"MAJORING IN THE MINORS" STUCK ON SECONDARY CAUSES

TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM - TRUTH OR DARE

What is "Majoring in the Minors?" Sometimes the details are not important. Still, as the saying goes, "the devil is in the details." But do we really need to keep up with every aspect, cause, element, feature or move involved? Is it necessary to nitpick at all of the particulars? The particulars are just that, particles or individual parts of a whole. This is not to imply that we should not be specific. Our main purpose continues to be examining cause, posing questions and holding everybody capable accountable. Our goal is simple. We can not lose focus and must stay spiritually on track. The fact is that even in writing these posts we strive to be as concise and to the point as possible. However, at times many of our entries are convoluted with explanations, history, small tidbits and other relative background information we perceive to be essential. The theme behind this entry "Majoring in the Minors," comes from a phrase coined by a young audio/video technician named Adam. During a conversation we had in late 2019, he expressed dismay over how divided our country had become. The strangest thing was that although we had just met, as we talked, we found far more similarities then differences in our thinking. While we worked together towards a common occupational goal we discussed and shared our thoughts. Although there were notable differences in our age, religion, race and backgrounds, our dialogue continued to revolve around the theme, "Majoring in the Minors." We reached the mutual conclusion that the issues we were discussing then did not really address the core of our concerns. They appeared to be distractions and side shows that focused on symptoms but not the real subject matters. Our mutual deduction was that, more often then not, we are simply "Majoring in the Minors." What's most alarming is that rather then addressing real systemic problems we are supplanting them with related issues that only deal with the symptoms but not the cause. For example, our battle against the Covid-19 coronavirus has been one of the most closely watched and documented events throughout the world. The number of charts, diagrams, maps and statistics following its path are overwhelming. As we now see, opposing parties can interpret the same data in ways that are more confusing than informative. If we fail to respond correctly and don't change our behavior as a society we can inadvertently make this pandemic endemic to our country or certain parts of it. Many people do not understand the real difference between an epidemic, a pandemic, an outbreak or what endemic means. Unfortunately we are caught in the middle of a real spiritual war in which many of us will fall victim to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The warring parties are unaware of how they're being manipulated and believe themselves to be both right and righteous. In their effort to win they are willing to compromise their integrity and make their points by "Majoring in the Minors." Everyone seems to have some understanding about the law of cause and effect. However causation isn't always as obvious as it seems. We have a tendency to concentrate on, address and attack the symptoms rather then the cause. In diagnostics we often find that the source of a problem or pain is not always the cause of the problem or pain. Every cause has an effect, and every effect can potentially spawn multiple causes. The fact is that in life we all function and interact at three different levels; Intellectually, physically and spiritually. In life, the energy behind all causation is spiritual. In this our present form, the laws that govern how we tangibly interact are physical. However the most controversial and fallible aspect of our functionality, regarding how we understand it all, is intellectual. ​

Although we can exercise full control over our conscious mind, many people fail to realize that the mind has a "mind" of its own. In other words our minds, "mind" what we believe or don't believe. Our minds "mind" takes note and may take exception to what we do or to what we want to do. Our minds "mind" develops rigid thought patterns and then creates comfort zones that protect the way we think. Our minds "mind" stands ready to fight against any and all alternative thought patterns or intrusions. This is the cause of what we call our "state of mind." ​In fact our "state of mind" is both intellectual and spiritual. We develop our minds Intellectually through the experiences of observing, learning, applying and obeying the physical laws and social cues that govern our material world.  Our "spiritual understanding" however, must be spiritually developed apart from and outside of "intellectual logic and reasoning." Although these two components of our singular existence are complementary in function they're applications are unique. The laws governing the physics of life are secondary to the laws governing the essence and forces of life, which are spiritual. Most of the "secondary causes" that we believe are behind the things we commonly observe in the material world have been discovered, documented, practiced, and proven. An untrained intellect finds it logical and rational to assume that "secondary origins" are the "primary cause" of what we see. The "primary cause" of all occurrences which originate in the spiritual kingdom come not by observation, but can be discerned or learned if embraced in faith. In other words "spiritual causation" does not logically follow the same thread of intellectual sense that we observe with physical matter. Spiritual science, although connected, differs from physical science and our intellect must be informed of and recognize the differences. "Spiritual causation" follows a deeper esoteric "science of spirit" that transcends but also complements the laws of nature. The main fundamental of all spiritual law requires setting an example. Every ruler or person in authority is held to a higher level of scrutiny and moral standard. Their example sets the tone for others to follow. It is the Church and our religious institutions that are responsible to cry aloud against spiritual heresy. Their job is not to endorse or condemn any party or person. The job of spiritual leadership is to serve as a watchdog for righteousness. After all "we are the salt of the earth!" There is a spiritual realm and we are spiritual beings. We don't believe in spirituality because it can be visibly seen. We look at things spiritually because through it EVERYTHING else is seen more clearly. Rather then envisioning ourselves as givers of truth, we prefer to be seen as pointers towards truth. Nothing here is written in stone. We take no credit for the source, only the synthesis. Our perspectives may be applicable but our conclusions are not considered to be all encompassing or complete.

