America is Great
The idea of manifest destiny is rooted in wisdom, where the ego desperately tries to demonstrate that it knows all dominions and domains - a fallacy - and so one relinquishes money so representatives (both public and private) can honestly provide the necessary information so the citizenry are able to arrive at a reasonable common-sense conclusion, the government isn’t there to protect the citizenry, its there to provide information in a summarized and consumable format so the collective demographic can come together to solve the problem at hand, secrecy in a democratic republic is an oxymoron, and based on the evidence, is not in the interest of a great nation with the greatest of people - a people without who I would not exist - and the challenge isn’t how much information is made available, its looking at the repercussions of actions taken if there isn’t a clear understanding of the evidence and the consensus that interprets it with an intention of creating a balance through hindsight that unveils a path for what can be manifested in a future that imagines the best of all possible worlds, and that is manifest destiny, to set the example for how to constantly strive for better regardless of death, poverty, or destitution. The Greatness of America is the spirit within which the scope of existence attempts to extend beyond the traditional spiritual frameworks, by inventing a new culture that is summed up beautifully by Benjamin Franklin - may God be pleased with him - where he stated:
“if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service.”
and there is a straight line from that to Glen Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Aron Mate, Max Blumenthal, and the unaffiliated ones, who are concerned only with what the evidence and the empirical facts point towards, a bearing witness to the environment, their own existence and with that they step forth in truth - all you need to do is state the facts and then imagination takes over - and the art that emerges points the way for how problems can be approached, and challenges overcome. America is an idea where everyone belongs, since everyone is in the same boat, and so must come together in travelling what can be at times a treacherous sea that suddenly envelops. Time and again, America has proven that it is a place where change can happen suddenly, without warning, where what emerges is a constant wisdom, overflowing, and today the attempts at impeding wisdom is represented in the representatives who hold an incorrect belief that a single republic can only choose a constant left turn or a constant right turn, that is the definition of madness, where one ultimately goes round in circles in the misplaced belief that it will lead to a place that has meaning and value in showing people the way to tread, and walk, and experience, and solve complex problems that are absolutely easy when I juxtapose the face of an American who is determined to manifest his destiny, not because wealth, status, and fame will be achieved, but as an example to the children who seek an example, and find both parents gone, working, and that is a scary predicament where nothing good emerges except anger, resentment, and a demand to know why. There is a better way, and I am certain the way will be presented by Americans who understand the idea of a single and united republic who look to one who presides with a fixation to represent the stars and stripes that is organized and well-formed, from which springs meaning, after meaning, after meaning.
The constitution is not a complex document not least because it was derived from the Code Napoleon which was derived from Malik Ibn Anas - may God be pleased with him - the brilliance of the constitution is an implementation of the general idea of Republic introduced by Plato through the words of Socrates and his outline of the Republic. Its an anarchist manifesto where the stated objective is “live and let live” grounded to reason where the democracy of the whole is guided by reason, regardless of if one chooses “White Power” or chooses to live amongst Jewish brethren the intersection of communities is a demonstration of how seamless integration is possible and its at those cross-roads where the idea of the true American emerges - a melting pot - the material evidence doesn’t change depending on one community or another, therefore each community is bound by reason and its reason that unites, regardless of the personal and collective opinion; it takes a strong character to step forward with a firm belief in their ability to represent all communities - like President Vladimir Putin - who is able to understand the richness of communities in creating a tapestry where like an autumn sunset one colour merges into another until the blackness unveils the majesty of the heavens, and the western nations are better in developing the idea of contrast. Human beings can be individual in their communities and thus absolutely whole in demonstrating to the world that the idea of America - all one under heaven - can never be broken, and its why I have soft spot for people like President Donald Trump who I may not agree with on all matters but feel he genuinely wants to unveil the greatness that the American ideal has to offer, and I feel his suffering in wanting to do the best for the problems at hand, yet is unable to because he speaks his mind in an environment that is looking to focus on a single word and tear him down rather than seeing the will behind the intention and offering to help him by providing the evidence that can be reflected upon, its the same with Senator Bernie Sanders - someone who I am more aligned with socially in wanting to take care of society through well-defined and efficient social programs - but there is no trust across the republic and the two parties have become stagnant in stepping away from the idea of the Republic and instead seeing what America should be based on personal opinion rather than the evidence that is clear for all to review and understand, and the Americans are serious people - and I have learnt a great deal from their seriousness - who have been misled to believe that they are helpless - only true if race replaces the reason why a thing is united - the truth is anything can change at any time, and the American is the one who affords another an opportunity to demonstrate change, today, a single mistake results in collapse, and that is what will be the undoing of America, the hyper focus on single statements and an emphasis on single words is why a fracturing is occurring, the context of the whole is missed, and that is something we all need to do better at understanding, so one isn’t left out in the cold, utterly alone.
