Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Industrial disease, that's the problem. Society has an industrial disease - and in their industrious way they have hurriedly trampled everything before them to get to what they believe they needed. Like dollar days at WalMart, they stampeded through anything in the path between points A and B.. Next time you are sitting on your porcelain throne, constipated from all the additives in your diet, ponder this, "What percentage of the planet is either laid barren or covered in concrete by man?" I would have said ' mankind ',, but, unfortunately, humans are not that ' kind ' to their surroundings or fellow animals. In this space/time continuum, Mother Earth is but a child. Bear in mind that She was here long before we darkened Her doorstep and thereby that makes humankind younger still, freshly crawled from Her womb . And we have become a very spoiled bunch of brats. We claim that we are the superior species on this Big Blue Marble. This is an untruth! The fa

One year ago today a friend passed into the next plain of existence. I dwell not in the sorrow of the death of her humanself, but, rather, I celebrate the birth of her new existence. The funeral was on November 22 - Toronto's first snow fall of 2007. Ironically, today was our first snowfall and when I gazed out my window I saw her standing there, smiling and wishing me Light and love. Her life in this plain was one of tragedy and sorrows, pain and suffering from a life of abuse and neglect. A beautiful soul that society had shunned and allowed for her to fall between the cracks of life. She suffers no more - she shines through. The blog concerning her affect and effect upon my life can be read at my http://dannverner.spaces.live.com page in the November 22, 2007 archive of my blog. I do not find it odd that The AtomicMother allowed for a snowfall to remind my forgetful human side to pay her homage on this day. A gentle reminder, if you will, that although the snowfall brings us pr

Above the clouds there is always Light. As in everyday life, the darkness is obliterated by the essence of Light. The only catch being that you must allow for the brilliance to shine through. Do not be held captive by the doom of gloom or the actions that cannot be controlled. The essence of life is exactly that - an essence. If you do not put the potpourri in the vessel then how will you be able to benefit from it's sweet aroma? Grab your life by the testicles and give it a gentle squeeze, a reminder that you are an energy, a Light, a persona and most of all, "One piece of a much greater Light." I squeezed mine today, now you go squeeze yours. It reminded me that although it is raining on this physical plain, the Light shines brightly above the clouds. Peace, my friends, peace, for in peace how can we not be so blessed?

I must apologize, for I have forgotten to spread the word of "FORGIVENESS" on many an occasion. I so often speak and relay the message of peace, love and unity, but, in reality to have the blessings of their Trinity one must first be capable of and have the overstanding of "FORGIVENESS" . For that is the key to achieving the Trinity . As in all that we learn or teach in our lives it often takes a nudge from a colleague or sometimes a stranger to bring out the awareness of a missing link. In my case concerning forgiveness it was the touch of a truly blessed Angel - that being Angel R. from Lovecry.org . (THANK YOU SO DEEPLY MISS ANGEL FOR ALLOWING MY OVERSTANDING OF YOUR MESSAGE) Deep thoughts.......so simplistic in their wording, but so complicated in their implication. Peace, love, unity, overstanding and, yes, the omni-importance of 'forgiveness' . The 'meanness' , if you will, of instilled human genetics, that dark little spot in all our Karma

I awoke with a thought, a fleeting glimpse of knowledge, a parcel of Light enveloped in the course of shadows. And it left me wondering.....did Gandhi, Aristotle or John Lennon experience such overstanding's in their lives? Did Miss V, my paralleled LightHouse have the same experience today? The knowledge was very simplified in it's context. "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom,"LET IT BE"" Not to say that 'Mother Mary' is she who is portrayed within the over-edited Bible. No, she may be Herself, God, Buddha, Jah, Cosmic Muffin, Hairy Thunderer or whosoever YOU perceive as the Master of Creation. We are taught that there is but one universe, which to an extent is truth, (for existence is our way of overstanding that which is), but only because science and religion alike are not yet to admit that there is a "Multi-verse". Those who do speak forth this knowledge are labeled by societal

