(Cicero)

God′s conception of the world

Who SAYS, 
that with MONEY EVERYTHING is possible,
just proves

The COSMIC
development

ABUNDANCE (is)
the actual definition of salvation history:
The mind of the merely calculating person will forever find it absurd,
that God is in incomprehensible self-waste
not just a universe,
but spent himself,
to lead the speck of human dust to salvation.

Only the lover
can understand the folly of a love,
for the waste law,
Abundance is the only thing that is sufficient.

My religion
consists in my humble admiration
an unlimited spiritual power,
which shows itself in even the smallest things,

The deep, emotional conviction
of the presence of a spiritual intelligence,
which opens in the incomprehensible universe,
forms my idea of ​​God.

(Albert Einstein)

The proud man forgets

Life=Love

Love has nothing to do with getting, but rather with what you want to GIVE: namely EVERYTHING.

(Katherine Hepburn, amerikanische Schauspielerin)

The TEACHING profession

He who taught his students the ABC,
has accomplished a greater deed
than the general who fought a battle.

(Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, 1646 - 1716)

Shades of Love

I searched for MYSELF
-and did not find me.

- and did not find him.
I searched for YOU-
and found all three.

Dear Skinhead !
I writeto you in very simple words.
So that You UNDERSTAND:

I want to tell You something:
if You hit a poor dog,
You don?t show how STRONG You are,
You only show Your feebleness
and STUPIDITY.
Because his broken had
does not salve Your PROBLEMS.

If You want to be strong,
You must Yourself namely
You must fight against your own feebleness.
You must realize.
In Your shaven cranium
there is brain indeed.
Then use your brain
- not the RIOTSTICK.

Your brain needs a DIED
as does Your BELLY.
Then try it once
by TALKING orREADING.
And ask Yourself,
WHY Your life exists
of nothing but SHIT.

Plainly - READING are SEVERITY:
MEDITATION is evan more SEVERITY.
That is harder work than screaming
as "shit - Negroes"
or "messy - Jew."
screaming is quite simple.
offending and hating
practically ANYBODY is able to do.

It does not matter to me
if You walk around with Your SHAVEN head
and your BOOTS.
on my account you can
tape ARTICHOKES on the cranium tape
and tattoos on your arse.

But ONE things however NOT matters.
I want you to respect yourself.
Your DIGNITY and Your BRAIN.
So you also maybe learn
how to RESPECT OTHER people.

If You screame "messy Jew,"
You must first now,
what it is to be a Jew.
If You have it UNDERSTAND,
WHAT A Jew is,
then You can try,
You to ask,
how BEAUTIFUL it is,
if they put Your MOTHER, Your FATHER,
Your SISTER and youself
into the oven.

I considerabl worry about You.
And natural also about the HEADS,
You continual hit on.

I do just worry,
because the POWER,
if they have STUPED and MEAN people
on front of themselfs
always TWO THINGS.

They put You into the JUG,
and the jug is a
mightily clap on Your head.
or they USE You
as SLAVES.
Send You
SPANKING and SUFFERING and STANDING

You want you FREEDOM.
They let your head shoven,
however, understand finaly
that BRAIN is inside it.
INSIDE ther is power and power.
