The following is part of a private dialogue I’m having…a very precious individual is right at the doorway of making a big leap.  And we are discussing the veil that is in the process of being dissolved.  I shared that the reason why we see what we do on our world stage is due to a lack of love being expressed.  And of course, the response I got was in denial of my statement.  It’s not that there’s not love; it’s because there is so much anger, hate, envy, etc.

And I’m insightful enough to recognize “Blame”  being expressed when I hear it.

“It’s not *us*.  It’s *them*.”  It’s not the *Light* but the *Darkness*.  It’s not the *good* but the *bad*.

So my response is this:

The reason we see the effects of a lack of love, is because of a lack of love being expressed.  I say what you and most of us have been taught to call ‘love’, isn’t ‘love’ at all nor what ‘love’ is remotely about.  And that’s why it doesn’t attract into creation loving experiences.  It’s fear, so it creates fear and attracts fear, so it can then live off fear.

What we imagine to BE ‘love’ ISN’T “love” at all. It’s fear. Human survival fear. This survival fear runs concurrent, in contradiction with and to…Recognition and Realization of ourselves as Spiritual Beings, Infinite and Eternal in Nature. In order to feel and act in accordance with our shared survival fears, we have to DENY and NEGATE the other. A Sovereign is only victim of his/her own ideas. To be a victim of another, is to deny being Sovereign.

It’s a matter of goals. Is my desire to uplift and enlighten? Is my desire to promote limitation and darkness? Either choice being “OK”. Simply a matter of purpose and goals. Do I desire a chocolate cake or a cherry pie? Which ever choice I make as a goal, requires I use the correct ingredients and substances, mixed in balanced proportions, if I desire my activities to be result-oriented.

If results don’t matter, if my intent is all that counts and to hell with results and consequences, then, of course, ANYTHING GOES! Which we are looking at on the World stage right now.

So what’s it going to be?

The time now is for Leadership with Vision to rise. Especially in consideration of all that has come to Light, regarding those in leadership positions, that LACKED Vision. One thing that can be said about EVERY corporation going down and in straits right now, is that it LACKED Vision when it came to market potentials and future trends. The blind led the blind and everyone ended up going face down into the ditch.

2000 years ago, we, as a whole, didn’t have the slightest feelings of Sympathy towards one another. What’s really *sad*, is that there are groups of us today, that still express being lacking in this sensitivity. Dullards of Awareness. For Sensitivity is Awareness, not a lot of hu-rah ugga ugga cave man or boohooing poor thing.

Sympathy is an EXCELLENT leap we have made in our Progressive Evolution. Now it’s time we take our next step. Towards Compassion. Sympathy is not Compassion. Since it’s not, it doesn’t have the same effect or results.

Choice/Consequence. Cause/Effect. Goal/Achievement.

It is a contradiction to claim one, and live in denial of the other.

Like I said, Sympathy is not Compassion. Just like a sow’s ear is not the same as a silk purse. No matter what I make the sow’s ear to look like, it will still be a sow’s ear, made of an altogether different substance then is silk.

I can put cherries in my cake mix all I want and a chocolate cake will never come out of my oven.

I asked questions about “caring for each other”?

The reason I ask is because of the essential underlying substance that fuels our feelings. I ask in Acknowledgment of Praise for the Evolutionary Progress we have achieved, expressed by us feeling ANYTHING. We have come a long way from where we were 2000 years ago. At least most of us.

The best and most commonly known example I can think of right now to convey the difference between Sympathy and Compassion, is that of Mary, Mother of Jesus. She nurtured her Son with Compassion and Understanding. She did not smother him with worries and fears about his survival. What was her Son’s goal? What was her Son’s Purpose? What was her Son’s Soul Passion? Did she act in support of it? Did she act in denial and resistance to it? Did she fan the flames of Courage? Did she fan the flames of victim hood?

Did she Love her son? Was her love about him?

Did she just love what he meant to her and her life? Was her love about herself? About maintaining the world she was comfortable living in, with all the people that satisfied her various emotional needs?

Do you imagine Mary limiting her experiences of happiness to only those situations where everything was going her way?

What Path did Mary support her son in walking?

Now THAT was Love.

What was mentioned was:

“Love others as I have Loved you.”

The *knowing* is all in the phrase: “Pick up thy bed and walk.”

In that statement is the Acknowledgment and Recognition of the Presence within, capable of achievement. Respect for that Presence. Honor for that Presence. It was a statement of Compassion. What was expressed was a *knowing* of what it is like to be human and a *knowing* of our Spiritual Nature as well. Fused and combined in that one statement.

And you’re never going to be able to sell me the idea that all our “poor suffering victim”, helpless, hapless, victims of Creation nonsense is Loving AT ALL. It’s definitely Human, though.

