Why? Because the old Greek meaning of \u2018psyche\u2019 meant soul\u2014implying psychology is the study of the soul. <em>\u201cAin\u2019t that metaphysical?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be fair the word \u2018soul\u2019 is technically an Anglo-Saxon word\u2014there still must have been some relationship for lexicographers (people who create dictionaries) to make the connection.

Still, most people who have studied modern psychology quickly forget the first chapter in their book for <strong>Psychology 101<\/strong> explained this old meaning\u2014soul. So then, guestimationally (new word or \u2018neologism\u2019), 95% of people think of \u2018psychology\u2019 as the study of the mind, and thinking processes with little to do with some notion of some soul.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, Fred Gransville\u2019s \u2018contemplative\u2019 article understands and elaborates on this reality, and related Christian morality, and also the consequences of evil related to Jeffery Epstein, and in his own words, the <em>\u201cCIA\/Mossad joint venture spiritual death syndicate,\u201d<\/em> starting out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Enigma of Evil<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Little St. James was not a refuge<\/strong>\u2014predation wore gold cuff links and cologne, but beneath it pulsed a hunger older than sin.<br \/>\n<strong>The men arrived to possess symbols\u2014fragile, preteen, disposable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Their eyes did not see Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2\u2014they saw a quarry made soft by design.<br \/>\n<strong>To them, harm was the harvest of souls, and the more brittle the flesh, the richer the yield.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They feasted with full bellies and hollow hearts, mistaking lifelong ruin for conquest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There was no intimacy\u2014only consumption.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For every wound they gave, they carved a wound into their own fate.<\/strong><br \/>\nEach act stacked karmic weight like chains around the men\u2019s souls. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An \u2018esoteric\u2019 and dilating insight into the soul of the word \u2018contemplative\u2019 comes to us from Latin: &#8220;to mark out a space for observation&#8221; (as an augur does), from assimilated form of <em>com-<\/em>, with + <em>templum<\/em> &#8220;area for the taking of auguries&#8221; (see <em>temple<\/em> n.).<\/p>\n<p>The old \u201cChurch Fathers\u201d of Christianity were into mediation-like practices in which the soul takes a pause to look back on something as focused.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas *Google AI informs us: <em>\u201c\u2019<u>Esoteric<\/u>\u2019 refers to <u>knowledge, ideas<\/u>, or practices that are understood by or meant <u>for only a small, specialized group of people<\/u>.

Essentially, it&#8217;s the opposite of &#8220;exoteric,&#8221; which refers to knowledge that is widely known or easily understood.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But not all esoteric knowledge is deliberately obfuscated\u2014rather it just escapes the interests of many people who lack curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>[Note: the history of religions is fraught with \u2018esoteric\u2019 schools of knowledge (or gnosis)\u2014especially over the many centuries, or at least in respect to Judaism and Christianity. Also, more esoteric secrets (supposedly important but at times seemingly vacuous or inflated) can be found in many religions, even before the time of Jesus Christ, as well as the many splinters or factions of Judaism and Christianity, but also mystical and mythical Kabbalah and other labyrinths of juvenile whimsies of fancy and confusion.]<\/p>\n<p>Our take away, that we are somehow trying to get to in roundabout fashion, is that we should not allow words and languages to imprison us, or trap us, like they sometimes seem to do because we get stuck on one meaning or dogma.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the faculty of language is especially specific to our human species (even if many other species in the natural world we share have various ways and means to communicate meaning as well\u2014including making sounds).<\/p>\n<p>Another important reading skill when trying to learn new words during your reading enterprises is to also bother to study the \u2018origin\u2019 or old-word meanings (etymology) and how the currency of words throughout history as manifested today may have changed over time and place. This too can gift us to a more \u2018humanities\u2019 insight into how language and words have both plasticity and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>*Google AI insight: <em>\u201cThe humanities are academic disciplines that explore the human experience, culture, and condition. They utilize analytical, critical, and interpretive methods to study various aspects of human life, including language, literature, history, philosophy, religion, and the arts. The humanities help us understand who we are, how we relate to each other, and the world around us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some people are suspicious of words like humanities because it rest on the grounds that it is ok to explain things differently than how they are grounded into specific religious doctrines or dogmas.<\/p>\n<p>If you google <em>\u201cIs the study of humanities similar to atheism?