CREATING A CREDIBLE LIFESTYLE OF SIN IS CALLED CORRUPTIONTHIS POST PIGGY-BACKS OFF OF A PREVIOUS POST ENTITLED: LIES, LYING, LIARS, DAMN LIES AND STATISTICS CONSIDER ALSO: TRUTH IS FOUND BY FILTERING AND FACING THE FACTS WE ALL FIND WAYS OF INCORPORATING SIN INTO OUR LIFESTYLES BUT SHOULD NOT LIVE A LIFESTYLE OF SIN!
DON'T BOTHER READING THE SMALL PRINT IT'S NOT IMPORTANTDisclaimer: Before reading through this post it is important to understand that we have been gifted with a free and abundant planet that systematically bestows its resources upon us at no charge. This marvelous system autonomously sustains us in spite of how badly we abuse and corrupt it. We have merchandised the circle of life that by design charges us nothing to partake of. In addition to that we've marketed every ailment, issue or shortcoming common to man for the love of money. Finding solutions is one thing, but selling them is another. Must we merchandise everything? we are not against making a profit or being paid for labor. There has to be something going wrong with the system when some of us have more than we can use in TEN (10) lifetimes, while others lack the basic necessities for a short lived life. This level of inequity looks as bad as it sounds. When corruption is present there is always has an outrageous appearance to it. Corruption creeps! The most popular vehicle for corruption is money. Merchandising is one of the most common method used in corruption. We find ways to make money from anything whether its a crisis or a crusade. Many of our modern day advancements have compromised our health. Hundreds of channels and remote controls constantly contribute to multiple illnesses and the millions of pills sold to remedy them. Can corruption actually cause us to slowly kill ourselves? Well don't worry about it now, it's not important. WE'VE BEEN CORRUPTED BY OUR OWN SELVES AND SO WE SUFFERBUSINESSES, GOVERNMENTS, JUDICIAL SYSTEMS, POLITICIANS AND RELIGIONS ARE USUALLY KNOWN AS SOURCES OF CORRUPTION. THIS POST FOCUSES FAR BEYOND THAT. BY THE END OF THIS POST ANY READER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY DETECT, DECIPHER, AND DISTINQUISH HOW CORRUPTION IS BIRTHED. IT IS ALWAYS THROUGH THE DECEIFUL "SIN OF LYING." IN ADDITION, WE WILL SHED LIGHT ON HOW SPIRITUAL ENERGIES OPERATE THROUGH AND MANIFEST IN THE WORLD.CORRUPTION IS COSTLY AND FREEDOM IS NOT FREEHOW DO WE DEFINE, DESCRIBE A CONDITION, SITUATION AND/OR STATE; WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE, ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS, CLIMATES, CONSCIOUSNESS, CULTURES, DESIRES, ENVIRONMENTS, IDEAS, PRACTICES, REASONING & THOUGHTS ARE ALL INCLUDED in it? THIS IS TODAY'S "ZEITGEIST." IT REPRESENTS the OVERALL intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of THIS era. CORRUPTED MEANS MORE THAN BROKEN; IT IS A BROKE THAT CANNOT BE FIXED. WHENEVER SOCIETY CONDONES A STANDARD THAT CONTINUOUSLY ACCEPTS LIVING A CORRUPT LIFESTYLE, IT IS A LICENSE TO SIN.CORRUPTion - THE WILLINGNESS TO ACT UNSCRUPULOUS IN THE FACE OF OBVIOUS TRUTH Today's greatest dilemma among the multiple issues we are facing is not war, global warming, poverty or racism; It is internal CORRUPTION! A state of CORRUPTION is a form of delusion, denial, and dishonesty so profuse that it can actually appear to be normal. When any society can legally, morally or "subconsciously" normalize the meltdown of its moral fabric it is CORRUPT. Exposing corruption enables those who expose it to be seen as saviors while allowing them to be just as corrupt. These days of mass shootings, mass migrations, mass hunger, mass waste, mass hysteria, multiple wars, multiple earthquakes and multiple extremes of weather are not normal! Only apathy can normalize conditions of crisis. CORRUPTION by anything and of anything signals a change in the very nature of that thing. It stands to reason that everyone and everything in existence is here purposely or randomly, by default or by design. Once the very purpose of anything is subverted to a point where it can no longer serve or fulfill its original intention it is actually CORRUPT. If man was made to rule this planet and this is the result, are we not CORRUPTED? We have eradicated, extracted, farmed, fished, hunted, manipulated, manufactured, mined, trapped and used every resource the earth offers in order to fulfill a CORRUPT agenda of greed and