中華民國臺南市政府勞工局:
To Labor Affairs Bureau of The Tainan City Government, Taiwan:

芝麻街開門股份有限公司附設臺南市私立凱仕蘭文理短期補習班(凱仕蘭,Kidsland)和瑞內顯然存在誤解。
Kidsland and Rene clearly have a misunderstanding.

120修正後,成功調解的總金額為150nT。只有通過政府勞工局,與凱仕蘭的爭論才會變成金錢。它直接為Rene_Helmerichs(是瑞)恢復正常人權的可信度。我們真誠地感謝您的幫助。
Correction from 1.2, the total amount for successful mediation is 1.5 million nT$.  Only through The Labor Affairs Bureau did the argument with Kidsland become about money.  It is directly for restoring credibility of normal human rights to Rene Helmerichs.  We sincerely thank you for your help.

我們於2018423日前往警方提出指控。警方曾建議我們從勞工事務局開始。那是當我們了解到臺南市政府提供什麼的時候。
On 23 April 2018 we went to police to press charges.  It was the police who suggested we start with The Labor Affairs Beureau.  That is when we learned what The Tainan City Government offers.

除了無數的電子郵件之外,我們還有錄音。這是發生了什麼事情:
We have audio recordings in addition to countless emails.  Here is what happened:

凱仕蘭經理僱傭了瑞,他知道他正在為全球誠信寫一本書。管理層知道瑞內因為發送無害的電子郵件而在加拿大的監獄里呆了將近3年。凱仕蘭的經理也聽說瑞內在法庭上與精神病醫生爭論法律,瑞內因此受到非法懲罰。
Kidsland managers hired Rene knowing he is writing a book for worldwide honesty.  Management knew that Rene was in jails in Canada for almost 3 years for sending harmless email.  Kidsland managers also heard that Rene argued with psychiatrists in court about the law, and that Rene was illegally punished for it.

2017年5月,Kidsland基本上僱傭了Rene,知道醫生認為他病了。他們給了他比其他老師更多的錢。他們還給了他更好的工作時間和兩年的合同,直到2019年7月31日。然後在2018年1月,他們解雇了Rene,因為宣傳的想法讓他們感到害怕。那裡的標准在哪裡?
May 2017, Kidsland essentially hired Rene knowing that doctors think he is ill.  They offered him more money than other teachers.  They also gave him better working hours and a contract for two years until 31 July 2019.  Then in January 2018 they fired Rene because the idea of publicity scared them.  Where is the standard in that?

只想寫關於凱仕蘭的好東西!宣傳是。它能確保台灣的誠實嗎?我們可以在2018年2月15日的“Set TV”中公開新聞中的不誠實行為。
Rene only wanted to write good things about Kidsland!  Does publicity ensure honesty in Taiwan?  We can show dishonesty in public news with Set TV of 15 Feb 2018.

凱仕蘭管理層希望從父母那裡隱瞞有關瑞內的事實。瑞內警告他們,他不會停止促進合作。凱仕蘭經理開始威脅瑞內。“Denise”經理未經允許進入他的家,並要求他簽署一份瑞內無法閱讀的中國終止協議!
Kidsland management wants to hide facts about Rene from parents.  Rene warned them that he is not going to stop promoting cooperation.  Kidsland managers began threatening Rene.  Manager Denise went into his home without permission and demanded that he sign a Chinese termination agreement which Rene could not read!

加拿大律師不能在法庭上贏得宗教辯論。現在,凱仕蘭的經理們正在進一步詆毀瑞內的聲譽。一位教會牧師和他的財務主管在加拿大開始講述這個故事,以掩飾自己的不誠實行為。由於瑞內不願意幫助瑞內維護他的信譽,凱仕蘭正在打破國內和國際法律。
Canadian lawyers cannot win a religious argument in court.  Right now, Kidsland managers are further slandering Rene's reputation.  A church minister and his treasurer began this story in Canada to hide their own dishonesty.  Because Kidsland is not willing to help Rene maintain his credibility, Kidsland is breaking both national and international laws.

