PSA-For my Allies with an Open Mind

My fellow humans and more importantly non-melanated colleagues and associates.  Consider a few things for me if you would. People who look like me are being harassed, injured, or flat out murdered for all to see. People who look like me were told they were less than human and regarded as livestock at one point and time in this country. Later, they were told they were 3/5’s human. Then they were told you can’t sit, eat, or travel in the same place by your ancestors. Some of your grandparents, or possibly yourselves were actively pushing this agenda.
    There was a time when we were segregated (in many ways we still are) and were thriving whether it be Tulsa or Rosewood (Google Black Wall Street and Rosewood). Your ancestors chose to burn our ancestors’ homes, murder them, and even use military force. When leaders peacefully protested your ancestors either hosed them, attacked them with dogs, or imprisoned them on false charges. Your ancestors also said and say, “Go back to where you came from!” This is the ultimate insult as not only did they contribute to our being here, they themselves did not originate from this country, and they murdered/exiled the natives of this wonderful land.
    Despite all of this, we are here now together, some of us are neighbors, co-workers, and also family(marriage/adoption). However, today we are divided now more than ever. We (melanated people), are told to pull ourselves up by our boot straps. This is insulting whether you realized it or not. Lending practices, educational funding, and the list goes on have been an at a major disadvantage to people who look like myself.  It’s as if you ask me to run a race on a skateboard and you are in a Ferrari. Not only that, but before the race, my ancestors had to help yours build both their financial budget, pit crew, and their Ferrari. Upon completion of the job I went back to my lane and got on my skateboard and headed to the starting line. To all those reading, please let that sink in.
    Fast forward to right now. We have rioting, looting, traffic jams, and violence all across the United States. Some of my friends have told me that people shouldn’t be out there rioting, looting, holding up traffic, and other demonstrations. While I too am not one for rioting and looting, I am one for understanding frustration. The recent murders of melanated people in my home state and all over the United States are despicable. You know what’s more despicable? Being told after several decades of peaceful protests, assassinations, and false incarcerations you need to find another way to solve your problems. It’s amazing to me that instead of addressing the source or root of the wrong doing, we are told to look at the symptom.
    Some will say the source is the murdered victim (usually melanated). They say if “Victim X,” would have listened and not resisted.  I believe we can agree that we understand that resisting arrest isn’t going to help the situation. However, if we do a quick Google search we will find countless instances of cops not killing people who are Caucasian. What’s worse, is that oftentimes the Caucasian’s behavior who was being arrested was worse towards the officer then that of the murdered victim. It appears that when it’s a person of color the victim is often put on trial instantly by the court of public opinion. The act of unnecessary force, the lack of suspensions for officers for repeated complaints, the lack of psych evals done, and the covert/overt suppression/omission of what really happened is the problem. You can’t have good cops if you have a broken system. 
    If you truly are an ally, first and foremost research the history and treatment concerning people of color. Second, understand our upbringings were different and that contributed to your reality. This means that your view of the world and your reality could be VASTLY different from mine. Third, understand that finding new information and formulating new opinions is a key part of life. In short once you have new information, it’s okay to change your mind. All lives matter is a blanket statement that ignores a specific demographic that is being persecuted. All lives are not facing systematic racism. Finally, if you were/or are a person who still feels that all lives matter, please try to understand that until those that society values the least are treated like those they value the most, positive change will be tough to come by.

The Pain Game Cont…(The Attack on Self/False Image)

This is the second installment of on an ongoing series that I feel is needed for healing(my healing and hopefully yours as well) and total improvement for society. Wow! That is saying a lot right there isn’t it? (Please note: If you haven’t read my 1^st installment of "The Pain Game", than please read Part I found on Facebook, and also here on blogspot.) Anyway, my studying and reading lead me here, and I feel that looking at our own individual mind is the key to changing both the world and ourselves.

