Leo Tolstoy on God

LEO TOLSTOY ON GOD: "When you look inside yourself, you see what is called 'your own self' or your soul. You cannot touch it or see it or understand it, but you know it is there. And this part of yourself--that which you cannot understand--is what is called God. God is both around us and inside of us--in our souls.

The more you understand that you are at one with God, the more you will understand that you are at one with all His worldly manifestations."

Why Rush...Sarah...Anne...and Others Keep Putting Their "Foot" In Their Mouths




The public Rush Limbaugh is not someone I would choose to defend, as the guy keeps "putting his foot" in his mouth and always seems to be saying the "wrong" and "politically incorrect" thing.

But when I get beyond the "image" of Rush Limbaugh, I truly have compassion and empathy for him.

And for Sarah Palin. And for Jerry Springer, for that "awful show," and Steve Wilkos for his sensationalism. And for Anne Coulter for simply being who she TRULY IS!
And so many, many others who earn their living by being rude, crude, uncaring and just totally, seemingly "not giving a damn!"



I could simply dismiss all these personalities with one statement, "hey, the man's got to eat." But "it's complicated," much more complicated than meets the "ear" of what they say.
[Rush Limbaugh as he BLOWS OUT SMOKE!This is his forte'.]

What ALL these folks have in common is that indeed, yes, they have made a living and gained popularity...oops notoriety...by walking on the "wrong," "wild" and "crude" side of life.



But the REAL OFFENSE of these personalities is that they have made a "name" for themselves by appealing to the lowest common denominator within people, i.e hatred, anger, selfishness, greed and revenge. These "personalities" of Rush, Sarah and Anne...especially... get attention because they say what they think people want them to say. And yes, to some extent, they also TRULY believe what they state, because they are coming from the BASEST part of themselves, too. As for Jerry and Steve, well..."whatever..."


The complicated part comes in because in their quieter moments, even THEY have to question the decency of what they do and say out in the public arena.


I wouldn't want to be in their Souls!

You see we can SELL out ourselves, our true selves, for so long. Then the whispering begins from someone who does not agree with you publicly. Loving the limelight as these people seem to do, ONE comment that is contrary to the adulation they FEED on seeps into their SOULS.

There begins their destruction!

I know that they are NOT living with their TRUTHS...not DEEP DOWN IN THEIR SOULS!

[Steve DOES appear sympathetic! But it's the sensationalism, STEVE!!!]

Every day you hear Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Anne Coulter spouting out something obnoxious, sensational or untrue, you know they are just CRAVING for more attention because that FEEDS the GUILT that is beginning to seep into their Souls.

The truth is that the more outrageous they get, the MORE you know they are SUFFERING inside.

No ONE ...I mean NO ONE...not even Rush Limbaugh...was created WITHOUT the image of God being implanted in his or her Soul!



So, "the goodness and mercy" that follow them is the GUILT that they have to deal with when the lights, cameras and microphones get turned off.

That's when the suffering begins.

Right after they get off the air, they FEED on the accolades of those to whom they appeal.


Then, they go to bed at night.

One comment to the contrary of "adulation" gets them undone.

The suffering begins.

Their public masquerade continues because, yes, they have to make a living and to support the expensive "habits" they've now become accustomed, especially Sarah Palin with her designer clothes.

[Sarah Palin especially can't stay out of the public's eye for long, where will those clothes be SEEN!? Are you KIDDING? DISAPPEAR quietly after you've lost? NOT HER!]
[Rush's got to have someone pay for his GOLF!]

So, we'll continue to see them ALL publicly masquerading. Eventually, they might really do themselves in publicly....but don't hold your breath. Even so, when one gets "shut down" another one rises.
[Even when doing Yoga, Sarah Palin strikes a POSE!]

What you can do when you see one of these "personalities," instead of getting angry, say "Namaste."


Namaste': "I honor the part of you that is of light, truth, peace and love. When you're in that place in YOU and I'm in that place in ME, we are ONE!"

Namaste'... Rush, Sarah, Jerry, Steve, Anne...

Namaste',

Che'

Comment from e-mail:
"You have so much more compassion than I have regarding these expletives that I take my hat off to you! I am beyond letting them bother me (only Sarah really did/does that because she was/is laying for a position of respect and power to defile), but I do see them as evil beings who bring bad things with them and through them, and I don't worry about their souls, as I'm not sure they still have them.

And I'm afraid that I can't see what they do as "Hey, they just gotta make a living!" I can ALMOST accept that as an excuse for the "Right Reverend" Lloyd Blankfein saying he's just doing God's work at Goldman Sachs, but from these people, No Way! They are simply EVIL, preying on the worst impulses people have--and which most have the decency to at least keep hidden, dislike, and try to transform--and make them appear to be virtues! They pit human beings against each other without any reference to a common humanity and, by doing so, doom our species and the evolution of this planet to a backward trajectory."
