GETTING IN GOOD TROUBLE![]() Two different lives in the same shared bubble One named "Justice" the other "Good Trouble." "Justice" was white and "Good Trouble" Black "Justice" had one thing "Good Trouble" lacked ![]() "Good Trouble" had struggles in"Everyday Life." A community filled with violence and strife But "Justice" and "Everyday Life" got along A pretty cool life where few things could go wrong. ![]() Now "Everyday Life" knew "justice" quite well But not "Good Trouble" he always caught hell. Yes "Good Trouble's" life was always being tested So "Good Trouble" got killed or got beat & arrested. ![]() With "Hatred" & "Violence" still hanging around "Good Trouble" got up & was knocked back down. Then as "Justice" delayed & came painfully slow "Good Trouble" stayed focused with so far to go. ![]() But "equality" & "Justice" have lifted their voice Today more then ever "Good Trouble" has choice "Good People" now give "Good Trouble" a chance "Good Trouble" can prosper and further advance. ![]() Now five separate lives in one shared bubble here comes "Challenge" to help "Good trouble." They're working together and keeping us free With "Justice" "Good People" and "Equality." ![]() With "Everyday Life"not ready to change "Good Trouble's" desires appear to be strange. It's time for transitions that changes do bring That honor "John Lewis" & "Martin L. King." ![]() Though the futures uncertain in a time of great fear while so many are hurting and the path is unclear. It's time we take care of our one common bubble And thank all the people who bring us "Good Trouble."

TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM - TRUTH OR DARE![]() There comes a time in life where we must do what's in the best interest of others as opposed to ourselves. The term "taking one for the team" epitomizes that sentiment. This meme seems to have originated with baseball and implies allowing oneself to get struck by a pitch rather then ducking out of the way. This is a personal sacrifice a player can make at the risk of injury in order to advance a runner on base. The truth is that we have arrived a time in history that calls for that same kind of selfless actions by our leaders. By leaders, we refer to anyone and everyone charged with the responsibility for the welfare of others. This list begins with parents, teachers, clergy, law makers, law enforcers and ALL leaders who exercise authority over other people or events. The truth does not operate through convenience. As a matter of fact the truth has a way of being inconvenient. Unfortunately the truth needs a vessel to express itself through. The truth speaks to us through our experiences but it has no voice of its own. If we fail to hear truth's call or heed truth's warnings it is generally because we ignored it. The truth "cries" through the voice of wisdom, pleading with us to turn from foolishness to the "spirit of understanding." Leaders as "feeders" are responsible for delivering the truth, along with the spiritual nourishment needed to grow and prosper. Truth provides us with a motive for change and is at the height of its power and expression when the right thing to do is difficult or unpopular. Often truth needs a champion because many times we just don't want to see it for what it is. The truth is generally pretty obvious but sometimes requires someone to sacrifice themselves for it. Truth never hesitates to take one for the team. Whatever truth needs to do to advance, it is always willing to do. When truth advances the team advances and when the truth is not advanced, no one advances on the bases, and the batter is likely to strike out. Without understanding and embracing a team concept of truth it is difficult to apply it in terms of we rather then me. GREAT LEADERS DON'T TELL US WHAT TO DO......THEY SHOW US HOW ITS DONE!Leadership is a vital Leaders lead by example and must model how individual efforts impact collective thought and behavior. Individuality is at the lowest and most rudimentary level of spirituality. As we mature it is normal to grow from dependent to independent. However, the truth of the matter is that nothing great has ever been accomplished without "i-n-t-e-r-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t cooperative interaction." That's just another way of describing being a part of a team. It is not uncommon to witness the sacrifice of a leader individually having a dramatic effect upon a collective group; that's what leaders do. Consider the great martyrs of history. The truth of the matter is that the road of progress is often paved with the blood of human sacrifice. Among those who took one for the team are Joan of Arch, John the Baptist, Jesus the Christ, Gandhi the pacifist and Martin Luther King Jr. the non-violent. We can still see the affects of their effect. The easiest way to take one for the team is to tell the truth. A truly called, ordained or predestined leader generally feels compelled to proclaim the truth. A leader can be established through legal authority or by moral authority. Appointed and elected leaders govern or rule through the legitimacy of their designated position of power legally. The authority bestowed upon or granted to leaders by this method may not have to be earned. Leadership positions can be bought or bargained for in exchange for favor or power. On the other hand, moral authority is usually foisted upon leaders who answer only to truth. Moral authority has no prerequisites, just a genuine standard of truth or a willingness to stand up for what's right. Moral authorities like Moses, Jesus, Gandhi, King and others were not elected they were "called." ![]() Truth has a cousin called facts. Facts are generally true but they must be regarded as the structures which gives form