Here are a couple of my favorite inspiring quotes. Enjoy!
Quotes from the amazing book Cosmic Journeys by Rosalind McKnight:
Every soul has its own special tune to play in the universal orchestra. p. 93
War is the manifestation of fear. Humans fear to be killed. Thus, they kill out of fear, striking first before the fear turns in upon itself. p. 223
From Revelations of an Elite Family Insider (2005)

Hi everyone,
I've been away for a while, but I just remembered this place and realized it may just be what I need right now.
I'm planning on leaving society mid November. What I mean by that is i am looking for a community to live in and be a part of that is not a part of society in any way for a minimum of six months.

We are here for a greater reason. When we choose to remember this, it is much easier to keep things in perspective. The more we remember the bigger picture, the easier it is to make choices in life which serve us and all around us.

Shoot me for recounting dreams because sometimes nothing seems less interesting than other peoples dreams!
I'll try to keep this short-hopefully no one will die of boredom.
This morning, I had the clearest and most elaborate dream in quite a while.
I was at a [dance] party or gathering at a big old house on the outskirts or edge of some city/town. It was me and a bunch of others enjoying one another's company, celebrating something.

Great stuff, Noa! I've been looking for something like this. I may do it. Thanks so much!!!
Does this mean that we can pay our taxes to these funds INSTEAD of federal government or is that too much to hope for yet? I read the page, but the wording seemed a little confusing to me. Thanks!
Yes, Andrey. That's the general idea. The People's Life fund has 3 different options. See A, B, and C above. Option B is a safe choice for people who think the IRS might come back and ask them for back taxes afterward.
In any case, I'm glad to see people organize against this illegal system of taxation and forced funding of undeclared, illegal, and immoral wars.

(Please help, Andrey; I don't see the buttons to embed this video or make a hyperlink. I'm currently using filtered HTML mode.)
Cool. I'll definitely look into it. As far as videos/pictures/hyperlinks, click on the blue "Switch to Rich Text editor" button on the full node page. That'll give you the extra options. We're keeping them off by default so it looks cleaner on mobile devices. To embed a video, you can just copy/paste the embed code from youtube. The "add flash" button is taken off because the new embed code from YouTube works on all devices, whereas flash doesn't. I'll talk to Fred about writing some documentation.
UPDATE: I just noticed that we did have it disabled on comments. It should work now. Cheers!
Thanks Noa, This is a great find. I knew about the war tax resistors movement a little but I had no idea anyone was actually suceeding with it enough to create a seperate fund. Here's the list of similar funds nationwide: http://nwtrcc.org/resist/redirection/
Hey Noa, I finally withheld my war taxes this year and am considering placing those funds with the People's Life Fund you reported on here. Thanks so much for you suggestion!
