Following up on your latest blog:
Regarding the unbelievable and insane number of mass shootings that continue to unfold before our eyes here in the U.S.A. (the latest in Buffalo New York and in Uvalde Texas):

There’s a classic metaphysical principle that states:

“AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT”

Or “Consciousness tends to out-picture itself”.

War is WHAT WE DO as a nation in this country.
It is where the greatest amount of tax-payer money is spent by the government. This warring, killing , invading CONSCIOUSNESS is the Psychic Container of this country no matter how much we want to cast ourselves as “the good guys”.

We do as a country what Mr. Ramos did in Uvalde, and this “as within, so without” , seems to go—at least by the mainstream press and much of the citizenry—largely unnoticed.

We are witnessing WITHIN our country the mentality and actions our country is playing out OUTSIDE our country. (cf. aggressions—bringing uncountable deaths to innocent civilians— into Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc., not to mention our latest proxy war in Ukraine that 54 billion dollars in taxpayer money is footing the bill for.)

What led Mr. Ramos to kill the 19 school children and a teacher must certainly involve many factors—I am not meaning to be simplistic.

But I find it glaringly obvious when I hear journalists question: “Why does this happen in OUR country?” and “ Isn’t it a matter of gun control?” that one big factor is the “log in the eye” of the U.S.

Jesus, in the Book of Matthew asked:

“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but not notice the log that is in your own eye?”

Or . . . as Einstein put it:

“NO PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED FROM THE SAME CONSCIOUSNESS THAT CREATED IT.”
