Beautiful Blasphemies … (08/10/13)
We have been raised & conditioned to believe a lot of lies; myths that are plundering our planet, collapsing our countries, razing our relationships and shackling our Souls. And yet Freedom from these falsehoods stands just outside their cage — and that liberation starts with us recognizing the untruths that have locked us up for far too long.
With that in mind, I offer the following tidbits of TRUTH …
*01) Animals are NOT “stupid”, certainly not stupid enough to justify us humans needlessly killing them for sport, sustenance or science. All beings with eyes, brains &/or hearts are as sentient as you & I, and have just as much a right to live a naturally long & happy life as you do … period.
*02) Politics is NOT the answer to any societal wrong or cultural challenge. Contrary to popular belief, Democrats (and other “liberals” the world over) are not interested in helping the poor. Contrary to popular belief, Republicans (and “conservatives” the world over) are NOT interested in “preserving democracy” or “increasing prosperity”. No, politicians are primarily interested in two things: their own pocketbooks & their own power. It has been this way from the beginning, and it will be this way until the end. They are not bad people per se; they are simply lost in the warped system of their own making.
*03) Religion is NOT a relationship with God and it does not adhere to or encourage the “Will of God”. Religion is a relationship with one’s church — a man-made institution, one that more often than not adheres to & encourages man-made dogma to further man-made desires.
*04) Most importantly of all, you are NOT powerless to change the way things are — you are NOT too weak to set yourself free, and to free your families & your neighborhoods & indeed your entire nation along with you.
You CAN set your conscience free by choosing to respect all sentient life forms as if they were as important as yourself — for indeed, they are.
You CAN set your communities free by gently ignoring your politicians & your politics, and investing instead in doing for each other what those “leaders” should have long ago already done.
You CAN set your Soul free by setting your religion aside to rediscover the portion of the Divine that already resides within you; to remember the too-long-forgotten Truth that God (by any name) is literally LOVE unconditional; to walk out into life anew, hand-in-hand with God, by acting accordingly.
This is bold stuff, to be sure, and these are certainly thoughts that most of you would rather not entertain. It is indeed terrifying to let go of the indoctrinations & the propagandas & the manipulations that have been shoved down our brains since childhood — to set those lies aside in favor of the Truths we have all known since birth, but have steadily repressed thereafter.
And yet the only way to be truly Happy is to demand a reunion with the Brave & Caring person You truly are … The only way to be truly Free is to demand your Freedom … And the only way to ensure that those demands are heard is to courageously fulfill them yourself.
Jailbreaks, after all, are not for the faint of Heart …
… and neither is your Truth.
