Chapter Two: Dems and the GOP...Will either 'save' us??

This is a shameful chart. All the fuss and hullabaloo is over what to do with our tax money as the Dems and the GOP line up antagonistically for the reasons I talked about in Chpt 1 ... yet I don't hear much --if any--pro or con debate about 'getting the hell out of the middle East and just leave those people alone'...but we keep our troops there under the guise of 'fighting terrorism'... even though it is the single greatest financial drain to our economy. The government isn't even offering ANY excuses. They don't have to. We don't demand any explanations.
When some citizens do rise up against the Corporate Regime, part of the NWO, the puppet masters that control the politicians ... the protesters such as the ones on Wall Street that we hear SO little about... (have you noticed that?) get ignored. Or they are labeled wild, rebels with no real cause, and the word 'anarchist' is applied to them.
Gaining in popularity is the belief that "we can't bring the troops home with our economy the way it is --there are no jobs for them."...and many adopt this as sane, logical thinking. Many people DO know, however, that wars are 'created' to sustain and boost the economy. How sick is that? But we tolerate it.
The U.S. is not a 'productive' nation any longer. We are rightly labeled as a nation of consumers. The majority of all the jobs are either ones that pay minimum wage or the over pd high tech jobs...the white collar workers. Blue collar workers and the middle class are fast becoming an endangered species.
We are now in one big heckava economic mess. So we are told. One has to learn to question everything and all authority.
How did this all happen.? If it happened -- we allowed it to happen. There comes a time we have to stop playing The Blame Game... tempting as it is to do so.
What is 'out there' (manifested) comes from 'in here' (created from within)...
Here is the irony of what I am writing about: even though I avoid getting emotionally involved in politics as best I can, making it easy for others to label me as 'unconcerned.' I always endeavor to remain aware that the more you focus on the problem with negativity and anger...the larger the problem becomes. This is NOT 'pink fluffy stuff'...this is Universal LAW. Everything that we call 'reality' is created by and subjected to--Universal Law. There simply is no separating 'spirituality' from 'every day life.'...although many would like to believe they are separate. Our government and our politicians are an outward reflection of OUR mass conscious beliefs. What is 'out there' always comes from what is 'in here'...from inside our minds and belief systems.
Few seem willing to come out of our media-induced trance state and take a cool, objective view of the damage our religious, educational, societal mores and customs (including the AMA, FDA, etc etc etc) have done--or I should say...what we have _allowed_ by giving our own innate power away. We have done an excellent job of allowing and convincing ourselves that we 'can do nothing' about the war or the economy. And trust me on this one: "voting" is not the grand and final answer...regardless of who is in office. Not if one thinks they themselves do not have to have a change in attitude and assume self-responsibility.
Sadly, what remains as humanity main weakness is: "I'm so afraid of what others might think of me." (especially within one's one grouping) When that becomes one's main concern...it is the beginning of the loss of inner power. We all need to back off, back away from adhering like Super Glue to our particular political party and suspend all of our beliefs for a few moments. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans are going to save you OR the country. The world we as individuals create is the one we will be experiencing. No. Not more 'pink fluff'... it simply is the way it is. Now, I realize that unless you believe that you create your own reality -- by your thoughts and what you focus on and give your attention to and by the power of your Intention ... very little of this will make sense... And I'm not asking anyone to change to 'please me'... But I would much rather claim responsibility for ALL my own messes than be a 'victim' ...and think 'shit happens' --ya know?--and then glorify the name 'survivor.'
Victimhood. Now there is a subject that covers a plethora of all the so called troubles and woes of the world. "It's not my fault." "Nuh-uh...no, no, no, it isn't"... Woe is me." Unfortunately (IMO) western religions have taught us to think "we are nothing, we need help and saving and ALWAYS look OUTSIDE of our weak, lowly selves for help. To believe you have your own 'inner power'...oh my that is sinful! So one can see why so many developed the tendency to have the government take care of them, believe everything that one's OWN political party says, and can be made to jump through hoops of many kinds.
Because we allowed it, we have mass consciously created a mess with 'help' programs in the United States. It started back in 1929, and by now the mess has become monstrous (because of so much angry FOCUS on it) . When I talk about the New World Order -- by definition I am not even blaming THEM... Whoever "They" are, they are simply taking advantage of Easy Pickings. Us! If they are drunk with Power -- guess whose Power it was to begin with?? Guess who created THEM. This is what happens when we allow others to Own Our Minds. BLAME keeps one stuck in a powerless rut. Blame assures us that 'sides' stay in place....so there is as much division and derision as possible. Sides and a strict belief in Right and Wrong prevents unity and Oneness. There does indeed exist a Law of Opposites...however, it was meant to be observed and transcended...NOT 'obeyed.'
I do believe that 'the government' and the powers-that-be purposely created a class of people that became increasingly dependant upon government to 'take care of them.' This should not offend ANYONE that reads this...because I honestly believe everyone of you know exactly what I am talking about. I am _not_ talking about programs designed to benefit people who temporarily were in need of financial assistance, and certainly not talking about people who paid all their working lives (as I did) into Social Security. I don't want to make this into a 'blame' article either upon those who know how to 'play the system'... I know a fair number of people who seem to have 'the system' wrapped around their little fingers. However ... and this may be the moot point... I still believe that "they" -- knowing the frailties of human nature...knew exactly what they were doing and how they could snatch self-respect right out of the minds of people who were, for any number of reasons, already vulnerable. It's one thing to be self-righteous and judgemental and say 'those people shouldn't do that...shame on them...they should 'do the Christian thing' and be honest...they should have more pride and self respect to 'take something they didn't _earn_. How dare they use food stamps to buy ANYTHING but what "I" think is excusable and appropriate. How dare the half-crazed, discarded war vet buy those cigarettes or whiskey to take the edge off his misery.
I'm not saying I love and embrace some of the lifestyles and principles (or lack thereof) that some people live who are the system players, cheats and liars ... but you know what? I would rather my tax dollars go to THEM...then to those horrid wars in the Middle East where we kill and kill and destroy and dismantle in the name of serving "God and Country"; satisfy a craving for POWER, and our 'flawless highsounding ideals' and 'peace' and the so called 'war on terrorism'!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Health Care" in this country is f'd up so badly...why? Because people started in making GODS out of doctors and became worshippers of chemical drugs... totally, once again, giving away or ignoring their own innate power to heal themselves or make use of natural or alternative medicines.... we allowed ourselves to get to the point where 'outside help' became a necessity. I'm not talking popping a Vitamin C to mend a broken leg ... but you KNOW that our 'major diseases' are Big, Corporate Businesses. When ANY kind of 'technology' is placed ahead of 'spirituality'...it will hurt us more than help us. There HAS to be a balance.
The only thing that will solve any of these problems will come down to the individual...and the choices he makes. In someways both the Dems and the GOP are being equally self-righteous. One thinks they are following God's will by fostering self-dependency and the others think they are 'special' because they canb boast "I" care for the poor...look how "I" glow in the dark.
Since I believe in reincarnation (multi times) I believe that people choose what they need to experience. Judge not...or you might choose to incarnate to be like the person you are judging most harshly.
All I am basically saying is: don't get overly attached to party affiliation as being your 'ideal'...YOU are your OWN ideal. Do the good for yourself and others that which is in your heart and soul...because its there... and as in John's song "Imagine" ... keep those beautiful thoughts in your soul and mind...and withdraw from the poison that is being spewed. Look and SEE the dragons...but don't let the Love leave your heart by allowing 'them' to own your mind.
Namaste'

