I'm going to try and repeat until it sticks. Thank you!

Making things stick is not always about repetition. Read the first section of this:

My friend the average person is: one to committed to the rat race, 2 the 24 hr clock what did i miss and 3 not interested in your totally cool approach to life and democracy. I love it and I will do my best to open the people I know that I think would be interested in your thesis.

You love it, my friend, so how do we reach others? From one perspective of life, your description of most is true, but from another perspective, they are not committed to the rat race and the 24 hour clock but enslaved by it.

Their heart feels the absolute pain bequeathed by this regime of hate and knows that an overwhelmingly important movement will transpose our country and nation to combat the evil.

My “totally cool approach to life and democracy” is simply void of the judgmental outrage so many of us suffer from. My outrage is from angry love for the blind on both sides. Our side because we believe we must “combat the evil.” The monsters we form of them reside only in our minds. Their actions are monstrous because they are blind and have formed monstrous images of us.

We must first win the spiritual battle in ourselves to transform our country before transposing it.

True, but many of us who took a wrong turn can be persuaded to come back.

From my experience in teaching developmentally disabled adults for over 30 years it requires the ability to understand how each student absorbs what you’re trying to teach. We have some individuals who are better at understanding by listening 👂🏾 versus seeing 😉The same actually applies to us the so called normal population.

Our bodily state is definitely relative, thanks for pointing that out, but in spiritual terms, we are all the same, with a spiritual heart that is blind or seeing and the choice to stay blind or follow the path that restores our sight.

We have only a partially seeing democracy. It’s up to the people, whether they choose to see that we are all names of light, each capable of understanding the Word of Name in us (God or Life).