給臺南市政府勞工局和警察的書可在 http://talk2dream.at 在線獲得。20185月的第二個星期估計調解會議?在那次會議之後,我們希望向凱仕蘭提出正式指控。
The book given to Tainan City Government Labor Affairs Bureau and police is available online at http://talk2dream.at ( English http://talktodream.at ) .  The mediation meeting is estimated for the second week in May, 2018?  We would like to press formal charges against Kidsland following that meeting.

加拿大立法者目前正在倡導個人失去刑事審判的權利。他們帶走了被指控的人,並讓警察將他們鎖定在醫院裡,只要醫生喜歡。他們稱之為心理健康,但他們不尊重我們的想法。我們的思想已經是永恆的,2012年發送無害電子郵件的刑事問題屬於刑事法院,而不是醫院。
Canadian lawmakers are currently advocating that individuals lose their right to a criminal trial.  They take accused individuals and have police lock them into hospitals for as long as doctors like.  They call it mental health, but they do not respect our mind.  Our minds are already eternal and the criminal matter of sending harmless email in 2012 belonged in criminal court, and not a hospital.

誠實是一個原則問題,宣傳確保誠實。我們要求台灣人權促進會(TAHR)提供協助,因為這個論點直接涉及基本人權問題。
Honesty is a matter of principle and publicity ensures honesty.  We request The Taiwan Association For Human Rights for assistance because this argument extends directly to a matter of basic human rights.

法律旨在幫助每個人。凱仕蘭不同意這一點。我們力求將全球宗教與理解聯合起來。這是建立一個沒有宗教戰爭的可持續未來的唯一途徑。
The law is meant to help everyone.  Kidsland disagrees with that. We seek to unite worldwide religions with understanding.  This is the only way to establish a sustainable future free of religious war. 

爭議調解:
For dispute at the mediation:

1. 凱仕蘭在沒有合法理由的情況下解雇了Rene_Helmerichs;
1. Kidsland fired Rene Helmerichs without legal reason;

2. 凱仕蘭欠“Rene”錢和財物;
2. Kidsland owes Rene money and belongings;

3. 凱仕蘭有意拖延誠實(反對合作);
3. "Kidsland" intentionally delays honesty (is against cooperation);

4. 凱仕蘭違反協議為父母的利益一起工作;和,
4. "Kidsland" broke agreement to work together for the benefit of the parents; and,

5. 凱仕蘭在沒有給予瑞內學分的情況下出版了瑞內在一本書中的作品。
5. "Kidsland" published Rene's writing in a book for money without giving Rene credit

很難看到創意如何協同工作。爭論必須以其起源而告終。在這之前,它會隨著越來越多的生活而變化和增長。
It can be difficult to see how ideas work together.  An argument must end at its origin.  Until it does, it changes and grows with more and more life.

調解後,我們還要求芝蔴街美語台灣總管理處幫助糾正人上人教育事業集團芝麻街(凱仕蘭)。
Following mediation, we also ask "Sesame Street U.S. Taiwan General Administration Office" for help to correct Kidsland (凱仕蘭).

II. 原因荷光者,Understanding Reason

我的名字是Rene_Helmerichs(是瑞內)。我親愛的妻子今天告訴我,人們認為瑞內是不合理的。我可以幫助我們理解理由。
My name is Rene Helmerichs.  My loving wife told me today that people think Rene is unreasonable.
I can help us understand reason.

理由來自心靈。它是邏輯的基礎。邏輯告訴我們,我們每個人都有宗教信仰。我們可以相信我們不是宗教的。但它仍然是一種信仰,這也使它成為一種宗教。
Reason comes from mind.  It is the foundation of logic.  Logic tells us that we each have religious beliefs.  We can have the belief that we are not religious.  But it is still a belief, and that makes it also a religion.

