What’s it all about…?

-->

Spring has come and bad news just keeps coming along with it. So, a question. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The ‘bad’ times or the endless talking about the ‘bad’ times? It seems that humans are acting, as a group, like a group of unruly chickens running around talking about how the sky is falling and how it’s ruining their lives – but nobody is listening to them because they’re all talking at once and not allowing themselves to listen to anyone else. And when they do listen, it is to people on the Internet, on TV, whose job it is to make mountains out of molehills, not to reasonably assess situations.

You have an entire channel on TV devoted to nothing but weather – and what happens when a storm (not even a severe one) gets within 100 miles of your nearest metroplex. The channel goes into overdrive with local reports, long range predictions and a gigantic number of scenarios should the storm reach it’s “intended target,” all of which range from bad to worse. You are hammered constantly. Is this what you want to hear? No, it isn’t. But it brings viewers by the thousands and that brings big charges for advertisers, thus enriching the very people who tried their best to scare you to death in order to keep you safe.

The news channels are the same. Some try to be unbiased, but a few cater, yes, invite into your homes like a vampire all the bad news they can muster. And a smaller few just make things up to make sure you tune in to be scared to death about something or someone who is either coming for your money, your freedom, your life or your gun. This has been going on, in earnest, since the World Trade Center was destroyed. Unfortunately, it has its roots far far back in time. It is one of those ‘human’ things you acknowledge with some sort of perverse pride. Yes I am an animal, you say, but not descended from them, you say. I am king of all I survey.

You pick and choose when it comes to following the main religion in the United States at present (which I’m sure just scared someone to death that I said that aloud) – Christianity – you glorify the Ten Commandments – there were several instances of court houses and the legality of displaying them in the news a few years back, remember? – yet you do not follow all of the Ten Commandments.

You proudly talk about the wonderful Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and beat your chest about your right to bear arms and then forget the really important stuff, like all men are created equal. You spend hours a month attending church and then actively hate people based on how they look or act, or buy more guns or bullets for ‘the day’ when the country collapses. You blame everyone but yourself for what’s happening in this country today. It’s the President’s fault. The Congress. You don’t understand why we have to give so much money to the banks so they won’t fail, and you sure don’t understand why we have to help people who lost the only place to live they have because the bank let them buy that 285,000 dollar house when they only made 50,000 a year. It’s their fault, right? Wrong.

Are you not your brother’s keeper? Do you not have a responsibility toward your brothers and sisters of the world? You cannot be a Christian and say no to either of those questions. Being a Christian means being a follower of the Christ, Jesus and all of his teachings, not just ones you pick out. New Testament stuff here, not Old.

Now no one can be human and not understand the pain you are all in right now.

The reason is Karma, and the solution is within you, right now. You will get through this – one way or another. On the other side of this painful time lies many more good times for all, if you learn. If you learn that you have been asleep most of your life and it is time to awaken, to really live and to love everyone as Christ did, to realize that everyone has a stake, an equal stake, in making this a wonderful healthy loving world. There are people and organizations right now trying to do this, trying to make this a better world, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Are you going to try, too? Or are you going to buy more bullets. Many humans are awaking now. It’s really time for you to awaken too – you know this in your heart.

Remember, God is watching you, now and always.
