Why Setting America Free Again – Will Require A Spiritual Course Correction

Dependence on Silencing others is the Indelible Signature of Deception

Nothing Great can Survive Deprived of Truth – including America

In Spiritual Warfare Truth is the only Super Power

Know the Truth and it Shall set you Free

SOVEREIGNTY: It is not surprising that after much exploration of the senses of taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell – the young stumble upon a new top tier apparition called words. Initially one word, “no”, dominates their elocution and is used to convey both objection and preference. Similarly, words are the primary means by which man (sapiens) ascended the scaffold of sentience in search of the imponderable – who am I, where am I from, and why am I here. The context of this conundrum makes clear that man is not the progeny of his own causation, rather the handiwork of a creator. Nevertheless, man’s affinity for personal sovereignty perseveres.   

It is not surprising that the Creator made it a priority to provide a critique of His super-natural works to man, the crown jewel of creation. The exposition included: Quantum Cosmology – time, space, and matter brought into existence from great nothingness, Cambrian Ecology – conjoined meteorology, geology, and biology, and Sapiens Anthropology – convergence of eternal (spirt and soul) and temporal (corporeal-synaptic) states – quickened by the creator into self-sentient life. His discourse on the super-natural means and methods that uphold relational plans and purpose, declare both His preeminence and love – I am that I am, I always was, and I’ll always be.

SUBSTANCE: Incomparable sacrificial affection characterized the favor directed from the Creator onto our federal parents. To further amplify our essential likeness and the depth of His affection, the Creator – whose very essence is love – granted man free-will (moral adjudication) and dominion (authority) over the assets and affairs of the earth. This was antithetical with the predilection of the amoral savant for self-glory that sparked a war of insurrection in the heavens.

The insurrectionist and his cohort would be the first to experience immutable and foreboding emotion – whose essence is fear – characterized by hate, anger, and terror invoked by the reality of eternal separation from the source of life. The enmity held by the exiled insurrectionist and his cohort for the Creator inspired new acts of insurrection in both words and deeds. These acts were designed to emotionally disfigure and marginalize the Creator, and to despoil His most prized and precious handiwork – man. The progenitor of fear would succeed in beguiling our federal parents into new acts of insurrection with a ponzi-promise of totalitarian self–jurisdiction.

SPIRIT: The expressive potential and power of words are self-evident. The spirit-to-soul realm channel, by which potent noble and nefarious engagement transpires, operates in a perpetually active transcendental state. While it would be reasonable to assume that moral influence rises and declines proportionately with channel access; it is not so. Not all engagement over this portal is endowed with the power of conviction, some must acquire it posthumously and fraudulently.  

The insurrectionist voice of the spirit of deception accesses this transcendental portal to directly engage the souls of men – fomenting cunning deceit about the Creator and about you to you. Its purpose is to inspire an insatiable appetite for amoral insurrection within the souls of men. The spirit of truth accesses this transcendental portal to reveal and illuminate moral principles and precepts directly within the souls of men. The spirit of truth summons the soul into light and life sustaining relationship with the Creator. By this, the soul of a man may be both alerted into a state of spiritual precaution and unduly alerted by the presence of that which is not as it appears.  

SOUL: The soul is the spiritual embodiment of the eternally existent you. This you might prefer classic over contemporary, muted over the vibrant, now over later, fast over slow, new over recurring, or find private expression preferable to public dispensation. However, this soul you – will not die peacefully or otherwise, for it is the corporeal-synaptic you that succumbs to illness and sudden calamity. Your soul will transition in spirit state to emerge in the presence of the Creator with your unique sensibilities, preferences, and characteristics in tack. This you will be free of burdens, sorrows, and dissipation – ready for joy, worship, and glorious new experiences.

You are the soul the Creator knew and longed to fellowship with before the cosmos was ever begun. Your soul is the repository entrusted by the Creator with His likeness, that nevertheless possesses uniquely animated reason, interest, and creativity. You are and always will be unique and uniquely valued by the Creator over all other souls. Only you have authority (free-will) to adjudicate that emanating from the spirit realm into the realm of your soul’s current residency.

You are also the soul into which the voice of Deception – emanating from the spirit realm – seeks to enshrine confounded adjudication. Delusion (pandemic deception) argues that the notion of two spirits – a creator and his insurrectionist rival – is imbecilic conspiracy. The voice of Truth – emanating from the spirit realm – seeks to enshrine judicious adjudication that confirms and conforms with the divine purposes for which you were created. This truth has its own power.

You alone have the authority to determine from moment to moment whether your spirit-to-soul channel will be tuned to the spirit of self-providence or self-surrender. The conflicted messages and influence these channels judiciously propagate have immutable eternal consequences.

CONSCIENCE: The choices we make are not only impacted by the spirit-to-soul channel we give priority and the jurisdiction from which the connection transpires. Conscience is not a place but a state wherein your soul exercises moral oversight over opposing voices from the spirit realm. You are and will never be more essentially you than during such states. Given self-providence and self-surrender are antithetical, only one voice at a time can superintend the resting state of the conscience. Claims of dual agency are but self-deception promulgated by self-providence.

Conscience aligned with self-providence empowers the voice of deception to takes captives and then foment division and disaster. Conscience aligned with self-surrender has spiritual authority to emancipate captives from deception, whereafter power, love, and sound judgement prevail. Conscience is the final frontier of free-will and therein critical to spiritual stability.