Hey, Jah, it is I and I again speaking to you and to ask that you allow for these humans to rectify what they have done to the gift you have so graciously bestowed upon them. I and I apologize for that which they have so damaged in their selfishness and immaturity. Forgive them - for they know not what they have done. In all the overstanding wisdom you have enabled mankind to have at their hand, they neglected to overstand the words of your way. Their societal mind farts fogged their visions of the beauty of their existence on this plain and their prescience in this multi-verse. It's me again, Jah, as I fall on my knees today, asking (on their behalf) for a second chance. Allow for the beacon of my Light to allow their eyes to envision YOUR Light. Allow for the many who are part of I and I to lead these naive lambs to the path of wisdom. Let our fold allow them the teachings and wisdom you have blessed upon I and I. For mine eyes have no enemies within mine heart and I and I shall

Yo, yo, yo ... I have finally gone verbal.....please come and join me and assist in spreading the overstanding of the Light http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DannVerner

Why is it always so windy on recycling day? Does our Divine Mother Earth take humour in watching me chase my pizza boxes up the hill? Or perhaps in her infinite wisdom she has developed a way to rid my trees of their discoloured leaves. Hence, again "She" creates for me a task of exercise and outdoorsmanship. Our human selves do not notice when The Atomic Mother does such things. I notice, I take to thought what I see happen behind the scenes of everyday societal living. Think this thought out: First the temperatures drop, thusly causing summer foliage to turn to the colors of Autumn. Secondly, She shuffles the currents of the very air She allows us to breath, thusly, ridding the trees of their cumbersome leaves and allowing for them to store their sweet nectars to enable their winters sleep. A replenishment of their existence. There are even deeper thoughts contained within such moments of life on this Big Blue Marble. As we stroll through this life on this, time/space conti

Are you afraid of your phone or are you constantly waiting for it to ring and possibly bring to your ear that special someone you often think about, but are too shy to call? Mostly for me it is the latter. I fear the ring-a-ling-ding only when being harassed by drunken friends or collection agencies. (It isn't easy being a poor boy) When my phone rings and it is a beautiful soul on the other end, my heart races, my Light becomes brilliant and my shyness reaches its maximum. With this quandary I am at least spared the embarrassment of turning into a five year old child before the very eyes I so admire. It is amusing to watch myself become so tongue tied and adolescent. I am not one who has trouble finding things to say except in this dilemma and setting. Often this has cost me missing the cue I so long awaited. One would think that after five decades on this plain I would have gotten past the emotional freezing brought about by a hidden heart crush. I have a crush on a select few of

What in The Creator's name is wrong with all of you? Fifty-eight percent turnout - 58% - WHAT A FARCE!!!! Makes me ashamed to be Canadian.......IT IS TIME WE GOT OFF OUR FATTENED ASSES AND STARTED SPEAKINMG OUT FOR OURSELVES! (BUT, OF COURSE, NOW WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER FOUR YEARS) I can guarantee that ALL OF YOU will turn out at your local coffee shops to bitch and complain about Mister's Harper and Dion. The cafe will be filled with chatter of how the economy is so bad and how poor you are. This will be followed by the incessant bitching rages of how the price of everything is rising and how you all can barely afford your next case of beer or bag of pot. If you were all here in my home right at this moment I may very well forget that I am non-violent and slap you right in your hand that cannot make an "X". Compare our elections to that of our American counterparts and you will definitely see how lazy and STUPID the average Canadian voter is. You should all be a

Some enlightenment from my brother-in-arms about the up-coming Canadian election. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?v=feed&id=679058051#/profile.php?id=509490051 Trey Vote! Are u aware that on Aug 8/08, the Fed Govt cut funds to programs that support cultural exports: the ProMart -Arts Promotion and the Trade Routes Program. 11:07pm Trey Mills at 11:17pm October 12 On Aug 8 - Harper cut funds to programs that support cultural exports: the ProMart -Arts Promotion and the Trade Routes Program run by Dept of Can Heritage. Overall, the Conference Board estimates that the cultural sector is valued at over $4 billion annually. Much of the revenue from our cultural production comes from offshore sales. This trend will continue as Canadian firms venture further into the global marketplace. Clearly, as the manufacturing sector declines, the cultural industries represent a good investment for the future and deserve public support – as much as any other industry. And now.. as the US economy

