Mankinds Exodus from Slavery {Don’t die wandering in the Desert}

December 31, 2008

Intro:
Below is a two hour video that has the potential to change your life.
Can you see past the symbols of the religions of the world to where they are pointing?
Do you understand the inner teachings of the prophets, from whichever religion you come from?

Introspection:
Look at your life…what does it show?
Not what do you think it shows…but if you are truly open – what do you see?
Is their pain, fear, doubt?

As Yoda said, “Fear Leads to Anger – Anger Leads to Hate – Hate Leads to Suffering”
Yes, the words of a green puppet sound as true as the most famous of prophets from any religion. But you have to be awake and honest to truly see the ‘fruit’ you bear…even if its rotten.

Expanding Consciousness
This video is quite long, and will make many of this A.D.D. society, doped up on its medications, doze in and out, or quit watching it altogether.

Its very easy to think you know where something is going…All I ask is that you watch it with an open mind, as the theme expands and grows…and unlike other videos showing the problem, it gives a pretty good hint at how to start to solve the problem.

In truth, a true revolution, a true exodus of the soul – even as they point out – can only happen in you…first and foremost.

A New Earth:
With this ideology they present, I would highly recommend to get a copy of Eckharts Tolle audio book, “A New Earth”, and listen to it until your mind becomes unwrapped by the hypnosis of this ‘world’…

…a world where poverty and war is the norm – a war in which we blindly follow those ‘above us’ – forgetting the ‘greatest’ will ’serve’.

Without further ado…here is the video – Zeitgiest.

I hope you enjoyed the video.

Jesus for Jews

December 31, 2008

Intro:
Here is the deal.
Muslims and Christians can both discuss Jesus – but its taboo to even look at a copy of the N.T. by a Jew. (orthodox.)

Why?
Wouldnt it help to know what it is the other party believes?
Ah, I know, I know…not for us to concern ourselves with.
(I think its fear that Jews will convert.)

Who owns Jesus?
The Christians dont own Jesus, and Jesus wasnt a Christian, or a Muslim…he was Jewish.
(Though you will see he tried to break people away from labels so they could see past the words to where they are pointing. “The finger pointing to the moon is not the moon.”)

Misunderstanding:
The modern day Christians are largely out of touch with reality as to what Jesus taught, or what Paul taught for that matter, as they dont understand what Jews believe…more than that, they are missing a whole cultural aspect which changes quite a bit from how they perceive things.
note: Paul is the biggest Kabbalist…yes, I know this wont sit well with some…I may blog about this someday.

Your fighting the fight their way…wait, why fight at all?
People in Judaism have fallen pray to arguing with Christians about Jesus…using terms and ideas they made up about him, which typically are far removed from the point.
(If your a Christian, dont take offense, “You will find when you search with all your heart…not within the confines of your own dogmas and fears.”

True, some people have gone as far as becoming rabbis to win people over to the Christian faith. While I understand this, you are acting more like the Pharisees that Jesus condemned. (“Making people twice the son of hell” – for more info on this, I refer you to my blog with the same title.)

The Mystics win out – practicality:
The issue seems to be, that Christianity, Islam, & Judaism are all pretty faulty on the top level. They can all join a zionist club, which wont get them to far…but they have the same ideology at heart. (As I pointed out in my below post…Zionism does not represent the Jewish people…no matter how much they would like it to – its made up of Christians as well…and of course its really secular, as its a political movement.)

The key is really simple.
You have a religion…what do you do with it? What is the point?
It should be obvious – to experience “God”, G-d”, “Allah”, etc.
And so do the Christian mystics, Jewish Kabbalist, and Islamic Sufis.

These guys, that get what the mystical stuff is about, actually can live beside each other without having to prove whose ‘identity’ is ‘right’, while trying to put the other down.
In fact, they realize they are all going to end up at the same goal…and they do.

Its up to you…the answer is in front of you:
I know this is quite heavy for most of you from all sides…this is something you have to find and experience for yourself…no one can tell you. You may ask what Im doing then…well, chatting away for fun. :)

So, the point to all of this is simple.
Im not here to convert Jews to Christianity, or Christians & Muslims to something…
All Im doing is pointing at the truth you have within what you already have.