DISCERNMENT: No matter the resting state of our conscience, the primary purpose of the disunion and disambiguation propagated by amoral insurrection is to call into question the intellectual and emotional veracity of our choice for self-surrender over self-providence. While conscience can be corrupted by recurring spiritual instability, discernment derives from the super-natural object of our self-surrender and is free of such bi-polar instability.

Science provides the deconstructive discipline and processes required to plumb the depths of the unknown and distill knowledge; its many accomplishments are well documented. Self-providence has established knowledge as a means by which to master complexity (e.g., physical, biological, psychological). Self-providence seeks to disavow self-surrender and establish its patrons as the sovereigns of enlightenment; many clergy and laity now champion the religion of knowledge.

While knowledge reveals the means and basis by which natural laws govern outcome, wisdom derives from revelation of unobservable influences that are actively transforming outcome. Super-natural prescience is a fruit of self-surrender. To the self-provident, wisdom is considered but a special class of knowledge – of little to no additional impact on the resolution of perplexity. Nevertheless, history is replete with notable breakthroughs in physical and social science that rest solely upon wisdom having overruled knowledge on no other basis than discernment.

EMBODIMENT: Man is comprised of three unique cohort functions embodied for transcendental efficacy. Man is a coexistent temporal, eternal, and stateless vessel that often evinces entangled emotional, intellectual, and spiritual transience. Though broadly misunderstood and often mischaracterized – our spirit, soul, and corporeal-synaptic construction coalesces, nonetheless. Beguiled by dis-information, diminished conscience, and discernment deficits – man is easily conscripted by self-provident ideology, no matter that facts repudiate both its vision and verve.

Secular Ideology has risen yet again from the ash heaps of past catastrophes wrought in its wake. The Board of Comrades overseeing the latest strain of Secular Ideology includes old guard elites – government, clergy, journalism, academia, and media, and new ones – big tech and nouveau experts. Heeding no higher authority than themselves, these tyrannical oracles seek to impale the souls and spirits of resistors on new gallows of cancelation, a forewarning to all. Beguiled in an information vacuum, the people – feigning ideological allegiance to avoid personal cloture – are unaware of the true costs it entails, e.g., mandatory curtailment of freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, and the rights to bear arms and self-determination. The beguiled suborn structural insurrection of elections – as the cohort of ideological-elite command. Cognizant of the performance theater at hand and sensing the surrender and complicity of the beguiled – the will of the court of last resort is but a flicker with a fragile rasping voice in search of hibernation.

Truth is endowed with super-natural power. Absent such sanction, truth could not possibly set the captive hordes free from the beguiling subterfuge of secular ideology. Truth, no matter its grammatical or word construction, is first and foremost a promise that rest upon the authority and power of the Creator of the universe and the cosmos in which it stands. Our self-surrender is substantiated by truth that reflects: our own creator like triune composition, the affection and care with which He nurtures each of our acts of surrender, the comprehensiveness of His sacrifice that continually refreshes our sonship – and His authentic dominion and immutable power.

Truth regards the appointed season. To cogently grasp the moral revelation and illumination that truth yields will require courage and strength for a journey certain to incite challenge. Whether the journey endures over the course an entire season of life or but one election cycle, it will entail the requirement for soul rending recurring surrender. Surrender-vision is the spiritual platform by which we are able to discern power and love, and to continue to operate with a sound mind – no matter that ignominious circumstances appear immovable and fatally consecrated.

Truth unveils the Creators divine purpose. Whereas love is the touch stone of creation, truth reveals the finality with which: the Father’s love established man as the object of creation and unfathomable relationship, the Son’s love for the Father was so enormous He entered the abyss of humanity to redeem and restore fallen man into right standing and heal the Fathers wounded heart, and the Holy Spirits galactic handiwork, comforting presence, and active restraint of evil.     

Sacred Theology derives from super-natural authority and power that will accomplish the divine purpose of God in America as it already is in Heaven. Americans will soon come to believe that true hearts who seek truth will see, hear, know, and understand the ideological treachery by which they were beguiled. Americans will soon realize that a single act of national self-surrender will usher in spiritual and national revival. Americans will soon sound the shofar of this season by turning inward to reflect and repent. Americans will soon appreciate that because the Creator is not a man, His ways are unknowable, unsearchable, and cannot be put on a scheduled. Americans will soon rejoice because our national and world changing best is about to bring forth.

Unclear But Present Danger – Part III of IV : Ties that Bind – Deception – Division – Disaster

UNCLEAR BUT PRESENT DANGER

Part III of IV: Ties that Bind – Deception-Division-Disaster

Consortia Electi will soon have Influence on par with Weapons Systems and Financial Markets

The Origins of Consortia Electi:

No matter the plausibility of Darwin’s theories on evolution, the microscopes of that age were incapable of revealing the irreducibly complex mechanisms within a cell – which when discovered challenged many hypotheses of the day. Similarly, contemporary analytics that may illuminate processes and relationships – cannot reveal the true agency giving rise to Consortia Electi. Few disagree that Consortia Electi rely on – entitlement-fear-control – based operating models, and few hypothesize about the agency that inspires their development. Viruses and Consortia Electi share the same primal instinct to survive. The primary means by which both survive is deception.  

Viruses have no organic capability to reproduce copies of themselves, which they require to fend against assassin cells deployed by their hosts’ immune systems. Viruses can deceive host cells into producing the copies they require. The many cooks inside the cell membrane eventually engorge the host cell to death. Similarly, the collaborative-will-of-the-people is the only natural predator that Consortia Electi must fend against to expand their sphere of control. They repeat deceptive messages to induce self-sustaining delusion; disrupting the people’s ability to discern the truth impedes their ability to agree. Viruses and Consortia Electi also share a primal instinct to proliferate. The primary means by which both proliferate is disruptive division.

