FINDING   A  REAL   PURPOSE  IN 2010



For about 2,000 years we have chosen voluntarily to be slaves allowing ourselves to be led by the nose by people who neither care about us or want us to have a life. We have done this because human beings have a peculiar tendency to bury their heads in the sand preferring not to think, not to aspire as long as we can just about get by on a pittance. It’s called living in a comfort zone but it’s not at all comfortable as it means giving away our dreams and settling for a life of mediocrity without purpose or passion, a life that is led by advertising, fashion, fads and control and by what others think where we are frightened to have our own opinions.


Well the world is now bankrupt and waiting for God to foreclose and the only way out of the mess without world war three is to reach up, aspire, start thinking for yourself, start finding your own answers and begin the journey to the destiny and purpose that we all have that has no short cuts, no easy answers, is fraught with risk but which will finally make you feel alive and break the cycle of slavery that leads to children repeating this pathetic cycle too.


When you were young you had dreams but you allowed your parents, your teachers and the system to brainwash you that they were unattainable. Why did you do that?


I work as a record producer, write music, poetry, books, paint and a myriad of other things and I am mentor to a small number of highly talented people who prove to me that they truly want a life. They are no different to all of you the difference is that they want to use their life, fulfil their dreams and have a sense that they have a bigger purpose that is larger than them. Finally they have the courage to recognise that they can’t do it alone, have the courage to truly face their demons, think for themselves, are open to my challenging their beliefs values and standards and I can be brutal and they want to evolve.


I urge you all this year of all years to make a decision that you will be brainwashed no more. You will start to figure it out. That you will no longer believe that you can get something for nothing- you can’t. Finally that you will reconnect with your dreams and start to take the risks that you must to achieve them.


Within eighteen months the system will completely fall apart. Those that do not take my advice will find they are jobless and homeless in a world that will have no safety nets any longer as the world will no longer be able to afford to wipe our arses as reality arrives and we realise that money never grew on trees and our big brother was never our friend and protector but lied to us repeatedly to make us feel comfortably numb when all it was ever interested in was getting it’s hands on our money and votes. It was never interested in us.

This review of our music and philosophy was written by a myspace friend. He was not paid to do this although we think the review is so objective we want to if we can persuade him to accept. Please give some encouragement by commenting on what he has said. He is an ordinary guy but I think he has a natural talent as a journalist so please give any honest feedback. We all need help to believe in our potential and reach up towards a better life!
This is his page:-


 
Category: Music

Before I even start this I'd just like to say music reviews are a bit pointless. All reviewers are biased in favour of what they like and don't tend to write reviews with an open mind, heart or ear. Just what they prefer, what the industry tells them to write or what's "in/trendy" at the time. So I think you should vist Working Lunch and make up your own minds after reading this review

I first came across Six Foot Under when I stumbled upon their main Myspace site 'Working Lunch' via a friend's Myspace who's no longer active. I liked the look and content of the site as soon as I saw it! The British flag and a picture of Her Majesty Queen Saxcoberggotha, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd to everyone else, had been defaced! The Prime Minister Gordon Brown had been given the same treatment!

Looks are one thing but did this band have any substance? To answer that question I read their blogs first, as I do with everyone that peaks my interest, reading a profile is all well and good but most of the time a true idea of the person/s intelligence, substance and even character lies in the blog section. I have to say I like what I read! Inside was Jeremy Holtom - founder member of Six Foot Under - challenging people with his thought provoking topics. He believes by taking action against the things that make the world the mess it is, in every day life and having increased awareness of the system, the powers that be and of our own power that we can make a positive change! It wasn't about left, it wasn't about right, just change!

By no means was he under the idea that change would be brought about by peaceful means! He regularly reminds his readers that change will be hard and bloody! But aren't all good things worth fighting for?

So if the blogs were good, I wanted to check out the music. I like his first song called Working Lunch. It's a song about the credit crunch that turned nasty and people wanting their money back. In this song I loved his skit at the British Government. It goes like this:
 "Hello this is the British Govenrment here, we've finally worked out that after 300 years we're completely incompetent. So we've decided to resign, and if anyone would like to come forward who reckons they could do the job better, write, care of the Ministry of Defence. Thank you!"

