  • Ramsey Muniz: Christmas in Solitary

    Dear Friends:

    Ramsey and all others in the Beaumont medium institution are still in solitary confinement and there is no way of knowing when this status will change. Please keep them in your prayers. We extend our gratitude to all who have demonstrated continuous love and support for Ramsey and we thank God for their loving hearts.

    “From within this oppressive and cruel imprisonment, our culture, spirituality and history represent the love that has kept me alive with the power of the continuous struggle for my freedom.”

    ************

    I must share that I attempted to play the role of sadness on the night before the coming of my birthday, but our loving spirits, especially our mother, Hilda, grandmother, Rosa, and at the end our father, Dr. Salvador Alvarez, made me feel as if I was truly reborn. We were all laughing, sharing the power and force that God has bestowed upon our lives. They gave me life and love like never before! It is the same love I give to you and we share with mom. Do not be saddened. Just know that your heart and love are within me and nothing nor anyone can ever destroy that because it came from God! Personally, I think that we will be in lockdown for some time, but don’t worry for I only become stronger and most powerful spiritually!

    “We cannot use the Holy Spirit. The spirits is to use us. Through the spirit, God works in His people (Phil. 2:13) But many will not admit to this. They desire to manage themselves. This is why they do not receive the heavenly gift. Only to those who wait humbly upon God – who watch for His guidance and grace is the spirit given. The power of God awaits their demand and reception.

    La Virgen de Guadalupe stated to me one cold night, when I felt lonely and sad, “Hijo mio, are you not in the fold of my garment? Right next to my heart you can feel the cosmic pulse of my spiritual creative power.” Later with such calmness and peace I woke up and stared at the fold of her garment and could feel the peace and love in my heart.”

    ************

    “Cuida a tus suenos, Ramiro, porque no son tuyos. Dios te los presta cada noche para que puedas sonar lo que tu necesites, pero no son tuyos. El dia que te mueras los tienes que regresar tal y come te los prestaron.”

    Since the birth of Jesus Christ, He became a member of our earthly families. He is the son of man, and a brother to every son and daughter on this earth. His spiritual followers are not to feel themselves detached from the perishing world around them. The fallen, the erring, and the sunful Christ’s love embraces, and every deed of kindness done to uplift a fallen soul, every act of mercy is accepted as done to him.

    Even though I’m confined in this cell by myself physically, in reality I’m not alone. The spiritual world is all around me and they make sure that I continue to live with powerful and profound spiritual force that God and His son, Jesus, have bestowed upon my life.

    In one of our conversations with the spirits, I kept asking how I was able to survive three years in the dungeons of Leavenworth all by myself. They all responded, “No, Ramsey, you were never by yourself. God the almighty was determined to prove to you that even in the dark, cold hour of pain, agony, hunger, and suffering, you had and have the spiritual power to overcome.”

    Con amor,

    Ramsey – Tezcatlipoca

    Because we have not finished the beginning of our historical lives and the lives of the oppressed, we refuse to close the chapter on our own story, no matter how intently the borders of finality and certainty may close in around us. Unfinished. Even in the confined darkness we are remembered as making a contribution of freedom, love, and spirituality to the present and to our future.

    Suppose the four dimensions of common sense are embedded within a multidimensional cosmos, then a black hole can emit a photon into the outer dimensions that would be returned to the four dimensions through something that would appear “connected by a spacelike curve.” That’s the claim of a recent paper by Valeri P. Frolov and Shinji Mukohyama, explained at an M.I.T. blog.

  • Isenberg: 'Blessed are the Peace Makers,' Saad is Coming Home

    Hector, Ralph, Saad

    by Ralph Isenberg
    Christmas Day, 2010

    The work to free Hector began months ago when he was first deported. Everything about his case made me think of Saad Nabeel. The challenge for me was to figure out a way to merge what was happening to each of these outstanding young men so that in the end both Hector and Saad are home.

    The project is now half complete and I want to give special thanks to the Texas Civil Rights Review, Reverend Peter Johnson, the Office of the Chief Council of Homeland Security in Phoenix and the District Office of ICE in Phoenix for going the extra mile.

    As I always say in life, “there is right and wrong and then there is the right thing to do”. On this special day I am reminded of the saying “blessed are the peace makers.”

    In a faraway land on the other side of the world sits another young man named Saad Nabeel. Saad Nabeel, like Hector Lopez, is as American as you and me. Saad has his own story to tell. In the next few weeks I will begin to tell his story in that it is time for Saad to come home.

    Today, I am telling Saad to pack his bags. Saad Nabeel, like Hector Lopez, is coming home. Saad turns twenty on January 21, 2011. It is my intention that he will celebrate his birthday on US soil. The question is whether the system will elect to work with Saad and understand what he has been through and the fear that he lives in.

    Saad currently is without a home and has sought temporary safe harbor in yet another country while I work on his case. He is at odds with his parents over religious reasons. Stay tuned for the second chapter of this adventure as it will be as exciting as the first chapter has been. Both chapters will end with “blessed are the peace makers”.

    PORTLAND, Ore. — A former Milwaukie high school student body president who was deported to Mexico was welcomed home Christmas Eve by his family after arriving from a detention facility in Arizona.

    The Oregonian reports that Hector Lopez, 20, was embraced by his mother, Sara Flores, and 15-year-old brother, Luis Lopez, as he stepped off a plane at Portland International Airport.

    His brother gave him an American flag, and his mother told the newspaper that the turkey she bought for Thanksgiving will be roasted for Christmas dinner. . . .