Viruses are alive only in the sense that their actions exhibit an instinct to survive and proliferate. This instinct only discerns the virus’s mortality, not the destructive consequences its survival perpetrates. This same viral instinct prevails no matter the collateral consequences; in little, more than one century viruses have killed more humans than two world wars. Quite to the contrary, Consortia Electi discern their own mortality and the destructive consequences their sentient choices perpetrate. Like viruses, Consortia Electi are committed to attaining the resources they require to advance their own interests. Consortia Electi often accomplish this by offering alluring and addictive information and services – harvesting surplus information and data for their uses. The primary outcome of having attained their instinctual and sentient interests is disaster.  

 

Unclear But Present Danger – Part I of IV : Fear – The Nectar of Elites

UNCLEAR BUT PRESENT DANGER

Part I of IV: Fear – the Nectar of Elites

The Audacity of Fear, not Hope is the Greatest threat to Making the Union Great Again

The Rise of a Nouveau Elite:

Challenging – is an understated testimony to the daunting complexity enveloping the latest viral (disease) pandemic. Assessing strategies to mitigate and interdict the virus’s lethal potential, and formulating a plan to restart the furloughed economy, is critical. Most look to the presumed Elite branch of the human blockchain for information, solutions, and leadership. Although operating under unrelenting stress, Elites initially led with laudable empathy and equanimity. Armed presumably with no more than the art of medicine to guide untested plans-of-action, apprehension induced some Elites to tap into the most disquieting of all human emotions – fear.

Collaboration and heroic patience opened a data portal having the scale and quality necessary for epidemiological assessment of the seventh coronavirus. However, just as there is no amount of tax revenue Congress won’t outspend, there is no pharmacology that medical professionals will endorse without preserving plausible denial. Anecdotal and epidemiological enlightened pathology and treatment regimens have emerged that even the most congenitally skeptical must embrace. This data is also fundamental to informing a prudent economic reset. Importantly, it holds the potential to codify and reveal the truth – the only formulary capable of arresting fear.

The imperative to balance health initiatives and economic interests is not new to the government or the people; the best outcomes have a common virtue – mutually informed consultation amongst all interested parties. The people realize strategic benefit by entrusting certain responsibilities to government – such as coordination of intelligence, resources, and logistics. However, the people have never conceded to government sovereign control of their property, prerogative, or privacy. Many Elites believe expediency alone sanctions confiscation of the people’s sovereign control. The elixir used by Elite Government Sovereigns to self-certify forged entitlement is fear.

Entitlement is neither congenital nor an acquired taste. It is an addictive state of mind that arises from corroborating intellectual and cultural conditioning. This addiction is undeterred by judicial precedence, constitutional or otherwise. It has the wherewithal to transform former servants of the people (e.g. governors, mayors, and subject matter experts) into Czars-for-a-Day. The Elite presume jurisdiction superseding presidential prerogative – on the same basis they disavow the authority of the people. These duly elected Czars-for-a-Day deemed furloughing the economy of lesser risk to well-being than unprecedented unemployment claims and writing huge checks absent any funds on account. Citing urgency, these Elite lifted off remotely absent consultation with the people. The elixir used by Czars-for-a-Day to transact in forged entitlement is fear.

Entitlement sanctioned by silence provides proponents of mass conformity both the basis and means to advance their objectives. Media Masters well understand the power of persistent messaging to foment conformity that gestates organic resistance to countervailing facts and opinions. As a matter of course, entitlement can be self-sanctioned – none more apparent than entertainment award shows. Media Masters are adroit at remodeling messages and acclimating discourse to conform public opinion and perception with the ideology they advocate. Cloaked by first amendment subterfuge, where opinion impersonates fact, they export lethal ideology with impunity. Pandemics and apocalypse lack the impetus to emancipate some ideological prisoners of conformity. The elixir used by Media Masters to xerox forged entitlement is fear.

The most predatory Cabal in history is comprised of but a few companies. This Technology Cabal is adept at covert and clandestine data acquisition, and its transformation into marketable information, intelligence, and influence. The Cabal has fortified its dominance and high margins with supercomputing and ubiquitous communications – enabling its clan to assess, predict, and ultimately shape behavior. The Cabal uses its technical prowess to subvert dissenting voices essential to democratic inquiry and prescriptive oversight. It can render contrarian thoughts, ideas, people, and institutions irredeemable objects of derision. While the Cabal is demonstrably invincible to oversight; it can manufacture artificial conformance on-demand absent forensic artifacts. The elixir used by the Technology Cabal to pickpocket and forge entitlement is fear.

Ideology: Waging War on Personal Prerogative

IDEOLOGY: WAGING WAR ON PERSONAL PREROGATIVE

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress…

Out of the Heart, the Mouth speaks…

Ideology Abhors Belief Systems

As stated in a previous blog, “contrary to contemporary folklore, many New World settlers were more inspired by potential economic gain than religious conviction”. However, the decision of those seeking religious relief, stemmed from the confiscation of an interdependent (monarch-politicians-clergy) process by Ideological forces.

Their concerns were codified when Queen Elizabeth I sanctioned the 1559 Act of Uniformity that imposed the Book of Commons on all belief systems. It passed through the House of Lords by only three votes, and all the clergy except those imprisoned by the Queen, voted against it. Many Pilgrims and Puritans, Protestants to a differing degree, headed for the New World along with those seeking fame and fortune – and the embarrassingly poor who were forcibly evicted from the streets of London.

