Ghosting God, Ghosting Self
Day 27
I am being told that my writings are political and may not carry well with people who disagree with me politically, who may read these years later when the people mentioned are long forgotten, and they may be correct. And my intention is not to be political-rather to point out how we the people are ghosting God by not standing on and for principles and ghosting self by not following the demands, the calls to be holy, to be decent, to be loving, to proclaim and ensure freedom to “all the inhabitants therein”! Just as the Bible is written so humanity can read, hear, do and then understand, so too am I attempting for these blogs to be written so everyone can read, hear, learn, do and then understand how far away from Godliness, from Holiness, from the principles of the Bible, of the New Testament, AA, Buddhism, all spiritual disciplines we are and, in future generations, not stray as far as we the people have!
Watching what is happening in the United States in this moment gives me Agida, heartburn, heartache, sadness in my soul! The mendacity, the indifference, the idiotic belief that ‘these good christian men’ are the only ones who should have power, that ‘these followers of Christ’ would go against everything he stood for, is simply enraging to a Jew like me! I do not have the same reverence for “Christ, our Lord” as my Christian friends do AND I have great reverence and respect for the principles Christ espoused because they all come from the Bible, they all are reminiscent of the words and deeds of the prophets! The situation Christ encountered, from my reading of his words, is the same the prophets encountered and the same We the People are encountering today: the Priests, the Ministers, the Rabbis, are going along with the people in power and the wealthy so they can enjoy and reap the benefits of being next to power! Just ask Clarence Thomas what this feel likes and the joy he experiences by selling his soul to “The (WHITE) MAN!!
Of course my disdain, my bewilderment, my rage is pointed mostly towards the Rabbis who are on their knees in front of Trump and his gang. These supposed ‘men and women of god’ are worshipping false idols, they are making graven images of God, they are taking the Name of God in vain, they are murdering innocent people by their lying ways, they are stealing the soul of the Bible by their grift and graft, they are bearing false witness before Congress, before us, they are whoring themselves out to the highest bidder, they are coveting their neighbors ass, the neighbors’ wives ass, etc. Howard Lutnick and Jeffery Epstein’s were pals after all! That AIPAC would throw 100’s of millions dollars to defeat Republicans who have shown some backbone and pushback to Trump’s shielding Epstein’s files and his friends(which donny boy is one of), to the Iran War, to the high cost of living that is impacting people from every walk of life-except the billionaires who are reaping insane amounts of money-keeping the tariff refunds for themselves while they gouged the rest of us is unfathomable to me. Yet, this is where we are at. Do AIPAC and the Jewish Republican Coalition really believe that the KKK/South will rise again ‘good white christian men’ will “take care of them”? Do they not realize that every ‘good white christian man’ throughout history has either killed Jews, made us the reason for the troubles of the masses, spoken blood libel about us, culminating in the Concentration Camps in Germany and Poland? Are they so drunk on their ‘power’ that, like the priests, the wealthy, the people in charge in the days of the prophets, they are unable to “lift up their eyes and SEE” what is real?
I guess so! Hence the NEED for We the People to stop letting a minority of people run our country, our livelihood, our moral fiber, our spiritual health into the ground. I am calling out all of you so-called ‘normies’ who think your shit don’t stink, who believe in your “progressive” ways, who are certain that only my “conservative friends” will save us, who support the doings of Trump and Bibi in creating camps to demean and store like inanimate objects, the “stranger in our midst” instead of loving the stranger as God calls for! I am calling out We the People to fight these hateful, vengeful, thieving individuals who are giving money to the very people who go against the principles of Christ, of the Bible, who abuse the legacy of King David; calling him a warrior and forgetting his writing of the Psalms, his connection to God, his ability to admit his errors and do TShuvah for them. I know the life of People of the Lie and it is not good for the rest of us, it attacks our reality, our knowing and spits on our dignity and worth, our uniqueness and our gifts! We must put a stop to this RIGHT NOW!
ACTION STEPS:
What lessons from history have you internalized and are not repeating-personal history and global history
How are you confusing what is ‘good for your pocketbook’ and what God is calling on us to DO
What is the draw of the liars, the thieves that you keep buying their bullshit and your own lies
God Bless, Stop Ghosting God, Ghosting Self, Rabbi Mark