The Rich. The Poor. The Republicans. The Democrats.

I'll confess that I try to avoid politics as must as possible...but it's impossibility to do so completely. Like so many other unpleasantries and even tragedies that take place, they just seem to find their way into your consciousness. Take American politics as a prime example. It has always seemed to me that the main, basic difference between Dems and the GOP has always centered around money...which includes the many varied ideas that are implied as to one's belief systems about money itself. Even as far back as the early '40's, my Dad used to say: The Republicans are for the Rich...and Democrats care for the Poor.

I know I am 'oversimplifying'...but oh well, most claims that either party make are overexaggerated --so it all evens out. This might mainly interest (if anybody! :) those who are not familiar with America's politics. In a nutshell -- the basic party difference: (biiiig nut)... The Republicans (GOP) accuse Democrats (Dems) of just handing out money, giving it away to those who have not 'earned it'. The Dems accuse the GOP of pandering to the rich and protecting all their interests. BOTH sides can come up with enough 'proof' as far as 'statistics' are concerned. So one might say that BOTH are "right" in their accusations. However, there is always more to the story than meets the eye....because BOTH claims are exaggerated....or just plain lied about.

And speaking of 'stories' ...we get many of our ideas and beliefs from (God help us) "the news"...which is all highly monitored by the Powers That Be. So actually we have so little right to draw ANY kind of conclusions concerning so many people, events, and situations beings most of it is based on 'what somebody else says.' So what I am speaking of..does...come from my own observations and deductions.

I grew up surrounded by people who were deeply immersed in "the Protestant work ethic"... which means if you don't EARN it...you don't DESERVE it. This was interpreted as "how you took responsibility for your life." Many people seemed to 'give to the poor' and be 'charitable'... It seemed to me, however, that their motive was "because this is what God expects" rather than because it is something they really wanted to do.

