AN AMERICAN TRADITION CALLED HALLOWEEN
Colloquially called "TRICK OR TREAT"!
For those born and raised in families elsewhere, Halloween is seen in America as a "celebration" (term used figuratively!) of the "dark side" (slang), of the "Human psyche" (medical jargon)! It's a time where children of all ages put on costumes (which THEY get to choose), and go door to door in their local Neighborhood, saying "Trick or Treat" when the door is answered! They usually say it in delightful, Childish, anticipation!
What do the Children mean when they say this? Well, children know that IF they say it, they will get a treat! I'm not sure if any child knows why this is so, but as an adult I tried to figure out what is meant by that statement!
Trick or treat means:
"Give me a treat or I'll trick you!"
A trick is usually defined as a malicious prank.
How drastic the prank, is up to the person committing it.
Some are "harmless" but wasteful (i.e. toilet papering a tree! Imagine the INDIGNITY the tree must suffer! To be covered with a luxury product made from it's very tissue!)
Some are harmful. (Don't ask me! I don't want to even CONSIDER it!)
In all cases one must wear a costume so that the prankster will NOT be recognized, should someone have the audacity to answer their door and NOT have a treat! (my interpretation-DS)

With that in mind, Let me put on my "costume" and treat you to a "special",

LESSON #! 
 

- A Deaditorial by Drs. Stank'n'Stinker

How do you see Thimballs and Spittoons?
To you are they:

Dungeons and Dragons, or
Starlight and Phantasms?

Do you see LIFE as:

Puss vs. Pleghm?
In vs. Out?
Up vs. Down?
Advertising vs. Cost?
Perceptions vs. Facts?
GOOD vs. BAD?

Do animules LOVE?
Do they have RIGHTS?

Is it a matter of POWER?
Or is it a matter of BILL's?

Or is this all just tew "over the taupe"? (Cackle, Cackle!!!!)

Questions, questions, questions; There's always more questions!  That's the brains job, after all!
It assesses our "reality" to see how we wish to respond.  Who wants to SPIT where it's inappropriate?

But are we LIMITED by that scientific observation? (asks Drs. Stank'n'Stinker!)

Whatever GROUP you belong to, they usually have a written statement of some sort or another.

Everything spelled out just so! Finished! Completed!  


WELL-DONE!
(Cackle, Cackle!)

Before the written word, (hunh? there WAS such a time?), it was word of mouth, or spoken tradition.

This allowed for those powers that wanted to be more powerful to "adjust" the interpretation for their various and sundry needs. 

Anyone shouting back was called a heretic!

Or a kook,
Or a politician,
or any number of names, nice or otherwise!
 

Different groups would (and still do!) step forward and claim that they know, ABSOLUTELY, what that translation MEANT, or WHY that person said that, or DID that!

The net's going to help change this my Friends!

ARE YOU READY??? 
 
Then
 
Take a look! It's there for those who wish to see!
Us? That's all We've ever wanted.
To see the incongruities of Life and Love a little more clearly.

We've gotten OUR WISHES many times over in my lifetime without realizing the one thing my brain COULDN'T perceive. 























You've Just Got To Have Heart!
( 3 ) 
 

If you wish to see more CLEARLY, see the world from your HEART!

REMEMBER WHAT YOU KNEW AS A NEWBORN!

All my life I've wondered why a little part of my "brain" was always carrying a tune of some sort! I once ran into a parked car on my bike because I was daydreaming and singing up a fantastic melody!
Dingy, for sure!

That tune comes from my HEART, my Friends, and my brain never knew it till now, when for once in my life, consciously, I was aware of what my HEART wanted my brain to know and understand.

And what's Halloween about?
You FIGURE IT OUT!

DEATH?
VIOLENCE??
ARMAGEDDON???
REVELATIONS???? 
WHAT UDDER NONSENSE!!!!

Resurrection of dead folks?
They aren't GONE! They are

IN YOUR HEART!
Prophecies?
ASK CHICKEN LITTLE!!!  
ETERNITY?
The way to be eternal is to renew your Love of Life
every moment of every day!
And when you spend that one tiny moment on death, if you renew your Love of Life and this GLORIOUS CREATION CALLED LIFE, you'll be back again as fast as you can FEEL,
Home is where the Heart is! ( 2 )
IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT to BE LOVED or TO DIE! ( 1 )
Spend that moment REMEMBERING LOVE, and you'll
BE,
ETERNALLY !!! 
In OUR humble opinion! 

And Kenny adds:
1. THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS!
I add: (I just seem to HAVE to HAVE the LAST WORD, *LOVE*) 


If THAT don't work, 
2. Consider the opposite thought; see which you would prefer;
3. Choose to think IT instead!=
"RECONCILING THE DIFFERENCES"! 
JUST PLAY!

IT WORKS FOR US! 
IN Love,
Dave (aka Dr.Stank 'N' Kenny (aka Dr. Stinker)
(2)

 

 So what's it going to be?
It's your fantasy!

The next full issue of the Vox Humana will be the WINTER HOLIDAY issue!

If you'd like to submit an article for consideration for that issue, get started on your article! INSTRUCTIONS will be given in a future Vox Update!

The theme is, you guessed it!
Winter Holidays!

Here's a portion of my editorial for that issue:



In Trysting Times, In Deed
Editorial Opinion by Dave Starkovich

What is it about the Winter Holidays? Their antecedents, (the previous celebrations from which they grew), their interpretations, (from primitive to modern information systems) or their reality:

The time FAMILIES gather!


That's it for now! READ the WINTER HOLIDAY ISSUE for the rest! Due sometime in December!
Just a little note:
My Godfather's name was NOEL! His birthday? December 25th! Grin!



Would you like more clues?
GOOD FOR YOU!

Perhaps one final clue!
FOR THE MOMENT!
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!
NOW Cher, and ENJOY THE SHOW!
Now me and my honey, we're going to just relax and be ourselves!
WE'VE BEEN TRAINING ALL OUR LIVES FOR THIS MOMENT BECAUSE WE'VE ALWAY'S KNOWN!
AND WE'VE BEEN SHOWING OURSELVES WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT FOR YEARS!
AND YEARS! etc. back to infinity!
Don't forget, infinity means timelessness! That's from Wjoopi, with OOPS!

Strike two, folks! Next strike and your IN, but you still won't KNOW IT!

AnyTakers?,

Lesson two unfinished! So's Lesson three! But everyone, what a JOY! AND THAT'S MY FINAL LIE!
You all Keep on Lyin! Some's just not READY for it! I sure wasn't! That's why I don't remember all of my dreams, just the good portions! NO, there are NO bad portions of MY dreams! I don't have nightmares ANYMORE!!
Want a CRACKER?
We've been waiting forever for today! We've tried SEVEN times, but
'FIRST CONTACT' has 'FINALLY' BEEN MADE!
SHOUT OR SCREAM, It DOESN'T MATTER!
ALL TAKES CARE OF ALL!
THAT'S the POWER OF LOVE!
AND THANKS WALT!
WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! (Kenny and I that is!)
YOU HEARD ME CORRECTLY!!!!

Added June, 1998: many heard me, most just didn't understand!

First contact with MY HEART! That's YOUR HEART TOO, but you STILL don't see it correctly. We are INDEED one. I've watched the issues of this past year (1998) and just have to wonder: Are people REALLY more interested in where the Presidents penis has been rather than how much we're dicking with the environment?

Glad this Vox Humana part of my life is over, but I will never voluntarily remove such important evidence FROM my HEART!

Read it and understand, I've achieved a great understanding of humanity's place in NATURE, even if you don't believe me.

So much for the net.

I, for once, understand!
