Land That I Love....

>>>>God Bless America!!>>>>

>>God - if there is one, which I doubt - may or may not bless America; won't matter much to me either way. I don't live there.>>

Relax Steven. The sun will come up tomorrow, betcha...... Don't put God on a pedestal. He's below you, inside of you, within you/us. He's searching for us, not vis versa. Patient, compassionate, funny, wacky, forgiving. This whole fear/power-based separation crap is just that - CRAP!! BS, period. All you have to do is look into a child's eyes and you are looking into the light of this fun, innocent, intuitive, aware, risk-oriented, loving energy.

>>"the children shall lead."

Yes, they shall: when they grow up. Until then, it is our job to teach them.>>

Yup, it's our job to "teach them", define them, label them, grade them, judge them, control them, restrict them.

A "definitional" gulag. For this energy and awareness and risk orientation which we're all born with is so extreme, messy, radical and just can't go on.

I say, BS!!!!

GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!

Let the kids lead.

GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!

Period.

Watch, listen, learn, support, love.

>>Damn the torpedos of factual, identifiable logic. GO!!

Without factual, identifiable logic, how will you know where to go? How will you know that you are in fact going? You might, you know, be standing still or spinning in circles, and just convincing yourself that you are going.>>

Gosh, the tightropes of fear our egos and the egos around us want us to walk are soooooooooo difficult and hard and tough and scary.

The world wants you to give up your energy, pull back your trust and camp out in an ego-driven position of fear, power or control.

Just imagine the rational pain that giving up our imagination, innocense and natural childlike awareness and sense of fun can extract from our spiritual energy.

Oh, the painful thought of giving up and letting go to really risk and experience the true meaning and boundless energy of the moment!!! Impossible!!! Illogical!!!

My ego says "I must control"....."I must define"....."I must label...."....."I must judge...."

I just laugh and "move on."

But here's what it's really saying when it confuses us wtih this "mantra...."

YOU MUST NOT RISK.

YOU MUST NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE IS A DEFINED, MEASUREABLE RETURN - the unmagical, rational, logical, measureable, trackable DOT that's ABOVE all else and supports the ego's need to take, control, exchange, protect while avoiding RISK.....

The un-GOD of QUID PRO QUO.

Everything becomes horizontal in the ego land of quid pro quo. Energy, light and risk is always suspect. "You are giving me that?" "For WHAT REASON....?" "What's YOUR HIDDEN AGENDA???" Truth gets relegated to the spaggetti of personal protective/clannish/clique opinions which cultures and subcultures support/protect to keep the wagons circled from a terrible world where we always have to look over our shoulder.

This is crazy!!!!

And the whole world becomes one contiuous great big, funny Seinfeld Show.

I say, relax. Laugh. Let the children lead.

Try putting your ego horse out to pasture by risking in some way/shape or form with someone/something/somewhere/sometime in a way which does not expect anything back - no hidden agendas.

Just simple crazy, non quid pro quo tree climbing lunacy.

This is the transformation.

Peace.