There is no need to search outside of where you are now, though you can.
But switching religions will not do anything of real benefit to you…
So, grab a N.T., crack it open, and read what Jesus says for himself.

(Trust me, this is not a trick to convert anyone…if Christians would crack the ‘good book’ open for themselves, they may just learn something. But it does take a bit more search on their parts…they need to go to the root of what they believe to understand it a bit more thoroughly. i.e., study Judaism. Quite a bit would surprise them if they truly opened their eyes, hearts, and minds.)

More than meets the eye:
The concept of Reincarnation is in the N.T. as clear as day – but, again, they already know the churchs stance on this, though they dont know much about why these concepts are in there…so they pretend its not. ;)
Also, they think they understand what reincarnation is about, when life – as shown by quantum physics/mechanics – shows that things are much more complex.

I could go into a list of things, but then I would be talking to the Christians, and my bit was to set Jesus free from any label, so others might discover him. (Im sure hes tired of being a mascot for a religion he didnt create…or at least what has ‘finalized’ to represent him. ;)

Peace

p.s.
Typically my writings tend to be geared towards Christians…and some of the things I wrote in here might take them back and put them on the defense.
i.e., “there is not even a hint of reincarnation”, etc.
Well, not in your doctrine, but at least the Orthodox Jews know what Im talking about – “The Jewish concept of Reincarnation”, and if I showed the N.T. reference they wouldnt have to guess twice at its meaning.

So do I believe in Reincarnation? I believe the point, for the most part, is irrelevant – as interesting as it may sound, and as intrigued some of you may be to find out about this who are Christians. We tend to get wrapped up into things, that despite how cool they are, still are not the essential point. (In short we make little deities out of concepts and words.)

Perhaps in the future, I will touch upon these topics, briefly mentioned here, more.
But for now, I wanted to explain, or open my blog up to those who may feel unsure as to where Im coming from – there is no one here expecting you to do anything…I accept you where you are. (Yes, that includes Christians and Muslims… ;) Though I admittedly do not know much about Islam whatsoever, the Sufis are intriguing to say the least.)


“The Axis of Evil” – Iran (Those ‘evil arabs’)

December 30, 2008

Intro:
Iranians are NOT Arabs.
But you know, Americans weak point is their knowledge and understanding of world cultures/history.

Hungary & Budapest(e)
Just the other day I saw that someone wrote in Google Earth that the proper spelling of Budapest is Budapeste, (note the extra ‘e’ at the end.)

Quite typical of an American tourist to see something, misunderstand it, an then try to convince the whole world its understanding of a culture is the ‘right’ and make it ‘fact.’

As a note, Budapeste, (with that extra ‘e’ at the end) means, “from Budapest”.
Its not the proper spelling of the city of Budapest.

Typical American:
But see, that is how Americans usually go about life – they interpret the whole world based upon their own cultural milieu…they impose the rules of their society, language, etc., upon everything and expect it to ‘work’. (Thus comes great misunderstanding and conflict. – And Americans wonder why the world looks at them as if they are stupid.)

In fairness, its not completely their fault.
What the rest of the world does not truly realize is the scale to which Americans are isolated from the world.

See, the rest of the world gets whats left over from Americans…from Hollywood to McDonalds. (And God save us all from the latter poison. Notice how there are no grossly overweight people in Iran? Ironically you will see they dont have a McDonalds. Also, Hungarians a decade ago did not have issues with the strange American gross obesity…but now that McDonalds dots the countryside, I have been amazed at the American gross obesity syndrome that has developed here – and people are clueless…after all, “Its American!”)

note: I had a few years where I was overweight, and a change in what I ate…not how much I ate, dropped the weight back down to normal. Im quite zealous about this issue, only because of where I have been with it – and believe anyone can get back to good health. I have blogged about this elsewhere, so Ill move on. – Just wanted to let people know I am not talking down to them.

