Intro + First Post

I'm finding myself more and more attracted to truth and light/energy these days. I'm not quite sure how this will go (if it "goes" at all), but I'll at least take a stab at building something here, once I figure out just what it is I'm building.

Having said that, first I wish to say that I'm open to all forms of comments, advice, constructive criticism, etc. I am most interested in historical truth of events that have led the human "race" to where it is now, and the events today that are molding our future.

I'm beginning to suspect that there is at least some truth in the Bible, as well as in the Koran, Torah, etc. Until now I had been interested only in the Buddha, who said that no one should simply believe what he (the Buddha) said, but we should all think for ourselves and discover the truth through analytical mediation.

I still believe very strongly in the above statement, but now I hope to use this premise (we'll call it) for examining truth in places right in front of my eyes.



Here's the first "post" (I'll call it for now):

The New York Times (N.Y./Region)
"Aide Asked State Police to Contact His Accuser,"
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
Published: February 26, 2010

This article describes how "David W. Johnson, a top aide to [NY] Gov. David A. Paterson, reached out to the commander of the governor’s State Police detail the day after an altercation with his girlfriend and asked the commander to call the woman, according to a person briefed on the commander’s actions....

Two days after the woman says Mr. Johnson choked her, ripped off her clothing and prevented her from calling for help, she went to Family Court in the Bronx to seek an order of protection. She complained under oath then, and in a court appearance two days later, that troopers had been pressuring and harassing her not to pursue charges or obtain the order of protection."

Just a quick comment on this one, I think the article justifies many questions for us all to ask of ourselves and those in a position of power, including "to what extent do those in public office abuse power?"

It was after reading this article, combined with some deep conversation with a friend last night, that gave me the motivation to finally start a blog.
