I have been developing a number of “theories” over the past few months and I apologize for the delay in my posts. But this one deserves careful consideration - by you and especially by me so that I don’t encourage that which I am trying to discourage.
My last post involved the idea that plans for a larger, more violent racial divide are actively being implemented. My suggestion was to avoid reacting to negative news, statements, etc. designed to incite racism, however subtly. Note: The word SUBTLE is key. These events will all be very subtle at first, slowly agitating the masses until they reach a breaking point. The financial crisis is a part of that process. Who would suspect that it was actually designed to promote bigotry, hatred and violence? I believe it was. And I believe we will see many more such events with the same intent.
Let me ask you a question. If you are White, and you just lost your job, are 4 months behind in your mortgage, are contemplating bankruptcy and are having trouble feeding your family, how would you react if a bill was passed to compensate all Black Americans with $100,000 as retribution for slavery? Would it anger you? Would you start to despise Blacks - good or bad - for that reason alone? What if you are Black. How would you react. Would you defend the attempt with your eyes fixed on a nice chunk of money and view opposing Whites as bigots? Now I don’t suppose anything as blatant as this would occur, but what about a number of less obvious attempts. Who do you think would lose in the long run. The answer is - all of us.
I believe that attempts to create this type of negativity are already in the works. I believe we will see things designed to subtly and slowly create the “perfect” environment to promote bigotry and hate, in fact we have already seen a few over many years. These will increase in number and intensity until the goal of a race war is achieved. So what do we do?
First, understand that knowledge is power. Knowing and understanding is the key to thwarting this effort. By that I mean that all races need to understand that we are all being used to accomplish this goal, and we all will lose in the end if it is successful. The whole financial bubble was designed to make people not care about everyone else. As long as my stock portfolio increased and my football team won, life was good. Who cared about the other guy? And so many of us adopted that attitude , became self righteous and even indignant at those who had less. We felt entitled, better, deserving and we saw those without as undeserving, even bad.
Some folks even used the Bible to justify their perspective foolishly promoting that God is rewarding them because He found favor with them and the less fortunate offended Him. This of course ignores the many teachings to the contrary in the Bible and turns a blind eye to the many financially successful thieves, murderers and “sinners”. But soon the tables were turned on a large number of people. And now they all - we all - need someone else to blame. So the stage is set.
The first thing we need to do is understand that we’re all in this together. Black, White, Asian, Latino… we’re all being maneuvered. And if you’re actively seeking someone to blame for your current situation you’ll find them, soon. The only way to overcome this, in my opinion, is to work together. Step back for a minute and think rationally. Every race has good people and bad people as members. Every PERSON basically wants the same things - security, happiness, love. Don’t define people by the color of their skin. Don’t separate them into groups of “Black”, “White”, “Asian” or “Latino”. Instead separate them into groups of “Good” or “Bad” without regard to the color of their skin. This is important, and if you are considered a minority, you may think you already see your fellow men that way. But what would you say to that offer I mentioned above - the $100,000 retribution payment? What would you say even if you knew you were being used to help create a racial divide and that in the end, that money would be useless to you? Would you still find a way to justify it?
Don’t. The key to overcoming this problem is to work together. Don’t be corrupted by the money, the offers, the status or whatever you are offered Do the right thing for the right reason and don’t allow yourself to make excuses. Don’t see the color of a person, see their soul instead. Work WITH them to create love and happiness and never ever do anything that will work against that objective. Mark my words. You’ll have opportunity. And some of the opportunities will be hard to resist. Keep focused.
The world is full of people who compromised their values and perspectives for money. I’d venture to guess that each of them has had to adjust their perspective over and over again in order to help promote the negativity which we are currently experiencing. Don’t become one. You’re better than that.
Make love [energy], not war…