exploitation. Abusers find it difficult to see CORRUPTION. They can easily render themselves blind to abuses that have been marginalized, normalized and accepted. CORRUPTION has a ghastly side to it. Sometimes we cannot see or sense it. CORRUPTION at times has been so thorough that even the remnants of what once was no longer remain. It is only through the preservation of history that we can appreciate how devastating the effects of CORRUPTION can be. Former signs of CORRUIPTION are often disguised through narratives, statues, symbols and observances that obscure their true intent or nature. The truth behind the actual purpose and plans for CORRUIPTION tend to slowly disappear, dissolve, fade over time. Do NOT be deceived! Once someone or something has been CORRUPTED rehabilitation is NO LONGER an option. A CORRUPT person, government, organization or belief is actually impossible to remedy, it must be removed and replaced. Abiding in, allowing for or existing with CORRUPTION will only allow it to spread. CORRUPTION works like rust, the process cannot be reversed only abated. A basic understanding of corrosion and the chemical reactions behind it gives us a great analogy. CORRUPTION is NOT a static process; its very existence undermines any environment it is found in. CORRUPTION can take a small compromise and over time transform it into a full blown conspiracy. CORRUPTION speaks a language with phrases that excuses, validates or vindicates illicit thoughts, words and actions. CORRUPTION tends to make any heinous activity okay, as long as others are doing it too. CORRUPTION gives license to hypocrisy. CORRUPTION begins with a single act that progresses into a contagious state. CORRUPTION is more then the sum of its actions. It is a blinding condition and spiritual state of existence that affects all of creation directly or indirectly. The selfish nature of CORRUPTION operates like a "blue lie." The "spirit of CORRUPTION" gets its origins from the act of disobedience through believing a lie. The earliest known act of CORRUPTION occurred in the "Garden of Eden" and even GOD could not remedy that situation. CORRUPTION operates at a core level of consciousness and is the evidence of a "spiritual sickness" that cannot be resolved through any natural remedies. No wonder Adam and Eve were expelled from "the garden." They had already CORRUPTED themselves and would have CORRUPTED everything else within the garden. As outcasts from perfection, they CORRUPTED the rest of creation with the contaminates they originally cultured from disobedience through a lie. Their CORRUPTED NATURE was passed on to humanity, so much so that eventually the whole planet needed to be baptized and cleansed to curtail CORRUPTION again! This is the way CORRUIPTION has been passed on from generation to generation. This is how CORRUPTION has crept into every aspect of our existence. CORRUPTION has no quota and never quits. CORRUPTION'S viral like behavior will infect its host until it destroys it. CORRUPTION, at its extreme authorizes anarchy and entitles injustice. CORRUPTION is how righteousness dies a slow death. When CORRUPTION sets in DEATH begins. CORRUPTION needs to be prevented rather than remedied. God's remedy to conquer CORRUPTION came through the crucifixion of JESUS! COMPROMISING "BIRTHS" CORRUPTION THROUGH COWARDLY CAPITUALATION The "standards of righteousness" are more than laws, commandments and rules. This is where our lifestyle, the style we use for dealing with or disguising our sins, coincides with truth. It is almost impossible to deal with corruption without addressing hypocrisy. In religious circles, those we call hypocrites are the people who are not themselves on Sundays. In political circles a hypocrite is an talented actor that disguises the discrepancies between its parties claims and practices. In social circles hypocrites are the people that amplify and exaggerate their value. In ALL circles hypocrites are easily corrupted by their lies. Societies standards have deteriorated to a point where legality trumps morality. This speaks to the ethics society adheres to. Corruption is divisive and operates through confusing or convoluting established standards. In many societies the separation of church and state now divides jurisdiction between religious and civil matters. This does not make the infraction or the penalty any less significant or severe. In