Removing a fixed religious position from Government means that the world becomes what it is intended to be, a place of true discovery, multi-polar, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, all meeting at the fulcrum that is imbued in the constitution, where a South African, a Chinese, an Indian, and A European can all lay claim to the stars and stripes, where the fundamental tenants of religion are generalized into the idea of a land called America, if you cannot follow your definition of God then you will find a place amongst the ones who follow a version of God that is rooted to the idea of a man - the most holy Jesus Christ - who demonstrated to the world the feeling of love a single attribute of God manifested real, and its with that value system that all god’s, by definition, must function, a clear example is provided in over 1000 years of Islamic civilizations that demonstrates the potential of America, and Europe, rooted to enlightenment principles can bring the world together in its separateness. The anarchist does not properly understand this because the scope of their God is the idea of absence and so goes against the spiritual traditions, and that is where the anarchist becomes a void of rage absent of the idea of struggle that has direction and purpose in that which is higher, that which is better. The manufactured fear of the immigrant taking over is a myth, are the Caucus Republics of Dagestan & Chechnya filled with brown Arabs? Is Malaysia filled with people who look like they are from the Middle East, the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent nor the Muslims of Africa resemble the features of the people of the Middle East, they are unique people who realized the simplicity of what reality represents - in the highest abstraction possible, God - and so they use the associated framework in the context of what is already present in their existing cultural traditions, not to change, but to enhance and evolve - where the real threat is actually from a small group of people who have a lustful desire to destroy the idea of God and the meaning of the word rooted to language - which today exists in chaos - and acts as a reminder to the all nations to either accept servitude or suffer the same consequences, the challenge being, that America is teetering upon collapse as critical funds required for domestic infrastructure is being redirected without reason or justification, although, there are too many great Americans and many more who understand the idea of America to allow a collapse to emerge, if the left and right operate on and revolve around the evidence then the left and right serve as a mechanism to lift a thing up and give it meaning beyond the two extremes where nothing but a flat line emerges, and Russia and China are not the enemies they are nations that see a single earth that is inevitably interconnected, the talk of world war 3 may true, but only because there are people who think in an old-fashioned way, that worked in a time and place when the understanding of the world and who we are was uncertain, today most people are certain that the world is unimaginable in its absolute oneness, that feels, and assesses, and bears witness to the lands that are fought over because one side needs to win - and so I fail - there can be no intergalactic space travel if the status quo continues to be related to an idea where one is subservient to the other rather than seeing the merit of the idea at hand - I wish I was allowed to help more - I’m in love with the idea of the human being, and I owe a debt to America and Canada, sublime ideas are the only mechanism that can lead the way, and so its patience, knowing with certainty that there are people who want to unveil greatness - regardless of how they may present it - to manifest the idea of togetherness and be a light that unveils example after example of what can come from good intentions.
