Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined; and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. – Jess
Without true accountability, there is no integrity. Those who commit crimes are not criminals, but us who have divided against ourselves and lost our way. We who are divided against ourselves are worthy of compassion, but are unqualified for any sort of true leadership unless we examine our ways with the intention of overcoming ego.
There is a difference between a leader and a boss. Bosses who lord over people with constant threat of being fired are not leaders. They are terrorists. To monetize is to weaponize. We cannot serve both God and money. Jesus said “by their fruits, you will know them.”
We must open our eyes because, frankly, the fruit in this world has become compost. But be of good cheer; because there is a way to overcome this world; and that is why we are here. There is no justice if we do not stand for our founding values.
I pledge allegiance to the UNITED STATES of America ; and to the principles through which it stands: one nation UNDER God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL. It was founded to be a place of refuge from corruption. The Statue of Liberty was given to us by France for enlightening the world. Sounds like she and Jesus have a lot in common.
But God has become an overused word with no meaning to most. In reality, though, God is the power of creation balanced with the power of truth and grace. It is the mighty triumvirate of creation, destruction, and perpetual excellence and beauty.
Unless you are a Native American, you are an immigrant to this territory that was founded for the purpose of releasing itself from the tyranny of the union of church and monarchy.
The Statue of Liberty was given to us by France as a gift for enlightening the world. We need to get our lights shining since hers is apparently dimming to imperception
But back to the history: once gold was discovered in California, that was it. The race was on for wealth instead. There was no more us working together to create a safe haven. Us and Them were born again.
Then the industrial revolution began to snuff out the vision. If we love this country, we must at least take the time to research its history.
Furthermore, marketing itself is subliminal manipulation. That’s why we all think we’re fabulous in stilettos or expensive suits; visual stimulation from advertisers told us that.
Don’t think for one minute that non-independent journalism does not do the same thing. It is time for a united state of awareness; which begins with united awakening; which requires that we learn to look at our circumstances from many perspectives.
This is not a black or white world. As a matter of fact, black and white are really just about the absorption of color. The color is quickly fading in this world that has been miscreated with our fears and misunderstandings.
It’s time to learn to think for ourselves. I had the privilege of attending an excellent preparatory school from grades 6-12 and the first thing they taught us was HOW to learn. But they didn’t teach about unlearning and relearning; also known as revision. Erasing things from history is not revision; it is propaganda.
Failure is a part of learning; its purpose is to teach us where we went wrong. It’s purpose is to help us differentiate the difference between what worked and didn’t work; between what is real and unreal. Unreality is perceived as darkness.
More history: Catholicism fractured because the King didn’t want to follow the rules. Jesus was crucified because the religious elite were threatened by him and Rome didn’t want problems with the Pharisees (their base), so they let the people decide. We all know the outcome of that.
World War II was about stopping Hitler after he decided that the Jews were worms. I watched Schindler’s list the other night. The Nazi officers were up on the hill having a gay party with fine food, wine and atmosphere while the Jews were below in the camps.
The light has gone out of our leaders who can pontificate on the hill while children are in cages and people live on the streets of our cities. It’s time to let Israel take care of itself because THIS is the new Babylon. It is up to US to transform it to the NEW Jerusalem; for WE are the people and we are not ignorant; just educated by lies when we let others tell us the meaning of words.
Time to STAND. Barabbas needs to go home and get the help he needs.
Namaste 💜
