Politics - sorta

[Chett]

Interesting thread.

To me, Ra seemed to bless the American experiment, the ideals of the founders, and the idea of participating in the political process when they mentioned that Thomas (Jefferson) and Benjamin (Franklin) were wanderers.

Ra also mentioned the possibility of invasion by fascist or communist forces, suggesting, perhaps, that we are not yet in either of those camps.

Is this what you are talking about:
65.7
"The ideal of freedom from the so-called invading force of either the controlled fascism or the equally controlled social common ownership of all things would stimulate great quantities of contemplation upon the great polarization implicit in the contrast between freedom and control."

That is another Ra quotes that seems to have gotten stuck in my mind. I believe we are in this struggle or contemplation NOW. There are Fascist and/or Socialist forces that want to control the people. And there are some people who are using this opportunity to chose freedom.

And in many situaions they really have no good choices and then they have to turn inwards and find the love and freedom inside.

I think this is really what I was getting at to start with. The Glenn Beck guy - shouting "Remember who we are". He may or may not actually mean anything about LOO but I think the effect may be a lot of people doing some serious soul searching.