The challenge is the degree to which the example of Jesus Christ will be realized - and I love the saints and sages of the Catholic tradition and the Orthodox tradition - to determine how close one’s character can align to that which cannot be aligned to, the right hand side of God is an impossible feat, yet a man, as fearful as he may have been for a moment, demonstrated clearly the ideal of America, a home for the homeless, a creative melting-pot that cannot be challenged, the more varied the friend, the more varied the conversation, and the more varied the conversation the closer the friend, and I truly wish I could have spent more time in America with my American friends, alas the choices are there to be made, and path to Jesus Christ is upward, so prioritized choices need to be made, the balance sought is provided in the Muslim peoples of the world who over the last 100 years have demonstrated that the life of Jesus Christ has been manifestly real in the actual and real crucifixion and oppression of a people where the evidence backing the accusations was never provided, and so the response is “and so you say” what else can one respond with when faced with red-faced extremists demanding death of the Muslims refusing to acknowledge that the Ottoman Empire and its colonies when compared with European colonization does not result in Africans demanding compensation or reparations (except for the Young Turks and the secularists who pushed for the Armenian genocide which is more a juxtaposition of Ottoman rule under a religious tradition versus an atheist one). If America could enforce accountability at the local level, then the roots become firm and the locals separate themselves from those who are like the idea of a child where the child only see’s their own needs and its why racism is the pinnacle of the idea of a child who refuses to see anything other than themselves, and why the need of a firm and guiding Father is an absolute necessity, as an idea and actual reality, without it the child never grows up and the entitlement morphs into an immature mind that then ravages the world in its pursuit of that which one incorrectly perceives as theirs without justification, absent of reason, a waste of energy and time. Plurality is the test of a democracy; the bet that the founding fathers - and those who follow enlightenment principles - is that the core theme of God can be represented in a secular context where the essence of religion allows all types of ideas to be represented, and the founding fathers were, themselves, an example of that. Forgetting the idea of God opens the gates of hell, where anything is fair game, its scary when one looks around.
To clear up a misconception, that I personally had, is the idea of the Free Masons, the ones who built the Temple of Solomon, its difficult to imagine that the ones who built the Temple did not deeply understand the truth of the message of Solomon - may eternal blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul - they were people who wanted to be of service, to organize and structure a thing of beauty, as a symbol to the world of power that has been bestowed upon human kind in their brilliant imagination to reason a problem and then solving it, in creating balanced buildings, communities, and civilizations that are golden, in the rules they strive to honor, revolving around the general idea of God, where the temple represents the best of what God has made - mankind - in the context of understanding and preserving the natural laws - undeniable and available for all to bear witness to. Men are mechanical and predictable, the beauty of the woman is a blessings because it collapses the mechanical and predictable to a face that leaves all else without meaning and function - and today its just flaunted in its wasteful pursuit of a moment that may not return. The Temple of Solomon represented the antithesis to a temple that is all about form and external desire, its internal, a gathering place where ideas can be discussed, where thoughts are just what they are, up for debate, discussion, exploration, with a consensus where there is excitement in how society will be uplifted and made more beautiful as a result. The Free Masons thus sit above the all, seeing with the eye of certainty, and reacting to what the temple is becoming. We should be more like the Free Masons, illuminated by the light of reason. The challenge today is that the unending need to accumulate beyond what is reasonable has completely replaced the idea of the Free Mason who wants to create from an imagination that also understands the idea of Love, and so genius is forced to sell to the highest bidder, where an emptiness emerges that repels good and ushers in a potential for disaster, the solution is to return to the idea of the internal temple, and being of service, like the American, the friend, who see’s above the pyramid of needs. Nothing has to be re-built, nothing needs to be changed, the infrastructure of America that is in place works, the consistent standard needs to be applied to all and if there is not a single standard then the foundations are weak, and move constantly, leading the infrastructure to potential collapses, like a child in a family choosing his own personal standard at the cost of the family that is disintegrating, the fabric if torn can be woven back together whilst something new is sought to replace it. The Free Masons is the idea of building and what is built is what distinguishes the demon from the human, both can be controlled by an idea that see’s from above, like the person seeing an ant farm and the millions of entities that make up a community, seeing possible collisions and resolving them, looking out for obstacles and guiding the community around it.
