About birds playing - yes they do. We were eating at a restaurant on the pier once - overlooking a small strip of sand. Although this was in Southern California, there were no humans out there - probably because there were other 'people-friendly' beaches close.
Anyway - during the entire time we were there (at least an hour and a half) we watched a seagull play with a tennis ball. He would stand and drop it at the top of the slope, then run down and try to snatch it up before it hit the water. He'd then repeat the process. Everything in his body language bespoke 'fun' - he wasn't doing this to try to open the ball and eat the contents (like he thought it was a shellfish, or a nut) - he was playing a game. :)

Hi Milo

Your spelling is absolutely fine and your meaning is always crystal clear.

I think the convention on the Between the Bars website is that Blog Posts are transcribed, but Comment Responses don't seem to be. You are therefore communicating with the website's visitors and readers on two different levels - one about the process of your trial and search for justice, and the other on a more personal level. I hope it helps other people to understand more about you and your situation.

With kind regards
Lavender

It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." 3
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came. 2
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.

Unk here is Lincoln 2nd Inaugural Speech... What are your thoughts?
Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United States. 1989.

Abraham Lincoln

Second Inaugural Address

Saturday, March 4, 1865

Weeks of wet weather preceding Lincoln's second inauguration had caused Pennsylvania Avenue to become a sea of mud and standing water. Thousands of spectators stood in thick mud at the Capitol grounds to hear the President. As he stood on the East Portico to take the executive oath, the completed Capitol dome over the President's head was a physical reminder of the resolve of his Administration throughout the years of civil war. Chief Justice Salmon Chase administered the oath of office. In little more than a month, the President would be assassinated.

Fellow-Countrymen:

AT this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.

Law of Geb

Know that from heaven you came and to heaven you will return, seek not enduring works on earth. You are the master of the earth through your likeness with God.


Reasoning:
Our physical nature is totally amenable to reprogramming. Since we have the laws and faculties to do so, why not dedicate the use of our will to program desirable ends in our lives—peace, happiness, health and prosperity?


For a complete discourse and in-depth analysis of each of the 11 Laws, see Ma’at, The 11 Laws of God by Ra Un Nefer Amen

Law of Sebek

It is not what you think or what you affirm. It is who is thinking and who is affirming. Are you a human or a divine being?


Reasoning:
[Sebek] corresponds to [one of] the tools through which behavior is programmed. Through the understanding of the law such programming can be done at will. If we have the tools to program any desired behavior at will, then we can choose to allow only peace and pleasure to manifest as our emotional reactions to all events.

Sebek Truisms:
I am well on my way to success because I understand the suggestive power of belief. I reject all negative beliefs, and deliberately and consistently cultivate positive beliefs.

My positive thoughts flow naturally from my being Ausar.

I know that my spirit is essentially unconditioned, therefore whatever beliefs I take into trance, my spirit will make come true if it is at all humanly possible.

I do not delude myself into mistaking my education for knowledge of reality itself. My way to success remains open.

I am well on my way to becoming Ausar because I no longer mask my motives through rationalizations.

I am that, therefore I think.

Law of Auset

Prepare to sacrifice everything to become the vessel of God on earth, and you will, in turn, receive everything. This is devotion to serving God.


Reasoning:
[Auset] corresponds to [one of] the tools through which behavior is programmed. Through the understanding of the law such programming can be done at will. If we have the tools to program any desired behavior at will, then we can choose to allow only peace and pleasure to manifest as our emotional reactions to all events.

Auset Truisms:
I know that I am devoted to spirituality for I have given the highest priority in my life to the resurrection of Ausar.

I am the master of my person. Through trance, I can cultivate any emotion I desire to manifest.

My ability to cultivate the experience of remorse at will and to apologize in any situation of transgression assures me a solid foundation in my quest to become Ausar.

Reasoning:
If we have been given free will, why should we give in to emotions that have proven to be detrimental to our well-being? Why not choose to be at peace in all situations of challenge, especially since this is the key to wisdom, power and happiness?

Heru Truisms:
I understand that at any time I have the freedom to act as if I have successfully overcome a given emotion.

My freedom to choose is the essence of my divinity.

I will, therefore I am free.

I am never compelled to do anything by my emotions and passion.

God does not compel me to do what is right. How then can the animal within me compel me to do what is wrong. Shall I make Set grater than God?

My emotions are children of impotent revolt.

I have the freedom to hold myself in check to take a view of the whole before acting.

Law of Het-Heru

It is not what you imagine. It is who is imagining. Are you a human or a divine being?



Reasoning:
[Het-Heru] corresponds to [one of] the tools through which behavior is programmed. Through the understanding of the law such programming can be done at will. If we have the tools to program any desired behavior at will, then we can choose to allow only peace and pleasure to manifest as our emotional reactions to all events.

Het-Heru Truisms:
My ability to cultivate through trance the experience of joy for living by divine law as Ausar does, greatly enhances my chances of success in my pursuits in life.

I will myself to be joyful, therefore I am successful in life and healthy.

Joy is the engine of success and it comes from within, therefore I am successful.

I am Ausar. I cannot be other than joyful.

I am joyful because I will myself to be joyful.

Law of Herukhuti

Know that God neither punishes nor rewards nor protects, that you will have the comfort of controlling these for yourself.


Reasoning:
If adversity which cannot be avoided is not the cause of suffering that follows our failure to reclaim our original nature (peace), then we must make spiritual growth our highest priority. If we are one (Ausar), then I must refrain from doing you wrong (even self-defensively wishing you ill) to avoid doing me wrong—the key to justice and protection from others.

Herukhuti Truisms:
I realize that I have the power to force my person to ignore my emotions to ensure that my life will be a reflection of Divine Law.

I am not the person, but Ausar, and can therefore transcend the pain of invoking divine retribution against my person when it transgresses the Law of God.

I understand that God has ordained a place for all beings in their own time, and will thus, in Its own time right all wrongs.

I sow justice towards men and reap it from God.

Law of Heru

You have the power but not the right to ignore God’s Law. Choose to follow the Law of God with the love and joy that grows out of your understanding, and the wisdom and power of God’s spirit will flow through your being.
