Sometimes they have reduced themselves to the lowest level of attack mentality. The question is: what kind of mentality do I reduce myself to if I become defensive or start defending myself?<br /> <br />Like worry, defensiveness works against me. If I am defensive, I am not anchored in my spirit. If I am not anchored in my spirit, I am coming from weakness. If I am coming from weakness, how much more am I likely to be attacked and how much less am I likely to be supported?<br /> <br />Operating in the realm of politics, if I am never attacked … so much the better. On the other hand, is there a way I can see things which keeps me out of defensiveness?<br /> <br />What if my joy actually remains intact despite the appearance that I am being attacked? What if in reality I can only attack <strong><em>myself</em></strong> by believing that the seeming attack of others is really about me and can hurt me? What if in truth any apparent attack is not about me at all and hurts nobody but the attacker?<br /> <br />With this week's lesson, I dedicate myself to learning that I <strong><em>never</em></strong> have to be defensive and that defensiveness <strong><em>always</em></strong> works against me. This week I train myself to experience my safety not in defensiveness, but in joy.<br /> <br />My morning meditations this week will be dedicated to imagining situations which could come up during the day to which I would react with defensiveness. With each situation that comes to mind I visualize myself consciously choosing to access my joy and feel my joy instead of lapsing into defensiveness. While visualizing myself avoiding defensiveness and holding my joy in each situation, I tell myself the statement of this week's lesson:<br /> <br /><strong><em>"My safety lies not in defensiveness, but in joy."</em></strong><br /> <br />Then each hour during the day I stop whatever I am doing and take a few minutes to think of situations where I did or could become defensive and declare about each:<br /> <br /><strong><em>"In this situation involving</em></strong> (someone's name or other specifics) <strong><em>my safety lies not in defensiveness, but in joy."</em></strong><br /> <br />Finally as I retire each day I review my progress, not worrying about the times I forgot to substitute my joy for defensive tendencies; and feeling very, very good about the times when instead of becoming defensive I was able to stay with my spirit in joy. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIev3bfGicns9Cos6GhMNjVFw6mVz4qEuI9_89Jh6f8Pl2cM3walU6Ra5azwVfJhzcxthSjElZewpQs_K-UseIpc9tr3L0tP5E_oeKOpY115pk4My1030uR4pPqlt8m0wT8aZh-bqTbw/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIev3bfGicns9Cos6GhMNjVFw6mVz4qEuI9_89Jh6f8Pl2cM3walU6Ra5azwVfJhzcxthSjElZewpQs_K-UseIpc9tr3L0tP5E_oeKOpY115pk4My1030uR4pPqlt8m0wT8aZh-bqTbw/s400/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143248065127873042" /></a><br /><br />The device which more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, <strong> <a href="http://www.acimi.com/catalog/acim.htm" target=_blank>A Course in Miracles</a> </strong>, talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from <strong><em>every</em></strong> kind of slavery:<br /><br /><em><strong> You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness.

I have also learned when I release all fear, I return to my natural state. Now I am ready to see that my natural state of being is also joyous and my joy works very strongly to bring about the achievement of my goals. <br /><br />Why is this so? Why does my joy act as a magnet attracting others and opening their minds to consideration of my political ideas? <br /><br />The answer is easy to find. If joy is my natural state of being, it is also everyone else's natural state. So regardless of how much someone's surface-thinking intellectual mind might be put off by my joy, his or her inner being says, "Here is someone who is showing me what I really, really, really want! Here is someone who is teaching me by example what life can be and should be." <br /><br />When people's innermost being responds to me in such a positive way, it is not easy for them to lapse into fighting me in the political realm or any other realm. Their minds are suddenly too open for them to be in resistance. <br /><br />So my goal is to be in-touch with my joy, to <strong><em>be</em></strong> my joy, to express my joy at all times. To this end I practice this week's lesson with joyous diligence. <br /><br />Each day as I wake up this week, I will access my joy by reminding myself that my joy is always inside of me when I ask to experience it. Each morning I will ask inside one time or a hundred times, as many times as it takes, to bring forth the experience of my joy: <br /><br /><strong><em>"Joy? Are you there? Are you there, joy? Come and show yourself!" </em></strong><br /><br />Joy will always bubble up from within me if I ask with persistent desire. To know that joy is my true nature and yet not ask for the experience each morning would be something like a slap in the face to anyone who has ever loved me and wanted the best for me. This I will not do. I accept my joy. <br /><br />During my five minute hourly meditations throughout the day, I will take the time to revisit my joy and remind myself how my joy is working for me. I will repeat to myself statements such as: <br /><br /><strong><em>"This joy of mine is helping me accomplish my objectives." <br /><br />"My joy is opening up an interest in my ideas." <br /><br />"The joy I feel keeps me safe from attack." <br /><br />"My joy wins people over and gives me confidence." </em></strong><br /><br />Then at the end of each day I use my pre-sleep meditation to once again rejoice in my true nature and tell myself the truth as my spirit sees it: <br /><br /><strong><em>"My joy brings me everything I have ever wanted." </em></strong><br /><br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIev3bfGicns9Cos6GhMNjVFw6mVz4qEuI9_89Jh6f8Pl2cM3walU6Ra5azwVfJhzcxthSjElZewpQs_K-UseIpc9tr3L0tP5E_oeKOpY115pk4My1030uR4pPqlt8m0wT8aZh-bqTbw/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIev3bfGicns9Cos6GhMNjVFw6mVz4qEuI9_89Jh6f8Pl2cM3walU6Ra5azwVfJhzcxthSjElZewpQs_K-UseIpc9tr3L0tP5E_oeKOpY115pk4My1030uR4pPqlt8m0wT8aZh-bqTbw/s400/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143248065127873042" /></a><br /><br />The device which more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, <strong> <a href="http://www.acimi.com/catalog/acim.htm" target=_blank>A Course in Miracles</a> </strong>, talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from <strong><em>every</em></strong> kind of slavery:<br /><br /><em><strong> You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness.

<br />
Jesus Christ states in modern day revelation: <i>Theological considerations as such are necessarily controversial, since they depend on belief and can therefore be accepted or rejected. A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary</i>."<br />
<br />
The same principle holds true in politics. All political considerations are controversial and none can be universally accepted because every human being's perception is different. Yet the <b><i>experience</i></b> of freedom from government dictatorship is not only possible ... but necessary for the the teaching/learning exposure human beings need to reach the fullness of life.<br />
<br />
To serve our lives politically we need not get sidetracked with a million and one issues and considerations. We need only focus on and work to achieve the <b><i>one and only</i></b> experience: freedom from government dictatorship.<br />
<br />
When American colonial representatives declared their secession from British rule they stated the truth that human beings are right (have a right) to experience life, to experience liberty, and to use their free will to pursue happiness. Their statement of these basic human rights should have been the foundation of a government with one function only: <b><i>response</i></b> if there has been an apparent violation or threat to these rights.<br />
<br />
Instead an American government was soon formed which allowed for elections and a legislature not specifically restricted to responding, therefore leaving open the door to future government dictatorship over the lives of those who have harmed or threatened no one. So although the American government started as one of the most human free will governments in history it slowly became more and more a device for political dictatorship.<br />
<br />
Flash forward a couple centuries and Americans who are in touch with their deeper heart and soul (as opposed to their ego's intellectualism) feel cravings for their rightful freedom.<br />
<br />
Can elections with their monumental dishonesty, corruption, attack, conflict and dictatorship by a majority of voters (or by those who have hoodwinked a majority of voters) be eliminated? Maybe that's a future goal for mankind. But at present too many people want to believe their vote counts for something. Can a legislature with its ability to create ego-made laws with their unforeseen results of pain, suffering, and sabotage be phased out? Possible goal for future mankind. But for now the true nature of "legislature evil" is barely recognized at all.<br />
<br />
So what <b><i>can</i></b> be done?<br />
<br />
It is imperative that we focus only on the <i><b>one</b></i> political fundamental: freedom from government dictatorship. We cannot continue spewing our energy in a hundred different wasteful directions by focusing on a hundred different issues and considerations.<br />
<br />
We must become zealous educators for freedom, pointing out to everyone that human beings have free will for a reason, so they can discover their way to the fullness of life either by making wise choices or by making poor choices creating lessons to learn. <br />
<br />
We must constantly point out that the dominion of some people over the free will of others who have harmed or threatened no one is inhuman, totally damaging to humanity. <br />
<br />
We must weaken and eventually destroy the mistaken belief that sometimes government dictatorship serves a good purpose, because government dictatorship always leads to some people suffering actual pain and difficulty while everyone lives in a polluted atmosphere of endless conflict.<br />
<br />
How to address individual issues? Those with a dictatorship mindset know they can always have easy wins if they forever invent new political proposals and misdirect our focus toward the surface appearances of these proposals and away from the reality of whether the proposals enhance freedom or institute government dictatorship.<br />
<br />
With every proposal that is brought up we must ask <b><i>one and only one</i></b> question: "Does this involve government dictatorship over someone who has harmed or threatened no one?<br />
<br />
If the answer is "yes," then we must point out to people that the proposal's dictatorial nature is far more damaging to the human condition than whatever problem the proposed government action is imagined to "solve."<br />
<br />
Is this a waste of time given the current surface appearances of the political landscape? Ask a farmer if a harvest can be expected without planting seeds.<br />
<br />
Human beings have free will and are meant to experience freedom. Which means someday freedom will reign victorious. If we keep focusing on and pointing out the inhumanity of government dictatorship we will feel the joy of sensing the future ... freedom's inevitable victory.<br />
<br />

