Conversations with Melchizedek - Why are we so sad, hateful, disrespectful and depressed? Are we, the master of, or victim of, our environment?

Are you hiding behind your fears?

It matters not what side you are on, liberal or conservative, rich or poor, victim or perpetrator, majority or minority, republican or democrat, Christian or Islamic, not even race, color or creed, it only matters that you have created barriers to hide behind.

All it took was a little effort on your part to decide you were different, not one of them, an outsider, and you were determined to never become one of them.  They, your polar opposite, are your enemy.

Funny thing about humans that distinguishes us from about everything else in Creation, we think this Earth is our very own world made for the only creation with the ability to “think” and with the choice of a “free will.”  I guess we think we are the Masters over our creation and know what is best for Earth and mankind.

I do not remember reading anything in my research about God’s Creation being sold to the highest bidder.  Not a penny, pound, shekel, dirham, riyal, dinar, ruble, euro, renminbi, yen, franc, or peso among others, was paid to God so we could “own” the lands.  It was given to us, all of us, as a gift.

Earth was never ours to own, possess, control, dominate or abuse.  More than likely the Creator intended for us to use what we needed and leave the rest for others.

I have a lot to say about the self-bestowed title of “Master of the Earth,” given to humans by humans.  Then, not content with destroying the Crown Jewel of the Universe, Mother Earth, [so we think], we have now turned our attention to imposing our dominance on the rest of the solar system and universe.

Are we exploring the unknown of outer space to discover the full scope of the universe, or are we fleeing from our own self-destruction?  Perhaps, we made some bad choices along the way and might want to reconsider the path we pursued.

So, let us start with the environment of Earth that causes us to embrace all the wrong things on the Road to Kingdom Come.  We share the same environment with all other creations.  We think we are entrusted as masters of earth by the Creator.

Our natural or physical earth is protected by a series of miraculous creations.

The complex atmosphere of our earth…

The magnetic attraction of gravity…

The penetration of natural electromagnetic waves from the Sun…

The land, water and air supporting us…

And of course, the miraculous vessel we call Earth which was created and never ceases to continue recreating, repairing, and purifying so we have a place to exist.

Thus, when I say natural environment I mean like our oxygen-based atmosphere, our magnetic polarity resulting in gravity, the magical interdependence of the Earth, Sun and Moon in stabilizing the solar system, the life-giving natural electromagnetic waves from the Sun vital for maintaining our existence, and the land, water and air we require to exist.

Well, all of these things are contributing gifts from our Creator and when they function in harmony and unity, when we see the face of Jesus in everyone else, and when they see the face of Jesus in you, me and us, we are almost back home again.

As for us, the humans, remember we fellow homo sapiens were not the first life forms on the planet Earth, we were more like the last.

Give or take a few billion years, let us assume all of Creation as we know it is at least thirty billion years old, since the original Big Bang of Creation at the beginning of time, Earth has evolved and matured in our solar system.

After say ten billion years of evolution earth finally reached the physical stage, acknowledging that earth began in a gas form, which eventually evolved into the earth, Sun, Moon and galaxies.  Once physical the earth then created a permanent atmosphere, which transformed the once invisible planet into mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, continents and oceans.

After the addition of birds, animals, reptiles, bugs, mammals, a range of living species from ants to dinosaurs, along comes mankind now that earth can provide all the needs of humans.  Thus, in truth we are the first alien species to occupy the earth.

Can you imagine how Earth must have felt when the Creator said now that we have the Crown Jewel of planets in the skies, Earth gets to be permanent host to mankind.  Sounds more like Earth was being punished than rewarded.

Just look at the results.

Noting that the very first humans on Earth were created, then seeded throughout the world, and all subsequent generations of humans have been conceived, not created, one thing is not clear.  After the spiritual and cultural evolution of a whole bunch of known and unknown civilizations over the billions of years since humans were first seeded on Earth, what have we achieved?

One day our true history will be known.  Melchizedek says there have been seven disruptions in the evolution of mankind, when humans strayed too far from the plan of the Creator thanks to their free will, and it was necessary to make natural adjustments to the earth.  The vast majority of humans were lost in those meteor strikes, floods, droughts, maybe even wars.

