VOTE FOR ME !!!
It is not hard for me to imagine horns on the foreheads of professional politicians. People that seek power over the masses, and cling to that power after their usefulness has passed are borderline evil, and will sometimes do evil things to remain in control.
I was born and raised in a city called Cincinnati. It was first called Fort Washington (after George Washington). A decision was made to re-name the city, The name Cincinnati was chosen in honor of a Roman politician named Cincinnatus, who after serving his term in government (though he was very popular) returned to the fields of his farm. President Washington was a great fan of Cincinnatus, and in fact after President Washington served his term in government (though he was very popular) returned to the fields of his farm.
George Washington, as well as the founding fathers of this great country, were statesmen first and politicians secondly. A trait obviously absent in todays politics. today we have professional politicians, people who (it seems) do not know how to do anything else.
We have three such people competing for the office of President of the United States right now…
- Someone who was (with her daughter) pinned down by sniper fire! while on a stately mission. oh but wait! she mis-remembered that. (seems to me, that if I had been shoot at, I would remember the incident clearly (which she did at the time say “I remember clearly”)).
- Someone who can attend church for twenty years, and not know what his minister is saying.
- Someone who is lauded a hero for being held POW for six years. Who while claiming to be a Republican, relishes his working with “the other side” more than his own side (echoes of Stockholm Syndrome?).
Of all the great people in this country, when the call goes out for a leader … this is what bubbles to the top!
Where have all the statesmen gone?
We have (I”m sure) heard it said “choose the lesser of two evils”. However when we do that … we still choose evil.
The solution? … Prayer … pray for our country, pray for our politicians. Be a bright light, after all, evil is the absence of good, where the light shines … darkness must flee.
We live in Hell … It’s our job to rise up out of it.
yours in Gnosis … Daniel.

I don’t accept that prayer is effective. To me, prayer is tantamount to begging.
If we identify a higher power as possessed of these characteristics, which thereby make it a supreme being:
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Omnipotent
Omni-Genesis
Then, prayer is a means of begging that deific power to alter our destiny. One that it, as an all knowing (Omniscient) being, is well aware of and in fact, as an Omni-Genetic source of all things, which would include our destiny, has already set in motion for us that what we find ourselves unsatisfied with and as such beseech (Pray) for it to change it’s higher mind, about what it’s authority has in store. Making our desire for change amount to our admission we’re not able, willing, or ready to walk the path that power has put before us.
We are the answers to the prayers we would voice to the ether. To sit idle and bow down, or bend knee’s asking something outside ourselves to intercede on our behalf, is abominable incompetence, amid those who by that device, seek to better their living.
Because, if anything invested in our well being were watching in the first place, we wouldn’t be in the predicament we’re in, that we feel we need to pray our way out of. Because that Omni-Genetic, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient power to which so many intellects supplicate themselves on a daily basis, is responsible for it all!
There is no free will, beneath the awesome gaze of Omniscience. There is no thing Omniscience can not know. And no thing that can occur that does so without Omnipotent Omni-Genesis creating it to be so.
So what one would find cause to pray their way out of, is actually the doing of that to which they pray to change it’s mind.
BE the answer to the prayer you would waste your time giving voice to. Spend your time effectively working to change what you think you have to beg something unseen to care about.
I am god!
I will never let myself forget that.
I wouldn’t say that prayer is begging, people that do not understand the power of prayer may think so. While it seems to be true that some people (if not most) use prayer as some type of wish list, I wouldn’t call it begging … More like asking.
Is there a difference between begging and asking?
The term “begging” seems to imply a sense of helplessness, While some people are brought to prayer out of a feeling of hopelessness, I firmly believe most are not helpless.
We obviously have different understandings of the concept of prayer … let me tell you how I’ve come to understand it;..
Prayer can be a focal point for your intentions. A lens (if you will) that funnels the power of your intentions into a concentrated area (concentration?).
When I pray, I sometimes ask God for assistance, to work with me towards a certain end, and other times a pray to commune with past relatives or saints, and I may ask them to watch over someone for me.
The Wiccan’s spell, the spiritualist’s meditations, and the gambler’s “C’MON NUMBER 7!!!”, are all forms of prayer. Prayer is a vehicle that launches the power of your intentions into the universe.
But …
Since you’re “god” … you probably already knew that.
Peace and bright blessings … Daniel.