<\/em> we get something like (within a longer response):<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c \u2026 Both atheism and the humanities, particularly secular humanism (a philosophical stance that combines the humanist ethic with a naturalistic worldview), emphasize finding meaning and values within human experience rather than divine authority or supernatural beliefs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201c \u2026 The humanities encourage critical thinking, interpretation, and questioning assumptions, which aligns with the rational inquiry often employed by atheists to examine religious claims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c \u2026 While atheism itself doesn&#8217;t prescribe a specific morality, secular humanism offers an ethical framework based on reason, empathy, and human well-being, which is compatible with many humanist perspectives within the humanities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 Secular humanism, an outlook often overlapping with atheism, rejects supernatural explanations and relies on scientific inquiry and human reason for understanding the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still these differences alone are enough for true literal scripture believers to outright reject the study of humanities (or any perspectives that counter their often rigid and uncompromising interpretations\u2014going so far as to attribute other ways of seeing things as Satanic).<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, words evolve and change through history\u2014not always but some significantly. Old word meanings (etymology from <em>etymon<\/em> \u2018true\u2019 \u2018real\u2019) and their cultural variations, can at times lend to us new insights and important realizations.<\/p>\n<p>Take the common word <strong>consider<\/strong>\u2014a word derived from <em>com<\/em>&#8211; with and <em>sider<\/em> star\u2014as if you are about to take, hopefully, a mindfulness-mediation moment, as if \u201clooking up into a galaxy of stars\u201d (to really ponder something from a more universal or momentous perspective).<\/p>\n<p>And we are not necessarily talking about some of those early astronomers smoking hashish thousands of years ago while pondering Arabian nights along a Chinese Silk Road. Rather we are referring to the idea of talking a moment to consider something from a broader or newer perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Detour ahead:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Proof Of Marijuana Use Discovered At Ancient Biblical Site In Israel<\/em><\/strong> (optional read not necessarily related to main points of this essay\u2014but it is kind of interesting that \u201caccording to a new study that identified cannabis resin on an alter in a shrine built around 750 BCE\u201d arguably they, those imbibing students, too were doing some kind of \u2018contemplative\u2019 practice):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marijuanamoment.net\/proof-of-marijuana-use-discovered-at-ancient-biblical-site-in-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.marijuanamoment.net\/proof-of-marijuana-use-discovered-at-ancient-biblical-site-in-israel\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Detour continued:<\/p>\n<p>Whereas many people familiar with alcohol understand the term \u2018spirits\u2019 as equally an animating force (in the plural form as who knows what energies might be released).<\/p>\n<p>Just like today you can find Ayahuasca retreats which claim to provide opportunities for healing and transformative experiences through the ceremonial use of this plant medicine rooted in Amazonian traditions.<\/p>\n<p>How To Say Ayahuasca:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch_popup?v=4gjgMm2_9_c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4gjgMm2_9_c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This Is What Ayahuasca Does To Your Brain<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So much for religious experiences linked to substance use or abuse (just know that you do not abuse alcohol\u2014rather alcohol abuses you and can do so quite forebodingly).<\/p>\n<p>Getting back on track: continuing with our deliberate excursion into \u201cword explication:\u201d the word \u2018spiritual\u2019 or \u2018spirit\u2019 comes from Latin <em>spiritus<\/em> meaning to breathe, like in the words \u2018inspire\u2019 and \u2018expire\u2019 (air of course which about 20% is oxygen).<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that \u2018spiritual\u2019 has both a physiological connotation, and frankly, denotation?<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, the word \u2018inspiration\u2019 is something we usually relate to ideas and mental thoughts, and yes feelings (beyond the physical realm). Things are a bit blurred here since art and music certainly can be inspiring, just as beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Words, thoughts, learning, schooling, education can hopefully be inspiring and includes more than simply breathing and doing physiology.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you adapt quality reading skills and attitudes you are more prone to read stuff that is more intellectually challenging and hopefully more interesting\u2014rather than some of the easier but readily available junk food equivalent\u2014like dogmas and left-wing or right-wing propaganda that claim it is wrong to hate those people but not so much to feel contempt against those other people.<\/p>\n<p>Superior reading skills allows you to better \u2018discern\u2019 the real truth-tellers from the fake political news truthers, as your intellectual skills, curiosity and breathe of awareness increases.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, people, we can increase our intelligence capacity by using best practices methods\u2014not gimmicks, not magic pills or exotic plants, not myths suggesting you can learn a new language in 2 months, etc., and certainly not speed reading lies that claims you can process words and ideas faster than old computers.<\/p>\n<p>There are physiological limitations to how fast you can read related to how fast the eye can scan (or saccade) from left to right.<\/p>\n<p>*Google AI: <em>\u201cEye saccades are rapid, jerky eye movements that shift the gaze from one point of focus to another. These movements are crucial for visual perception, allowing the eyes to quickly reposition the fovea (the central part of the retina with the highest visual acuity) onto different parts of the visual field.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Disclaimer note: Have no illusions about Google or AI.

