Salvation

It is easy to forget that God is in ALL of us, in all of creation. Jesus is not the only "divine" being. We are all divine beings living in material forms. That's the nature of this material universe. Jesus understood this perfectly, and was in sync with the divine energy (God) which permeates all things. 
Jesus' promise of salvation comes from each of us discovering that God is in us and allowing God to manifest in all we do .... that we are, so to speak, "children of the Most High" (Psalm 82; John 10; Gal. 3)), therefore of divine lineage. Salvation is being saved from being duped by the illusiveness of this world, discovering your true self, and opening your minds to the complexity of Creation in all its dimensions. Salvation is not a "free ride." Jesus teaches us HOW to be saved - it is our own work, our own discovery of the nature of Life. We choose, we live.

It was said ...

“See that you not be deceived,
for many will come in my name, saying,
‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ 
Do not follow them! 
When you hear of wars and insurrections,
do not be terrified; for such things must happen first,
but it will not immediately be the end.” 
Then he said to them,
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 
There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues
from place to place;
and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.”

Luke 21

America's Future

Education should not be a "business", but an opportunity for any American to develop their full potential. Society should fund the education of its children in order to provide for the future, generations of inventiveness, educated leadership and progress in every human milieu.

Health Care should not be a "business", but a funded service to keep America in good health so that we do not lose the possible inventiveness and leadership which disease and malconditions steal away from every generation. I recieved a bill, charging $573 for two sessions of PT (physical therapy), during which hardly anything more than consultation was accomplished. This is obscene.

Economics is the bane of this period of civilization. If the wealth of this nation is not shared, providing opportunities for everyone to excel, or just to live without financial stress, then economic inflation will eat away the good we have built like a cancer, and society will collapse. There must be ways of balancing costs with income so that everyone can live free of financial stress. But greed rules the day -  mostly out of a desire for power and control.

Be vigilant

Luke 17:

Then he said to his disciples,“The days will come when you will long to seeone of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.There will be those who will say to you,‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is.’Do not go off, do not run in pursuit.For just as lightning flashesand lights up the sky from one side to the other,
so will the Son of Man be in his day.