to truth. The fact is, that facts can be used to twist truth. Although we know that most facts are predominately true they can be framed to present a narrative that obscures the truth. News and politics specialize in obscuring truth through a terminology we call spin. "Spin" is the process of presenting evidence in such a way that the elephant in the room remains unnoticed. It works because the main issue is obfuscated by the spin. Besides our politicians and commentators everyone of us has a biased personal spin. This comes from our lack of understanding the rudimentary operations of spirit and not being able to see past secondary causes. By majoring in the minors we often misconstrue, misdiagnose or just miss the mark. These mistakes are magnified even more when we fail to acknowledge our mistakes or stubbornly believe that we are correct despite evidence to the contrary. In psychology this is called "confirmation bias."The lens we look through determines how we see things. Spin is like the maze of mirrors in an amusement park. Spin teaches us how to frame an apology, as Congressman Ted Yoho did, without ever actually apologizing. Is it any wonder that our country has descended into shameful and petty name calling along with bullying like so many of us experienced in grade school. This behavior started from the top and trickled down. When the leader who holds our highest office practices verbal abuse towards people, even women, what keeps the rest of his team from following that lead in the "spirit of unity." Demeaning words are meant to have the same effect whether the phase includes "bitches or niggers." This "anti-christian spirit" works directly against the "spirit of love" and trashes every commandment in the bible regarding how we should behave towards and treat one another. Yet our fundamental Christian Church leaders have NOT spoken out against such behavior and instead seemingly has joined that team. I thought the church's job was to define, exhibit and hold us all to Christ like standards without partiality. Doesn't the christian church have to answer to a higher power? isn't the job of the preacher to cry out against evil practices without fear or favor even if it's within their own ranks? Even Jesus rebuked Peter when he got out of line. We are not expecting the clergy to condemn our government, only our government's bad behavior. We do not condemn our children when they misbehave we chastise their behavior and continue to love them. Although the militant church may have failed to answer to their higher calling it does not excuse us from speaking out at and standing up against the "spirits of division and hate." If the leadership in our churches neglect their duty we must still obey the word of God. We are commanded to speak not evil of one another. The bible declares that when we speak evil of one another and judge one another, we speak evil of the law and judge the law. When facts and truth team up with honesty, service and sacrifice the elephant in the room becomes apparent and re-framing the narrative becomes very difficult to do. We all should know by now that it is virtually impossible to put a spin on a pandemic. This virus has intelligence and a mission to fulfill. We can successfully combat this virus only if we come together and work as a team. When a team is on one accord working towards a mutual goal they often have a formula for success. Such information becomes a critical shared team strategy. ![]() Our team approach to truth functions through standing against all individual "acts of lying." Remember a unified team operates collectively and uniformly through a conglomerate of unique and separate forms called players. When each individual form conforms to the uniform goal of the whole, the team is capable of performing as one newly formed unit. This is what transformation is all about. Whenever individual forms of any kind are assimilated into one form or combine as one form, they create a chain as strong as its weakest link. As long as each individual link stays connected with the ones next to it, a newly created single unbroken chain is formed. Any break, breech or separation by any one link compromises the entire chain. Any weight or stress on any link is distributed and shared among all links of the connected chain. This is the chain's formula for strength that is found in this formidable and powerful formation. The shared capacity of all links work hand in hand with the uniformity of their cause. By combining the power of individual purposes focused on one goal both natural and spiritual forces of energy are mutually engaged. Team unity is a function of spirit. The composition and structure of a team can vary from unit to unit but it generally carries a shared pool of beliefs, morals, qualities and values. As birds of a feather do flock together so does the "spirit of action" and intent of a unified team. Never forget that the spirit or mentality of any close knit formed group has a culture of shared rationale and thinking that develops psychically. This is also known as team spirit. This, "all for one and one for all" spirit is a great communal force that unifies an entire group or organization. When the character of an organization is reflected in every aspect of its functional being the name of the organization becomes its character. We see this with the Free Masons, Shriner's, Google and even The Marines. "No man left behind," is more then a mantra for the Army Rangers it is a group or team way of life. This mysterious unifying phenomena occurs at the physical, psychological and spiritual levels of interaction so that "birds of a feather" can both act and feel as one. The harmonious merger of attitudes and beliefs also conforms individual thought