The inspiration for this came from a daily lesson I'm reading from, "A Course in Miracles." Today's lesson dealt with seeing your true self as flawless and perfect and understanding God(the universe/Krishna/Allah/Christ..you fill in the blank) sees you. After reading the line above I was compelled to dwell on that statement. I at times dwell on things about myself and am my own worst critic. I rip myself harder than ESPN analyst rip Tim Tebow (blog isn't a blog without mention Timmy T nowadays..LOLOL). This likely holds true I feel for some other individuals out there as well. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I stopped and meditated on the profoundness of this statement. (biblically this is where some would insert a Selah to ponder this for a second...LOL)

Okay, now that you have meditated lets examine why this statement can be such a game changer when examined thoroughly. The Creator sees you as it sees itself. It doesn't condemn or judge as it only knows existence. It is always been and can't do anything to contradict itself, or else things would all fall apart. Individuals being like the Creator(if you believe so spiritually, if not the following is still revelant) have built in them by design (via the immune system) things to always protect the body. This is important because it speaks to the fact that all living things try to repair or keep intact themselves whether reptilian, plant, and/or human when you look at how the body operates.

If you are in agreement with the above then consider the following: we are hardwired to preserve ourselves by design, but yet our one area where we constantly go against this order is the mind. We sabotage our body's natural efforts of growth and optimal health by holding a false image of ourselves in the mirror of the mind. Often being the best D.A ever in the courtroom of our psyche and spirit. How many times (and be honest) have you second guessed your physique, talent, intelligence...and so on. I am willing to bet at least once. This thinking about our self is going against the design and natural order of the universe.

Now I hope that I have your attention. This process immediately causes division within the self. You have a image that you created, that doesn't coincide with the image of creation/nature. By going against yourself, you plant a seed of negative energy which later develops in the physical form usually as disease. Headaches, body aches, sneezing, and a host of other physical ills originated with wrong thought believe it or not. If one can re-member(put one self back together) themselves internally, than the external will follow.

Trees grow limbs and constantly take in the things they need to perpetuate their existence. A tree never self sabotages from within. How then knowing this that we as beings beat others and ourselves up so much. If we can corral the negativity inside of us, then we can stop it from leaking out into the atmosphere and spreading like a virus. This is why the biblical verse dealing with love thy neighbor as thyself is so important. If you truly love you, then you can't and won't go against yourself. If you love your neighbor like yourself, then you will only spread love, joy, and peace. Unfortunately, the world is so twisted today because, people don't love themselves enough or even at all so they only spread negative energy into the atmosphere.

What can we do to improve this situation for both the universe and ourselves? First, realize the truth. We often hold these thoughts about ourselves as if we aren't good enough. We are only experiencing this world as a painter does a canvas. The events are still just events. We give power to them by our thought process and intent. Have you ever been around people who just make you feel lets say, "A certain kind of way"? Some people lift you up, and some seem to drain you just by their presence. This is mainly a build up for thoughts that created an energy that stays with them and emanates from them (also known as an aura).

Knowing this power that we have (which is in natural not something spooky spiritual) in us that produces a change in behavior, which then produces a change in action, which results in a change in our natural surroundings, why would we hold negativity. It is almost like we are magnets one way or the other. We through our thoughts pull things into our spiritual field which results in a physical manifestation within the radius of our aura. The more attracting power you have as a person the more you affect your surroundings physically. Think of it this way, a parent who has a bad day can have a larger effect on the environment then let's say a toddler (even though sometimes that isnt the case children can have large auras as well).

I say all of this to say that this leads me back to Socrates (yes we have covered physical science, religion, metaphysics and psychology) phrase of "know thy self". If you know yourself, then you can recognize what you are displaying to the world. If you don't know and want to know, then look around you and ask yourself the following: Am I producing a environment of negativity, is my circle uplifting, and am I through my actions producing a world that is better or worse? If your natural eyes are seeing otherwise, then look at yourself and understand you may be short changing who you are as an individual.

The creation is like its Creator. The universe is not attacking itself, hence the meaning uni-one and verse-song. We have to innerstand(yes I said inner), that we are causing the environment. I have been on the wrong side of the law before. I have spoken to criminals and the system perpetuates negativity. Many of them say they were told they were nothing their whole life or they were surprised they made it this long before being behind bars. The negative aura in them is so bad and their belief is so strong in their own condemnation that they believe they belong. A prisoner told me once that when he was arrested that he thanked the officer as he saved his life. Now, if that isn't negative I don't know what is.

People our thoughts should be on those things that are noble, positive, self sustaining. These things bring both spirit, soul, mind, and body in alignment with the rest of the universe. It is written biblically that all of the known world is waiting for us and only us. So it must be that we through our dysfunctional thinking are contaminating the environment. This is why they say renew your mind. This is why we have so many messiah stories. They are to remind us of who we are. The tales of Superman, Jesus, Tebow (lol I needed another Tebow reference), and the like are all archetypes. They symbolize what the universe is trying to tell us we forget. You were created perfect in every way. If science, nature, metaphysics, pyschology, and religion all point to the same thing, then obviously the consensus is true. Be like a rudder which steers a ship, small but effective, and be change!!

