Remembering the Jewish Ghettos

Ghetto -1." A section of a city, often run-down or overcrowded, inhabited chiefly by a minority group that is effectively
barred from living in other communities, as, because of racial prejudice or for economic or social reasons.2. A section
of a city in certain European countries in which Jews were formerly required to live."
 
How did the Nazi s manage to do this before they killed them.?  No resistance to being forced to live in a special
place? They did it by using the Jews as managers and secret committee members so they would control their own
people. I had a friend once whose father was head of the ghetto in Berlin, before the Nazi s killed them all.   She
was proud of the importance of her father....that he should be chosen. I thought that was crazy. Why would you serve
and work for the people in charge who were your enemy? Isn't that helping the enemy kill you?
 
This sort of thing still exists. Look around. Just as slavery still exists. Look around. Be aware. Be conscious.

Beethoven & Food

Listening to KUSC, they talked about Beethoven's favorite food:
                  Macaroni & Cheese   
Then potatoes and bread pudding.

Creativity

Something I wrote in' '79 just resurfaced:
 
Creativity is a violence to the beliefs and order within a society; therefore, creative people often cluster in
Universities and become esoteric.  There is a natural antipathy between creative people and society. To know this,
would help creative people.
 
By creative people, I mean, those who reach higher levels of integration and enlightment giving them sight that
most don't have.....into the universe and how we function and interrelate.
 
New evolutionary attainments = Higher levels of complexity.
 
Those who are, must be told and given assistance.