actions into a shared way of thinking and processing information. Any individual error reflects upon the entire team. This is why we hold all groups, organizations or teams to a higher standard of appearance and behavior. This is why the uniforms they proudly wear represent their affiliation with the ideals of that institution. When we form these organizations, we bestow upon them a power that can be used or abused. It is therefore important that these teams answer to their spiritual mission and the constituency it serves. This allows external supervision in such a way that a team is always accountable to it's written mandate and subject to its body of oversight. A team answers to two factors: its mission and its leader, in that order. The leader is never above the mission. ![]() There are team structures which protect teams from being infiltrated by evil influences. This is why we form and use team strategies. Even when a team's leader falls short the team's mission still carries on. The spirit of the team is in its dedication to its calling and duty. A breech in team integrity also indicates a lack of spiritual integrity and values. When we define things in spiritual terms the measure of severity is determined in terms of "sin" rather then "wrong." Sin has a deceptive and delusional way of appearing to be normal. Traditional thinking may not address the hidden, invisible and lingering inequities of sin we face today. Whenever something is habitually practiced it becomes blindly accepted. Whether a deed is considered right or wrong, good or evil anything done in perpetuity is generally con-ceded or allowed to continue. This is why hunger, poverty, apartheid, racism and a sex trade still exists. Our iniquities allow these sins to continue by deafening our ears and blinding our eyes to them. Without a quickened consciousness to these types of sins that we often overlook they will continue to defile both individuals and teams. There are those sins that works abominations and makes lies. The instinct to sin is embedded in our nature. The iniquity, of such sins, the moral distortion, (spin) that we use as conformation bias is what many people are unaware of. We have given "this"the title of "Sin Spin." This is a part of our intentional selfish inclination or motive to sin called iniquity. Iniquity is not only the action but also the character of that action. Being wrong is not a sin but all sin is wrong. There are many deceptive, hidden and perplexing ways sin manifests itself in our natural tangible world. Iniquity is the personality of that particular sin. It is the very energy, impetus and desire aroused as sin. "Sin Spin" is driven from the imagination, as is all of our creative energies, and as such the severity of the sin is determined by the psychic severity of the spin. One remarkable aspect or effect of the "mystery of iniquity" seems to be that so many people are being so easily deceived by seemingly simple psychological and psychic manipulation. Only through iniquity can the idea of "necessary evil" be conceptualized or embraced. This property of iniquity allows the perpetuation of "evil practices" in good conscious. Iniquity is the spiritual expression or attitude that gives form to the "feeling" of the sin within our thoughts and acts. Iniquity can be regarded as having a comorbidity with our body, soul and spirits relationship to sin. ![]() Here are some hard truths. Are we ready to sacrifice our opinions, feelings or beliefs in the light of these truths. Our government has succumbed to a "spirit of division." Being divided and not working as a team at this critical stage of the game is at the core of the problem. The proletariat (that's the voters) followed suit and have allowed and accepted this divisive "spirit of politics." Although there is "no such thing" as a neutral position in spiritual matters the voice of the Church seems to be very quiet about what's going on. This means that as a nation we have abdicated our moral authority. This nation has chosen to selectively Sin Spin its history in spite of the resurgence of its unresolved issues which recently resurfaced. We should accept and deal with our dark past but not celebrate its villainy. At this time we are not following Jesus, Allah, Jehovah, Gandhi, Mohammed, The Dalai Lama, The Pope or principles from any other of today's spiritual leaders. So what are we following? We now know that as Jesus said if we are not part of the solution we are now a part of the problem. Anyone can see that the moral backbone of America at best is weak. Regardless of the circumstances, issues, policies or politics; the richest nation on earth has failed to protect its own most vulnerable people. When a family, community, city, county, state, region or country fails to provide for the weakest portion of its population, we might as well start aborting or killing any handicapped child at birth and exterminating any of our senior citizens unable to meet certain mental and physical health standards. It's sad that it hasn't occurred to us that when our weather forecast include air quality reports, it indicates that we're actually polluting our own shared air. Greed has taken priority over need and we have embraced its blindness. We all have chosen at one time or another, whether consciously or unconsciously, to remain unseeing in situations where “we could know, and should know, but don’t know because it makes us feel better not to know.” No team can successfully function this way. Blindness can be a physical, mental or spiritual condition. Many times it's simply a matter of will.

TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM - TRUTH OR DARE![]() All life has intelligence! This is the premise of this post. Anyone disagreeing with this statement ought not waste their time reading pass this point. When we refer to life we are including everything from rocks to reptiles and from all matter to mankind. Most people do not consider inanimate objects to be alive. Things like minerals, metals and mountains are often regarded as dormant, but they play a major role in sustaining other forms of life. The attributes of life exists across multiple platforms. There is no rational way of proving any depiction of the "act of creation" or to define God. Whether we view life under the influence of a "single source or controller," "shared sources or controllers" or "something in between," we must acknowledge that life has order and is not arbitrary. It is obvious that life is intentional. At every turn and in every way imaginable we see some form or some evidence of life's expansion into the universe. Nothing in the "universal order of things" is random, everything has a purpose including diseases. If we consider "existence" itself as "life" then we are open to understanding how each of the "forms of life" has its own intelligence and mission, including viruses. Every "form of life" has dominion and authority over the area, arena or territory subjected to it. Its purpose for existence is within its design and function. The Bible declares in Isaiah 55 verses 10 and 11; "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The laws of physics and science often define those limitations. SCIENCE allows us to apply discovered laws to explain phenomena, make inventions, forecast weather and deal with diseases. SCIENCE IS A SELF CORRECTING APPLICATION THAT'S DESIGNED TO REFINE ITSELF INCREASINGLY AS IT TRAVERSES ALONG THE PATH OF DISCOVERING MORE AND MORE TRUTH. The "creative expansive" aspect of the universe includes man's input and influence. In reality, man's "creative expansive" nature seems to have gone haywire due to our disregard for its overall effects. After all, humanities history is full of episodes of exploitation, epitomizing our "creative expansive" propensity. It is futile to work against the cumulative master plan that all of nature in coordination with the universe is in the midst of executing. In that all of nature is in harmony, working together towards a collective goal, we need to be aware of what it is and how to get with the program! If we fail to do so, nature itself will use us to produce our own disinfectants and sanitizing agents against ourselves to purge ourselves from the planet, like a virus does. It is our conviction that all of nature, every part and every form of life is intentional. SCIENCE is the method we use to examine, establish and investigate these beliefs. PEOPLE CANNOT CHANGE THE TRUTH, BUT THE TRUTH CAN CHANGE PEOPLE.![]() In that every "life form" has a purpose and an intent, it would stand to reason that some level of intelligence is contained within it. This implies that its aim or its mission is intentional. Once we establish the objective of an action we can begin figuring out how it works, whats behind it and what drives it. Anyone who has followed our posts knows that we've established the notion and embraced the fact that BEHIND ALL CAUSATION IS SOME SPIRITUAL ELEMENT! The reality of what appears as the culprit behind so many of our dilemmas are secondary causes. SCIENCE explains and illustrates spirit's plan. Everybody has a plan, but that plan must coincide with life's bigger plans and purposes. Failing to see the real cause behind an occurrence means that our response to the occurrence will be inadequate to meet the challenges it brings. Once we understand exactly what is going on and how it works we can respond intelligently. When it rains we act and dress accordingly. This differs from when it snows or is hot and sunny. When dealing with people we consider their attitude and personality in our approach. When dealing with animals we examine their habits and instincts to effectively coexist with them. When dealing with viruses we examine their signature and trends through data analysis. These are the fingerprints we use as criteria to investigate and deal with diverse situations. In the "universe of forms" it is important to remember that all forms are not physical. Life is full of all types of forms. These forms accumulate and create formations we observe as weather patterns, atomic or molecular bonds, constellations and an array of other combinations. It is shortsighted to assume that the manifestations we refer to are always physical or tangible. Spiritual manifestations take on all types of forms. When we perform, it is a synchronization of actions that conform to an established design or purpose. We live in a world of forms. Smaller or less significant forms join together as exact replications of one another and create uniformity in appearance and purpose. When we conform, it is simply the act of adjusting the expression of our presence, thinking or actions in line with an already established form. AS WE GROW, WE EVOLVE FROM OUR SELF CONSCIOUSNESS TO A SHARED CONSCIOUSNESS.![]() "Form" is a generalized all inclusive word we use to describes both ether and matter. Form implies that substance can be encapsulated. The word "information" describes how words can be arranged into a form of energy that empowers language. We express words in both spoken and written forms. Words themselves are simply an expressed form of thought. For our thoughts to have impact and meaning words must be arranged in a form of intellectual expression. To gain a proper perspective of what form really means we must see even "thoughts and ideas" as "sentient beings" which give form to shapeless matter. This expands our understanding of life beyond corporeal images. Thought is a primary life force