To be honest the rest left alot to be desired at first. I liked the ideas the lyrics/words convey, they're strong, humourous in places and mostly to the point. But the music just didn't fit the words, it sounded like semi-organised chaos, sometimes the music covered some of the lyrics and you couldn't quite understand what he and the other musicians- there have been almost fifty musicians involved since Six Foot Under started- were singing or saying.

However after speaking to Jeremy one day on Myspace he told me why he makes the music that way. Why some of the lyrics are obscured by the muisc was to bring the music to the front again instead of it being just a back ground accompaniment to the lyrics like it is with most modern music.

So Jeremy challenged me to listen to all of his songs at least three times in the next few weeks and see if I changed my mind as he thinks you have to listen to music a few times before you get to know, like and hear everything in it. I gave it a go, and the music does get better. At first the music didn't take my ear. It's not like most modern music that's made for instant audio gratification! It has more layers and has a DIY feel to it, the same DIY feel most so called Punk bands should have. If you listen long enough it all falls together and is enjoyable. I can't say that for every single song though. "Voodoo Man" I didn't really get, I know it's about going back to nature and there's some humour in there, but it didn't do much for me.

The other thing that I noticed was some of the songs can be 9 mins long or even more. It seemed a chore to listen to them all the way to the end. That's because I've grown up liking mostly short sharp bursts of songs. Anything I listen to that goes over 6 minutes is usually old '80s and '90s Dance or House. But I don't think that's a negative thing, it's just individual preference. 

All in all Six Foot Under have some great ideas, lyrics and sounds! But I would say it needs polishing in places and some slight changes made to the sound. The idea of the music is to get a message of change across to todays instant audio gratification generation and bring the originality back to music. I don't know if getting the message across will be possible with the music that way. But we shall see!

LONELINESS


I haven’t written a new blog for a while and tonight at 4.30 am I woke up and came downstairs to check  into some of our MySpace pages and it came to me to write a blog about loneliness. Firstly because we have all become so consumed by our needs and fears that we don’t notice those that have no one. Secondly because there is a saying that it’s lonely at the top....or the bottom. Thirdly because we feel so paranaiod in an energy taking and soulless world that we find so few people who we can really talk to without fear of judgement or criticism. And finally because  we are all feel more alone and vulnerable than ever.


I am often accused by Michelle, my partner and my very close little group of friends of not showing my vulnerable side. You can hear alot of my despair in my music but I find it difficult to write about because I appear this confident and outspoken guy.


I have been a student of psychology for many years. The scariest moment of my life, in fact the time that I first nearly lost my mind was when I first acknowledged consciously what I’d noticed for years. People close to you were out to get you and people you weren’t close to were also out to get you. It has taken me many years to understand what this means. 


Our vulnerability is destroying us! 


To be as outspoken as I am is not at all comfortable. It makes it harder to sell my music, it makes people think I am a bastard when I not, it makes me enemies who may destroy my life or even try to kill me. My nature is to give and inspire. I want to invite everyone to come and see me and to make their day but as the world is today I can’t. 


People, even the best, have learned to take rather than give. They have learned to outstay their welcome. They have stopped saying thank you, they have been spoiled by years of profligacy, easy money, pampering governments and mollycoddling as never before. So if I am ever to be able to tell people to walk up my drive no matter how famous I become then the first thing I’ve got to do is deal with all the spoiled children of the world and like the best parents when they deal with the wayward and the lost it may get bloody for a while!


When you speak your mind you risk alienating everyone and ending up totally alone but what I figured out is that until you start to tell people what shits they have become you really are alone! When you start to see through it at first the world is terrifying, nightmarish but then you start to get the chinks of real friendships as people begin to realise that you are totally honest, there’s not a bullshitter under the surface, you can be trusted, your outspokenness is good- you tell the fucking truth!


The point is that when you were going round denying the reality and you thought your family were super and your friends were fantastic you weren’t happy. You lived with a fear none of it was real, that you were in Hell and something would come out of the walls and get you!


When you stop bullshitting yourself, you start to speak your mind, you recognise how disgusting, lazy, selfish, babyish, greedy, envious people have become and  you decide one day to have a go at your best friend who’s going on about herself again and you tell to fuck off until she starts to figure out that friendships are about the other person and for the first time you experience the stillness of mind that comes from going for someone over their bullshit there is for the first time a feeling that you are not alone, that something walks with you when you have the courage to tell the truth and that is the day that you know there is a God and that the deepest fear of all is not real at all and then you never feel as lonely again and you realise that Jesus did not die to take away our sins, he died to show us what we must potentially go through to get to whatever you think of as Heaven but I think is the place where dreams come true because the only path to happiness and fulfilment and most of all friendship is a narrow and poorly lit one and not the easy and lazy way we have all fallen into!!