Be perfect as your Creator is perfect,

The Pain Game

I don’t know why some of the simplest things spark something in me to look at myself, but I am glad that it does. I am sure you may have likely heard this before, but the formula of getting over and through pain is something like this: [OP=IA+A+ (DxB)]. Overcoming pain equals=Initial Act (breakup/divorce/death) +Anger+ (Depression x Blame). As I am sitting thinking about a situation which made me initially upset I started to breakdown this process further.

The act IA (initial act) is first an event. Let’s stop right there. It is an event, and only an event. I know that is tough to get pass, but all pain has to be chosen by the individual. We have to decide to wear it as badge. Almost investing if you will in the idea that it belongs to us. The first key to overcoming anything that happens to us, is first understanding what is really happening and looking at fine tuning perception. For example, when it rains and you forget your umbrella do you say, “Man this is some __ ___,” or rather do you say, “Oh well a lil water ain’t gonna kill me.” Understanding this first part of the equation is vital, and saves all future issues, but really we all know that this is a skill set that most of us haven’t mastered just yet.

Now supposing we move into the second phase which is the addition of anger. Why are we angry? Usually it is because we feel wronged in some way. This phase ranges in duration due to the person’s experiences and overall assessment of the situation and understanding. This one usually doesn’t last long. However, another individual may hold this angry coupled with the grief they are dealing with from the IA sometimes for years if they have angry issues or hold grudges (you know yourself so not you but your neighbor..LOL). So if we understand the reason why we feel wronged and what stimulates that, than we should be able to diffuse the anger. (Just some food for thought on that note)

Generally speaking, at this point we come to the realization of two things: 1) we are responsible for whatever happens to us, and 2) we beat ourselves up or think something is wrong with us. These elements spell disaster for some of us if we don’t know how to effectively communicate with the man/woman in the mirror. If we can’t do that, wise counsel is usually the next best thing (friend, family, or paid professional even).

These steps add up to our own self internalizing pain game. Conquering this game is simple yet complex. So for our review we first, change our perception from the outset to not even let the pain venture in. Secondly, if it does realize why we feel the way we feel which is usually anger and try to self assess or either seek wise counsel to help make the way to internal peace easier. Next, understanding that we put ourselves in the situation is key but getting down about it or beating oneself up about is never a wise answer. A final addition is to inner and overstand that by holding grief is blocking our vision and reception to be able to see clearly our way out of any tough time or situation.

I hope this helps those who read it,

The Abuse of Love and the Need for Caring

Love has many meanings to many people. However, in general the word has been watered down. The better word should be caring. A person can’t truly love and not care. Unfortunately, we have gone away from the understanding of love thanks to mass media and our own lack of knowledge. I will explain some various meanings of love from several perspectives: old Greek and Latin text, the modernized view, and the universal view. My goal and only purpose is to educate you the reader about this issue and let you, with the help of the divine gift you have been given called a soul, come to consciousness for yourself about the meaning of this word in your life.

The older view in Greek of the word love came in three forms: agape, philos, and eros. The first word agape is referred to as the love god has for his children and the love that we should express. This sounds nice on the surface, but obviously is rarely put into practice. The next word is philos. You may remember this word as it is the word use to describe the love you have for a friend or a brother. Philadelphia means, “City of brotherly love.” This is a pretty common usage of love and though it is usually not openly expressed with the word love, it is used and understood by those who feel that way about their friends or family. The last term is the word eros. This word deals with the lusting nature of love. You can find it as the root word erotic.

Now, that I have given you some Greek history about love, let’s look at the Latin words associated with our interpretation of love. I pulled two that I found on line and they both are unique. Amo or amo-are means to be fond of. You may have heard it in Spanish as amore. The next word I looked up closely related is the word adamo-are meaning to fall in love (LOL excuse me, this made me chuckle). I must admit that most of the definitions that come from the Latin context all seem to deal with a physical nature or passionate feeling. There isn’t anything wrong with that, but in today’s time we know these things all too well.