form. When our thoughts are reformed the power of our thinking expands. There are no limits to thoughts, they always form things, however their manifestations are not always visible or tangible. Some thoughts can only be described as spiritual energy yet to be channeled. As spirit takes form it manifests its energies in life forms that range from atoms, single cell life, bacteria, viruses, feelings, emotions, images, odors, smells, temperature changes, thoughts and multiple non-tangible entities. Spirit can be imagined as the foundation of the ether or substance of atmosphere. It is shortsighted to continually imagine all spiritual manifestations to be material. In the Bible, the allegorical depiction of the creation in Genesis refers to how the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Water has no form. Water, the crystallized form called H2O, whether it was the same wet substance we wash with, seems to have already been present at the creation. We have to assume that this stuff called water was a substance that spirit could literally move on, into, have unity through and become one with. Water as a substance conforms; spirit also is shapeless; together they can assimilate any form and thereby have an unlimited universal reach. Intelligence exists in both the simplest and most complex forms of energy and matter. Viruses are intelligent! We have belittled this virus like a schoolyard bully but we have become the victims of our own devices. The virus has the bullying power over us. Our reactions are an insult to the intelligence of this virus. A virus does what it does in the way it is ordained and allowed to do. Dealing with intelligent life intelligently is how we must deal with this virus. It must be regarded and respected as the intelligent life form it is. Consider the idea that all intelligent life has a mission along with the power to accomplish it. We are under the control and curse of the coronavirus until we learn more about it. OBEDIENCE ILLUSTRATES THE BLESSINGS OF APPLYING PRACTICE TO PRINCIPLE.![]() Just as Pharaoh hardened his heart as the ten plaques came upon Egypt, so mankind today is revolting against the judgement of the coronavirus. This is a curse! Not from God, but a self inflicted malady we are reaping due to what we have sown. A simple analysis of the spiritual conditions leading up to the release of this curse provides us with a transcendent pathological timeline. Today, as in the days of Noah, few are heeding the call to repentance. Plagues are designed to infect offending forms. The first plague upon the Egyptians took on the form of the water it infected. Each of the plaques imposed upon the Egyptians were specifically and symbolically engineered to destroy the individual forms they worshiped. Our form, systems and way of rule is under viral attack. Our government is trying to get back to a corrupt, disintegrating, self destructive form of existence called "normal." "Normal" is broken, but the drastic overhaul that "normal" needs has not been realized. The problems themselves are beckoning us towards the solutions. It must be understood that the remedies must take on the form of the maladies and be globally addressed and embraced. To continue to deny or disregard our inter-connectivity to all of life and the existence of invisible life forms puts us back in the same position we were in prior to this curse. We owe our planet, plants, minerals, animals and populations of people a profound apology for how we've exploited them. This virus has the power and authority to infect and engage any force within its realm. We would be foolish to think we can impose our will or standards upon it. We must submit to the lessons and limitations that this new realm imposes upon us. And we must face the reality of the complications that are coming with it. If we respond appropriately, our current conditions will direct and lead us along a path of correction that concurrently addresses our present crisis while simultaneously providing remedies for other emerging issues. We have a moral obligation to commit to a form of consciousness in harmony with universal order. The ramifications are clear; we can change, evolve and learn a new way to live, or we can continue on our present course and chose to suffer. This virus is nature's way of instantly leveling the playing field. We must understand how connected we are. A threat to life's order anywhere is a threat to all of life everywhere. Hopefully the "math" revealing the truth about the proliferation of this virus doesn't outpace the "science" behind our ability to contain or control it. WE SHOULD NOT ONLY TAKE HEED TO WHAT WE FEAR, BUT ALSO TO WHAT WE HEAR.![]() There is a field of study that works through scrutiny It looks at & e-v-a-l-u-a-t-e-s the way things seem to be. ![]() This self correcting method interprets what we see "never the same" its claim to fame disputes c-o-n-s-p-i-r-a-c-i-e-s ![]() Our daily observations conclusions that we find can reinforce the biases contained within our minds. ![]() But there's a real solution with candor for compliance it's not aloof but demands truth It's called the art of science. ![]() It has no fixed agenda it seeks and follows fact the truth is its religion BELIEF is its impact. ![]() Why is it always changing?

