The test we are under, the remnants of the subconscious signature, and self-defense

The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist. God answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too far above us in a sense of power and existence, it would not be fair to us, even for what we might see as just reasons. When the enemy is in your house with a gun held to your family, can you most certainly act in a just manner. It comes back down to Rule of Law. Even if the political party in power disregards Rule of Law, we do not have to. Hear the subconscious signature. We do not need apps or even writings passed from house to house to understand what is in the air. When the internet is cut. We will know where we all stand. We only have to listen.

It finally came into focus. With great clarity, though with little wisdom, I came to understand the test that our higher authority is placing us under. I learned a long time ago, with God, there is always a test. I no longer believe in the Abrahamic god. My God has never been seen, heard, or written about. She/He has no religion. Though I have come to see the test She/He is monitoring with us.

As I said, it carries no great wisdom. It is simple. We are failing. The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Most people are failing this test. People celebrate murder on the condition of political party or social economic status. There is the corruption of heart and soul on both sides. People get pulled into viral emotive soul-scaping, as though there could be some resemblance of justice awaiting them there.

Again, this is simple. This is easy to understand. Keep your wits about you. Keep your heart and sense of self. Do not become a monster. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist.

That naturally leads to next step upon realization and acceptance of this test. What to do about living under this political reality. It is one thing to self-talk internally so as not be corrupted, it is another to surrender yourself and, in that process, not help your fellow neighbors and other humans subject to far greater terrors you are subject to, so far.

I tend to think of Star Trek and how they so easily maintained their evolved humanity while still being willing to fight to protect their way of life and the for the security of the Federation. This perception was a reality that was written by Gene Roddenberry and was continued even until the newer Trek series of the 2020s. Of course, Roddenberry was likely responding the false perception of the post-WWII enlightenment that many saw was natural progress, and it seems understandable that many would assume that would continue. Of course, most people understand now that post-WWII enlightenment was a folk tale, at best.

But that takes us to the second layer of this test not the be corrupted. How should be go about defending ourselves and each other and still not be corrupted. Is self-defense corruptible? I will take this opportunity to share a conversation I had with God. I had long argued that God had a responsibility to intervene in humankind’s affairs on behalf of justice. That was even a central focus of my master’s thesis. It was a question I had spent a lifetime fighting about. When I finally got to talk to God and She/He was actually answering, She/He answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too far above us in a sense of power and existence, it would not be fair to us, even for what we might see as just reasons. God, being God, cannot be so corrupted to intervene and punish us in the process of lying to Herself/Himself that She/He is helping.

So, how are we to defend ourselves and each other and still protect our hearts and minds from being corrupted. I think the answer lies in not seeking out punishment of the guilty party, but giving them a chance to change, leaving the door open for them to make the right decision. Only when there are no choices left. When the enemy is in your house with a gun held to your family, can you most certainly act in a just manner. It comes back down to Rule of Law. Even if the political party in power disregards Rule of Law, we do not have to. As long as we follow the Rule of Law, it will be like Starfleet officers following the Prime Directive. Then we will be okay.

I am a firm believer in the subconscious signature. It aligns us all. We do not need apps or even writings passed from house to house to understand what is in the air. Our good will is reflected in the stars and beams back down at us, and in that we can read each other, and know what is happening. When the internet is cut. We will know where we all stand. We only have to listen.
