It's Really All About You. No Excuses.

Focus on Reality.  You Can Only Ever Change You.

The current social and political climate has become violent and toxic.  The fighting and the angry rhetoric have to STOP, folks. It ALL SOLVES NOTHING. Posting defamatory Biden posts, hate Trump posts only says that you're interested in creating constant negative chaos and fear. NO ONE EVER CHANGED THEIR MIND BECAUSE YOU BEAT THEM SENSELESSLY ABOUT THE HEAD AND FACE with angry rage and attacks.

What have you done today to make the world a BETTER PLACE, instead of seeing everyone who disgrees with you as the enemy?

I am FED UP with all the political infighting, especially in Congress. Our most trusted institutions play patty-cake with our lives like 2 year olds on the playground fighting over the next one on the slide.

Violence is violence, no matter what form it takes, and it is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you are posting Hate Memes it is wrong. Hate speech is wrong. If it's violent, then it's NOT a protest.

The POTUS is just as guilty as Nancy Pelosi. Period. NO EXCUSES.

I wake up every day and ask God to Forgive ME. That's right, me. Forgive me when my Ego runs wild. Forgive my past misdeeds. Forgive my short comings. My defects of character. Forgive my inability to forgive myself or others when I am angry, hurt, or scared. I ask for forgiveness when I do stupid things, say stupid things.

And then I ask for help. Because I understand one very basic thing about life. See, it's not about you, it's about ME. How am I going to choose to live in this short space I have here, this life? I cannot change one single person in this world, but with God's help, I can change me, who I am, who I WANT TO BE.

And this has made all the difference, God has given me a peace beyond all understanding, and fortitude to persevere in this tumultuous time. A space to bring love and joy to my elderly father, and peace to my neighbors and friends.

So... I invite you to try something different. Focus on what's wrong with YOU, instead of everybody else. Fix that, and see what's happens. Focus on gratitude, and what's right about the people around you. I guarantee you will make miracles.

Miracles, Truth, and Cultural Narcissism

Cultural Narcissism and Illusion
We must come to understand that fighting and arguing, (especially on FB and social media) about politics (or what have you) is just an addiction born out of the Cultural Narcissism this country suffers from; egos out of control and power struggles that render all parties drained and impotent to find workable solutions to the difficulties we all face. Marinating in confirmation bias only robs us; as we become crystalized in our own limited versions of reality, that is merely a self-created illusion. Worse yet, we become unteachable, incapable of learning from the opposition we so vehemently lash out against.  Confirmation bias is a trick of mind.  The Ego needs to be "right" and so justifies self-deception and lying to ourselves about how true our beliefs actually are.  We believe what we want to believe, see what we want to see, all so we can rationalize the righteousness of our actions.  We create projections about what we believe to be true and create distorted illusions we believe are reality, instead of realizing we merely see portions of a larger truth.

There is more to the story.  Living in the Illusion of Self-Righteous Brawling is a waste of our precious time, something we have so little of.  Real truth lies in the ability to hold both sides of any issue equally balanced in your mind, and see the validity of both sides. True Enlightenment comes when we realize that, "To know, is not to know."  To think and behave as if we are omniscient beings is folly.

Miracles and Truth
From this comes real freedom. The freedom to choose a course of action based on our intuitive and true understanding of any situation; instead of knee jerk reactions founded on "labels" and subconscious conditioning. We understand that things are not what they appear to be and we become open to new possibilities because our perceptions of what we see before us are clear and unclouded by bias. We are free to choose the best possible action for ourselves and how to spend our limited time. We become free to embrace unforeseen potential in a realm of thought unfettered by ego power struggles and the limitations of proving, "I'm right and you're wrong.", which in reality is subjective anyways. In truth, everyone is right and everyone is wrong, according to our individual prejudices and illusions.

Miracles happen when we can suspend our beliefs about what we believe to be " ultimate truth" and arrive to live comfortably in the great unknown for the true source of all understanding. Only then can the "unseen" become "seen"; the unknowable become known, and we are free to see beneath the surface limitations of faulty perceptions to a deeper core of reality.   We intuitively find answers and arrive at solutions we were blind to, yet were so obviously there.
