About Five Minutes

 Actually, I have been working on being disconnected from time by realizing myself as an energy and not a physical being. As energy we are moving with a much looser connection to time and do not have to be affected by it in the same way as when we recognize ourselves as just the human. We are each a portion of all that existence is, we are layers of creative possibilities up through thought, energy, space and time. As these things we are able to be the source of power behind our own presence in physical reality and we can choose how we each represent ourselves in it. So we can be present as a 40, or 35 year old body by focusing on that point in our energy experience and making it what we are being now. Aging is directly connected to time and the grip that we allow it to have on our being here. Aging is also connected to what we are eating and doing as we play with time, but that is a different conversation. When we put our focus too heavily on the movement of time it starts to tak...

 I recently read a post that included words of Teddy Roosevelt, "A person who says they are American, but something else also, isn't an American at all". That creates an extremely limited view of what an American is and shuts out the history of every human living within the areas of the USA. Teddy Roosevelt did a lot of good things for America, he is often recognized as one of our better presidents. However his statement has some issues. In his time there was no Irish American, just micks and paddy's, there was no African American, just negros and colored; there was no Asian American, just orientals. He believed in white superiority despite the fact that he did a few good deeds to support a select handful of blacks during his time as a leader. He definitely was not thinking of any Native American when he said American. The post also mentions that foreign flags are being raised everywhere. I have to remind myself here that every state has it's own flag, as well as...

 When a group of people is separated out because they look a certain way or speak differently, and they are treated as if they had no rights I would hope to be connected with those who protect them. Instead I find myself living in the country that is committing the act of separation and cruelty towards an entire group based on slight differences. My country has made the value of life be based on how we look and where our family is from, instead of being based on the life we have lived and what we have done in the world. We have been a nation of immigrants since the day Europeans landed on these shores and began marking the lands lived on by the natives as their own. We have gone through times when we destroyed societies because they lived on this land before us, or we kept the other chained to do all the work because they looked different. Even in modern times we put any person that had a past relation from Japan into concentration camps, removing all their rights because they lo...
