Our intentions are: 1) to seek the truth regardless of where that truth leads us, 2) to seek joy, 3) to seek freedom for ourselves and for each other, 4) to regularly manifest grander and grander expressions of who we choose to be, 5) to always function within the context of the highest good for all concerned in the long-run, 6) to be positive or neutral in our affect upon others, and 7) to inspire others to do likewise.

Our basic context is to create the greatest love, the greatest joy, and the greatest freedom for ourselves and for the greatest number of others. Our context is to be positive or neutral in our effect on ourselves, on others and on our environment.

Our context is to take actions that maximize love, care, and compassion for ourselves and for all others while minimizing the costs in time, money, resources, effort, and physical and emotional pain. Our context is to serve ourselves and our fellow God-Beings to the best of our ability.

Books by Robert (Robin) Coté

How to Eat an Elephant^®-- A Guidebook for Playing the Game Called Life.

This book teaches you how to work smart not hard -- how to create by intention rather than by default -- how to create from joyous expectancy of what you do want and not from fear of getting what you don't want.

The web site address is: http://www.joy101.org/free-book-offer.html

DEV See the book description below ...

An Interview with the Devil^® -- Exposing and Examining the Hidden and Previously Ignored Aspects of the Abortion Controversy. An Interview with “The Devil” is a serious, but light-hearted examination of the anti- abortion war. It offers a perspective on abortion that few people have previously examined.

The overall intention of the book is to expose and to examine the hidden and previously ignored aspects of the abortion controversy -- to speak to the truth about abortion -- to allow the truth to lead to its own conclusions.

Then on the basis of that truth, we can, individually and collectively, decide how to deal with the problem of unwanted pregnancies. An Interview with “The Devil” also points out all the serious ramifications and irreversible consequences that are profoundly affected by our political decisions regarding abortion.

The Book of Timeless Truths and Wisdom^® -- A book of thoughts and ideas from the great men and women of history -- plus many Universal Truths -- plus numerous new ideas, including several previously untapped possibilities -- plus an unusual perspectives on several controversial issues -- plus other ideas that you've probably not yet heard of.

Papa Bear^® -- As part of a Special Forces Team, on October 31, 1972, at 11:30 pm, under the code name Papa Bear^®, Tony Hasboun parachuted into the North Vietnamese jungle. He spent three years there playing a deadly cat and mouse game with the Viet Cong.

Of the dozens of special forces troopers sent behind enemy lines for extended duty, he is the only one who survived and returned to talk about it. His memories were so terrible that for over twenty-five years, this story remained buried in his mind. Only because I am a personal friend of his was I able to bring it to the surface and get him to talk about it.. This is a true Vietnam story I'll guarantee you've never heard before. An excerpt from the book is now available, Papa Bear^®.

Listen^® -- In almost every story where the good guy conquers the evil villain, the good guy simply "out-violences" the opponent with stronger muscles, bigger guns, faster cars, more unique killing gadgets, more powerful explosions and the like. In other words, evil is defeated by a stronger evil.

Almost every villain is a maniacal, egocentric, atheistic lunatic who already has more money than he could spend is 400 lifetimes and yet there he is doing evil for more money, which by the end of the story gets him killed and sent off to hell.

Wouldn't you think that after Eighty years of movies and centuries of novels, that someone could come up with a different way of putting the traditional bad guy out of the evil-pedaling business. Well, in the novel, Listen^® dies just that.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you how that is accomplished until the novel is completely written and accepted by a publisher.

Quotes from the Author

The game of life plays you until you learn to play the game.

In a closed mind, the truth is no match for a good fantasy. In an open mind, even the grandest fantasy is no match for the truth.

Life is filled with significance and meaning, all of which is insignificant and meaningless.

Either I am a lunatic whose ideas will disappear without a trace or a visionary whose vision represents the future of humanity.

Some startling and conflicting conclusions are revealed when viewing “Evolution,” “The Death Penalty,” “Abortion,” and “Human Cloning” from each of the three basic perspectives on life, Atheism, Religious one-life-ism, and Reincarnation. Each belief system offers its own meaning, suggests different implications, and comes to conclusions that directly contradict the other two.

Present public debates regarding “Evolution,” “The Death Penalty,” “Abortion,” and “Human Cloning” ignore the reincarnation possibility and the phenomenal implications that this theory has on the meaning and significance of each of these issues. My job is to expand the public debate of these controversies from two sided arguments to include this third possibility.

FAQ-About the Author

You've never attended seminary training. What gives you the right and the qualifications to call yourself a minister and speak about God?.

Well, first let me assure you that nobody, myself included, speaks about God. We speak about our beliefs about God; we offer speculation, and conjecture about God; and we tell stories that we like to think of as the truth about God, but whatever that unknown and unknowable source is, it's beyond our human understanding. It's beyond our capacity to say anything with certainty. It transcends provability. It's uncertainty to the nth degree. It's the ultimate mystery of life. So I assure you that neither I, nor anybody else, speaks about God. (Readers are invited to view the page titled: Spiritual Awareness° and the page titled: Faith.^° )

I speak not about God, but rather to challenge the hypocrisy, the half-truths, the lies of commission, and the lies of omission that are daily peddled by men who claim to be speaking for God and claim to know what God wants you to do.

From what little I've learned over the years, I see no evidence that "The-Source-of-life-and-the-Universe" is concerned about what I do or don't do. I, like everyone else, appear to be a part of something greater and grander and wiser than I am as human being. The source of my behavior seems to come from an inner knowing of what is right, just, wise, and loving. You may call that, "Knowing what God wants." You could even stretch that to say, "I know what God wants me to do," but for anybody to say that they know what God wants somebody else to do is either foolishness or it's an outright con job.

Religions have created an image of God as a super-human being sitting above the clouds in a place called heaven. And of course God is of the masculine gender. From heaven, He dictates orders, creates miracles, and hires true believers to punish the unfaithful.

And regarding my having missed official seminary training, I say it's been a blessing to have missed being indoctrinated into a closed-minded belief system where students are taught what to think and not how to think. And one other thing, seminary training comes from men and those men come from a lineage that, in all too many cases, is something to be ashamed of^° and not to be proud of.

I've had years to study the messages from numerous religious philosophical teachers and to learn the art of living. After twenty-five years of study and experience, I now feel qualified to wear the title, reverend. If you or anybody else disapproves, I suggest you take the matter up with "God."

In terms of my legal status, that's also an issue of men. I am officially ordained as a minister (a Spiritual and Life Consultant) with a state and federally recognized non-profit church corporation called "The Life Center."
