Don't lose hope. The spirit of truth, reform and progressive change is still in the air, despite all the misguided, misleading efforts to kill it.
We believe that in due time it will become more powerful and adept than it was in the 1930s and 1960s, and this time it will endure, grow, and prevail.
Granted, that's not how it looks now, and it does seem as if the spirit of truth might lose again to the forces of greed and self-interest. After all, they've shown they will resort to slander and deception to maintain the status quo and perpetuate the political-economic system that has made the richest few so much richer at the expense of all the rest of us.
However, in due time, the spirit of truth will expose them and all other proud and militant groups that are fighting for the power to rule over us. And, it will turn the tables on all the aggressive and offensive hypocrites who claim to be religious Jews or Christians or Muslims. It will remind them of the universal truths in the scriptures that they have either misinterpreted or ignored, and they will have to face the truth, at long last.
Then, ultimately, the spirit of truth will enable the humble, gentle, peaceful majority of us to unite and inherit the earth, no matter what our religion may be, and whether we are religious or not.
See, the spirit of truth tells us that the most important thing is not what we claim our religion is. Any hypocrite can feign religiosity, as so many do these days. So the most important thing now is how we speak and act, how we treat one another, care for one another, and share with one another in the real world.
The original songs above help to express the spirit of truth. They were written and performed by David, a 68 year old seer who wrote them between 1978 and 1982. But, he did not realize how far ahead of their time they were. In fact, he shelved them in 1984 because he saw his people were being misled and swept away by a lot of flag waving, bible thumping and sword rattling, which he saw as ominous signs of the terrible things to come.
David also saw that the direction America was headed was not only perilous, but absolutely contrary to the intent of the founding fathers.
After all, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Paine, John Adams and most other founding fathers (and later even Abraham Lincoln) wanted real freedom of religion, including freedom from religious bigotry, and especially freedom from theocratic imposition. Jefferson spoke for most of them when he said that religious beliefs should be a private matter and there must be a "wall of separation between church and state."
So, David put his guitar away and picked up his "pen" to try to issue warning and remind people of universal truths -- but people were listening to the wrong voices. Many things continued to get worse, not only in America, but in many other countries. Greed, self-interest, corruption, partisan political conflict and division increased right along with religious bigotry, hypocrisy and theocratic imposition. More and more people became divided and pitted against each other by leaders who claimed to be religious and/or patriotic, and it seems as if David's written work has been in vain and for nought.
However, David's first works were his songs. And recently, since the spirit of truth and reform is in the air again, David felt that perhaps his songs might now be heard. So, he dusted off his guitar and after nine months of practicing and arranging his songs, between December 2008 and April 2009 David recorded his songs on a little portable 4-track tape recorder in his home, performing all vocal and instrumental parts by himself. And he did so despite his declining health and shortness of breath due to worsening heart failure, because he needed to produce the recordings before he gives up the ghost.
David's writing and songs serve the spirit of truth, and are meant to counter divisive partisan political extremism, religious bigotry, and theocratic imposition. His work serves to further the cause of equality, peace, freedom, unity, justice, and fairness.
Note: The song House of Earth was written in 1978 when David was homeless by choice (for spiritual reasons), but it is not a statement against private property. It is against greed and unfairness, and now it's a plea for a new Homestead Act, so that those with little or no financial means may build their own homes.
The CD is available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/nunson2. The CD is titled, We're On Our Way (Second Recording): Independent Songs of Liberation, produced and performed by David J. Nunson.