In 2018 there still remains but a remnant of difference between freely adhering to ones chosen moral convictions – and the legislative imposition of moral uniformity. Recently the voters of both the City and County of Los Angeles passed legislation directing billions of dollars to mitigate regional homelessness, now at epic proportions. The humanity and heartfelt empathy of the regions voters cannot be debated. While these propositions were gracious and generous, would the standards embraced by the regions elected representatives be any less ideological than was the 1559 Act of Uniformity?

In 2017 one of the largest and most comprehensive emergency services providers in the US served over one million meals and provided a half million shelter nights – and did not turn away a single woman or child, no matter the stress on staff and resources. While this provider has maintained a religious affiliation for the past one hundred and twenty-five years, it has never once differentiated in the level of services or resources provided to those in need – nor does it require guests to embrace or acknowledgment its beliefs.

The organization’s laudable performance is well established and its exemplary financial management well documented, e.g. it posts its audited financial statement for public review. Nevertheless, this organization was advised by regional government counsel, that unless it provided written repudiation of its religious affiliation – as are others – it would not be awarded any of the new funding. With no New World which to banish the homeless or those in need of emergency services, the City and County of Los Angeles have nevertheless imposed their own ideology inspired 2018 Act of Uniformity.

Ideology provides cover for the Tyrannical assault on the Belief Systems of Others

Ideology Abhors Self Expression

Thoughts have the potential to defy convention, challenge expectations, repudiate traditional beliefs – to encourage and to dissuade, to affirm and forbid, and to support and suppress. Thoughts cannot be mediated by referendum or confined by the strictures of science. Thoughts may enjoy long and short-term tenure. Thoughts may inspire comfort or disquiet conflicted by current reality. Thoughts are the personal jurisdiction where ethical, relational, civil, and social comportment gestate. Thoughts and speech are intractably entangled – the former revealed by the later. Because out of the heart the mouth speaks – to know others requires a willingness to hear others.

Words released from the confines of thought have their own capacity for engagement. Some words can be countermanded by other words, but not all words can be annulled. Leaders, parents, colleagues, and friends, have on occasion released irretrievably harmful words. However, it is the genesis of the thoughts behind the words that warrant examination to discern the presence of deception and aberrant intent.

No act more effectively empowers deception than silencing the thoughts of those with whom we might not agree – just as no act more effectively plunders deception than exposing it to virtue and truth. Such authenticity is more accessible than most realize, however, ideology is a narcotic that subverts appetites for other than its points of view.

While many nefarious and noble thoughts never rise to the level of engagement, thoughts inhabit words, and words are often a harbinger of incontrovertible actions. Control of actions and outcomes are intractably related to formation and dissemination of words. The United States of America (US) was so dedicated to preserving the rights of citizens to cultivate and express thoughts via words, it made freedom of expression a cardinal tenant of its canon of rights – not subject to government interdiction.

Thoughts in the form of speech undergirded the most powerful of social transformations – e.g. Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Immigration and Education Reform – in the most powerful country in the world. Yet ideology brazenly conscripts those who’ve benefited the most from freedom of expression in its quest to move up the stream-of-personal-consciousness to subvert thought. The title of a recent best-seller about Russia reveals ideology’s vaporous attraction – “Nothing is True but Every Thing is Possible”.

Ideology’s quest to capture the transforming power of words is intended to banish thoughts – not speech – it disapproves of from the public square. Ideology exploits a not so obvious but highly effective strategy; it contends that the battles that matter are economic, racial, and gender based e.g. intersectional – as opposed to those attendant to preservation of thoughts, words, and actions, informed by truth and morality. Deception, the patron saint of Ideology, requires a steady diet of conflict and discord.

Ideology can only foment Deception – whereas – Truth can transform thoughts

Ideology Abhors Cultural Inclination

Culture is both a means of communication and compression. It broadly communicates group perceptions and preferences, and compresses past experiences and decisions into inclinations expressed in the now. Even though it is often referred to in dissected terminology – e.g. me, them, and they – culture is foremost about we.

There is no such oasis as solo-culture; culture exhibits inclinations that reflect the hierarchical and linear integration of nationalism, ethnicity, economics, politics, religion, customs, and passions. American culture derives from a powerful multi-articulated social mechanism, where the who-you-are derives from both transient and static inclinations – the unique you is free to influence many different assemblies.

Besides belief systems, thoughts, and speech – ideology has also planted its flag in the hierarchical and linearly integrated American culture. While its constitutional blueprint suggest America is dynamically and inherently resistant to cultural hegemony, ideology has found a highly receptive and near perfect host for its deceptive and divisive intent. Social elixirs that inspire appetites for ideology over morality and truth have diminished American immunity to cultural subversion. Ideology like cancer relies on its difficulty to be detected, as it subverts healthy potentiality to foment disaster.

How did such a vibrant virtual culture, like that pervasive in America for over two hundred years, lose its vitality? It didn’t. Its vitality was expunged when the voices of truth abandoned their posts. Absent true moral reference, those nominally addicted to ideology maintain a frame of mind that insists, “If I’m dancing with deception, just keep the music playing”. Be aware, Ideology only mixes tacks to its own beat, not yours.

When fully formed, Ideology aggressively resists the Patrons of Truth

Believing ideology possesses authentic and sustainable power – the unsuspecting and addicted hordes surrender their personal prerogative (free will) to its self proclaimed counterfeit authority. Ideology proffers Cadillac promises designed to attract and imprison the human will, and to evade accountability to the truth. Ideology infects party orthodoxy, converting its members into Red and Blue tricks. Many are unaware that the ideology they serve has diabolically different objectives than their orthodoxy espouses.