Young, aspiring journalists need to study this guy\u2019s style.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to one of his latest when you have time (mostly always sagaciously critical) but read this article you are now reading first (then come back to):<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Reverse Russiagate, Americans Continue To Be Arrested By ICE &amp; The Embarrassing MAM Epstein Meltdown<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelastamericanvagabond.com\/reverse-russiagate-ice-mam-epstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.thelastamericanvagabond.com\/reverse-russiagate-ice-mam-epstein\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now backtracking again to our x-ray examination of words on the spiritual and human nature:<\/p>\n<p>The word \u2018animal\u2019 is often thought to be earthly or terrestrial (something that does not transcend death into any after-life). Not many thinks or cares about an afterlife for cats, dogs, bees or giraffes. Even the heaven of the Bible seems only to imply Homo sapient beings and angel-like creatures are pretty much alone in courting with the Most-High.<\/p>\n<p>Why do all these other species get passed over is a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>[Trivia moment: In the library this document is being composed there is a book prominently displayed: Feeling Animal Death: Being Host to Ghosts by Brianne Donaldson. Yes, on the esoteric side of things. Looks interesting. Over 300 pages with several contributing writers.]<\/p>\n<p>The Latin term anima means breathe and soul! You know, like the words \u2018animation,\u2019 and \u2018animated\u2019 as opposed to apathetic or lifeless.<\/p>\n<p>To think about the sheer diversity of species, climates, geological formations, oceans, and weather patterns, not to mention sun sets found here on planet earth, here as we know it can seem abstractly or concretely a bit of a paradise at times.<\/p>\n<p>You say: \u201cWhy are we bothering to elaborate on the esoteric meanings for these words?<\/p>\n<p>Good question.<\/p>\n<p>Because it is, and was, the human mind, especially by way of religious cultures and dogmas that bifurcated (split) soul from body, spirit from the flesh, as if these were two entirely different realms (and maybe that is not exactly true).<\/p>\n<p>Well, what is the metaphysics?<\/p>\n<p>Regardless as to the exact nature of things, when we engage in exercise, such as strenuous running to get our second wind (or to get into \u201cthe zone\u201d) or simply swimming laps in a pool we find that we rejuvenate our spirits.<\/p>\n<p>The old meaning for \u2018recreation\u2019 means to become <em>re-created<\/em>, or rejuvenated (and this is why it is so important to exercise regularly\u2014to improve not just our physical health but our mental health\u2014especially if we deal with a lot of stress and weighty responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Exercise too is heavily connected to spiritual psychology, as it contributes to our vitality, self-esteem, positive-attitude and other attributes that help us in our emotional and intellectual affairs and sense of well-being (morale and vitality).<\/p>\n<p>Exercise, and you may find that you read and think better. Your mind is clear. Your body is relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>Also, note that some people are better able to stave off addictions when they routinely exercise. They get a natural physiological neurochemical kick like higher levels of endorphins. All kinds of things are going on in the body.<\/p>\n<p>These benefits include a better attitude and mindset to take on the world and enjoy life. And at the gym you will meet positive people who are social and outgoing. This is good for your social life.<\/p>\n<p>Simple things like drinking plenty of water and eating nutritional foods all play a role in your physical and spiritual well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Even the word \u2018holy\u2019 is connected to \u2018wholesome\u2019 and \u2018health.\u2019 This is not just coincidental. This reveals the deeper subconscious knowledge we still retain from before history was inundated with Bible thumpers screaming about sin, salvation or the smell of sulfur and brimstone in a hell of screaming sorrow (that is before Abrahamic religion got so adamant about sin and punishment and some sects or cults of Christianity especially coming to equate experiences of pleasure as sinful\u2014when you were supposed to be groveling in abject fear and denial).