(Zero) Liberty Plaza NYC - Zuccotti Park - Ground Zero - World Trade Center NYC

Diagonal view to Ground Zero - World Trade Center

Zero Liberty Plaza NYC – that’s my Address – for the park next to One Liberty Plaza, the corporate capitalist building and diagonal from Ground Zero – World Trade Center, New York, NY.


Lots of confusion to some.  Perhaps only to me.  But before ZLP NYC became Zucchini Park or whatever it was Liberty Plaza Park in the Seventies and Eighties and beyond.

I think its planetary significance and or symbolism at this moment in time makes it synchronistic to both Wall Street, two blocks away, and Ground Zero, diagonal to the Park.  Maybe one day it will be just simply be called People’s Park. 

Whatever.


Liberty Plaza Park, Zuccotti Park, (Zero) Liberty Plaza on the above map is touched by the bottom half of the letters “RES” in “FED RESERVE BANK". The Park is bordered by Trinity Pl/Church St., Liberty Street, Broadway and Cedar Street.

And the river opens for the righteous (5 times) 
Someday 

I was walking with my brother 
And he wondered what's on my mind 
I said what I believe in my soul 
Ain't what I see with my eyes 
And we can't turn our backs this time 
I am a patriot 
And I love my county 
Because my country is all I know 
I want to be with my family 
The people who understand me 
I've got nowhere else to go 

And the river opens for the righteous 
And the river opens for the righteous 
And the river opens for the righteous 
Someday 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jackson+browne/i+am+a+patriot_20068696.html ] 
And I was talking with my sister 
She looked so fine 
I said, "baby, what's on your mind? " 
She said, "i want to run like the lion 
Released from the cages 
Released from the rages 
Burning in my heart tonight" 

And I ain't no communist 
And I ain't no capitalist 
And I ain't no socialist 
And I ain't no imperialist 
And I ain't no democrat 
And I ain't no republican 
I only know one party 
And it is freedom 

I am, I am, I am 
I am a patriot 
And I love my country 
Because my county is all I know 

And the river opens for the righteous

Freedom to Worship - Mosque at WTC


There is a done deal on Park Place in Manhattan. It is a bunch of mid nineteenth century buildings without any grand architectural features to landmark what will eventually be torn down to make way for a multi-storied multi-use building and Islamic community center.

There is a hate element on the right fighting a “mosque” at the World Trade Center. It is not at the world trade center. It will be two blocks from the WTC and with no view of it – blocked by a taller building at 100 Church Street.

The thought occurred to me reading many pros and cons of this secular Islamic community center. One is that in most of Islam, secular is secular. Sacred in a western sense is a different perspective on the situation. The mosque or prayer on rugs in a skyscraper is hardly a cathedral type structure.

God is God. If God demands or needs worship, then a growing segment of the population from Islamic lands and Islamic cultures will be praising God within shouting distance of the old new World Trade Center.

Saint Peter’s is one half a block from the WTC. When this RC pagan style temple was built two centuries ago and approximately two blocks from New York City Hall, it must have been thought to have been an abomination to the English Protestant establishment.  But it got built none the less.  This is America.

America is about free movement and free thought. And freedom to worship.

All these arguments about and against a Mosque at the WTC is useless out of date dross in our modern secular society.
