Pushing Sanity

It’s not fear, but sanity.

I’ve noted often enough we are headed for tough times but anybody can see it coming. However, most of the folks who write about it tend to embrace a response I simply cannot swallow, because it’s based on a frame of reference I cannot accept. I am resolute in my otherworldly orientation; this world is the Shadowlands. I’m not hiding away from this life, but facing it head-on as a challenge to punch holes in the mythology by showing what a genuine otherworldly approach produces.

I’m driving hard with my fitness regimen. The objective is not to prolong life here, but to empower Kingdom service in this life as long as it serves a divine purpose. Not the least of my concerns is remaining utterly free from the Nanny State system of “health care.” As Tony Cartalucci notes:

While the science of vaccinations may be sound, the corporations that have monopolized their manufacturing and distribution are demonstrably dishonest and criminal. The debate is not necessarily whether the process of vaccinating is good or bad, but why criminal enterprises have monopolized that process and what can be done to stop them. As with everything else corporate monopolies do, there is a hidden agenda behind the drive to whitewash and promote big-pharma’s vaccines — an agenda that may transcend mere profits and demands additional scrutiny. If commentators want to assign blame upon anyone for creating public distrust in vaccines, it should be upon big-pharma itself.

I can’t afford to let some corrupt and powerful entity decide for me what is in my best interests, all the more so when it has been amply demonstrated they don’t give a damn about me. The US government is captive to commercial interests, and always has been. These days the government likes to mandate that you will do what the big money interests want you to do. Call it what you like, but it functions very much life fascism, as we note in passing the state interest is serving big corporate money.

It’s not money or profit I hate, but the sheer moral injustice of our current system. Dependence means going along with poking God in the eye. On the other hand, I have to work within the limitations of where God has placed me. I would greatly prefer to live next door to my friend Wildcucumber, because I don’t have anywhere near the expertise or resources to do it right. Instead, God has placed me down here next to OKC, out in the eastern county in a trailer park. On the good side, I don’t have to worry about fluoridated water; we have a private well system. On the bad side, I have no choice about mowing the grass and killing the natural herbs folks call “weeds.” I have no argument whatsoever with Sister Wildcucumber’s recommendations about how God intended us to eat and live with nature, but I live in a world that has no intention of listening to God on a very wide range of issues.

My calling requires I compromise on some things in order to push ahead with other things. He sets the agenda for me within the broad range of His perfect Laws. Should you find that serving God forces you to accept some of that awful and immoral “care” the government forces upon us, it’s between you and Him to discern what faithfulness means in your context and calling. Sometimes there is no one right answer, but choices you have to make and let God handle the rest. Sanity isn’t listening to the advice of the rest of the world, regardless of their varying degrees of moral wisdom, but it’s listening to your own inner voice. Religion is properly our attempt to live by the ineffable calling of the Spirit.

The ultimate measure of sanity in this crazy fallen world is peace with God.