<br />
"You must buy health insurance ... or else!" Are you willing to admit this is government dictatorship?<br />
<br />
"You must use politically correct speech ... or else!" Do you see the dictatorship?<br />
<br />
"Government gets some of your earnings ... or else!" (No matter that your earnings will pay for programs which violate your deeply held beliefs.) Dictatorship for everyone's good, right?<br />
<br />
"Politicians and bureaucrats have created hundreds of thousands of man-made, ego-made rules which you <i>will</i> follow ... or else!" Do you really enjoy all this government dictatorship?<br />
<br />
The illusion that America is a free country may well be history's greatest fantasy. America is a dictatorship. People who like America's government dictatorship continually cry "democracy" to sell us the illusion we are free, but dictatorship by any other name is still dictatorship.<br />
<br />
"But it's good dictatorship because all these laws and rules are of the people, by the people, for the people."<br />
<br />
This is fantasy. How can some people dictating what other people should buy, dictating what kind of speech is allowed, dictating how a portion of another's earnings will be distributed ... how can that be of the people, by the people, or for the people who are being forced against their will?<br />
<br />
"But it's dictatorship for their own good."<br />
<br />
More fantasy. We can convince ourselves we know what is likely good for another person, but we can never <i>truly</i> know what lessons and life experiences the other person really needs. To assume we know better than others what is good for them is the height of arrogance.<br />
<br />
So how do we extricate Americans from all this fantasy? <br />
<br />
By calling a spade a spade. American culture is saturated with propaganda publicizing the theme "democracy vs. dictatorship" in an attempt to pretend the two are different because one is clothed differently. This propaganda can only be offset by hundreds of millions of instances of the truth being stated, democracy <i>is </i>dictatorship.<br />
<br />
Remember Hans Christian Andersen's tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," in which people are afraid to say the emperor is naked because if they did so then they themselves would be seen as stupid or incompetent? Finally an innocent child yells, "But he isn't wearing anything at all."<br />
<br />
Americans seem to have a morbid vested interest in believing the illusion. The only kind of dictatorship they are willing to see is absolute rule by one person, so they justify the deception by saying: "America would never allow absolute rule by one person, so could never be a dictatorship. Doesn't America look good clothed in democracy!?"<br />
<br />
The way to break the spell of an illusion is to yell the truth for everyone to hear. "Look beyond the illusion! A dictatorship by politicians is still a dictatorship. A dictatorship by a majority of voters is still a dictatorship. A dictatorship of the proletariat is still a dictatorship."<br />
<br />
The fantasy that America is a free country is deeply believed. So to break through the illusion those who see truly have to yell loudly and clearly every time the dictatorship shows itself.<br />
<br />
It will not work to be anti-government in all respects because the vast majority of people sense a legitimate use for government: <i>to</i> <i>respond if someone has violated someone else</i>. Dictatorship is when the government itself violates the free will of people who have violated no one. <br />
<br />
Whether we believe Jesus Christ gives modern day revelation or not, we can still see the logic of these words from A Course in Miracles: <b><i>"Freedom cannot be learned by tyranny of ANY kind, and the perfect equality of all cannot be recognized through the dominion of one will over another."</i></b><br />
<br />
So every time our friends or neighbors start saying "there ought to be a law," or start talking about this or that government program which violates the free will of innocent people for "for their own good" or "for the good of society," let us not hesitate to be like Hans Christian Andersen's little child and announce in speech or writing: "dictatorship!"<br />
<br />
If people in conversation keep hearing the word, "dictatorship!", if surfers of social media keep seeing the word, "dictatorship!", if those who scan articles and letters and political feedback keep reading the word, "dictatorship!"... finally ... with enough repetition ... Americans will come to admit the reality beneath the illusion.<br />

</center>
<br />
Newton's Third Law is often phrased "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Actually, this is true in politics as well as physics.<br />
<br />
The movie "Cristiada" (also known as "For Greater Glory") chronicled the three year Cristeros War in Mexico when the government attempted to secularize the nation, much the same as the Obama administration worked to secularize America. This was a shooting war, a populist war against a government trying to force upon people misguided Utopian ideas. The movie trailer states: "When the government outlawed faith ... the faithful became outlaws," which can be understood as "the faithful became freedom fighters." An equal and opposite reaction?<br />
<br />
The Obama administration's headlong plunge into leftist Utopian dictatorial policies, which in another time and place would have been called "fascism," gave rise to its own equal and opposite reaction: many people joining liberty movements and freedom causes; Tea Party gatherings; passionate crowds at Ron Paul rallies; mushrooming sales of guns and ammunition; popular authors turning to themes of American societal collapse or even coming civil war; eventually the electoral victory of President Trump.<br />
<br />
The prolific author, William Johnstone, published in 2011 the first in his fictional series about America in which an Obama-like president allows the country to degenerate and face attack by Islamic nukes. The first book in the series is entitled <b><i>Phoenix Rising</i></b> and carried the subtitle statement: "<b><i>When freedom's under fire, America fights back!</i></b>" An equal and opposite reaction?<br />
<br />
Best selling author, Brad Thor, wrote in his novel <i><b>Full Black</b></i>:<br />
<br />
<b><i>"What we discovered was that beginning in the 1940s, radical elements inside the United States had recognized that there were these huge piles of money just sitting inside multiple large foundations and endowments all across the country. These big government collectivists, globalists, socialists and communists realized that if they could get into positions of power, say on the boards of directors at the foundations or the endowments, they could steer the money any way they wanted. And that is exactly what they did.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">"On top of indoctrinating kids, </i><span style="font-weight: bold;">(Mr.)</span><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Standing </i>(a liberal-progressive)<i style="font-weight: bold;"> wanted to get as many people dependent upon the government as possible. Government handouts, even for corporations, are like heroin. Most people, once they're hooked, remain hooked and don't even realize it. They rationalize that they are entitled to the handouts.</i><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>"History also shows us that once a democracy goes down this road.... Each and every single time, the democracy collapses. It always happens. Democracy is always followed by dictatorship. And guess what the dictator promises?"</i></b><br />
<br />
Is Brad Thor one of many thinkers recognizing an equal and opposite reaction?<br />
<br />
Certainly in reaction to government dictatorship, the Third Law of Politics has historically always been in effect.<br />
<br />
Marxists, Keynesians, and liberal-progressives just don't get it. Liberty is mankind's birthright. There is no alternative. Every action they initiate using government threat of force to push their Utopian programs creates an equal and opposite reaction pulling for liberty. As government expands its power, people's deep inner desire for liberty becomes even more powerfully felt.<br />
<br />
Maybe the Third Law of Politics helps us understand Lesson 23 of the <i><b>Course in Political Miracles</b></i>: <a href="http://libertydiscourses.blogspot.com/1995/06/course-in-political-miracles-lesson-23.html">"I see my enemies working for my success."</a><br />
<br />
As government regulations increase, the craving for freedom among the people increases exponentially. This Third Law of Politics is not a man-made law. Therefore it is not taught in university political "science" classes. Such a curriculum failure is not only dishonest, but very unfortunate. Great pain could be averted.<br />
<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-IV90E72yGz42d0FMug7Oc5AErT7l2m8pdyuts_cirfEEmvhCu4JavOqpj_sAm-19Hc5tRaUDDYztxk2FtMUPPlq9Y_OmgldkO95_GviQawh9Z0pq5md7bJ-8quodGrRkDK6xYAz8pQ/s1600-h/rock-climbing.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310588094225497970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-IV90E72yGz42d0FMug7Oc5AErT7l2m8pdyuts_cirfEEmvhCu4JavOqpj_sAm-19Hc5tRaUDDYztxk2FtMUPPlq9Y_OmgldkO95_GviQawh9Z0pq5md7bJ-8quodGrRkDK6xYAz8pQ/s320/rock-climbing.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 289px;" /></a><br />
If an election does not produce the results we'd like ... there is no need to abandon our peace or joy. The principles we are learning with the lessons of this course are perfect for maintaining our invulnerability in the wake of an election as well during all political happenings. In fact, just as the ultimate goal of a liberty activist is far beyond the intermediate issues talked about in a particular election cycle, so the ultimate goal of this course is not only long range political success but benefit far beyond the realm of politics.<br />
<br />
There is nothing we cannot accomplish if we live by these principles. The more we learn about spiritual opening (not religious beliefs, but true spiritual opening beyond any particular beliefs), the happier and more efficient our lives become. When we release guilt, fear, anger, wanting, fixed belief systems, and other pain-causing habits, what remains is love, joy, and inner peace. Why wouldn't our whole lives be more efficient?<br />
<br />
Does this mean a spiritually opened person can live within the prohibitive darkness of a Marxist society or the depressing gray cloud of a liberal-progressive dictatorship and still thrive and be happy? As a matter of fact ... yes. Because a spiritually opened person is in touch with inner happiness which does not depend on external circumstances. <br />
<br />
Does this mean we can still feel free in an unfree world? As a matter of fact, yes ... if we are seeing clearly that an unfree world doesn't have to affect our freedom. But such clear seeing requires being open spiritually. A truly free person, a person in touch with inner freedom, does not need to be affected by external circumstances. <br />
<br />
In a political activism context, does this mean we can be joyous and happy and not the least bit depressed even if liberty-leaning candidates lose everywhere in an overwhelming election landslide? Why not? Who decides whether we are happy or not? Voting results external to us? Or we ourselves ... in charge of how we feel? <br />
<br />
If we are in charge of how we feel ... if external events or circumstances do not determine our inner happiness ... then we are in a very, very strong position indeed. <br />
<br />
Well, it turns out the only way we can become depressed or unhappy is if we allow external circumstances or events to have more importance in our minds than they need have, so the logical choice is easy. We can choose to see that specific outcomes are nowhere near as important as our inner state of being. What an incredible position of strength! Now we are like Howard Roark in <strong><em>The Fountainhead</em></strong>, in Roark's words asking nothing, expecting nothing, depending on nothing ... experiencing freedom.<br />
<br />
This month let's use this lesson to fortify in our minds the idea that external events, external circumstances or external outcomes like election results do not matter as much as our egos would like us to believe because we can choose to be happy no matter what. <br />
<br />
To this end we start each day with some form of affirmation which reminds us. Something like: <br />
<br />
<strong><em>"Independent of election results ... I'm the one who decides whether I am happy or not! Knowing this, I am invulnerable."</em></strong> <br />
<br />
<strong><em>"My strength today comes from my choice to stay happy in the face of any and all circumstances in the world."</em></strong> <br />
<br />
<strong><em>"Today my priorities are: (1) choose happiness, (2) choose happiness, and (3) choose happiness. What power this gives me!"</em></strong> <br />
<br />
It doesn't matter what affirmations we use to remind ourselves. Our inner voice may give us very powerful statements indeed. The important thing is to allow our imagination to give us mental pictures while using the affirmations, and then to use the statements until we feel the truth of them. <br />
<br />
As always, we also take at least 20 minutes during the day for meditation, quieting our minds, and really feeling the peace and joy of our inner being. <br />
<br />
When we retire each day this month, we rejoice in our strength and power. We rejoice that we do not give away our strength by thinking that externals are so important as to affect our happiness. We rejoice that one-time election results cannot get in the way of our achieving our ultimate political goals precisely because temporary results don't affect who we really are. Before smiling ourselves to sleep, we might say aloud to ourselves one last reminder:<br />
<br />
<strong><em>"Having surrendered the need for particular outcomes, I am unstoppable." </em></strong><br />
<br />