MY TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON THE CRY OF THE EARTH




I have a personal youtube channel!  I am now regularly sitting in front of a camera and sharing my passion and ideas with the world.  If you have an account, please do subscribe to me!



www.youtube.com/jeremyholtom

My last video is a tribute to Edward Woodward, whoI knew for nearly 30 years, even when he was one of the hottest actors in the world, playing The Equaliser.  The video gives some tough advice on how you get to know the rich and famous. You can find it on my page in two parts as "So you Want To Know The Rich And Famous....."


Today there are quite a few exciting things happening...



First of all, my tribute to Michael Jackson, called Cry of the Earth has been mixed in the studio.  

TONIGHT THE VIDEO IS POSTED ON MY CHANNEL!!


And finally, from this Friday there should be lots of adverts being posted in major UK magazines for Working Lunch including a piece by famous magazine Private Eye on us!



So, I hope you are doing well.  Always feel free to say hello.  We appreciate you and your support very much.  Have a great weekend.




Here's the video...

A blog by Sal, Jeremy's pal!

I popped into Jeremy's house today to pick something up, and as soon as I saw Jeremy, I could tell he'd done something exciting.

He invited me into his main room to listen to a track he's been working on... put some headphones on me... and several minutes later when it ended, I sat stunned at the track I'd heard.

I wanted to let you know what is coming, so you could feel some of the excitement that I do!

This new track, which will be worked on in a studio this week, is a tribute to Michael Jackson and a wake up call to the planet.  Inspired by Michael's Earth Song, Jeremy's track is called Cry of the Earth and honestly, the way it starts at the beginning is one of the most beautiful tracks I have ever heard.  When you get to hear it, you will get the similarities, but Jeremy's version has a more powerful and urgent energy about it.  I guess that when Michael wrote his version, there was more time to spare...

So watch out for this track coming to this page in the coming weeks.

OK.  So, I guess if you are reading this, like me, you have woken up somewhat to what a mess the world is in, you've realised that it's going the wrong way, and you care about it. 

If that is the case, I'd like to ask for your help.  Here's a video of Jeremy passionately expressing so much of what I believe we all feel and it is exactly what the song Cry of the Earth is based upon.  I would like to ask you to watch it and then send it on to some of your friends, either on youtube or here on MySpace. 

There's a link to the youtube page at the underneath the video, and there should be a code you can copy at the end of the video to embed it into your own page / blog / comment or bulletin.

As you'll see here, Jeremy has nailed it, and he has the passion and the words to wake a lot of people up if we can all spread this video...!

THE END OF THE HUMAN RACE APPROACHES?....MAYBE!!!....

.. ..

Have you ever considered the fairly obvious strangeness of the fact that we are called the human race? Or have you ever asked yourself why the world of animals is called the animal kingdom? Or asked yourself whether we may be the thickest species on the planet? We are so trapped in our egos and our fears that we have overlooked about the most obvious clue of all.... that there is a God.... that he or she has a sense of humour and that the clues that he or she has left are all over the place and should be obvious to college educated people like us........

.. ..

Well what’s a race? Well something that involves competing till it’s finished when the prizes will be shared out and the winners and losers will get what they deserve. So I suppose the clue is fairly straightforward. Maybe there is a pass point depending on how you run the race and the prize for the winners.... to go onto something better...and for the laggards... well maybe they drop down to the second or third division. So perhaps they lose the ability to communicate or see and come back as say slugs........

.. ..

And it is a coincidence that the Bible talks of the Kingdom Of Heaven so maybe the animals are already there...Maybe when they doze they can watch television programmes because their brains can pick up the signal while those thick humans need a huge idiot box. Perhaps your pet rabbit seems absorbed because he can pick up music from the music of the spheres where inspiration comes from and he doesn’t need an ipod. Perhaps they communicate through telepathy which may be why a flock of birds can do things that put our best dancers to shame... perhaps their barks and meows are  simply to get the attention of the idiots- humans!!....

.. ..