PURE PERSPECTIVES CAN ONLY BE SPIRITUALLY PERCEIVED.TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM - TRUTH OR DAREWe endeavor to present each of our posts from practical and factually based spiritual perspectives. So little of our world's communications, correspondence and exchanges are spiritually based. We don't believe in spirituality because it can be visibly seen. We look at things spiritually because through it EVERYTHING else is seen more clearly. Rather then envisioning ourselves as givers of truth, we prefer to be seen as pointers towards truth. We must train one another to think and not do the thinking for one another. Our goal is to point others towards their very own epiphany. Nothing here is written in stone. We take no credit for the source, only the synthesis. Our perspectives may be applicable but our conclusions are not considered to be all encompassing or complete. We are practicing taking a stand. If we do not stand for something we are liable to fall for anything. Anyone desiring to stand for a principle should begin by taking a stand for truth. Today's world is in need of people who can see beyond, and past "secondary causes" and deal with the "primary effects" we are facing today! This can only be done through learning from hindsight, developing insight and heeding foresight. Things that may not be visibly apparent can still be visualized through the oversight provided by a spiritually awakened mind. LOOK AND LIVE - THEN LISTEN AND LEARN - THEN LOVE AND LOOK ANEW - IMAGES LIEMany of us forget that man's nature, that is his natural/normal state of existence and operation, is primarily spiritual. Unfortunately, not being taught or told this from a very early age we learn intellectually to grow out of this manifest condition rather then growing further into it. Spiritual laws govern the universe. Ignorance of spiritual law does not exempt us from the ramifications (resulting effects) good or bad of those laws. Whether we obey or violate any spiritual law, they continue to operate impartially without any favor or bias to the righteous or the reckless. We will examine seven synchronous states of development that most of us experience in our spiritual journey. We will work from the premise that humanity is endowed with undeveloped spiritual abilities at birth in the same manner that our bones, brains and muscles are in their infancy and grow over time. The world suffers today from a lack of spiritual understanding that is "invisibly" dismantling harmony, unity and love. Dealing with the symptoms/effects rather then the origin/cause has us in a perpetual cycle that we periodically repeat until another crisis forces us to deal with it once again. As a newborn baby, although most of the basic bodily functions are operational, sight develops slowly. Seeing is believing as they say, but faulty vision naturally or spiritually results in erroneous interpretations. Our sight is generally regarded as the most important of our senses, due to the fact that we think in pictures. Many senses take weeks to develop and even longer to begin to use. However the life force within an infant instantly communicates and interacts with the shared life force of the universe. We touch, hear, sense and share our sensory faculties willingly with infants. After all, who doesn't like the "feeling" of interacting with a baby? Sensory stimulation is not only physical but is also spiritual. Unfortunately babies will not have developed the language skills or capabilities to verbally express or relate this spiritual phenomena in the earliest stages of this state. We as parents, being unaware of these "happenings," generally fail to nurture such attributes. The result is that as time goes by life's distractions stifle the development of this wonderful ability. The general exception is found in twins who tend to maintain their psychic connections with one another. What we experience in childhood is the first level or step in our spiritual journey. Think back to being a child. Our will and imagination allowed us to invent invisible friends that grownups were not able to see, but we could talk with and confide in. Our spiritual growth gets stifled when our spiritual journey is sidelined in favor of academic or material pursuits. This is evidenced by the vacuum we've created in our society today. This gap is quickly being filled with divisiveness and hate. Only when collective thought is accepted and individualized, does it become the consciousness of the culture. The characteristics of a compassionate, cooperative, interdependence and unified government can only be achieved through the consciousness of spiritual unity. This is the missing link in our politics today. We cannot come together as a country without addressing the proper spiritual foundation needed to unify our hearts and minds with a common cause. Examining each of these seven states will provide us with the signs or symptoms that will advise us on how they work or if they're present at all. We all are subject to the limitations and states of both natural and spiritual laws of the universe. Some of these laws seem separate but in reality they are all intertwined. As triune beings we are constantly operating within three realms whether we are aware of it or not. There are distinctions that illustrate the minor differences between our three states of existence. In physics or the "tangible" realm there is a law we called "Newton's Third Law" that states "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." In the "intellectual" realm we call that same law, the law of "cause and effect." In the "spiritual" realm we label this principle as the law of "sowing and reaping." There are many ways to evaluate our status or gauge our current spiritual state. People who are generally accident prone and/or always seem to be surrounded by drama or trauma use the "law of attraction" and it's universal force of "yin/yang" re-balancing to accelerate an ongoing cycle of present time reaping and sowing. These are the same individuals who complain that they cannot find peace because they consistently invite upheaval to calm circumstances. Whether they are aware of it or not, their normal routine in life