Truth can never reach an armistice with ideology – as they are the progeny of two wholly different jurisdictions that predestine opposition. Truth transpires from transcendental spiritual agency, whereas ideology is dependent on division, deception and exploitation of cultural agency. Because ideology presumes itself as sovereign, right and wrong, good and evil, and you and me, are subject to its sole adjudication. Ideology does not abide questions or debate – only full and immediate compliance will be tolerated.

Absent the Superior (Truth) Culture will be subsumed by the Inferior (Ideology)

The Flag Football Schism

THE FLAG FOOTBALL SCHISM

Deception – Division – Disaster

The great counterfeiter adapts deception to every time and culture – Billy Graham

The great counterfeiter’s kryptonite is division through slander – James MacDonald

There’s no disaster that can’t become a blessing or blessing a disaster – J. L. Seagull

Deception has both Origin and Offspring

There exists within the Homo sapiens1 core a prescient connection to purpose – eternally unbounded by time, space, or matter (spirit), and animated interests – that eternally liberates creativity from the internment of reason (soul). The entanglement of spirit and soul inspires engagement by temporal corporeal-synaptic agency (body). Many sense this multidimensional agency; few realize its genesis (origin) resides in the human spirit.

Note1: Sapiens is technically an adjective, but herein denotes both singular and plural forms.

While engagement is the progeny (offspring) of Sapiens intent, the confluence of spirit (morality) and soul (aspiration) is where intent gestates. Intent can be actualized in kinetic (active) states, e.g. standing and singing, and static (passive) states, e.g. kneeling in silence. Regardless of state, engagement reveals the nature of the spirit – truth or deception – that the soul sanctions, and it alone rewards with corporeal-synaptic agency.

Deception inspired spiritual agency (strategic deceit) has powerful capacity to influence the human soul. However, truth-inspired spiritual agency (divine purpose) also abides; it grants both the power to discern deception and to obtain revelation to the human soul. Yet, a soul that affirms deceit opens a portal by which deception begets fraudulent engagement, which engagement begets division, where after division begets disaster.

Deception purports a unifying Genesis but claims plausible denial of its divisive Progeny

Deception disavows Details and Facts – by any Words Necessary

A broadly disseminated narrative contends that police have disproportionate violent encounters with young African American men. This point was defended on a recent National Broadcast News Program by an African America trial lawyer who: used word symbols and slogans, but just one fact and no details to provide context to the narrative.

The following evening, the same News Program afforded an African American lawyer from the US Commission on Civil Rights the opportunity to respond to the trial lawyers assertions. The Commissioner used Department of Justice data and copious Commission studies to prove that the assertions pivoted on a word – disproportionate – not facts.

Deception religiously defuses Details and Facts with Symbols and Slogans

Deception seeks to sire Division – by any Means Necessary

The Commissioner also reported that the data confirms police kill black men (6 percent of the population) 2.5 times more frequently than whites (31 percent of the population), or disproportionately. However, computing the ratio of police killings by dividing group killings by the total male populations of that group is intellectually dishonest and yields a patiently deceptive outcome. A cogent examination of the data by universally vetted mathematical processes is revealing, compelling, and alarming:

In New York, young black men commit 35 times more robberies, 38 times more murders, and 51 times more firearm-related crimes – than do whites.

In 2015 police killed 36 unarmed black men, while other black men (mostly young) murdered nearly 6,000 other black Americans.

Young black males make up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade.

Perhaps the most sobering revelation is that of the 7,881 African Americans murdered in 2016 – the overwhelming majority were murdered by young African American males between the ages of 17 and 34, less than 1.5 percent of the total population.

Deception highjacks the power of language to deprive many of “an ear to see”

Division masterfully disorients Good Intentions

Many African American professional athletes – and others – are exercising their First Amendment right to protest what they see as disproportionate treatment of young black men by police. Not surprisingly, the young men on whom the protests focus fall within the same age range (25.5) as the protesters (NBA: 26.5 and NFL: 25.6); many hail from the same archetype communities. Undoubtedly many of these athletes, no matter their salaries, have unique insights regarding the plight and experiences of this group – and processes by which they can overcome their difficult and self-destructive challenges.

Who is better positioned and accomplished – to mentor this group – than these athletes?

Division is Organic and Infectious

The protesters infrequent articulation of details and facts that reveal the marrow of their cause – beyond talking points and slogans – organically accelerates division. It has led many to conclude that these athletes are unaware of the well-established data and facts that impair the potency and piety of their protests. The infectious kumbaya (feelings) between players and owners does not reflect a perfect union, given fierce fan base opposition (reality). Division always seeks to substitute feelings in place of reality.

Discounting POTUS Flag bluster is one thing – but Flags thrown by fans quite another

Division inspires Schism as a prelude to Disaster

First and foremost the Flag is not a symbol of a perfect union but of the sacrifice of life and limb by all members of the National Community to include African Americans (54th Mass. Infantry, Abolitionist, Tuskegee Airmen, and many Medal of Honor recipients). Various protesters seem unaware or unconcerned that casting the Flag in the shadow of wanton murder of private citizens by private citizens (a symbol pivot) is hugely divisive.

