MENG-SUN-YANG asked Yang Chu:
"There are men who cherish life and care for their bodies with the intention of grasping immortality. Is that possible?"
Yang Chu replied: "According to the laws of nature there is no such thing as immortality."
Meng-sun-Yang: "Yet is it possible to acquire a very long life?"
Yang Chu: "According to the laws of nature there is no such thing as a very long life. Neither can life be preserved by cherishing or the body benefited by fostering."
Meng-sun-Yang: "What would be a long life?"
"All things were the same as they are now. The five good and bad passions were of old as they are now. So also the safety and peril of the four limbs. Grief and joy for the things of this world were of old as they are now, and the constant change of peace and revolution. Having seen and heard all these things, one would already be awearied of it at the age of a hundred. How much more after a very long life!"
Meng-sun-Yang: "If it be so a sudden death would be preferable to a long life; therefore we ought to run on to a pointed sword or jump into deep water to have what our heart yearns for."
Yang Chu: "No. Having once come into life regard it and let it pass; mark its desires and wishes, and so wait death.
"When death comes, disregard it and let it come. Mark what it brings you, and be drifted away to annihilation.
"If you pay no regard to life and death, and let them be as they are, how can you be anxious lest our life should end too soon?"

Hey Friend,

Taken directly from their website:
Overview and Mission Statement
• To provide researchers, activists and ‘whistleblowers’ with access to all forms of media in order to get the truth out.
• Our focus includes but is not limited to the following:
- extraterrestrial visitation and contact
- time travel
- mind control
- classified advanced technology
- free energy

- revealing plans that exist to control the human race.
• To establish ‘safety in numbers’ and unite these disparate factions under an umbrella of protection for activists and ‘whistleblowers’ who may have concerns for the safety of themselves and their loved ones.

To get an idea of the information they are exposing you can read their original "Big Picture" article here: http://projectcamelot.org/The_Big_Picture.pdf
A lot of their information is really out there and will definitely seem unbelievable. All I ask is for you to explore the information on their website with an open mind.
Peace,

Arabian Wisdom on Contentment
Contentment is to refrain from coveting what others have.
Contentment is a treasure which is inexhaustible.
The most thankful of men is he who is contented.
He who seeks riches must seek them in contentment.
Give freely, and be content with little.
A contented man is happy in life.
Life is a vanishing space of time, and he alone vanquishes its changing fortunes who lives in contentment.
Be content with what God has given you, and you will be the richest of men.
If you cannot have what you want, be content with what you have.
If all cannot be obtained, a part may be attained.
There is relief in despair.

A Spiritual Conspiracy
On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out.
From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You won't see us on the T.V.
You won't read about us in the newspaper
You won't hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly
we have the power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open