At best our known history only covers the current cycle of civilization.  Far more information will be released in the coming days that will greatly extend knowledge of the existence of humans on the planet and shed light on our prior civilizations.

The vehicle of Earth has survived every imaginable catastrophic event throughout time and it is still here providing for our needs.  For billions of years Earth withstood the far more devastating natural disasters ranging from monstrous comet strikes powerful enough to create the Gulf of Mexico, super-volcano eruptions blowing holes in the Rocky Mountains and creating a debris field in the sky thick enough to block the Sun for years, ice ages that buried the Earth under glaciers, warmups and floods so severe man barely escaped extinction.

As if the really big disasters were not enough, there were the endless weather anomalies over the billions of years with “once in a lifetime” blizzards and freezing cold, relentless floods and drought, volcano eruptions burying towns and villages, earthquakes that swallowed up entire cities and continents, and fires that scorched massive quantities of forests.

Those are the natural earth changes.

Humans, of course, have become a force for concern because of our contributions to the destruction of the earth as well.  Whether we rape the land of resources, disrupt the balance of nature through development, blow up 2,000 nuclear bombs testing to see if they work, try to harness rivers not meant to be controlled, build on beaches not meant to be human habitat, destroy natural resources, become dependent on things excessive to our needs, we are not a good partner to Earth.

Perhaps, we should recognize the tremendous ability of Earth and protection of the Creator for our planet.  Melchizedek says humans will not destroy the Earth.  If we do bad things there will be bad consequences to pay, but it will not in our power to destroy Earth.

However, if we do not use our energy to learn to co-exist through the Creator’s commandments of love, then continue to sow the seeds of hate and polarity, judgement and war, dark over light, we will fail.

There is one aspect of our environment we do control, the negative energy we introduce to our world, the same negative energy we are so quick to inflict on our enemy no matter what human form it may take.  You might call this the spiritual environment of Earth, and it has been seriously neglected over the years.

Can you give up your prejudice and hate, your bias and fear, and replace it with love as the Creator and Jesus instruct?  Are you willing to project s positive message of hope for all humans if we just accept our equality as creation of the Crestor?

We shall soon learn the truth…

Black Lives Matter latest social movement hijacked by troublemakers and anarchists?

.

Are we ever going to learn our lesson?  The playbook for socialism, playbook for communism, and playbook for anarchism - all discuss how the establishment of citizen groups in support of popular causes should be encouraged.  Once they are established, committed anarchists will infiltrate them, and efforts will be undertaken to destroy both public institutions and support for the social causes they represent.

Such were the teachings of Karl Marx all the way back in the middle of the 19th century, then Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky in the early 20th century, and finally Hitler and Himmler in the mid-20th century.  Other despots and dictators have advocated the same infiltration methods.

Perhaps that is what happened in the Civil Rights and anti-war riots of the 1960's, the American Indian Movement of the 1970's, and now such efforts as the Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter movement of the 21st century.

In each case people had a right to protest, a right to hold peaceful demonstrations, and a right to point out flaws in our system of society.  Yet each movement saw incendiary efforts evolve that undermined the public support for the causes, divided the nation, and contributed to the cause of spreading hatred throughout the nation.

Police were assaulted, inflammatory language surfaced in crowd chants and music lyrics, and suddenly any hope for peaceful protests went up in flames along with the very neighborhoods where suffering was most obvious.  The pattern repeated itself in Ferguson, Missouri, New York City, and Baltimore, Maryland the past year.

Peaceful marches by Black Lives Matter suddenly broke out in provocative and threatening chants when they marched past police officers sent to protect them and all citizens, chants screaming, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" in Minneapolis.

In New York City is was, "How do you spell racist? N-Y-P-D."

Black Lives Matter claims to be "a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of black people by police and vigilantes" and that "Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, black undocumented folks, folks with records, women and all black lives along the gender spectrum."

Toward that end protesters and protest organizers have met with President Barack Obama, and other prominent leaders to demand an end to what they view as racial profiling, police brutality, mass incarceration of African-Americans, and the militarization of many police departments in the USA.

As noted earlier, it is unfortunate that what began as peaceful protects was hijacked by radicals and militants.

