There are no mysteries in this universe; the only thing that veils REALITY is IGNORANCE. A word of support for those ‘hovering’ in testing times: Despondency and all manner of psychological ills are unable to take root in KNOWLEDGE; awareness annihilates IGNORANCE, the mother of all FEAR.
Today ignorance and fear reign supreme in nations that would advertise the opposite. Yet it is PLAIN to see that nations that pretend to enlightenment, ‘Freedom, Liberty and Democracy,’ are enslaved by FEAR, HATE, DIVISION and VIOLENCE. I refer to the nation that was formed on principles that once made it the bastion of Freedom; however, I regret to say that today that nation has contracted into the most oppressive psychological SLAVERY known to the western world; of course I refer to America.
In the face of overwhelming evidence of criminal activity in the highest offices in the land the world witnesses an entire population PARALYSED, contracting, cowering in FEAR, unable to act – a Godless nation, for if belief was REAL, the Scriptures (all) clearly and ACCURATELY state that fear is cast out by LOVE/God!
Indeed, America today is in reality a Godless, mass murdering, invasive, thieving, rogue nation RULED by greed and the most heinous criminals at large – which I would add, have been EXPOSED on so many occasions I have lost count – BUT nothing has been done in over a DECADE to hold the culpable accountable and RESTORE the nation to its former glory. Instead, we witness, on almost a daily basis, more contractionism and erosion of liberties to the extent that now citizens are subjected to genital groping by unsavoury government employees at airports – I need not describe how submission to such degrading, intrusive forms of ASSAULT engenders subservience and slavery.
But the title of this piece infers a theological element, so I would refer to the Christian narrative that so few people are familiar with these days! The entire narrative of the Gospels is introduced and outlined in the early chapters of Luke, specifically the temptation of Christ; Satan, after failing to trick the protagonist, draws his last card and makes his final offer to Christ; from Luke Chapter 4:
5And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan ...
We are not concerned with how the ‘Devil’ came to be in ownership of ALL temporal power and wealth, we are only concerned with the message, which is CLEAR, the ‘Devil’ rules governments, banks and every other institution of money and power! The message/EXAMPLE of Christ is simple and uncompromising; He turns his back on such things, as did his Eastern counterpart, Gautama Buddha. A very cogent lesson for a nation that worships money and power – I need not labour the point.
All of America’s crimes to date can be reduced to crimes of AVARICE – or the CORPORATE bottom line of PROFIT at any cost!
Does it follow that those who rule the USA would use tactics that define them as servants of ‘dark’ forces? A university degree is not required to understand the obvious, and only a little character is required to avoid denial.
As we are aware, there is no Light without Darkness to define it; all we will ever know of God and the Devil exist within us! As mature adults we should be aware that pigs do not fly and that the laws of nature are inviolate. It would serve the people well to interpret the Christian and other religious narratives as natural not supernatural stories.
A major theme of the Christian narrative is the story of a social reformer; a simple tradesman, outraged by the corruption and inequities of the society in which he lived who sets out to confront the corrupt ruling elite of his day. He cures the ‘blind’ and heals all manner of dis-ease during the course of his journey. A community of like-minded people is formed and the corrupt ruling elite is temporarily overthrown.
Would you care to make that outcome PERMANENT, or would you continue to suffer the consequences of allowing criminals to ply their nefarious, DESTRUCTIVE trade?
The choice, as always, is y/ours.
