Are you so scared and insecure...



Another new Decade, and what has changed. What is it about the human condition that makes you scared of heroes? You want heroes, you crave them, you pray for them, and when one comes along you sing a Heavenly song of Praise for them – until the newness wears off. Then you do everything you can to persecute them, to tear them down, smear their reputations, and destroy their souls so you can discard them like the trash you put out on trash day – without another thought.
What is wrong with your religions? Where are the religious people telling you it is wrong to kill, to maim, to denigrate? Instead they blame earthly disasters on some imagined pact with an imagined devil (they would have to get a real job if they let you in on the secret that there isn’t a Devil, that Satan doesn’t really exist, that evil only lurks in the darkness of your souls). Louisiana ‘deserved’ Katrina because of all the blacks who lived there. San Francisco and Oakland ‘deserved’ the earthquake a few years back because of all the gays who lived there. Haiti ‘deserved’ the 7.0 earthquake this past week because of Voodoo and a pact with the ‘devil’ to keep them safe from the French decades ago.
Who will speak out? Who will say they’re tired of war, tired of prejudice, tired of the tearing down of integrity, of goodness, of kindness?
In the United States President Barack Obama has been in office one year this month and is being blamed for everything that has happened in the past nine years, eight of which he wasn’t in office. In your state of Massachusetts, which has been ‘democratic’ for decades, a Republican won yesterday making the Democrats in Congress one short of guaranteeing a passage of a health bill.

Wait a minute. The richest country on Earth, the freest country on Earth, the country whose Declaration of Independence shouts to the rooftops that “all men are created equal” – this United States of America is relying on petty partisan politics to gauge whether a bill guaranteeing all men are equal in that they can get health care?
What is wrong with you people? Why is it fun to watch ordinary people on television as in American Idol, etc., be treated like dirt, be disrespected, be ‘thrown away’? Why don’t you want your neighbor to be healthy so you can be healthy too? What about those people you work with – don’t you want them to be healthy so you can be healthy too? Why why why must you tear down everyone else but you?
DO YOU NOT BELIEVE IN GOD? DO YOU NOT BELIEVE IN GOOD? DO YOU NOT BELIEVE IN LOVE?
I’m completely disgusted with the lot of you. YOU are killing Mother Earth and She won’t let you – She will throw all of you off before you get that far. Did you not learn that lesson when you punched a hole in the Ozone layer and started getting widespread cancer from the Sun? YOU MUST ACT – you must tell your leaders you want no more of this hate. No one else can. You must stop patronizing television that demeans humans or animals. You must tell advertisers you will not use their products advertised on these shows.
YOU MUST ACT. GOD IS WATCHING US ALL. Let the Sleeper Awaken. Namaste