the spiritual realm the violation of legal and moral standards hold the same weight in judgement and severity. The most difficult thing to understand about CORRUPTION is the "nature" of it. Without a will to compromise, a mind to deceive and a "spirit of hypocrisy," corruption cannot prevail. Corruption is a growth that cannot be weeded out. Once discovered it can be isolated and/or eradicated but never repaired. The hypocrisy that accompanies the "deception of corruption" rots away all hope of restoration. Corruption, like most sin begins in the mind while compromising the soul. There are both principles and standards that should never change. Even if we abandon them they will summon us back to them. These are not necessarily religious standards, they are standards of decency. Legal, moral and ethical customs form standards that societies abide by. Laws can be amended, updated and changed but standards must always be applied to those amendments. Our lifestyle relative to SIN puts us at a disadvantage from birth! Just about anything can be corrupted and we must be on guard. 1 No person, 2 institution or 3 organization is exempt. Consider the stories in just these three links. The initial fight may be against chaos and compromise but the major battle is against corruption. CORRUPTION CARRIES ITS CURSE FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION There is a lifestyle that many of us live which quietly compromises our souls as it caters to sin. We were born into it. Our lifestyle holds the building blocks to the thoughts and actions we call scruples. These are the standards of propriety. When propriety is corrupted basic core standards are easily compromised. What we observe on a day to day basis is simply the manifestation of multiple energies combined to produce specific results. This is not an arbitrary or random assembly of aspirations and ideas. They are purposeful, specific and reflect an agenda. Our lives, and the style in which we live them are a direct result of that agenda. As we associate with agendas we assimilate and project their purpose whether we are aware of it or not. A corrupt purpose or agenda may not be obvious initially but a careful examination of it's theme will expose what's behind it. There are built in "themes" that reside within every thought and activity we participate in. Various "themes" are contained in the programs we watch, the people we associate with and the places we frequent or occupy. Our individual lifestyles adopt and interact with these "themes" whether we are aware of it or not. Social media is doing more damage to our youth than alcohol or drugs. We are what we eat. Although association is not necessarily causation it does breed assimilation. We ALL contribute to the overall "culture of consciousness" in the world today. It is our duty not to be condemned by the things we indulge in and allow. Such are the manifestations of our spiritual energies and thoughts upon humanity. Corruption operates in a "spirit of deception" and is perpetuated by the "spirit of compromise." Corruption starts in thought and is willfully manifested through the "spirit of pride." A corrupt beginning or foundation never results in a correct outcome. Corruption is a perpetual state whose spiritual energies can infect others who buy into or are seduced by its appeal. Remember ALL corruption is birthed by the lie and can only flourish through its perpetuity. Built upon greed, extended through deceit and thriving by practice; corruption is a spiritual malady plaquing society at every level of our existence. Corruption employs "implicit biases" to maintain its stronghold in policies and systemic structure. Cooperating with corruption at any level only strengthens it. Corruption worldwide has grown to a crisis level and must be called out to be rooted out. Conspired in secret and committed in public, corruption denies the existence of God. TO NORMALIZE EVIL IS TO SANCTION CORRUPTION!

THIS POST
FOCUSES ON
THE CAUSE OF
OUR WORLD'S CONDITION.
THE WORLD IS SICK AND IT'S
DIRECTLY & SPECIFICALLY DUE TO SIN!
OUR ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS
AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS ARE NOT THE SOURCE OF OUR PROBLEMS.
THE GENESIS, AS QUIET AS KEPT, IS SIN. WE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED.
THE INSTRUMENTS USED IN THIS WAR ARE NOT THE CULPRITS BEHIND IT.