So, America is in its own little world – quite different from Euro/Asia, where cultures change dramatically from ’state’ to ’state’. (Country to country.)
Most countries in the world are indeed the size, if not smaller, than the states in America.
Now we understand more how this cultural ’snobbery’/ignorance came about.

Americans, just a hint to you…try to actually study some more about the world and stop watching the latest t.v. reality show for a second, and try to relate to the other human beings on the planet before trusting your president when he labels someone an ‘axis of evil’.

Gaza – a victim of an ‘axis of evil’:
Do you want to see a member of the ‘axis of evil’?
Or more than that, Ill show you a victim? Take a look at Gaza…a victim of an ‘axis of evil.’

“What?!” I can hear many Americans exclaiming.
“You are anti-semitic!”

First, from my “Apple Dictionary”, let us realize that the word Semitic does not relate only to Jews.
Semitic |səˈmitik|
adjective
1 relating to or denoting a family of languages that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and certain ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian, constituting the main subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic family.
2 of or relating to the peoples who speak these languages, esp. Hebrew and Arabic.

Secondly, I have nothing against Jews at all.
(In fact I am a ’student’ of Judaism, as it has a lot to offer, as long as you dont get stuck in the trappings…same can be said with all religions. The light is there…)

Jews against Zionism
However, I do have an issue, as it were, with Zionist government(s).
Its important to note that Zionism is made up of people from various races, cultures, genders, & beliefs.

In short – Zionism is a political movement, and we all know what Jesus thought of political movements…(if not time to pick up that Bible and dust it off.) There is much to be said about this topic alone, and its part of why we are all still in our self imposed prisons.
note: for those who are Jewish reading this, you wont relate to the ‘Jesus’ bit – regardless its good to remember that he was a Jew and to take the time to look at what it was he was really saying…not what the modern Christian church tries to make it say. ;)

So, Zionism is not Jewish, nor does it represent the Jews.
(Though, over the past decades they have tried to play that card… luckily there is a group of Jews trying to put this straight.)

Check out the The Neturei Karta, a group of God fearing Jews who love the Palestinians.

Yep, you heard it right.

So you could say the Zionist are part of an ‘axis of evil’, if one would like to throw out a label.
(Again, read my whole post – if you just gleamed through, read what I said above…Zionism is NOT Jewish! And please visit, again, the Neturei Kartas (‘real’ Jews)site.

Gazas Cage:
Going back, I want to expound upon the logic of Gaza being in need and in a cage.
The land is currently locked by the following:
1) The state of Israel controls:
1a) All the sea borders. They just turned back a boat full of aid from Cyprus.
A video is at that link to view of the boat trying to give aid…quite innocent and real.
1b) All, but one, of the land borders. (Which we will get to the other one next.
1c) The air space is controlled by the state of Israel as well.

2) Egypt controls the other border to gaza, and is not letting aid get through apparently.
Why is this? ‘Arabs’ not helping out other ‘Arabs’?

3) Hamas is not letting things through or out the gate for medical care either. (This is who the state of Israel is supposedly attacking – yet they are turning on their own people!)
note: Ever seen a pic of those ‘overweight’ Hamas leaders?
They sure are not suffering the same fate as those they ‘forcefully’ lead! They dont even live in Gaza…hmmm….

Something is up here, no?
Looks like with the state of Israel, Egypt, & Hamas all in on this that something is foul is at hand. What is it? Who can say clearly at this time, but it is easy to say this…the political scheme of things is NOT how people believe.

People are quite naive and believe what is told them about the structure of world powers, and dont look at the structures and powers themselves. It only requires some observation with an open mind – a mind that doesnt have to feel like it needs immediate answers or understanding – only this way can you start to come out and see the bigger picture of what is happening.

In short, the people of Gaza, the guys that are supposedly throwing rockets at the state of Israel – while having all Sea, Air, and land access blocked…and while eating grass because they are starving – these people represent you and me.

We are the fools for being led by a small minority for centuries, and always looking away at what is happening as a new distraction is made to entertain us while they get by with whatever it is they want to get by with.