Fast forwarding to our time, we find that love has many meanings and thanks to our lovely media outlets we have taken the bait like a fish hook, line, and sinker (I know you are thinking finally he’s going to talk about more than boring definitions). I dated a girl once, and she told me to make LOVE to her. I did what I knew at the time which was called, "having SEX with her," but I never thought of our SEX as LOVE. I then hear young guys say, “I got love for ya......” I didn’t know that it was measurable. I almost want to ask, “How much love do you have. An ounce, or maybe a quarter, or maybe a kilo?” Then I wondered, “How did we get here?” I turned on the tube the other night, and a commercial was on stating how much you (the consumer) will LOVE their product. All of these are our modern versions of love.

The foundation has been laid, and now it’s time to examine the preceding information for its correctness and usefulness. We have seen love as Godly, brotherly, and also physically/romantically. We know that in most cases we use all of these in some way, shape, form or fashion in our lives. However, I wish to make the case for the only love needed, this would be in the form of CARING. Our media outlets, radio, TV, the big screen, and internet just to name a view have created multiple forms of feeling or attachment, but used the same word. I find this to be problematic to say the least as in my humble opinion; it has created confusion in our lives. We all have our differences of the meaning of this word, but I feel when we look at the actions that come with the word we will find clarity.

In relationships when we say that we love someone we are saying many things at the same time. First, we are talking about our responsibility to take care of or look out for that individual whom is the object of our affection. If we were to ask the other party,”How do you know he/she loves you?” The individual would give some list of things or situations where this LOVE was displayed. This leads us to the idea of seeing it in action as a way of understanding when one person loves another. The bible uses the phase in the book of Corinthians where it mentions love and how it does this long laundry list of things. A matter of fact some even replace the word love with the word charity. Now think about that for a second. As a matter of fact, take a minute or two and innerstand what was said in the above statement.

Knowing now that we recognize love by its works and its actions, let’s revisit the word I mentioned earlier known as CARING. Charity in Latin is amor (term of endearment), also it is a verb when the word liberalitas (courtesy, kindness, and generosity), and benignitas (kindness, liberality). In essence when we LOVE/CARE about someone, we are willingly committed to give/offer up ourselves for their well being.

How now do you feel about using the word love? It comes with a lot of commitment now doesn’t it? Are you willing to drive out late at night to be with those you love, are you willing to take a bullet or even possibly give up your life for those you say you love. Can you see the absurdness of the statement, “Let’s make love?” Is it possible that we have totally moved away from this concept? The universe operates in harmony (one Latin word actually is consensus). This is impossible without caring. The guy on the corner is connected to the guy in the white house. The man in prison is connected to the senator on Capitol Hill, or the young lady in law school. We have to care as we are all unique but yet all apart of the same massive cosmic whole. For example, the tree is connected to the waters, which are connected to the pipeline, which is connected to your house, and your body both internally through consumption via a glass or a shower head. I can run on all night about the various ways we are all connected, but I won't. Meditate on the connective unseen to get a grasp of what’s really behind the word LOVE.

That’s my take. What’s yours?

Control Vs. Power

Influence, Motivation, and Command

These words above speak on a few things that come to mind when I think of the word Power. I do apologize for it being such a long time in between blogs. I will strive to be more consistent. The title of this blog deals with two different extremes in my humble (but accurate) opinion that yield the same end result in our social and corporate lives. I will attempt to shed some light on the subject, that if understood can calm many disputes, and give one better insight about themselves and the world around them.

First, let us deal with the word control, which the definition I will use for this blog is, to limit or restrict someone or something. Also I will use an alternate definition which is, to exercise power over something. When I resigned from my last job (UPS) I realized that I was fed up with the controlling aspect of the employer, that I at one time enjoyed working for. I noticed that the tactics used during my last months at UPS were more and more along the lines of this definition. Meaning, that fear of unemployment, verbal or written reprimand, and loud talking were used to intimidate individuals. I honestly must admit, I rarely ran into this myself, I suppose because I was a pretty good worker bee.

The longer I worked there the more this weighed on me. I recently ran across a term that I am constantly in love with and seeking...SOVEREIGNTY. Most people view it as kingly or having dominion over something. Sound familiar. I am after sovereignty of self. I don't want to rule people, or be dogmatic, threatening, or even having individuals/groups under my supervision in the sense of control. I do want to work with people, instruct, and help them be the best individuals they are capable of being by the divine creative spark that lies within all individuals with souls(I actually think some people don't have a soul..LOL).