encourages and maintains a type of behavior which engages conflict. Another spiritual stage, status or state involves the "practice of our preaching." Our Spiritual power and effectiveness is directly tied into the fulfillment of whatever we proclaim or say we intend to do. We are tied to our tongue. Talking, conversation, opinions, recitals, stories and tales whether oral or written fall under this category. Words, in any form, have tremendous power. Whenever and whatever we articulate, whether negative or positive has "creative qualities" that begin operating the moment the words are uttered. This is why both liars and truth tellers can influence people to believe them regardless of the accuracy of their claims. The creative power of words and images influence thinking and form beliefs that people may embrace for a lifetime. Speaking and doing are synonymous in the spiritual world but in the natural tangible world of physical existence we tend to separate them as intentions and actions. The best measure of a person's character is most clearly determined by how closely their words and their actions align. Not just in the important or weighty promises they give, but in their everyday affirmations and pledges. It is the everyday minor declarations like I'll call you back" or "I'll be there at such and such a time," that most closely characterizes this state. People who are generally late, constantly demonstrate and reinforce this obvious lack of character. Consciousness is a state of being awake with an awareness of ones surroundings. It involves physical presence and mental acuity. Consciousness works directly in sync with our thoughts. Thinking, along with the awareness of our thoughts requires the energy to intellectually process and evaluate any situation. Thinking is guided by teaching that is based on the reasoning and the standards of society. Thoughts have the capacity to become things and abhorrent thought will always produce abhorrent things. The imagination is unlimited, and without guidance or restraints can corrupt or create. Most inventions were birthed through the process of thoughts followed by words followed by works. Although we listed this third, it is inextricably tied in with talking and acting on intentions. There is no specific order we advocate here, but there is order in the operations of all seven states. Thoughts turn into things through the transfiguration of energy. Sometimes the observed effect from something that was caused, BLINDS us and keeps us from seeing the true source from which it came. What was actually the primary cause of the observed effect gets spun into something else through a false narrative that hinders the discovery of the true and primary origin. We see this phenomena in our remedial response to crisis's rather then having a preventative approach. We see it in our news reporters and politicians who skillfully maneuver around questions that are never directly answered but spun it into comments connected, related but obfuscated. Every stage of our existence is subject to whatever spiritual state we find ourselves in. Hope tends to be the most misunderstood spiritual attribute of all. Hope can take a little implication and apply it to a lot of expectations. More then just wishing, hope has the intangible substance and designs of desire. Hope makes possibilities that faith can be applied to. Hope requires no indication or signs of itself. Hope is not a dream but gives substance to them. Having hope is a sure way of finding faith. As a down payment, hope is solid collateral. However all further installments must be made in faith through works. Many of today's entrepreneurs and leaders use or manipulate hope's power of expectation. Hope is a great motivational tool. However some politicians abuse this power to create images representative of what we want without the substance of its realization. It's easy to double talk hope. Everybody seems to know something about faith. It's a part of athletics, politics, religion and even science. Faith tends to be the most misapplied spiritual attribute available to us all. The main characteristic of faith is that it does not work alone. Faith partners with love, works, hope, thoughts, actions and any other act that utilizes it. Although exercising faith takes practice, it does not have to be practical. When faith walks alongside a cause it becomes a catalyst for that cause and takes on the characteristics of a locked and loaded gun. Pulling the trigger is easy. Faith simply requires an object or goal to apply it to. Those who believe that faith works through thought and desire alone will put their confidence in others expecting them to do the work and hoping that the end results will materialize without much of an effort on their part. We can identify the application of this level of faith by the way people respond to difficulties. Whenever things don't work out as expected these believers resort to blaming the object of their faith. These are the same people that say "they" this or "they" that, making themselves blameless and powerless in making a difference. These are those who not knowing what to do, generally sit back and do nothing but complain. These people have yet to realize that we do have the power and simply need to exercise our faith to use it. There is no static state of spiritual development. EVOLUTION IS INEVITABLE! The standing, state and status for continual spiritual enlightenment is growth. Spiritual growth or evolution dramatically differs from the typical definitions or meanings we give to growing. As we develop our spiritual senses they inform our consciousness about the presence of intangible forces at work behind the physical manifestations we observe. There are no natural tools that