I believe the race is near it’s end. I believe that the last part of the race depends on most of us and we can choose to win or lose. If we stand up and follow our hearts and what we believe then we can turn this world into utopia or Heaven. If we stay asleep and in a selfish little dreamworld then it will  end in tears or we’ll create Hell. The choice is ours. Superman won’t fix the world. We must!!....

.. ..

Working Lunch is a humerous little morality tale about turning adversity into a dream. The Crappy Christmas Song which we have uploaded today and will be available to buy soon is about leaving your dreamworld to avoid ending up in a nightmare. Having a dream and aiming to achieve it is good and a recipe for a worthwhile and inspiring life. Live in a dreamworld and you are a fool as sooner or later reality will catch you and you have never taken control of your life. You deserve whatever you get as living in a dreamworld is not the way to a dream but to a nightmare sooner or later.....

.. ..

Finally as an example of confused motives and sheer stupidity consider the damage that U2 have done to their credibility by playing a concert in Germany to celebrate the end of the Berlin Wall twenty years ago tonight and they have surrounded their venue in front of the Brandenberg Gate with a six foot wall. ....

.. ..

How thick and what an insult  to the people who lived under the shadow of that wall for more than a quarter of a century. Surely U2 have made enough money to do one free concert that is genuinely about freedom rather than some grand gesture to save the third world.....

.. ..

Here are the lyrics to the final version of At The Dawn Of Time that are profound and deep and maybe  about the run  up to the finishing line in the human race:-....

.. ..

.. ..

AT THE DAWN OF TIME....

.. ..

VERSE ONE....

.. ..

At the dawn of time there were no people,....

The world had just ended and there was nothing to see through,....

All was dust and ashes and cloud,....

A cycle had run for the time allowed,....

All had returned to the source of it all,....

The best had moved on and were having a ball,....

The dark one’s waited for the clock to start,....

Moving to a state where they had no heart,....

As the Time Lords worked behind the scenes,....

The evil one’s nightmares turned to screams....

.. ..

CHORUS....

.. ..

At this dawning of time a new world is born,....

A world of true love like gold summer corn,....

For millennia now we have been feeling our way,....

Living in fear of the great Judgement Day....

.. ..

VERSE TWO....

.. ..

At the first dawn of time we came as cells,....

At the second with our karma in the life we held,....

The good souls to work for a higher plane,....

The dark one’s learned from their remains,....

For the deeds you did when you were last here,....

Decide if you’re goin’ up or it all ends in tears,....

For none escape from their past actions,....

And there’s no use in claiming that you had distractions,....

For the all seeing eye is deep in our hearts,....

It sees all your motives right from the start.....

.. ..

CHORUS....

.. ..

VERSE THREE....

.. ..

The dawn of time passed six times before,....

From the second preceded by famine and wars,....

This time is different to those earlier times,....

For the cycles are over and the good souls shall shine,....

For now at last arriving at those golden gates,....

We all have now reached this special judgement date,....

So it’s time to sort out the wheat from the chaff,....

And to reward the one’s who chose the right path,....

The dark one’s will find that they’re gone for ever,....

Barred by the Angels from the road to Heaven,....

For it was the dark angel who whispered deep in their ears,....

Drawing them to money and  suppressing their fears....

.. ..

CHORUS....

.. ..

VERSE FOUR

At this dawning of time a new world is born,....

A world of true love like gold summer corn,....

For millennia now we’ve been feeling our way,....

Living in fear of the great judgement day,....

The dark one’s just chased their own rewards,....

At last they are caught by the Archangel’s sword,....

And those pure one’s in heart at last have their own way,....

For the desire of their souls was not just their own pay,....

They lived for us all and not just for themselves,....

Knowing that other roads would lead straight to Hell,....

So now at last enjoy this Brave New World,....

Knowing that at last even some dark one’s have turned.....

.. ..

FINAL CHORUS REPEATED TO THE END....

.. ..

.. ..

Jeremy Holtom....

WE ARE BLIND TO THE OBVIOUS


In Dan Brown’s book the Da Vinci Code, Brown reveals that in the painting The Last Supper by Da Vinci, Mary Magdalene is sitting at the side of Jesus Christ as if she was his wife. Anyone googling The Last Supper can see that Dan Brown is correct. 


What is surprising is not that Dan Brown saw this and turned it into a huge best seller but the fact that for five hundred years no one else has seen it’s huge significance probably because as the most stupid species on the planet we see what we want to see and not what we should see. This fact was not seen by all the scholars and professors in the last five hundred years, or the church or the inquisition who would have burned Da Vinci for the heresy of suggesting that Christ was married.