<\/p>\n<p>Still suffering is something we definitely relate to here in the now while we live as animals (mammals). It is not some trivial matter. We naturally take it very seriously because it has meaning regardless of how articulated. We feel it intensely.<\/p>\n<p>One meaning of the word \u2018mean\u2019 means to experience, in the pejorative sense, low-minded or offensive, or threatening, as in to be painful. People, and, even spiritual deities, can be reputed to be meaningfully mean (and you do not need to be a genius to understand such\u2014any bully will be so interpreted rather clearly).<\/p>\n<p>But healthy minds and souls are not what people experience when they are violated by crimes and abuse, such as physical and sexual abuse\u2014again as this relates to Fred Gransville\u2019s article on Jeffery Epstein (or the corresponding police state-like actions that are clamping down of free speech).<\/p>\n<p>Arguably it is important to understand how human feeling, intelligence, ability, self-esteem, social connection, honesty, clear-mindedness, and human enterprise such as getting politically active are all important indicators of health and human spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>And society needs people who can read and think well, and critically, and who are physically and psychologically healthy. Then they can better work on other threatening or important issues when they arise. So, let\u2019s check out a few more important words:<\/p>\n<p>Relevant to our inquiry are words like \u2018morality\u2019 and \u2018ethics\u2019 (within discussions of evil and spiritual violation). Yet even these words too are not carved in stone.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Morality\u2019 comes from Latin <em>moralis &#8220;proper behavior of a person <u>in a given society<\/u>,<\/em>&#8221; whereas anthropologists understand there are variations in given societies. So, what may be moral in one society may not be as moral in another, and the same can be so for various religions and religious sects.<\/p>\n<p>This is equally true for the word \u2018<em>ethics<\/em>\u2019 from Greek <em>\u0113thikos<\/em> &#8220;ethical, pertaining to character,&#8221; from <em>\u0113thos<\/em> &#8220;moral character,&#8221; related to \u0113thos &#8220;custom&#8221; (see ethos).<\/p>\n<p>Meaning &#8220;moral principles of a person or group.&#8221; This is a word we likely discover when we study anthropology (the study of mankind <em>anthropos<\/em> in different societies and cultures).<\/p>\n<p>Arguably it is important to understand different people(s) can have variations on what is considered ethical and moral (even within the same culture).<\/p>\n<p>Such as the idea of abortion being the equivalent to murder by Christian ethics (for many) and yet not so much for some others within Christianity, and even more so for people who are not especially religious; whereas some atheists may argue that it is imperative for the human population to dwindle (meaning abortion to them can be moral, whereas indiscriminate sex, promiscuous sex, and people who are essentially immature for their age are not responsible enough to raise children with the kind of maturity children needs are being adequately met).<\/p>\n<p>This last statement is, of course, contentious (as abortion is considered murder for plenty of people) and for enough people this topic is off-putting, so we are not to dwell long on abortion, and its related \u201cr-word\u201d of relativism versus religious absolutism\u2014because we need to visit other controversial subjects.<\/p>\n<p>But one more quick mention of moral relativism, as we think of it, is the man who wants to have it legal to take his own life. Again, religious zealots claim only God should determine your death, or it is considered a mortal sin of self-murder. In another words, someone who believes suicide is a person\u2019s right (since no one asked to have been born) should submit to a long, drawn out and arduous and painful, slow death, by say, cancer, because certain puritanical, and frankly self-righteous Christians can demand that you suffer to \u201ctheir\u201d decrees and ideas of morality.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, it is not their decrees, rather it\u2019s God\u2019s (according to \u2018their\u2019 superior understanding of ultimate reality as relayed to what is found written on pages of human print known as sacred scripture).<\/p>\n<p>Some people choose to differ.