FOULDS, 32° Driving One man’s quest to honor Force John Philip Sousa ohn Philip Sousa seems like a logi- cal candidate to be immortalized in bronze. After all, his name is still a household word 75 years after his death.J Such marches as “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “El Capitan,” “The Washington Post March,” and “Semper Fidelis” are as famous now as when they were written. Every Fourth of July Sousa’s works are at the center of the Independence Day celebration. Erecting a permanent monument, therefore, seems like a “no- brainer.” “Not so,” says Ken Force, who worked tirelessly over the past several years for the creation of a memorial to the “March King.” He says, “Sousa was like mom and apple pie. Never a hint of a scandal, and remembered still as a pa- triot, yet it took a long time to build a fit- ting tribute to him.” Sousa’s statue is lowered to its pedestal in front of the new Marine Captain Kenneth Force is director of barracks in Washington, DC. the Merchant Marine Academy Band in King’s Point, NY.

Force and Jones developed a memo- rial honoring the wartime service of graduates of the college. Among his works Jones created “Mo- ment of Mercy” for the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA; a statue of Ernest Hemingway in Key West, FL; the Korean War Memorial in Los Angeles, and the 21-foot Mariner’s Monument at the U.S. Merchant Ma- rine Academy in King’s Point, NY. Jones created a “maquette,” or clay model, for a proposed Sousa memorial. In the original version of the model Sousa donned his civilian “Sousa Band” uniform, from his days in private life following his tenure with the Marine band.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
    www.IrPDF.com The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy The Higher Self is a source of positive thoughts and positive energy. The Chatterbox is the part of us that tries to drive us crazy. The Conscious Mind sends orders to the Subconscious Mind based on the information it gets from either the Higher Self or the Chatterbox. The Subconscious Mind does not question or judge. We can train it to choose from either the Higher Self or the Chatterbox. Your mind can choose to listen to your Chatterbox blabbering away with all kinds of self-defeating negativity, or it can choose to listen to your Higher Self, which is self-affirming, loving, giving and abundant. You must realize that you do have a Chatterbox within; and you have more, including the Higher Self. Neither one is right or wrong. Each simply gives you a different experience of life. If you listen to the Chatterbox, your experience of life is fear-producing, and you stop yourself from expanding. If you listen to the Higher Self, your experience of life is joyful and abundant and devoid of fear. You, like everyone else, are an expert at listening to your Chatterbox. Your task is now to become an expert at listening to your Higher Self. Then true choice will be possible. 1. Answered prayer is the realization of your heart's desire. 2. Infinite riches are all around you if you will open your mental eyes and behold the treasure of infinity within you. There is a gold mine within you from which you can extract everything you need to live life gloriously, joyously, and abundantly.

  • This Is Elwood Maunder Speaking in Tacoma, Washington, and It Is Friday, August 11, 1967
    Ed Heacox An Interview conducted by Elwood R. Maunder Forest History Society New Haven, CT 1967 All rights reserved This is Elwood Maunder speaking in Tacoma, Washington, and it is Friday, August 11, 1967. I'm interviewing Ed Heacox, former chief forester of the Weyerhaeuser Company, recently retired from that role in July. MAUNDER: Let's just kick off this interview with you with a few comments you might have to make about Charles H. Ingram and John Wahl and their role as you saw it in the Weyerhaeuser story. Would you just spin out a little bit about that? HEACOX: Yes. I think John Wahl first started working for the company in the old Clemmons Logging operation down in Grays Harbor. He worked there for several years and then went to Snoqualmie Falls and eventually became logging superintendent at Snoqualmie Falls under the general manager there, whose name was Tip O'Neil. He subsequently moved to the Vail McDonald operation and became logging superintendent and manager of the operation and then, I don't know the year, but he later came to Tacoma as an assistant to Charles Ingram in the general area of woods and timber and forestry matters. Mr. Ingram, as general manager of the company, had no staff at all in Tacoma. Of course, there was the usual run of supporting departments in accounting and law, and after 1936, industrial relations and public relations but they were relatively small and didn't operate too closely with the general management of the company. They had their own functions to perform.