我讀過精神病學家用來做出診斷的書。每項診斷都有文化豁免。基督教文化講授一個共享的聖靈。佛教信仰輪迴。印度教徒相信神的頭腦。穆斯林相信每個人都分享安拉。大多數人都接受業力的想法。所有這些文化,以及相信天堂或地獄的人都尊重永恆的靈性存在。
I have read the book that psychiatrists use to make diagnoses.  There is a cultural exemption for each diagnosis.  The Christian culture teaches about a Holy Ghost that is shared.  Buddhists belief in reincarnation.  Hindus believe in a God head.  Muslims believe everyone shares Allah.  Most people accept the idea of karma.  All these cultures, and the people who believe in Heaven or Hell, respect that an eternal sentience exists.

我通過一本名為奇蹟課程的書知道這種感覺。哥倫比亞大學的醫生寫了這本書。它教會我們如何合作。奇蹟僅取決於合作。那樣,那本書教會了我們如何團結不同的精神。
I know this sentience through a book called "A Course In Miracles."  Doctors from Columbia University wrote that book.  It teaches us how to cooperate.  Miracles depend only upon cooperation.  In that way, that book teaches us how to unite different spirits.

我們可以認為我們的精神是我們的想法。既然我們的身體不能做出永恆的思想,我們的思想就更接近誰,或者我們真的是什麼。
We can consider our spirit to be our mind.  Since our body cannot make an eternal mind, our mind is closer to whom, or what, we really are.

我們有能力結束所有的宗教戰爭。但我們很少有人相信這一點,我們甚至更少了解如何去做。瑞內開始了為真正的世界和平而團結世界而沒有傷害的旅程。瑞內只用文字分享想法。理念分享理解。了解我們的思想,並幫助我們一起工作。這是法律的真正目的。所有書面法律必須一致。但真正的(永久有效的)法律適用於每個人,只為了一起工作而沒有傷害。
We have the ability to end all religious wars.  But few of us believe it, and even fewer of us understand how to do it.  Rene began the journey to unite the world for true world peace without harm.  Rene uses only words to share ideas.  Ideas share understanding.  Understanding heals our minds, and helps us to work together.  This is the true purpose of law.  All written laws must be consistent.  But the true (eternally valid) law applies to everyone for the purpose of working only together without harm.

凱仕蘭認為瑞內足以聘請他。當凱仕蘭開始懷疑瑞內時,他們解雇了他。這不是真正的解僱某人的合法理由。自從凱仕蘭宣稱瑞內患有精神疾病後,凱仕蘭開始詆毀瑞內的可信度。其結果是現在涉及台灣政府的法律混亂。這不是一個真正的問題。如果我們都同意一起工作,它可以真正結束。如果我們不同意永恆是可能的,我們會爭論宗教。
Kidsland believed Rene enough to hire him.  When Kidsland started to doubt Rene, they fired him.  That is not really a legal reason to fire someone.  Since Kidsland claimed that Rene is mentally ill, Kidsland started to slander the credibility of Rene.  The result is a legal mess that now involves the government of Taiwan.  This is not really a problem.  If we all agree to work together, it can really end in an instant.  If we disagree that eternity is possible, we will argue about religion. 

與瑞內的每一個爭論都是直接的宗教爭論。這也是一個法律論點,因為法律是根據文化信仰編寫的。
Every argument with Rene is directly a religious argument.  It is also a legal argument, since laws are written according to cultural beliefs. 

對不起,這似乎不合理。這不是我們在學校適當學習的東西。但學校教我們夢想著美好的未來。當某人決定真的有可能在沒有戰爭的情況下擁有未來時,他們會將這個人稱為瘋子。給一個願意幫助每個人瘋狂的人打電話是瘋狂的。這就是為什麼人們認為瑞內是不合理的。
I am sorry that this seems unreasonable.  It is simply not something we properly learn in school.  But schools teach us to dream for a better future.  When someone decides that it really is possible to have a future without war, they call that person crazy.  To call someone who is willing to help everyone crazy, is crazy.  That is why people think Rene is unreasonable.