Even though NO ONE in our small Kansas community could actually be called rich... most people never went hungry. Everyone worked because everybody had the opportunity at having a job. Even in the ever-so-Christian community of little Lehigh, Kansas... you still had your 'classes' of people; based on things like who went to church every Sunday, who had to wear second hand clothes, and who smoke or drank. The commonality they all shared was being German. Germans are stubborn, tenacious, and hard-working...and irregardless if they were Lutheran or various brands of Mennonite, they were nearly all self-identified as Republican. Republicans, according to them, were God's people. Strictly believing that the Lord helps those who help themselves. My (adoptive) arrival into this community was somewhat akin to Little Black Sambo being delivered by a disoriented stork! But, I had enough family to accept me--all was 'fairly' well. :)

My Dad was a one of only several Democrats in our little town of 250. Talk about brave! I credit this to his being a Mason and meeting up and being friends with many others from 'the outside world' so he saw and experienced more of what was 'different' in other cultures. My Dad, even then, told me never to believe that those whom we elected to office were necessarily the ones running the country...and that the President was basically a figure head who either got blamed...or credited...for the decisions he made and for 'how the country was doing.' Or how we were TOLD it was doing.

The "Poor" back then, were like 'two kinds'. First, there were the ones you actually knew personally who were having a rough time (and were helped out by the churches or other organizations) ...and the others were actually "The Ones We Had No Idea About." I supposed I shouldn't forget 'the poor starving children in Europe' that we were constantly being reminded of to guilt us into eating everything on our plates. This other kind of "poor" were mainly the blacks, or some of the less accepted European races. The Oriental races pretty well stuck to themselves and could somehow survive in ways that would confound many economists and philosophers. The Native Americans got the rawest deals of all. Governmental 'help' was scarce....but!--growing!

And then!--- being formed for the Future was the purposely created class of 'poor' (or being PC:) "the financially disadvantaged"...Yes, purposely created. Purposely divided in many diversified ways, from 'the rest of society'...an intentional division that would have a real impact on people and their decision to be a Democrat...or...A Republican. And never has it been more outrageously evident as it is in the present time.

STOP Remembering ...and Let Go...

Let's be honest with ourselves -- do we really want to experience a more peaceful, happier world? Do we actually want to live our life choosing to see something good in our fellow humans? Do we truly want to see the eventual good that comes out of any and all situations? Do we want to hold beliefs in our mind and soul that says love is an ever present force waiting for us to simply choose to believe it is there? -- in spite of what may be happening around us?
If we do...then lets STOP "Remembering" and focusing on the tragedies which does absolutely NO GOOD whatsoever...and start shifting our thoughts to all the GOOD things that have happened in life --including our own personal life.
The other day I listened for a few minutes to a radio talk show. The topic was : "Should elementary and middle school aged children be required to watch the filming of the 9-11 tragedy." During the time I listened, only ONE person called in with 'I think its a bad idea'...and of course, Dan Caplis tried to tear this position down.
The motto "Lest We Forget" is one of the worst, one of the most decidedly dangerous ideas that we can harbor if we truly want to believe that we can indeed create a better world. People tend to forget the ultimate truth of "what you resist, persists"... The Lest We Forget and Remember strategies do nothing except keep hatred, resentment, and prejudice very much alive. And yes, 'strategies' they are... Well manipulated by the New World Order to keep us in FEAR.
When people constantly have FEAR instilled into them (listening to the daily news is all it takes) by being continuously reminded about 'what happened when'...constantly emphasizing war and terrorism, it makes it easier to keep citizens of ANY country divided and under control.

