Why did John Lennon not were clothes?
Lennon and Yoko Ono appeared in the nude on the Two Virgins album cover as a statement: "You know this Beatle thing you've heard about? This is how I am, really. This is me, naked, with the woman I love." The pair decided to release an album of the tape they had made their first night together, playing with tape loops and random instruments in Lennon's "home studio" at Kenwood. (The cover shots were taken privately later, in Ringo Starr's Montagu Square apartment where they stayed after Lennon moved out of Kenwood.)
Lennon originally wanted to produce an album with Ono, picturing her naked on the cover "because her work is naked - pure and childlike and simple." He did produce albums with and for her in the 1970s, which Apple Records released but didn't bother to promote, and they went largely ignored by the public and blasted by music critics. When the Beatles dissolved their business partnership in the mid-70s, Lennon had to buy the albums back from Apple. Ono re-released them on CD in the 1990s, to belated critical praise.

- What can you do will depend on what exactly you want to change in this world.
- No singular individual or group has the right to determine how or why the world should or should not change. You only have the right to determine what is acceptable to you and to act accordingly ensuring that you do not transgress upon the rights of others in the process. People can choose to support each other with a common set of ideas, beliefs or values but they have absolutely no right to compel others to conform to their ideologies. If everyone respects the rights of others and is not plagued by envy, selfishness and greed then there would be no need for change. If you truly want to change the world you have to start with yourself and those within your circle of positive influence.
- This idea is born out of the conflict between the perceptions of your higher and lower selves with respect to the prevailing circumstances and the dreams. As you evolve and merge with truth you realize that this idea of "change and its nature" is subjective and is born due to developing but not yet developed perceptions. Actually the life (which is beyond time and intelligence) has been pervading and vitalizing us from time immemorial. This energizing or electrifying of our existences is associated with our instincts, emotions, thoughts and our overall passage through time. The life however acts without any claims of credit! Its actions are universal, ubiquitous and impeccable. As a result of ongoing evolution associated with your practice of NAMASMARAN you realize that when human intelligence merges with "this cosmic life" the knowledge of reality, realization and the change in the world manifest simultaneously. In fact; the most just change in the world manifests through your merger with cosmic life (i.e. the nature i.e. God) that enlivens you. Awareness of this leaves nothing else to do but NAMASMARAN. This apparent inaction is combined culmination of most fulfilling and universal thinking, being and manifesting or doing! This is the essence of changing the world!
- It is very difficult to make big changes in the world, but very easy to make small changes. If you pick up a piece of litter from the sidewalk, you have made that sidewalk neater. The sidewalk is part of the world. Change the sidewalk and the world is changed, at least to some tiny degree. Everything that you do causes some change in the world. However, if your objective is to solve major global problems, bring peace to the middle east, stop global warming, feed the hungry, cure HIV, and so forth, those things are much more difficult. The usual strategy would be to join some organization that is working on those problems (whichever problem most concerns you) and then do what you can to support that organization. You may not personally change the world, but you can contribute to that process.
- If I could change the world at this point in my life, I would change the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. Rather than seeing one's own needs as a priority, the focus would be on taking are of their loved ones and those less fortunate. The emphasis would be on common enrichment as opposed to personal enrichment. You know, the golden rule - "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." How is this a change? Because even though there are a lot of people who live this way, just the fact that there are those who don't NEGATE the power of those who do. Until EVERYONE can live this way, there will always be someone who will take advantage of others, lie, cheat, steal to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Those who take more than their share, those who waste when others go without. Those who are never satisfied with seeking satisfaction. Those whose hunger goes unchecked despite their ravenous consumption. Those who take from the commons and don't give back. If I could change the world, we would all work together to the benefit of mankind, and thank God for what He has given us. But that is what is in store for those who are destined for Heaven in the afterlife.
Now there is always Ying and Yang. When in life should I be the opposite, when should I be Intolerant? I believe I should be Intolerant
When someone is being a Bully!
When someone is being abused!
When someone is being gossiped about just to be put down.
When someone is being lazy! But not how you are thinking about lazy. What I mean is socially lazy.
When a person would rather talk to you to find out about another person instead of taking the time to find out about them themselves!
When someone is Intolerant to another person for what they believe in. The definition in the dictionary of a bigot is a person who is intolerant to another and/or their creed, what they believe in.
Or when someone is being selfish!
A good person should speak up because if you only do the first part of just being a good person you are only half a person. What I have also noticed is after I have explained what I have done and what that person has shown about themselves is that they change for the better, treating everyone else better than they did before. Because someone has spoken up, people start to look inward at them selves and at the word they might have used to answer this question. I put this sign in my car. In one word what makes a good person. Overnight people's attitudes changed for the better. The bullying has decreased towards others, there is no more abuse, the gossip is less and the selfishness has slowed down. At the same time though the people that I have proven one or more of the 6 things about them, is they hate me for the rest of their life. But this is OK they have changed for the better for everyone else.
If you happen to know of someone who hates me ask them "what did you prove about yourself to Wayne and did he have to speak up to you".
"What word would you chose to describe a good person."
This is the only thing that I can think of on how to explain why I am so lucky in the things that I do and the things that have happened to me after I have spoken up when someone has been this way. I cannot give any other Explanation. In having the courage to speak out when it is needed.

