engaging in self-deprecation or playfully teasing his rivals, but turning his barbed wit on his opponents.
He puts that approach on display every year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. This annual tradition, which began in 1921 when 50 journalists (all men) gathered in Washington D.C., has become a showcase for each president’s comedy chops. Some presidents have been bad, some have been good. Obama has been the best. He’s truly the killer comedian in chief.
Presidents typically play it safe at the dinner. You can never go wrong with self-deprecating jokes; they make you more likable. But Obama rejected this approach. Instead, he has used the chance to filet his rivals. It’s like a comedic version of Game of Thrones, but instead of gouging out people’s eyes, Obama kills with punchlines.
And it’s not just the material. Obama has a comedian’s understanding of timing. Last year, I had the chance to tell him so in person. He paused just long enough, and then responded: “I know.”
To appreciate Obama’s performance, it helps to look back at how some of his predecessors have fared at the dinner. In 1988, Ronald Reagan delivered a joke that epitomizes the way past presidents used comedy. The 77-year-old president said that his staff told him “preparing me for a press conference was like reinventing the wheel. Not true. I was around when the wheel was invented, and it was easier.”
Bill Clinton gave us a parade of these types of jokes over the years. For example, in 1994, with his approval ratings dropping, he shared what he jokingly claimed were letters he had recently received offering him support: “Here's one from my pollster, Stan Greenberg: ‘I don't have a clue what people want from you. Trust your instincts, but send the check anyway.’”
And at his final Correspondents’ Dinner in 2000, with the Monica Lewinsky scandal still lurking, Clinton joked, “In just eight years I have given you enough material for 20 years.”  
Then there was George W. Bush, a man who should be in the comedy hall of fame for all the material he gave comedians. Bush seemed to relish in telling jokes at his own expense, even poking fun at his struggle to pronounce multisyllabic words. At the 2005 Correspondents’ Dinner he opened by saying, “I look forward to these dinners where I’m supposed to be funny...intentionally.”
So into this kinder, gentler world of presidential comedy stepped Obama. His preferred jokes were of the type made popular by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Obama’s comedy, like that of Stewart, HBO’s John Oliver, and the Comedy Central host Larry Wilmore—who is hosting this year’s Correspondents’ Dinner—has a bite to it. In fact, Obama’s jokes have been criticized as “caustic” or “cruel.”
Over the years Obama has slammed everyone from his GOP rivals to billionaires like Sheldon Adelson to actors like Matt Damon who once supported him but then publicly turned on him. One of my favorite Obama jokes came in 2013 when he brought the house down with this biting line: “Some folks still don’t think I spend enough time with Congress. ‘Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?’ they ask. Really? Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?!”
 
In 2014 Obama went after the media, but not playfully like past presidents. He cut to the bone with jokes like this: “MSNBC is here. They’re a little overwhelmed. They’ve never seen an audience this big before.” He then pivoted to take on his media nemesis on the right: “Let’s face it, Fox, you’ll miss me when I’m gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya.”
And in 2015 Obama really let loose—hitting everyone from Dick Cheney to Ted Cruz to Benjamin Netanyahu. One of the jokes that stands out as something you never would’ve heard a past president tell was his needling of John Boehner for unilaterally inviting Netanyahu to address Congress: “People keep pointing out how the presidency has aged me. I look so old John Boehner’s already invited Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at my funeral.”
Obama then moved on to the 2016 presidential race, taking on Ted Cruz, who had a short time before compared himself to Galileo: “Galileo believed the Earth revolves around the sun. Ted Cruz believes the Earth revolves around Ted Cruz”
Now, other presidents have taken isolated shots at rivals at the Correspondents’ Dinner. And Obama has mixed self-deprecating material in among his barbs. But no one before has used comedy as a weapon to prod and taunt his rivals to the same extent as Obama.
So what will Obama offer at his final Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night? I’d predict a parade of jokes mocking the 2016 Republican presidential field and especially one Donald J. Trump. Back in 2011, when Trump was considering running for president and sitting in the audience, Obama ripped into him—not just with one joke but with a series of barbs mocking Trump on various issues from his flashy style to his fixation with Obama’s birth certificate.
The best of the lot, which remains relevant today, ridiculed Trump for his lack of experience to serve as commander in chief: “We all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. For example...in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice... the men’s cooking team cooking did not impress the judges...And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil’ Jon or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.”
Saturday night will be a bittersweet Correspondents’ Dinner. Sure, there will be laughs. But for fans of political comedy, there will be a sense of loss, as a killer comedian in chief exits the stage.

Everyone is a soul traveler all the time they just might not realize it

Why is this?

Because people are usually taught (in the western materialistic world) that we are trapped in our bodies until we die (which is never true by the way) unless you want people to be your slaves and work like slaves for you until they all die and are so angry they come back to haunt you.

So, thinking you are trapped in a physical body isn't true in the first place (unless you are brainwashed into believing that) by the people or culture around you in the first place.

Understanding that you are a soul that lives in a human body like a person drives in a car to get somewhere. But, the person is not the car they are the passenger of the body and not the body anymore than you are the car or bus or truck you are driving or riding in.

However, if you want to live a good life here on planet earth you have to take good care of your body or your whole family and all your friends are going to be upset. So, even if you learn that you are soul traveling you have some responsibility to take care of your body or else you soon will be dead or very ill and then dead.

So, understanding that life is a serious game but still a game, but still serious is maybe the important thing here in the end.

When I actually met God this is what God told me. I asked why he had created me. He said "I created you because I was (bored) I later realized that bored is not the right word it is "empty" which is an entirely different thing than being bored.

And I said to God, "What is the purpose of life?"

