I don't know if you noticed, but there is a dichotomy regarding the current american president. There are people who think he's the worst, and there's nothing that he can do to make it better. Then there's the people who think he's the best, and that everything he does is affirming their faith in him.
The problem with it, is due to perspective. It is very hard to take one perspective and see the other perspective at the same time. Maybe it's due to how polarizing he is, or maybe we have all become polarized, and are only capable of seeing one perspective.
On September 24th, 60 minutes had a segment debuting Oprah Winfrey talking to a focus group about this perspective problem. If anything it shows the perspective divide even greater, by having people express what they believe regarding the president.
In my studies in college, I discovered that in a multiple reality scenario, that the existence of God or the non existence of God, is possible due to perspectives on reality. It is possible due to the nature of multiple realities, that both possibilities exist. That might not make sense to some people, but consider this. Imagine there are realities that intermingle on this planet. For some people, the reality has God as a very real being and influencing reality. For other people, that reality is devoid of intelligent design and God really does not exist.
When we look at quantum realities, we know that our perception and beliefs are influencing how we see our reality. So to understand the dichotomy, we must be able to transcend these realities, and see things from the other perspectives.
I realize how impossible that sounds, but I want to point out this fact that maybe what people are saying on each side is conceivably correct. It also could be conceivably incorrect as well. The question as to whether Trump is a good president can't be answered until after he has gone from office. To predetermine his success is to place opinion before actions. Even if you think vitriol or an enraptured state due to a tweet, means you are holding those opinions well in advance.
If you drop those opinions, then you have the greater difficulty of understanding why the hate/love exists. If anything, you might think they are pointless messages. However, because of his position in government, we weigh very heavily everything that is said, to the point of nitpicking. Because those opinions are based in our core selves, we are influenced heavily in the meanderings of a man. Not as much as a president, but as another talking head. Nothing based in science, truth or even consensus should even matter.
But these things matter in a polarized reality. You can see both sides, but invariably, you have to be a part of one of these realities. How you choose to act on them, is purely yours.
As for the current craziness regarding the NFL and the national anthem, that's a discussion for another day. Try seeing the perspectives on both sides based on what I just told you and maybe this is not as clear as it seems. There is no right side, there is no wrong side. You must know that the problem is a real one, and it takes a leader that can transcend the biases and address the problem entirely. Unfortunately that does not exist.

Has humanity reached the critical tipping point for ascension?
I was talking with a friend and she said that she heard that humanity and consciousness reached 10,000. Apparently that means everyone should have the understanding and awareness that they are conscious.
Here's the problem. In my observation, people in general aren't awake and aware. There are people who are awakening and becoming conscious, but the tipping point hasn't been met. It would be more visible.
What we have is a divide. A rift, if you will. It is a separation of ideals. However, that separation isn't a result of conscious, but rather a result of mind control.
The reason why I say this, is because mind control can only be identified when you approach full consciousness.
There are basically two things that define what is mind control:
1) Requirement to consume mental stimulation.
2) Separation of ideals, despite the basic needs that benefit us.
When it comes to mental stimulation, it's basically what we feed our brain. Whether we read, watch or whatever, what we are doing is obtaining information and processing it. When this information becomes passive, like watching movies and tv, or taking in a sporting event, the possibility for manipulation is possible.
The manipulation manifests in ways similar to techniques found in Sun Tsu's the art of war. The basic one being 'divide and conqueror'. The more control exists, the more the people become divided, and the more likely you are experiencing mind control.
As long as mind control exists, and people are pulled into it, then I cannot agree with the statement that humanity reached the tipping point.
Until then, we must wait and watch.

Problems with the Essene Gospel of Peace
I stumbled across some "ancient texts" which say the books called 'The Essene Gospel of Peace' are the actual words of Jesus.
However, there are a couple of problems I have with just the text of book 1. The first promotes a full raw vegan lifestyle. "God commanded your forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also. Be not like the foolish husbandman who sowed in his ground cooked, and frozen, and rotten seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields bore nothing. And great was his distress. But be like that husbandman who sowed in his field living seed, and whose field bore living ears of wheat, paying a hundredfold for the seeds which he planted. For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also."
The second says that wheat is the most perfect food. "...from the month of Sivan, eat wheat, the most perfect among all seed-bearing herbs."
The problem I have about eating meat, is that the body was designed to eat meat. Our mouth and teeth are typical of an omnivore. If we as a people were not meant to eat meat, then our teeth would more resemble a cow, meant more for grinding plant matter and such. Secondly, the feeding of the masses was with bread and fish. If fish is considered meat and that all meat is bad, then why would Jesus bother feeding that to the masses?
The other issue, that of wheat being the most perfect food. Maybe this was the case during that time, but today, wheat is the opposite of perfect. I experience digestion and health issues from eating modern day wheat. If wheat was perfect, then why was it altered? Why do we have 'enriched flour' in store bought bread?
So, why does this book defy modern day logic? That's because the essenes were a gnostic sect. In more esoteric terms, diet is important. If you are trying to purify the body and raise your energy levels, then the gospel of peace is saying exactly that. The body chemistry that results from eating raw vegan, reduces many maladies and changes the ph of the body to prevent disease.
However, the book skews toward the raw vegan lifestyle. It ignores the nature of the human body and hopes you forget Jesus's other actions in the rest of the gospels. It also makes the statement that if you eat meat, you're more likely to kill someone. I don't know where that comes from, but in all of the food I have ever eaten, not once have I wanted to go out and injure anyone.
Even if there is validity to the text, without the esoteric aspect, the text is rather condemning of the nature of the creation of humanity. Some mystics would say that there is a dichotomy in the nature of reality, which means we need to have that option.
Reality in my understanding exists in a state of balance. Truly balanced existence would include the spectrum of dining options. To truly experience what life has to offer, means taking a sense of moderation into all things we do. That means that we have the ability to enjoy meat, but also to gain the benefits of vegetables, fruits and grains.
When it really comes down to it. All decisions are ours to take.