"God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER. The laws of God work only for your good, and there ARE no other laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawLESS, and therefore chaotic." -<b>Jesus Christ</b> in <b>A Course in Miracles</b> <br />

<br />
If we persist in pointing out to a liberal-progressive Democrat that most of their favored programs amount to repressive controlling dictatorship, we will hear a response something like: "Yes, but it's for the good of the majority!" When pressed, Democrats will always finally agree that government dictatorship is okay with them as long as (in their opinion) the dictatorship is good for the majority of people.<br />
<br />
For Democrats to some degree or another ... the ends justify the means.<br />
<br />
Believing the ends justify the means is a civilization-destroying slippery slope. In politics, ends which are thought to be "good for the majority" soon become justification for cheating, law breaking, lying, and obstructing justice. Just ask Hillary Clinton. And if the end is seen as important enough, even violently attacking others or their property becomes justified in one's mind. Just ask leftist street activists. And finally if the end is imagined to be so important that murder is justified....<br />
<br />
Hopefully Democrats don't go so far as to justify murder. Yet it might be tempting to say the Democratic Party is comprised of dictators in spirit ... except that our spirit isn't into dictatorship. Dictatorship is of the ego, not the spirit.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, most Republicans do not believe with the same fervor that the ends justify the means. Although in many instances they themselves would like to be doing the dictating, they are usually not willing to go as far as Democrats in achieving such dictatorship. Most Republicans simply do not have such a high degree of ferociousness in this respect.<br />
<br />
Think of the Disney film "The Lion King." Most Republicans compared to Democrats are like hyenas compared to lions. And we all know hyenas back off cowering and sulking when faced down by lions, right? In the context of today's political jungle because of their ferocity Democrats are more like lions than hyenas, and they seem to believe they deserve to be king.<br />
<br />
But remember, dictatorship is of the ego. And there is within us, infinitely stronger than ego ... the spirit of life itself, free of ego. And that brings us to liberty activists. While Democrats and many Republicans only fight with as much power as their ego can muster, liberty activists are in touch with their deep inner spirit which is free and wants for us outer conditions reflecting our natural freedom. The spirit of freedom in human beings is unbelievably powerful when finally awakened and allowed to create without ego influence.<br />
<br />
Not desiring to be dictators, and therefore not needing to operate out of ego, liberty activists have the possibility of being like the venerable baboon Rafiki in "The Lion King," who is supremely in-touch with the circle of life, laughing with mischievous amusement as he flows with the universal flow of wisdom and power.<br />
<br />
With the same words Rafiki spoke to prod Simba into discovering his deeper identity, <b><i>Course in Political Miracles</i></b> can be imagined to spur those who wish to assist liberty's creation: <i>"The question is who are you? You don't even know who you are." </i><br />
<br />
The lessons of this course help individuals rise above ego and merge into their true identity which is much more powerful and effective than they could have imagined.<br />
<br />
Practice the lessons. Integrate them seriously. As a result you will enjoy watching liberty being created in amazing and fun ways. And someday experiencing the certainty that liberty cannot fail you might even laugh with Rafiki-like playful merriment and say, <i>"Liberty? Hakuna matata!"</i><br />
<br />

The device which even more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, <strong> <a href="http://www.acimi.com/catalog/acim.htm" target="_blank">A Course in Miracles</a> </strong>, talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from <strong><em>every</em></strong> kind of slavery:<br />
<br />
<em><strong> You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping, and needs no guide. But this wild and delusional thought needs help, because, in its delusions, it thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery. </strong></em><br />

The outdated way of perceiving elected politicians as <i>liberal</i> vs. <i>conservative</i> is totally misleading. Politicians these days are far more logically perceived as <i>libertarian</i> vs. <i>progressive socialist</i>. This is made clear by the <a href="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/016dd7df6198d95f9d07131a2/files/LibertyIndex2015.pdf">Liberty Index</a> published by Professor Clifford F. Thies.<br />
<br />
Based on votes in the U.S. House of Representatives, the vast majority of Republican members fall in the libertarian quadrant, while the vast majority of Democratic members of the House fall in the Progressive Socialist quadrant.<br />

The device which even more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, <strong> <a href="http://www.acimi.com/catalog/acim.htm" target="_blank">A Course in Miracles</a> </strong>, talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from <strong><em>every</em></strong> kind of slavery:<br />
<br />
<em><strong> You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping, and needs no guide. But this wild and delusional thought needs help, because, in its delusions, it thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery. </strong></em><br />

"God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER. The laws of God work only for your good, and there ARE no other laws beside His.

<br />
This Course in Political Miracles arises from the understanding that in every generation liberty must be taught, but cannot be taught using fear, resentment, anger, or attack. Only those at peace inside themselves truly teach peace to the world, and only those feeling free inside themselves truly teach freedom to the world.<br />
<br />
So this course is a personal preparation device for those who would truly teach liberty. It removes from would-be teachers of liberty the blocks which prevent their innate peace and freedom from shining forth. It removes habits of self-sabotage, replacing such habits with traits seen only in the most highly successful teachers.
<br />
<br />
For many years those who crave liberty have sabotaged the cause of liberty by presenting themselves as arrogant and joyless, self-imprisoned by their own grievances against politicians and government, self-condemned by their own attacks against those who disagree with them, self-defeated by their own addiction to intellectualism over extending love and joy. They have been rebels without attractiveness.<br />
<br />
The Course in Political Miracles changes all that.<br />
<br />
The impulse to dictatorship arises out of fear and insecurity, mechanisms of the ego. Beneath the ego, far deeper than all the insecurity and fear anyone may have created, is another impulse: the impulse to liberty, to live and let live.<br />
<br />
Everyone, deep down inside, harbors the buried impulse to liberty. Helping people get in touch with this deeper impulse to liberty and feel it in a meaningful way requires teachers who are themselves free inside and attract irresistible respect. The Course in Political Miracles clears away the self-sabotaging mechanisms of the ego and allows true mastery to shine forth.<br />
<br />
If diligently used, this Course leads to great inner peace and freedom, removing the self-imposed blocks to the radiant attractiveness of one's natural joy and love; and allowing its students to be one with the Force (using a Star Wars analogy), one with the Spirit of Liberty.<br />
<br />
The Spirit of Liberty asks you to prepare yourself to really efficiently teach liberty. You can answer this call by mastering the Course in Political Miracles.<br />
<br />

<br />
Liberty lovers can easily discover all the usual political "tricks of the trade" by studying a number of highly successful political campaigns and analyzing what makes them successful. That is the way of political science.<br />
<br />
But the purpose of this <a href="http://libertydiscourses.blogspot.com/2007/12/course-in-political-miracles.html">Course In Political Miracles</a> is primarily to help liberty lovers evolve abilities and tools which other politicians or political activists or political science professors have not developed. <br />
<br />
One of these very powerful tools is the practice of planting in people's minds a juxtaposition between <i>a positive possibility for liberty</i> and <i>a positive possibility for them personally</i>.<br />
<br />
For example, one woman used every opportunity to say to everyone she ran into: "I heard that people who become Rand Paul supporters are experiencing honest-to-God miracles in their lives. It's incredible!"<br />
<br />
People would sometimes respond, "Where did you hear that? What are you talking about?"<br />
<br />
The woman would then avoid specifics, finding ways to immediately become distracted and put off answering. But in the mean time ... seed planted.<br />
<br />
Two possibilities are now juxtaposed in the minds of her listeners. (1) A possibility the listeners could become Rand Paul supporters (which the woman would love). (2) A possibility the listeners could experience miracles (which the listeners would love).<br />
<br />
Since ideas in mind associate with each other, this woman has literally caused an association in her listeners' minds between supporting Rand Paul and miracles. <br />
<br />
"But that sounds almost like chicanery."<br />
<br />
Yes ... almost ... until you look deeper. Since Rand Paul stands for political liberty and against any kind of disguised political dictatorship, the listeners who eventually act on this new mental association and become Rand Paul supporters actually <i>will</i> experience miracles.<br />
<br />
<i>"A miracle rearranges the order of perception, and places the levels [of perception] in their true perspective. A miracle is a beginning and an end. It thus abolishes time. It undoes the past in the present, and thus releases the future. Miracles honor man, they release him from a prison in which he has imprisoned himself. By freeing his mind from illusions, they restore his sanity."</i><br />
<br />
Will a man becoming a Rand Paul supporter experience a change in perception, seeing things in a true perspective? Will his past be undone and his future released? Will he experience healing as he becomes newly in-touch with his innermost desire for freedom, and thus in-touch with his true nature? Will his illusions be dispelled and his sanity restored? All this will happen at least to some degree, wouldn't you say?<br />
<br />
Until they actually become Rand Paul supporters, will the woman's listeners be able to shake the association out of their minds? Not easily. The way the mind works, there would have to be <i>direct evidence</i> to the contrary in order to completely wipe out the association. <br />
<br />
Will her listeners feel a recurring niggling temptation to consider becoming a Rand Paul supporter just to see what happens? Definitely. A seed has been planted and the listener's subconscious mind will want to find out one way or another.<br />
<br />
Will her listeners ever actually <em>vote</em> for Rand Paul? Yes, likely. To be associated, even in the slightest way, is to be associated. It would be hard for the listeners <i>not</i> to vote for Rand Paul at least once because somewhere in their subconscious minds is the muted thought "A few miracles would be nice."<br />
<br />
If her listeners become even a little open-minded to supporting Rand Paul are there benefits to the liberty movement? You decide.<br />
<br />
Rand Paul is like a shining knight charging up the hill to overthrow the old Republican establishment and reshape the Republican Party for liberty. The transformation of an extensive well-established political party takes time, and Rand will of course have more and more supporters as time goes on. But we can all help by planting some version of <i>positive association</i> in people's minds.<br />

The device which even more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, <strong> <a href="http://www.acimi.com/catalog/acim.htm" target="_blank">A Course in Miracles</a> </strong>, talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from <strong><em>every</em></strong> kind of slavery:<br />
<br />
<em><strong> You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping, and needs no guide. But this wild and delusional thought needs help, because, in its delusions, it thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery. </strong></em><br />

