A daily look at the geopolitical situation from a spiritual point of view. - We are more than our bodies 😇

[Pinning this post on both of my accounts for a reason. It is maybe the most important piece I have ever written.]

To President Trump:

I would so much enjoy seeing you make a decision that serves your peace efforts more than anything else.

This is how it could work:

Get together with the most trustworthy Rabbis and discuss Jewish scripture with them.

Specifically discuss the old prophet Isaiah, who spoke at a time when prophets still were scrutinized for the accuracy of their predictions.

In chapter 2:4 he says: "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Halt for a moment and repeat: He shall judge among the nations.

Remember that prophets had to be right - the Torah put a prophet’s life on the line if he spoke in God’s name what God had not spoken. So let's assume Isaiah was right and this is going to happen.

Now the question is: on which side will the USA end up under your leadership? The condemned, or the righteous?

Try to imagine this:

You get the arms industry to a conference table and convince them to start the process of converting their production to civil products gradually, say 5% or 10% per year.

Now where you have added @elonmusk to your new military planning team, there is a realistic chance that this can be done in an efficient way.

He has not only the competence to lead a major transformation, most importantly he also has visionary power and can precisely tell you which steps to do in which sequence.

Then you announce that the USA has made a U-turn. Then you denuclearize in tandem with Russia and the other nuclear countries.

The Bible promises it. Somebody at some point in the future will do it. Will it be you, President Trump?

Hours after an American envoy called the Russian president a humanitarian in St Petersburg, missiles hit Kyiv.

Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg.

Witkoff described Putin as a humanitarian. Putin said he agrees in principle to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and the United States. No date was set.

Overnight Russian drones and ballistic missiles struck twelve Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv. At least two people were killed and twenty-two wounded in the capital. Ukrainian forces launched hundreds of drones toward Moscow and other Russian cities.

Zelensky said the strikes covered twelve regions. Russia said it intercepted more than eight hundred drones.

The man who praised the humanitarian and the person who woke to the missile sit in the same night.

Whether both stay inside the life you count as yours does not depend on which side claims the next interception.

--- Historical Context ---

Lay the St Petersburg words next to the long night in Minsk in 2015, and the older pattern returns.

On 11-12 February 2015 Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande met for sixteen hours in Minsk.

They agreed on a package of measures that included a ceasefire starting 15 February, withdrawal of heavy weapons, and a security zone. The contact group signed it. Poroshenko called the talks very difficult.

Putin welcomed the deal. The ceasefire was broken within days. Fighting continued around Debaltseve.

Earlier, in September 2014, a first Minsk protocol had been signed after heavy Ukrainian losses. It too was broken. The leaders who signed the papers and the soldiers who kept firing were still alive when the next round of shelling began.

Witkoff is arguing that the praise and the agreement in principle open a path. Zelensky is reporting the dead and wounded from the same night. The next talk will test which sentence the guns follow.

--- Spiritual Perspective ---

Place the humanitarian label next to the apartment that lost its roof in Kyiv.

The Law of One material says service to others and service to self are the two polarities.

It names no envoy. It names the choice that decides whether the person under the missile remains inside the same count as the person who accepted the praise.

Soul here is that choice. The meeting can be real. The strike can be real. Which names stay inside the life you count as yours when the next round is launched?

North Korea fires missiles after South Korea's hypersonic test.

On Monday 12 October South Korea's Joint Chiefs detected several ballistic missiles launched from the Pyongyang area toward the East Sea at about 9:20 a.m.

At least one flew more than 900 km. Japan reported at least two, landing outside its exclusive economic zone.

Seoul called the launches a show of force after President Lee Jae Myung watched South Korea's first test of a domestically built hypersonic glide vehicle four days earlier.

North Korea's last test was on 3 October, which it described as a hypersonic intermediate-range missile overseen by Kim Jong Un.

This is the fourth launch event in a month.

--- Historical Context ---

Step back to the same peninsula and the same two capitals.

On 3 October Kim Jong Un supervised what North Korean state media called a firing drill of an intermediate-range strategic missile belonging to its hypersonic system.

His sister Kim Yo Jong later said the weapon could change its flight path at low altitude. South Korea and Japan tracked a shorter distance than Pyongyang claimed. Four days after Seoul's public hypersonic test, the 12 October launches followed.

The pattern is not new. North Korea has used missile tests for years as a visible answer whenever the South or the United States displays a new capability.

