Christopher.
You began your letter, 'Dear Outside World'
I begin my letter, 'Dear Inside World'
Impulsive, angry, enraged, furious,most human beings at one time or another run the gamut of those emotions. But normally we internalize them and are rational mind warns of the consequences of those actions and we calm down, or walk away. Men are far more impulsive than women, women at more emotional, we tend to shout scream throw things.
You got good and mad that day you attacked the guard. You felt you had to put a perceived wrong to rights.
It wasn't your job.
There is a rule among prisoners that the guards are the enemy.
You bought into that. The whole love hate and the jail and the jailers hate you.
They don't hate you. At their very worst they are 'indifferent' to you. They have a job to do and if they didn't do it your family and the people you love would be in danger.
You need to open your eyes and your ears and start paying attention to who is trying to reprogram you and why.
You aren’t reviled. You are loved. You are a child of the cosmos, and a person in the world.
I hadn’t noticed the post was dated January of this year. It popped up as new on my notification.
Reply back here to me if you can. I am on the move and not at home for a while.
Thank you.

1985 was a lifetime ago. The parole board needs to be convinced that person of violence is no more.
Maya Angelou said, When I knew better I did better.
Do better. Be better. Think better. Act better.
Isn't it ironic that the name of the person you tried to avenge, and who made all this trouble for you was named 'Love'

Psche Venus Hera Hebe Aphrodite, all God's, demigod. But young Johnny 'we' Are mortal. Women and men most mammals air breathing mortal. We are mortal and naturally wired to err. Drop the mythological expectations and accept that you are a flawed individual dealing with other flawed individuals. Poetic license aside, I think jail eulogizes us and that is too heavy a burden for our gender.
Monogamy is found in the animal kingdom. Bald eagles,grey wolves, penguin, seahorses, the common city pigeon is a one woman guy.

Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy from the Gods with the caveat that no one would believe what she said.

The 'world' hasn't torn you from it. You are still in it, although experiencing it in a way that two million of your countrymen currently are. You decisions and actions wrote your narrative. And a family mourns the loss of their son.

You can still create a greater legacy bigger than your greatest mistake.
Read Symposium by Plato. He deduced each soul was cleaved in two and our lives are a journey to find the other half of our soul.
Where do you start?

Mr. Trotter
I am so glad we have this forum here, to enable communication. I have not forgotten about you. We are connected(so to speak). I've read your description and explanation of the events that happened on Fri. morning Feb 1st 1985. Why you are choosing to leave out another part of the events that happened that morning is very obvious. It takes away the value of presenting yourself as a victim of a system that treated you unfair.
Let's start with L. Love. That morning from what I understand he did not want to leave his cell. There were suspicions that Love might have possessed one or all of the following; drugs, contraband, or weapons. The guards then decided to investigate by way of "shake down". Apparently Love decided to "flex his muscles" in a fit of rage by nearly destroying everything in his cell(toilet from wall..etc, etc. You and I both agree that the beating of Love that morning was a complete wrong judgement call. However, we don't agree on the reasons why it was wrong. You thought you were saving a life. I thought it was stupid and unprofessional of the guards that were involved to do a display beating of an inmate in front of other inmates. Lincoln Loves criminal record was lengthy. I firmly believe that a free Lincoln Love would have not thought twice about committing crimes on your family. I also don't believe he was worth spending the rest of your entire life locked up. I'm aware you only had a few years left to serve. AMAZING HOW SOME SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS AFFECT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

But let's move on here. I will tell the rest of the story here. You had a need to see how badly injured Love was. The only way to find out is to get to the infirmary. To get to the infirmary you had to enter into an area of which you were not authorized to be. The guard in the tower saw you and inmate Cole proceeding to the infirmary. The guard disregarded direct orders to fire upon you and Cole. You made it to the infirmary. Little did you know that Love had already been transferred to Wishard. Upon entering the infirmary you asked the guard at the door(his job was to take passes that morning) where Love was at. The guard explained that Love was already taken to Indianapolis. RAGE TROTTER IS NOW FEELING!! The result of the
rage, the unarmed guard was maliciously stabbed on the right side of his abdomen. Another result of the RAGE, you and Cole decided to destroy cabinetry and medical equipment in the infirmary. You decided to go back to "J" cell-block, but your thoughts were still full of rage. On your way out, you stopped and looked down at the wounded guard. He pleaded with you that you had already stabbed him. Your reply before you stabbed him again was, "DIE MOTHER-FUCKER".
I know the story. I have heard and seen you say that you don't regret what you did that day.

