Mind Games ;)

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
(I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before)

How America Lost Its Mind - Kurt Andersen :smile:
The nation’s current post-truth moment
is the ultimate expression of mind-sets
that have made America exceptional throughout its history.

Has the great American experiment in liberty gone off the rails?
Best-selling novelist, public radio host
and acclaimed cultural critic Kurt Andersen tackles that question
in his latest book, Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History
due out September. A provocative chronicle of magical thinking
and make-believe
that provides a new paradigm for understanding
the post-factual present
in which reality and illusion are dangerously blurred.

As protesters clash in occasionally violent street confrontations
that spread via online video, provoking emotional conversations
that could touch almost anyone on Facebook or Twitter
millions of Americans feel pressure to pick a side
to support or denounce a faction
knowing that whatever they say
about white supremacists, Antifa, or Black Lives Matter
they risk being criticized for failing to condemn violence on “their side,”
or for suggesting a false equivalence between groups.
How can a conflicted observer find clarity?
One way forward is to distinguish between a group’s ends and its means.

How to Distinguish Between
Antifa, White Supremacists, and Black Lives Matter

Navigating the most fraught conversation of the moment :smile:

requires attention to both means and ends https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...-the-alt-right-and-black-lives-matter/538320/

The Dakota Access Pipeline is owned by Energy Transfer Partners
which is owned by Sunoco Logistics
who spills crude oil more often than any of its competitors according to Reuters.

You’d think the violence of contaminating the Missouri River
(a drinking water source for millions)
and sacred sovereign land :smile:
would be considered terrorism
but no, that label seems only to apply to those who threaten the corporate state.

Bold Iowa is one of the environmental groups
being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars by Energy Transfer Partners.

Climate change and the influence of the oil and gas industry
cannot be separated from hurricane devastation.
Climate change literally causes increasingly extreme, severe weather events
and Earth is crying for our attention.
 
Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist. The true antidote to racism is liberty.

The true antidote to racism is Individualism. Astrology itself is extremely individualistic, when practiced correctly.
