Daily journal August 28, 2001, Why do you not live in the real world? What is truth?

On the streets of Charleston an art booklet was being handed out and inside was a most unusual message about life and the message was being displayed in visual art. The picture of a man called Wulf Rant as their guru with his statement about life and the real world. I do not know this man other than to read his one-page statement entitled the art of life but I agree with most of what he is saying about the real world and I quote "I am ask, why don’t you live in the real world? What real world? This ‘real world’, for all its profit, is a world ravaged by poverty: a world that poisons its environment: a world plagued with venereal disease; rampant with rape and murder: crammed with criminal merchants, criminal money changers, criminal preachers, criminal politicians-all of them lying and cheating and exploiting the people, and all of this unprincipled, unreligious madness again and again escalating into the mass criminal insanity called war. A world that, in the name of profit, is deliberately, maniacally extincting all the wild beautiful creatures. That is the reality of the “Real World". Are we going to go on accepting this and call it "Real", call it life? It is not! it's a horror movie-a mindless morbid scenario scripted by unevolved leaders who leach away the life and the soul of humanity and planet Earth and all of it’s innocent inhabitants . . . no! Life needs to become art. High Art . . . and it can. The art of life is based on cooperation, not competition: friendship, not enmity: love, not hate; Peace, not war: Truth, not lies. The truth way is the way of enlightenment, individual and social, and enlightenment-true social, political, religious enlightenment–is all that can save us now. The old ways of competition, enmity, hate, war, and lies are done-over. The old society has become a Suiciety. It has already been tried and convicted by the best minds of our time. The best minds of science, of the Arts, and of the street. At Zendik Farm I want to direct our life and our art toward effecting creative change-creative change through ecolibrium, a workable proven social political alternative”, Wulf. This group of about 50 people are in Western North Carolina, it appears to be for bewildered misplaced people. I could not disagree with a haven for those disillusioned with this system. Although this writer does not appear to have any real permanent answer and that is salvation through Christ. His statements about the conditions about which we live are basically true in my opinion. I would like to see more of their ultimate goal in turning this old world around.

Psalms 73-26 “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever". The preceding verse is great also. "Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee". This could be some “New Age” doctrine above but I want to learn more about their objectives before I form an opinion.

My faith is destroyed in this system and most of the church. There is such an underground by that never seems to surface for complete understanding by the membership. People did serve without question so long as they are high on sugar and even some much stronger materials. May every soul understand truth until God puts truth in our minds and hearts. I've given up thinking politicians have our best interest at heart. We must return to the original foundation of our country and that is near impossible. We can hope and we can pray but we cannot change it back like it was formed. We have false hopes but God has the plan to restore this earth to its original garden of Eden condition before the fall of man.

There is one way to salvation and that is Christ the Lord, it is no secret, it is real here now.

The church today has religion but not salvation, the people have been persuaded away to serve man, even the church but not God. Let us return to real worship of God Almighty.
