RESIGNATION OF A GENERAL AND THE ETHICAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF A NATION...December 20, 2018

An  unusually highly respected  civil servant, General James Mattis, has had to conscientiously resign his post due to the chaos at the top of our governmennt.

The statement below can help one more clearly and practically grasp  the unique  importance of individual  human consciousness in the known universe. And this increased consciousness brings with it increased responsibility for the world. The animals can't become aware of and seek solutions to our pressing national and  world problems. They are as dependent on us as the trees and oceans.

Now, as never before, the destiny of our species and our planet depend on how many humans use their consciousness capacity in an intentional creative way, like many never have before. We should know our human Consciousness can serve and support evil destructive trends in the human family just as readily as it can endorse good, truthful and redeeming trends.

The resignation of our Secretary our State may be one of those moments, which seem to be happening in frequent succession, when citizens, who have the luxury of reflecting on the health of the nation, can intentionally call upon this Profoundly Important Personal Consciousness. And with a prayerful searching attitude attune ones personal capacity to choose goodness, sound mindness and truth over their opposites .
General James Mattis


As surely as a  literal star doesn’t know it's a star or a dog that it's a dog,  humans today can understand more forcefully the singular importance of individual human consciousness in our lonely universe. That consciousness has expanded in intensity and capacity since the Age of Enlightenment(re 400 years)

A personal expansion of consciousness can happen when individuals intentionally take their ethical judgments seriously, as if the world depended on us personally. In the end it existentially does. This, I'm convinced, is the nature of the depths of reality. Moral consciousness demands we take ourselves more seriously.

When such a respected person says he can no longer conscientiously remain in leadership in our system, that can wake us from our sleep and stir our common consciousness to exert its intended corrective influence.

More persons potentially can own the importance of how we ethically and responsibly evaluate such sad happenings. Happenings which effect not just our personal world, but the whole world.

At the moment one takes responsibility for personal consciousness and worshipfully offers up an internal commitment to the care of one’s integrity for the good of our world, authentic ethical corrections begin.

An awareness by individuals of the importance of applying his/her God-evolved consciousness is the only thing, I suspect, which can protect our nation and world from the looming chaos.
