Hay-Ku Day (Spiritual Activism)

Looking for outside

Fixes to inside problems

Cannot help but fail.

Knowing the Whole serves

To integrate all the parts

From the inside out.

The Government is

A surrogate for God for 

Secular humanists.

[Rich Note: Although I've tried very hard to say out of the political circus (mud-wrestling and slinging contest) this Presidential election has become (in the name of "Thy Will Be Done"), when I hear a "spiritual guide" I highly respect echo the media's slanted, virulent, emotional attacks on Donald Trump's character and personality, while totally ignoring the substantive issues, I could not help passing along the following observations.]

Re: (With respect to mixing the spirit and flesh with respect to political and social issues.)

"Guess that all depends on whether ones political or social stance is inspired by the Spirit or residual carnal conditioning. 

As for me, as personally distasteful as I find both candidates to be (and her track record and history is at least as bad, if not worst than his, both veracity and command-wise, if one does one's homework), as "icons of polarized, worse-case, political opposites," this really distills down to "Individual Freedom," as guaranteed by the Constitution; versus a continued, retrogressive slide back into "Collectivism, Socialism or Communism" (all of which, except for tribalism, have a 6,000 year history of utter failure), bought and payed for by 'bread and circuses.'

As to the macro, outside-in fix of "globalism" or the "new world order" our present government is pursuing,  it's really just the "old world order" that consolidates power in the hands of the same few, using the same aforementioned "bread and circuses" to convince "We the People" to unwittingly "sell our God given freedom and, thus, our souls for a farthing." 

In any event, Francis, "We the People" will get exactly what we deserve, as both distasteful candidates are merely outer collective reflections of our own inner, carnally focused hearts and minds.

[Rich Note: For anyone who might like to do a bit of "outside in" homework on the true nature of socialism, both in name and fact, here's a link to a "Goodreads" review of a book titled "The Naked Socialist":