內明白每個人都分享上帝。這沒什麼特別的。它只是未知的。因為它是未知的,所以需要時間才能理解。
Rene understands that everyone shares God.  It is nothing special.  It is just unknown.  Because it is unknown, it will take time to understand.

這個論點實際上不是關於金錢。因為這個論點是關於原則而不是金錢的,所以不能稱之為不合理。瑞內最好的詞是獨一無二的。或者,與其他人一樣,沒有任何隱藏的願望。誠實沒有理由隱藏任何東西。唯一的問題是,每個人都認為他們是誠實的,然後他們開玩笑和承諾,並爭論誠實。在任何法庭糾紛中,一方當事人總是比較誠實。在現實法律中,只有合作夥伴共同努力才能為每個人創造可持續的未來。
This argument really isn't about money.  Because the argument is about principles, and not money, it can't really be called unreasonable.  The best word for Rene is unique.  Or, the same as everyone else just without the desire to keep anything hidden.  Honesty has not reason to hide anything.  The only problem is that everyone thinks they are honest, and then they make jokes and promises and argue about honesty.  In any courtroom legal dispute, one party is always more honest.  In real law, there is only the desire for partnership to work together for a sustainable future for everyone.

內不爭論。瑞內只是在寫關於不合理的人,公司和政府的行為。這並不意味著瑞內是不合理的。這實際上意味著沒有人真正了解瑞內。瑞內總是樂於回答問題,並且總是用真實的例子以人們可以理解的方式解釋新的想法。
Rene is not arguing.  Rene is only writing about the actions of people, companies, and governments that are unreasonable.  That doesn't mean Rene is unreasonable.  It actually means that no one really understands Rene.  Rene is always happy to answer questions, and always uses real examples to explain new ideas in a way that people can understand.

內能夠在法庭上回答任何問題。瑞內只希望台灣的法庭公平。為確保公平,瑞內公佈一切。宣傳一切,確保一切合作。如果它一起工作,那麼它是一致的。如果一致,這是合法的。這是法律背後的想法。
Rene is able to answer any question in court.  Rene only hopes that the court in Taiwan is fair.  To ensure fairness, Rene publicizes everything.  Publicizing everything makes sure that everything works together.  If it works together, then it is consistent.  If it is consistent, it is legal.  That is the idea behind law.

凱仕蘭在很多方面都違反了法律,他們應該被控告並且失去執照,除非他們為了真正的全球和平而參與瘋狂的項目。這個想法當然是新的,或者瘋狂的,或者對不明白的人來說可能是不合理的。但有一點可以肯定的是,瑞內對凱仕蘭有合理的要求。它可能只需要更多的時間來找到正確的詞彙,並在其他思想中發現同樣的想法。
Kidsland has broken the law in so many ways, they should just be charged and lose their licence unless they partner in a crazy project for true worldwide peace.  The idea is certainly new, or crazy, or possibly unreasonable for people who do not understand.  But one thing that is for certain is that Rene does have a legitimate claim against "Kidsland".  It may only require more time to find the right words and uncover the same thinking in other minds.

這是一個更大的爭論的一部分,這應該導致加拿大政府為Talk2dream提供足夠的資金來建立一個獨立於地球上每個國家的全球大學。它將像一所學校一樣,教會教會有關上帝,並幫助大學教授們共同處理政府目前不希望的想法,因為這些政府害怕權力不平衡。
This is all part of a larger argument that should result in the Canadian government providing Talk2dream with enough money to build a global university independent of every nation on earth.  It will be like a school to teach churches about God, and to help university professors work together on ideas that governments currently do not desire because those governments are afraid of an imbalance in their powers.