<\/p>\n<p>The point we want to get to is: that when someone argues a certain position is moral versus immoral, there is still a religious and cultural perspective that needs to be acknowledged as making such a claim.<\/p>\n<p>Religions evolved as \u201chuman enterprises\u201d no matter how much others claim they originated by some supernatural all-knowing force.<\/p>\n<p>*Google AI says: <em>\u201cIn ethics, moral absolutism asserts that certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of context, while moral relativism posits that morality is subjective and dependent on individual, cultural, or historical perspectives. Essentially, absolutism seeks universal moral truths, while relativism denies their existence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Why are such distinction now especially important?<\/p>\n<p>Because one can argue that not only are religions themselves capable of being based on fiction but they can also be immoral (which is not to argue that any particular religion is completely or mostly immoral).<\/p>\n<p>And this is truly a cornerstone argument being laid down here in this essay: the Bible contains fictional as well as immoral judgements that are \u2018ascribed\u2019 to its God. For example, scripture delineates throughout the Torah\u2014espousing all manner of killing and punishment (especially for people living in the Levant other than the supposed \u2018chosen\u2019).<\/p>\n<p>Genocide is not something new in history.<\/p>\n<p>Are Americans, and Westerners (whose governments are being blackballed in tolerating genocide in Gaza) all supposed to take the Bible literally as moral law? This is modernity\u2019s gordian knot.<\/p>\n<p>Just because the United States is currently full of seemingly skeptically-deficient Zionist-Christians who choose to literally believe all biblical stories, like Balak the talking donkey (probably along the likes of gullible Ambassador Mike Huckabee):<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Story of Balaam, Balak and the Talking Donkey<\/em><\/strong> | Animated Bible Story (for children)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch_popup?v=R6h4XtzNWuc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R6h4XtzNWuc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Does a free-thinking human have a right to determine within his or her own will if something is moral or immoral irrespective of what certain authority figures, or even God, supposedly says?<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Marc Rubio (positions of authority if ever there were ones) claim U.N.

Check out this historical background of dragons from all the various continents and countries with all his interesting scholarship and he, like practically all, fail to understand the reason dragons are \u2018feared\u2019 (as forces of power) is because their fire is metaphoric to breathing truth against lies.<\/p>\n<p>It has little to do with physics or bacterial output from the gut. Dragons as evil is found especially in the West in which Christian stories equated dragons and reptilian creatures like snakes with Satan.<\/p>\n<p>The assumption was that everyone knows the dragon is evil so there is no reason to ask the dragon his side of the story\u2014rather the hero simply goes out to slay the dragon on the presumption that his soul and fate has already been determined evil as absolutist truth.<\/p>\n<p>In the same manner some political camps are trying to establish that anything related to terms like Hamas or Hezbollah is obviously evil and the only acceptable solution is death\u2014no trial, no journalists allowed into Gaza to report on the nature of things, only propaganda and the likes of Marc Rubio and President Trump claiming U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is a liar and she needs to be removed from her position of duty.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is she is breathing fire and burning through the lies. Don\u2019t be fooled by her well-mannered and mature disposition and rational responses to all the attacks leveled against her person. She is breathing fire and burning through the huge forest of propaganda that is attempting to suffocate her and the United Nations and the International Criminal Court, etc.<\/p>\n<p>She may not look like a dragoness but if you study her soul closely you too can see this metaphysical reality in action. The world needs its dragons doing what the do. Amen.<\/p>\n<p>Metaphysics: is the study of the ultimate nature of things\u2014so of course this would include anything and everything related to spirituality, religion and mythology.