What goal does Sympathy achieve?

Keeping each other BLIND and living in restriction and limitation of our creative powers over our own reality. So long as we continue to choose to see ourselves as victims, we are forever helpless and hapless when it comes to improving any of our living conditions and circumstances.

We choose our Beliefs citing respect for our freedoms of choice,yet totally deny responsibility and accountability for the consequences and results of those beliefs that we have to life with. Yes, live with.

Of what earthly or practical USE is ANY belief system or philosophy of Life, that only promises rewards after we’re dead?

One that is useless in improving any conditions while we’re alive.

Like I’ve been saying…

“Fear of Death”, a “love”, a “caring” focused and fueled by feelings of fear for survival is NOT the same as “Love of Life”, which is fueled by Respect and Recognition of the Infinite and Eternal Nature of all Life’s expressions. One code of ‘morality’ operates by creating conditions, where Life is admired and where it is not, depending on how and what that Life is expressing. The other  “moral’ code operates in extending Appreciation and Love for sharing the experience of  Life itself, uncolored by any conditions.

The Law of Karma operates through those conditions, where Life is accepted and where it is not, with intrinsic Value of Life itself being denied, regulated, with external conditions created to take Life’s place. Judgments of value, of person, based on race, gender, sexual orientation, job, family, community, nation, which end we break an egg, etc. The Law of Karma is based upon pure SUPERFICIALITY.

The Law of Grace operates by looking BEYOND purely superficial appearances, and RECOGNIZING the Spirit of Life expressing itself, any time one of us says anything. First, there was the WORD. “SELF” Expression. “Self” IN Expression is what Existence and the Whole of Creation is all about.

For it is the expression of Consciousness. And it is very PRECIOUS. In whatever form it takes.

Consciousness and Existence, they go together, like one hand washing the other. I can’t very well experience being conscious if there was nothing to be conscious OF, now can I? What’s the use of having any senses in a sense deprivation tank? And existence, how would I know anything existed if I wasn’t conscious to begin with?

Aha! Must be one of those hilarious jokes like “peacekeeping”…how can we keep what we do NOT have?

Tell me, how much money could I spend, building a vault to keep all the money I don’t have?

Is the song we’re singing “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?”?

Or is it “Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow”.

One Mary bitches and whines and complains  about how her garden grows.    The other  guards the Immaculate concept within all sheep.

What song is being sung by the Mother of our emotional natures?

Sympathy does not accomplish, what only Compassion can empower.

Extending fear,  is not the same as extending Love.

A quote from Ovid -

“Que non viribus istis Munera conveiunt.”

These lines form part of the tale of Metamorphoses, of Phobe’s speech to Phaeton after the latter had requested permission to drive the sun chariot for a day.

Just yesterday I remembered what I had heard on TV. The Voice of Opposition to our *new* President’s requirement of capping executive salaries. When I heard complaints about being able to attract and hire QUOTE “the brightest, the best and most talented”.

“Hey, wait a minute,” I mumbled to my husband, “Did you hear that? When did the definition of success become divorced from results? If this is the result of the decision making of the ‘best, the brightest and most talented’ that we’ve got, then we’re in deeper *shit* then I thought.”

It was incredulous to me. Of course I’ve known about “golden parachutes” for a long time. They became increasingly popular after corporations began taking over and gobbling up other companies and corporations.

It was insurance for executives if the company or the corporation was not as successful as its competition. “Fire sale” insurance. Entrance to this level of ‘executives’ was usually like being invited into a men’s club, of sorts.

In other words, “golden parachutes” rewarded and personally insured, decision making that did not result in profitable consequences.

Educated fools are a dime a dozen. George W. Bush graduated from Yale and Harvard Business School. While his self expression in total contradiction with any intelligence belongs on “Ripley’s Believe It or Not?” show.

What’s the use in knowing a lot of facts if we don’t have any sense when it comes to putting them together?

Sense = cents.

No sense = no cents.

How obvious could it get?

Using one of the same type of tools that dug this hole we are in…, looking to one of us that’s been beguiled and indoctrinated into believing in the screwed up economics started back in the late 70′s…, the one divorced from a reality of accountability and responsibility for  results, ISN’T the way to go.  Trusting in those of us who have betrayed the public Trust ISN’T the way to go.

Calling all sheep!

Now’s the time to take a ewe turn…

My daughter got behind in her school work in December. What with the holidays in November, she thought she’d have plenty of time to catch up over Christmas.  But as things went, with the frozen pipes and tree branches covered in ice snapping limbs and cutting off our power, then our laptop dying…she didn’t get to her work.

But she’s a trooper and put her ‘nose to the grindstone’. Over the past couple of weeks, she’s been doing one week’s worth of work in each of her classes per day, working between 10-12 hours a day, while I have concentrated all my attention on doing whatever I can to help her.

