Kim Kardashian's exotic mysterious look 2
"Dear black one-shoulder dress, I am officially retiring you. We had a good run, and it was fun while it lasted, but it is time we went our separate ways! Thanks for the memories! xo Kim." - Kim Kardashian
The depth and nature of our culture's malaise is evident in the urgency of this morning's news flash. If we had the prerequisite insights of powerful people it would easily be caught and a news agency would be chastised for attaching such importance to this against the vast contradictions of an event occurring in Washington DC this weekend. Conservative talk show host, Glenn Beck will be speaking at the Kennedy Center this Friday, the 27th of August. His site asks Americans to “Join Glenn Beck for an inspiring look at the role faith played in the founding of America and the role it will play again in its destiny. The audience for the event will be overwhelmingly made up of pastors, ministers and clergy: a modern day Black Robe Regimen. Tickets will be made available to the general public at no cost.
So, if you are sick and tired of hearing about how divided America has become, then join us for an eye-opening evening at the historic Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on Friday, August 27 that will help heal your soul. Guided by uplifting music, nationally-known religious figures from all faiths will unite to deliver messages reminiscent to those given during the struggles of America's earliest days. The event will leave you with a renewed determination to look past the partisan differences and petty problems that fill our airwaves and instead focus our shared values, principles and strong belief that faith can play an essential role in reuniting the country.”
In and of itself, at face value, it is noble, patriotic, caring, and selfless but the deep senses of many are chilled by what is behind door number #1. African-Americans with a strong memory, and a fine sense of self and history are alarmed at the similarity of the dogma of white conservative religious connections to suppression, subjection, and the tomes of white supremacy that fueled resistance to the Negro vote just a few decades ago. Native Americans hear Glenn Beck’s use of the term Black Robe Regimen and the bitter conquest of Indian nations, and American government, education, and religious policy to remove the Indian from his soul through schools, and churches awakens those who suffered through that system.
Intelligent Americans, in general, independent thinkers, agnostics, Democrats, etc. have not suspended informed introspection for the reactionary tone, and closed spirituality of the American Evangelical Christian movement that compelled thousands of conservative Christians to the nations capital. Millions of Glenn Beck’s followers cannot grasp the chasm between their beliefs, and the Jesus they follow and pattern their lives after. Their inability to embrace the concept of sacred ground has baffled and killed thousands of Iraqi citizens, and pushed some Muslim women to their edges and they turned themselves, pregnant or not, into bombs and killed people, as a sacrifice, against the uncaring, cold calculating indifference of an invading force on the ancient land that once housed the Garden of Eden. Unable to see the sacredness in their religion’s holy land Islamic freedom fighters recognize there are no boundaries the ‘invaders’ will honor as Americans convince themselves they are defending America in Iraq.
Dark spirituality has a hold on American politics, and millions of good Christians don’t recognize it as they try to live their lives with Jesus as their master. Ignorant of Jesus’ teachers, the initiatory tradition he went through, and the books, and practices he studied in his early life never touched Christian education. Without it this rally needs the attention, the loving, non-judgment of Wisdom Keepers, Light workers, Healers, and strong Elders to be in attendance. This assembly in the nation’s capital needs the prayers and the spiritual support of elevated souls. Did we not ascend from those ranks to become who we are today? They are our relatives who care enough to make a stance in a dark time.
