It's been said, "when humanity saw it's reflection in the mirror, they began to lose their thoughts about their soul."

Perhaps that loss became our obcession with expressing who we are and language has limited and strayed us further and further from deep introspection, until these days of thirst and hunger for self-knowledge.

My Grand Mother's parents were Native Americans so, I know how civilization has been more like evilization to both Native and African Americans.

Except for these two cultures, American's lifestyles have been chosen, not forced.

A dialog about how this happened, in the context of forgiving our ancestors for their ignorance, would be the blessing towards healing the African Roots of Humanity, as well as the American Roots of this, our Native American home.

Such a dialog could very well be the soul's gift- which we've lost and now search for- inspiring us seekers from within the conciousness that is the creator in us all.

I wish James O'Dea well in his dialog quest however, it will do a small amount of good for him, when so many more people hunger and thirst for knowledge of the creator within.

They still live homeless, fatherless, and without companions, as they seek the comforting knowledge of a blameless life.

They still fill prisons, rehab facilities and mental health institutions, secretly fearing evilization's stigmatizing ignorance.

When will the dialog end and the educative effort to heal the spirits of humanity's children begin?

How long will the rhetoric about what we know continue to hold back teaching the lost how to find the truth within?

It's Time To Get Wise To The Waxed, Elequent Vanity Of Ourselves And Stop Talking About Stopping Selfishness

It's Time To Shut Up AND Put Up Because...

Something IS Coming!!!

Reverend Doctor, this post stung me, right on my "waxed, eloquent vanity".

Thank you.

Call me Charles, Jeffrey.
Being called "Reverend Dr." always give me the woolies.
As far as the sting of my comment goes, consider it a gift.

Someone once said, "for every one thousand people that hack at the leaves of evil, there is only one person chopping at the root."

I have no problem with how much the professional and elite communities need to shift their perception from competitive gain to contributive growth and evolution.

But if I had half the resources that people have at the top of the economic ladder, I could effective 10 times the shift at the bottom, where the shift is so desperately needed most, in my humble opinion.

Talking about what's wrong with people hasn't changed what's wrong in the minds of people.

It just makes people leap on the band wagon of finger pointing.
However, teaching the people that have been counted as the worst and the least among "civilized" society, to understand their own worth in our sovereign universe, changes everything.

For two bits, I could walk into any institution and tell them somethings they've never heard yet, could not deny...

wonderful things about who and what they are, as well as why they've never heard it, until now!
Talk about Shifting Perceptions?
I can tell you about Shifting, JED.
Thanks for the comment.

God's Blessings of Prosperous Peace to You and Yours
