Beautiful blasphemies … ( 08 / 10 / 2013 )
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 …
* 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 therefore just as much a right to live a naturally long & happy life as you do … period .
* Truth # 02 ) Politics is not the answer to any current 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 other “ conservatives ” the world over ) are not interested in “ preserving democracy ” or “ increasing prosperity ”. No , politicians the world over 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 . While not bad people per se ; politicians are simply lost – all of them to one degree or another wandering aimlessly through a system warped by their own unmaking .
* Truth # 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 condemnatory man-made dogmas and furthers corrupt man-made desires .
* Truth # 04 ) Most importantly of all , you are not powerless to change the way things are — you are not too weak to set yourself free , nor are you to impotent to free your family & your neighborhood & indeed your entire nation along with you .
