The witch is dead, the witch is dead - so they sang with glory and glee in the land of Oz. And now, in the land of America, they sing because Osama Bin Laden is dead. The man we feared is no longer alive to hurt us.
There are so many things wrong with this, how does one begin? Should we start with the fact that Mr. Bin Laden died YEARS ago? His image has been kept alive to serve the function of governments and other powers that be. Now that he is gone, who will they use next?
As long as there is someone to fear, those who do fear are easily controlled. So let's move to the next issue. What power does anyone have over us really? What is fear but something we create within us and project outside of us and call it by a name other than our own?
I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said that those who exchange liberty for the illusion of security will get what they deserve. But looking at this from Universal Law, we give only to ourselves - so what we fear in others we create for our own experience.
What power does anyone hold over us when WE are the creators of our own life and death? If no one has the power to kill us without our consent, who or what can we really ever be afraid of?
This is not to say we will never die, for there is no body that will not leave this planet at some point in time. What so many fail to understand is that no matter how awful, scary, or unplanned our demise may look - it is always orchestrated by our Spirit and Self. Our Will is equal in power to God's. If God can't kill us, why do we think a wicked witch or an evil man can?
Really? How did we get so silly? The reason is that to understand no one has any power over us is to accept that we are responsible for everything that happens to us. That is the single most significant reason most don't want to know the truth and so willingly blame and assign responsibility to anyone and everyone but themselves.
This is a big subject that can't be covered in such a small space, but I couldn’t not comment on the puppet theater that is now playing across the media. It is always our choice to wake up and go home. Dorothy did, will you?
