I choose to remain anonymous because different beliefs divide us so much now that our conscience will not allow us to see each other with any depth. Personalities will not solve this. Ideas alone will. Just listen to the small elephant in the room.

Hateful words incite unstable people to acts of violence, while expressing words of righteous anger helps the unstable see a way forward without violence. georgeallenbooks.substack.com/p/what-is-ri...

Rejuvenate your mind with this simple truth. Goodness is a mirror in our mind that receives and reflects the light of goodness between us. When a part of this mirror in us is covered with dust, we are cut off in that part from seeing this light being received or reflected between us.

In the words of JFK, it is time to ask, what can I do for my country and not what can my country do for me. Can we save our democracy? The question to each of us is, Can I save my democracy? Read this and see what you should do for your country: georgeallenbooks.substack.com/p/can-we-sav...

Are we still in shock but acting like we are thinking clearly? When every new event puts us in disbelief, we are still in shock. We cannot just will ourselves out of it. We must think in terms of epochs and extended centuries to grasp the whole story—either all of us survive or none of us do.

It would be nice if people changed just because they heard the truth. Those who are suffering have a better chance of changing because they need the system to change. The problem is that we believe that the truth that we are suffering is the truth.

@acabftp.bsky.social Time to build a bridge that sees. The Bridge with Eyes georgeallenbooks.substack.com/p/the-bridge...

Is your goal to help build a bridge for our national conscience that connects us despite our different political standards, without forcing anyone to give up their standard in order to meet, to have such a bridge so that we can see each other with the eyes of our heart instead of the eyes of hatred?

Building bridges is good only if they hold up against outside pressures, otherwise, they collapse when needed most. I’m talking about the strongest thing that holds us together. When we build relationships based on common hatred, they fall apart under pressure and we cannot protect our standards.

Does good human behavior shock us as much as bad human behavior? Depends on what we’re used to. The question then is what shocks us about our own behavior? Do not let the beautiful light that is in you be darkness to you, for it will always remain light to all who can see your blindness.

How much time do you devote every day to appreciating and understanding how valuable we all are in life? When I am able to envision “the light of life” we all are, I can quickly assess blindness in a stranger behaving poorly or world leaders for that matter. open.substack.com/pub/georgeal...

@leahmcelrath.bsky.social The extremists in both parties are the ones most in need of love at this time. And there is only one way of giving it to them without insulting their dignity. This is the last and most important article on the teaching. georgeallenbooks.substack.com/p/spirituali...