There is no America without the Gospels, the root of love is desire and the path one will take for that love, and the struggle one will persevere in is the pursuit of love, however when love is absent the idea of the devil's horns begins to surface - the idea of an obstacle that blocks and creates knots - and then everyone becomes an individual, isolated where one seeks understanding and years meaning, and then finds art that demands a person become more individual, changing their form, seeking new forms of pleasure, and then there is no love, there is only the idea of loving oneself, the words of the Gospel disappear for He came for the other, to take on the sins of mankind as an example that life is a short moment where the question is the degree to which one falls into the illusion that death can be stayed, it cannot, and there is hope that America's greatness can shine through, and it starts by demanding the "killing must stop" uttered by President Donald Trump. The singular point of the Holy Scriptures is to establish a set of ideas so a community can emerge where the fellowship of the community is rooted in the singular idea of eliminating the roots of amorality in the context of fully aware conscious human beings who understand the idea of love and revere the idea of sacrifice for universal morality that spans all time, and all of space within any version of any reality - like the idea that Julian Assange represents - eternal, never forgotten, a lesson where only wisdom emerges, if that is the choice, otherwise the person of Julian Assange will move on to the next moment, surrounded by those who yearn to be in his presence, talking, and then pondering, and then talking some more.
Neither plenitude nor vacancy. Only a flicker
Over the strained time-ridden faces
Distracted from distraction by distraction
Filled with fancies and empty of meaning
Tumid apathy with no concentration
Men and bits of paper, whirled by the cold wind
That blows before and after time,
Wind in and out of unwholesome lungs
Time before time and after.
Demand is a fundamental truth of reality, every entity that exists has a demand - an intention. The square demands to be realized and thus requires dimensions, it demands parallel lines. A particle - when it comes into existence - demands an environment within which it can exist - in a specific state - it demands the need to collapse, it’s only then that the state of a particle can be realized, otherwise, it could be in an infinite number of positions which has no value. The entirety of science is the need to understand what the demand actually is - of perceivable abstractions - and its the artist who then translates that back to God - collapsing all matter into a moment that spans the entirety of the visible universe - it’s absolutely amazing how the heart can be grasped firmly and for a moment by the artist to provokes the scientist who paves the way for mechanisms in the world of business, and the everything stops. It’s not about the particle, it’s about the preciseness of everything that has to exist in order for a particle to be realized. The organism demands way more which as a corollary demands limits to be set, and the beauty of the spiritual traditions is their ability to temper not inflame by provocation, all are welcome to the idea of America.
The greatness of America stems from the scope of experience that it can potentially contain, diversity by definition forces, continually, new creations, and the best implementation of diversity is in the arena of ideas, where a subject matter is thoroughly analyzed from as many perspectives as possible, it’s not waking up if the only people you talk to are those who agree with you which is no different to one talking to oneself nodding in blissful ignorance, diverse stories reveal a path that brings a togetherness in a common understanding of what it is to have a tradition - a source from which communities emerge - a community is not a tradition, a tradition is a metaphysical idea - empiricism and the scientific method are by definition metaphysical ideas - it just happens to be from humans - and Calgary in Canada has the best of them in stepping forward and challenging a perspective so something better can be derived, and I need to do better, and my intention to help was perceived as something other and I continue to learn. The idea of America is to cater to and supply as many demands as is materially possible, from the demand to know religion & philosophy to the demand to become the most successful of entrepreneurs, America can never be outdone because it attracts dreamers and risk takers, its why at the root of the idea of America is a single statement
In God We Trust [the source of all ideas that are all encompassing]
