“My hope is that one day your gospel as well as mine as well as countless others can be used to create online something truly living and giving of the self, “The Bible Reincarnate.”
When I first began working on my own individual self, I did so with you in mind. I also did so during an age where I struggled to appreciate the man who was running my country at the time, as I balanced her unique history. It was during the George W. Bush administration.
Before that fateful day in September, I saw my country as a land of promise and innocence. Let’s face it, despite the wars and politics that had come before 9/11, the United States to me was like a beautiful girl who could get what she wanted when ever she wanted by teasing/flirting her brilliance, causing the boys (other countries) to stop, drool, and do almost anything she asked. Although very savvy as well as a bit naughty, she stayed a virgin to the world for she had never had to look upon the defacing of her self, her soul, and her people. That all changed September 11th, 2001.
You see, to me, it wasn’t necessarily the actual loss of her virginity on that day that caused such frustration within me, it was her mind, run by a man who sometimes acted as if he himself didn’t have one nor those he associated himself with. If the president of any country can be looked upon as the brains of the country, then to me, the United States
As I searched for reasons to defend her (The United States), I found myself searching so deep within myself that I stumbled after tripping on something; it was my soul. There it was, lying face down in the dark. I couldn’t just leave it like that so I asked it how I could help it get up and then I listened. Because my soul’s voice had become so faint after years upon years of screaming out to me when I wouldn’t listen because I was just to busy doing other things, I had to really listen to what my soul was telling me. The beauty of this was that in doing so, my ears became accustomed to the soft voice. I was able to focus on what my soul was feeling as well as needing.
After taking time out to listen I realized that I didn’t need to put so much effort into defending the delinquent in the corner. Although I should continue to respect the womb/ land I was born in, I should also begin respecting myself. I learned that the ill fillings I had to face when defending the person in the corner of the room were actually mine thus pertaining to me. Although it appeared on the surface to hurt whenever I had to defend W, the pain I was actually feeling pertained to me. What ever embarrassment I felt with W as the brains of this country, the true embarrassment was that I was ashamed to think that I knew better than he did. I had not walked in his shoes, nor would I want to. None the less, who the hell was I to judge this person who had already been beaten down with a multitude of ugliness against him.
As these facet’s came into existence, I found myself finding ways to appreciate W because I first began to find ways to appreciate me. W actually had inspired me productively in many ways for the more I began to appreciate myself, the more I found myself not exactly appreciating W but appreciating the fact that I wouldn’t ever need someone like W in my life. It was then that I was able to sit down and write the following:
Government
1. Because I don’t believe in organized religion, I do not believe in organized
government but will respect it and stroke the egos of the leaders that believe in it
remembering that I am on my own path while they are on theirs.
2. Because I don’t believe in organized government, I feel no need to fight for land made of earth defined as my country for I believe such land should belong to all of the world therefore I only occupy what ever space I am in when I am in that space. To think otherwise shows discontent to my god and me.
3. I believe that war created by others only shows there personal issues thus reflecting whatever personal problems they may have with someone or something else based on a life they have already lived and are trying to find justification for but can not because they refuse to look outside of the box of possibilities/reincarnation.
4. I believe that war is an excuse for weak leaders to show off what they may define as might but in reality show off the issues of there own self, praising yet scaring the country they are the leader of and in doing so attempt to create similar issues in the people whose countries they are attempting to conquer.
5. I believe that the only true government is within me whose flag is thy soul and whose people are simply thyself and whose god belongs to only thyself at the same time respecting the god or gods of others for they are all one in the same.
6.) I believe organized government has only lead innocent people into war and or genocide because people have thought government leaders have known better.
7. I will create my own self government, spiritually, lessoning the burden of guilt I have found when trying to defend the government that rules the country I live in.
8. After generations of learning from family, watching political blunders, and war, I believe I understand what I need to do in life and how to go about it.
9. I believe government officials are simply people who have an extreme need to have more than what they already have whether it be money or authority therefore why should I waist my time and energy investigating in the life of a wealthy person who’s goals and objectives are to make more money for themselves or to believe they have power over me.
10. I believe if everyone took on the responsibility to take care of them self and do so in a way that was not harmful to them self or to others, government would not be necessary.
11. I believe that it is possible that because my ancestors followed leaders and did so since the beginning of time whether they wanted to or not they did so because they were unaware of what the world was like.
12.Today, we have waves of ways to gather information with ease thus limiting our fear of the unknown.
13. Do I really need someone to posses my way of thinking or have such an influence over my life?
14. Do I want to remain powerless? No!
15. Therefore I mentally as well as spiritually take back the power I have given my government and believe in myself more than I ever have.
16. If faith is having complete confidence in a person or plan why then should I not have faith in myself and my god?
17. If I am to be true to my self which means being true to my identity as well as to my conscious and wish to take responsibility for my own actions, why would I want to give such precious gifts that my god gave me to someone else?
18. Because I hold dear my soul and my spiritual beliefs as well as my life and because I take responsibility for such, I will not allow any government to capture any part of it.
19. Therefore I don’t need a country to defend unless such a country is I.
20. If my church of my god is myself then why can I not be my own country and take responsibility for my people whom is I?
21. By believing in reincarnation, I believe that I must consider the life of someone running for office whose life may be that with an issue not yet resolved with another. That other may also be a government leader which therefore may lead into a confrontation which may jeopardize not only my life but the lives of others.
To my Sisters and Brothers of Egypt I again shout out to you, " Egypt.... Rise but might I suggest that you do so internally so that you don’t waste your time doing so externally.
Blessed Be-
