Every day we have a choice, and we must choose - either love, or the call for love. And everyone knows the difference.

Forgiveness is love. Retribution is hate/fear. This is not complicated. Every moment we must choose. Who could find the choice between miracles and murder hard to make, if you knew that is what we are being asked to do?

( 2 ) On the authoritarian vs fascism discussion: I get the argument for each side, but our moment, this time in our collective experience as Americans calls for clarity and urgency. Which term best conveys this?

We need a new word for what we're seeing in the US federal government. Let's call it " hypercorruption."

Level 2. Every day, more lies. Big ones, small ones, silly ones, serious ones. The flood continues. "The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil." Level 1. The truth cannot die. It lives in all of us. It can be covered over, but only temporarily.We know what we know. No fear. Know peace.

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Accessibility. This is the American promise. Obviously, not always fulfilled. What is the alternative? Whiteness. Unfairness. Exclusion. Inaccessibility. An American nightmare. Like "fake news," "woke" or "hoax" the technique is to turn everything upside down.

I'd like to see Democrats play up and clearly communicate the fact that they are the party of fiscal responsibility. It's one thing to show charts but far more important to demonstrate what responsibility to our future generations means, and what acting like an adult looks like.

Level 2 stuff: Trump wants Americans to sacrifice, to suck it up,in order to bring back American manufacturing. At least that's what he says. When have Americans done so in the past? Only when they are unified. WWII comes to mind. Has Trump done one single thing to unify us all? Can he?

Big shout out to the US administration for giving the fraternity of the European Union a once in a generation shot in the arm! May you continue to absolutely shit the bed with policies that have hilarious, positive unintended consequences.

Judgement is based on the ability to select. Here in this illusion it is impossible not to make choices, to select some things and ignore - choose against-others. So where do we put our focus? In reality. Light over darkness, truth over illusion. And in our community, democracy over fascism.

While it is insane to fight against "evil," allowing harm to be done to others when we could take action to limit or reverse the damage is a non-neutral action. It is a kindness to all to prevent harm. Always ask HP if there's doubt about what the next right thing to do is.

It is a mistake to believe that a thought system based on lies is weak. Nothing made by a child of God is without power. It is essential to realize this, because otherwise you will be unable to escape from the prison you have made - acim

I wrote this one nearly ten years ago. What to do in the face of insanity? Recognize that insanity is not created by God and so it can't be the truth. So no "response" but sanity is called for. It is insane to fight evil. It just feeds it, acknowledges its "power."
It is a call for love.
