I am new to your blog, enjoyed your post from Dumb Little man- I was looking a this post and I agree with many of your tennants, but your last one, Nationalism/Fascism needs some clarification…

I really think that it is healthy for a country to have a shared culture among its people. I think to put Nationalism with Fascism is incorrect.

I feel that being truly American is feeling proud of our constitution, the philosphies of Gearge Washington, Ben Franklin, Abe Lincoln and the like.

Facsism is a twisted political philosphy that strives to contril the group mind and create a Godless society where the dictator decides whats best for its countrymen and when a facsist dictoator is done there he goes on to cause Worl Wars and attempts world domination.

TO be inspired by your country and to feel proud of who you are and where you come from is a great shared experience that can foster self growth. That is why I personally belief in borders, culture and language.

Thanks for the great comment. “I believe my response to your words shows me I’m not walking my talk” – on the contrary Jeanne, I think that you are actually walking your talk if you get upsetting and revolting feelings as you read such stuff. It means you are focusing your consciousness and energies on the good stuff right?

Anyway, the same thing happens to me each and every time…even when I was writing the article!

As I read this post I felt some “negative” vibrations rising up in my gut — feelings of frustration, impatience, and anger toward those who hold these worldviews.

This surprised me. Then I thought, most of the time I’m reading “feel-good” stuff on blogs; in fact I feed myself a pretty steady diet of said stuff. I believe my response to your words shows me I’m not walking my talk. Humbling. Thanks for the wake-up call!

Sacred words brother!

Unfortunately yes we are still very blind to it. Like you I wonder how long can we stay oblivious to it….I hope much shorter than the time humans have been around already!

Hehe it could probably be a question of great minds think alike If you read the ‘overcoming writer’s block’ article I think I have a possible answer to it. I call it the universal web of ideas that we all tap into…so we could have tapped into part of a common source!
