Seeing and Believing a Nuclear Iran: The Power of Visualization


I have been advised by many--colleagues, friends, counselors, authors, family and others--that there is some truth to visualization. Visualizing is the prelude to manifestation. No matter what the present truths and realities may dictate, if you believe hard enough, a visualization can become a reality. The church mother always told me to "be careful what you pray for" when I mused about wanting stuff, like a house, a family, a education, etc. Believe it or not, when I am able to visualize and to focus many of my desires have been fulfilled--good or bad. This brings us to group- visualization. This is where the international community (mainly the Western powers and, of course, Israel) is visualizing Iran creating a nuclear bomb.

While Iran has been steadfast in disputing the international community's atomic bomb visualizations for its country by declaring over and over that it will use its nuclear power for peaceful purposes. However, the power of group-visualization seems to be set in stone. Like, no matter that Iraq didn't possess weapons of mass destruction, Bush and his neo-conservative warlords use of tunnel vision precluded any different outcome. Visualization was so strong that even today many Americans still cling to this fraud manifestation.

Even as Brazil and Turkey huddled with a "defiant" Iran to come up with a spectacular alternative to punishing sanctions, the international community led by the US did not and can not visualize anything except the nuclear bomb--thus a new round of sanctions.



The new sanctions authorize countries to inspect cargo to and from Iran;
strengthen an arms embargo by banning transfers of more types of conventional
arms and missiles; expand restrictions on Iran's access to nuclear technology;
add more institutions to a financial sanctions watch list and urge "vigilance"
in doing business with any organization linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard.


And, the President remains adamant.



President Barack Obama said the sanctions send "an unmistakable message about the international community's commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.



For argument sake, likes just say that Iran decides to develop a nuclear bomb. It shouldn't be a surprise, should it? (Be careful what you pray for). No matter their good intentions, visualization of an international community can turn out to be the deciding end play. As a student and believer myself of the power of thoughts and how e think can be as powerful as our physical effort, we may have evolved to a deadly came of 'cause and effect'.

I don't know about you, but I prefer not to visualize evil. This is not to say scientific research and genuine prognostication should be thrown out of the window, but whoever said that voodoo was a science. Yet, as a nation, we are reminded of how one of our greatest social justice activist, Dr. Martin Luther King, once visualized on how we can all become a world of peace. Today that dream still remains unmet. So as we collectively visualize the worst scenario concerning Iran we should be just as vigilant in a just cause of peace! If we are able to start hoping for the victory of international peace, we are well on our way for fulfilling an unmet prophecy.

I have a dream
today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be
exhalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be
made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the
Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our
hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith
we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this
faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a
beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
With this faith we will be able to work
together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to
stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This
will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new
meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land
where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside, let
freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become
true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let
freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the
heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the
snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of
California. But not only that; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of
Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom
ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let
freedom ring.

And when this happens, and when we allow
freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from
every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of
God's children, black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Martin Luther King
"I have a dream"-speech, aug. 28, 1963
My book gives a personal journey where humans must start doing the right thing before it's too late: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1672518334.. In a nut shell, I am on a mission to tell people that we are in the 'last days' as earthlings where everyone will meet up with their maker and meet-up with those who have already left us. Yet, the final destination may not be what you were expecting because you never prepared for your life journey after earth. Your 'bucket list' were only bound to the physical world.

Montel Williams pushes payday loans

Image
The MoneyMutual site reads: Why does Montel Williams endorse MoneyMutual? Celebrated talk show host and Daytime Emmy Award winner Montel Williams associates himself only with products that help people live better physically, spiritually, financially and emotionally. He understands that people will find themselves with difficult to pay expenses due to lack of funds or credit and agrees that a cash advance can provide the needed quick assistance and help avoid more costly fees. In times where the welfare of many is being threatened by runaway bank charges, high interest rates, high unemployment, a spirited IRS, predator credit lending companies, the cost unjust wars and general corporate greed in general. It makes since that in our desperation we become victimized by Payday loan companies that have proliferated in the last decade in both the depressed inner-city communities over the Internet. It's simple. If you're already living from paycheck to paycheck, why not s

Being Different

"Being Different" IS NO WALK IN THE PARK. I reckon it depends on many factors, i.e., whether or not you will be received for being different or rejected for being different. In our society, today we celebrate diversity. Today, people are expected not to be prejudice or hurtful to another who might not be like them or might not belong to the same tribe as them. For centuries, this diversity aspect has been a simple color issue for the nation as a whole. If you were white you were privileged and if you where black you were not privileged. Being black meant that your rights and access to health and general welfare would be threatened. However, today that has changed. People are still prejudice, but they are not as blatant. They don't need to be. Because of the inequalities and iniquities of the past can be found in a system that does the talking. This means that white people (or people in charge) don't have to be openly racist anymore because the system will

Small Things Matter:  Prolific and Thoughtful Advocacy for Elders Submitted by:  Jerel Shaw Let's face it, the world would be screwed without the expertise of lawyers helping people when they've been wronged.  Then of course, this reality (helping) is predicated on the a myriad of competing conflicting interests in our capitalist society - in others words, everybody has to get paid. From the guy who was just blindsided by an errant vehicle who is lucky to be alive to the child who just unfortunately didn't survive when a out-of-control vehicle came out of nowhere onto the sidewalk in both the the lawyers and the claimant or their survivals can be well compensated if the lawyer works his magic.  From stifling class action lawsuits to million dollar lawsuits, the likelihood of the inevitable occurrence of disagreements often are the supply that demand that lawyers are needed.  And, unfortunately if  there's  money (profit) then without that element one ca

The Colonial Fix: What group can help me?