My regular blog readers will have read a blog a while ago when I picked up the striking similarity in the building in The Last Supper and Hitler’s office.


When  all our experts cannot see the obvious can we possibly believe anything they tell us whether it be that smoking causes cancer or we are responsible for global warming if it even exists.


Other’s of you will have seen our gallery of look alike pictures. We started this as a bit of fun but the pictures we have been comparing have got  more and more spooky as we have been comparing people recently that look a lot like someone in the recent or distant past and as that has happened the views have dropped and so have the comments as though people are afraid of what they have seen or may see.


One of those pictures is incredibly spooky as it shows a picture of the composer of the opera La Boheme, Puccini, in 1909 with the composer of that most operatic of tracks, Bohemian Rhapsody,  Freddy Mercury. You would need to have no brain in order not to see that the pictures are interchangeable in a way that cannot be coincidence.


This evening I decided to google “ Freddy Mercury as reincarnation of Puccini”. Now an awful lot of references mentioned opera and Puccini indeed one review said words to the effect that “ the highly operatic Freddy Mercury was more Gilbert and Sullivan than Puccini” with which I would strongly disagree as Freddy’s music has alot in common with Puccini.


I even found a youtube video of Freddy Mercury singing with a top opera singer like an opera singer! .


Through all the references to Puccini wound up with Freddy Mercury I did not find a single one suggesting that Freddy Mercury might be the reincarnation of Puccini. I did however find another extraordinary coincidence that is so improbable that it can’t be coincidence either and that it is that Puccini and Freddy Mercury share the same date of death, Puccini on 24th November 1924 and Freddy Mercury 24th November 1991.




Now you may say this is all fascinating but it seems to me that we are living in a universe of enormous size and complexity and that it is very unlikely we are here for no reason. It seems that there are clues to the nature of the Game Of Life all around us. We surely would be wise to let them into our consciousness and pay attention as everything from the Bible to the extinction of the dinosaurs suggests that if we keep our head’s in the sand scary things may come and get us. 


I believe that life is about realising our full potential and becoming a creative channel for the voice of the soul of the universe. It seems to me most of us do this badly as we either deny the message or corrupt it in the name of money when what usually produces the money and all the other things that we dream of is being the most faithful channel we can be.


Cheryl Cole’s vacuous new single is called Fight For This Love and naturally does not challenge in any way at all and contributes very little to the understanding of The Game Of Life. I just know in my bones that the song that started coming through her brain or that of whoever wrote the song  was called Fight For This World which we all need to start to do but that Miss Cole’s brain corrupted it into the tacky little song I heard.


Assuming there is a God or a higher power overseeing this world I don’t suppose it will be impressed with Cheryl Cole editing it’s message and I don’t expect it will be impressed that we chose to ignore or deny the clues because as every good lawyer will know ignorance of the law is no defence!! 


If there was the remotest chance of a higher power at work in this world ( I believe that that chance is far from remote) that could conceivably exist in the energy of nature or the universe I think it would be wise to figure out what we are here to do as that power might be able to do something insignificant to us for starters like shoving us in a black hole if we pissed it off!

COINCIDENCES   OR  KARMA?

 

Tonight I watched the film Jaws on television which I haven’t watched for years and I was struck almost from the start by an impression that this film is entirely about the workings of karma in relation to those things we do not challenge or stand up to or what is called in the religions of the world, sins of omission which are often assumed to be less serious in some odd way than what are often known as sins of commission.

 

It is customary in this sad and gutless world of ours to blame God for the ills of the world as though god is somehow supposed to come and straighten out the world for us. Those that blame God are just as likely to be those who express the idea that there is no God but still find it convenient to blame him or it or her.

 

Of course if we aren’t blaming God then it’s the Government, or the police, or terrorists, or criminals. In fact it’s always anyone but us.

 

I have always noticed apparent coincidences throughout my life but unlike most people I haven’t rationalised them away, I’ve tried to figure out what they tell me about the rules of The Game Of Life.

 

It is said we create our own reality. Well that ‘s true in one sense but we create that reality by what we do do in the world but far more we create our own reality because of what we don’t do.

