Very quickly! Here we are 470 years in America! From 1555 to 1955 (400 years). From 1955 to 2025 (70 more years) in this country, those who have been afflicted every day, every week, every month and every year of their sojourn in America. Every leader that stood up for them, they either killed them, imprisoned them, deported them, or got rid of them so that nobody could change the condition they were put in. We are not now any different than the way the slave master fixed the slaves 470 years ago.
During those 70 years of hidden history, they broke a people, they robbed them of a name, a language, a culture, a history, a religion, a God, a country and the memory of what the ancestors built in contributing to the mods of civilization-they buried them in shallow graves. But they pretend that this has nothing to do with them. Desperate to erase the past, they pretend it never happened, they wish to re-write their history so that their wealth can be laundered to look legitimate.
They hide behind stolen religions-now experts in Yoga and Christianity with a dash of fake positivity and incongruency. With coded language, a message sent to erase a people who obstructed their MAGA, who got unwarranted rights, they bid a genocide more heinous than all evils the world has ever known. As the ground wreaks of bloated corpse and rotten flesh, the people grin an evil smile as they count the cans in their pantry. What has been done is now irreconcilable.
The Theory of Incongruence
In psychology, the theory of Incongruence refers to a state of discrepancy between an individual’s self-concept (how they perceive themselves) and their actual experiences. It occurs when there is a mismatch between one’s ideal self (who they would like to be) and their real self (who they actually are).
The real reason people are not happy in America is because they lack internal congruence. Our internal thoughts, words and actions and values are supposed to be on the same page. You can NEVER find internal congruence if you are not congruent with the world around you. If you are not seeing reality for what it truly is and affirming what is true, then you are incongruent.
When people deny patriarchy, capitalism, racism, oppression of minorities, horrifying systems full of inequality, genocide, lies, murders around the world, they are incongruent with reality. This will have an effect internally because to deny what is happening in real time means they have to deny certain parts of themselves. The more people avoid certain emotions and thoughts that come up, the more they run from it, the more incongruent they feel. The more dissonant people become, the more miserable they are. Cognitive dissonance takes away COMPASSION. Without compassion, they cannot learn what true love is.
The Purveyors of Spirituality in America
These days, amidst centuries old hate and acclaim of superiority over blacks, women, Jews, Muslims, Asians, Mexicans, Gays and pretty much everyone who is not white, Americans have somehow claimed the script for true spirituality through the pillage and squander of sacred teachings of ancient tribes. This superiority gives them an unwarranted right of authority to be the purveyors of spiritual truths which in their hands has become contaminated.
The main reason I question American spirituality is not just the horrible crimes that have been committed on its soil – from slavery to lynching and genocide. It is not because America has overseen catastrophic violence war crimes-crimes against humanity, massacres, death squads, drone strikes, invasions, assassinations, coups, overthrows, forced starvation on whole populations, mass murder, torture and inhuman brutality all around the world. It is not only because they have failed to admit and repent. It is not just because they have attempted to shift the blame of their monstrous acts onto their very victims, nor their current attempts to wipe the history of their crimes. They have failed to be contrite and remorseful and stop the use of the judicial system to carry out Jim Crow laws, it is certainly not because they intend on atoning for their crimes and stop what they are doing but the fact that most Americans are compliant and willing participants of the demonic systems.
What does it profit a man to gain the world and loss his soul?
Many of us think of the soul in abstract terms as opposed to a real and abiding SPIRITUAL CURRENCY. If the spirit is a Rocketship, then the soul would be the fuel that powers the Rocketship. Everyone has a spirit, but soul is given in increments to allow the spirit to travel to different dimensions and ultimately return to source. It is the energy that gives us creativity, skills, emotion, intuition, intellect, strength, blessings and allows us to give meaningful contributions to the world. Whatever we focus on, revere, fear and love, we give our soul to. This is why people mourn the loss of relationships or jobs because they gave their soul to it, and it yielded no return.
The phrase “what does it profit a man to gain the world” originates from Mark 8:36, questions the value of worldly success compared to spiritual well-being. It emphasizes that gaining material wealth, power, and status is ultimately temporary and fleeting, lacking eternal value. The rhetorical question challenges individuals to reflect on their priorities, urging them to consider the true cost of pursuing worldly gains at the expense of their soul. In essence, it suggests that spiritual fulfillment is far more valuable than any material.
Country, flag, ideologies, titles, material gains, toxic relationships are soul guzzlers. Guard your mind and energy judiciously during these perilous times as we may be in for judgement calls.
In love and light.
