"When grovelling minds of little worth Forsake the GOD of heaven and earth, What dreams of fancy they imbibe; They claim as kin the money tribe. They set all history at defiance And call their speculations science, Then try to shew the wondrous plan Of how the ape became a man. All things to GOD men used to trace, But now we're told that men and worms Have only sprung from lower forms; And when proud science lends her aid They'll tell us how these forms are made; This thought is theirs - O happy notion! "Mind is but matter in motion." In works of art they see design, And own that wisdom did combine; They say that you may behold it in A watch, a mousetrap, or a pin; But all the flowers that scent the breeze, The fruits that grow upon the trees, The wondrous form and powers of man, Arose they say without a plan. If science shews that man escapes And leaves the ranks of grizzly apes; Then science may reverse the plan And prove the ape a fallen man. And this new species yet may boast And gain the tails their fathers lost; As matter moves and beauty withers , Time may yet class them with their fathers. No GOD they see in all creation; They spurn the thought with indignation, Their main pursuit in this life is self; Their creed is -"Always mind yourself." They say to saint and sage and ruffian - "The future state is but a coffin; And when we pass beyond life's storms, We hope to be devoured by worms." O charming hope for which they wait! What glory glids their future state! If here they do but little good, Yet after death they're used as food. Then let this glowing prospect cheer, Take care of self while you're here, Grow fat and plump till latest breath, And you'll be useful after death." -D.S. FROM THE CHRISTIAN COMMONWEALTH, January 25th, 1894 Quoted from the book Zetetic Cosmogony If all that I know is but folly like a naked old fool hiding in a thorny patch of brier holly, why am I so jolly - and not melancholy? Born Mickey Allen Lee in Mobile, Alabama Feb 27, 1968 to Allen Jack Lee and Cherie Anasha Carney. Adopted by Step-father Elson Delmar Johnson at Laurel, Mississippi in 1980. Off and on poet and writer all of my life. Became Buddhist in 2000 Became Christian in 2023.

FROM THE CHRISTIAN COMMONWEALTH, January 25th, 1894 Quoted from the book Zetetic Cosmogony Man like a bird in a cage of ignorance dwells, as though of his ownself he knows not well. He trusts of others to feed his mind unaware that their doctrines come from strange minds - the thinker, who trusts his own mind shall find treasures which others shall not seek to find, but only as he seeks shall he find - as he trusts not others to train his mind.(Mickey Johnson 1998C) " To laugh at my madness, sadness, and pain - to realize that all is but temporary gain and loss - to lessen miseries hold, in my humor my I be bold. To live laughing till my last living breath - to understand the wisdom of the jest. Oh, breath my roaring Laugh!" (Mickey Johnson 2010 March) "If you think that education is expensive try ignorance."(Ben Franklin) "The journey of 1000 miles begins with one step" (Lao Tsu) "****We are a culmination of our collective histories and that there is still much more to bind us together than tear us apart." (Loreena McKennitt) Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Buddha from the Kalama Sutta. "A tongue can accuse and carry bad news the seeds of distrust it can sow, but unless you've made no mistakes in your life be careful of stones that you throw." {HANK WILLIAMS} "I know one thing, I know nothing." Socrates "Absolute certainty is a privilege of uneducated minds and fanatics." - C.J. Keyser Those who cannot hear an angry shout may strain to hear a whisper.” Leonard Nimoy From the endless dream of eternity I summon all that is beautiful. "Dreams are the royal road to the knowledge of the mind." Sigmund Freud 'A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song'- Maya Angelou "Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." - Rainer Maria Rilke "May I be a guard for those who are protectorless, A guide for those who journey on the road; For those who wish to go across the water, May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge. May I be an isle for those who yearn for landfall, And a lamp for those who long for light; For those who need a resting place, a bed, For all who need a servant, may I be a slave. May I be the wishing jewel, the vase of plenty, A word of power, and the supreme remedy. May I be the trees of miracles, And for every being, the abundant cow. Like the great earth and the other elements, Enduring as the sky itself endures, For the boundless multitude of living beings, May I be the ground and vessel of their life. Thus, for every single thing that lives, In number like the boundless reaches of the sky, May I be their sustenance and nourishment Until they pass beyond the bounds of suffering." - Shantideva {Indian Buddhist Master 8th century} "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -Albert Einstein "In the end, we return to the question, just how much do you love truth? Do you really love truth or are you just curious? Do you love it enough to rebuild your understanding to conform to a reality that doesn't fit your current beliefs, and doesn’t feel 120% happy? Do you love truth enough to continue seeking even when it hurts, when it reveals aspects of yourself (or human society, or the universe) that are shocking, complex and disturbing, or humbling, glorious and amazing – or even, when truth is far beyond human mind itself? Just how much do we love truth? It’s a good question to ask ourselves, I think." - Scott Mandelker “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest insane and intolerable and so if he is romantic he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.” - H.L. Mencken http://www.serpo.org/release27a.php"