 

This world is the way it is because most people do absolutely nothing to  make it better in their entire lives, care only about themselves and do  not lend any meaningful support to those who have the power and influence to truly change things.

 

I believe that there are terrifying forces building up within this world created entirely because of our own indifference and callousness and that unless we begin to work together as never before catastrophic consequences will befall this world and within a few years.

 

I am not a fatalist and I believe that we can turn this world around but only if enough of us start to really care, start to think for ourselves and start to focus on the wider world which is about far more fundamental things than the environment or whether we should smoke or not or any other bullshit which I believe is calculated to divert our attention  off the real problem- those who manipulate this world for their own ends.

 

I am not a conspiracy theorist but the more I dig the more convinced I am that the secret societies  and organisations of the world are pulling all of our strings and manipulating the way we think and that they must be dealt with.

 

Let me pose a few karmic questions which have occurred to me since watching Jaws and from a small amount of research I have done this evening since.

 

1.                In Jaws Quint, the old  sea dog who goes after the shark reveals that he was on the USS Indeanapolis in the war and that it was sunk in twelve minutes and most of the crew were killed by sharks.

 

2.              The above is factually accurate as was the fact that it carried parts for the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.

 

3.               It is also factually accurate that this was the worst loss of life in American Naval history and the worst loss of life due to sharks in history.

 

4.              Now that’s a karmic coincidence of Biblical proportions isn’t it? All those little soldiers following orders and not thinking about or caring about what they do deliver parts for the most devasting bomb in history that kills 140,000 in a few minutes and they end up in possibly the most horrific naval catastrophe in history

 

 

5.               Now  let’s consider the fact that The Indianapolis first set out from Guantanimo Bay which has apparently been an American Naval Base  since before the second world war and has been notorious in recent years as the place where the 9/11 bomb suspects have been treated mighty finely by the land of the free despite it’s being in Cuba, America’s hated enemy and you find yourself asking what sort of karma was involved in the world trade centre disaster and has it been following America since the Indianapolis was launched. After all the world trade centre was the world centre for the tearing up of the planet in the name of money and the people who worked in it were just doing their jobs very much like the sailors delivering the atomic bomb!

 

Obviously I am implying some extremely controversial things but in America, a  country heavily involved with Christianity it seems that it would be wise to look a little closer at what triggered the forces that were unleashed in the Old Testament and generally attributed to God that wiped out civilisations and laid waste to large areas and that were never formally cancelled by Christ in the New Testament. It might also be wise indeed to reflect on the way those forces are strongly suggested in films like The Omen and Final Destination.

 

Of course I could just be a nutter or is everyone else!!

 

Of course these ideas are scary and it may seems easier to go to another party and get pissed or get stoned on the latest drug or blow some more money you haven’t got on the latest credit card but it’s worth remembering that putting your head back in the sand doesn’t deal with the problem and when the thing your scared of arrives it’s even scarier  then as you were in denial and that it won’t go away so face your fears and start standing up for what you know in your hears to be right!!

WORKING LUNCH PROGRESS UPDATE


The message encompassed in the working lunch single is starting to get out there and next week Jeremy will be interviewed for articles in the uk national newspaper the sun and the worldwide satirical magazine started by the late genius comedian, peter cook, private eye.

As you all will know we aim to bring the passion, rebellion, purpose and originality back to music and to fight to create a world that is based on sense, fun, spontanaity, individuality and personal responsibility. Your support not just in words and comments but in buying the music is vital if Jeremy is to gain a big enough profile to change this fucked up world before we all begin to kill each other in the streets.


Jeremy will this evening be placing a blog on his personal page:


MySpace.com/jeremyholtom


Which is advertising a youtube video of a conversation between Jeremy and a company offering to write off debts. It’s profound and amusing and it makes you think about how it is the opportunistic behaviour of us all whether it be downloading music that others have paid to create for nothing or writing off loans that we have taken and agreed to pay back because we can because of a technicality of the law despite knowing that we owe the money THAT IS REALLY FUCKING UP THE WORLD.


The kind of behaviour which we daily exhibit is eating us up inside and destroying our hearts AND SOULS and our future. It’s no good blaming bankers if we take every opportunity to do the same as them. To hold our heads high, gain a life and save the world we all need to examine our daily behaviour and do what’s right rather than what seems ok at the time.


Please watch the video through the link on the page and let us know what you think.

It is not ok to do things because we can it is ok only to do what’s right!!