Certain powers do not want Americans who can think critically and well, and articulate arguments that challenge authority.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the average vocabulary has decreased\u2014as people with vocabularies lose listeners or readers who cannot understand their expressions (shrinking the numbers of those who attempt to be informed).<\/p>\n<p>The masses are not supposed to have the intellectual wherewithal, curiosity and intellectual stamina to be able to think hardily and well. Rather they are supposed to be consumed with materialism, sensationalism, sports as bread and circus, narcissistic celebrities, and a general fawning over stupidity or drive or envy for material wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: how many of us who know the truth, and try to tell the truth are rejected, ignored, isolated, dis-friended, smeared etc., because we supposedly make other people feel uncomfortable or talk about taboo and scary subjects? Many are even rejected by their siblings, and previously thought-as, but apparently somewhat shallow, friends. We are not especially wined and dined. Rather we can end up being rather isolated from the usual circles. We pay a price as truth is a lonely hunter.<\/p>\n<p>Endeavoring to tell the uncomfortable truth, and then to be scoffed at as bigoted, or deluded, etc., is equally about spiritual psychology\u2014getting into the real world of truth, making others feel uncomfortable, while trying to create awareness.<\/p>\n<p>People like Francesca Albanese are threatened. Journalists and even health workers in Gaza are killed. You do not need to die to know hell.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, spiritual health can be more than the average lives of those Santa Monica, sunshine California, spiritual gurus who spend their days in yoga, spas, doing daily meditation and learning how to escape stress. Some such spiritual lives tend towards becoming a bit self-absorbed in walled-off life experiences, while wearing politically correct decorums (such as excuses to not care about those not so similarly spiritual).<\/p>\n<p>Spirituality includes really about getting into the down-and-dirty\u2014learning what the battle lines are in real life, that are worth fighting for, and protesting and making known your own wishes. It includes politics\u2014not an attitude that politics is primarily for the less spiritually astute (giving too much attention to life on this planet).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one such sociological story some of the spiritually fit and astutely cynical should be concerned to become aware:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>ABLECHILD: No Mandate in 49 States\u2014Yet Nearly One-Third of U.S. Schools Force Mental Health Checks on Kids<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joehoft.com\/ablechild-no-mandate-in-49-states-yet-nearly-one-third-of-u-s-schools-force-mental-health-checks-on-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/joehoft.com\/ablechild-no-mandate-in-49-states-yet-nearly-one-third-of-u-s-schools-force-mental-health-checks-on-kids\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c \u2026 U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy describing the mental health of America\u2019s children as \u201cthe defining public health crisis of our time.\u201d This declaration came after the 2021 Surgeon General\u2019s pronouncement that there was a \u201cyouth mental health emergency.\u201d And the Academy of Pediatrics and other health organizations declared a \u201cnational emergency\u201d in child and adolescent mental health.

Jews were part of the slave owners.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Western Christian Europe was far less likely to feel slavery was an OK norm, whereas it was part of Jewish culture for millennia.<\/p>\n<p>But due to the fact Jews have had influence over education, politics, public relations, publishing, Hollywood, etc. (for decades already), they have created literature and movie industry to blame European Christians as being the primary movers for slavery (and have successfully done so\u2014along with white guilt finger pointing so many minorities are encouraged to engage).<\/p>\n<p>Surely lots of other peoples were involved in slavery earlier in history, including white peoples (but not as readily and as long as Jews\u2019 real history, equally involved with slavery in the Middle East and Muslim countries for centuries\u2014including the slavery of white Europeans sold there).<\/p>\n<p>Still, this is just another example of what people assume about morality and norms because for the longest time, slavery was part of the natural order pretty much around significant parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p>And meanwhile now they are leading the involvement in having third world peoples saturate European countries, Canada, the U.S., and Australia etc.<\/p>\n<p>It is not racism or anti-Semitism to reveal these things\u2014this is truth.

The Jeffery Epstein scandal is one apex of this domination via blackmail or threats.<\/p>\n<p>Awareness then is spiritual psychology.<\/p>\n<p>Ask the typical western spiritual guru what is awareness and you are likely to get answers along the lines of Eckhart Tolle\u2019s ideas, like consciousness and universal consciousness, and not so much at the human or societal level (we are dust in the wind):<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Ocean Within You: Eckhart Tolle&#8217;s Simple Guide to Pure Awareness<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch_popup?v=MJ6m5DOER-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MJ6m5DOER-c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sure, it is important to understand one\u2019s individual ego and lifetime is just a small segment of the greater cosmos and eternity.

There are real deadly threats on this planet. The world is full of military inventories and capitalists who profit greatly on selling military hardware.<\/p>\n<p>You need to know what is going on about you (and surely inside yourself as well).<\/p>\n<p>Some spiritual philosophies push the idea of that adjustment is cutting yourself off from news and politics (as it is rightly just so distressing to the spirit).

For example, the city administration controls the police (another polis word).<\/p>\n<p>A quotation from Pericles, a famous ancient Greek statesman and general:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cJust because you do not take an interest in politics doesn&#8217;t mean politics won&#8217;t take an interest in you.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Power is something \u2018all\u2019 sane people desire and need\u2014at least to some extent\u2014because we all live in a biological world in which we have needs, many biological, but also with social, cultural, infrastructural and political needs as well.<\/p>\n<p>Heaven can wait.<\/p>\n<p>Many political philosophers argue a better form of government is one that is shared.