THERE IS NO QUICK AND EASY FIX FOR OUR SITUATION. WAKE UP. LOOK AT THE SIGNS!
SIN: IT'S NOT WHAT WE THINK IT IS. SIN: IT'S A NATURAL BY-PRODUCT OF HUMANITY. SIN: IS FIRST THOUGHT, COMMITTED, THEN PRACTICED AND ULTIMATELY ACCEPTED AND EMBRACED TO REMAIN ACTIVE. SIN: IS BY FAR THE MOST PRACTICED ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT HISTORY, EVERYONE IS A PARTICIPANT. SIN: IS OUR GRAVEST AND MOST SIGNIFICANT WORLDWIDE ISSUE. SIN IS AT IT'S GREATEST EFFECTIVENESS WHEN WE DENY OR IGNOR IT. SIN: IS EITHER EXAGGERATED, UNDER-REPORTED AND/OR OVERBLOWN. SIN: AS GRAVE AS IT IS, IT CAN BE SIMPLY AND EASILY MANAGED WHEN WE KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT.
EVERYBODY SINS! MOST TIMES, SIN IS MORE SERIOUS THAN IT SEEMS TO BE. WE CAN SIN AGAINST GOD. WE CAN SIN AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. WE CAN SIN AGAINST NATURE. WE CAN SIN AGAINST OUR OWN BODIES. YES, WE CAN EVEN SIN AGAINST OURSELVES. IN REALITY, WE CAN ACTUALLY SIN AGAINST JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. COMMITTING SIN IS USUALLY NOT A CRIME. COMMITTING A CRIME IS USUALLY A SIN. ALTHOUGH DIFFERENT SINS VARY IN THEIR SEVERITY, MOST SINS ARE DERIVED FROM THE SAME SOURCE. WE ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE IN WHICH WE MUST RECOGNIZE SIN TO WIN. SIN CAN ONLY BE NEUTRALIZED THROUGH REMISSION AND FORGIVENESS. "AND THOU FORGAVEST THE INIQUITY OF MY SIN."
WE CANNOT ADDRESS ANYTHING WE FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE
Although many of us believe that most of the world's problems are caused by rulers, governments, regimes, industries, financial institutions, companies, banks, billionaires armies and other players that control and influence world order; this is not the case! The main culprit behind these conditions is sin. The "instruments" (people) sin uses will vary from situation to situation but the root component behind the cause will remain the same. It is quite common and very easy to sin. The stigma associated with uttering the word sin convolutes and misrepresents the true nature of what sin really is and how it operates. The propensity to sin is a common struggle among all men. Sin should not be defined in terms of right or wrong. Sin is more accurately depicted in terms of being in line with or in violation of "DIVINE ORDER." When we are not in alignment and in harmony with one another and/or nature itself look for sin. It should be known that sin can manifest in our thoughts, words and/or deeds. Whenever an established standard in life is breached sin will be lying at the door. Although each of us are destined to commit sin, there can be no compromising with it. If we do not rule over it, it will rule over us. Sins can be committed willfully or ignorantly. It is our consciousness, feelings and knowledge that opens our awareness to the presence of sin. The law, both written and unwritten provides us access to recognizing and identifying sin. Without established order, standards or rule of law there is no knowledge of sin. It is possible for us to be both compliant and cooperative with law and still be in sin. Acknowledging sin allows us to address it. Although the scope of sin covers vast aspects of our conscious and subconscious existence, we can simply define it as a perversion of universal and/or natural order. When we examine sin in it's broadest extent we can identify it as "the alteration of something from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended." Today sin is resonating throughout society, so much so, that it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize it in a time of abounding iniquities. Hidden "behind" the scenes, sin's sinister and sneaky ways are being used to corrupt humanity. The responsibility goes to whatever and whoever is being used to perpetuate evil but the cause behind the crisis is certainly sin. One of sins primary instruments is the LIE. Most LIES can also begin and operate at an invisible and subconscious level by just believing them. When we act as if we have not missed the mark or say to ourselves we have not sinned we LIE to ourselves and the truth is not in us. Read the signs!
