been trying to explain how things work with me and I'm never quite sure it gets through to people so I'll just keep trying.
Institutionalized Racism
Extrajudicial State Sponsored Executions/ Police Reforms
Low Voter Participation
Lower Life Expectancy
Gun Violence/Mass shootings normalized
Lack of Healthcare/ Affordability
For Profit Prisons
Low Wages
Lack of Benefits
Long Hours
Incompetent/ Corrupt Politicians
Concentration of Wealth/ Media
Income Inequality
Obesity
Government Debt/Deficit, Student/Consumer Debt
Monetary Policy
(40% of all US dollars have been created in the last two years, not that there is a choice but it's still a problem)
Poverty
Homelessness
Voting Rights Restrictions
Pollution/ Climate Change
Crumbling Infrastructure/Urban Decay
Global Immigration Issue
Global Hotspots: East China Sea, East Ukraine, Middle East
Historically low labor force participation and employment to population ratios
That's like 30 or so crises we are currently facing. The list is not be considered exhaustive and Im sure others would add their own issues that I've overlooked.
My point is this, while texting my best friend in the whole world (Hey honey:-) that list just came to me in a matter of minutes. (Ask her, she saw it happen) It required no concentration or thought or thinking in my head whatsoever. The list just magically appeared out of seemingly nowhere and was being rattled off like a woodpecker pecking at a tree, just, rat a tat tat nonstop for a few minutes till it quit.
It's kinda what:
"...mystic expansion into the transcendent. Union is essentially ineffable. In it, one no longer merely perceives and enjoys the transcendent (as with Illumination) but becomes one with it."
Is talking about.
I told my buddy David Lash when we had lunch at the Dizzy Whiz a while back that it's the weirdest thing, there is no thinking or praying to reach a conclusion, one just automatically knows intuitively what is going on with regard to an issue..
David said there was a term for that in his community (David's Jewish) but I can't recall what the term he used was.
All I know is I experience it a lot, no effort required.
Promise.
Also?
The post about issues and the one on Christian Mysticism were kind of like..."get your butt to the library and publish those today" (On their respective days). I hadn't sensed that sense of urgency in quite a while. Which leads me straight into todays post. Not this one :-). The next one :-).
Once again it was like, "Go tell em, tell em tomorrow, get it done." (Which is today).
Rest assured when I hear that?
It gets done.