we can use to measure spiritual growth. Our individual spiritual state has a cumulative aspect to it that influences our consciousness. Our collective spiritual states or cultural conditions consists of our combined consciousness. This is easily seen by observing the conditions or status endured by the least of our neighbors who live on the same planet. By default, the dictates of "universal principle" demands that we evolve with the rest of the universe as it changes. We MUST pay the price of true and immediate change. If we fail to pay the real price for change we will be forced to pay the ULTIMATE price for not changing. The spiritual status of the world today can be easily observed through the reflections in the mirror of worldwide conditions. What many people fail to understand is that all simultaneous worldwide events are spiritually connected. The way we deal with our maladies or remedies has a universal effect that permeates all consciousness. It is easy to gauge the collective spirituality of the world by how we cooperate with, respond to, treat and love one another; particularly during a crisis. There is one constant state of "spiritual power" which serves as the glue for all spiritual expression. This is the "spirit of love." The act of Loving is last on our list, but it is the most significant of all seven associated spiritual attributes we're examining. Love is not a feeling. Although we can "feel" love, the feeling itself is not the source of love no more then heat is the source of a fire or wet is the source of water. When we interact in love there are attributes or by-products that always come along with it. When we speak about "love" most people focus on the common emotional aspect associated with families and personal relationships but not how we treat our neighbor. This post is specifically about that aspect of love; the acts of love we show towards our neighbors. What we are strictly referring to is the responsibilities of love. This is how "love" treats changes to life. The most powerful force in the universe comes with a caveat. LOVE IS NOT UNCONDITIONAL IT COMES WITH A PREREQUISITE OF RESPONSIBILITY! Love is the glue of all creation. When love is engaged love connects to the objects of its expression and harnesses the energy of the universe harmoniously. When love is abandoned or not properly applied to whatever endeavor we participate in, the blend dissipates as the amalgamation unravels. Without "loves" glue the collaborative spirit of independent energies working together interdependently while they maintain their individuality, fails. Love is not free, it comes with a price! It can be "freely received" but it costs to give it. Love has a sharp side to it. Love looks past favor, taking sides, privilege or social status and love accepts criticism. Many of our world's worse failures, deviants or narcissistic individuals developed and grew in an environment deprived of corrective love. Even the presidents ability to govern is assuaged and tempered by the power of love. This is why all obligations of loyalty must ultimately be to the people and not the president. A diminished loss of love for the people is generally followed by a loss of love from the people. This administrations failure to embrace imperfection and face disagreement gracefully hinders the operation of love's sensitivity and fosters a consciousness that seems to lack empathy. With half of the country opposed to "whatever" the president does and the other half of "so called" supporters holding their positions or just going along for the ride, it is almost impossible for love's unifying glue to hold everything together. People against the president are refusing to express any love towards him or any brand he affiliates with; and those aligned with him aren't willing to pay love's price that sacrifices ego and feelings. Who will speak up in the interest of infusing love's cares and concerns into the consciousness, conventions and conversations of our leadership. Just listen to the news, most presentations are one sided! Love doesn't take sides. Love stands both for and against. Love allows us to stand for a person while standing against their behavior. Love allows us to stand against loved ones in order to stand for the truth. Love comes with a cost. Remember God so loved the world that God willingly sacrificed for it. That's the price Jesus paid for us (The U.S.). The truest and most important aspect of love is the sacrificial part of it. The most powerful binding and cohesive aspect of love demands responsibility to its true call. Do we really want to know what love is? And better yet do we want to pay the price to show it? The presence of love is characterized by balance and harmony. Although there are many imitations we can discern its real duplication by those attributes in 1 Corinthians 13th chapter. Because love is so broad and encompasses so many characteristics, we often attempt to describe love in terms of what it is not. All actions and behaviors are subject to the "law of love." This is the law that sets the standard for all thoughts and feelings. Everyone and everything is subject to it. Although we tend to constantly fall short of its standards, it cannot be ignored. It's not difficult to tell when love's standards are being stretched to account for or allow error; disharmony always results. Manifestations do not lie. They are the real effects of cause. Without us having to uphold such a high standard for love, the world would be so imbalanced that God would be forced to remove man from the face of the earth in the same way he removed Adam and Eve from the garden. One of the main tell-tale signs of love is harmony. Whenever we witness disharmony it is indicative of a lack of love.