Back to Iran:
The leader of Iran is in bed with the leader of the U.S.
“Impossible!” I hear you cry.
Oh really, just look again at the players on stage – look at the history of Iran itself, and the people, to see that something right ain’t going on there. (The best thing is that they dont have the McDonalds…but the control through religion is as pathetic as that of the U.S. control through religion. (You want some stories…I have them -suffice it to say, you may not consider yourself religious, but that was the driving force in politics – regardless of you being aware of it or not – for the past 8 years and more.

Claiming the freedom that is rightfully yours:
So, I mostly have talked about everything else besides Iran.
But it all ties in together. My American brothers and sisters, you must wake up.
The conflict is to get your attention taken away from whats going on, and to divide.

Its high time we reclaim the power that is rightfully ours.
This power is not through struggle, but is internal.
“Know theyself!” Do this, and you will free yourself – and the world around you will start to be free too. (The 100 monkey syndrome – ever heard of it? Same goes here.)

How do you go about doing this?
You start by getting out of the box of fear you live in.
“You will find when you search with ALL your heart! Not in the confines of your own fear and dogma!” Drop your fear, and need to give control over to someone to lead you.

After all, “you will be led by someone down a road you do not want to go.”
I said it at the beginning of Obamas campaign, and Ill say it again, “Change you can believe in” comes only from you…its internal…stop trying to change what is outside to you…isnt this the very reason I stated at the beginning for the problems in the world?

In conclusion:
The ‘gods’ of the Bible were quite jealous…they saw the potential in humanity, shortened their lifespan and dummed them down. Need references? Just read the O.T. yourself – with an open mind, and without the need to feel like you need someone to interpret it for you.
“The spirit is given you” – do you not trust it? ;)

With that, I would like to show you a video of the place the so called ‘Neocons’ would like to bomb, and of which the Iranian leaders look like they are together and setting up a potential scenario for this to happen. (Dont mix the populace with its leaders!)

Enjoy!

Side note:
I see my Norway Sucks video is one of my most popularly viewed videos.
It was never intended to be this way – it is also one of the most misunderstood videos, as people usually go there thinking they know what to expect just by reading the title…yet they dont read what is being said and see past to where the words are pointing.

Words are pointers my friend…do NOT get tied up in them, or you will never see clearly.
They are meant to get you from point to point. :)

Peace, and thanks for reading this blog!

p.s.
Share it, let others read it. We are all brothers and sisters, and all loved by the ultimate creator of all. – Do not be deceived or let someone try to deceive you with cries that are meant to divide as they act the victim. He who screams loudly is trying to get your attention away from what is actually happening. ;)

p.s.s.
To my Christian, Jewish, & Muslim brother and sisters.
All you have to do is go to the depths of your religion – not the crazy ‘kill each other’ extreme – but to the heart of it, the part that wants to experience G-d rather than just intellectually know about G-d.

This is you will know as mysticism.
The mystic of each of these religions can live truly at peace with the other…its only the surface, superficial aspect of each religion which is causing the big mess.

Do you think that God, G-d, Allah, really gives a hoot about half the crap that we think it is concerned about? Fighting over land? Yes, it may have been good all those years ago, and everyone believes in a promise of a future…ah, this is how your controlled…the leaders of your religions dont want you having peace in the only moment you have…now.

After all, if you die now, you aint gonna act or be any different, unless some entity possess you…and that isnt being ‘you’ now is it. Perhaps its time to wake up and see the hypocrisy and lies of those that have led us over these years…time to go internal and be the mystic and experience God for yourself! (And you dont have to climb away to some cave to do that!)

Finding Your Voice

December 19, 2008

Intro:
I called it finding your voice, though its about me finding my own voice.

However, (despite appearances), you and I are much the same, and thus my little musing may awaken something that is already inside of you…that little voice who is either asleep or trying to find a way to express itself. ;)

Fear of…
I will say that as a species, humans must have been bred with Fear.
“Oh, but Im not afraid”, you may say, “I can speak my voice just fine, thank you!”

