Since my last post, policies and politics in the world and the US have changed dramatically. Change for the worse? People are fearful for their safety and whether they will make ends meet due to the high inflation of the past several years. Many are concerned over the fact that the federal government is spending…

As such, being an enlightened politiholic is an oxymoron. We have talked about this before, but now the time has come to describe myself as an ex-politiholic. A politiholic by history and bent, but no longer a participant and no longer a frequent partisan judge of politicians. The truth is all people are brothers and…

LGBTQ+? “Straight?” Women? Men? Believers in God? Scientists? Atheists? People of Color? Undocumented Immigrants? Native Born Citizens? Racists? Scientists say that we are all one, the human race. A doctor can see anybody on the planet, no matter where they were born, what skin color, what religion they believe in, or who they love. It’s…

(All of the quotations in this blog are from “A Course in Miracles” and are here because they illustrate ‘deep truths’ that are not readily apparent to the unenlightened mind.

Since, this is the “Enlightened Politholic,” let’s visit about what Enlightenment means. Enlightenment is Not Special It is not a snobby, guru thing and is the furthest thing from it. People who are enlightened are not special in the worldly way of thinking about it. People who are not enlightened are merely asleep. They are…

This is a classic Ego tactic – two sides blaming each other for the lack of agreement on a major issue, like what kind of country this should be. There is no such thing as being completely correct and the other side completely wrong – we won’t play that game here. There are always two…

Is Politics the most important thing in your life? Many of our brothers and sisters care too much about American Politics, including me sometimes. Do You Hate the President or any Politician? I have come to the view that when I hate any brother or sister, I am the only one who feels bad about…

Heaven and politics are an oxymoron – they do not go together. Until now. Our purpose here is to get into the weeds of American Politics – and find our way forward to Heaven. It is not an easy task since we politiholics take things so seriously. We are addicted to the sense of power…