The argument on one side is that a credible nuclear-capable arsenal is the only way a small state stays un-invaded.

The argument on the other side is that each test raises the chance of miscalculation along a border that already saw three South Korean soldiers injured by mines last month.

--- Spiritual Perspective ---

Notice how the launch itself is only the outer motion of two group minds that have been locked in the same argument for decades.

Ra described karma as inertia: actions once set in motion continue until a higher principle, such as forgiveness or a change of choice, brings them to a stop.

The peninsula carries the collective inertia of the 1950-53 war, the armistice that never became a peace, and every later decision to answer strength with more strength.

Each side can name real fears. Neither side has yet chosen the brake.

You do not have to decide which capital is right. You can simply watch the size of the attention horizon that treats a short-range or intermediate-range test as the whole of the story, and ask what larger field of consciousness would have to open before either side could stop answering the last launch with the next one.

@Rusia_HD He has only less than a week.

A book presentation related to today's posts:

The Impersonal Life
Joseph S. Benner (first published anonymously in 1914; later editions by DeVorss, Penguin and others; freely available as PDF)

** Summary **

The book is a direct transmission written in the first person as the voice of the impersonal consciousness (the I AM) speaking from within.

It presents free will as the choice to align with or resist that presence.

Care, justice, and the inclusion of others are treated as expressions of the impersonal life rather than as personal preferences. Physical events are the result of focused inner choices.

The text was published under the pen name “Anonymous” and has remained in circulation for more than a century.

** Evaluation **

The origin is unusual: a 1914 anonymous transmission that treats the reader as already containing the impersonal consciousness rather than as someone who must acquire it.

It is short, available at no cost as a PDF, and easy to sample. The ideas stay concrete enough to set beside named events without requiring the reader to accept a full metaphysical system first.

** Selected passages **

“I AM the Tree of Life within you. My Life will and must push forth, but It will do it by gradual and steady growth.”

“You who have begun to realize I AM within, but have not yet learned to commune with Me, listen and learn now.”

“The impersonal life is a life aware of the idea that one’s identity is inseparable from the light of God and that through this acknowledgment one can experience the peace that emanates from all that is God’s creation.”

** Connection to today **

The three posts today show free will operating inside the count of who is included.

In Abuja a Ugandan woman who flew in on 5 October tested positive for Bundibugyo virus on 19 October; 44 contacts, mostly healthcare workers, have been identified while Congo has already recorded about 9,500 cases and more than 4,600 deaths.

In France curfews are in force from Paris to Marseille and troops will join police for Saturday’s protests; the marches that began over school buildings have become the worst unrest in years, with more than 2,300 arrests.

In India more than 130 million names have been removed from the voter rolls under the Special Intensive Revision; protests in Delhi demand that the election chief step down while the Supreme Court has issued notices.

The Impersonal Life’s statement that free will is the choice to align with or resist the impersonal presence, and that care and justice are expressions of that presence, names the same mechanism.

The patient in Abuja, the student under the curfew, and the migrant whose name vanished are the points where the count is still open.

@PeynsaertBill I certainly do

@DailyMail Texas blue? That would be fun to watch 😁

@SamaHoole I have no gallbladder, and I eat so much fat that my partner cannot watch it 🤪

I still can reach a point where I get a queasy feeling, but only when I really overdo it.

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@bradlander @rabbijilljacobs @truahrabbis Hope you can win your election and move things 🙏🏼

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@ShanonLee_AF That was a perfectly timed banger!

He is such a sincere, open and brillant person. A real human being, zero facade.

Too good to be burned to ashes in the president's red hot chair.

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

More than 130 million names have been taken off India's voter rolls. Protests in Delhi demand the election chief step down. The revision that was meant to clean the list has become a fight over who gets to vote.

The Special Intensive Revision, or SIR, has removed more than 130 million names from India's electoral rolls since it began. That is more than the population of Japan.

Opposition parties and the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party say the process has disenfranchised legitimate voters, especially migrants and minorities.

Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has overseen the exercise. Two other election commissioners objected on record to some of the decisions.

Protests in Delhi and other cities have drawn thousands. Police have detained organisers and closed metro stations. The Supreme Court has issued notices to the government and the Election Commission.

Kumar's office says the revision is removing duplicates, the deceased and fraudulent entries. Critics call it a tool that shrinks the list before the next election.

An EU citizen living in India notes that birth certificate, citizenship proof and residence registration have long been mandatory in the EU; India is now making the same rules nationwide and digital.