DEALing WITH SIN requires NOT HIDing IT. WE MUST DISCOVER, ACKNOWLEDGE, REGRET, CONFESS AND FORSAKE IT.
Some may say that we are making a big ado over something that we can do very little about. After all we were born into a condition inherited by us in which we could not control and did not consent to. The "deceitfulness of sin" appeals to an earthly sensual logic that defies spiritual order. The natural mind cannot embrace spiritual concepts. The "science of spirit" can only be understood through the exercise of faith. Without faith it is hard to embrace that the mystery of godliness is not without controversy. Spiritual logic trumps natural perception. The intuitive energy that abides within our intellectual minds gives us access to spiritual enlightenment if we tap into it. Because it is a generational curse, there is no law or set or laws that compensates to eradicate sin. Compliance and obedience cannot in and of themselves impute remission of sin. One of the biggest lies we live is "the apology." Although apologies are good and necessary part of our coexistence, an apology is not a repentance. Sin operates at a natural tangible and at an invisible spiritual level. A spirit of REPENTANCE makes every apology genuine. The high standard of righteousness that humanity was required to maintain is continually corrupted by our sins and constantly stifled by our iniquities. Most people underestimate the effect that sin has on world affairs. Most manifestations of sin come as a consequence of compromise or lack of consideration. Sometimes our modern advancements, innovations and inventions come at the cost of nature and "other" people. Who would have thought that plastic could become one of the most harmful pollutants man has manufactured. The plastics themselves are not evil or sinful. However the use distribution and disposal of them have resulted in us sinning against nature. It is easy to sin when we are inconsiderate. Such are the perils that are a associated with our methods of continually expanding agriculture at the expense of the ecosystem. If more than (40) forty percent of the earth, according to the "UNFAO," now supports agriculture, and a bigger fraction of these lands were formerly covered by forests, why do we still have hunger throughout the world? The answer is that profit, the love of money - the control of exchange - is the cause of this sin. This is an insidious blight and perpetual evil that we continue to ignore. Look at the signs. Sin allows us to keep choosing, whether consciously or unconsciously, to remain unseeing in situations where “we could know, and should know, but don’t know because it makes us feel better not to know.”

forgiveness facilitates the force that fosters the fix
The dilemma of sin is something we cannot solve. The mystery of iniquity, "our spiritual genetics," is intricately tied into sin's cyclic perpetuity. We can take power over sin and minimize its practice by fixing any breach that appears and we recognize. The posture we take towards sin determines how we deal with it. Accepting sin as an inevitable consequence of living empowers it and enervates us. The way we associate with sin dictates its influence and power in our life. The "forgiveness factor" is God's way of mitigating the effects of sin in both our individual lives and in the world. Sin operates in singular and plural ways. Sin is so subtle that we can actually commit them accidently and in ignorance. The sin of retribution and vengeance is one that is practiced among both believers and unbelievers. Statements like "that's what they get and they deserved it," expresses a sinful attitude. DO NOT BUY INTO THE JUDGEMENT LIE. How can we expect our police officers to simply enforce the law without pronouncing judgement when that's exactly what we do! Judge, jury and executioner is an attitude embraced when we are wronged or observe others doing wrong. A judgmental spirit is not a righteous one. If God behaved as we do none of us would be here. As Epicurus wrote; "If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would perish: for they are forever praying for evil against one another." Sin always leaves a stain that must be cleansed and wiped away. Without remission, sins viral effects will spread among other people, leaders, organizations and governments. Such is the case today. In addition to dealing with borders, laws and policies we need to be dealing with sin. Our sins against God, against nature, against one another and our own bodies (ourselves) are piling up and creating additional chaos in an ever growing interconnected world. Whatever means is used to advertise, boast or celebrate immoral acts from premarital sex to cheating of any kind ("getting over") that commercial, conversation or song however cute or entertaining can be considered sinful. Our addiction to sin coupled with our ignorance of how spirits operate is leaving much of the world defenseless. Dealing with addicts requires a great deal of patience and compassion. The "salt of the earth" must season a world that has rejected a godly flavor. War and rumors of wars, insurrections, earthquakes in various places and environmental abuse are running rampart. Do we need to be religious scholars to discern the times? Isn't this a sign of the times? Is it so difficult to see that this addicted world is in need of rehabilitation? Let's examine and address the heart of the matter. Let us deal with our sins!
