I think it is natural for us to have different opinions. We need to remain friends with people though even if we are diametrically-opposed to their opinions. However there are personal limits depending on the situation. I think we shouldn't feel like we're divided - rather we should embrace debate. We used to in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Debates were something we admired and strove to be good at. It's part of good communication. We need to let our differences out, we have no where to put them these days as everyone is so busy being what they feel is polite but it's really dishonest. We should learn how to take criticism, that is a great skill and how to give it. People will get offended but is their offence the responsibility of others or of themselves? Reason is what we should aim for as it could make violence obsolete. Why are boys attracted to violence? What is it that causes this? Is it our culture? Because our culture is extremely violent, not just in physical violence but economic violence with people being homeless or without healthy food and basic comforts. Thanks for these talks Mike. It's really great to hear someone speak with sense and understanding towards everyone.
I havent been paying close attention, are most connected to big pharma? Who is the worst? Ive actually been doing my own little activism putting mini flyers on cars and gas pumps from www.VirusTruth.NET to help get the word out..
They are ALL ZIONIST ,GLOBALIST , CFR ,ATLANTIC COUNCIL APPROVED , WEF ALIGNED, Big TECH, CIA/MILITARY SWAMP CREATURES, SO OF COURSE MOST ALL BEING ENRICHED BY BIG PHARMA , or Blackrock , Vanguard , State Street and the criminal cartels working with them all on behalf of the BLACK NOBILITY FAMILIES who control everything at the top
It seems, the older I get, I become more this way.
The other piece is definitely LOVE.
Oh yeah, and the Box idea! I am an outta the Box kinda gal! Always have been. There have been times that I thought “if I could only be In The Box” life would be easier…more simple, less challenging… I always come back to unknowingness, breaking out of the box, considering the various angles, attempting to see a person for their humanness.
Years ago (maybe 30 years) I did a process out in Nature, “Alone Time” (can’t remember the official title). Anyway, it was a 24 hour process… at the end of it I met with the woman “teacher”, if you will… she came up with a name for me… The Woman Who Knows.
Pretty funny, eh?
Seems I’ve been jumping out of THAT Box for awhile now.
Being ok with others not being where we are in our journey is essential for our growth in our unity on this this earth. We have forgotten who we really are and our connection to our creator.
The Nazarene as you've called Him, who I know as Jesus Christ the Son of God, my Lord and Savior, regardless of His earthly province, also told us to love the Truth. If you love something or someone it's natural to defend it if defence is warranted. But it's all in how it's defended.
Danger is ever present in the world and if we embrace all as opinion or even as perspective the danger of embracing relativism is a quicksand that swallows truth. As there can only be one truth or there is no truth. So what do we do? How do we defend our true love? By growing in truth. Big, enormous truth.
While there is so much I don't know and mysteries I will never solve, the gospel of Jesus is simple though extremely challenging. The greatest challenge I've ever faced. In part because it has revealed me to myself. More and more as I follow Him on what He describes as the narrow path. That insight comes at a cost to my ego as I see the truth about myself and realize so does He. There is nowhere to hide. And yet He loves me more, shows me more as I face that I am indeed clothed in filthy rags of ego and pride and things I desperately want to hide not only from the light of day but from myself and He forgives me for all of it and draws me closer and I transform into my better self, becoming more like Him every day.
When He teaches to turn the other cheek, today as I understand it, that doesn't mean I'm to accept anything someone slings at me but to hold my reaction in order to transcend the violence because my first instinct, to react with equal force, to strike back, robs me of the experience of knowing what it means to be free. No longer a slave to the actions of another. So I offer the other cheek as well. Once I'm secure in my freedom and knowledge that no other person can make me do anything. I have free will. I can then choose how I want to respond.
I'm far from perfect at doing any of this but that's okay, too. As long as the truth is foremost in my heart and mind I know I'll be better at it the next time.
Thanks for your article. So interesting. God Bless.
Admitting I don’t know is a superpower!

I always come back to this, unknowingness.
Not Knowing.