The migrant worker whose name vanished and the official who signed the revision sit in the same country. Whether both are inside the life you count as yours does not depend on which list is final.

--- Historical Context ---

Hold the missing names next to the Emergency of 1975, and the older argument returns.

On 25 June 1975 Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency after a court found her 1971 election invalid. Opposition leaders were arrested. Press censorship was imposed. Elections were postponed.

Gandhi argued that the state needed order to protect itself from chaos. The opposition argued that the emergency was a way to keep power after a court defeat.

When elections were finally held in 1977, Gandhi's Congress party lost. The emergency ended. The persons who signed the proclamation and the persons who sat in jail were still alive when the votes were counted.

Neither sentence closed the gap between the list that existed and the list that was used.

Today, Kumar is arguing that the revision protects the integrity of the vote. The protesters are arguing that the missing names are real voters. The next election will test which argument the count accepts.

--- Spiritual Perspective ---

Set the deleted names next to the persons still marching in Delhi.

The Bhagavad Gita tells Arjuna that he has the right to the action, not to the fruit of the action.

It names no voter roll. It names the duty that stays even when the result is uncertain.

The soul in that teaching is the part that decides whether the person whose name is missing is still inside the same count.

Karma here is the later return of a list that left persons outside it.

The revision can be real. The march can be real. Which names stay inside the life you count as yours when the next ballot is printed?

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@Henryf1w Yes. If Elon sees the platform crumble, he will fix it quickly.

I do expect a drop in quality, but he has seen worse.

If you survive the shock of seeing your rocket explode, a social media network's stumbling won't rob your sleep.

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@EdwardTWinz @grok is that screenshot real?

Looking unbelievable to me.

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@MarioNawfal Brave journalists.

I would not want to breathe that air.

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@clashreport No, Sir.

They have different layers of people, just like Israel (and every other country in the world).

I am just wondering about the percentages 🙄

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@MarioNawfal He held that ballot up against a collage of opponent portraits. Cheap campaign post.

Then an angel transformed the Likud ballot into a mirror, and he saw the reflection of his true nature.

Do you think that he fainted when seeing his real face?

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

@oday_jabour I don't understand how you could not leave.

I thought Israel wants all of you out as fast as possible??

[The Spiritual Angle @SpiritsView]

Curfews are in force from Paris to Marseille. Troops will join police for Saturday's protests. The marches that began over school buildings have become the worst unrest in years.

On Saturday 17 October nationwide marches against the cost of living and underfunded schools turned into riots in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and other cities.

Police made more than 2,300 arrests. Nearly 1,000 officers were injured. Shops and public buildings were looted or set on fire. One protester died of a cardiac arrest in Paris.

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez offered to resign after saying police had lost control in some cities. President Emmanuel Macron refused the resignation.

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu ordered targeted curfews, some limited to minors, and said troops would reinforce police for further protests called for Saturday 24 October.

The student union UNEF has pledged to maintain pressure. Macron has criticised foreign comments that blamed the unrest on migrants.

The shops that were looted and the students who marched for better classrooms sit in the same week.

Whether the anger that filled both is inside the life you count as yours does not wait for the next Saturday.

--- Historical Context ---

Watch the curfew zones next to the streets of May 1968, and the old argument returns.

In May 1968 student protests began at the Nanterre campus of the University of Paris over housing rules that kept men and women apart. The demonstrations spread to the Latin Quarter and then to factories.

By late May more than 10 million workers were on strike. President Charles de Gaulle left Paris briefly for a military base in Germany, fearing the army might be needed. He returned and called elections. The strikes ended. The Fifth Republic survived.

The students had argued that the university and the state no longer matched the lives people lived. The government argued that order had to be restored before any reform could be discussed. Neither sentence closed the gap that brought people into the streets.

Lecornu is arguing that curfews and troops will restore order. The students are arguing that the schools and the cost of living have not been addressed. The Saturday march is the next test of which argument holds the street.

--- Spiritual Perspective ---

Place the burned shops next to the classrooms that started the marches.

The Quran, in the women chapter, tells you to stand for justice even against yourselves.

It names no curfew. It names the choice that keeps the person under the tear gas and the person who ordered the troop deployment inside the same frame. An attention horizon wide enough holds both.

Spirit here is that frame. The curfew can be real. The classroom can be real.

Which persons stay inside the life you count as yours when the next Saturday arrives?