Its a lot deeper than that.
Many people can “speak their voice” in the face of opposition when its coming from the pre-conditioning they have received from their given milieu.

Infact, Fear is a word which points a lot further than what we initially give it credit for. Fear actually rules the best part of our lives.
From social, business life – to our home and personal lives where no one but us know what thoughts/worries torment us. ;)

Evolution of a species
I suppose its a part of evolution, as it were, of mankind to go through.
Fear is no respecter of race, gender, or religion.

Those that evolve survive…those that don’t, help feed the slave farm.
(Well they are the slaves.)

Our milieus have such an impact on us that we cannot even begin to fathom the extent of “who we are” is no more than a bundle of collective thoughts shoved down our throats…even if its very gently.

Many people will travel through this life and only be a carbon copy of some ‘cheap’ identity that their local milieu has adjusted to them.

Believing in a system that doesn’t work, and going on thinking that all there is to life is to “work & die”.
Now does this even make sense? We spend 70+ years on this planet to be a slave to school indoctrination which leads to a slave job at some workplace…even if it comes with a mercedes as a leash…then to just die off. – Come on, give me a break.

Random
This blog post is random, at least in how many different areas Im trying to subtly touch upon – But, the key to evolving past your milieu, (which leads to much fear driving prejudiced attitudes, etc.), is to “seek with all your heart” as Jesus put it. (In other words…open your minds!

Open your mind means accepting you don’t have the answers to everything, nor do you need to have the answers.

This is a key to finding “your voice”.

Finding my voice
I was raised in a ’strict’ Evangelical, Christian, Zionist, milieu.
You might as well say I was saved at birth. (I know, fundamentalist having a fit at that…lighten up.) :)

My entire life was sincerely about the walking the spiritual path.
I even was a missionary overseas so was my zeal for the cause, as it were.

The difference…I truly wanted answers – not just rituals, or something to pacify me.

“If Im wrong, I want to change”
You will NOT find such a sincere statement from anyone deep into any belief system.

As sincere as I was, I was sure I was right none-the-less.
But I thank God that when the time come, I was truly open.

Out of the comfort zone
Searching with your whole heart means just that.
You have to search out of the confines of your dogma, and think for yourself…not relying on some authority figure to do your homework for you. This is a good way for them to lead you “down paths you do not want to travel”.

I searched all of Christianity for the one thing that united them all.
(Well, I say one, as with all the division, I was wondering what was left to join the different denominations.)

From Mennonite, to Charismatic, to Catholicism…the ONLY thing I found they agreed across the board…so it seemed…was that Jesus was love.

Where is the love?
This is the question I was asking.
The one thing they agree on, and non of them show it…they all are so divided on theology and their lives are so hectic and not worth the pain they inflict on themselves. – if that is Christianity, then who needs it?
People have enough trouble as it is already.

Thomas Merton was one of the first people to ‘wake’ me up in getting me to think outside of the boundaries drawn by fundamental Christianity.

He talked and was friends with Buddhist!
The unthinkable!
And the irony in this – a Christian actually acting like a Christian.

Most Christians, though they don’t even realize it, have a boundary set up between you and them…keeps them safe. They ‘know’ (think they do) who they are, and ‘know’ who you are. (Isn’t this a nice little safe world? Please don’t bust this bubble! lol)

Anyway, from studying Merton & Henri Nouwen (and Im not Catholic by the way) to reaching into the depths of Judaism…to see what started it all. (Oh, with a pit stop at Orthodox Christianity along the way.)

Outside of this, readings of some out of the box stuff like Crowley, (though not much as I find his material a bit of a bore to read…not that my stuff is any better.) And reading material from Buddhist monks and Zen material.

Whoa!!! Hold the horses!
“Aleister Crowley?”, you ask. What does that have to do with your spiritual journey? Hey, reading and searching about beliefs in general to see what light is in all is what its about…and yes, even in the darkness there is light. (the left hand is connected to the right hand, no matter how vigorously they wave at each other in opposition.)

