Moms for Liberty, The Moral Majority, Citizens United: Many names seem to be copacetic with our personal beliefs. For example, Moms for Liberty is an organization which have taken it upon themselves to remove books from school libraries. They have many ideas about why certain books should be removed, mainly having to do with gender and race. Years ago, Judy Blume was the author who addressed issues which some parents thought should be unmentionable. Now it’s gender identity which has certain people all het up. In a day and age when the internet and mass media outlets expose our children to any- and every-thing, it seems ridiculous to try to stop children from reading books which will tell the facts about things they are hearing about on a daily basis. Not only are sex and gender issues fearful to specific groups, they are also concerned that the truth of our country’s history will make kids embarrassed about our government’s actions. Well hello!! When we know truth and it is shameful, we will try to do better in the future, so future generations do not need to be ashamed. Stuff happens, but we can rectify the past by our actions today. And that changes the future. It’s fear or love, people. Fear or Love.
“You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brothers totally without judgment. When you recognize what you are and what your brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any way is without meaning. In fact, their meaning is lost to you precisely because you are judging them. All uncertainty comes from the belief that you are under the coercion of judgment. You do not need judgment to organize your life, and you certainly do not need it to organize yourself. In the presence of knowledge all judgment is automatically suspended, and this is the process that enables recognition to replace perception.”
—A Course in Miracles T-3.VI.3:1-6
“The power of the human will should be exercised only in subordination to Truth; else it will misguide the judgment and free the lower propensities. It is the province of spiritual sense to govern man. Material, erring, human thought acts injuriously both upon the body and through it.”
—Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 206:4-9
