your Karma
Loved Ones...Our Divine Parents love us...and made us so they could love us...that is why we are here...and why all this other stuff is also here...to give feedback to our Divine Parents...
If your own child thinks you are "just" there( thinks you do not really care) ....and then they leave and try to make it on their own...and as a result they learn thru experience (hard knocks) that their parents were not "just there" but actually really trying to help their offspring...and your child comes home one day and says...Dad, Mom....I did not fully appreciate you for what you have done for me...I now understand thru my own experiences that you were really doing your best to raise me right...
Wouldn't that make you feel proud...wouldn't it all be worth this whole ordeal...that is how God is....Our Divine Parents does not want you to adore them, they do not want you to fear them...they want you to love yourself and others as we all are brothers and sisters.Mother and Father God respect you...
That is where Karma comes in....the rule is interactions are to be made balanced...so step with purpose...treat yourself and others in a nonjudgemental way... because one way or the other the chickens will always come home to roost.

my uncle Frank...Frank McGee NBC News
Loved ones Mmy uncle was born September 12, 1915 in Ollahoma City and died April 17, 1974. Uncle Frank was a news reporter for NBC beginning in the mid 1950s. He had a great talent for descriptive language giving viewers a word picture of the day's events.
Uncle Frank was a real journalist paying his dues during world war two... when NBC News's Chet Huntley broke the news of John F. Kennedy's assasination, and Uncle Frank was on the phone from Dallas giving an account of this and was on air for 45 hours able to report without a script.
In the early 60's, he was also a news reporter on the NBC radio show Monitor.
In 1970, he was a co-anchor with John Chancellor on NBC Nightly News and in 1971, he moved to The Today Show, replacing Hugh Downs, who'd hosted the show since 1962.
Uncle Frank moved the Today Show into a more serious news presentation.The Vietnam war and president Nixon along with the Bobby Kennedy assisination all were topics of his focus including a white paper identified by Walter Cronkite as turning the tide of the Vietnam War "SAME MUD SAME BLOOD" produced by my Uncle Frank.
He co-hosted the TODAY show with Barbara Walters, but insisted on opening and closing the show by himself. His contract actually said she could not interrupt him.
He remained on the air until April 1974, when he took off because he was suddenly ill. It turned out to be bone cancer, which he succumbed to less then two weeks after his last Today broadcast. He was replaced by another Oklahoma native, Jim Hartz, who co-hosted the show with Walters until 1976.
My Uncle Frank was always honest with me about world issues. While staying with him in Scarsdale New York back in 1967 he provided me with insights on U.S. media. Actually I asked many questions of him as God made me to be a seeker...
Uncle Frank understood the power of the T.V. as a political device...as another possible implement to manage and control individuals...and my uncle Frank indicated to me...that a free news entity...an news service without capitalistic controls insured a free and unbiased news source.....a free and independent news within a free and independent society.
Too bad my uncle was silenced.