<br />
Rand Paul can win the Republican nomination and the presidency by making only one offer. At the same time, there are seemingly endless offers that will not work.<br />
<br />
Rand's early popularity came from his offer of a foreign policy of non-intervention. Such a policy was accepted by many Republicans and many non-Republicans who were tired of wars which boomerang on the United States.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately it's too easy to view such a policy as unwillingness to help neighbors who are in trouble, or as weakness in national defense. Such an offer is too easy to reject, by too many.<br />
<br />
Rand acted heroically in offering Americans loyal adherence to the Fourth Amendment in his fight against the Patriot Act's overreach. Again, as we saw, it was too easy for too many people to refuse Rand's offer, imagining home-grown terrorists will have smooth sailing if government agencies can't spy on U.S. citizens.<br />
<br />
Let's suppose Rand Paul offered people marijuana. That wouldn't work either. There are too many people who have seen loved ones destroy lives with drugs. Rightly or wrongly these people say, "marijuana started it all." They would decline Rand's offer.<br />
<br />
There must be something to offer which is so fundamentally necessary to the fullness of life that even if people reject it ... they could not really <i>mean</i> it. In other words, they could reject it on a surface ego level, but they would then be in conflict with their inner spirit.<br />
<br />
There is only one such political offer: liberty, freedom.<br />
<br />
People can say, "What in hell would I want to be free for!" But they <i>cannot really mean it</i>. Therein lies liberty's assurance of success.<br />
<br />
Our spirit is free. Freedom is our inner state of being, our natural state of being. So if a man opts for something other than freedom, he is (probably unawares) in conflict with himself. Even if he loves dictatorship, he cannot love it 100%. Some percentage of himself deep inside wants freedom.<br />
<br />
No one can fully, completely, 100% refuse his or her natural state of being. So all Rand has to do is offer freedom, and continue offering freedom, and never cease offering freedom.<br />
<br />
It is the act of <i>offering</i> freedom which would really do the work of electing Rand Paul. Ronald Reagan offered freedom to the American public: "I want to give you back what America once had ... freedom!" Reagan said it loud and clear, and won elections by landslides.<br />
<br />
Did people actually <em>experience</em> more freedom when Ronald Reagan was president? After all, the government continued to grow, taxes increased, and there was little perceptible movement toward more political freedom. <br />
<br />
The answer is people <i>did</i> feel freer. They had voted for freedom. They had chosen the natural state of their spirit. Having so chosen, their predisposition was toward <em>feeling</em> more of their natural state regardless of conditions outside themselves. Whoever offers freedom, by virtue of the offer, ends up facilitating freedom. During the Reagan years many more people joined the liberty movement.<br />
<br />
"That's all well and good," some will argue: "but candidates are expected to focus on more than one issue."<br />
<br />
Okay ... so Rand Paul needs brutally honest self-evaluation, asking himself:<br />
<br />
"<i>What issues are my ego's favorites, and do my ego's favorite issues really awaken the desire for freedom in most other people?</i><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>"What am I offering? How clearly do my offers call upon people's natural desire for freedom? </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>"What issues really do resonate with everyone's inner desire for freedom?"</em><br />
<br />
To see the self-defeating effect of ego-issues one needs only look at the Libertarian Party.<br />
<br />
During many recent elections, the Libertarian Party has clung to one of the weakest, most worthless self-defeating possible campaign themes. The one consistently publicized campaign issue favored by the party leadership was, "We offer an alternative to Republicans and Democrats." <br />
<br />
Big deal! Joseph Stalin would be an alternative to Republicans and Democrats. Adolph Hitler would be an alternative to Republicans and Democrats. Not voting at all would be an alternative to Democrats and Republicans. <br />
<br />
Yes, most Republicans and all Democrats truly have forgotten their source, but they too will someday remember that deep down below all the liberal-progressive ego insanity they are libertarians. To offer merely an alternative to Democrats and Republicans is to offer no clearly defined opening into people's deepest desires. Is it any wonder that most Libertarian candidates receive a very small percentage of the vote? <br />
<br />
So elections are winnable for Rand Paul. But he does need to listen inside and allow his inner spiritual voice to tell him what he really needs to focus on, to give him a list of issues which just about everyone on a deep level will respond favorably to.<br />
<br />
Rand needs to never forget that issues given by his inner voice are issues worth campaigning for because these are issues that are going to open people's inner desire for freedom.<br />
<br />
Rand's inner voice has already told him: "<i>Freedom cannot be learned by tyranny of ANY kind, and the perfect equality of all cannot be recognized through the dominion of one will over another</i>."<br />
<br />
Now Rand needs to never forget that by offering freedom he is making the only offer that cannot be totally 100% refused.<br />

<br />
Cartoonists have fun with the well-deserved reputation coyotes have for being tricky. When hunting, coyotes trick their prey. When being hunted, coyotes trick those who would dearly love to catch them. Coyote campaigning in politics "tricks" people into waking up. To illustrate, let's look at a possible coyote campaign to wake people up regarding taxation.<br />
<br />
The truth that taxation (threatening your neighbor with a government whip and demanding money for your purposes) is immoral and criminal cannot be sold directly to the general public who have been carefully and thoroughly brainwashed to believe paying taxes is their "duty."<br />
<br />
Only among people highly dedicated to reason can I even hope to be heard if I point out that taxation is extortion. If I campaign in public on the immorality of taxation, I will be crucified. Therefore, there has to be a winning <i>indirect</i> approach.<br />
<br />
The answer is a coyote campaign: a campaign that causes the problem to be looked at without specifically attacking the problem. A coyote approach in this instance does not campaign against taxation, but campaigns against retaliation for taxation and in favor of forgiveness of tax advocates. "No retaliation for taxation!" "Forgive taxers, for they know not what they do!"<br />
<br />
A coyote approach in this instance accomplishes the following:<br />
<br />
(1) People would be at least subconsciously in rapport with the coyote campaign because their inner spirit responds positively to non-retaliation and forgiveness.<br />
<br />
(2) Many people would suddenly ask themselves: "Why would taxers need forgiveness?" The answer awakens at least in some subconscious level of mind: "Because taxers must be hurting people, causing pain."<br />
<br />
(3) Many people would suddenly give thought to the essence of taxation: extortion, threat of property confiscation, ultimately threat of force. The immorality of taxation would no longer be easy to hide.<br />
<br />
(4) A possible future threat to freedom rising in the form of oppressive legislation and expansion of police-state power would be averted.<br />
<br />
This fourth point needs explanation.<br />
<br />
If liberal-progressives and their enablers have their way, taxes will continue to decimate paychecks, greater numbers of people will be impoverished or struggling financially, and more people than ever will be furious about taxes. A Robin Hood mindset might emerge. A charismatic leader might come along who says, "It's okay to coerce the coercers! Those who are taxed would be within their rights to tax the taxers! Politicians who steal from the people have no moral claim to immunity from theft of their own personal property!" <br />
<br />
If such a leader were to convince even a few followers that it is heroic to become Robin Hoods, robbing from the taxers and giving to those taxed, it would not be long before we would see the spectacle of misguided vigilantes taking upon themselves a self-appointed mission of conducting midnight sneak attacks stealing the personal property of politicians who favor taxation and the personal property of those who call for assertive government programs requiring taxation.<br />
<br />
Only a handful of such attacks would lead to the noisiest cry ever for more protection for politicians and those in cahoots with politicians. Such a resounding cry by politicians and their cohorts for protection would lead to more oppressive legislation and greater expansion of police-state powers than ever before. <br />
<br />
The public already knows that pursuing "an eye for an eye" against politicians and others who vote for taxation (other than voting such politicians out of office) is not the way to go. Yet by noisily trumpeting the obvious, we stay in rapport with the public while yet inviting everyone to look deeper at the immorality of taxation itself. Which politicians would dare come after those campaigning long and loud <i>against retaliation</i> for taxation?<br />
<br />
There are numerous aspects to conducting such a campaign.<br />
<br />
Citizen's committees can be set up in cities all over the United States for the specific purpose of opposing retaliation for taxation. There can be thousands of letters to editors, and news media contacts, and social media expositions regarding "heading off at the pass" any tendency people have to begin retaliating against politicians who tax, or against people who favor taxation. <br />
<br />
Freedom candidates themselves can campaign loudly and constantly against retaliation for taxation. No matter that it's never been an issue on anyone's mind. It gets people thinking.<br />
<br />
Bumper stickers can be printed up stating: "No retaliation for taxation!" and "Forgive the taxers!" <br />
<br />
Petitions can be circulated in shopping malls and outside libraries favoring: "Clemency for politicians and others who vote for taxes!" <br />
<br />
Issue ads can be purchased with bold headlines stating: "Retaliation for taxation is not the answer!" <br />
<br />
All tools of the trade of issue-oriented campaigning can and should be used.<br />
<br />
If we think of politicians being the original tricksters by hoodwinking people into supporting their ways, coyote campaigning is seen as a fun can't-lose approach ... tricking the trickster.<br />

<b><i>"Our spirit is free and wants for us outer conditions of freedom (political liberty) so it can guide us to unimaginable prosperity and well-being."</i></b><br />
<br />
This is the liberty message that sells. This is the liberty message that resonates deep inside of people. This is the liberty message that wins the important elections. <br />
<br />
But why would liberty lovers want to win important elections?<br />
<br />
Because those who win elections have the power to either <i><b>reduce</b></i> people's political liberty [which liberty lovers don't want] or <b><i>increase</i></b> people's political liberty [which liberty lovers do want]. Majority rule is only tyranny of the majority if the majority votes to reduce freedom. If a majority votes to increase freedom ... that's not tyranny. If a majority of Republicans had voted for "the lesser evil" of Ron Paul in the 2008 or 2012 Republican primary elections, tyranny wouldn't have gained ground ... liberty would have gained.<br />
<br />
But why are liberty champions always losing really meaningful elections? It cannot be because people want more tyranny. The vast majority of people are at least somewhat in touch with their spirit, which wants for them political liberty. The urge for political liberty is universal and forever rising to the surface.<br />
<br />
The answer is, sorry to say, liberty champions do not take advantage of this natural urge in people. They do not spread a message that resonates with this urge. They do not proclaim really forcefully: <b><i>"Your spirit is free and wants for you outer conditions of freedom so it can guide you to unimaginable prosperity and well-being."</i></b><br />
<br />
Instead, liberty champions go on and on arguing about foreign wars, military bases in foreign countries, the need to legalize drugs, and a never-ending litany of other side-tracking issues. Never mind that such arguments are morally and logically correct. They are arguments which do not reach inside people and invite an experience of the fullness of their spirit. Such arguments stimulate the intellect, but do not awaken the depths of people's spirit.<br />
<br />
Those who fought the American War for Independence were inspired. They would not have chosen to endure misery and suffering and even possibly death in order to assure that drugs would always be legal or that Americans would never have a military presence in a foreign land. But they did chose a path of suffering, of misery, of possible death because they felt as deeply as anyone the freedom of their spirit and their spirit's craving for political liberty.<br />
<br />
Like the original Americans who favored secession from Britain, liberty lovers <b><i>do</i></b> feel their spirit ... otherwise they wouldn't be liberty lovers. They need only put on the back burner those arguments which don't really resonate with the vast majority of people, and start proclaiming very loud, very clear, and very often the truth which Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine helped American colonists hold in their constant awareness:<br />