DEALING WITH FAULTS
In the quest to rid ourselves of sin it is important to remember that "nobody is perfect." We all have faults! A fault is something that impairs or detracts from a consistent and uniform quality of perfection. A Fault can further be defined as a character weakness, defect or blemish. Faults, fall into a category of sin that is unintentional yet ingrained or habitual. Although we all have faults, some are not as apparent as others. Faulty brakes tend to grind and/or squeak but they still usually stop the car. One of the best way of dealing with faults is to "regard" them as an accident or mistake. This does not make the infraction any less significant, it does however affect the severity of the judgement and consequential punishment or sentencing. Many fault offenders have trouble understanding why they do what they do. Like children who get into mischief, when asked why they committed such an act, they may answer by saying they don't know.

MARK THIS EVENT! BEING REMEMBERED IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS HAVING AN IMPACT. WHATEVER WE LEAVE BEHIND IS NOT OURS ANYMORE. LEAVING A LEGACY AND KNOWING THAT IT MATTERS SUPERCEDES KNOWING WE'RE REMEMBERED. WHEN WE INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER AS IMPERFECT BEINGS SOMETIMES THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR FAULTS AND SHORTCOMINGS CAN OVERSHaDOW OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IN "OUR MOMENTS," WE MAY NOT BE WHAT OR WHO WE WANT TO BE. AFTER "OUR MOMENT" HAS EXPIRED OR PASSED, WHAT AND WHO WE WERE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS WE THINK. "A SINGLE GOOD MEMORY CAN ERASE YEARS OF BAD ONES." THERE ARE WAYS TO GIVE PERFECT TOASTS AND/OR MARK TRIBUTES TO OUR IMPERFECT FELLOWS. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO FIND THE WORDS THAT DEPICT OR DESCRIBE OUR LOVED ONES IN A COMPLIMENTERY FASHION WITHOUT COMPROMISING TRUTH. RATHER THEN BECOMIG DISINGENUOUS OR HYPROCRITICAL WE CAN BE TACTFULLY TRUTHFUL. THERE CAN BE JUST AS MUCH CONSOLATION FROM CELEBRATING THE TRAPS WE'VE DODGED AND THE PITFALLS WE'VE AVOIDED AS IN THE TRIUMPHS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS WE'VE ACHIEVED. IN MANY CASES JUST MAINTAING A LIFE THAT MINIMIZES BONDAGE OR PERSECUTION REPRESENTS VICTORIOUS LIVING FOR MANY OF US. BY SURVIVING EACH AND EVERY PERIL THAT WE DID NOT SUCCUMB TO, EASILY ECLIPSES ANY OF OUR DOWNFALLS, FAILURES OR SHORTCOMINGS. FINDING BOTH EXECELLENCE AND DEFICIENCIES ARE EASY TO DO WHEN WE LOOK HARD ENOUGH. WHAT WE ARE OR ARE NOT FOLLOWS THIS THEME, "BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THERE GO i." THIS EXPRESSES AN ATTITUDE OF APPRECIATION AND HUMILITY. MEMORIES FADE, BUT LEGACIES HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN THAT LIVE ON. WE'D RATHER LEAVE A MARK THAN A MEMORY. A MARK CAN LEAVE A SCAR OR BRANDISH A TATOO. A MEMORY CAN FADE AND BE FORGOTTEN. WE NEED TO LEAVE OUR MARK(S). THIS IS AN ODE AND A TRIBUTE BOTH TO THE LEGACY AND TO "PLEASANT TIMES" OF MEMORIES IT FOSTERS.