Change…change I can believe in
It was with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle I kind of sat down and finally resonated with. It all made sense…and each time listening was on a deeper level.

Layers of old conditioning being taken off and replaced by ‘truth’.
No dogma, nothing to get between me and ‘God’ as it were.
It was like all of my years of study of the Bible finally made sense.
(And I mean in a life applicable way.)

Im no longer a O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.)
No pills needed. (I will say, that I resonated with what Eckhart said, but that does not mean what he says will work the same with others – everyone has to find their own road, so to speak. What works for one, will not necessarily work for another, as words are pointers…and depending on where we are at, we will take those pointers differently.)

Not who I used to be – overcoming fear – finding your voice
The hardest part was the transition year.
It was about a year of transition.

After a lifetime of search, at one point the ‘god’ I had built up literally was ready to come crashing down.

This is why people do NOT change until they are ready – its built into us for our own mental safety. ;)

I sat there and watched as this ‘false idol’ (God of the Bible, how ‘it’ was taught to me anyway) came crashing down to pieces.

In this time period I felt like I was no longer a Christian…and was a bit confused as how to communicate.

Idol crashing down
After a lifetime of zeal which is unsurpassed, what do you do?
All this knowledge and its built upon a lie? How do you communicate?
Where do you belong? That bold voice not able to cry out – that which was his ally would now potentially view him as an enemy. ;)

After some time, and continual soul searching, it dawned on me…what I now believe, is what Jesus was all about. Its not contradictory to him at all, or even Paul for that matter. (Especially the more you understand about Judaism…at least from a Chassidic perspective.)

Infact, if you had a label, I could say that I was finally ‘born again.’
Better yet, ‘baptized’. I had gone through the water…drowned the ego…and made it to the other side reborn.

My actions, thoughts, were now becoming more consistent with what I used to preach in my ‘old life’, though they would appear on surface as potentially heretical…depending on how things were worded. (As people so attach themselves to words that they easily misunderstand whats being said if its not using their ‘lingo’.)

Lingo
This was the issue.
Now that I was free – how could I communicate to those that I knew ‘had the truth’, but ‘didn’t have it’. (they were dancing around it, but the life just didn’t show the real thing.)

Like Paul said, (paraphrase) “to a greek be a greek, jew a jew, etc., so you may win a few.”

Its true, I know the Christian lingo, and I try to speak on a level where they wont reject the truth, but actually open up more to understanding what truth they already have.

But initially it was strange…because in the same token, my style is more ‘free’ and I like to flow with where Im am at, at the time. (i.e, I want to tell the world about what I found…and it wasn’t something hiding in Christianized words…)

Clarify
Ill have to clarify what Im talking about, as its not just about lingo.

Remember I said the only thing I found amongst organized Christianity is that ‘Jesus is love’ and even then I didn’t really see that in practice. (At one point I saw a faint glimpse of it – which later would be over shadowed by the dogma that ties most people down.)

Well, this is the point – As I said, the Bible took on a new light – everything I ever knew, made clear and more pristine sense…but its not popular with organized religion…if it was, then people would be free and it would not be ‘organized’ anymore. (i.e., used to manipulate people.)

Moving on
So that was part of the dilemma – getting past all the bad doctrine that is leading a majority of ‘Christians’. If you stray far from how they were taught, (note: I did not say from what the Bible teaches…but from what they were told it teaches), you have to be careful. (Sheep rebel…even if they are following a different shepherd than they think they believe.) ;)

So I was faced with, it seemed:
1) Trying to talk within a strict fence – and this is hard, as each denomination has so many ‘no pass’ signs that is meant to keep each other out…that the truth can almost have no chance to enter. (Though as I said, even in darkness shines the light) :)

2) Forget Christians and just talk in general to who would listen about “the good news!” a.k.a. – “the gospel”. But do you hear that? It sounds ‘Christianized’. (After a lifetime in Christianity what do you expect?) :)

So then I realized, I am going to have to face my fear.
Many Christians may view me as an ‘outsider’, and may question if I know anything about the Bible…(having not known me). A blow to an ego that spent a lifetime in the ’service of “God”‘, as it were…but it is as it is.

