Consciousness Projected–Consequences Deserved

There’s always enough money to fight a war. Eradicating the slums of the world, while feeding children starving to death, are undertakings that have never been funded.

We attract and create the causes of our own suffering. The energy projected by our wrongful thoughts and actions are recycled, as matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Changing form, it continues to birth destruction throughout the world. The cumulative damage of the wrongful conduct of all human beings is unfathomable.

Mastering and conquering the delusions, disturbances and evil that lurks within oneself is the antidote to suffering. Equanimity is an internally developed attribute. Any individual thinking positive and peaceful thoughts, projects concordant energy via their conduct.

Most schools are sorely lacking in delivering any type of instruction that reflects this ‘wisdom of the ages’. Their negligence and failure are legend.

Riding loosely in the saddle of life, while wearing the material world as a loose garment, are priorities for those seeking ‘Self-Realization’. Love is the only instrument that will prevail against the world’s ignorance and contempt.

Lies and deceptions enjoy fertile ground in our body politic. Master puppeteers that they are, our government is skilled and proficient at directing its complying marionettes. No matter how blaring their inconsistencies, willing accomplices in the media peddle the administration’s narrative as fact. Detailed inquires examining the government’s truthfulness are absent.

We’ve been disrespected and divided by a regime fanning the partisan flames of discontent. Survival and selfishness keeps some of us in line. Apparently, many are OK with the government’s maleficent abuses targeting select citizens.

The rhetoric of ‘change’ proffered by Obama’s political machine is alarmingly shallow, as many citizens are being harmed by his actions. Pitting one American against another, diverting attention away from their failures, is this administration’s specialty.

As long as children die from hunger and disease, so long as one American is injured by the  government’s dishonesty, ineffectiveness and incompetence; for just that long, Obama shall refrain from participating in his elitist and privileged life style. A credible leader wouldn’t accept preferential treatment, while others are suffering.
