This is a time of social unrest. I believe there is more to it than that. There is a spiritual component as well as a power-play/political one.
As a result, there are those from TWDNHOBIAH who are 'fanning the flame' by setting up circumstances that would make anybody crack under the pressure.
On top of this is deliberate goading to get people upset through social media and current events.
We know what George Carlin says about the news outlets and who owns them. We know who is in charge. And we understand the 'Illusion of Choice' George so accurately described in his comedy routine so many years ago.
Here is a plan to reverse the lesson shown in the Teacher's Edition to apply it as needed to calm yourself down when you are upset by 'the news' and 'social media' and 'current events'.
There are many ways to apply it. Long story short, for every person you see doing something UNTHINKABLE and horrible and bad, scan through your memory banks, and call up not one but TWO people similar enough to that kind of person who absolutely inspire you and work for Creator!
For example, let us take the young woman who threw the first punch and ended up seizing on the sidewalk. As a medical person that was really hard to watch. Especially with my own case of PTSD and history of growing up in a bad part of town.
Who do I call up?
Marcus Stanley, who was shot and left for dead, but lived. He spent a year in the hospital recovering and needed to learn how to walk and dress himself again. He prays! Online. Prays beautiful prayers. He is a solid, upright, human!
And Selma Blair, my eighth grade Science teacher, who was from the South, extremely polite and proper and committed to bringing out the best in her students. She was pleasant and FIRM. And excellent teacher and I totally admired her as a role model.
As I was thinking of this, my friends came up. Beautiful souls--three in all--Keith Jones, Chris Reid, and Vaughn Masterson. Strong, good people who went to school with me.
It sort of snowballs from there.
Have love and gratitude in your heart and give thanks for these wonderful, amazing people who help you to balance the horrors we observe in the news!! Good outweighs the bad. Every time. If you leave evil to itself it will collapse--there is no substance to hold it up indefinitely. It might take generations but it will fall.
There are so many examples of people of all kinds who do horrible things. Hate the horrible things. Do not judge the person though. It is not our place to judge. Let that part go. And be on the watch for when you get that icky sense of dread from something you hear or watch or read. That will be your signal to search for two examples of similar background individuals you personally admire. This is the equivalent of putting a fire blanket on a fire to contain it and put the fire out--for emotions.
That is enough for today.
