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

So, I pleasured my senses by watching "Across The Universe" for the twentieth time. As usual, I had tears roll down my cheeks, at certain points. Emotion. Emotion. Emotion. Brought on by the mystical lyrics of Masters Lennon and McCartney. Or perhaps not.....perhaps not. Perhaps brought on by my memories of the Cultural Revolution I was blessed to live in and through during my formable years. There can never be a repetition of the gift given to modern society by the Beatles. That t-shirt has been worn. Their's was the catalyst of the dawning of the age of Aquarius. The frontal mass of the Army of Peace. It amazes me that a simple, poetic, well thought written song or, rather, a collection of songs, can bring forth such emotional thought processes in so great a number of souls. Mankind can never witness a feat as this again. Because they have surpassed the simplicity of the message. Ninety nine percent of modern day music carries little or no meaning (other then "m...

There are numerous avenues and ways in which to offer up thanks and gratitudes for Blessings that Be. Which one of these is best sincere to show such? I know not, therefore I merely go with my instinctive inner voice. "I offer my gratitude to The Creators for the life I have been given in this multiverse and space/time continuum. I am humbled by their gifts of trials, tribulations, conflicts and woes. For without these I would not be aware of the true gifts of success, overstanding, resolution and joy." In my adolescent "Walk with Dann" I have seen, accomplished and experienced far more then most men. I have witnessed violence, I have experienced violence and I have been victimized by violence. In my senior "Walk" I have witnessed peace, experienced the 'turning of the other cheek' and held my hand out to the victim. Life is like the Spirit of the Ocean. She can be a mighty mean 'Whore' or a calming 'Lady'. It all depends on how and...

I was recently asked if I believed in Jesus Christ. What anxiety this raised within me - it was though I had been waiting for some soul to ask me this deep question. Here is my mindset on this controversial topic. I definitely believe in Jesus. I believe he walked upon this big blue marble. I believe he spread the words of the Creators. I believe he was a man who was ahead of his time in the area's of logic, societal disposition and culture. Jesus was a man. I do NOT believe he was the SON OF GOD. (Where is Mrs. God?) Whoa, now I have stepped into it........so, here I go.............. Jesus was a Prophet. Jesus was a peaceful, gentle scholar who wished only to make an immature society overstand the reality of spiritualism and human reality. Jesus was the original Hippie. Jesus was born at the wrong time. Jesus was persecuted for his overstanding of what this plain of existence was, is and shall be. In the rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar", the ...

Be it criminal to be living in poverty? In Toronto it appears as so. Reverend Justin was recently fined $65 for 'aggressively' selling the "Street News" - this just peeves me to no end!!! I can overstand the penalizing of an over aggressive pan handler. I cannot overstand the fine for hawking a newspaper In my youth it was common place to hear the bawk of the local corner newspaper person constantly saying, "Times Paaaaaaper!!! Get your Times!!!". I am positive that never were they fined for their efforts to make mere pocket change. I hope all can overstand that the Street News was/is developed to allow for those living in poverty to earn a few measly dollars without lowering themselves to BEGGING for your pennies. The few dollars they earn may mean the difference between being hungry (again) or not - between sleeping on a subway grate or not. $65 is not much to the working soul, but to someone with ten cents in their pocket it can be a whole months groceri...

Here I am, alone in a crowded life. Here I am, can you feel the dampness of my shed tears? Here I am, reaching out for solice. Here I am, crying from life. Here I am, living in The Light. Here I am, shaking in my fright. Here I am, asking for love. Here I am, releasing Little White Doves. HERE - I AM But, WHERE - WHERE, Do I STAND? Simply put...I am Dann JUST AS I AM

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...