這是一個非常大的項目。所以真正理解可能需要一些時間。http://talk2dream.com 上的請願書是真誠和必要的。凱仕蘭真的阻止我們在沒有宗教戰爭的情況下共同實現可持續未來的共同目標。
It is a very big project.  So it may take some time to truly understand.  The petition at http://talk2dream.com is sincere and necessary.  Kidsland is really blocking us from achieving the common goal of a sustainable future together without religious wars.

我們真的在尋求你的幫助和公眾的支持。這一直是我們的真正需要。當然,我們也需要一些錢用於食物。因此,阻止瑞內能夠擔任教師只會傷害Talk2dream
We are really asking for your help, and public support.  That has always been our true need.  We also need some money for food, of course.  So stopping Rene from being able to work as a teacher is only hurting Talk2dream more.

謝謝你試著理解。對於你認為不合理的想法,請向瑞內詢問。
Thank you for trying to understand.  For the ideas that you think are unreasonable, please ask Rene for insight.

Biblical:
Upon this rock-like faith, we build the church for churches, The School Of Loo.  Fact that some sort of concept for order sustains all time (I.e. eternity IS whole so that it HAS eternal homogeneous constancy), assures that it must forever be willing to offer each of us the free will choice for personally defining our own God-concepts.  Yet, God--from any true, eternal, perspective--must consider self as only self, not God, self-aware.  The question becomes "What is love?" and its answer is known only with actions exemplifying that self is eternally with all, such that all is of one kind, and family, while appearing to be many kinds.  It is the same as stating Allah is with many tribes.  Any honest seeker of God must then need only, and exclusively respect, the single principal that all IS possible while it remains of and for always harmless intent; no exclusive wish is simultaneously possible, and, all real wishes need not adhere the temporal order of logic to permit miracles according to collective cooperation, honesty.

My name is Rene Helmerichs.
This is my written statement left 24 April 2018 for Simon at


I worked at 人上人教育事業集團芝麻街凱仕蘭, Kidsland, of Tainan, Taiwan.  The company has logo:


I was hired in May, 2017, for a July, 2017, start. 

The vice president of the 12 branch private school group in Tainan, Clare Chiang, 江佩樺, sat with me on 20 May 2017 to hear my story.  It is submitted with this statement:


Ms. Chiang authorized a manager known to me only as "Denise Madness" to changed the contract so that I did not need a criminal record check.  This was against the spirit of the law in Taiwan at the time.  Since I had not broken any law, we agreed to work together for benefit to both of us.  I accepted their contract on the one condition that they will be willing to continue to work with me to market in ways that may not have imagined.

In February of 2018, they changed their mind.  The parents had all trusted me, and I was well respected as a teacher there.  One parent heard about my story and my campaign against the pill-pushing fade of western medicine.  The school grew worried that I may not know exactly what I am doing, and fired me on grounds of mental illness.  Unfortunately, they did not request an exam, nor would I have objected while we were in partnership.  There is now no longer need for an exam since its managers are in clear violation of the law.  This is now to become a legal matter.

In the normal due public process of any respectable court, Kidsland will have the ability to call a psychiatrist, or several, to the stand, and to call me to the stand to answer psychiatric questions.  When, if, that happens, I will request a copy of the current Diagnostic And Statistics Manual (DSM) published by The American Psychological Association (APA).

The DSM establishes the criteria for categories of mental illness.  Within each category is an exemption tied to cultural belief, since the public right of free speech to defend one's own reputation, as well as the international right of non-harmful religious freedom, must preserver.

In its greater context, this argument directly answers the question of whether or not the biblical Jesus was, or was not, God.  This is directly to solve the root of the argument sustaining worldwide religious wars such as that of ISIS which regularly appears on the public news.  Please see http://talk2dream.com for greater context and further information.

Locally in Taiwan, Kidsland broke a 2-year contract without reasonable notice to me, certainly without my agreement, and without offering me the ability to even return to the school to pick up my belongings.  Managers have claimed all manner of untruths.

