Wow! How lucky was Dennis to have a friend like you! And what an extraordinary story. Really, it is a horror story. I often wondered how you managed to get Dennis out of jail, and now I know.
Gary Wean's book is full of horror stories like this as well, as you know. Hearing a similar story from you makes it even more horrific. No wonder America is so corrupt. I hate to admit it, but it is probably much the same in Australia as well.
In those days in Ventura, before Dennis was arrested and we became a mecca, I remember an Anglican (or something similar) priest visited our offices from New Zealand. I think that it was after the raid. Anyway, we were in the parking lot, discussing the corruption that we encountered, and the priest said something like, "Every nation is this way." Then he proceeded to tell me of some skullduggery to steal even more land from the Maoris. It was one of my earliest indicators that there was no place on Earth that was free from the kind of corruption that we were encountering.
When people suggest that we can move to this or that nation, to pursue free energy in peace, I just smile at them. I have been hearing those naïve suggestions for nearly 40 years.
In my long years of study, that began to become very clear. These kinds of dynamics go back to chimps and even all social animals. As I write, humans have become more humane and less violent over the human journey:
But it is also its most precious. I am not asking the people I seek to do what Dennis, Gary, Mr. Professor, Alison, and I did. They just need to learn to sing the song of abundance:
Lots of food for thought. I will get back to you. I just want to say at this stage that underlying personal integrity is an ability to love of oneself. Integrity cannot exist within self-hate. During my four years in America my most common advice for people with problems was "learn to love yourself." It seems to me that an absence of self-love is the greatest obstacle to manifesting the abundance of which you write because it connotes "I do not deserve." It is also the greatest obstacle to peace. This is what I have learned during my 40-year spiritual journey.
Love is always the answer, and yes, unless you love yourself, you cannot love others. In a world of scarcity and fear, love is hard to come by. In a world of abundance, it will be much easier. :)

But that is relative. My primary lesson over those years was the personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity:

I am here to help them with that. I was hoping that you would get something out of this post. :) Gary was a great one.
