I am currently working on a new website under the same name with wordpress/websitemaker. It's Mastery or nothing! For them who chose to be here in this lifetime as embodied consciousness or consciousness pioneers. The "New Energy Master", just passing through. Getting out of the Mind into true Knowingness, into the Essence. The Master discovers that it's all about just allowing! It's simply to live. To live... Live! When you live, you become a Standard for others. When you live, you have vitality and health and abundance. When you live, you inspire others Geert Vousten Consciousness Pioneer This document is also, or still, applicable and supportive for those who are now in that awareness process too… and is part of a lot of other information and knowledge that I want to share as wisdom with the world, mainly about “Consciously creating your own reality” and “The Human Game/The Holographic Universe”, as my contribution to the world, by radiating it, by being a standard, an example of “Being the change”. The world needs Standards more than anything else now.

  • By David Rothfuss Fireworks and Sex! Is a New
    ABSTRACT FIREWORKS AND SEX! by David Rothfuss Fireworks and Sex! is a new religion I’m launching so I can get rich without paying taxes. The religious document that follows, which you’re probably not even allowed to read on account of copyright restrictions, is pretty standard as religious documents go, providing you, the religious consumer, with 205 pages of morally ambiguous poems, fables and doodles to base your life upon. It is by far the most American religion out there, and a sure-fire path to a shinier existence, with the average follower experiencing 74% more happiness, 93% more freedom, and 87% more American Dream than those in other religions. If you were allowed to read it, which you’re not, it would provide you with an inside track to God and eternal salvation.

The letter dated December 14 th , reads, in part: “This office represents 495 Productions, Inc. ("495"), the producer of the television programs currently entitled "Tool Academy" (initially aired on the VH1 Network) and "A Shot At Love" (initially aired on the MTV Network) (collectively, the "Programs").

Please be advised that these performers (and any others that we may be unaware of) are all under binding and enforceable written agreements with 495 that prohibits them from in any way participating in the Websites.