Needs have to be met (real needs not an excess of material consumption and sugar). Often such needs fall within the realm of economics, employment, health care, education and freedom of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, a truly comprehensive study of worldly power, as commonly called politics, would include, metaphysically, the study of how power is wielded in religious scripture\u2014since religions, as we know them, in the Abrahamic sense, make claims to ultimate authority and power (here on planet earth as well as into the afterlife (and supposedly what happened before creation of the universe).<\/p>\n<p>But despite Abrahamic religions are thought to be about supernatural claims to power, these three religions are not especially studied, historically, along the lines of the \u201cpower-politics\u201d of religion (like judging deities in the same sense we judge human leaders) or doing any kind of analytical study of the psychology of religion.<\/p>\n<p>We should ask why has this historically been the case?<\/p>\n<p>Google: <strong>\u201cbranches of theology\u201d<\/strong> and you will find many sub-divisions, but little stands out in respect to the study of the power politics in religion? *Google AI brings up:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"612\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"40\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"532\">1.

Everything is not black or white.<\/p>\n<p>There are shades of grey and rainbow colors.<\/p>\n<p>Skeptics look at \u201cGod\u2019s creation\u201d and they see so many various species killing and eating other species as a natural reality that has gone on for millions of years. They intuitively conclude predation is a natural reality in this God\u2019s Kingdom (and some believe this universe and this planet is what we will know and experience as God\u2019s Kingdom).<\/p>\n<p>This is one reason people like Netanyahu refer to lions as symbolic to Israel, as he, and they, identifies with predators like a lion. The heck with being sheep to a wolf\u2019s slaughter.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are not into political correctness and various forms of idealism. For example, when they hear: \u201cbut the world could feed twice as many people if it were fair and intelligent\u201d they scoff because this world will never be ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Monica liberals can study all the human potential movements the care to but there will never likely be a time in which mankind completely transcends war as some in the spiritual psychology movement suggests (as if you can wave a wand and people will act accordingly).<\/p>\n<p>Hobbes maxim still applies: \u201cLife is nasty, brutal and short\u201d not that mankind should just accept this attitude. No, quite the opposite, we should fight for justice and determine justice in humanitarian terms. But to live in some fairy world of hope, idealism and prayer is simply to escape reality.<\/p>\n<p>In the same manner some people who espouse ultra-libertarianism believe in the egotism of the self, that it is all about out-competing others, let the forces of natural selection play out, and let the pieces fall where they may, because if a real God cared about no one suffering \u2018he\u2019 would have made a world of no suffering.<\/p>\n<p>They tend to think people should stop being so darn caring, and worrying about all these other groups of people. Just get as much and take as much as you can because the world is not going to change to any kind of utopia.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly plenty don\u2019t give a fiddle about an afterlife because they don\u2019t believe in one.<\/p>\n<p>Nor do some, such as some Israelis, seem to care much about what others think or value, or whether they are even related to others.<\/p>\n<p>There is no one correct philosophy on life, but society works if people are willing to compromise (and this must be true on a world basis as well).<\/p>\n<p>Still, we need to understand peoples and cultures, and historical times can vary.<\/p>\n<p>Is it not critically important to recognize some hardnosed and criminally-bent types of people simply do not give a damn what others think.<\/p>\n<p>In a controversial statement in 2018, Benjamin Netanyahu said: <em>&#8220;The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong, for good or for ill, survive.&#8221;<\/em> In the Middle East, there is no place for the weak, while the strong are respected and make alliances.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows it: Israel is a bully.

Prepare for your own survival.<\/p>\n<p>Still, people should be aware they, the entire world, definitely do not want Zionist zealots running this world (which is their ultimate goal based on their religious interpretations).<\/p>\n<p>Also, in the diverse attitudes in this worldly mess of things, some atheists especially, whether they openly admit it or not, believe there needs to be a fairly drastic reduction of the human population\u2014regardless as to whether some feel it is truly justifiable or not (especially in relation to preserving natural resources and access to things as simple as water, land and food).<\/p>\n<p>And metaphysically, some of the more criminally minded believe that since when a person dies, he or she is dead (and this is the end of the story) and if he or she was not punished for crimes while alive on planet earth they never will be.