<a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/585561470387232768/l-bDorj6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/585561470387232768/l-bDorj6.jpg" /></a></div>
In his book, <i>The Conservatarian Manifesto</i>, Charles C. W. Cooke writes about people who are unhappy with out-of-control government overreach, discontented with Republican leaders of recent decades, and not able to find a comfortable political label for themselves. They say things like: "When I'm around conservatives, I feel like I'm a libertarian; but when I'm around libertarians I feel like a conservative."<br />
<br />
We can imagine Cooke describing Rand Paul as a conservative-leaning libertarian, and characterizing Ted Cruz as a libertarian-leaning conservative. Both candidates champion liberty but (as with all of us) their vision of what liberty looks like and how to achieve it is colored by their personal past learning and current level of understanding.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://redmillennial.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ted_cruz.png?w=256&h=256&crop=1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://redmillennial.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ted_cruz.png?w=256&h=256&crop=1" /></a></div>
Cook recognizes, "While conservatism and libertarianism share many of the same qualities (most importantly opposition to insane man-made laws), they are absolutely not the same thing." A conservative might ask: "How can I possibly honor tried and true values and yet support a candidate whose live and let live attitude might open the door to destructive behavior?" A libertarian could ask: "How can I be totally loyal to the principles of live and let live and yet help elect a candidate who might possibly restrict how I would live?"<br />
<br />
While it is true that neither Ted Cruz nor Rand Paul is 100% conservative or 100% libertarian, both are <i>logically consistent</i> in their understanding that successful political steps to curb government insanity provides a much higher service to liberty than the politically self-destructive ego satisfaction of purity at all costs.<br />
<br />
Although conservatives and libertarians love to satisfy their egos by focusing on and magnifying their differences, if you find a conservative and a libertarian who are not controlled by ego they will agree that if <i>either</i> Rand Paul or Ted Cruz were to win the presidency, American government would be far less insane than with Hillary Clinton blowing the job.<br />
<br />
Americans don't need a new political category with a new label like <i>conservatarian</i>. Americans only need common sense.<br />
<br />
Is there value in <i>both</i> Rand Paul and Ted Cruz competing for the Republican nomination? Oh, yes. But that might require some explanation.<br />
<br />
If the liberal-progressive insanity which has permeated American society continues ... then libertarians, conservatives, and untold millions of non-political people are doomed to economic misery and enslavement to dictatorship by hopelessly misguided left-leaning politicians. Therefore, the first priority of both libertarians and conservatives <i>must be</i> to defeat liberal-progressives.<br />
<br />
One obvious value of both Ted Cruz and Rand Paul running is they are both out there making waves in public, reaching people and influencing people to focus on this crucial first priority.<br />
<br />
But there is a far more important value served by their candidacies. Neither conservatives nor libertarians are completely wrong (else their brand wouldn't be able to continue); nor is either group completely right (else they would have already experienced overwhelming political success). So in the evolution of mankind's political thinking, a winnowing process is taking place to separate the grains of truth from useless chaff.<br />
<br />
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz vigorously launching their ideas up into the gusting political airwaves serves to winnow away whatever does not resonate deep inside of people, while exposing whatever truth they offer to be seen more easily by everyone. This enormously important process will eventually lead the majority of Americans to hold a clear vision of profoundly authentic political liberty and its value to them.<br />
<br />
The ego's way to view Ted Cruz and Rand Paul would be to find fault with them. The ego says, "Here is where they are wrong." But remember, the ego's goal is sabotage of all that is truly valuable. Better to say to the ego: "Get thee behind me, Satan!" There is no profit in over-focusing on mistakes of those who might help our cause while overlooking their value.<br />
<br />
There is profit in paying attention to what our deep inner being wants for us and recognizing how different it is from temptations slipped into our minds by the ego. We don't need the temptation of a new political label, and in fact we find freedom in the statement: "Labels be damned!"<br />
<br />
Insisting on our right to individuality without labels, we can now appreciate Rand Paul and Ted Cruz tossing into the public winnowing basket not only their ideas but their entire lives in order to each in his own way aid the cause of liberty. Now our spirit is lifted out of the mire of ego-vested perceptions. Free of label enslavement, and riding a new wave of gratitude, our spirit ascends to new heights.<br />
<br />
Now having freed our minds, we too are teaching freedom to the world.<br />

The device which even more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, <strong> <a href="http://www.acimi.com/catalog/acim.htm" target="_blank">A Course in Miracles</a> </strong>, talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from <strong><em>every</em></strong> kind of slavery:<br />
<br />
<em><strong> You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping, and needs no guide. But this wild and delusional thought needs help, because, in its delusions, it thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery. </strong></em><br />

