As I sit comfortably, I wonder what thoughts would arise in my mind in this particular moment of serenity on my couch? Would the ‘crease’ of information cast a shadow over which thought would rule in that moment? Is that the most important ‘concern’ that must be addressed, or that thought that would make humanity lose ‘decency’ and ‘order’ rule the debate?
It is long known that Black people make calculations based on spiritual clarity for all given situations. Now the keys to this discernment was taught to all of us long ago in the ‘fold’. The ‘fold’ is the place, the energy, where the two choices lie. The barrier between the ‘fold’ is the darkness that separates called the ‘crease’. As Black people, we don’t necessarily chose the option that is free of ‘shadow’. Black people choose wisely between the two choices available because making no choice is worse.
So, we use a ‘pick’ to break the surface to know what’s underneath, or we use a ‘shovel’ to remove the debris and clutter that hides the ‘purpose’ beneath.
Issue 9: When ‘Two’ Are Wrong What Does It Means for All of Us?
The dichotomy of two things. Wealth and poverty are diametrically opposed. So is good and evil. This post will delve deep into why a benevolent creator limited our choices. We could go on forever debating the validity of confining human to very few aspects as possible, but we all can agree after some thought that it has saved us from ourselves.
Now bear with me because this post will be a little longer than usual. Wealth can be a bane or a benefit. The people of Iran believe their leader doesn’t love wealth, fame nor is he a boaster. A show boater he is not. Those words describe America’s lingering dalliance with ultimately destructive worship of false wannabe demi-gods like Donald J. Trump. The people of Iran by their culture reject such comparisons to a supreme spiritual being.
So when a President like Donald J. Trump, an immoral rotten to the marrow of his bones man, makes the people of Iran suffer; they emerge more assured and drawn to their God and his representative to lead them being their spiritual leader. They know an evil man, Donald J. Trump, has unjustly attacked them. That is seen as a day or days of glory which certainly will be written in their history as such.
What about Israel attacks on Iran as well? God did not bless off on Israel attacking Iran. No? Oh, so now you believe that because somebody comes to you and says a dude ten blocks over from your house doesn’t like you. You better go over there and shoot up his house and kill his family. Sound stupid? It is. That’s not how life works you morons! I don’t give a rat’s ass Iran or any other Muslim country hates Israel and vice versa. They’ve been hating each other for thousands of years! Is that an intelligent reason to drop a megaton bomb on the world’s economy? Good fucking grief!
You offend the nature of spirituality if you think God is supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu. I just pointed out an example in scripture referencing King Saul. Get the memo! This man, Benjamin Netanyahu, gave orders to raze the Gaza Strip to the ground. As a Christian Black man do you think I would celebrate such a thing? As a retired combat veteran, do you think that is honorable combat? Git the fuck out of here!
Benjamin Netanyahu gave orders to kill on site so much so that he killed two Jewish captives that were surrendering while holding up white flags! Let’s not forget a simple trait baked into our DNA. Everything can be as simple as right and wrong.
On wealth and poverty there isn’t anybody clamoring for wealthy people to be condemned. Moral people only ask that the playing field not be tilted toward the wealthy. Get that through your thick ‘dull’ skulls Republicans. Now let’s continue on to what is required to gain understanding. First. Do you believe that Donald J. Trump is a man of deep understanding and reasoning? I didn’t think you would characterize him as such a man.
It takes time to gain understanding. Understanding at its foundation requires practice. Strict practice for those ‘responsible’ for teaching and guiding the flock in spiritual ways. Question? Do you think Donald J. Trump could or would or did he absorb a spiritual nature or belief in any supreme being greater than himself? Of course you do not. Donald J. Trump has a carnal mind. Donald J. Trump has a ‘love of money’ mind. That said.
As our President, are we safe and forgiven if Donald J. Trump makes decisions in all our names? Obviously our suffering came fast and quick when he invaded Iran. Every decision Donald J. Trump and the Republicans have made has brought the wrath of God down upon us! No?
Our brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends, our children and children we’ve welcomed off ‘the road’ seeking care and comfort, have suffered! If you can’t see that, then I don’t know what God you’re praying to. Donald J. Trump doesn’t count because he is not your saviour, or he may be. If Donald J. Trump is your ‘god’, then may the mighty Creator have mercy on your soul.
Now I want to close with this about the United States Supreme Court and Presidents of the United States of America. Who was President when the Dred Scott decision was handed down on March 6, 1857. President Buchanan was President on that day. You know where I’m headed with this don’t you?
President Donald J. Trump and the Roberts Conservative Republican United States Supreme Court are staying true to form people. Oh Lord help me. Again. I see why the citizens of America do not trust the Press, or more aptly the ‘Legacy Media’. There isn’t even an attempt to provide the backdrop and motivations of Supreme Court justices’ agendas. Or even how history certainly does repeat itself!
You know what though? Just as the ‘Arc of Time’ applies to the U.S. Supreme Court as surely as it does to all our hopes and dreams. This U.S. Supreme Court will be corrected in the future as well. God willing there are just people born and those just people are being taught by just people.
It takes time to develop reasoning and truth. Age has nothing to do with it! That’s what makes the U.S. Supreme Court what they did in the time of slavery so extraordinary. The evil decisions and the good decisions. The same type of President we got now, and the U.S. Supreme Court being in cahoots will not last forever! America has had them working together to keep us away from a ‘more perfect union’ before. They will be defeated and remembered for their ‘acts’ as well. Not in a kind way I will add.
Plessy vs. Ferguson was decided on May 18, 1896 by the United States Supreme Court. That’s 39 years after Dred Scott. Brown vs. Board of Education was decided on May 17, 1954. That’s 58 years later. Those two numbers add up to almost a century of fighting. Imagine that? Now American citizens. Do you see the importance of voting now?
Americans. We must still fight when evil comes at us ‘sideways’ and ‘two ways’. Do you now understand there is no discharge in the battle of good vs. evil? Steel yourselves.
Nothing and no one will ever relieve me on that field of battle. I will be with you until my soul is finally called to rest! To be clear. That means I ‘pick’ the fight!
Be well.
