IT IS SEEDTIME
Seedtime, a time when in your life, the place where you work is a burden upon your life, your family, your dreams; when the politician comes to you for your vote without talking to you; when the politician knows little about how you live; when the politician does not talk about your problems because he is clueless as to how you live, how you think.
Worse is the politician does not care about you. To him you lack value. You do not matter. You are in his eye no more than a commodity.
Then there is the preacher spewing words of little help or consolation.
When the sun rises, when the sun sets, your struggles, your questions, are your struggles, your questions, and no one cares but you. You are alone.
But why should the politician care when he is there as an agent of a man, a woman, not known to you, who controls the money, with one interest, to seek riches.
And the preacher, he pretends to be what he is not when he stands with the man, the woman, with the money, robbing you of what you created.
He speaks of the Gospel telling you what it says, telling you what to believe, what to think, in total disregard to what makes you and me unique; that is the ability to think.
People want security, the means to be independent in a secure way. They want a life where the mental, physical and spiritual struggles are met. I say,
Give rise to a way of thinking, an old way, a conservative way, demanding the politician be your agent with a preacher who speaks of your inherent ability to think for yourself.
We live in a world where never have so many suffered for the few to live so well. This is wrong.
This suffering involves challenges to livable housing, good health, mentally and physically, self-esteem and a hope dying at the door of religion.
The resulting feeling of being left out, left behind, losing interest in community, and country, leads to alcohol, drug addiction and worse.
The political order controlled by the few perpetuates this failing economic order with its social order, while controlling the many, you and me, through control of the educational process and news media. But,
When one is left alone, faced with extinction, the instinct to survive takes over, looking for a way of living searching for answers not found in the economic, political order and certainly not found in religion with its agents of hypocrisy failing to address this search.
The way forward is to develop the idea, an old idea, a conservative idea, each matter, each possesses value, and these values are enhanced when this idea is the foundation of an economy breeding by necessity a political order caring for community and country.
You and I possess no economic independence, no economic energy. So how can we have a say in our lives, in the government directing our future, directing where our blood will be spent, when we lack the power to direct our lives?
What we are told to believe, the ethics we are told to endorse, simply do not fit the world in which we live. Rather our ethics are dominated by the ethics of the few, men and women of greed, who own the politician, owning you, owning the preacher. This ethics fits the world of the few.
Those who are purportedly our leaders do not deserve imitation.
Therefore, I say this.
Want to predict the future, then create the future as President Lincoln said. Or as Jesus said, exert your will. See that,
The liberal is no more honest than the conservative for each wants the same, power, power for themselves, for the men and women who put them where they are.
But they cannot have this power if you have this power. So, take it away. You can do it. We can it.
The politician robs you of your power. Your boss robs you of your money. The preacher robs you of your mind. Dignity is lost and once dignity is gone it is not possible to take it back.
There is a dream called America. A good dream this is. A universal dream it is. Own your land, own your country. Direct your life by the vote with the right to revolt when all fails to honor your dignity.
Our instinct for meaning, for spiritual fulfillment, for happiness, appears no longer met but the dream, the American dream, remains as always throughout time and space.
You are the soil. You are the water from the heavens. You are the Sun. You are the wind. It only takes that which is reserved to man. Free will. Demand your Will be respected and honored.
It is seedtime.