<br />
On February 28, 1854, 30 individuals who opposed any further compromise on slavery met in a little white schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin and vowed to influence the American political climate. They didn't yet have a name for their group, but they had a burning issue. In June, 1854, Horace Greeley editorialized that the people behind this cause should call themselves the "Republican Party," and the name took hold.<br />
<br />
Four months after the little Wisconsin meeting, on July 6, 1854, nearly 10,000 people attended a mass rally in Jackson, Michigan, to further the cause, and the Republican Party became an official party. Four months later, 13 members had been newly elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as Republicans.<br />
<br />
The rest is well-known history. Republicans won the U.S. Presidency 6 years later in 1860 and determined political policy in the U.S. for many years thereafter.<br />
<br />
How could such a profound change in the American political scene happen so quickly? It had to be a miracle, right?<br />
<br />
The miracle was Republicans had a single burning issue that resonated deep in the majority's heart and soul, and it was an issue not being satisfactorily addressed by anyone else.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to 2015 and the campaign to nominate Rand Paul. Pundits say it would take a miracle. We ask: I<i><b>s there a single burning issue which tugs on the depths of people's souls, and is yet an issue not being addressed by opponents?</b></i><br />
<br />
In his candidacy announcement speech, Rand talked about not a single burning issue, but several issues. Please take a moment to honestly grade these several issues against our question.<br />
<br />
(1) <i><b>Cutting spending and debt/fixing crony system of government.</b></i> All voters feel wrenched deep in their soul about this, true or false? No other candidate is addressing this issue, true or false?<br />
<br />
(2) <i><b>Freeing America's capitalism/prosperity for inner cities and everyone.</b></i> All voters feel wrenched deep in their soul about this, true or false? No other candidate is addressing this issue, true or false?<br />
<br />
(3) <b><i>Freeing education/school choice.</i></b> All voters feel wrenched deep in their soul about this, true or false? No other candidate is addressing this issue, true or false?<br />
<br />
(4) <i><b>Rational foreign policy/willingness to recognize and defend against true enemies.</b></i> All voters feel wrenched deep in their soul about this, true or false? No other candidate is addressing this issue, true or false?<br />
<br />
(5) <b><i>Insuring citizen privacy from government spying.</i></b> All voters feel wrenched deep in their soul about this, true or false? No other candidate is addressing this issue, true or false?<br />
<br />
If you've graded the above honestly, you will know whether millions of people are likely to suddenly feel a gut level urgent calling to jump on Rand Paul's bandwagon. You will know if Rand Paul's approach is good enough to create a political miracle.<br />
<br />
Strangely, there <b><i>is</i></b> a burning issue which Rand Paul did not mention and which <i><b>would</b></i> create the needed miracle. And strangely, it's the same issue that originally gave rise to the Republican Party.<br />
<br />
No compromise on slavery.<br />
<br />
Show a man that he is being enslaved, and his entire soul will cringe deep inside. Tell a woman that for her own good she needs to agree to be a slave, and her entire being will rebel. Slavery is a deeply wrenching burning issue.<br />
<br />
Liberal-progressive Democrats and machine Republican enablers have been increasingly asking the American people to accept slavery "for their own good," and in many instances simply enslaving people against their will. Not everyone recognizes this because of the illusion of "government by the people." But what happens if a candidate starts pointing out that the emperor has no clothes? What happens if a candidate starts calling a spade a spade?<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Rand Paul will not come right out and declare: <i><b>"It's not about this surface issue, or that surface issue, or any surface issue. It's about slavery!" </b></i>clearly stating the one burning issue that no one else is addressing. So the miracle will not be created this time around.<br />
<br />
Yet most of the issues mentioned by Rand Paul <i><b>imply</b></i> he would end today's form of slavery. In their intellects, people may not take the hint and may not make the connection. But inside themselves implications are felt, each a little soul-impregnation. So Rand Paul continues planting seeds, like Barry Goldwater or Ron Paul before him.<br />
<br />
Will Rand Paul win the Republican Party nomination? Probably not, unless he shifts from hinting and implying to specifically pointing out that slavery by any other form is still slavery.<br />
<br />
But he is sowing seeds far and wide. Even atheists can understand the following teaching of Jesus:<br />
<br />
<i><b>And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth, and when the sun was up, they were scorched and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up, and choked them. But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.</b></i><br />
<br />
Assuming Rand Paul fails to win the nomination of the anti-slavery party, his campaign is nonetheless a winning campaign. Why? Because there are always some seeds that fall on good ground and bring forth fruit.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
No two lovers of liberty view every political issue and strategy in the same way. But there does seem to be emerging these days among libertarians two broad general ways of seeing the world. Both start with the same libertarian axiom and corollary, but human beings choose what they want to perceive and axiom-focused libertarians see a different world than corollary-focused libertarians.<br />
<br />
All libertarians want to "live and let live," with "living life to the fullest" being the axiomatic principle and "letting live" (the Non-Aggression Principle) being an important corollary. But what happens if the corollary gains more importance in one's mind than the axiom? In other words, what if someone measures everything by "letting live," neglecting to <i>first</i> measure by "living life to the fullest?"<br />
<br />
It's tempting to say, "Nothing happens because the two are so interdependent. One cannot live life to the fullest without letting live, and one cannot let live without...." Oops! It doesn't work in reverse, does it? One can indeed let live and yet not live life to the fullest. So the question still waits an answer. What happens if one tries to reverse the corollary and the axiom?<br />
<br />
If your answer is, "Well, it's kind of like burying your head in the sand. Self-imposed blindness starts occurring" ... then you might be one whose head is <b><i>not</i></b> in the sand.<br />
<br />
Another answer might be something like, "Well, if you reverse the two you start seeing a fantasy world of your own making instead of the real world." And therein lies the difference between these two libertarian world views: the real world libertarians, and the make believe world libertarians; which in the current election cycle might have some libertarians arguing, "Better sand than Rand!" while others counter with, "Better Rand than sand!"<br />
<br />
The most obvious difference occurs in the area of foreign policy. How many times have you heard friends or neighbors say something like, "Libertarians have a lot of good ideas and I would support them ... except they have their heads in the sand when it comes to foreign policy!" These friends and neighbors are not blind.<br />
<br />
Libertarians who place "let live" on a pedestal in their minds above "live" have a vested interest in looking at belligerents in foreign countries and saying something like, "Let them fight it out. They are no threat to us." 99% of the time this is probably good policy. But what about the other 1%? Corollary-focused libertarians blind themselves to real world threats in order to remain loyal to their pedestal god of "let live."<br />
<br />
Rand Paul doesn't blind himself in this respect. Although he would surely honor the corollary "let live" in 99 out of 100 foreign policy circumstances, he is open-eyed enough to recognize real threats in the real world. It might be said that Rand is 99% a non-interventionist, yet he is willing to rationally weigh the clearly stated threats of the most ideological insane foreign aggressors ... and willing to take reasonable action accordingly. He doesn't say, "What are they to us? They haven't attacked us yet."<br />
<br />
To see this difference in a hypothetical illustration from history, imagine Rand Paul had been Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1938 instead of Neville Chamberlain. Rand would have recognized Hitler's intentions for what they were and taken appropriate action so that World War II might well have been averted, or if not prevented altogether at least its horrible effects of pain, suffering, death and destruction vastly reduced. On the other hand, if a head-in-the-sand libertarian had been Prime Minister, Hitler would have been allowed to build strength and take over weaker countries as he pleased. After all, "let <i>them</i> fight it out."<br />
<br />
De facto appeasement in the guise of honoring the corollary "let live" leads to horrible sabotage of the much more fundamental axiom "live."<br />
<br />
But then worsening the damage ... habits, once formed in mind in one area of thought tend to expand to other areas of thought. The habit of refusing to see real foreign threats can easily morph into a habit of refusing to see reality in domestic affairs.<br />
<br />
Recently there has been an argument circulating which goes something like this: "Rand Paul tries to win support of Republican establishment types! Therefore, using the finest guilt by association reasoning, he is one of them!" Or the lazy man's generic version: "All Republicans are alike!" Do you see the self-induced blindness required to make such arguments?<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be amazing if Rand Paul's calling on earth was far beyond winning a presidential nomination or influencing the the overall mind-set of the public? Wouldn't it be amazing if Rand Paul also had a secret mission: <b><i>help libertarians pull their heads out of the sand</i></b>.<br />
<br />
What if head-in-sand libertarians, sensing the value of Rand's efforts, decide they have had enough of their uncomfortable stiff-neck posture? We can imagine Rand lending them a hand to help them straighten into an upright bearing. We can envision them stretching happily with newly felt freedom, inhaling a deep breath of healthy fresh air, and then suddenly blurting out with a laugh as it dawns on them:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">"Out of the sand,</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span></b></i><i><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">ith Rand I stand!"</span></b></i></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(U.S. Congressman Abraham Lincoln -Whig, Illinois)</span></center>
<br />
<b><i>"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right—a right which, we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit."</i></b> --Abraham Lincoln (Speech in the U.S. House of Representatives January 12, 1848)
<br />
<br />
Steve Berry prefaces his intriguing and provocative novel, <b>The Lincoln Myth</b>, with the above actual words of Abraham Lincoln spoken when Lincoln was a young congressman as yet untainted politically. One villain in the novel is a modern U.S. Senator who has come to a conclusion: "Reformism did not work. Elections offered no real choices, and third-party alternatives had no chance to succeed. Revolt? Revolution? The federal government would crush either. The only logical way to effect a lasting change was secession." The novel makes compelling, truly irrefutable arguments justifying secession, which all liberty lovers should study well.<br />
<br />
Steve Berry is an internationally best-selling author whose novels radiate with long-buried historical information. He and his wife founded <a href="http://history-matters.org/">History Matters</a>, a foundation which raises money to help communities preserve historical heritage. His goal in life is to not let history die.<br />
<br />
Did the American Founding Fathers ever intend for secession to be illegal? In leading a war against secession, did Abraham Lincoln merely sell his soul to Northern political interests which made up his political base? Was the one and only Supreme Court decision upon which all subsequent secession cases have been decided, <i>Texas vs White,</i> nothing more than a post Civil War political expediency? Berry answers all these questions and more in his novel.<br />
<br />
In the story, the Senator leading the secessionist movement fervently believes in the words of the Declaration of Independence: <i>"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."</i> (quoted by Berry in Chapter 26)<br />
<br />
Chapter 9 of Berry's story begins with the President of the United States explaining: 'The American revolution was not a revolution at all. At no time was its goal the overthrow of the British government. None of its stated aims included conquering London and replacing the monarchy with a democracy. No. The American Revolution was a war of secession. The Declaration of Independence was a statement of secession. The United States of America was founded by secessionists."<br />
<br />
Very much like Abraham Lincoln, the fictional U.S. President in Berry's story totally understands the moral justification for secession, but for political reasons feels he must not let it happen. The secession-minded Senator and his followers must be stopped. But....<br />
<br />
Okay, no more about the story so it is not ruined for you.<br />
<br />
If you want to learn about secession, its justifications and logistics, while at the same time learning something of the true story of Abraham Lincoln (different than the myths taught in public schools), while also at the same time enjoying a potpourri of little-known historical facts, this eye-opening fictional adventure might be fun for you. <br />

<a href="http://www.commonsensegovernment.com/pix/tytler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.commonsensegovernment.com/pix/tytler.jpg" /></a></div>
<center>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">("Tytler Cycle" Alexander Fraser-Tytler 1747-1813)</span></center>
<br />
The cycle depicted above is probably somewhat inaccurate and misleading, but as certain as Newton's three laws of motion, cultures do move through political cycles. When liberty is generally taken for granted, deep in the womb of a culture the acceptance of dictatorship grows as an embryo. When dictatorship<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b><i> </i></b></span>is widely acceptable as the order of things, liberty in utero starts causing morning sickness. Political cycles can be resisted or flowed along with, but they cannot be stopped any more than Al Gore can stop the periodic climatic changes of the planet earth.
<br />
<br />
Insightful political observers can foresee changes in a culture's political climate just as astute investors can predict with decent approximation the cyclical highs and lows of stock and bond markets. At market bottoms there is a time when not a lot seems to be happening, yet underlying strength is being built which will form a base for a rally. Such has been the last 40 years of the liberty movement. The actual birth comes with a burst.<br />
<br />
As we head into 2015, apologists for dictatorship can no longer abort the liberty pregnancy. The labor pains are increasing in strength and occurring every minute now.<br />
<br />
How will the liberty birth show itself to the world? Will there be a brand new Liberty Party like there was in 1840, only this time to advocate the abolition of today's more disguised slavery? Will the Libertarian Party grow into a new maturity and quit sabotaging their cause? Will the Republican Party cleanse itself of sycophants and become a solid and dependable scaffolding for building liberty?<br />
<br />
Our guess is "none of the above." But it <i>will</i> happen. Liberty <i>will</i> be born again.<br />
<br />
There is one possibility we can watch for during 2015. Great political turning points happen when one unique man or woman says to himself or herself, "I feel the spirit! I cannot resist! I surrender my ego and let myself be used as an instrument!" Suddenly there are no more sterile intellectualized arguments, but fiery inspiring speeches which reach inside of people and awaken their spirit as never before. Suddenly there are no more "careful political considerations," but rather "I'm being moved by the spirit of liberty ... so I trust." Suddenly there is no more "what will happen to me?" or "what's in it for me," but only "this is what I must do, no matter what." Suddenly there is no more doubt or hesitation, only certainty and action.<br />
<br />
Such a true champion of liberty may or may not be guided to use a political party label, but will certainly not be bound by any party rules or party peer pressure. To the willfully blind observer, it might seem like such a champion stands alone. But inside himself or herself this champion will be far beyond standing alone, moved by the power of every human being's liberty impulse, feeling the deepest heart and soul desire of all of us radiating in one body.<br />
<br />
Such a champion will not burden listeners with gloomy grumbling about marijuana being illegal, or gay marriages being unrecognized, or the evils of corporations, or the brutality of police, or about interfering in the affairs of other countries. Instead, his or her talk will be luminous and uplifting, about the possibility of people achieving a fullness of life never before possible, a level of joy and peace only possible when government's "progressiveness" is ended.<br />
<br />
Our champion will speak of one and only one solution to the one issue: "Do you want abundant prosperity? Do you want goodwill among all? Do you want peace? Do you want to live in a world of radiant love and joy? Then get your politicians out of our way and let us be!"<br />
<br />
Newton's third law of motion is sometimes stated, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." The dictatorship tendency of Democrats has found a champion. Their attitude is: "It has become too tedious to wait for majority votes to disguise our dictatorship. We have a President who can rule by executive orders and memos!" Perhaps an equal and opposite reaction would be the rising of a champion of liberty such as has never been seen since Patrick Henry or Samuel Adams.<br />
<br />
The spirit of liberty always laughs and says, "Ye of little faith! Just wait and see!" Some of us feel we've waited long enough. Now in 2015 maybe we will see.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">("Wake Up America" painting by Jon McNaughton)</span></center>
<br />
We've all known friends, neighbors, relatives, or acquaintances who as if sleep-talking while dreaming rattle off a litany of seemingly good accomplishments by government, but never open their eyes to the chains of slavery we are being wrapped in by political solutions. How can we wake up these dear people?<br />
<br />
Most of the subjugation is caused by liberal-progressive programs. Liberal-progressives mean well. Their aspirations inevitably sound appealing and are seen by many people as worthy objectives. Their political success is always in proportion to the number of voters who see their intentions as worthy, and the strength of voters' feelings about their aims. Since liberal-progressive end goals are so attractive to most people, fighting their schemes makes liberty lovers look "mean spirited," or at best "obstructionist."<br />
<br />
If that wasn't bad enough, liberty advocates have often focused on one or another of the seemingly endless number of liberal-progressive programs and tried to fight it on its merits. Fighting individual liberal-progressive projects is like trying to defeat a many-headed hydra. Cut off one, and two more (or ten more) grow. The number of schemes liberal-progressives can come up with is infinite. And because they invent new causes far faster than anyone can keep up with, they will always be ahead of liberty defenders who would like to slow them down.<br />
<br />
It would seem that trying to defend against liberal-progressives is a losing battle. But it need not be. There is a wake-up-call way to answer your friends and neighbors who support liberal-progressive causes.<br />
<br />
In the old way of arguing politics we would announce that we disagree, and then attempt to argue our case. In other words, we would set ourselves up as adversaries. The adversarial relationship is felt by the other as resistance. Resistance invites the liberal-progressive supporter to put up defenses and resist back. Due to his defenses, even if our arguments are heard by his ears they do not settle into his mind. Not only do our arguments fail to reach inside him, but his need to reflect resistance back to us only serves to reinforce his inner mindset.<br />
<br />
There is a better way. Since we want to reach him, his defenses must first be forestalled. This is accomplished by agreeing with him at first. <i><span style="color: #b45f06;">"I agree with the result you would like to achieve. It would be good if your dream came to pass."</span> </i>In most situations, our agreement will be easy because the causes of liberal-progressives are usually worthy. In some cases, our agreement will feel more like "walking for a moment in the other's shoes" in order to neutralize his defenses.<br />
<br />
With defenses down, he is in rapport with us and the next part of our answer will reach him. But the next part of our answer will also shock him and wake him up: <i><span style="color: #b45f06;">"But it's very nasty of you to try to reach your goal by dictatorship."</span></i><br />
<br />
This will not change the Karl Marx marionettes who believe their ends justify their means. These are the ones who justify dictatorship by blocking out of their minds the nonsensical nature of their self-contradictory announcements: "It's dictatorship by the people." "It's dictatorship for everyone's good."<br />
<br />
But the vast majority of people who support liberal-progressive causes simply have never given thought to the deleterious evil of the dictatorship of liberal-progressive programs.<br />
<br />
Liberal-progressives constantly throw in our face all the "good" their dictatorship has accomplished. For example, the below quote from a liberal television series:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKmN7tU5ovPcHKqvK9je_lCULySzZRT5dJr6W5vo_maZ0GYo_Mk5o0pAttkLo2dVi5eobZpRRakh1kS2EY2tZa0tzpxF58pAvw2Q8lE0rhKXRfYxVGElvwXbYJLtPi6ovJ4mem5isV6U/s1600/moveon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKmN7tU5ovPcHKqvK9je_lCULySzZRT5dJr6W5vo_maZ0GYo_Mk5o0pAttkLo2dVi5eobZpRRakh1kS2EY2tZa0tzpxF58pAvw2Q8lE0rhKXRfYxVGElvwXbYJLtPi6ovJ4mem5isV6U/s200/moveon.jpg" /></a></div>
Here's the way liberty lovers must answer in principle:<br />
<br />
"The Civil Rights Act has opened many doors for people. A wonderful cause, increasing possibilities, providing opportunities! But why did you feel the need to sell your soul to the devil by becoming a dictator? Wouldn't there have been a better way?"<br />
<br />
"Social Security is a marvelous program with sometimes lifesaving results. Too bad you couldn't have worked out voluntary implementation. You've destroyed your honor by using dictatorship."<br />
<br />
"Medicare is really helping many people, which is a great outcome. It's just unfortunate you have become no better than a highway robber by funding it through dictatorship."<br />
<br />
"Clean air is so healthy for people! Clean air is a worthwhile achievement to rejoice about. But now you've sabotaged your own integrity by becoming a dictator. Wouldn't there have been a moral way to achieve the same goal?"<br />
<br />
Maybe the wording of these examples isn't the best, but there are many, many ways to word an answer which first disarms the defenses of liberal-progressive supporters and then points out how depraved they have made themselves with their dictatorship. In fact, if we held a contest for the most powerfully effective wording, we could probably create some truly eye-opening phrases.<br />
<br />
But you get the idea. First <i>agree.</i>... then <i>shake them awake</i>.<br />