We are living in a "culture" that supports another culture of enforcement in a very discriminatory way. It is important to understand the nature of a biological or spiritual culture. In the broadest and most inclusive definition we can muster up a culture is a collective manifestation unique to a particular group or organism that characterizes the way it functions, maintains itself and operates. Once we know how to culture a virus we can determine whether it is infectious though its cytopathic effects. We define human cultures through examining the manifestations of their various collective acts and intellectual achievements. There is a culture (spirit) that abides within law enforcement that was spawned from a racist premise and continues until this day. The "blue/cop" culture is not specifically racist. Although there may be racism within its ranks the culture is authoritarian. No, all cops are not bad. As a matter of fact the vast majority are decent individuals. The real issue is not the cops themselves but the culture, that is the environment they are forced to be a part of. Like any fraternity they slowly adapt to and adopt the "spirit of that culture." It is systemic. Yes, the police need retraining but the system needs to be reconstructed or replaced. The culture itself gives rise to the racism we see and experience. Whatever the biases or predispositions an officer comes in with must be challenged and removed that they may be fit for duty. Yes, there are some rotten apples among them, and as the old saying goes "one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. Combine this with an authoritarian culture that functions with some level of impunity and we've got ourselves a militarized group with a somewhat renegade attitude (spirit). So "Majoring in the Minors" will not address the core of the problem, it will only treat the symptoms and the invisible virus will continue to affect anyone who has not been vaccinated. Once the proper spirit/attitude/behavior/consciousness/culture/environment/system has been established we will have policing that follows the motto of protect and serve. We are compelled to compare the different systems that are used to coordinate and control us. If law enforcement  can demand and/or determine our identity so quickly, what makes it so difficult to instantly verify voters? Why in the midst of our technological revolution is  even "virtual" banking so secure but voting is not? 

SCIENCE HAS BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE MISSING LINK. WE HAVE FOUND IT CLICK HERE!

Today's Technologies are shedding a new light upon abuses in the same way that television did for the civil rights movement of the sixties. It appears that the culture/consciousness of our citizenry and many of our police departments are predisposed to have some level of animosity or fear for people with a darker hue. The title and culture of policing must be changed to "public safety" rather then "law enforcement." Although they must work in multiple capacities, a police officer's main focus should be oriented towards assistance and being assertive before aggressive, in that exact order. We need to examine the root of the cause, not just address the conditions. Regardless of whether they are a young child or grown adult, people of color (another racist characterization) are very likely to be harassed, arrested, hunted down and killed for the most minor of offenses or reasons. Whether they are sleeping in a car, walking from a store, jogging down the road, driving or parking questionably and/or just present; the fear of being in the wrong place at the wrong time has become their way of life. We know that these conditions are unique to minorities because we don't see or hear about white people being killed over a mistaken cell phone, toy gun or candy bar. Some people have responded to the "Black Lives Matter" movement and slogan by responding that all lives matter; and its true! This is another example of "Majoring In The Minors." What many people fail to realize is that all lives will not matter until black lives matter too! Where is the response from our federal government? A national issue requires a nationally unified response in the same manner that a worldwide pandemic calls for a worldwide coordinated response. It is so-o-o-o refreshing to see so many of our celebrities finally speaking out and stepping up. How are we all in this together when the "spirit of division and divisiveness" seems to be ruling the day? The culture of our country has been allowed to descend into pettiness and offensive name calling. Why are our leaders engaged in bullying behavior. Consciousness has a trickle down effect. If parents curse, expect vulgarity from their children. When we accept irresponsible behavior we also encourage it. The pandemic is not over! Our federal governments response to racism mirrors its response to covid-19. We must demand better. This is not the time to throw in the towel. Although finding a quick solution is improbable our demise is not inevitable. We can no longer pass the buck, avoid, delay or hope that the crisis will pass. Let's be proactive rather than reactive. Now that we know what it feels like to be separated socially and quarantined, this is also a good time to examine our court system, sentencing disparities and prisons. Maybe we should take another look at our cruelty to animals and consider the civility shown towards animals caged in our zoos. When our Perspectives expand we simultaneously grow in our understanding of the effects an experience can cause. We must admit that racism is endemic in our society today. We cannot resolve what we do not acknowledge. It is refreshing that so many "other" races and cultures are finally speaking up and stepping out from their exclusive residents and gated communities to stand up for the average citizen. The story of the life of Major Taylor encapsulates the black experience in this country. It is important not to settle for or sleep on the meanings behind many of the reactions to change. We should expect both backlash and repercussions against the people and policies of change. Maybe a lynching or two will appease the wrath of some dissenters. Throughout history the "road to progress" has always been paved with the "blood of humans!" Remember, the corona-virus has become the catalyst for exposing the infectious systemic infestations nurtured by the consciousness of society. The tragic murders and slaughter of human beings seen and witnessed on video have once again pierced the conscious of the masses. We cannot un-see or remove it from our memories! Society now is forced to wear the scars of slavery. We all share some responsibility in that we permitted the perpetuation of racism. This is simply cause and effect. We are bound by the effects of our own "primary" causes. WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF REMAINING SILENT OVER THE YEARS AND NOT EXPRESSING OUR INDIVIDUALLY "CONTROLLED" OUTRAGE COLLECTIVELY. WE WATCHED WHILE THIS DIVISIVE TREND AND THESE "SPIRITS" APPARENTLY INFLUENCED AND CORRUPTED MANY OF OUR LEADERS ALONG WITH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF OUR NATION. This was the license to do what we all have done at one time or another. When we chose consciously or unconsciously, to remain unseeing in situations where “we could know, and should know, but didn't know, because it made us feel better not to know.” Neither silence nor violence is acceptable. We have started a dialogue that must continue in perpetuity. We should not focus on any of the *ACTORS* involved in these obvious abuses; neither the perpetrators or the victims. We must focus on the *ACTIONS* that took place and condemn the *ACTS* by proclaiming them (the acts) as reprehensible. Stop picking sides. Start standing up for principles regardless of who they may be applied to. We must embrace a "spirit of change," but For change to take place we must articulate the changes we want.