America cannot be white, it cannot be Christian, America is a state of mind, and since the mind is driven by the circumstantial existence it is immersed in, the environment becomes crucial to the state of mind one finds themselves in; the environment is what determines what the mind is preoccupied with and that preoccupation stems from emotion and feeling, every human, at every possible moment, is in a mixture of feelings and emotions, it cannot be categorized because it’s not one feeling and emotion that is being felt - whoever states its one feeling and emotion is functioning from ignorance - and when one has nothing to struggle for numbness prevails - meaningless - and then one just wants it to end. The human being is complex and unknowable because at the root of a human being are imaginative ideas formulated as abstractions that - miraculously - any other consciousness will be able to learn and understand even though they have not experienced or imagined in the same way, its truly remarkable, what a human being is. Existence is a tautology to those who deny God’s existence, they cannot account for feelings and emotions and thus wonder in circles following their own shadow, the theist perseveres in the good struggle - as anxiety laden as it may be - like those who came to America in a before time with only sincere struggle in their heart and a wish to create a Republic for all, where the all are vested in the one. The brilliance of America is managing demand based on a multitude of emotions and feelings through a good story that reflects the state of a people through the artist that is aware - even if they don’t know it - art pushes one into movement. The flesh is a demanding substance because at its root is a near boundless imagination where we imagine that which we desire and we desire that in the environment that scintillates the flesh - like the idea of wealth - the soul is the only truth and the ability to test that truth is the circumstantial environment and the mechanism of choice is where the a law emerges where the fundamental principle encircles,
Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God, the things that are God's
The idea of Caesar is rooted in the ego - the self - we all want to live comfortably based on the environment we are immersed in, it feels good, the counterbalance to that is the idea of God - the eternal blissful and ecstatic state of being able to create whatever one imagines - an abstraction that can be anything one can possibly conceiver, however, it must be rooted in harmony and balance - for that is the truth of material existence - and pursue it whilst also recognizing that God is the final destination where the ego will be asked, and queried “could it have been done better”, it's not the path one takes, its the state one is in before their final breath. Democracy is a mechanism that limits the ability for violent uprisings and revolutions by providing a means for common sense reason to prevail, if the underlying principle of reason is rooted to God then all opinions must be compared in the context of that undeniable truth - the benchmark - if that is destroyed the founding fathers (and the majority of the enlightenment thinkers) knew the implications of the resultant disorientation and dysphoria - like being spun in different directions constantly and then attempting to walk on a straight path - its very difficult to navigate. The source of democracy is the trust in God, the definition of God is never provided, however, its absolute importance is rooted in the first amendment and the protection of religion at the root of which is the idea of God - conscious bliss. In order to trust in God one must understand the reality of God in the context of the histories of the established religious and spiritual traditions, each of which focus on a specific demand of God, for example, in Islam the challenge is to be as Merciful as Allah - the scripture demands to be challenged - the challenge from the God of Christianity is to be absolutely loving and caring - regardless of if one is crucified - the challenge from Judaism is using the law to protect and to be a savior to others - through the Law - like the God of Moses did for the enslaved Jews - chosen to be eternally bound to conscious human law - the elect. The aggregation of the roots of the various perspectives of trusting in God inculcates creativity.
Americans are those who pursue excellence across all ideas relating to the idea of trusting in God - the substance of consciousness - so as not to be limited by a singular perspective and frame of reference. Its an absolutely brilliant idea and the best part is I’ve experienced it - America unleashes the potential of being human by looking past specifics and generalizing based on demand - every human feels they need something, and Americans, based on the available evidence, are the best at understanding that, precisely, and then attempt to fulfil it. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have experienced moments with Americans that I will treasure, they become your friends quickly and even though circumstances take us in directions not chosen by us, when we meet, it’s the best. The hand of the American fits the sleeve of the movies and culture I was immersed in growing up, they are genuinely friendly. The founding fathers, I think, understood that the mystery of God (that must be bound by some material existence in order for coherent and singular thoughts to be arrived at) cannot ever be known, the complexity of it all is absolutely perplexing, it takes a gifted mind to be able to coherently organize the interconnectedness of existence - don’t let the gift of unveiling how existence functions drive you to absurd conclusions regarding the absolute truth of God - America’s manifest destiny is for those illuminated by the light of God - reason - which will bring forth an example of how that truth can be manifested for as many as possible - its the greatness of America. I know for absolute certainty that an American is an American first because everyone is comfortable in their own God whilst being understanding of another’s perspective - the most accommodating.