<span style="font-size: 120%;"><em><strong>"I vote for peace and joy and love in my society!"</strong></em></span></center>
<br />
Once upon a time in storybook land there was a population ruled by leaders of two political parties. The people of this fictional society were slaves, but they rarely sensed they were slaves because the leaders of the two political parties were chosen by election. Occasionally someone felt like a slave, but was immediately told, "You can't be a slave because a slave doesn't have an opportunity to choose his master. So just be a good citizen and vote."<br />
<br />
Once accustomed to voting, most "good citizens" accepted the master-slave atmosphere and used their voting in the hopes of being masters rather than slaves.<br />
<br />
Beneath all the hyped surface justifications about good citizenship people sensed only two bottom-line reasons for voting: they either wanted to use majority rule to impose their values and schemes on others, or they hoped a majority of voters would side with them in defending themselves against those who would force on them values and schemes they would not have chosen for themselves. In reality, both motives were present at the same time in most voters. Most wanted to be dictators in some ways, and in other ways they wanted to defend themselves from the dictatorship of other voters.<br />
<br />
A few saw the system as simply an insane electoral battle for power and made the choice to forgo voting altogether so they could feel the ego-satisfaction of moral smugness and the partial temporary peace of not being a combat participant. Another few saw voting as solely for self-defense, not wishing to dictate to others in any way, and made the choice to support the least dictatorial of the two ruling parties, seeing their choice as the greatest good between the only two logical alternative outcomes, the greatest good realistically available. These non-voters and totally defensive voters still found it very hard to experience deep and long-lasting peace, because they were very acutely aware that all around them was a would-be dictators' war zone, a battlefield of competing slave masters.<br />
<br />
In this society at election time the focus of most voting men and women was pulled away from their natural inclination to live and let live, away from their natural feeling of brotherhood, replacing natural good will with the temptation to believe it's alright to rule over others through elected representatives. The practice of voting in elections was considered justification for being blind to the reality of dictatorship and slavery behind the disguise.<br />
<br />
During election season, brothers often found themselves pitted against brothers, mothers against daughters, husbands against wives, neighbors against neighbors. This rarely broke out into a bloody shooting war, because people were told to be "civil," but a civil war it was. Very few recognized consciously that a war by any other name, such as "election," was still a war. Some relished the battle, but even these (along with everyone else) could not escape feeling on a deeper level the ugly climate of war.<br />
<br />
Elections often had the effect of bringing out the worse in people. It was not uncommon for men and women to lie, cheat, steal and destroy the property of others at election time. Human beings became monsters.<br />
<br />
In this society at election time very few people stayed totally at peace, totally in love, and totally in joy. People who couldn't care less about elections found it hard to not be frustrated with all the mailings, phone calls, billboards, television commercials and other forms of electioneering pushed into their lives. Some people who valued facts and logic even became outright furious at all the demagoguery. Election winners experienced merely short-lived surface joy, always in their honest moments too well aware that their victory was only for a while and quite fragile.<br />
<br />
Another strange feature of this society: all this misery which was the result of elections was never reported by their media.<br />
<br />
Good thing this was only a storybook society, wouldn't you say?<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: 120%;"><em><strong>"I WILL train myself ... and I WILL preserve freedom! "</strong></em></span></center>
<br />
From Lesson 5: "The day is past for lying, cheating, stealing political candidates and petulant, whining, fit-throwing political activists. These habits will still be seen in some circles, especially among government worshipers as they continue to lose control, but they no longer have much effect on the voting public looking for solutions which 'ring true' within themselves."
<br /><br />
From Lesson 12: "Motivated by fear, men and women set up governments because they think they need protection or help. The more a man is immersed in limitation-thinking the more fearful he will be and the more government he will call for. As Ayn Rand so clearly pointed out, one who feels hopelessly terrorized will call for very expansive and expensive government ... and be willing to terrorize others to pay for it."<br /><br />
From Lesson 13: "With trust there is nothing I cannot achieve, including a near 'miraculous' change in the way people think politically. Without trust I cannot even change my own mind."<br /><br />
From Lesson 19: "The fact that love attracts people is of primary importance to me in achieving my political goals. In a democratic political realm I could have all the most wonderful intellectualized premises and conclusions anybody ever came up with, but if people don't sense that I am loving then I am not going to be supported by vast numbers of people and my ideas are going to be sold short."<br /><br />
From Lesson 20: "None of us following our inner spiritual nature would steal, or murder, or enslave others. Yet we allow governments to commit these acts because we have been convinced by split minds that there is a difference between our own good and society's good as a whole. In the 180 degree backward thinking of today's world, it is not always easy to see that government interference in people's lives beyond the very basic laws of existence is actually based on fear and hatred of man's free spirit." (See <a href="http://libertydiscourses.blogspot.com/2007/11/spiritual-basis-of-liberty.html">The Spiritual Foundation of Liberty</a>)<br /><br />
From Lesson 25: "There is no one more inspiring than a man who is free of pain, fear, and guilt. Such a man was Ayn Rand's ideal, so it's no wonder that dwelling on her fictional heroes is such an uplifting experience. No one teaches freedom more effectively than one who lives free of pain, fear, and guilt."<br /><br />
From Lesson 26: "Even though mankind has experienced extreme growing pains, the overall consciousness of mankind is evolving to higher levels. Peace is now more than ever valued over war, and people are beginning to see more clearly than ever that governments or ruling elites are the cause of mankind's ills, and cannot be a solution. Such clear valuing and clear seeing can only lead to greater good than ever."<br /><br />