And God said, "The purpose of life is to love and to bless life."

And then God said, "If you harm or kill any other being or person it is like cutting off one of God's fingers."

This completely changed how I saw the universe in thinking I was one of God's Fingers and that everyone else was one of God's fingers too.

So, I realized God would be pretty mad if anyone cut off one of his fingers and likely take it out on them.

I came back from this experience with God and shook for a long time because it shook me to the core.

In the Bible it says, "No man may see God and Live!" But I did. But a better way to put this was the me that was before died and I had to become a new me. I was reborn which is what they mean by "No Man may see God and Live!" This is true. If you SEE God you never will be the same ever again because you will die inside and be reborn again.

reprint of " After Soul Traveling about 10 years: We are Everywhere!"

NOTE: I'M STILL HAVING SOME TROUBLE CENTERING ARTICLES WITH MY WIFE'S NEW  MACBOOK PRO LAPTOP BECAUSE MINE DIED. I'M USED TO USING HER LARGE IMAC BUT THIS ONE IS EVEN NEWER AND USES SOFTWARE DIFFERENTLY THAN I'M USED TO IN REGARD TO PLACEMENT OF ARTICLES WHILE BLOGGING.

SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2015

  You likely would have to understand this was a very long process. It's not like I just woke up one day and could soul travel. No. It started when I was dying of whooping cough and had sort of resigned myself to dying at age 2. I expected to die.

Then I was lying in my grandmother's lap while she sang Hark the Herald Angels Sing one Christmas (likely 1950) and Archangel Michael and his band of archangels showed up and healed me.

This began my conscious path towards being a soul traveler like the Archangels. Because this is what Archangels do.

So, after they saved my life I wanted to become like them from then on. So, I did over the years become a soul traveler like the Archangels. But, it took until I was about 21 or 22 before I was proficient at this.

The big change was when I was sick and going to college in San Diego and living in Rancho Bernardo with my parents. I was around 22 years old and drove my VW bug out to the desert and stayed in a friend's house that they kept for weedends and vacations there so it was empty on 2 1/2 acres then.

So, I went out there and was trying to dry out a cold or flu. So, went to sleep but was uneasy in my sleep. So, I woke up about 2 or 3 am and went into the Bathroom to relieve myself. But, when I went to flip the light switch on my arm went through the wall. This was completely unexpected and meant I wasn't in my physical body like I had thought.

Imagine thinking you were walking around in your physical body and you found out you were not in your physical body and your mind and soul screamed in horror.

Because you had never experienced this being separate from your body while thinking you were still in your body ever before.

So, I wracked my brain to try to think what I should do?

I remembered reading how one should walk back into their bedroom (or wherever they were sleeping) and walk up to the base of their body and basically lay down into it.

So, that's what I did.

However, then when I did this and got in sync with my body I started to shake because of my fear and terror of what I was experiencing. So, this was so completely disturbing to me because I was completely alone. This was beyond anything I could deal with alone at that moment. So, I simply packed up my things at about 3 am in the morning and loaded up my VW Bug and drove back to Rancho Bernardo.

As I drove away, I said to God, "God, You just scared the living hell out of me and I almost had a heart attack. Can't I please now have a good experience instead of almost dying?"

Two months later God answered my prayer:

I woke up and I looked back and saw my body there. I was okay this time because I was still connected by my hips to my toes. So, as I sat up out of my body I could see my face behind me sleeping peacefully. Then as I was sitting up I also saw another me with an angelic look on it's face walking into the room. The angel version of me laid down into me and we laid down into my physical body and then I said, "Thank you God! I understand now!"

So, what had happened this time was a complete paradigm shift.

What had happened was I had experienced that souls and bodies can live separately. Knowing this I knew I had an immortal soul. I knew I would never really die. Only my body would die because I couldn't I realized.

So, over time I used to get out of my body and sit on the roof in my soul and look at the stars. Then I would walk down the street outside my house and eventually travel all over the earth. But then, I thought, "Hey, if I was in space my body is here at home breathing. So, if I go into space I won't have to breathe. I think that could work." Yes. That worked.

So, then I went to Venus which I had heard a lot about. Then I went and visited other souls that lived their in soul bodies (because it is 600 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit there) and no human body can live there.

So, the souls there on Venus told me to go into the sun if I wanted to visit God in the Center of the Galaxy. So, i went into the Sun and it felt a lot like swimming in a hot tub but it didn't burn me. The biggest surprise was the Plasma beings who also had souls like humans do there.

They sent me to the Center of the Galaxy through a device there.

But, when I made it to the center of the Galaxy God wasn't there any more than he is on earth sort of like Jesus was on earth. So, God is everywhere but maybe not in the way we might expect.

So, when I went into the center of the galaxy I met the species of beings that created this physical galaxy. Boy! was I surprised at the way things really are.

So, after that,  (about 10 years later) I started to realize that "We Are everywhere".

How I came to this realization was by realizing being anywhere or every where is effortless once you realize you are everywhere.

You don't have to really try to be any one anywhere because you are naturally everywhere.

Why Is this?

My way of describing this is that we live in the mind of God. So, the physical universe is really only the mind of God. This is the best way I can explain how all this works.

So, By then I was 30 to 32 before I realized all this. So, this is my experience now. We are everywhere so there really isn't anything to fear.

So life is a game but it is a serious game that God has designed for us. IN realizing what the universe actually is we are free.

So, now I pretend the world is real. I pretend marriage is real. I pretend the universe is real. However, at core I really know that it is all just "The mind of God!"

We are everywhere because we all live in the Mind of God!


However, likely if you become a soul traveler likely you may have an experience like this too eventually like I did.