Sovereignty a buzz word that if you don't know it, and it's full scope I suggest you google it and its various forms legally, spiritually, etc...etc. One is empowered when they are sovereign. One is independent, first, and most important. The latin phrase for sovereign is Princeps Summus (adj. princep-1st,originator, or most important/summus-highest point, distinguished excellence). I know you want to know about control and power I had to take a side step to introduce this concept as you will need it to deal with the meat of my blog. So please be patient and think about what i just gave you in this nugget of truth called a paragraph above.

Now, we have established what control is, and also what sovereignty entails as well. let's look at power and see which one of these, control or power yields us closer to sovereignty(if you agree that control or power is something to pursue in life). Power can be defined as the ability to influence people's judgement or emotions, and also as having the ability, capacity, and strength to do something. This sets up a pretty interesting scenario as far as it relates to both work and our social circle.

I have family, friends, and others who are able to delve into both sides of this equation. The equation being one of exercising a controlling nature, or being a powerful individual. My mother is a classic example of this. She is a powerful woman who speaks with passion about what she cares for (sound familiar), and at the same time a person who uses what I call "control tactics" to have what she wants at times or to command respect from others. My father on the other hand, doesn't need to speak much to be heard (even though he does..LOL). He says something and people respond. It is like magic. He also too however, has a control mechanism that he uses where he plays on emotions to illicit support for a cause(if you haven't noticed yet, I am a pretty open person).

What does this all mean you ask? It's simple it means that we all have this nature to be controlling or to emit powerful waves of influence and strength depending on our nature. I would even go on to say it is our divine gift to make this choice and to exhibit this ability whichever one we choose. However, using universal law principles (another blog) I would have to lean towards power as it resembles the laws of things that just is without any extra additives or preservatives if you follow me. "If it is our divine nature, than why don't we always operate in power," you ask. Simple we were taught to be less when we are actually more, so we could be controlled.

I know I have your attention now. I will explain using my passion and second favorite pastime personal training. I have recently started training several friends of mine and their friends. I love it and it is picking up. My workouts are tailored around body weight and limited equipment. I also usually have groups of 4 to 6 people at one time. What I decided to do, so I can keep things in order(control), was to have them do the same thing the same way for an allotted time. This allows me to monitor them and keep track of them, by having them follow a set routine that keeps them (limited/controlled) and keeps me (sovereign/first cause/highest point/chief). If for example, everyone did something different it would be impossible to monitor everyone's form and make sure they are doing the exercises correctly.

Now, that you see how control and power works. Let me answer the question I failed to do in the previous paragraph. Since we entered this world/age/dimension we have been controlled. It all starts with our parents. Don't do this and don't do that. They do it really trying to protect(control/limit/monitor) us for our own well being. Then friends, teachers, counsellors, employers, governments, and the like add to this fallacy of looking out for us. I can't tell you how much fear a child can be taught just by the do's and don'ts club of society. Let's stop right here and right now of giving that type of advice and lean more towards a different approach.

The tactics outlined above about control are what we use in our relationships with friends and family. We then take them to our place of employment and corrupt our co-workers or rather reinforce the false paradigm in them. Ever lowering our chance to ascending to higher heights of consciousness and true evolution(power/sovereignty/universal supremacy).

How do we close this off? Do the exact opposite of the control tactics in your dealings with people. We don't have to threaten our children, friends, and coworkers with bad news or consequences. We can still relay the same message with thoughtful explanation and love. If you help someone innerstand something once, you will never have to help that individual again.

However, I believe we enjoy the control, manipulation, and fear caused in others due to our vampire like nature and lust for the illusion of power(ability/influence/dominance) of others.
We can shape the planet and send it into a different direction if we so choose. It just takes one soul with sovereignty and innerstanding of power and a will for self improvement of both others and themselves.

Let it be you.

They were looking for God but found religion instead...De La Soul

Good Afternoon,

As I sit here, thinking about all the things I have experienced and went through to get to this point in my life I laugh to myself. You see I have spent numerous minutes, hours, months, and years studying, praying, and digesting religious books of faith trying to find that being we call God. I have attended many conferences, seminars, and other things looking for God. However, what ended it up always happening just when I thought I could exhale my enemy RELIGION would show up instead.