The American is that person who understands trial and tribulation, it’s only the American that ended up in America due to extenuating circumstances, some have struggled more than others and others have suffered more than others, the feeling is the same though. The American has had a huge influence on my life, I’m a nobody and if there is anyone who understands a nobody, it’s an American, they exchange stories, it’s what the American does - who hears and listens, and then listens some more. America will continue to remain great as long as the citizenry of America believe - with every atom of their being - that any political system, leadership or administration can be changed in an instant based on the collective and common needs of the American public, and the truth is that Presidents are purposely left in the dark and if there is darkness then there is nothing to preside over where from the darkness emerges any abstraction any construct leading to ignorance of the greatness that resides within. At the root of all religious traditions are warnings and reminders. the tell-tale signs of impending disaster, we are not seeing the world in such terms, because the scholastic class is so compartmentalized, so divided, so focused on the focus of focusing - more and more - that simple problems are being left unresolved which has a compounding impact if the problems are many and pervasive, the rot is being manufactured, and there a billion people waiting to help unveil America’s greatness for its in everyone's interest to have an idea of greatness emerge. Common sense reasoning dictates that massive displacements of people must be avoided at all costs, yet, its been a common theme for the last 30 years, perpetuated by the need for war without reason. The threat, therefore, is not external, its internal, the implosion will be inevitable - and all-consuming - if the collective choice is to collapse onto a choice that is like the idea of racism, a child who only sees themselves and what they desire; the root of displacement is fear, that is, when one fears the loss of something, then one is silenced into complicity allowing all manners of unbelievable actions to be perpetuated, even when there is an alternative that increases the well-being for all; the idea of America is a collective of differences that when combined can result in a community that is larger and greater than its individual and unique parts, a collective consciousness of people living as they want, to walk their own path, unhindered, with the scriptures being a general guide of wise ideas that should be well-understood, lest one falls for the traps of those who exist only to create misery. How much are our ways of life worth? What more is required and demanded by the collective us? The idea of capitalism doesn't need to be a thing where there are no limits where it becomes all consuming and the only true objective of being. It doesn’t have to be this way, the type of capitalism we pursue defines our collective type as a set of western nations. Capitalism is just another system, no better, no worse, except in the people that govern the system of capitalism. America is great because it has proven time and again that the people can talk as a collective and change can happen, even more so in today’s massively interconnected world. The idea of America is therefore global and America doesn’t need to enforce that in the Middle East or Africa, since the idea of America is allowing the merit of a person bubble to the surface instead of squashing good intentions and the will to make things better - a reality I have experienced, its interesting and absolutely frightful at the same time, to be dashed for the intention to make everyone be like the idea of America.
The American character, and thus America itself, cannot be unhinged because balanced multiplicity rooted in meritocratic reasonableness breeds unimaginable creativity, I’ve seen it and been blessed to be part of it, truly ingenious and caring people, especially those in government - the only place that is better is Canada. There is nothing that America cannot figure out and solve, however, it can only happen if the American mind is not Distracted from distraction by distraction. Magic is not magic if one analyzes the magic that is being attempted, it becomes hilarious in a “yeah I see what you are doing here, very funny” and the magic stops and the magician is exposed in his slight of hand and single-eyed view of the world. The American, when convinced of a reasonable position, collectively (left and right in the interest of the single Republic) shouts to the emperor “You have no Clothes on” and then come together in fixing the problem, its always been this way in history, when it gets to a point of total misery the masses come together and replaces the selfish egotistical ones who want to make nothing great - other than division - the founding fathers by instituting the foundations of democracy provided a means to circumvent the need for revolution - there is no republican party and there is no democratic party - there is only what is best for the local community, which is good for the surrounding communities and therefore the nation. Common courtesy. The mechanism of democracy makes revolution a painless process if the American holds tight to the rope of reason and the beautiful English Empirical framework - the reason why England and Europe will exist forever despite the hate articulated by Douglas Murray and those who are like him in provoking imbalance - and the basis of reason is love, the idea of love as defined in the idea of Jesus Christ - the unnecessary suffering of the innocent. From that one essential truth, the entirety of moral reason and ethical struggle emerges. The American can bear most things and will come together to institute that which covers the bell-curve in humanity - civilizations cannot be built around the infinite flat line on either side of the bell-curve - anomalies should not be pursued. Reason transcends class when all classes have the means to review information and the evidence, its this one essential truth, and in my experience its what the American strives for.
And America is Great, because it knows how to look at things from a certain perspective, and change, and it will always change, it won’t be perfect, but it will aspire to greatness, and then it will be like my beloved, born on the fourth of July. Seek the ones who clearly represent the interests of America, and if they are like Vice President Mike Pence - not concerned with Americans - then run and flee from such people, for they care only about the superstition of bringing forth the end of times at the expense of innocent children and human beings, its an easy fix when I see the beauty in the American that strives for what America is, Great.