As fall has arrived I am once again Plagued with the horrible INS, so, I am re-publishing a blog I wrote in November 2007 It seems to my contorted malformed outlook towards this self labeled existence your homo sapient species declare as humanity that as "Atomic Mother Earth" has another one of her annual menopausal temperature episodes, you are dancing in cohesion to her moods and wants. If my memory does not fail me, then, I recall that not just twenty-four hours ago I was strolling the Danforth in a T-shirt and blue jeans. I recall my endocentric annoyance at the sweat gathering in the furrow of my brow as I glinted from the warm brightness of the summer comparable sunlight. Yet, on this bright Thursday morn, "Atomic Mother Earth" has decided to plague me with the dreaded "Irritated Nipple Syndrome". My whole life I suffered from "INS". The symptoms of which is a debilitating and very sensitive soreness of the good old human teats. There is no

So, as Autumn lays her cooling grasp upon my human self and I bathe in her gentle caress, my “LIGHT” also changes to facilitate the arrival of the new season in this space/time continuum. And I give praise to the “COSMIC MUFFIN” for allowing me to share this physical experience with you, in this facet of the plains of being. I am surprisingly very energetic and have tasked myself with a complete cleansing of both my body and my residence. In the ritual way, for both my physical and domestic quarters, I began at the main entrance and have worked my way to the farthest corners of the basement. As for this temple that is recognized as my body, I have changed my diet to allow for that which nature provides to us this season. I partake of her precious gifts of root vegetables and all else she offers to our physical selves. We are gifted with certain foods at certain times for a reason – certainly we are! This is the season of meditation and reflections. The time we should use to prepare o

BANG! Bang! ...................We hear it in the evening, we read about it during the day and we live it continuously. Gang!.................... Our society has always had them, sometimes under the guise of “GROUPS”, or “CLUBS” or, sometimes, as the ever so elusive “ASSOCIATIONS”. Our children have been forced into this humanistic behaviorism by the instilled genetic wanderlust to be needed, to be protected, to feel important. The Cosmic Muffin set upon us the freedoms of choice – the knowledge between 'right' and 'wrong' . It is 'we' who have misinterpreted the meaning of what is in our natural existence and the constant craving to be a “PART” of our individual and collective societal dance. My heart aches every time I hear the thunder of gunfire, my skeletal framework throbs in agony when I read of another fallen youth and my mind cries to the Heavens when I am forced to watch the visualization of “MURDER” on my six o'clock news. As many of you are alr

I have touched and I have been touched - not in the physical sense, but rather, in the spiritual sense. Touches can be more then a hands on affair - they can move your soul, guide your LIGHT or simply make you feel the love others have towards you. As your touch can do this upon others. I touch people constantly. Sometimes it is through the axis of astral traveling, other times it via person to person contact and even other times it is as simple as sending my beam of LIGHT and LOVE their way. I am touching you now as you read my words and I pray that this touch moves you into a happier existence. That is my purpose - that is what the Cosmic Muffin or who-so-ever you perceive your Creator has asked of me. Reach out people - reach far and wide and let others bathe in that Light that is you. Do not hesitate for they who hesitate fail in their quest. Love is a universal language and love is very easily expressed - just speak the words "I LOVE YOU!". They will be heard. There are

I have Georgia on my mind. My heart aches to see such a fiasco of an assault on a populace that only wishes to live and guide their own lives. Since they declared their independence in 1991, the people have lived in fear of such as is happening now. Man bombing fellow man. What makes this even more disheartening is this is happening by a society that was at one time so-called 'neighbors'. We all have heard or seen what is happening in our various media's, so rather then write a lengthy explanation of what has happened to cause this conflict I have the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_South_Ossetia_war Pray to your Creator and shine your Light for this barbaric conflict to come to an end before an escalation occurs. We must let Russia know that this is unacceptable. We must spread the words of Love, Peace and Unity!