You may be wondering what in the world is this guy talking about. Religion and God go together. I actually would have to say you are right. Religion and a god(notice lowercase) do go together like peanut butter and jelly. The mission that is set before us today calls for a bit more pratical approach towards spirituality. My job, duty, and pleasure is to expound on this great fallacy known as religion. You may like it, or you may not, but at least do yourself a favor and research it.

I spent most of my 20's in search of God(AKA the Universal Creator). I went to two churches during this time, I dont know how many seminars, and almost even joined cemetary(my bad) I mean seminary(freudian slip). I studied my bible, took classes on other religons just so I can convince them that they were wrong and that they should pursue the Christian way of life. Just that statement makes me shake my head. I was really a devoted follower of Jesus(notice I didnt say Christ).

Everything came to a head for me around 2004 when I was attending a mega church in Atlanta. I came across some information that lead me to question a few things. The dates of Easter and Christmas for example matching solar calendar events for Greek Mythology. Also, I found an article explaining the origin of Easter being an Egyptian Goddess named Ishtar(fertility goddess). I then ran accross the true setup of Christmas by Constantine and the infamous Council of Nicea(Please look this information up).

Wanting to be a good believer I went to my local church and just asked about my findings. I was told things like, "This is good information." Also, phrases like, "I wil get back to you." My favorite one was, "What am I to do with this?" As you can see I was getting the run around about what I thought were basic yet fundamental questions of the Christian faith. I sent an email out to about 20 fellow church members some of them teachers and I never heard back a thing. Not one thing. That was the last day I was a Christian.

Now that doesnt mean I don't believe in the Universal Creator, I just don't believe that its in an instituiton. Lets dig deeper into the rabbit hole shall we. I read up in detail on several religions, and then I saw some interesting similiarities. The first being that the 25th of December marked the birthday of several saviors. Also, that several of them had a virgin birth, then they usually had 12 followers. This holds true in Egypt(Romans and Greeks were influenced heavily by Egypt thanks to Alexander the Lame/Great), Greek, Indian Hinduism, and also Buddhism. After finding this information out I was really puzzled.

I dropped all hope for knowledge until one day I sat in a mirror and just as true as my reflection was there I heard it say "Look Within". I started finding metaphysical books and other esoteric materials that didnt point to a particular savior or deity, but rather pointed inward. Praticing looking inside, and using some of the tools mentioned in works such as the Bible or Koran(note none of them were necessary to find the Universal Creator but helpful since I knew the material somewhat). See in the bible there is a passage in Colossians that I will never forget, that stated, "Christ in you is the hope of glory." This is the most profound and truest statement ever written. You see when you do some research the word Christ was a title not a particular individual. It meant the anointed one. Another famous name Moses is also a title meaning to draw out and there were many who had that title.

I want each and every individual who decides to read this blog to kindly don't be just a reader, but a doer if you claim you want truth then you will have to dig and look under every nook and crevice because they don't want you to find it. The "they" that I'm referring too is a whole entirely different blog that will be quiet extensive, but will have books and references you can find for yourself to see how you were led to fall into a certain catergory. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The words Jesus Christ translates to, "God saves by his annointed one".
If you recall about what I mentioned earlier from the bible passage in Colossians and just do some simple reasoning than you should figure out that you are the, "Annointed One."

I want you to really let that sink in for a minute. I mean really let that touch your soul and then marinate in your grey matter for a second. Yes you are the savior. Remember the Matrix movie where Neo stated to the young fellow who was adoring him, that, "You saved yourself kid." That is the main point of it all. You saved yourself. No one went down into the depths of hell, but you. You went into your lower self and pulled yourself up when you determined you needed to change your life, kicked the habit, turnover a new leaf, etc. etc. The powers that be knowing that you will not be controllable with this information took that aspect of yourself and made it third person. Now you are looking to Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Horus, or Dionysys for your salvation. The sad part about it all is that the leaders in closed doors know this and are laughing it up to the bank with your time, talent, and money.

I will stop right here as I am sure to have ruffled a few feathers right now. I gave you many things to look up on your own. Start with whatever religion you believe in and go from there. Find the source of it. Check out the dates or timelines to see if any other events in history of great significance was happening around this time. Make this be a springboard to you seeing the truth if you don't know it already, or you could do nothing and be happy with things just the way they are. That is entirely your choice. However, I don't want you to complain around me about the way things are if you aren't going to at least research it yourself and try to make a difference for both your family and yourself.

Be Safe and Be Mindful
