CW, a call for coast to coast unity and grace from the mountains high to the wave crashed coasts, in memory of Martin Luther King Jr.
"We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools."
"The person down the street who votes differently than you is not your enemy. They are your neighbor. They worry about the same things you worry about. They want their kids to be safe and their bills to be paid and their country to be a place worth living in. They have been manipulated just like you have been manipulated, fed a different flavor of the same poison, sorted into a different tribe by the same algorithm, pointed at you as the enemy by the same people who point you at them.
The working class Republican and the working class Democrat have more in common with each other than either of them has with the billionaire class that funds both parties.
You share the same struggles. You face the same rigged systems. You are being crushed by the same economic forces that have transferred more wealth upward in the last fifty years than at any point in human history. And instead of uniting against the people doing this to you, you are screaming at each other on the internet about pronouns and flags and whatever fresh outrage the algorithm served up this morning.
This is exactly what they want. A nation at war with itself cannot resist a takeover. A people consumed by mutual hatred will accept any authority that promises to protect them from the manufactured enemy. Every empire that fell was divided before it was conquered. Every free people who lost their freedom were set against each other first.
The red versus blue war is not real. It is a show put on by people who own both teams. It is professional wrestling and you think it is a real fight. The wrestlers go backstage after the match and laugh together while you are still screaming at the guy in the other section who was rooting for the wrong character.
This Is Our Country Not Theirs
This nation belongs to the people who live here and work here and raise families here and will be buried here. It does not belong to billionaires who hold citizenship in three countries and will flee to their bunkers the moment things get bad. It does not belong to tech oligarchs who view democracy as an obstacle to efficiency. It does not belong to foreign interests who have purchased so much influence that they might as well be writing our laws themselves.
We have to stop letting them divide us. We have to start seeing each other as fellow Americans again instead of enemy combatants in a culture war that was manufactured to keep us weak. We have to remember that the person screaming at us online is also a victim of the same manipulation, and maybe if we stopped screaming back and started talking, we might realize we have been fighting the wrong enemy this entire time.
Turn off the television. It is not informing you. It is programming you. Question everything, including the sources you trust, especially the sources you trust. Talk to people who disagree with you and do it without trying to win. Listen to why they believe what they believe. You might discover that the monster you have been told to hate is actually just another person trying to make sense of a confusing world with imperfect information, exactly like you.
Remember who you are.
You are an American. Your ancestors came to this land or were brought to this land or were already on this land, and regardless of how they got here, they built something together that was supposed to be different from the old world’s tyrannies and aristocracies. That project is not finished. Every generation has to fight to keep it alive against the forces that want to drag us back to a world where a handful of rulers own everything and everyone else serves at their pleasure.
Stop letting them divide you. Your enemies are not your neighbors. Your enemies are the people who profit from your division and are building machines to replace you the moment you are no longer useful.
Start acting like it before it is too late". —The Wise Wolf
Dr Martin L King brought us to a state of mind that a true unity was the building of brotherhood was growing. That was still in progress until a militant group called BLM came on the scene with the idea that violence was the new way and laid aside the teachings of Dr King. We now have a growing division of the races and smaller chance of unification each day that that division grows. The people need to go back to Dr King's way before it perishes under the foot of violence and unrest thus eliminating brotherhood.
I checked the TV reports showing the flames and people with armloads of goods fleeing. I also saw pictures in the newspapers of the damage. BLM is just another racist,terrorist group causing race problems in the people who should be united by now.
NOPE. What you saw was a small subset of rioting by only God knows who. The base and the whole premise of BLM is based on non-violent protests. I know enough of them to know. If anyone is stirring up problems it's folks like you denigrating a group that you obviously know nothing about. So I ask you again - stop flinging poo. Try to have a productive, fact-filled day/week instead.
“to know, to understand, or be acquainted with.” The word “epistemology is derived from episteme. Per Classical Wisdom
“When we become dissonant we beat against or push away from ourselves and our environment. We lose our harmony. Harmony comes from the Greek harmos, “to fit together.” When we allow ourselves to resonate with something, we are bringing ourselves into harmony with it. The inner experience of this harmony is an experience of our fundamental.” Beaulieu, p. 44.
Music was important in the lives of Socrates and Martin Luther King, Jr.
On Love, Gandhi wrote that noncooperation and civil disobedience are different branches of the same tree, the search for Truth; and God is Truth. “If we are unable to resonate or merge with a part of ourselves, or our environment, we become dissonant or dis-eased”. John Beaulieu, Music and Sound in the Healing Arts (Barrytown, NY: Station Hill Press, 1987), p. 44
IMO, we must remember that these gentlemen were writing 2500 years ago and we are unaware of the world dynamics exactly. Today, evil has been the dominating power. If we allow evil to win, then God Source will allow evil to dominate. We have a great evil show going on today with politicians not being held accountable because the people believed the MSM. We have an educational system designed to enslave the minds of our young, restrict free thinking, all while the politicians steal our wealth, create laws that take away our rights, and create situations that eliminate certain races all for control. I enjoy reading the classics but if we don't keep our eye on the goal, then civilization will not elevate itself to prosper as a group, and improve humanity. Leave the classics alone, enjoy them for being classics, and allow each individual to interpret these words themselves.

Hello? BLM was not and never was a violent militant group. You need to check your sources before flinging poo.
I checked the TV reports showing the flames and people with armloads of goods fleeing. I also saw pictures in the newspapers of the damage. BLM is just another racist,terrorist group causing race problems in the people who should be united by now.

Regulation of empathy and other emotions.
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Guidance of movement and assessment of intentions.

Equivalence of MSM and the classics? MSM (mainstream media) is a modern mythology.