<span style="font-size: 120%;"><em><strong>"When I'm serving liberty I'm at my best!"</strong></em></span></center>
<br />
There is a power at work for liberty which is far greater than I imagine. Call it the power of an idea whose time has come. Call it the deepest desire of every human heart and soul. Call it angels at work. It doesn't matter what one calls it. Liberty always rises again ... stronger than ever.<br />
<br />
Trying to contain liberty is like trying to contain love. Close it down temporarily in one area and it erupts in another area. Close it off as much as possible in all areas and it still finds a way to burst forth because not experiencing it is too painful. Our true nature is love. Our true nature is liberty. <br />
<br />
If liberty cannot be held back forever, then in theory I wouldn't have to work for liberty, fight for liberty, or defend liberty. I literally would need do nothing but wait and see what happens. <br />
<br />
If this is true, why do some join the Libertarian Party or the Republican Liberty Caucus? Why do some work toward extracting themselves from bureaucratic control over their lives and establishing greater personal sovereignty? Why do some put all their heart and soul into selling and promoting the works of Ayn Rand? <br />
<br />
The answer has to do with a spiritual feeling. I might act in some way to further liberty (even though liberty is destined to prevail without my efforts) because <b><i>I'm</i></b> <strong><em>feeling my best</em></strong> when I'm serving liberty. Serving liberty feels really, really wonderful and <b><i>right</i></b> inside myself. My true nature is freedom and my inner being loves when I am expressing who I am. No matter in what exact way I feel guided to serve liberty ... it is deeply soul-satisfying service.<br />
<br />
Those who are serving the opposite of liberty: government expansion, government involvement, and government interference, have sold out their souls and are experiencing misery deep inside whether they would ever admit it or not.<br />
<br />
Such sell-outs, who have no understanding as to why they are feeling so unfulfilled, call for more of the same ... more government expansion, more government involvement, more government interference ... like asking the torturer to inflict more pain in the hopes of relieving pain. <br />
<br />
There is no such thing as a <i><b>truly</b></i> happy government worshiper or a <i><b>deeply thoroughly</b></i> happy government-advocating liberal-progressive. <br />
<br />
But <strong><em>my</em></strong> soul is intact and <i><b>my</b></i> happiness glows like the sun <strong><em>because</em></strong> I love liberty and choose to serve liberty. <br />
<br />
What fun it is to watch liberty's progress! What exquisite pleasure I feel serving my spirit, which is free! What absolute joy I experience as I declare many times a day:<br />
<br />
<strong><em>"Liberty I love you with all my heart and soul! I live only to serve you! Serving you I am serving myself and everyone! Serving you I am at my very best!"</em></strong> <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: 120%;"><em><strong>"If I'm allowing my ego to blind me, I cannot be successful!"</strong></em></span></center>
<br />
A course in political miracles can contain all the lessons in the world for developing oneself into a successful guardian of political liberty, yet will still be an incomplete course if it doesn't mention ways one can sabotage the achievement of one's political ideals, wouldn't you say?<br />
<br />
We all understand a flawed philosophy automatically contains the seeds of its own sabotage, which is why liberal-progressives with all their abstract intellectual contrivances cannot prevail in the long run. Yet for so many years liberal-progressives have ruled. Why? Because they have pursued their goals with laser-like aim devoid of self-damaging strategies, tactics, and attitudes.<br />
<br />
The opposite is true of most would-be liberty guardians.<br />
<br />
Liberty political philosophy is free of man-made intellectual contraptions. <i>"In a moral, just, and reasonable society, men and women are governed by natural laws which must be honored if the society is to serve human life in its full promise. Natural laws do not violate one person's rights (wronging one person) for the good of many. In nature, what is right for any one individual is right for a society of individuals, and what is wrong for any one individual is wrong for a society of individuals. With natural law governance no one is sacrificed. Natural law treats every one equally."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Therefore, completely unlike liberal-progressives, those who love liberty renounce <i>forced</i> solutions. <i>"A guardian of liberty is one who understands that forcing solutions on people by legislation, judicial fiat or majority rule is injustice ... degrading and unfair; but allowing people free choice among solutions which encroach on no one allows the learning of responsibility and the development of self-esteem."</i><br />
<br />
With such a non-harmful life-serving political philosophy, liberty proponents should have celebrated huge success many, many years ago. Why has their progress been so pitiful? Could it be that the strategies, tactics, and attitudes of would-be liberty guardians have been like arrows flying off and falling everywhere but on target, perhaps even damaging themselves and their cause?<br />
<br />
The Greek word hamartia (ἁμαρτία) is usually translated as "sin" in the New Testament. In Classical Greek, it is an archery term meaning "to miss the mark" or "to miss the target." If liberty guardians have for years been missing the mark politically, what are their deadliest sins in this context?<br />
<br />
The farthest off-target aim which is made by those who hope to produce liberty is believing they need to make converts. Deep down inside, <i>every</i> human being feels the natural rightness of liberty, and that includes liberal-progressives who are only temporarily trapped in their addiction to dictatorship, living in denial like alcoholics but not totally beyond healing. Liberty guardians do not need converts. They need only help people get in touch with their innermost natural feelings. How is such a true aim accomplished? Not by creating a sense of alienation, but by fostering a sense of rapport; not by thinking "you are against us," but by holding in mind the truth "we are all in this together."<br />
<br />
If you are feeling the true inner joy of liberty and you would like another person to feel what you are feeling, you do not try to prove to the other person that you are different (trying to prove to yourself that you are "not like them"). You do not say to another: "I'm this, but you are that." Rather, you think in your mind, "Here, join me in feeling this joy," and you happily let that person join in what you are feeling.<br />
<br />
If you are deeply certain of the natural rightness of liberty and you want another person to also know that same deep certainty, you do not say in your thoughts: "I'm right! And you are wrong!" Instead, you let that person feel you. You let down your barriers and wordlessly convey: "Here, feel my certainty and the peace it engenders."<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing the exquisite love of life which liberty allows one to experience and you wish another person could feel such sweet natural love, you do not attack that person. You extend the love and let that person feel your love, so they will crave joining with you in spirit.<br />
<br />
In order for people to be on the same page with you, you first have to allow them to be "with you." Separating yourself, flaunting arrogance, attacking ... all are arrows which do damage to your own purpose.<br />
<br />
What about constantly allowing discussions to degenerate into possible details of pie-in-the-sky Utopian futures? Does such a tactic alienate people or aid them in joining with you in a feeling of rapport? Isn't the here and now where others are likely to be focused? And doesn't their joining with you and feeling what you are feeling occur only here and now?<br />
<br />
Another widely off-target arrow is the strategy of voicing seemingly head-in-the-sand foreign policy announcements, allowing others to form the impression that you could care less about the suffering of people elsewhere in the world because your sacred principle of avoiding foreign entanglements trumps any sympathy for people living in terror and horror. Could it be that first expressing sincere and deep compassion for the sufferers in other countries will help people join with you on a feeling level, and therefore be receptive to any liberty-promoting alternative solutions which you may then voice?<br />
<br />
Then there is the insufferable arrogance of "I will never support the lesser of two evils," totally avoiding two glaring facts of existence. (Fact 1) Nobody is perfect. (Oh, but you and your guys are perfect enough to deserve support. Yet God forbid anyone else ever deserving support.) (Fact 2) The lesser of two evils is logically the greater good of the two possible alternatives being compared. Now there's a policy ... choosing to see evil while blinding oneself to seeing good! Such a strategy keeps your ego very satisfied. And of course your ego doesn't want you noticing that <i>it</i> is out to destroy you ... and that supporting your ego is supporting the greatest evil of all.<br />
<br />
In all these respects, to see clearly, or to blind oneself: that is the question. Will would-be guardians of liberty be like Hamlet, lamenting the slings and arrows of "outrageous fortune" which are actually the misdirected arrows of their own egos? Or will they take control of their own destiny, quit looking through the ego's eyes ... and make their mark?<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: 120%;"></span><br />
<center>
<span style="font-size: 120%;"><em><strong>"I join Ayn Rand, educating spiritually!"</strong></em></span></center>
<br />
Government worshipers are in control of most universities, virtually every public school system, and almost every major media market. The general public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe that if there is a problem, or the illusion of a problem, government solutions are the answer ... a new government program, a new government bureaucracy, more power to government. <br />
<br />
Because almost all avenues of education and information have been under the control of government worshipers, the vast majority of people are stuck in thinking habits which will never for long periods of time serve liberty. <br />
<br />
Because people's underlying thinking habits will rise to the surface again and again, any liberty-oriented political victory can only be short-lived ... unless people's underlying way of thinking is changed. <br />
<br />
As much as we might hate to admit it, thorough re-education of the public <strong><em>cannot not </em></strong>be a number one priority for those who deeply feel the natural impulse to political liberty. <br />
<br />
The question is: what to teach? <br />
<br />
The answer is given by Ayn Rand. It's not about politics or economics. It's about mankind's life-enhancing spirit vs. mankind's death-serving ego. It's about Ellsworth Toohey's ego trying to utterly destroy Howard Roark's creative spirit. It's about James Taggart's ego trying to belittle as "old-fashioned" his sister's innocent and wondering spirit. It's about Lillian Reardon's ego trying to twist the laws of nature 180 degrees and somehow render immoral Hank Reardon's benevolent and heroic spirit. <br />
<br />
It's about life vs. death. Religious people might allegorically identify the issue as God vs. Satan or the Christ vs. the Devil. But there is no need to be allegorical. Mankind <i>does</i> have a heroic spirit and egos <i>are</i> determined to diminish this spirit and destroy it altogether if possible ... whether these egos manifest as government henchmen, union henchmen, corporate henchmen, media henchmen or just plain thugs. <br />
<br />
Using intellectual articles or philosophical treatises, can I hope to educate the vast majority of people to the truth of the real battle going on? Only in my dreams! <br />
<br />
Can I expose ego destroying spirit as Ayn Rand did with novels, plays, and screenplays made into movies? Now I'm being realistic! <br />
<br />
Do I need to make myself into a novelist or playwright? Not unless this is my truest heart's desire and guidance of my own spirit. Ayn Rand has already done sufficient work for starters. I can create huge progress for liberty in the world, lighten and enlighten earth existence, merely by selling and promoting the work Ayn Rand has already done. <br />
<br />
Ayn Rand's philosophy is nowhere near 100% correct. Her perception is severely limited and when she philosophizes she sometimes gets herself trapped in the same kinds of cobwebs spun by all intellectuals. My purpose is not to create a million and one robotic Objectivists who lock step to the same tune and end up being stumbling blocks to the cause of true freedom by alienating people. <br />
<br />
It is not Ayn Rand's philosophizing that makes her work valuable to my cause but her <i>sense of life</i> and <i>spiritual seeing</i>. My purpose is to sell her sense of life and her vivid understanding that the forces opposing the spirit of mankind are the forces of death itself. <br />
<br />
What if I gave myself an assignment to brainstorm 101 fresh ideas for selling Ayn Rand's work, especially her greatest novels, <strong><em>The Fountainhead</em></strong> and <strong><em>Atlas Shrugged?</em></strong> My guess is that at least one of the schemes which pops into my mind is going to seem to me like it would be a really fun endeavor which would have me choosing great joy.<br />
<br />
As I go forth teaching to the world the fullness of life as opposed to the sense of death taught by government worshipers, I allow myself to feel immense gratitude that I do not have to be like the mythical Atlas, weighed down by a heavily pressing world. Instead, I can think of the world as being like a beach ball. It is light and fun. I throw it around, shape it, play tag with it, and use it to chidingly bounce off the heads of a few liberals and conservatives, maybe knocking loose some old death-serving conceptions ... <strong><em>with Ayn Rand's help</em></strong>.<br />
