One last observation to tie in spirituality with current political practice. Do you notice all the psychological projections going on, all in the name of the war on terror? “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism” probably applies much more to our Government than it does to our citizens. And to much greater percentages of them than is the case with citizens. By denying their own shadow, politicians are seeking to quell their own darkness, everywhere in all the world around them! They run away from the truth within…and see it in others. Because that in-sight torments them, they must quell it at all costs. Which is only to run into one’s own shadow again, and again, and again…while continuing to terrorize others in the attempt to put an end to one’s own inner reality. Which, of course, will never work.

Please post to blogs, call in to radio talk shows, and write your editors to expose the issue of denying the shadow as paving the road to judgment, polarized division, and government control. And please do bring the point forward about compassionate action, which will soften the response from the “Violent Radicalization” of the Government’s own “Other purposes” and agendas.

Thank you!
