The stories of the world need to change.

We don’t need more stories that tell us some people sitting in one place of the world are good and deserving because of their belief system.

I've often heard of the 50 cents on a dollar tactic when businessmen who won't pay get taken to court.

I experienced it as a freelancer, and recognized it right away.

It's not hard to assume he is planning to move that money somewhere else, or already has.

Was my father’s spirit there? Had my co-worker and I been “informed”? The timing of my co-worker’s arrival at the front door and mine, as I walked into the AP office, couldn’t have been any better.

#Samhain #memoir
CHAPTER THREE | THE BEAST SPIRIT IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE OF GUARD. My co-worker joined me at the door. “It’s quiet,” I said. “I’m going to see if I need to complete any training.” I walked through the fragrance and jewelry departments just to make sure no one snuck in while my back was turned. Then I zigzagged through the Common Area, down the hall past the manager’s offices, and around the corner that led to Asset Protection. As soon as I stepped into the office, my phone rang. I looked at the area code: 509. Eastern Washington. My father had been in and out of the hospital for nearly six months after he and my mother had taken a fall. I could hear crying in the background. One of my sisters told me that our father had passed. We talked for a couple of minutes, then I hung up, trying to figure out what to do. I walked out to the floor and told my co-worker. My emotions began to erupt, but I managed to choke a few more words out, “I think I need to go home.” ~ ~ ~ Was my father’s spirit there? Had my co-worker and I been “informed”? The timing of my co-worker’s arrival at the front door and mine, as I walked into the AP office, couldn’t have been any better. My father died November 1st. A couple of days later I saw a post about the Day of the Dead. I remembered thinking I was happy he didn’t pass on Halloween because I’ve never really liked the holiday. Especially the skeletons. I’ve always tried to avoid Day of the Dead celebrations for the same reason, but also because there wasn’t any connection to my history. Our family was largely Celtic. Then a friend shared a post about Samhain.

KUOW post from IG: The 70-year saga of the Uncle Sam billboard on I-5 south of Chehalis and its provocative, right-wing messaging took an abrupt turn this summer when the billboard and the 3.5 acres on which it sits was purchased by the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation. After driving by messages ranging from “Where’s the birth certificate?” questioning the U.S. citizenship of President Barack Obama to a pandemic post that said, “Oh, no! A virus! Quick – burn the Bill of Rights,” many wondered what the Chehalis Tribe would post now that they own the billboard. The answer came last week, when this simple message appeared: “Native Land” and on the line below “#chehalis.” Story & Design: Stephen Howie @howie_am_i Photo: Courtesy of Jeff Warnke Editor: Sami West @sami.wengelski To read the full story, link in bio.

I decided to try to put together a chart of the thinking processes that separate the Left from the Right.

About ongoing issues. The arguments for and against, as I understand them.

Where do we go from here?

Below is a post I just saw.

According to the bible, Jesus removed demons from people. So who is it that has demons in them, according to many christians? Who is it that will be going to hell because they won't accept Jesus as their savior?

We have the Constitution & Declaration of Independence.
I have begun to ask God to curse evil people and turn them over to the demons. Oh how the Leftists HATE that and accuse me of being unChristlike. I remind them with numerous scriptures that God cursed people and turned them over to the demons. Many so called Christians also hate it and call me graceless. I remind them of what God has said, and that truth is just as important to God as grace. In fact, grace without truth is dead. I have come to understand that we Christians need to be reminding everyone that they are going to burn in hell for eternity unless they repent. To not do so is to hate them. Perhaps they will repent. To warn them, even harshly is to love them.

Have you seen this quote by Carl Jung?
I DO NOT BELIEVE, I KNOW Carl Jung said, “I do not need to believe in God; I know,” which does not mean: I do know a certain God (Zeus, Yahweh, Allah, the Trinitarian God, etc. ) but rather: I do know that I am obviously confronted with a factor unknown in itself, which I call ‘God.’ It is an apt name given to all overpowering emotions in my own psychical system subduing my conscious will and usurping control over myself. This is the name by which I designate all things which cross my path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans, and intentions and change the course of my life for better or worse. In accordance with tradition, I call the power of fate in this positive as well as negative aspect, and inasmuch as its origin is beyond my control, ‘god,’ a ‘personal god,’ since my fate means very much myself, particularly when it approaches me in the form of conscience as a vox Dei, with which I can even converse and argue.” The message that Jung intended to convey, as written in his letter to “The Listener” on January 21, 1960 after his comment was misconstrued after the BBC Broadcast.

In Luke 4.33-4.41, people are watching demons "come out" of people. Demons that "knew" Jesus was the christ.

That's what they're reading.

Our president just said some people have the devil in them. We all know who he's talking about, & it’s in the bible you’re promoting.

We have a Constitution.

This is the part of the bible they are reading >

Luke 4.31 to 4.42: People having demons in them that only Jesus could cast out. Demons that knew Jesus was the christ.

We must get louder about what the founders intended, not go around promoting Jesus for them.

What's scary is that from Luke 4.33 to 4.41, people are watching demons "come out" of people.

What if people right now start saying some people have demons in them? I think they already are. They're reading those parts.

IMHO we need to promote the Constitution & the Declaration of Independence

This seems like the wrong direction to be taking in 2025.

The United States has the Constitution.

May be the first person I've heard say a book took 20 years.

Maybe it’s time to walk away from the words of 2000 year-old-men. Maybe their message isn’t reaching anyone anymore because people have figured out it isn’t real since it’s been rewritten and rewritten and rewritten to the point where some of the information is ludicrous.

Religion is divisive.

Imagine if every building that religious people separate themselves in were open to everyone as places to connect. No. I don't want to hear one religion's prayers. I don't want to hear one religion's songs. We need new all-inclusive ones.

They cherry-pick whatever they want from the Bible to suit their purposes.

Democrats can't win the argument by trying to argue about what the Bible says.

We have a Constitution and a Declaration of Independence. We have everything we need there.

The sad thing is that most of the pushback from the left comes in the form of quoting Jesus.

Then the right feels justified in cherry-picking what they want from the Bible.

We have what we need in the Constitution of the United States and Declaration of Independence.
