THINK ON THESE THINGS
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler



Never, never, forget that you are a spiritual person. Don't deny it, because if you were not spiritual you would not be alive. The real of you is spirit and you live in a covering which is your body. Your body needs a lot of blessing for it is temporal and your spirit is forever.

Sometimes you sit quietly and daydream -- but at night your spirit takes flight into night visions while your body rests. Sometimes dreams are simply because you ate too much of the wrong things but most times your dreams are there to teach you new things. Listen to what a dream is saying, and identify what is there for your specific purpose. They may work on erasing a hurt that you have carried too long. You are not supposed to hurt your whole life.

Color can explain many things in a dream. Dark colors explain dark events and crystal water is Spirit. You are more than skin-deep. You are more than just a human person. Never ignore that inner spirit of you. It knows more than you think it does and it wants always to help.

Great Spirit, today I will pray to You all day. Listen to my heart.

'THINK on THESE THINGS'
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

There are very few days when we have control of our time. No matter what our schedules may be, there is always a change taking place that keeps something from happening when it is supposed to happen. And when the day is ended and our schedules have not been met, then it begins to drag on our spirits.

Soon we become so wound up in the problems of the moment that the delights of our souls drift away and become a part of the most of "someday." Someday I will get to do what I want to do. Someday when this necessary work is finished - and is it possible that the things we believe to be so necessary are really robbers of our lives? Do we spend too much time with the menial tasks and allow our creativity - the ability to bring newness into our lives - to dry up and become nonexistent?

William Blake called this within us "God." One of the greatest poets ever to live, he believed that if we keep alive our ability to see and feel the beauty of life, our menial tasks will become easy and the way successful.

Yesterday is only a dream, tomorrow only a vision, but today - we live. If we live as we should, our yesterdays will be dreams of happiness, and our tomorrow's will be visions of hope.

Nothing is so sad as the man who spends all his time today judging tomorrow by his experiences of yesterday. He has a vision, but his faith does not support him to pursue it. If some great stroke of good fortune should overtake him, he will be all ready to go, but he doesn't really expect it to happen. So today he sits waiting for the world to change for him, never guessing that he is the one who must change.

American National Democratic Revolutionary Structuralist Alliance. .

While I have been an advocate for Democratic Structuralism for more than five years, I am beginning to realize that Americans are not ready for genuine democracy. Our society has become so corrupted and degenerate and so hard pressed that there is a lack of confidence in the people that anything that they do will truly change the system.

Also, a large percentage of the population is simply ignorant, self centered and uninterested in any progressive measures that benefit the nation as a whole. These dupes are easily led by sound bite propaganda that is based on the flimsiest lies.

Even more dismaying is the body of lazy, predictable liberals who are actually complacent with their habitual pattern of complaints and in reality do nothing to change things. . .and the mass of hedonists who simply want to consume and be entertained and who really know nothing about politics, considering even the most vital news to be boring.

It is now my belief that Americans will not take the reins of the democracy to resolve the pressing issues that we face, but instead will idle away the time as the nation continues to crumble.

For that reason I have decided that a more robust approach is needed, one that doesn't pause to listen to and be distracted by whiners, idle dreamers, fools or negativists.

It is time to join with other progressives who are willing to work hard, develop a strong leadership, build a strong organization, and enter a direct path to triumph over the ills that face our nation. We can't advocate increased democracy because what little we possess is being trivialized, squandered and misused to create an illusion that the system is working. Neither can we allow the dysfunction of this so-called democracy to slow us down. Time is of the essence. .

Personally, I would like to see our nation evolve to a society of socialists and anarchists who co-exist within a social democracy with a market based economy. But there isn't enough maturity or sophistication in the people for that to happen, and the dangers are so great and the damage that is being done all the while is horrific.

You may think that I am being too aggressive or intolerant, even fascistic. . .and I may think you are living in a fantasy land or are blind to the reality of what must be done. If you see a better path, go your own way. I don't know how you can deny the great harm that is being done by the rulers of the nation, both corporate and political. I don't think there is any justification for the view that "things will just work themselves out."

We must take action!

If you argue with stupid reasoning you end up being stupid. Expressing an opinion can run you out of bounds and into areas that are not yours to argue. And no one has any business matching wits with someone who hasn't a notion of honor. Consider what good can possibly come from a heated debate with someone who is in it for the argument alone. When there is noise and insult, the reason is weak. Someone said ignorance is behind every argument - but let's not let it be ours.
