The Spiritual State and Conditions of America at Home and Abroad

Governments are not meant to be used to gain powers over people.  It is meant to be an instrument of communication that is a platform based on the common bonds and ideals of the cultures the nation makes up. Governments are not to be used as national weapons against other nations, putting the people of both nations at jeopardy. There is only one instance when war should be fought and that is when a nation of people fall under the spell of ignorance and selfish leadership, and that lost nation invades another nation, shall war be fought and only then.

Military power resides in a nations domestic resources supposedly, but with "free" trade tariffs and big business importing and exporting , other nations in the third world have been undermined by first world business dealings. Stealing resources from outside nations to fuel it's own military powers and this has got to stop completely. It is an invasion , evasive though , of another cultures way of life that puts their people in great danger by economic means and resource thievery. This is again , a government through its intelligence agencies using government as a form of weapon, against other nations by subverting their own citizens through propaganda to secure their backroom business deals.

Sovereignty is being undermined all over the earth , and it all ties back to government secrecy and the dangers that secrecy poses is not only a threat to other nations ,but also to the people of the nation in
which the government resides.

Abraham Lincoln has said, "At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher."

"We are actively discouraged from thinking constructively and questioningly, and once an individual has accepted the numb acquiescence so encouraged, an insidiously vicious circle has successfully been promoted. Another rather convenient result of such a situation is the people who don't think constructively and questioningly don't even realise it."  That was said by Michael Timothy.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."  --- Goethe

"The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionaries are philosophers and saints." ----William and Ariel Durant in  "The Lessons of History".

What follows are the symbolic meanings of places in the bible and how they relate to the inner workings of people and places today. All definitions are referenced from the"The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary" from Unity Books , first published in 1931.

This being a meditation on the spiritual state and conditions of America.

Galatia - "A state of thought that is not yet ready for the operation of the word of Truth. These thoughts belonging to the "Galatia" consciousness (simple truths) are expounded upon by the word of Truth, doing its quickening work in the mind and the body of the individual, is awakening these thoughts to life and to an understanding of the things pertaining to Truth."
Example:  The American idea of freedom is the simple truth that needs to be expounded upon in regards to defining what Freedom is in a common sense way , and through that inception, the ideals of Freedom being practiced in a constructive manner , beneficial to all and being founded on the common truths inherent in all humanity.

This in turn leads into: Cappadocia - " A union in consciousness with the substance of life, whereby the life activities and forces, the strength and vitality of the organism are sustained."
This brings us to resources and how resources are to be used in balance for mutual benefit and constructive community aims, and not to be used in a destructive manner where the vitality of the organism and substance of life is put at risk by the few who selfishly control and manipulate the many.

Asia - "Ego inflicted uniqueness referring to a state of consciousness impregnated (by ego) by old, decayed, worn-out, material ideas that should have been left behind long ago by the one who would progress spiritually. The East however brings out a significance that should not be overlooked. The East always refers to the within, the hidden , the spiritual, and aurora means, rise, dawn and beginning. All spiritual teachings have their first impetus in "Asia". Asia therefore must signify the inner, the spiritual, in individual consciousness wherein lay the beginning of man's conscious existence, and wherein lies the dawn, or rise, of the light and wisdom of spiritual understanding and realization."
 Here we can see how ego identification to teachings can become destructive and blinding leading into the fumdamentalistic polarization we see in the Middle East and in America. The Hegelian manipulated polarized interpretations arise and discernment becomes lost in the illusion of separation from what is, to what is not and yet seems to be.
Revelations chapter 17, v.8 - "...when they behold the beast that was , and is not , and yet is"  - meaning the beast system is perpetrated by the illusions of mind.  It is not and yet is seems to be, is a paradox because the new world order is a mirage that the elite are chasing on the horizon(or Horus), it has no roots in reality therefore it has no foundation to stand upon because it is out of accordance with the Universal Laws of Creation.

