Self-Proclaimed METAPHYSICIANS By Vincent Genna Heal the demons in your own heart before attempting to heal others. I t’s time for another one of my spiritual soap box speeches! Recently, I saw two different Facebook posts from two different so-called spiritual and angel messengers that I must comment on. It is completely baffling to me as to how someone can say he or she works with angels, God, Spiritual Guides, or whomever holy to help others and have NO human moral values. For example, how can anyone who claims to be a spiritual practitioner be OPPOSED to gun control in the USA? How can you think ANYTHING or ANYONE related to God or spirituality would have anything to do with guns at all? There is an opposing political belief in this country that the easy availability of guns is not the cause of the widespread mass shootings that have occurred here. Even though the statistics in most other countries that have gun control regulations show significant evidence of a decline to no mass shootings, the NRA have their followers convinced that guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Even if you choose to believe that, a follower of ANY god shouldn’t support the ownership of guns no matter what the reason. God, angels and guns don’t go hand in hand! And if you think you can separate your political beliefs from your spiritual beliefs, you’re wrong on that account, too! Your TRUE spiritual beliefs will dictate your political ones!