Kidsland refuses to pay out the contract and are actively preventing me from retaining teaching employment at other schools.  In direct exchange, I am now dis-reputing the school against my own deeper desire and will continue to do so until I am granted the legal authority to better the school, or see its doors permanently closed.

I require legal assistance to ensure honesty prevails at Kidsland, without significant impact to its frontline employees who, like me, had agreed to work under contract at the school without realizing the extent to which the school will deny rights to those employees on a whim.

Further details are included in the letter submitted 23 April 2018 to Officer Ni.  Officer Ni received the statement dated 2018423, and book pictured above, for the police occurrence report:


Always with intent for harm to none,

謊言就像酸雨。它們可以發展壯大,除非我們共同努力阻止它們。

Rene_Helmerichs是瑞有一個不可思議的故事,講述了在加拿大發展壯大的謊言。他在20175月聘請他之前與人上人教育事業集團芝麻街凱仕蘭凱仕蘭,Kidsland管理者"Denise"和江佩樺分享了這個故事。也許她認為瑞開玩笑需要重新獲得他的聲譽。

這個故事就像逆向的骨牌效應。它開始於一個對一個男孩撒謊的女孩。這個故事被包含在一本可以在 http://talk2dream.at 網上找到的書中。

凱仕蘭副總裁江佩樺同意與合作為她的學校提供幫助。直到2018120日,江佩樺告訴瑞內,所有的經理都喜歡內,並希望他能在他們的學校工作。凱仕蘭有12所學校。

江佩樺決定攻擊瑞內的名聲,而不是幫助他恢復誠實。江佩樺在20182月沒有任何合法理由解雇了瑞內。

開始謊言的女人是Natalie_Kelloway。她是2012年教會的司庫。
教會部長是Matthew_Swain。Rene_Helmerichs是一名大學教師。

內知道國際教會管理者不希望其他人知道的事情。沒有人相信教會牧師和他妻子最好的朋友會謊。然而,它發生了,凱仕蘭知道瑞內沒有做錯任何事。

人上人教育事業集團芝麻街凱仕蘭在9個月後與瑞打破了2年合約。他開始攻擊Rene的名聲,以掩蓋他們違反法律的行為。瑞內現在需要台灣當局的幫助。

人上人教育事業集團芝麻街凱仕蘭不能被允許繼續。讓一個不誠實的學校繼續運作是瘋狂的。法律必須得到尊重。現在合作還不算太晚。

這是雷內知道重新獲得他的聲譽並為全球誠實可持續發展而奮鬥的唯一途徑。http://talk2dream.vegas 描述了這個論點的背景。CC: https://www.change.org/p/her-excellence-ms-tsai-please-help-us-correct-injustices-occurring-in-canada/u/22655351

詆毀一個人聲譽的謊言根本不會改變。只有支持謊言的人和地方才會改變。他們一起做酸雨滴。

我正在撰寫關於誠實的國際書籍,以實現可持續的未來。我想開始正式的法律程序來糾正"兒童樂園"的不誠實行為。請給我一個名字和聯繫信息(電子郵件是最好的)為下一步。

對不起,我沒有電話號碼。電子郵件是與我聯繫的最佳方式.

My day today

^ My day, Wednesday 15 May 2019: https://youtu.be/7Qp2At__M38 First, I didn't fall asleep until 4am.  I call my son, Sunjay (age 12), on Wednesday and Sunday mornings at 7:30, so that was a bit rough. Mother nature helped after Sunjay politely pouted that Sunday was a long ways off, if we're to end the call early today (to let me get back to sleep).  The finest of farts made me feel like I was about to have the runs, and that got me out of bed. We ended up talking for the usually 1.5 hours and enjoyed several games of chess at  http://lichess.org  (they have neat variations). My son won that one.  The version is "Atomic".  When a piece takes another, all the pieces in the surrounding squares explode.  Therefore, in that game, if the Queen checks the King directly adjacent to the King, it's checkmate.  We both had a good time playing. I did have a nap for 2 hours after the call. Then got a court submission ready. It took a