I find it astonishing that in this day and age there are still the atrocities happening in Tibet and many many other countries. People we must - I cannot stress it more sincerely - we MUST change our ways and the way we all behave and exist in this beautiful Big Blue Marble we all call home!!! The world is becoming lost in it's own self - everything is rushed, life is stressed, our children suffer by the actions of us, War is a common newsworthy thing, Peace is all but forgotten - let us be the ones who want and will change this! Oppression is happening everywhere. This is so saddening - so backward. Peace and unity with love is very easy to accomplish, if the WANT is there. War takes a great effort - and many of trillions of dollars. If we all were to say "No More!" and let our governments and the powers that be in other places overstand that "WE" are no longer willing to stand by and watch this take place, then society as a whole will change and the benefits w

I was born in the year of the 'rooster' on a 'blue moo n' and just happened to be a 'blue baby' . What a mind fart that is. Perhaps this is where my eccentricities arise from..also my 'Third Eye Sightedness'. Unlike the ever famous 'box of chocolates' my life has been a 'bar of toffee' - hard to chew, but delicious till the end. My latest venture into Transcendental Meditation has acknowledged within my " Light " that I should focus more on "Wisdom's of Life" and such. I have had so numerous life lessons in my half a century upon this universal plain of space and time. I have learned that, for instance:... The first thing to remember in this space and time is: "Peace is more then a mere verbal utterance, more then a concept devised by four British Lads, one Ravi Shankar, and Bob Dylan having a beer at their local pub." "All purposes have a meaning and all meanings have a purpos

Through all the ages mankind has used lyrics and music to express their feelings, wants and current affairs. Despite the insistent repeated messages of all the bands and individual musicians throughout the sixties, society chose not to heed the warnings. Now, forty years later, we have realized that those warnings were quite well founded. Whether it was the Beatles, Bob Dylan or whoever, their message was the same. "Give peace a chance ". They attempted to teach us that this beautiful planet was meant to be "shared" in a unison of peace and oneness. Yes, music is a universal language and in my opinion the greatest language mankind could ever devise. Spoken languages and differential dialects become one - the rhythms and lyrics can unite two totally opposite societal bands and throughout the duration all sides can dance to the same beat. So, let our modern day minstrels bring on the "noise" and let us all become "Third Eye Sighted&q

Ok, another confession of my lack of responsibility. I admit fault. I laxed on my cleaning, well, no not 'laxed' . I devised a new way to clean your home, more environmentally sound and favourable. Rather then poison this Big Blue Marble with cleaning solvents and such, I discovered that if you replace all the lightbulbs in the house with those of a lesser wattage, then the mess and disorder do not appear so severe. So, right now we are at the forty watt stage, next comes the twenty-five watt refrigerator bulb and finally the ever faithful twelve watt 'nightlight bulb' . OR. I will reach into the under the sink cabinet and utilize the large bottle of Pinesol or the smaller bottle of Organic Enviro-Friendly All Purpose solvent. It seems that in my quest to spread Light to those in the shadows I neglected to look within my own grayed areas of this universal plain. I have been a very irresponsible home owner. And I hereby sentence me to the arduou

"Peace is more then a mere verbal utterance, more then a concept devised by four British Lads, one Ravi Shankar, and Bob Dylan having a beer at their local pub." November 21st 2007 Dann Verner These Minstrels,Holy Men, Poets and many others with similar artistic talents and beliefs used their musi c, their minds , their Charisma their very souls to spread the philosophies of peace and unity. If only we all would have listened our lives would be in much better benefit. NOW, it is the time for listening and it is up to us as fellow brothers and sisters to spread the message - not only do we have a greatly scarred planet to heal - we also have the tremendous task of teaching our fellow man that it is OUR time to unite into one world of peace and tranquility - war is not the answer and never shall it be. Trips to the Cosmos are not going to help. The trillions of dollars being spent on such could be far greater used here on Mother Earth in more mean
