Since high school,...I was "homeless, and exposed to the cold (hospitalized)...," joined the Army, went to UMass, started prophesizing, got stuck near Cape Cod without work for years and years, wrote creative material, and got arrested at least seven times standing for what I believe in. No arrests for fights, but false testimonies, false arrest, etc., never leading to any convictions. The chants against Plymouth Police, I started in response to mistreatments, weren't accepted as true prophecy by enough of the courts, press, government, etc., to prevent my commitment to a mental hospital. Three officers on seperate occasions had pretended not to know me after my canvas of about 500 homes in the immediate area two years before, a strong newspaper ad in The Boston Pheonix before that, campaigns at local colleges, a solicitation permit in Miami Beach, and much more. My poverty level was legislated as prohibited for release, and therefore I was coerced to accept disability money.
I was in Israel for 3.5 years until '00 when my money ran out. Since then: a homeless shelter (six months); many temp jobs; this website; a wait for public housing; and intense study in Hebrew and many subjects. Cheap DSL has enabled me to listen to Israeli broadcasts, and boost my language skills tremendously, among other things.
My synopsis on differences between a private hospital and public? The private had disciplined courses, required whether they applied to a client or not. The motivation felt like attending a strict boarding school. The private had a common room for underage clients and adults to snack, watch TV, and play table games. The public feeling was to isolate from unexplainably suspect themes, or objects and areas. The one or two self-committed seemed to receive preferred treatment. The public hospital went from concrete dorms to very comfortable new accomodations while I was there, and my synopsis might have changed in time.
Currently, I just finished two years, part-time, as a personal Caregiver for a partial quadriplegic. I also have a small website design and services website. If your interested, you can find it by doing a search under my name.
Future...
My defined role in the Bible is to change the Jewish religion. I plan to live in Israel as much as I can, but I also develop an illness that should be addressed by leaving the region sometimes. I'm hoping to find another country that will accept dual citizenship. I want to avoid returning to the U.S. because of the distance.
In the meantime, I've got two lofty goals.
The first, is to return the U.S. to the ideals our founders tried to instill. The dominant political parties have again outlived their viability. They must be dissolved, or reorganized and renamed, to bury the atrocious shame they've brought on us. They consider themselves spiritually superior to their predecessors, whom dissolved gracefully. Their dangerous confusions start with the criminal status of safe recreational drugs, and end with the attack or destruction of well intentioned, sovereign nations.
The second goal, as I stated above, is to change my religion. This is my proposal. Did you know that the Book of Isaiah can be seen as a braid of several themes? When the prose is unbraided, points about the messiah are found. His native tongue isn't Hebrew, and he has trouble speaking in the language (28:11). He will form a branch of Judaism likely to swallow or influence all the other branches (11:1).
