Well - do you want the good news, or the bad ?
The good news is that, yes, there are those ‘out there’ who have learned how to think for themselves, and know how to question - they are the true Seekers who refuse to accept the platitudes offered by those who would make you believe that they know better, and you should blindly accept what they’re telling you... or will quickly chastise you for questioning ...
[My favorite idiocy is when they bluntly get in your face and tell you NOT to question your Faith, for that makes you a bad person ... and if that isn’t a red flag that they’re hiding something, I don’t know what is ... But I digress ...]
So, yes - there are quite a few strong individuals that have been taught to question intelligently and discover a Higher Truth, AND use this knowledge wisely to live accordingly.
The bad news is that the rest simply do not care - they choose to believe the simplistic propaganda that is being spewed everywhere, and are blind to the consequences they are creating [not only for themselves but also for their own children] ... They only see the present, and refuse to consider the future they are creating.
They believe that “It’s not their job to fix it... that’s what Authority is for...” Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way... remember - All it takes for Evil to succeed is for Men and Women of goodwill to do nothing...
The time of action is now - do not waste effort in pointing a finger, accusing this or other Abuser of Power to be the cause of destruction. Do not waste time in the negative, but do what you can to make this a better world [even if it is a simple smile, or a prayer for Divine Light and Justice to prevail]... Live as the Light you truly are ...
Here’s what I really wanted to remind you all - that little thing we call Karma ...
We will - all - be held accountable to the Karma we are creating and promoting... So if you are one of the many who are abusing your authority and promoting conflict and separation, I’ll remind you of the teachings of the Master - “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”... and such you are creating for yourself.
Oh yes, and to the rest of us ‘idealists’ the same Karmic rule applies - As you have done to others, so you shall receive ... [Man, I love Karma ! the fiercest teacher out there]
And with that I greet you all with great appreciation that we are walking this Path of Light together ... Namaste