Thanks for posting this article about plastics poluting the planet. There are some young geniuses who have invented machinery to clean it up. I'll see if I can find the article to send you. ML, Erne

con't ... being surrounded by DBs and SPs so much saturation of drug use and out ethics. Can you imagine how much you would accomplish outside here and being the true you of a caring Being with correct tech to help you accomplish what you want for mankind. I know you will excel please clean up your postulates. Make art work to stare at and send copies so we can do that here. They work. Life is all about Postulates and auditing is all about undoing wrong postulates. I have not written in a long while to you but you are never not on my mind daily. I write letters in my head to you daily, nightly. omg. I truly appreciate the article you sent me about resting 10 minutes every hour. I get pulled in so many directions, especially with Herb here. Getting me up at 6 AM and needing Diabetes help and now the Dr. wants us to keep glucose records 3 x a day. Well we have been going over foods and times to take good snacks. This might not seem something you want to hear. this is what is pulling me away from out flowing more. My body needs those rest periods and I'm just can't seem to get them with all the 8Cing I have to do with someone who can't remember how to turn their on cell phone on. So go easy on me WG. I have 10 letters to write to inquiring inmates lined up on my desk organizer. If you don't hurry up and do more VM courses. TAB from Penn is gonna beat you to be the first inmate on the planet to complete all these chapters. I love you forever...Ernestyna Eichenlaub VM

Hi WG: What I want to know Re: your 7 October letter saying I forgot to sign the commend. Why did you not notify me sooner so I would send a signed one? And the typos would have also been corrected if you would show me them. The comm lag from our addresses makes life in this category slower but it can be done to correct errors for the presentation. I guess my computer did not pick up the type-o sssss.

I am so happy you are having so many cognitions and changes for the better in your awareness. I got a kick out of you saying you won't be me. What I hear you saying is you won't have the aberrations that make you believe that is really you. I see an unbelievable Thetan who is very spiritual and kind of heart. That is who I address my letters to. Not the veneer of DB games in that sanctuary you are residing for now.
You have great anchor points moving outward all the time. Please continue doing those courses Sarah will send you. She has mailed the Scientology 8-8008 course. I hope you have it and are doing it. It won't take you long as you love that data in that book. I am on the say course now. I'm on lesson 7 Chapter 11. Herb's needs keep me busy from heming pants to Drs. appts to tune-ups for his Kia 2017... and Eating patterns. His blood sugar is way off so I am learning about Diabetes. ugh... Our program is expanding. A Criminon course sup keeps getting letters from one of her inmates asking about Scientology. So I am now going to have a win thru her for you. All this is your product my firend. You have brought light to the Volunteer Ministry into the incarcerated game and we have such wonderful success stories. Thank you William. I wished Destiny would do some of these courses to help her in her life. She would love them. I am still waiting for the remainder of the courses from you. It would make a big difference in the attention units in this arena over here. Please do them ASAP. Please do an art piece of you united with family on the outside with big hugs and smiles. That postulate has to be firm to make it happen. And I know it will if you put it there. No wishy washy stuff my friend. I don't agree with all you sez in your 7 Oct letter about being a Brute. Yes and No. Tone 40 intention without reservation per tech is what I see you trying your best to apply with this SPO and VM game. Yes there are not all the players to make it happen. These final essays and SSes are what we need. Please continue to help me get them documented so we can help more Beings become happy and flourishing and free. You are a Blessing in there whether inmates know it or not. I am doing the best I know how. I just don't always know what you want from me. I am 3000 miles from there. A to B postulates are the only thing that will change and make happen when you apply the postulate tech. You have not kept that in and so we are constantly not getting the product.I just cannot imagine how you even accomplish so much positive products..

You've done your bit David. You played your role. You returned from war, many didn't. You found out what millions of men throughout the years and from all sides of the arena know, war always changes you for the worst. Boys rage to fight and men are broken by it. Even the worst of worst case scenarios, had you killed Hitler, you would still, in the darkness of night be troubled that you had taken a human life, because,well it's not really our job is it as human beings to be the arbiters of life and death.
Oil. Oil. Oil. More precious than gold, certainly more precious than human life. Yet, you can't eat it or drink it. It's like desert sand, inedible and incapable of quenching thirst, yet Oh how they fight for it generations upon generations of them. For strips of land like Palestine, 2000 years that fights been going on.
The only real thing our children will definitely inherit is war.
The Kurds have been royally shafted, the Yasidi decimated. ISIS fighters will return to my home town here in England. It is approximated at least thirty people left to join the jihadists. An they will return and shop where I shop, an pass me in the street, and their kids will go to school with our children, as if Syria never happened. And when it begins again the men making those same wring decisions will sleep well in their beds, in mansions with long gravel drives and will never be touched by the mistakes they have made, or encounter people forever changed by those decisions.
It's a shame and its an abomination but it's what we do. We are creatures of war, greed and avarice and we fear and kill those who aren't. Jesus,Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Benezir Bhutto, Robert Kennedy,
Einstein wrote that if men were to exist in two hundred years time, he would be unrecognizable from how he is today. That is either a chilling thought or an optimistic one.
