Raise Your Glass
The general perception seems to be that the universe and consciousness are two different things. What if in truth there is only one thing, and to us there is normally only an apparent difference in our minds? To suggest that the two are fundamentally different things is a fragmentation. And fragmentation is not natural — wherever one finds it on Earth, it was put there by us. The universe and consciousness constitute one basic objective reality. It would not even be correct to say that each one needs the other to exist. Once one reaches a certain point — a threshold of clarity — one is unable to differentiate the two.

A recent poll by the University of Maryland discovered that 61% of today’s Republicans support declaring the United States a Christian nation. That figure rises to 78% when the question is asked to Republicans who describe themselves as Evangelical Christian. The poll also found “white grievance highly correlated with support for a Christian nation.”
