Basic human motivations can be defined by three words:  Freedom,  Joy,  Opportunity

Opportunity --   personal growth,  the capacity to manifest a grander vision of who and what I am.

The concept of freedom has been severely distorted.   
In order to be free:

1)  a person has to have sufficient money to provide all of his/her needs and desires.  If you are working for money, you are not free.   You  are a slave to the Great God Money

2) a person has to have sufficient money to to feel that future needs and desires will also be met.  One must feel safe and secure in person, property, and reputation.

3)  A person must live in the social structure must provide the basic services such as electricity, roads, water, etc.  Can anyone be free in present day (2004) Afghanistan?  

4)  A person must live in a political climate of freedom, safety, and equality of opportunity.

5)   A person must live in a long-term-stable environment where sufficient goods and services are available and will continue to be available for everyone, 

6)   A person must live in a long-term-stable environment where sufficient land, water, and other resources are available and will continue to be available.

Present views of freedom are held in the context of scarcity:    There is not enough for everybody; therefore, in order for me to be, have, and do what I want, someone else must go without.  Although at one time, scarcity was a function of the natural environment, it is now (2004) a human creation.

Most children are taught of good and to be good.   Rarely are they shown how and where evil really lies.   Evil dresses itself up as good; puts forth a bright, shiny surface and sings with golden throat and silver tongue.   To the naive ear, the lies sound like music and promises of manna.   The following is a quote from a fantasy interview the devil him/herself:

To know the truth, one must penetrate the facade of faces.   Only inside, can one meet content and context.   When we listen with our inner ear we can  hear when silver tongues are selling false messages.   Only with true knowledge of good and evil can one be free to choose.   Until then, mechanical men continue to strangle each other in the name of piety.   Until then, mechanical men continue to rape  Sacred Mother Earth in the worship of their revered deity  "The Great God Money".