The airwaves are now filled with "remembrance" of the 9-11 event...and will continue for several more days. So few people are able to see how their minds are being manipulated. I DO have faith, however, that many more people are starting to truly WAKE UP to all the mind control and manipulation that is taking place....via the media, our so called educational systems, the government's puppets, the AMA, FDA, USDA, religion, entertainment, and the societal customs, rules, laws, and regulations meant to mentally lock one in to 'acceptable behavior.'
I, for one, suspected, from the moment it happened, that 9-11 was an inside job. After all, it enabled us to take control of the Mideast with our grandiose (however false) promises of how we would 'fight terrorism' and 'help' the oppressed and force our ideas of 'freedom' and 'democracy' on people of the Muslim faith (which good Christians just KNOW are the enemies of god)... Wasn't too long ago when "Remember Pearl Harbor" was the outcry... Before that it was Can't Trust the Germans...etc, etc, ad infinity...
Am I being 'disrespectful' towards those who lost their lives during 9-11?? No. I am not intending that at all. But losing one's life in a world-class dramatic event is no better...or worse...to the families who lost loved ones -- then a mother holding a dying child, or the parents of a youth lost in a drive by shooting, or the loss of a friend who died in a car crash, or from a drug overdose, etc etc... It all HURTS the ones left behind. The NWO programmers are USING this event to keep you in the frame of mind whereby they can justify to our fair citizenry whatever war-like action they take-- and we will sigh and say, "well, what can you do...we have to protect our safety and freedom"....or "war is an ugly thing, but there is nothing we can do about it" ... So Johnny or Jill Soldier go to foreign lands and prepare to kill strangers they have never seen...but, after all, it's 'honorable' because its serving 'god and country.' This is the most heart-wrenching thing of all about ANY war ... we all have to keep convincing ourselves that it was a 'good thing' or an 'honorable thing'...so one can live with themselves. If any DARE to disagree, taunts of: "You can shoot off your mouth because I 'fought for your freedom.' !! And therefore it becomes a sacrilege to even question the 'sanctity of war.' (plus, "god is on OUR side"...right?)
I am not condemning the military's ordinary soldiers... the vast majority of whom joined the service because it was a JOB!...Plus, military recruiters are savvy enough to know where to go to recruit: the poorest of the poor...and spout to them about all the benefits they will derive and what an HONOR it will be to serve God and country. The medical and mental health statistics of 'those who served' are devastating...Nearly 70% of all the homeless on the streets are Viet Nam or Gulf War vets.
So mull that over in your mind if you choose to spend time 'remembering.'... Yes, send love to the families, in fact, send love to the WORLD and ALL its inhabitants....not just 'victims' of tragedies.
Whenever I write any of these articles, my readers know that I never discount my own faults and short-comings, or ignore areas I, too, need to Let Go of...I am fully aware of areas in which I need to expand my own thinking. As I wrote this, yes, I did experience feelings of anger and frustration. Even though we are all entitled to our so called 'negative emotions' ... those type of feelings can only be entertained for a period long enough for us to see the contrast between what we believe "is reality" (or what we don't want) --and what we really and truly WANT to experience. We are here to help each other...but not force anything on anyone. Many people have contributed to my own learning, enlightenment, and unfolding.
One of my greatest teachers, Seth, in The Nature of Personal Reality, talked about the need for only one commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Violate." Not by killing or purposely bringing harm and destruction to any person, be it physical or mental well-being in any way. If you are acquainted with the person/people or not! If you agree or disagree with them!... Violate NO one!
All this "Remembering" of the 9-11 event is orchestrated to make the 'remember-ers' sound pious, well-intended, very lofty, and makes us appear the righteous victims. "Remembering" is forwarded as 'doing the right thing' religiously or spiritually, right? Really? Just what DOES it do?! Those that were killed are FINE...they have gone on, swept back into Source's positive loving energy. If one is religious or spiritual you should KNOW that! Why keep beating the drum of sorrow?
If we really want to help ourselves, our fellow man, and our world ... we have got to use what Einstein told us is far more powerful than 'knowledge'...and that is our IMAGINATION. Imagination is the pictures and thoughts we keep in our hearts. It is what materializes for us first on a personal level and then spreads to our world. Remember that we don't all live in 'the same world'... If you are metaphysical, you know what I am talking about. You also know about the Law of Attraction. You don't FIGHT for Peace...
Imagine what it could be like if everyone in our country--yes, let's say on 9-11...would quietly sit in prayer or meditation for a short time, visualizing peace, imagining people accepting and allowing each other to be the way they are, seeing smiles on people's faces, seeing joy in their lives... THAT would have the true potential for changing our world. But for those who would think "Oh let's get real, you know its not going to last" ... the Law of Attraction, working perfectly as it always does, would deliver that, too. It IS DONE UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR BELIEFS. Jesus was not just whistling Dixie when he said that. He wasn't talking rhetorical church dogma...but Universal Divine Law.
Living in ignorance and ignoring what is happening is not what I am advocating... We need to be AWARE of what is happening, take off our rose colored sunglasses, and smell the coffee. THEN and only then can we make true and wise choices. The choice to acknowledge our Self-Empowerment, knowing the NWO will not own our minds, or believe what is being fed to us day in and day out on a subliminal level -- to the out and out blatant lies. That is taking back our power. Our minds. Our Souls.
During every moment we possess the ability to be mindful. Mindful of our thoughts, of our emotions, our actions, and of our intent. Those aspects are what create our world. The energy is becoming stronger and stronger and it is important for us to discern and determine what Our Stand is... To be sovereign unto ourselves and honor the divine love that is within us ... or....to keep 'remembering' all the mistakes and tragedies of the past and NO ONE learns from!... As always, its always, always our Choice.
Namaste'
