The Law of One, in short

Consider, if you will, that the universe is infinite. This has yet to be proven or disproven, but we can assure you that there is no end to your selves, your understanding, what you would call your journey of seeking, or your perceptions of the creation.

That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define that infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any referent or meaning. In an Infinite Creator there is only unity. You have seen simple examples of unity. You have seen the prism which shows all colors stemming from the sunlight. This is a simplistic example of unity.

In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity o

Documenting RPD activity near my vehicle
Around noon on December 22, 2014, I saw a Richmond Police Department pull up next to my parked car for at least 20 minutes. I was sitting indoors in front of a large window with a clear line of sight at 1657 W Broad St. My car was parked in the lot for Lowes on Broad St. In case they planted anything, I wanted to document this before I got back in my car.

Kambourian Map showing slave graves, used for Shockoe Ballpark planning, is being misused, says map author!
FROM Elizabeth Dudley Cann Kambourian:
Regarding the Stadium Controversy: It has been brought to my attention that the Slave Trail Commission, and Mayor Jones are citing the so-called "Kambourian Map" as their "evidence" that there are no pertinent slave trading sites within the proposed footprint of the Stadium. Let me make it perfectly clear: the "Kambourian Map" is one I showed to the Slave Trail Commission in the fall of 2000, as an "idea" of what might be located in Shockoe Bottom. Ralph White asked if he could make a copy of it. I agreed based on his assurance that it would not be shared or used. I made it clear that it was a rough preliminary sketch and was not by any means verified information.
In the interim. My map has been used in Slave Trail Publications and god knows what other so called documentation. I have pointed out, many times to various members that the map was not correct, complete or accurate. I refused to allow my map to be used when asked by Mr. White and others.
Assorted mistakes

Letter concerning irregularities in the data backing the Mayor's Shockoe Bottom redevelopment plans
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have continued to read about the project and I have found some problems in the most recent study by Davenport.
Please note their first assumption on page 3 of the report. It reads as follows: "All Non-Ballpark (i.e. Retail, Residential, Hotel, Office, Parking, etc.) improvements will be privately financed by the Developer." Underneath this, they repeat, underline, and emphasize their first assumption: "No allowances have been made with respect to development incentives."
Their second assumption contains the first mistake made in the compilation of their report. They appear to have misunderstood the 2009 ERA report. Davenport's study states:
"In conducting our analysis, Davenport has extrapolated the following assumptions from the original 2009 Era Report:
