Mr. James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior
What has happened comes from God, it is our opportunity for transformation and preservation of traditions and a 'different' status quo. What once held us back has no affect or effect anymore. We are the 'children of change' and we are about to deal with limitations and challenges, as it involves liberty and idealism. I feel this is manifested because of an 'unorthodox behavior', for and with, communication, dialogue, opportunities, harmony, and social responsibility. Today, 11.05.2008, I reflect on yesterday which was 11.04.2008, and think that was a "day God created for us to 'rejoice and be glad in it", and all eyes are on America. We are on the 'threshold' of our 'crossroads' to re-invent and reorganize our 'heads and hearts', for and with, 'affirmations'.
I have heard that the number 11 is an 'holy' number, so, I thought and thought, this is the 11th month, there just might be something about this 'holiness aspect'? On the 11th day of this the 11th month, it was 'veteran's day', and I am a Vietnam combat veteran. I felt that people, with 'differences and dissimilarities' are 'gathering together', like 'family', as this increase our 'individual' strength, for, our 'power' is magnified by the 'power of the community, the church; 'the whole is the sum total of its parts'. We are being blessed, we are blessed. What is the 'power' of a 'guiding force' which has led us to a 'shared vision', since, it is essential to keep the 'forces of unity' together steadily advancing to a 'common goal'. While on this 'sojourn' we 'expect the unexpected', because, gathered together we are more powerful and more vulnerable, yet, we do not lose our 'individual interest', 'of the greater good', in the crowd. We are in a 'deep state of sensitivity' striving for human interest in 'higher states' which propel us into the 'frontiers of consciousness, and we cannot control the outcome, as this is the ultimate test of each 'participant's integrity' to 'encompass a love for all via compassion, patience, and selflessness; there is sometimes 'solace of distraction'.
Affirmations. Most of us practice affirmations; as we are aware that by saying things, in the form of affirmations it solidifies the faith within, as this leads to 'manifestation'. "In the beginning there was the Word and the Word was with God, and God was the Word". The use of affirmations allow us to break old patterns and paradigms which create positive mental attitudes and combat any negative speak. I have felt and perceived signs from the 'cosmos', and know, we must maintain openness to perceive the sign and a willingness to act on the message and be thankful for it. What is non-attachment? Perhaps, we must be open to what is offered and possibly that life can be different or better than we imagined, for, it teaches us how to get out of our own way, and to stop limiting the outcomes of our dreams, goals, and wishes to our own limiting ideas.
God made 11.04.2008, a powerhouse which joined opposition between 'authoritative people and radical people' into 'children of change', a 'collective consciousness' empowered with creative power of imagination, inspiration, and energy which arouses our creative initiative allowing our goals, our dreams, and aligning all for the 'greater good'. We persevere, remain focused, and we are not distracted from our goal of Peace and Unity. We are adaptable, tactful, gentle and cautious. We must break through what has been holding us back; our transition is crucial and critical, eventhough, we are not 'Burlington Northern', but, I bet all of the American people, 'we can handle it'. Since, questions, answers, facts, and information are all likely to get complicated, and sometimes 'confusing', yet, we must be thankful for our positive influences. Social Responsibility is not only Paramount, but, Universal, as is Justice, Patience, Harmony, and Creativity.
We will double check our communications, as our inner voice will be fine tuned, and we are, so, guided by it. Our Father, Who art in Heaven, is asking us, the American people, to stand, despite and inspite, our differences and dissimilarities, because, our 'growth and maturity' involves us to understand, over understand, and discern our I Am. This is quite different from 'when kisses fall to the floor', and sometimes on the 'dance floor of politics'. And now, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is like a butterfly, elusive, yet, worth pursuing. While in the 'realm of my P.T. S. D.', I realized, I would experience, from life, 'conflict, confusion, chaos, and confoundedness', because, I, unlike others, felt that the number 13 as 'blessed', rather than a 'collective of people' viewing 13 as 'unlucky', as opposed to being blessed, and by sheer coincidence, the concensus is against me, because, of 'majority rule'. America, the world, and the global community, we are all in a 'sign of transformation' which marks our turning point in the 'process'.
In addition to harmony and inventiveness we are guided into an 'aspect' which facilitates easy change. This 'transition point' means it is crucial to take advantage of 'every' opportunity. Our 'spiritual journey' has to do with 'goodness' in human nature which 'extricates' greed, hatred, malice, and any other 'forms of self-absorption', for, we progress only when 'right-action' is taken without concern for reward, because, our 'awakening' is to our not being irresponsible to 'power, responsibility, good judgement, and financial rewards. We are 'agents' of passion, as it is our destiny to aspire, achieve, acquire, and inspire 'transformative change'.
We cannot go back, nor, change what has happened; so, we must move forward with a 'renewed head and heart' empowering us into a 'collective sense of direction and mindset of purpose'. Everyone is thankful, irritating, and erratic which makes it difficult for anyone to remain focused. I feel we must, deeply, connect with one another, despite and inspite of one another's differences and dissimilarities.
Profound issues are raised everyday, pushing and pulling us into intensity; this sets the tone for a 'collective investigation' of the unexplored 'shadows of our minds', for some this is very difficult territory, yet, the key is to form a 'cooperative' which allows all participants to maintain a healthy perspective, especially with 'unsolvable mysteries', like, "what about the economy?" We are peaceful courageous warriors, and ready for 'righteous action'. We enter the White House imaginative and must soften judgemental feelings and open us to compassion. We now need to purposely seek to connect, instead of separating ourselves from others. We are in a 'healing state' which helps to put us in touch with being vulnerable and creates potential for 'intimacy' when we push through fears.
We enter Washington, D. C. in our 4th house of $ecurity and the 7th house of partnership, and can participate whether it is viewed an adventure or a misadventure, for, we cannot afford to misinterpret anything, since, 'holding together' carries us to victory, increase, and abundance. Our 'relationships' with one another create our 'chemistry of shared vision', experiences, and commonalities, as we all must be willing to subordinate our individual desires for the good of the United States of America. Temperance is what we manifest, as it is time for self-healing. Temperance here is for self-control and to be at peace; 'our adversity is a mirror that reveal one's true self. We are pressured with ongoing tension between 'progressive thinking' and the fear that we cannot go back to our 'comfortable repressive past'. How do we talk about our feelings without being attached; the Scripture speaks of it as, "be a part of it, but, not in it; be in it, but, not a part of it". We can embark on a 'spiritual journey', now, and as pioneers we move boldly forward whether we know where we are going or not. We are blessed with 'unyielding support and optimism encouraging confidence and vision'.
What would it be like to 'tap' the wisdom of our dreams? We are 'challenged' by 'high spirits' where we enter into intense emotions of ourselves to deal with that we do not understand. Sleep allows us to enter a 'passionate state' which acknowledges the power beyond words. Could it be that dreams give insight, guidance, advice, dream/fantasy, creativity and esteem. It may be unsettling for some to believe that thoughts can dominate feelings, but, experience offers proof that they do not. My, your, our dream 'suggests' that the 'messenger' awakens the warrior enabling us to communicate, dialogue, feelings in a combative way. We are able to imagine and we move beyond words and are immersed in our dreams. We have capcity for 'active imagination' enabling the vision of our inner journey, yet, it is still an individual task to transform the most 'spiritual' vision into something real.
The underlying tension we feel does not have to be negative, yet, suppressing emotions very often increase apprehension, and most people are unable to affect 'intelligent strategies' which enable them to speak about their feelings without being attached; but, by doing so it allows them to grow closer without placing others, or ourselves in an awkward position for having to 'react' in any (un) certain manner. Our 'overview' is a time of composure and comtemplation, it is like a 'hidden force' which emanates from us, influencing others without their awareness; we must not underestimate the 'power' of this force, for, our ability to 'be still', and observe, deepens our resolve, and attracts 'good fortune'. We must 'discern' the differences between what is deep and what is surface within one's self and the outer world.
The (D)evil steadily strives to impede our transcending 'personality, family, community, and our reputation, but, our soul responds to 'celestial influence' which provides us with a stronger 'sense of purpose' and helps us remember our 'exalted origin' and our attraction to a Higher Union. We are consciously on our way home, in a 'spiritual sense'. We are feeling more serious, more contemplative, and exercise patience with everything and every one, as we 'expect' good news and are 'happy' for no reason. We must find honest ways to express ourselves without losing our temper. We do this via 'enthusiasm'; this form of energy is like powerful music which inspires a great number of people and loosens old constraints, yet, generate new opportunities. The 'power of enthusiasm' is best symbolized by 'music and dance', but, is guided more by the heart than by the head.
We arouse 'passionate support' of others who adjust their ideas and plans to suit our overall need. We dare to create an environment which is free of tension, since, by taking joy in our tasks we harness the 'power of song and dance' (i.e. 'the dance of the butterfly'). It is God's Will, and we are consciously on our way home, in a spiritual sense.
THE ART OF WAR
CONSCIENCE vs. LOYALTY:
Just because I am alone does not mean that Love has turned her back on me; for, I am bruised, but, not broken- James Edward Johnson, Peaceful Warrior
Most of the deception, the lies, and the manipulation seems to have begun, in earnest, with the Ronald Reagan/ George Bush Sr. incumbency, as then with R .Reagan, it was 'trickledown' and Bush Sr., it was 'newspeak', and then came 'new age, new world order', and "do this, but, say that; say that, but, do this". The War on Poverty is never directly 'championed', as it is usually called something else, and that 'something else' is perceived as a 'sojourn of emotion and motion', since, those who do not seek love, do so, because, they fear the loss of self in a close relationship, yet, focus on what is 'detrimental' to American society which is heartfelt and hurtful because this particular adversity make many willing participants in deception, lies, and manipulation.
What has happen to the War on Poverty? Did it cease after Richard Nixon's term and 'pardon', or because of his 'swine flu' fiasco, or because of his policy to put picket fenses, topped with barbed-wire, around apartment complexes that were, at the time, not called 'diverse', yet, were, but were actually 'labeled and stereotyped' as 'black-infested'. The 'high crimes', like 9-11, Bu$h Jr. style, cause us to live in the land of the blind, where the 'one eyed man is king', for, we have eyes, but, we cannot see, we have ears to hear, yet, we do not listen, to the end of life, which allows us to hold 'that' thought, since, sometimes to see 'light', one has to perceive the 'dark', since, 9-11 was & is intended to be an eye-opener, for the reality is, it was 'W's' cause, and access into the $urplu$ budget left by Clinton and Gore. It appears that Bush Jr. needed to 'operationally define' that it is easier to destroy than to create, yet, what is 'basic' is that we may be done with the past, (Jim Crow and $egregation) but, the past is not done with us, because, 'what was, affects, what is. "Change we can believe in" is a 'grassroots enterprise', it attracts 'creativity, constructiveness, and positivity', and this has to do with 'infidelity', between friends, neighbors, lovers, strangers, and the American people. Its 'manifestation' calls for 'a deeper love', unconditional, and is love practiced in the 'art of compromise', the only 'judgement' that 'liberates' each citizen, constituent, consumer, and any American person from conflict, confusion, chaos, and confoundedness, for, its 'metamorphasis' is not yet complete. We are 'misplaced' into an 'intense shadow of corruption' which challenge all 'social shifts of consciousness', and we must confront 'hidden issues and taboo topics', as a cleansing and healing experience for a 'change of heart' toward one another, to finally confront 'desegregation', because, miscegenation is the same as 'integration'.
Justice and Truth, where do they intersect? There are some who think it is the 'junction' for the 'Doctrine of Condescension', but, understand that it is a 'Sea of Mediocrity' found only at the 'hard edge of reality', which, like the Bu$h $r./Jr. admini$trations, does not take care of those who are less fortunate; i.e. the American people. While on the 'Isle of Execellence, we find ourselves 'Speared by a Shaft of Inspiration', for, we are struggling to find a path which allows us to 'do the right thing' and still know our needs without being so quick to 'depersonalize' our feelings, by knowing who I, you, we are and what we do is, now, important for a 'crosscultural' relationship, as in miscegenation. Today finds many of us in the midst of 'mixed' messages and strive to discern 'who' is the 'champion' for the widow, the orphan, the stranger, the fatherless, the oppressed, and the poor? In the pursuit of the 'American Dream', for some; because, for the past seven or so years, the Bu$h admini$tration and the 'Republic of Cheney' have shown the American people, "not on my watch", and there are no fund$ for the War on Poverty in the War on Terror; America! are you 'terrified' yet? $ince, most Americans are 'labeled and $tereotyped' as Democrats and Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals, Red vs. Blue, but, the most 'effective' controversial 'didactic relationship' is the Have$ vs. the Have Not$.
The tax rebate, the tax cut, and the 'stimilus payment' should be put into perspectivie, they are all a part of an 'axis of appeasement'. Something to quiet the 'surface noise' that is yelling "Recession", and the downside is the '$tate of the Economy'. Most of the 'participants' of this 'war crime' are members of the 'Bu$h admini$tration in the Republic of Cheney', and none of them are in the 'hall of $hame', since anyone infringing on their path to money is the only thing which will cause them to express their 'intense passions'. One of the 'paradoxes of life' is for the American people to look for opportunities to be generous, warm, and nurturing, but, only with Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. Human interest in 'higher states' propels us to the 'frontiers of consciousness', where we cannot always control what happens, yet, some of us have 'provoked to jealousy an image of jealousy', it becomes a 'time of vulnerability', 'juxtaposition of reality and actuality' which enables us to face 'fears of personal intimacy', miscegenation or not.
There are some of us who may feel sheltered from this 'madness', as we work to rise above and 'liberate' ourselves from 'limiting influences'. We must choose and decide to put 'our house in order', because, 'lies of vanity' and 'shadows of evil' have provoked to jealousy, an image of jealousy. Much of it comes from 'education reform', some from healthcare reform, welfare reform, not to exclude 'redistricting' and the illegal immigrant. Times are tough right now, as there are plenty of people who have a hard time getting by on what they have, and these 'hardtimes' will continue until this 'crisis' is over, or there is a 'regime change'. Most of us have kept our wits, yet, this occurs because each person feel they are the only one who still have a firm grip on reality, as each feel their 'superior intelligence' level is the reason they are not swept up in the present 'crowd mentality' which concerns Loyalty vs. Conscience or, Righteousness vs. Unrighteousness. The 'cosmos', Paramount or Universal, seems to be 'telling' us something by tumbling 'some American homeowners' into the unknown, like, the fires in CA., the 'housing/mortgage corruption' throughout America, and the 'floods and tornados' in 'midwest' America. "As it is 'above', so, it is 'below'; 'as it is' below, so, 'it is' above"; the 'displaced' misplaced Americans are experiencing what the 'misplaced' displaced Americans endure from 'homelessness, shelters, and being destitute'.
Behold! Citizens, Consumers, and Constituents, and stand, understand, over understand, and then discern that 'overseer' is not that dissimilar from 'officer', since, the part of the 'overseer's duties were to 'serve and protect', during $lavery, as the same 'creed' is that of the 'officer' of here and now! The '$tatu$ quo', better known as 'freemasons of the thirty-third and a third degree', is constantly striving to 'engrain' whatever 'addiction' onto the citizen, consumer, and constituent, you, the American people, especially African Americans and people of color. This is manifested via being 'sifted, tracked, marginalized, and disenfranchised', either into the Armed Forces, or more consistently, into the Prison-Industrial Complex, since, this is an avenue for 'revenue'. Some forms of addiction, like 'labels and stereotypes' are more and more effective and come with contingencies, in regards to addiction being 'amenable to treatment', yet, is somewhat 'paramount' (Paramount) or 'universal' (Universal) as 'social' forms of public relations or 'media saturation' about the person or people involved, but, does not allow one to reflect on the covertness and subtlety of the misdirection, misinformation, and propaganda and the 'direction' of 'ethnic cleansing and racial profiling' which is no different from Adolph Hitler's solution or resolution for the Jews, yet, is not so obvious to the 'naked eye'.
JFK set the stage for America's 'closet of skeletons', yet, it was Howard Huges who initiated America's 'abrogation' of the War on Poverty which changed the focus and emphasis to 'temptation' by saying, "every man or woman has a 'price of profit", thus, this brought the 'lightbulb moment' to 'exterminate with extreme prejudice' JFK, RFK, Malcolm X, MLK, and the Black Panther Party, as these people and this group of African American males were doing for 'deprived and poverty-strickened' communities what America refused to do. And so, 'addiction', was implemented to extricate people of color from the Labor Force, since, addiction carried with it a felony or a felony conviction, and no one hires felons (not by chance, but, by 'design'). This means that a vast amount of people never become, nor are 'qualified' to be eligible to enter a college or university, for this 'methodical process' has been utilized 'systemically' and manifests as a 'state of deprivation' which means there is no way to the American Dream.
In the 'news', for example, in 1946: The concern, for and with, this endeavor is perceived and/or known as a ‘foreign unknown substance’ (floride) ingested by unsuspecting ‘testees’ (the American people) is ok & in the best interest of National $ecurity (LOL)! This was the 'first metamorphatic test' misplaced on citizens, consumers, constituents, and the American peopl; and American society was 'changed' from the 'Politics of Character and Character Ethics to the Politics of Personality and Personality Ethics'. Is it public knowledge that the 'mandatory compulsory education' mandate, in America is Constitutionally guilty of 'under educating' people of color, and have done so for generations. What 'under education' does is it 'targets' those who are to be 'sifted, tracked, marginalized, and disenfranchised', and are 'delegated and relegated' into a lifestyle of poverty, or a 'state of deprivation'; always struggling for 'financial empowerment and upward mobility', yet, never reaching the American Dream. The 2008 Presidential Campaign has brought into public view the 'issue of race', and that 'education reform' does nothing for the American people who are living in poverty or below the 'poverty line'.
Viewed from the 'parallax view' it is a 'bellicose and nefarious' point of view when the 'major targets' are 'systemically' kept in such a 'paradox' which usually benefit the '$tatu$ quo', and most Caucasians. After a while this struggle misplace many into complacency, despair, frustration, procrastination, disgust, disrespect, and a lack of sefl-esteem, which is 'construed' via philosophy, politics, socio-psychology, and theology to contribute, more and more, to people becoming volatile, hostile, and aggressive, in an 'acute' sense; remember 9-11 was 'freemason of the thirty-third and a third degree' endeavor. The 'reflection' is still, for and with, the War on Poverty. My 'catharsis' is of Tupac and a shared experience of oppre$$ion$ which concern 'mandatory compulsory education' and is the manifestation of 'under education' of people of color which does not exclude poor Caucasians, nor others of different ethnicity; then there are those who the 'sympathizers' for the 'cause' of white people, especially, those 'whites' who strive to stand valiant for Principle and Truth, since, their expressions are viewed as Passionate, but, for African Americans, or people of color, who express for the same reasons always are expressed as Anger and Rage, but, never as Passion.