What I would do is speak how I can…using the words that I know, and the allegories to go along.

So when I talk, I talk to all…who will listen.
The Christian will have many pointers, though I may appear to loose some credibility, (initially), due to my ‘unorthodox’ nature – and ‘non-Christians’ will have to wade through my ‘Christianized allegories’. (Hopefully it will be more entertaining and enlightening then church.

Drop the fear, and realizing your not alone
In a sense, Im doing no different than Thomas Merton, though he stayed within his milieu to be a light…he was one of the first ‘lights’ to guide me out of religion and labels. :)

Everyone has their place they are meant to be.
Me…Im out there, I suppose.
Cant say I will ever have influence on any new budding evangelical Christian…nor anyone for that case. – for you see, we each must ‘work out our own salvation for ourselves.’

We spend far to much time trying to solve other peoples lives.
Reminds me of being a parent. You have kids – and then everyone else wants to tell you how to raise them. (From family, who are sincerely trying to help…to governments who don’t understand home-schooling and think that they can relate to your kid better than you can.) – yes, home-schooling a whole subject on its own. (I have kids in school and home-schooled…yes, I have a few kids that I have been blessed with. :) )

When its all said and done:
But at the end of the day, its not arguments that win people over.
If you win anyone with an argument, then you are doing what Jesus said, “Making twice the son of hell”. I have talked about that on my blog…look it up, there is some good insight into what that means…on a practical level.

What changes people is the thing that is in you, which is in them, and in everything in creation…life…life of the universe, creator, whatever you want to ‘label it’. ;) (much to be said here why Jews reject Jesus as God and how both sides are right, and wrong. Hear the duality in here? That is the key to understanding what Im talking about.) ;)

So if you enjoy this…and you feel that something woke up…its not because Im a clever writer – by any means…(though I would always welcome an ego stroke.) :D

Its because, as God said, “is everywhere”. No one is a sole owner of truth…the truth, by the way, needs no defense…it stands on its own. ;)

Peace

Nationalism, the cause of War.

December 9, 2008

Below is my response to a comment in a forum somewhere on the web. It concerns peoples need to have an ‘identity’.

Loss of Identity
And that is what needs to happen…loss of identity.

The very people who cry for change, do not really want change. The only true change is within and the dropping of attachment to egoic identities.

Think about it…who is “a brit”?
Who is “Hungarian”?

People are soooooooooo mixed, its pathetic.

Turks, Austrians, Russians, etc. overthrew Hungary – the race here is mixed.
Same with other nations.

Time to get over the “Im a this”, and “your a that”.
It is so laughable the seemingly sincerity that comes from the masses for change, when they are the ones trying to stop it because they are afraid of “loss of identity.”

Here are more examples:
“Im black”..are you? A lot of people in the spot light have a nice chunk of white blood as well…why identify with one side over the other?

More so, why choose one races ‘pain body’ over the other?
(i.e., the story of how your ancestors were mistreated and how a certain color or race owes you.) This stuff is old people. Time to grow up.

You know, funny how the God of the old testament regretted making ‘man’ and wiped them out with a flood. It wasnt due to their sin, but their petty squabbling….think about it. He got tired of baby sitting this planet, a bunch of adults wandering in the wilderness complaining for 40 years is a good pointer to how humanity acts as a species altogether. ;)

Reclaim your power
So I invite all of you, to reclaim the power that is your own…quit depending or waiting for someone to do something for you. Live your own life, and let be the others. Things works itself out. Why get caught up in the duality of the moment?

…Oh, its fun…thats why. Life is a stage, and we want to make the best (or worst) of it, just because we can. :lol:

In Conclusion
What I just said, will not change ONE persons mind in the least.
Peoples ways and paths are set…we are just fellow travelers sharing the road for awhile until it forks and we depart from one another.

If you get what is being said, then its something you already knew and it rings true to you. :)

Peace
