As I get older and wiser in life, I find a need to question humanity.  How did we come to accept that a celebrity’s life is far more valuable than a soldier?  Do we realize what we are doing giving so much to entertainment neglecting that which keeps life ongoing?

Yesterday, I stopped by a deli.  There I discovered a soldier who had served time in Iraq.  There were limited work choices for him so he ended up working in this deli.  He was disappointed with his choices in America.  What was offered to a soldier after serving time in Iraq did not come close to equating the finances received while fighting a war that led no where.   His need to survive and have a quality of life led him to believe like my son who also served time in Iraq that in order to have a valued life in America he would have to reenlist to have hope of a bright future.  This is very sad to me especially when I see how much celebrities make just because they entertain us.  What is wrong with this picture?

Here we are in a country supposedly a land of the free and the brave.  How is there freedom when soldiers are treated like scum?   I remember watching a documentary where a soldier had served in Iraq and received multi bullet wounds.  His spine was damaged badly he suffered with pain daily but was denied financial support from the government.  This soldier was living in his car.  He was homeless.  The story got to Geraldo and he aired it on his show.  It wasn’t until then that the government had mercy on him and made arrangement s to assist him in having financial support to survive in America.

We have celebrities worth millions of dollars and they do not have to work another day in their lives.  We doll out our hard earned money to them.  Why?  Just because they entertain us, are we that shallow that we do not realize they would do what they do regardless of the overpaid millions we pay because they would have to survive like everybody else.    America is struggling financially and it is not getting any better.  The hard working class is suffering because we do not realize we are living in a country that is determined to have classes of people.   The rich, poor and the decreasing middle class is what our government is determined to have at any cost.   Why?  IT IS BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR POWER, SUPERIORITY, EVIL, AND CONTROL.

 Wake up America.  This world is designed to own our souls.  Right now as we struggle to maintain our lives, the gas prices dominate leaving people in a state of desperation as planned by our own leaders.  Their determination to strip us from the right to have a quality of life is growing stronger as they rule our necessities.   If a soldier is struggling even after surviving the war in Iraq, imagine what is in stored for those who are not celebrities.           

LAST DAY OF VICTIMIZATION (EXCERPT)

Gripping the Soul

A HORRIFIC MOVEMENT HAS TAKEN PLACE MAKING US AWARE WE ARE AN INDIVIDUAL AND WE HAVE A SOUL.  It is a taking that mars our total being.  It carries the vibrations of a wounded animal dying with no value.  Immediately when something is taken from us a death-like agony fills our emotions and feelings.  It makes us aware of a reality beyond the body and worldly environment.  We come to realize what we are made of.  That part of us silenced by external influences now becomes louder than our physical environment.  We feel like we’re bleeding yet in many cases there is no blood.  Something is oozing coming forth like puss from an infected wound.   We try to stuff everything back inside ourselves but whatever it is, we can’t see or touch it to control and direct it. It is like someone has literary pulled our hearts out of our chests and held it in their hands.  We see them with it but we can never get it back; yet we are alive and we have to go on although this huge part of us is gone.

It takes hold of our total mind and heart and festers into sweet sorrow because we have been robbed of our natural life flow to experience the moment uninhibited by evil forces.  Bitterness follows in most cases because that is what unjust pain becomes. The instant preparation of a private abyss formulates to pull us deeper into the darkness of our agony.

 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.  Job 10:1

Doses of Reality

          As the time passed, I grew too weary to think about what happened to me; instead my interest was in what was it about me that gave my victimizers the signals I could be captured.   I went back to the nature of a child because children are the most sought after and innocent victims in the world today.  They have the potential to allow love to be given and received.  Children give us a chance to do the right thing for humanity. 

            Compared to a child, I found I as well as people I had talked to who had been victimized, all had a heart to do the right thing by people and life.  We tend to have a respect for God and our spirituality.  When I accepted this woman as a partner in fulfilling my dream, I was busy praying and hoping to be a blessing in her life because there was no pleasure for me being blessed alone. 

            Where I was thinking about prospering her life while we worked towards my goals, she was interested in her own progress at my expense.  She led me to believe the value of my dream was valuable to her as well.  There was not anything childlike about her presence.  Her presence in the world joined the other worldly conscious of greedy and selfish people.   

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1Peter 5:8

If you don't understand what is happening in our country, let me tell you. We are accustomed to only one stimuli and it is a rush in our emotional bodies. We have become accustomed to feeling sudden impulses of gratification with no room to feel subtle and calm vibrations. It explains why love has become so obsolete for most people. What can it do for us? Quick fixes are our answers to everything.

There are no more developmental stages for the human race. It is or it is not. There is no room for pondering or researching our souls for the moment's best experiences. This is why we have a larger choice of homosexuality. It is easier to find someone who can already relate to us in more normal ways than developing understanding of differences found in the male and female genders.

While we are out getting more things from this world we are giving away our individual reality to be at peace with our own existence. We do not want anything in our lives that does not get recognition from others. There is no peace in knowing we are decent, caring and loving people. What we want is orgasms, money and worship.

Our government realizes our values do not pertain to spiritual matters. It accommodates our need to be superior over another human being at any cost. That is why we do not get good service as often as we once did.  We are drawn in with kindness and once our money is released, many times we have to pray they will do right by us.  Often times, we lose in the process.

 Very seldom do we hear how wonderful it felt to love someone and this person loves you. It is so irrelevant today because what we live for is getting material things and sexual gratification. There are no other thriving emotions and feelings, at least not for the majority. If we talk about God, love, peace and spirituality, people do not have an ear for it because it brings no fulfillment.

When you have leaders seeking worship, money and orgasms, there is little hope in finding fulfillment in spirituality. As we strive for material wealth, we lose touch with things unseen like: loving your neighbor as yourself, we are one, judge not that ye shall be judged and a house divided against it self shall fail. There is no spiritual and soulful conscious left in the majority of the human race. What we have now is a species waiting for greedy people to tell us who we can and can not be. We are robots in the makings. All we do is push buttons and wait for the next signal. We’re coming to live for nothing.
