Transforming America Without Fear or Violence


People that support war and gun power while claiming to be Christians do not seem to get the real message of Jesus. To conquer death you only have to die. This does not mean go kill yourself. It means do not fear death. You will never stop violence with violence. If you kill someone before they kill you guess what? You will die as well somehow, some way and YOU will have to deal with the energy of violence in some way. Death does not stop chaotic energy patterns. Consciousness does.

Our ability to be in a state of flow and peace in the face of adversity and even horror is our great human gift. Here is wisdom and where it gets very tricky. The ZEN of the matter is that killing is both right and wrong depending on how we see it and the circumstances so there is no point in arguing over whether killing is right or wrong. The main issue is to understand fighting for peace by killing others is impossible to achieve and flawed thinking.  It is an oxy moron and so are people that think that way; morons. If you are driven by fear, any martial artist will tell you that you will fail and you are in danger of harming innocent people. Pretending some must be sacrificed is a self deception. The Ego has all kinds of mind games to keep it winning.A suicide bomber condemns him or herself to suffering because consciousness is not destroyed in death. And the energy of that event lingers. To kill in hate or even through mind controlled states leaves the assailant in a state of chaos that is hard to escape as it will repeat over and over as a frequency that has been looped or SINe waved into eternal dissonance. That is what sin is really about. It is a wave that is out of SYNc. We are all sinners because we are all sine waves that have fallen out of Sync with the mother  wave. Our salvation is in maintaining a harmonic resonance for the sake of others, the planetary environment and at the moment of death we are free from this fallen world. Some believe the earth is going to lift all of us up into a higher frequency that is void of pain and suffering. I hope so but until then we all have to work at it and there are no guarantees or promises that we will not suffer in this lifetime because suffering is caused by our own inability to stop the mind from grasping at what does not exist.

The reason we should choose compassion should have nothing to do with what is right or wrong but because it FEELS better and has better effects than the alternative. This overrides religious debates and wars. We all know the biblical God or gods lacked compassion often and encouraged killing and war and even had no problem wiping out mankind. If it is about PEACE then we must break the cycle of suffering and violence by mastering our emotions and thoughts and actions. That does not mean being a robot. It means not allowing emotions to rule higher conscious thinking and actions. If there is a bad child that is destroying things in the neighborhood or even killing people you do not bomb him and take out innocent people. You do not machine gun him to death. There are other ways of addressing mental illness. And that is what all of the violence is about, mental illness. Animals attack out of fear or hunger. HUmans have the higher thinking to restrain themselves and THINK through their predicament. Are we HUMAN's or beasts? Which is it?
 In order to heal the mental illness around the world it requires a great deal of effort and patience not weapons and fear mongering. Soldiers should be transformed into teachers and healers that are physically prepared to defend themselves and others without the need for bombing an entire country. A martial artist learns to redirect his opponent with gentle touch and to outwit him with a sharp mind. When I look at American culture today and compare it to the Asian cultures I see that Americans are still very young and have a long way to go in maturing as a nation. It all starts at the roots as ancient wisdom dictates. Do we want to teach our children to be armed and afraid and build walls? Or do we want to see them as  wise, physical and  mental freaking NINJAs that believe compassion and discipline are the key to a brighter future?