Division is an Accelerant – that unfurls Disastrous uncontainable Social Infernos

Disaster is the Love Child of Division

Contrary to popular convention, division is counter-intuitive to both those harboring noble and nefarious intent. Some choose: to destroy and disparage, oppose and oppress, disrupt and dispose, challenge and co-opt – yet others choose to collaborate and coordinate, plan and produce, share and sacrifice, encourage and enable. No analytics provide plausible incentive to embrace division over allied engagement. Both divisive and allied engagements are the progeny (offspring) of radically different geneses, which reveal which spirit – truth or deception – the soul has elected to sanction.

It’s no coincidence that the terms used to describe divisive engagement are the same as those impartial scribes use to critique military conquest, political retribution, economic calamity, and acts of terrorism; division – the progeny of deception – foments disaster. The terms used to describe allied engagement are often the same as those impartial scribes use to critique military forbearance, political discourse, economic propriety, and acts of selfless generosity; allegiance – the progeny of truth – empowers relationship.

Infused by Deception infected Division – the Internet supercharges virtual Disaster

Truth has its own Power and Authority

Once the human soul has elected to collaborate with the spirit of deception, the corporeal-synaptic-self engages as an enraged opponent of truth. An effective strategy for controverting truth is to supplant free speech and access (First Amendment Rights) by force and disparagement. Sources that expose deception are often attacked, and credible facts are bleached to oblivion by fake news and rebukes from celebrity scions.

Truth is eternal: it does not originate in the temporal corporeal-synaptic realm. Eternal truth is not reasoned conclusions fashioned from data, facts, circumstances, or season. Eternal truth cannot arise from nor survive on the basis of religious, cultural, or political ideologies. Ideologies are nevertheless the perfect companions to deception, cloaking deception in an opaque sea of familiarity. No matter the vigorous applause of agreeable constituencies, deception cannot survive the discerning and revelatory power of truth.

Truth is both an Eternal Quality and a Source of Eternal Power – only when it is shared!

The Consequences of Fraudulent Transfer of Authority

THE CONSEQUENCES OF FRAUDULENT TRANSFER OF AUTHORITY

The Contemporary Church as Ahab and the State as its Jezebel

For many, the relationship between Ahab and Jezebel elucidates a drama wherein a vulnerable Ahab is victimized by the beguiling femininity of his lover, Jezebel. Neither presumption is true; they are co-dependent conspirators who harbor nefarious intent. Predisposed to fraudulent posturing, Ahab evinces dispassionate jurisdiction, whereas Jezebel predisposed to irrepressible prerogative savors fraudulent jurisdiction. They are catalytic accomplices, whose fraudulent-transfer-of-authority is devoid of moral fidelity.

DNA – a double-helix structure that contains unique genetic instructions present in every cell of the body – arises from the bonding of complimentary molecular agents. Ahab-Jezebel Syndrome – a double-helix psychosis that induces fraudulent-transfer-of-authority – arises from complimentary disposition (immorality) and spiritual mutation (deception), which portends disaster for Social, Sacred, and Secular institutions.

Like a low-grade fever that precedes the onset of debilitating infection, Ahab-Jezebel- Syndrome first entreats collaboration (fever) and then acts to impose subordination (infection). Ahab-Churches unceremoniously surrender their jurisdiction to the dominion of Jezebel-States (government, business, media, academia), who greet fraudulent-transfer-of-authority with both a sense of rightful expectancy and finality.

Induced by the spirit of immorality and deception to dispossess authority, the contemporary church has abdicated its responsibility for moral oversight of: politics, culture, education, economics, and sexuality. Addicted to wanting-what-it-wants, Jezebel-States alone fill the vacuums; they act aggressively to institutionalize these windfalls of authority, which enable them to define success, failure, and spirituality as they so choose. All except staged-contention is vilified as barbarism and social sacrilege.

Repudiating the sovereignty of the source, fraudulent transfers of authority between Church and State are represented as – occasions were enlightened lovers experience beneficial and enduring cohabitation. These lovers trust the cultural and political devices they employ will obfuscate the immorality and deception that inspires their union.

While the State has gained jurisdiction as sole moral arbiter of its own decisions and behavior, the Church has gained but trinkets: lumps of coal in their capital stockings and photo-ops that only impersonate power sharing. With jurisdiction of both capital and moral authority, States seek final consolidation – radical transformation of the Family.

If the only One with the power to sanction these institutions is yet cogent and sovereign, will there be rectification? Jezebel-States are actually the boots who march to the beat of Ahab-Church dysfunction. Having bartered away actual for titular authority, garnering little more than a muzzle and blindfold – the Church had better batten its hatches.

So she [Jezebel] wrote letters in Ahab’s name, placed his seal on them, and sent them

to the elders and nobles – 1 Kings 21: 8

Burning Man – Bling versus Light

BURNING MAN – BLING VERSUS LIGHT

Babylon, Mesopotamia – Black Rock Desert, Nevada

Babylon: 9“May the king live forever! 10 Your Majesty has issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of …all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, 11 and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace.

Black Rock: Hey man didn’t you get the Flash Mob tweet? Everybody is on high alert listening for the beats – the Business Ballers, the Pay-Pal Politicians, the App Store Pastors, the LinkedIn Legends, the Facebook Phenoms, the YouTube Dudes, and the Instagram Babes. WhatsApp with you, even your wife is sleeping in her Bluetooth Ear Buds.

Babylon: 12 But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon – Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Black Rock: Dude, they got you and your posse on blast. Old boy told the Head Baller that even though your game is tight: you refuse to raise your hands in the air because you actually don’t care or place your hat over your morals as he dictates; you refuse to imbibe or vote as the king wishes to remain bling-tight. They say you holding out for a distant lover.