In New York City protests turned into anti-police chants like - "NYPD - KKK" and "Murdering Pigs."

   

Protesters marching in Cleveland shouted anti-police slogans they march behind a large banner that said, "Stop murder by police."

In Houston Texas protests began chants including, "The revolution is on… Off the pigs," and "Oink Oink… Bang Bang."

Demonstrators chanting "killer cops" carry a mirrored coffin through the streets of Ferguson as 100 police in riot gear form a line to face them down.

At the same protest were heard shouts, "Killer cops, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?"

People stood in the middle of the street screaming out: "My hands on my head. Please don't shoot me dead" and "Who shuts it down? We shut it down!"

Whether it is a matter of cause and effect or something much more sinister, the result is the following:

Preliminary 2015 Law Enforcement Officer Fatalities

January 1 through September 2, 2015

 vs.

January 1 through September 2, 2014

	2015	2014	% Change
Total Fatalities	85	73	+16%
Firearms-related	26	30	-13%
Traffic-related	38	28	+36%
Other Causes	21	15	+40%
Please note: These numbers reflect total officer fatalities comparing January 1 through September 2, 2015 vs. January 1 through September 2, 2014

This is according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, generally considered the most reliable database on police in the nation.  The NLEOMF also has determined there are over 900,000 state and local law enforcement officers in America.

As you can see, since the 2015 data is only through September 2, 2015, nearly four more months of data is yet to come.  Already the number of deaths is increasing from year to year.  With the murders of police in New York, Texas, Mississippi, Illinois, Nebraska, and throughout the nation, the anarchists seem to have the upper hand.

Those few high profile murders of citizens, which must be prosecuted to the fullest extent, have resulted in a higher level of risk to all 900,000 police who go about their jobs with dignity, respect for all citizens, and compassion.

Are Americans Being Biased or Prejudice Against the Muslim World?

.

According to The New American Encyclopedic Dictionary, "An Exhaustive Dictionary of The English Language Practical and Comprehensive published by J. A. Hill & Company of New York in 1906, "bias" of things not material is defined as: "The state of mentally or morally inclining to one side; inclination of the mind, heart or will; that which causes such an inclination, leaning or tendency."

In Crabb: English Synonyms, Crabb thus distinguishes between bias, prepossession, and prejudice: "Bias marks the state of the mind; prepossession applies either to the general or particular state of the feelings, prejudice is employed only for opinions. Children may receive an early bias that influences their future character and destiny. Prepossessions spring from casualties; they do not exist in young minds. Prejudices are the fruits of a contracted education. A bias may be overpowered, a prepossession overcome, and a prejudice corrected or removed. We may be biased for or against; we are always prepossessed in favor, and mostly prejudiced against.

Is there is a bias in America based on suspicion of the intent of the Muslim people's of the world and is it based on the history and modern actions of the Muslim world, in particular the actions of the mainstream Muslim factions. The majority of Muslims belong to one of two denominations, the Sunni and the Shi'a.

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, in Muslim tradition, Muhammad is viewed as the last and the greatest in a series of prophets—as the man closest to perfection, the possessor of all virtues. For the last 22 years of his life, in 610 AD, beginning at age 40, Muhammad started receiving revelations from God. The content of these revelations, known as the Qur'an, was memorized and recorded by his companions. It has been 1400 years since Muhammad started receiving revelations from God.

Sunni Muslims are the largest denomination of Islam, comprising up to 90% or nine-tenths of the total Muslim population in the world. They are often referred to as Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamā‘h or Ahl as-Sunnah.

The word Sunni comes from the word sunnah, which means the teachings and actions or examples of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. Therefore, the term "Sunni" refers to those who follow or maintain the sunnah of the prophet Muhammad.

The Sunni believe that Muhammad did not specifically appoint a successor to lead the Muslim ummah (community) before his death, and after an initial period of confusion, a group of his most prominent companions gathered and elected Abu Bakr Siddique—Muhammad's close friend and a father-in-law—as the first caliph of Islam. Sunni Muslims regard the first four caliphs—Abu Bakr, `Umar ibn al-Khattāb, Uthman Ibn Affan and Ali ibn Abu Talib—as "al-Khulafā’ur-Rāshidūn" or "The Rightly Guided Caliphs." Sunnis also believe that the position of caliph may be democratically chosen, but after the Rashidun, the position turned into a hereditary dynastic rule. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1923, there has never been another caliph as widely recognized in the Muslim world.