Earthellism (EHM), the new philosophy of the 21st century,revisits this great question. The answer is to stop using religion as one's philosophy and help find/develop the great philosophy of the 21st century. The Old Testament was written 5000 years ago and the New Testament is close to 2000 years old, and to this day people use these scriptures for modern day advise. The world was still flat and the sun revolved around the earth back at that time and we have advanced as a species to enourmous knowledge. Religion is the foundation of a house but philosphy is the design and furniture of that house. To see politicians pretend to be philosphers is sickening and they should be called what they really are: pseudo-leaders who follow the polls to stay in power. The great true philosophers would be insulted if you called them a politician and they avoided political office. Currently there is no living great philosopher to guide us at this time but hopefully we will find one and do not ever let a politician become our great philosopher.
How did Yoko Ono change John Lennon's life?
They got acquainted over about eighteen months. He and McCartney sponsored one of her art shows, and contributed a score to a book she compiled about modern composers. She sent Lennon postcards about her events and ideas, and sometimes letters. When he was in India, they wrote more regularly, and he began getting up early to collect the mail before his wife saw it. He said later it was while he was away in India that he started thinking about Ono "as a woman, not just an intellectual woman".
After he returned to England, his wife went to Greece with friends, and her husband was in Paris on business, and Ono visited Lennon at his home. They took LSD together, listened to some of his private recordings, and used them to make one of their own. (This came out later, as the "Two Virgins" album.) Lennon realized she was someone "I could really be myself with", and who inspired him like nobody could.
What album contained The Ballad of John and Yoko?
When first released, the song was put out as a single and not as part of a full-length album, with it's B-Side being "Old Brown Shoe".
Later, the song was featured on several compilation albums: Hey Jude, 1967-1970, 1, and Past Masters
Could John Lennon have been saved today?
We will never know for sure. There would have been more songs and records by John Lennon (and different ones from Yoko Ono), and the Beatles may ultimately have worked together again in some way. (A full reunion would likely have never happened; Lennon himself compared the idea to "going back to high school".) Lennon would have continued to speak out about issues he felt strongly about, and have an influence that way on the public. He would also have continued to use developing audio technology in his music.
Lennon's murder was the first high-profile celebrity stalking, and it set a precedent for later ones. Had his killer failed in his attempt, but been caught, the resulting media attention could have discouraged other such people from trying such actions. His success and relatively light punishment (20 years to life in prison, instead of execution or life without the possibility of parole) arguably encouraged later celebrity stalkers.
How old was John Lennon when his parents got divorced?
When John was 4 (1944)
Never. They split during World War II, when Lennon's father Alfred was out of the country; his mother Julia moved in with another man, John "Bobby" Dykins, but never married him. (She also never corrected anyone who called her "Mrs. Dykins".)
Alfred returned after the war, hoping to either reconcile with Julia, or take young John for himself, but was unsuccessful. When Julia died in July 1958, she was still technically married to Alfred.
How much is a Beatles record worth?

What does John Lennon write down on the paper in A Hard Day's Night?
His best line in the 1964 film comedy occurs in the first seven-and-a-half minutes. There's a scene in which the Beatles are traveling by train, and a pompous commuter arrives in their compartment. He offends the Fab Four by closing a window they wanted open and turning off Ringo's radio.
When Beatle John Lennon sasses the commuter, the older man sniffs, "And don't take that tone with me, young man. I fought the war for your sort."
Retorts Ringo, "I'll bet you're sorry you won!"
Later in the movie, an interviewer asks Ringo if he's a mod or a rocker. "I'm a mocker," he replies.