Babylon: 13 Furious with rage, the King summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, 14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? 15 Now when you hear the sound of …all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you…?

Black Rock: The: democrats, republicans, and independents; red and blue state people; the left, right, rich, and poor; the liberals, conservatives, and libertarians; the CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News anchors – are furious. They’re demanding that you confess your allegiance to the orthodoxy of this age before the next explicit mix track finishes, or your swagger and bling will be vaporized by scurrilous Internet innuendo and a media beat down.

Babylon: 16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him… we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.

Black Rock: Ok Big Dogs, we get it; you believe only what you can see. Your fresh castle, phat chariot, and gangsta posse, have you thinking you actually roll like that. We hear you’ve already sold out our “Burning Man” performance. However, our Master has a season pass for every show in the universe, when He comes you’ll realize He doesn’t need a seat.

Babylon: 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Black Rock: By the way, even if our Master should decide to skip “Burning Man” this year, your band still has no swagger, and we don’t do Beats.

The All-Knowingness and Gross-Secrecy Conundrum

THE ALL KNOWINGNESS AND GROSS SECRECY CONUNDRUM

          Rather than to make scapegoats of engineers, it might be wiser to lay before them a work programme… Elmer Ambrose Sperry, 1930

The development of narrative scripts (writing systems) for numbers and then language facilitated the archival preservation and broad dissemination of facts, fictions, accounts, and fantasy. However, narrative scripts were not nearly as proficient at preservation and dissemination of data as for information, likely inspiring and influencing development of computational scripts (mathematical systems).

The analog embodiment of these scripts accommodated physical and access control of data and information. Analog vested scripts together with analog networks comprised of oceans, seas, rivers, tributaries, and estuaries, brought potent benefits to mankind. Collaboration among family, friends, foe, colleagues, and importantly neighbors, increased in practice and value, as did commerce.

Digital scripts (binary systems) enable composition (production), preservation (storage), replication (virtual copies), and dissemination (distribution) of data and information. Importantly, they enable systems, devices, appliances, and applications to directly engage; machine-to-machine communication is a critical network centric process.

The Digital Ecosystem and Monoculture rely on digital scripts. The Digital Ecosystem is enabled by: Network Service Providers such as AT&T, Verizon, Charter and Comcast; Network Technology OEM such as Cisco, Juniper, and HP; Mobile Architecture Providers such as Microsoft, Apple and Samsung; Application Portals such as Facebook, Google, and Yahoo; and Cloud Facilitators such as Amazon and IBM. The Digital Monoculture enables interoperability among disparate data, applications, and devices.

The personal, commercial, and institutional benefits derived from global access to data and information, and Cloud facilitated on-demand digital resources, are apparent. The former aqueous networks have given way to a digital network of networks called the Internet. Like other game changing advances, digital script enabled technology found itself the chaperone of unintended consequences, the specter of all-knowingness.

In many regards, the Digital Ecosystem and Digital Monoculture are no more vulnerable than were the aqueous commercial networks, transports, and cargos of centuries past. Presently, sophisticated weaponized malware renders differentiation of noble from nefarious intent a daunting technical challenge. The broad disintegration of propriety and privacy has fomented unintended consequences, the specter of gross-secrecy.

All-knowingness is highly addictive. Its proponents crave access to data and information for which its owners hold reasonable expectations of privacy; they see their covert and clandestine actions as expressions of urgent benevolence and commercial expediency. Gross-secrecy is also highly addictive. Its proponents evidence totalitarian resistance to encroachment of both their contemporary and vintage stashes of secrets, believing personal risks always outweigh collective security interests.

Just as all-knowingness is antithetical to privacy, gross-secrecy is antithetical to collective security. Some would argue correctly that security would be enhanced were the barons of all-knowingness to impose this knowledge on everyone with regard to those in their sphere of influence (e.g. contact lists). Others would no doubt argue that vulnerability would be exacerbated as gross-secrets were mismanaged, misunderstood, and manipulated. To varying degrees, both conditions already prevail. Neither all-knowingness nor gross-secrecy alone can serve our highest security or moral interests.

It is important to recognize that neither point of view, all-knowingness or gross-secrecy, is necessarily diabolical, although such cogent consideration runs counter to our social and cultural conditioning, not to mention capitalistic instincts. It is crucial that we determine which resources can and cannot resolve this conundrum. Politics can never resolve this conundrum; politics only offers analytics but can’t run, pass, or catch. The solution must carry the essential genetic markers of the conundrum itself, technology.

Recently, a government coterie (by all accounts considered technology neophytes) missed a valuable opportunity when they marched into the valley of American technology giants with cease and desist vibrato, rather than specific lawful collective security objectives. Such specificity would have allowed the participants to memorialize specific technical goals and boundaries, to which the most creative community of technologist on the planet could innovate. Now positioned as combatants rather than citizen partners, both have launched media campaigns that bring resolution no closer.

Many rightfully question whether all meets the eye. The government might very well posses the assailant’s in-coming and out-going communications Meta data, iCloud backup, social media postings, radicalized training CV, and finance, relationship, and travel history. Could the Administrations petition, based on the All Writs Act of 1789, also seek to weaken limitations imposed by recent lawfully enacted legislation: 2015 Cyber Information Sharing Act (CISA), 2015 Modified US-EU Safe Harbor Privacy Framework, and the 2015 Revised Patriot Act? Do American technology companies fear being labeled as conscripted informants of the U.S. government by their global competitors more than they fear U.S. government demands as a harbinger of future demands by other governments?