Shia Islam (sometimes Shi'a or Shi'ite), is the second-largest denomination of Islam, comprising anywhere between 10% or one-tenth to 13% of the total Muslim population in the world. Shia Muslims—though a minority in the Muslim world—constitute the majority of the populations in Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Iran, and Iraq, as well as a plurality in Lebanon and Yemen.

In addition to believing in the authority of the Qur'an and teachings of the Muhammad, Shia believe that his family—the Ahl al-Bayt (the People of the House), including his descendants known as Imams—have special spiritual and political rule over the community and believe that Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, was the first of these Imams and was the rightful successor to Muhammad, and thus reject the legitimacy of the first three Rashidun caliphs.

The Shi'a Islamic faith is vast and inclusive of many different groups. There are various Shi'a theological beliefs, schools of jurisprudence, philosophical beliefs, and spiritual movements. The Shia identity emerged soon after the death of 'Umar Ibnil-Khattab—the second caliph—and Shi'a theology was formulated in the second century and the first Shi'a governments and societies were established by the end of the ninth century.

Kharijite (lit. "those who seceded") is a general term embracing a variety of Muslim sects which, while originally supporting the Caliphate of Ali, eventually seceded after his son Imam Hasan negotiated with Mu'awiya during the 7th Century Islamic civil war (First Fitna). Their complaint was that the Imam must be spiritually pure, and that Hasan's compromise with Mu'awiya was a compromise of his spiritual purity, and therefore of his legitimacy as Imam or Caliph. While there are few remaining Kharijite or Kharijite-related groups, the term is sometimes used to denote Muslims who refuse to compromise with those with whom they disagree.

Sufism is a mystical-ascetic form of Islam. By focusing on the more spiritual aspects of religion, Sufis strive to obtain direct experience of God by making use of "intuitive and emotional faculties" that one must be trained to use. Sufis usually considered Sufism to be complementary to orthodox Islam.

Once Muhammad lived and provided the Qur'an by 632 AD the various factions fought a 7th century civil war before undertaking 500 years of war against the Christians for control of the Western World. The initial Muslim conquest of Syria in the 7th century under the Rashidun Caliphs began the battle between the Christians and Muslims. After the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Christians and Muslims the wars ended with Muslims in control of most Middle East nations and Christianity split between the Latin and Greek sects.

By the time Christianity reached about 1400 years of age the factions within Christianity forced the Protestant Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries and the break up of Christianity into many independent denominations.

Ironically, the Muslim factions have now existed for 1400 years and in country after country they have turned on each other in brutal wars, suppression of competing sects, and acts of genocide that have left a sense of fear, distrust and anxiety in the Christian and Jewish worlds. Is it not surprising? If the Muslim sects can justify Holy Wars against each other in this modern age what is to stop wars with us? Just look at the tens of thousands of civilian Muslim deaths at the hands of radical Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is in the news every day.

History is a brutal lesson in fact over fiction. The origins of terrorism within the Muslim factions is no surprise as radical extremists with a religious foundation have been around for centuries. There is no single voice for the Muslim world and no central control of order to that world. Until those elements of the Muslim world can overcome their own hatred for each other and then their hatred for the Christian and Jewish so called infidels, bias will exist and caution is warranted.

Just as the Christians had to overcome the violence and bloodshed of the ill advised Crusades and the Protestant Reformation in order for Christianity to evolve, so to must the Muslim world overcome the bitter wars and rivalry of secular and non-secular violence and the offshoots of terrorism that attempt to destroy any perceived effort to threaten the single domination of one religious sect over any government in a multi-cultural and religiously diverse world.

Any bias of unease or misunderstanding on the part of Americans toward the Muslim world can be changed, if the Muslim world evolves as other religions have evolved. When radicalism and terrorism are set aside, and they exist in all cultures and religions, there are far more similarities between Christians and Muslims than differences and both share the same God or Allah.  Finally, within every culture or religion are good people.