Her dad is ‘waiting in the wings’ for her to get finished. You see, he is waiting for me to help him with his homework, too. He’s got a giant bid to prepare for a job he is getting ready to start.

And my son in college, recently sent me an email, reminding me that it is time again to fill out his FAFSA for his student grants. It’s nice to be reminded but this is not something that needs to be done right *now*. It goes on my list after doing our taxes for this year.

And I start doing that the 1st of next month. It usually takes me a couple of days, as the first thing I do is total all our receipts for the year. I’ve got bags of them. One thing for sure, it’s a lot quicker to do the taxes now that there are software programs to make my job easier.

The first thing I used to do at this time of year is study all the new tax codes. You see, I’ve been in charge of doing my family’s taxes are far back as I can remember: Schedule A, Schedule B, Schedule C, Schedule D, you name it and I’ve filed it.

My dad raised me to have a sense for business, to be a Steward of family Values.

Everyday if I bother to even look at TV, there’s a story about another *smuck* who has lost all their money. Now a lot of us may bristle over my use of the term *smuck* but that really is too “bad”. For the way I m seeing it, is that a lot of us simply didn’t do our ~homework~ when it came to investing our resources.

The stock market has never been a “sure” thing. Wise and savvy investors have always studied a stock, pouring over financial statements in order to determine a company’s worth and profitability. It’s the responsible thing to do, that is. And what we’re looking at now, is simply the result of not being responsible. Lots of people desired to gain without doing any ~homework~.

When even my daughter understands that she can’t expect to get an “A” or a “B” in any subject, if she doesn’t do any ~homework~.

I find it absurd so many of us expect our governments to come up with some magic wand that will somehow restore all the ‘wealth’ we lost through speculation. Gee, if that works, we’ll be lined up at the casinos next, looking for someone to insure our losses there.

How about we start being Responsible and Accountable for our choices and our decision making? Like the decision to invest in stocks? Like the decision to trust in those who had no substance of character? Like the decision to even listen to those of us who have no substance of character?

If we ever expect our governments to have ethics and integrity, it has to start with us, first. If we ever expect our governments to be Accountable and Responsible, we have to be Accountable and Responsible ourselves. For our OWN choices.

What’s going on is not Liberty; it is not about Freedom. For with Liberty and Freedom comes Responsibility and Accountability for our choices. It’s about License. The license to choose as we please and blame something or someone else when our choices turn out to be foolish ones.

I guide to cease our crying over spilt milk. However much money has disappeared, don’t count on getting it back. Instead, learn how to make due with less. For the end result will be to discover and realize how much less we really need in order to be happy and content.

Our Economy based on credit consumption is OVER. It’s a proverbial dead horse. So spending any more money and time shoeing this dead horse, is simply going to increase our losses and retard our recovery.

It’s time we started doing our ~homework~. It’s time we were PRODUCTIVE at home and in our communities. Let us realize that whatever sense of security we imagined we had, it was all an illusion, insulating us from realizing we are members of our human race.

For there are a lot of people throughout our world who NEVER had such opportunities of investing and NEVER dreamed of having enough wealth to feel secure. It is not a “Right”. Nor are any of us “entitled” to it.

Once we cease our whining and complaints about being victims of deceivers, THEN we can start on our road to recovery. For the only ones we have deceived, have been ourselves.

I’m writing this post to give us a “head’s up”. I am currently working on another project, as well as overseeing my daughter’s education as we head into finals. I’m not going to mince my words, nor tiptoe around even trying to be nice about it.

There is an attitude that is prevalent that is not serving Humanity one bit. I’ll call it our attitude of being emotional spoiled brats and wimps.

It’s the attitude expressed by these statements:

“I don’t want to see anything unpleasant.”
“I don’t want to hear anything unpleasant.”
“I don’t want to experience anything unpleasant.”

It’s this attitude of rejection and denial that has been selling itself as supposedly ‘spiritual’, when it couldn’t be farther from it.

Each of the attitudes expresses a LACK, a DEFICIT of inner strength and of Spiritual Integration. And our hope at this time, does not lie in being BIG BABIES.

I have HAD IT, with the selling of this attitude being related to ANYTHING Spiritual and those of us who have been selling this idea, and personally profiting off the ignorance of others, are going down. Realities wiped out unless changed and transformed.

It is not wise at this time to look to outer authorities to solve our problems. As all our problems at this time are a result and consequence of our LACK in self discipline.

I realize there a many of us who think of discipline as “unpleasant” and those of us who believe this, are going to discover that the consequences of lacking it, are far more unpleasant then discipline itself.

It is not a ‘good’ time to be a sheep.

I share this from a friend of mine…
