Your three previous litmus tests seem to be the culmination of a long development. The System has been environmentalist, anti-racist and healthist (remember cholesterol, AIDS and such nonsense?) since the 1960's. To pass the litmus tests requires to question the fundamentals of liberal democracy. The events in 2020 showed that the System is total, that it can create both the input and the output, at least for a short period. The election's in the USA show that the System does not have to accept negative feedback. And therefore, there is no corrective mechanism for the System's excesses.<br /><br />The result of this is that as the System is more and more 'self-containing', creating its own reality, it is ever more in risk of a catastrophic collapse. If the end game is, as you predict, Sorathic destruction, preventing any corrective feedback to the System is essential in attaining this goal. Any part of the System which is able to take corrective feedback from the real world is much more resilient.Matias F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12018666354109074544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-48864057235710354462021-01-09T19:07:46.138+00:002021-01-09T19:07:46.138+00:00Loved Mr. Wright's write-up.

Less need for faith, perhaps no need, just watch what unfolds. That doesn't mean it's going to go the way of what any one individual or group wants.<br /><br />I think what is missing is the lack of a ground of being, a foundation for transformation.<br /><br /><br />Faculty Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-57369519592155438212021-01-09T18:56:39.654+00:002021-01-09T18:56:39.654+00:00@GB - I feel, more and more strongly, that what is...@GB - I feel, more and more strongly, that what is happening in the US matters to everyone. In exactly what way, I don't know - but I'm sure it is of general and extreme significance.<br /><br />@Nova - Yes, that chap does good satire. <br /><br />@AJ - Pray - and I would also say to 'think' about these vital matters with clarity and strength from our real and divine self. I believe that such thinking is absolutely real, and becomes part of God's creation. <br /><br />If we think clearly on a subject then (in some way - and I don't mean morphic resonance, but something much more 'interpersonal') this understanding becomes available to others of the same alignment and attuned to these matters.

We cannot thank you enough DR. <br /><br />Things are surreal here, evil is as unmasked as it ever has been and more people than I naively thought are praising it and calling for more. <br /><br />The one way every patriot can make a difference is to Pray. I have a few friends and family members that do not believe. I was weak in confronting their quasi to full blown atheism. This is a perfect time to make final appeals to them to turn to God.Avalon Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471473879728546564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-32931815730238690652021-01-09T18:20:13.565+00:002021-01-09T18:20:13.565+00:00Here's a brave comedian who will soon be compl...Here's a brave comedian who will soon be completely censored, or worse. <br /><br />There's an odd synergy between Bruce's philosophical insights and JPs dark humor.<br /><br />Enjoy JP (and other like him) while you still can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SicsQervb4<br />Stephen Macdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474300559219020772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-87578361924178256702021-01-09T10:59:07.507+00:002021-01-09T10:59:07.507+00:00I think that the positive or negative outcome of t...I think that the positive or negative outcome of the current battle is not to be sought on the level of how mass-happenings or public events end up transpiring, but on a personal/familial level, and is determined by how men act considering what is happening around them. <br /><br />And this, for every man and woman in the world, not just for Americans. <br /><br />(Even if, naturally, America was the torch bearer of the spirit of Christ in these times. I am not sure that is the case any longer… in fact, this destruction of what people consider America might be necessary so that the Spirit of Christ may return to the home of every Christian, as part of the evolution of the consciousness of man, and not to a specific country or land, a configuration which belongs to the “old” world).<br /><br />In other words, we must not think that the material or spiritual future of mankind is tied to whether Trump serves again or not, whether there is a mass awakening or not, or whether American Patriots manage to “drain the swamp” or anything else of that nature. <br /><br />In fact, I think that more than ever before, we are moving away from that type of configuration (where a specific land or specific people or specific institutions are responsible for the spiritual evolution of very large numbers of people) and that the future will be increasingly decided by the thoughts, actions and decisions of mostly anonymous, small, local people, and this tendency will continue to grow and grow.<br /><br />Of course, the events of the past few days are a sharpening of the events of the past year, which are themselves a sharpening of the events and decisions of the previous decades. And this sharpening has certainly reached an almost inconceivable crescendo.<br /><br />Of course, I think there is a clear sensation among the spiritually sensitive, that the world “has changed”, that today´s world is in some decisive way different to yesterday´s world. <br /><br />I do not, however, think that we should pin our hopes on what is happening in the US, nor do I think that the “fate of the world” is in the hands of what americans are doing. If anything, I think that that USED TO BE the case, but precisely the new world we are now entering is one where that is no longer the case.<br />Gary Bleasdalenoreply@blogger.com