Every since the reported first European colony hit the America shores in the 1400's, I have yet to read about the saving dynamic of colonial life.  Sure, we hear about how countries colonize the land of other countries and how they force their culture on the natives once they are in complete control.  We also heard of the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and the Manifest Destiny in 1545.   The latter proclaims that it is only its colony's right to spread their values and cultures on others, free or bonded and the former declares how the colony must claim as much as it can of other people's colonies. While this thought is said to receded, it hard to tel a the modern day neoconservative colonial thinkers have taken hold in most of today's geopolitical dramas. Both doctrines are good examples that by their mere definitions that they not only exhibit the potential perils of conquering other colonies, but both demonstrate the will and the sheer force of man to overtake other brothe

Inconvenient Truths: Impediments to Justice for all

"The truth is staring you in the face" was the words sometimes used by my high school tennis coach as he opined on the difference between a winner and a loser.  The winner always takes the bull by the horns and, by any means necessary, finds a way to win. The loser does the opposite, he's always running from the truth. If indeed there is some value in the Biblical words stating that the "truth shall set you free" than maybe society should take note of the facts on the ground and start winning the divers battles that help to determine a fair and just society as oppose to one that perpetually pits the haves against the have-nots.   . . . when will a Christian nation   get their heads out of the ground   and began to face dire facts that can and should be corrected? . . . How can a truly Christian society proclaim freedom when so many of their inhabitants are 'clinging to life' in the land of opportunity? What are the facts? Well I m

The 'Imperial Hubris' in Syria is the Real Culprit Nobody is Talking About

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but my prescience is validated many times over by further substantiations on the ground. Several examples include: Turkey has never been an ally of Iran, or Russia but a pure hegemonic driven troublemaker intent on double-dealings, and is using the Kurdish as an excuse has always been a cover for the aforementioned. '[The] inter-threaded imperial propensities'  of not only the U.S.,  Israel and friends (Saudi Arabia would like  to join the club),  but also Russia and Turkey;  all are indistinguishable members Hence their foray into occupying sovereign land (in my opinion, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone: 2. Russia's interests in Syria is not based on loving anybody, but purely for strategic interests. Hence, they can thrive in a Baltic reality (a divided Syria) as long as they get something out of it. These notions have been substantiated on several occasions including their (Russia) com

Taking Wooden Nickels: Man Cluelessness in Crisis can be final and fatal

Society has been proliferated with data coming from research that examines the real status of Americans.  But, no matter how profound and informative the data may be, humans have what one would call a 'selective perception' opting to believe a lie before the truth. Hence, hoping vs. reality seem to have clashed since the beginning of time. Currently, the government is supposedly determining the amount of direct funding that it would issue to its (some) citizens to help them overcome the ravages of a virus pandemic that has placed society in and obit of uncertainty.  And, while those in government are acting like they care it's arguable that our capitalistic system are revealing holes in human response.  To be perfectly clear, the banks, wall street, airlines are really the priority - just like before.  Every profit making entity supersedes human concerns for those most at risk, i.e., the elderly, disabled, and citizens in general.  Now people would like to hope that this

Forgetting: The first symptom of defeat

It had been over several years since I started the case of discrimination against my corporate employer.  The fight started at the workplace and worked itself up to the EEOC, before making the final move to sue in court.  All of the administrative remedies have been exhausted, and my employer was determined to use every deflection tools necessary in order to strain me and my supporters of the will to fight. Since the tools that Employers use (especially large employers) are not only varied, but are many and can be lethal,  I've made it my business to try and recognized the ones of stealth nature--hard to recognize.  Even with its stealth proportionality, and not easily recognizable, the large potential of devastating results are the same.  Of course many, just as I had, fail to discern the many and how these weapons are in infinite motion to destroy those who the enemy have deemed as being a threat to their order.  One could say that its a systematic fix. As any one who has tri

The Re-Cooptation of Us: The Power of Supremacy

The Re-Cooptation of Us:  The Power of Supremacy Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls have picked them everyone Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Song and Words from Music, Rights Folk Legend Peter  Seeger's As an Black American I feel rooted and grounded in my black culture.   My journey to other people lands and places, know matter how compellingly attractive, thanks to my upbringing by a strong black mother and father and yes, a segregated black community, I could never, and will never separate my self for not being able to state that "I Black and am Proud". Thank God for Jesus as well.  He taught me what it means when He stated "I will never leave or forsake you". This is my message today that I will continue to freely give, "I will never leave or forsake you". ...the point is that if you ever lived on my side of the track, I find it hard to accept other black people forsak
