Great example of an incentivized informant.



The way to get away with crimes in America is to commit them with other people and then flip on them so the prosectuors can convict them with your help. The prosecutors now "owe you," and you will get reduced sentences which are in no way commensurate with the crimes you perpetrated.

This is a great example of the games "one or other," and "what about him/her?" It has nothing to do with truth, justice, equity, and compassion and everything to do with escaping culpability, and accountability. President Donald Trump and his companions are masters at this game and a good example of one of the most corrupt presidential administrations in American history.

This kind of behavior is in violation of several Unitarian Univeralist principles such as princples 2, 4, 5, and 6.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

Things are constantly changing and in this observation lies great hope.

Mistakes are made and goodness seems blocked from its manifestation. Are we to give up and dispair?

Unitarian Universalists are a people of faith who believe in the covenant which, based on the seven principles, removes the blocks and obstacles to the awareness of Love's presence which is with us always.

Because we don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. We may live in a house where the doors have been closed and the shades have been drawn. The sunshine has been denied entrance into our abode.

Seeing the glimmer of light, the crack where the light comes in, we decide to roll up the shades, and open the doors and the Divine floods in providing a warm embrace.

What is a teacher of God?

Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote seven principles. What all these principles have in common is the belief in the Love for one another.

The slogan is "One for all and all for one."

Another way of putting it is, "We are all in this thing called Life together."

John Lennon, the great contemporary prophet, sang, "Imagine."

Who is a teacher of God?

The teacher of God it is written in A Course In Miracles is the person who "...has made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interests as part from someone else's. Once he has done that, his road is established and his direction is sure."

When a person wants the best for another person because (s)he understands that that is what is best for everyone, an important step has been taken for the salvation of the world. An important step has been taken toward the Atonement, At-one-ment, when every body loves every body all the time.

The wanting what is best for another person is called Love. The opposite of Love is fear and fear is based on the belief in scarcity. The belief in scarcity leads to a belief in "me before you" or "me instead of you" and "give to get."

The teacher of God operates on different principles and beliefs. The teacher of God believes in the abundance of God's Love, and "give to have" and "your well being is my well being," and "one for all and all for one."
