Living a life in the present moment of awareness and connection…

The consensus reality not being actual reality at all, but becoming reality for any and all that fall prey to this misdirection.

Much food for thought about old ideas of “good” and “evil” and what’s in store for us next. I’m off to digest …

Jeannette´s last blog ..What Would Make It An “Of Course”?

Awareness is all!

Most of what we as individuals get so caught up in is simply misdirection that takes us away from the most important things we can be doing for ourselves, as well as for the entirety of us as a people (and I’m not talking nationally, but globally).

These are Awareness, Presence in the Moment (The Now!) and Connection to the Universe and therefore it’s Creator…

Thanks for your thoughts!

Earlier today, we posted this comment regarding the Supreme Court nominee:

“I generally try to analyze things from a systemic or structural perspective, and not with a goal in mind as to what I personally want or value. If systems are to remain strong, and maintain integrity, it does not matter whether they work for you or your interests at a static point in time. It’s intellectually dishonest to accept something when it works for you, and then challenge it when it doesn’t. That degrades the system.

“Why do we really care about the philosophy of a potential justice? (1) Whoever it is is only 1 of 9. (2) The other 8 were appointed by various other Presidents with differing philosophies. (3) Very few appellate cases actually reach the highest court in the land. It is very difficult to have the court grant certiorari, or perceive a conflict between the Circuit Courts. (4) Presidents on both sides of the aisle have the opportunity to submit their nominees, and thus arguably, the pendulum swings both ways over time from a long term perspective.

“The notion that legal doctrine can be maintained at any static position, or pursued in a dynamic fashion, is a manipulation of the system, and depending on one’s appreciation of the system, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. But that’s exactly my point. It should not be a good or bad thing, but a neutral thing.

“The mood of a country changes over time. In theory, we do not want our High Court to be subject to societal whims and swings. Seems to me that the citizenry (even with the Electoral College complication) picks the President of the political philosophy acceptable to them, which arguably is reflected in his nominees. Each one has that opportunity.

“As long as the nominee has not engaged in any criminal or inappropriate activity for a jurist, we ought to look at the big picture over hundreds of years, and not just the short term.

“Partisanship ought be eliminated from the whole decision process, no matter which side of the aisle on which one sits. Unless there is reason to think that they should not sit as a judge at all, then the nomination of ANY President ought be confirmed.”

Putting one’s personal belief structure aside is a key element in our approach to issues. Good to find someone else in agreement. We’ve had a link to your site for some time now, and noted a period of inactivity. Glad to see that you are active again.
