About Me

I was born in Montreal during the 1930's and saw, heard and felt evil. My mother, sister, brother and I were helped by people who recognized we were suffering, and we received help from our church and the “Salvation Army.” And I saw my brother go off to war, and cried along with my mother.

We must see Evil, hear Evil and talk about evil, in order to know that we must not do evil. And to learn that we must help those who suffer from the consequences of evil. Our empathy is a natural limited resource within us which we must direct to those suffering. Children love to help those who are suffering.

My mother, in return for the help we received, took in orphaned babies. These children were beautiful and I loved each one dearly. Being a brother to a younger child helped me feel the beauty of loving. In the forties I saw the pain and grief of parents who lost their sons in war. I felt empathy and hated evil doers at 5.
I was 4, 5, and 6 years of age in those depression years which included the evil doing of Hitler. I loved beauty and hated evil and the differences were palpable.
By the age of 19 I was an officer in the Canadian Military. I wanted to see an end to evil. Early after the Korean war, I became a successful young businessman, and guess what I discovered - more evil and beauty. In 1969 I sold by business and became an “Agent of Change,” selling the know how of creating beautiful organizations. I made a very good living.

The moral of this story could be that I learned my lessons at the age of Six.

Teach your children, early in life, these lessons. They will see more beauty in the world and abhor evil.

I maybe wrong, however I have a passion for this truth. As a six year old I saw and heard and felt evil, but I stayed quiet. In those years children were expected to be seen and not heard. Today children of six and younger will spontaneously tell others “it’s not fair!”

    3 hours ago: Thank you Colleen
    I face no dilemma, false or otherwise.
    Higher than kindness is the love of God.

    22 hours ago: Here is what I think about all religion as it concerns kindness, compassion, peace and so on;
    And most importantly to get over shame and vulnerability!

    22 hours ago: Thank you Theodore,
    I would suggest you might read Rupert Sheldrake’s - Book "Science Set Free"
    or maybe listen to Deepak Chopra Interviews Rupert Sheldrake - New book "Science Set Free" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0YWV7rTewQ
    The fields they are talking about influence the outside of the human membrane;
    with “no need” to penetrate the cranium as you say.
    We will have to disagree on our personal views about the “materialistic science.”
    My view is that materialistic science is long past being out-dated. It is a barrier to learning; it is dogmatic.
    Speak to scientists in private and you will find them realizing that present day materialistic science, is dogma.
    My position has nothing to do with the so-called God Helmet; the term was invented by the Media.
    We can discuss this again if you wish.
    Regards
    Don Wesley.

    1 day ago: @Hi Della,
    You also remind me of the Dahlia Lama,
    Who said very simply at Stanford University.
    That his way is best for him and
    Your way is best for you,
    Now lets collaborate to save the world.

    Christ had even a simpler and more complete answer.

    1 day ago: It is such a short lesson to learn "Kindness matters."
    Just too simple Science Says.
    The present barrier-to-overcome, is the dogma of materialism or science.
    Science has refused the study the mind for over a hundred years.
    They study the brain because they can measure it.
    We can't measure kindness; but we certainly can see and feel it.
    It does bring us together, no matter what our belief-systems are.
    Kids know it!
    It can save us from destroying the world.

    1 day ago: Thank you Della for your worthy reply.
    I don't understand the context of your comment.
    Maybe you have been confused by remarks other than my own.
    God sent us his Son... is the context I have in mind.
    I am a very happy and good man and submitted my life to God a very long time ago. He continues to mold me into the person he needs at this time.
    Please don't listen to those whose remarks are meaningless,
    In this context of knowing God.
    I am aware and Caring about the good work your doing.
    Bless you.

    1 day ago: But; God protects me!
    Of course there are more good people in the world than those inclined
    to "destroy, steal and kill."
    When I talk about hate, my words are referring to apostles like Paul
    And Christ who were hated and killed. And those who took over my identity on Ted during the Colin Powell Talk "Kids need Structure" and the subsequent commentaries, which abused his good name and character.
    Stop twisting my thoughts with "your" comments.
    I said "There are some people who obviously hate me."
    I am overflowing with kindness and love.
    Remove the speck of prejudice from your eye.
    I have no need for your replies, which reveal no kindness at all;
    Only derision and character assassination.

    1 day ago: Hi Robert
    You brought memories to my mind; I am a father who took those 20,000 pictures.
    Someone took them away from me without my permission and before I was finished with them.
    There kindness and there is cruelty.
    Don