The most recent outbreak of conundrumitis evidences a disastrous breach of best practices. Politics has cast itself in the role of technologist, issuing specific court sanctioned technical directions. Technologists left with but two courses of action chose the path of lawful resistance over technical submission, challenging the constitutionality of the Attorney Generals petition.

Self-inflicted wounds are now running neck-and-neck with those realized from attacks and assaults by perpetrators. How to get members of team-america to focus more on an effective game plan than on who is captain or who will get the loudest applause, is actually the most dangerous and challenging conundrum we face.

Only Technology can enable All-knowingness and Gross-secrecy to beneficially Coalesce

A Laughable Strategy: Part 3 of 3

A LAUGHABLE STRATEGY : 3 of 3

1 Samuel 2:28, Luke 15:11-32, 1 Corinthians 13:13

The bouncing baby boy was a dream come true for the parents whose other child had been called to heaven from the womb rather than the world. Soon they discovered the beauty of life in Christ and dedicated their most prized possession to Him. As sanctified in private as they were in public, the parents nurtured the one given over to God, more as a ward of heaven than a son. The Father taught him the power of kindness and hard work to vanquish selfishness and dependence, while the Mother instilled in him confidence and aspiration, unrestrained by voices of apprehension or acquiescence.

While he’d always believed in the deity of Christ, a predilection with religion failed to connect with the call of God he felt so deeply in his heart. However, religion would prove a perfect soul mate for intellectual, professional, social, and cultural enlightenment. This new hybrid-god of enlightenment received all the praise for his many, varied, and significant accomplishments. The son given to and gifted by God preferred the prodigal lifestyle of works to the laughable strategy of faith.

In time the opiate of enlightenment proffered by the hybrid-god, loss its potency to silence the call of God pulsating in his heart. The prodigal was compelled to search out just enough religion to restore the opiate of his addiction to sufficient potency. While he was looking for religion but loitering in the spiritual, the Holy Spirit illuminated the Word, revealing the emptiness of enlightenment and futility of life apart from Christ. Though the son given over to God had in fact reconciled with the true inspiration of his calling, his mind held fast to a preference for objective initiative over the laughable strategy of hope.

God reprised the call on his life with marked clarity by the Word, divine inspiration, and prophetic counsel. He embraced past successes as building blocks of the prophetic vision God had spoken into his spirit. However, the more his love of the Lord grew, the more pronounced seemed the set backs he experienced. While the disintegration was broad, personal, persistent, and painful, the son given over to God experienced joy and peace that surpassed his understanding. Notwithstanding, he envisioned and longed more for prophetic performance than the laughable strategy of love.

By grace and growth his gifts kicked their enlightenment addiction, aligning instead with faith. His initiatives were liberated from blind objectivity, qualified instead by hope. His expectations now found focus beyond circumstances; his heart given over to the love of God alone. Clarity! His ministry and profession were divinely conjoined. The Call he felt so deeply would require complete surrender of all the currency of life: emotions, possessions, potential, and passions. The Spirit of God illuminated a course of action, where the most comprehensive was also the most improbable. The call came quickly, confirming that the Word yet held the power to part seas of impossibility.

A Laughable Strategy: Part 2 of 3

A LAUGHABLE STRATEGY : Part 2 of 3

Joshua 1:1 – 6:27

Though the tent nation from the other side of the sea languished in the wilderness, they routinely surmounted challenges far exceeding their proficiency. Year after year they evidenced no commitment to national strategic initiative or infrastructure development. The efficacy of their theocratic governance could be objectively debated as they repeatedly uprooted the entire citizenry according to the random movements of a single perennial cloud, a laughable strategy.

Eventually their neighbors dismissed them as a menagerie of nomadic savants going nowhere. The One who’d secured their emancipation, enrolled them as student-ministers in the most advanced University of Spiritual Cultivation since the cessation of studies at the Garden of Eden and before the coming of Pentecost. Comprised of twelve different schools, this university of higher calling taught only three courses: reverence, faith, and obedience. Some forty years later the first and only graduating class celebrated its baccalaureate, dressed in war regalia rather than caps and gowns, on the shores of Jordanian destiny.

As it was in the beginning, destiny again lay on the other side of an aqueous barrier of impossibility. Led by representatives from the School of Levitical Studies, they proceed resolutely without so much as a single floatation device, a laughable strategy. After an inexplicable splash-free crossing, they constructed a profound but simple monument to remind their progeny of the faithfulness of the One who’d called them unto Himself.

It yet appeared that breaking into destiny would be every bit as challenging as breaking out had been forty years earlier. Though shielded by a second purportedly impenetrable fortification, the adroitness with which they vanquished the first gave rise to grave concern throughout the region. Ensconced in a defensive but determined posture, the experienced adversary relocated critical resources and non-combatants to the rear. However, their reconnaissance suggested these would be invaders were more adept at revelry and marching than fighting.

Day after day the tent nation from the other side of the other side, marched around the fortification separating them from destiny, blowing horns, yet another laughable strategy. Eventually the alert-status within the protectorate was lowered and non-combatants were allowed to lampoon the spectacle first hand. However, on the seventh day, the Word called for the music to be remixed and instructed that the marching be extended. These changes coincided with the complete collapse of the heretofore-impenetrable fortification. Thereafter, resistance was futile.

Resisting the Word is far to daunting a task for even the richest or most powerful, yet today self-anointed sovereigns remain dedicated to this pursuit. Standing on the Word requires exercise of but a portion of the faith each has been gifted; yet today few are willing to march to the beat of Word music.