Why are there so many 'natural' disasters? Is it because of our 'collective negative relationships'? What does miscegenation have to do with our inability to accept our respective differences and dissimilarities? Most people of color are constantly and consistently kept in a 'state of deprivation and poverty', so, what measure of 'ethnic cleansing and racial profiling' is this in the 'realm of Never Again'? 'Common ground' enables us to anticipate all 'changing climates', as it increases our sensitivity and allows us to trust our intuition, now, by opening our hearts and expanding our vision even in dialogue about 'abstract philosophical ideas', and to do it with deep passion and a deeper love for victory.
We are in a timeless 'state of grace' where there is no doubt, shame, or grief. Because of the jobless rate increasethere is more 'economic pain', and many more Americans are misplaced in a 'state of deprivation and poverty'. When will the United States of America become color blind? The time is now for self-healing.
The 'value of money' has brought our emotions into awareness, so, each individual must keep ego out of the way and become attuned to a more Spiritual view. Conscience vs. Loyalty for the American people, like the Dixie Chicks and the 'comment' made about Bu$h Jr., was the 'impetus' for their 'ostracization' and being 'label and stereotyped' as 'unAmerican and unpatriotic', and instigated the 'conflict, confusion, chaos, and confoundedness' we experience, here and now, in the 'form' of Race, Racism, and the Race for the White House' instead of how we are, as a 'people' being'bamboozled'. The Consolidated Media and Media Consolidation present to 'the American People' for, they are provoked to jealousy an image of jealousy', in the form of 'controversy', or to be more specific; "do you choose Life or Death, Blessing or Cursing, Righteousness or Unrighteousness"
So you know the Gap Band's famous song "You Dropped a Bomb on Me. The group is from Tulsa, Okla., where in 1921 white vigilantes looted and America's most prosperous black community. More than 300 people were killed, 1,200 homes and businesses destroyed, and 10,000 citizens displaced. Some have called it America's Holocaust. This can be construed as America's 'value of money'; jealousy and envy about people of color who had manifested what was then called 'the Black Wall Street! According to the 2008 Presidential Campaign, the people of any sovereign, in the sense of a 'global community', stand on 'common ground' as citizens, consumers, and constituents. Which seem to be saying the ' answers come from within us, and no one else! Each sovereign has a 'head of state', an 'authority', who practices misleading, misinformation, misname, misplacements, misinterpretations, misdirections misconceptions, Mishnahs, and miscegenations; "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.
Judgement and a deeper love results in freedom from inner conflicts, for, we must practice the 'art of compromise' for the 'change we can believe in', since, it is the 'grassroots enterprise', of the 'new metamorphasis' which is not yet complete. We must use the powers of our minds to focus our energy to combat the 'intense shadow' of racism for more creative, constructive, and positive 'social shifts of consciousness', and a deeper love for one another which include our differences and dissimilarities, ethnic or otherwise. Because, of unemployment and no jobless benefits, there is coming a day when there will be no marrying, as many people will be 'named' less, that is, jobless, homeless, and carless, and most degree'd women do not want such a man, nor a man such a woman! So, as a society of citizens, consumers, and constituents we must reinforce a sense of 'sovereignty' within one's self despite any self-limiting beliefs, habits, or appearances to the contrary, this gives each of us the wisdom and the authority to achieve 'collective' goals. According to the 'tradition' of 'guns, germs, and steel' we are where we are, because, of our 'collective' stand on Principle and Truth, like genocide, Jim Crow, Segregation, the Holocaust, and 'a right to exist'.
Some Hawk$ and Dove$ have $tated that we are a 'nation of whiners', even though they are responsible and accountable for our 'tumbling into the unknown', via 'unconscious racism and mental recession', and other 'psychological benefits', like unaffordable housing and mortgage corruption, rampant unemployment, an 'economic crisis' on a 'global' scale. At best we 'dream out loud' and are 'fortified with optimism', yet, wake up in 'a $tate of deprivation and poverty' somewhere in the North, East, West and $outh of America!