This brings us to: Bithynia - "(violent precipitation) Under the guidance of "The Lord" the redeeming power of spirit is not set into action in these dark states of consciousness (or unconsciousness) until neighboring thought centers that are more or less awakened to Truth , have been spiritually strengthened. This dark state of consciousness that Bithynia represents is characterized by its strong tendency to act hastily and impulsively, in a headlong manner, with out any forethought, with undue vehemence, force, and a lack of reverence and respect."  Hence we see America embroiled in wars that are based on bold face lies like 9-11 and the weapons of mass destruction mantra.
A society primarily driven by fear is an easy target for manipulation; fear is what is at the foundation of the "dark state of unconsciousness", socially and of coarse more primarily individually. To induce fear upon fear is what traps individuals and societies into the bi-polar corners of opposition through ego identification. The dysfunction is basically the same in how fear effects people and the "differences" are only seen in what is identified with. The dysfunction is the same for both polar opposites and from this type of atmosphere violence ensues, so therefore the destruction becomes mutual. (violent precipitation) The senses are trapped in external objects and ego- ideals, while the inner truths intrinsic to those caught in the polarities become lost in the confusion of object consciousness, that overlooks the Spirit of Life intrinsic to all living beings, be it the planet, animals, plant life, or human beings.
From this fundamental unconsciousness that gets isolated in either polarity comes criminality and the false justification for committing criminal acts against others, be it wars through polarized nations or the manipulation of others to achieve selfish gains.

Mysia  - (beyond bounds, criminal, abominable) "Beyond the bounds of reality, in illusion is where criminality manifest in action. Ultimately reality has no bounds for it is limitless, but those "stuck" in the ego attachment to illusionary thought patterns and structures, also suffer from the mis-conception, that to recognize and adhere to Reality is a form of slavery, when in fact it is the Key to Liberation and Freedom."

Patmos - (mortal) " a rocky island in the Aegean Sea where John received his vision recorded in the book of Revelations. => A place in consciousness where we realize through Spirit that the fleshly or carnal man produces nothing. When we are in Spirit the body is physically quiet, all sensation is primarily from the Spirit. So far as the I AM or spiritual is concerned, the physical is as a rock, void of sensation (object/sense un- consciousness) or "activity". When we still the outer we get the inspiration of Spirit within us."

In Timothy chapter six, the economic control grid, used to trap people into covert slavery, is exposed in stating the destructive ends in the lust for external material riches. Thus the desires of people are used to trap their attention on money. Therefore losing sight of the pertinent issues of the day and placing ones mind and life into the hands of manipulators, those being the politicians, bankers and businessmen; who in a fear driven materialistic society control the direction of that society through false philosophies of social engineering. The manipulations of society would not be possible if the people of the earth had not become drunk on the monetary systems wine of fornication, from the "old lady" of Threadneedle street. (One of the first banks in England known as the old lady , that refers to the harlot that rides upon the back of the seven headed beast of Revelations,G-7 nations unto the eight that comes making the G-8 
nations in chapter 17.)

Timothy chapter 6, v.9 "But they that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lust, which drown men in destruction and perdition."
v. 10 - "For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
v. 5-8 "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the Truth, supporting that gain is godliness: From such withdraw thyself."
v. 6  "But Godliness with contentment is great gain."
v.7 " For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we carry nothing out."
v.8 "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."

Food, Clothes, and Shelter for all should  be the goal. I wonder what the world be like when the economic structures and resources of nations are used in a sustainable way to feed, cloth and shelter all human beings, instead of the war based economies that vampire the earth's resources in  such a wasteful manner and at the same time puts  not only the human race in grave danger, but also all life on earth, including the planet herself.

To see in action what is discussed here I would recommend watching these two videos , "Taliban Country" from GNN.TV and then "Fallujah" from Novakeo.com. After viewing those videos I would like to direct you to this article the "Al Zarqawi myth". After reading that article think a bit about why the attack on Fallujah was called "Operation Phantom Fury". To top it off, this article by Paul Joseph Watson is paramount, British Special Forces Caught Carrying Out Staged Terror In Iraq?
