The problem is not that people can't understand, and that is regardless of their skin color; the problem is that the political system hide behind double talk and doublespeak.
The real kicker is, should I, or anyone, regardless of skin color, gender, of spiritual discipline, love America and be passive about America's evils? If so, why aren't the Republicans passive towards the Democrats, or the Democrats passive towards the Republicans?
If a person love people, any people, wouldn't it be more patriotic to push for Truth and Righteousness in every facet of society?
Why I Joined the Army
I joined the Army for personal reasons. It was to get money for college education, that is what was on my mind.
But, I soon realized there was a higher power involved in my joining the Army.
I knew the reasons behind America's involvement in the Vietnam war. My last two years of high school was full
of bad dreams about that war, dreams of climbing out my mother's bedroom window and landing in Canada to escape
going to war.
I was brought up to be a conscientious objector, for spiritual reasons as well as knowing the history
behind what America has done to the Africans in America (Civil War, and other wars) and to the Native Americans who helped her
fight her wars, then renege on the promises made to them/us. So, I did not go into the Army and combat blind to
the reality of what I was getting into.
There was a higher spiritual power directing my path. There were things which I needed to experience and learn,
which could not have been learnt any other way. I also knew that I was protected by this higher power, therefore,
I was not afraid in Vietnam. While I was there, I saw the impact which I made on other soldiers and on some of
the Vietnamese people - it was a two-way cultural exchange.
Everywhere that I have gone, the higher power has placed someone with me who could mentor me and help me walk
the right path. It has mostly been 33rd and a third degree Masons. Different ones before I joined the Army. One
in Vietnam, and several after returning to the States.
Being a first born son in a Hebrew/Jewish family, I have a higher duty than simply being an American patriot. There
is also the higher calling of my Native American ancestry, which is also connected with the/my Crypto Judaic heritage
that drives me towards a higher purpose than simply voting in the political system. It is all about righting the wrongs
and providing a path for people to reconnect with the universal forces of the cosmos.
Therefore, I have to learn, by necessity, everything I can, about everything that I can, then see their connectedness
(the fact of being and feeling socially, emotionally, spiritually, and professionally linked), and making the best of it,
for myself and for all people.
Those things use to seem complicated to me when I was younger, now, it is simply what it is, and I take it in stride.
A good friend of mine said to me; "When you decided to join the Army and piloted a helicopter in a war zone your
motives weren’t questioned. You did your thing and in the eyes of many Americans you were and are a Patriot. You
performed a duty that likely saved the lives of many and did so at the behest of your country. You are a Patriot dude !.
Simple as that. My hat is off to you as a fellow Patriot even though we might have differing concepts of the term."
I would love to see more patriots fighting for world peace. Not the type of fighting that militaries do, but the fighting
with words and actions that promote harmony between/within humanity! There are so many "issues" involved that it would literally
take writing a book in order to cover all of the truly complicated matters. While one can really only deal with one issue at a
time, here is an important issue to start with - the idea of what it means to be 'Black". Until all people, globally, come to
understand that the term 'black' is just as negative as the 'N' word, there will be little to no chance of bringing about
world peace.
Conclusion
In light of the up-coming presidential election 2024 in America, there is much talk about patriotism. I wrote the above because
on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, voters in each state and the District of Columbia will choose electors to the Electoral College.
Those electors will then elect a president and vice president for a term of four years. I am expecting Ms Kamala Harris to make a great
president. However, we need a better system of electing presidents!
