Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
ORIGIN OF PATRIOT
C16: via French from Late Latin patriōta, from Greek patriotēs, from patris native land; related to Greek patēr father; compare Latin pater/father, patria fatherland (as Germans refer to Gemany). General overall meaning is Father!! The meanings are varied but most refer back to the concept of Family…(that’s Another word/definition to discuss). The origin of Patrius is Sanskirt but through my study of Etomology I found it mean Owner (& family was/is/are possessions.) This was in a very Old dictionary.

Greetings all,
This may be a new point of view to most who read this Blog. I offer a common sense understanding, of how I see; the Law of Attraction(LoA) as it relates to the everyday things we all experience.!! We all have “issues” that come from our Perspectives & Beliefs; from where we want to Feel “relief”. Knowing that Words don’t teach, only Life’s experiences do. It’s my desire that my Words bring clarity & inspire new ideas that inspire Satisfying action.!!

Patriotism, as many other (noun: a distinctive doctrine, theory, system, or practice), is just as detrimental.
The idea that This piece of land or that one, marked by the desires of Man; belongs to Anyone, to me; is a ridiculous concept. Unlike the animals from which we learned the “rules” of the Social structure we call civilization, man’s Brain, conscious, directed thoughts didn’t/hasn’t grasped the idea that our Intelect allows us to reason out our differences through Language & commication instead of Violence.!!
So why does Man think/believe they have any validity to Take/claim something that they Didn’t create. The PLANET was here BEFORE the infection of Man upon it. Observing the animals that marked out a territory for their Feeding grounds, man did so as well. UnAccustomed to the concept of conservation, not over-grazing their territory; the Lack mindedness mentality(that exists today) forced movement into the realms of others. The (continuing) Lack-Conscious, Limited resources mentality promoted the nessecity to Defend what’s there & their’s, just as the animals do. However, man did not watch them long enough to see that their conflicts over food, a mate or territory rarely ended in DEATH.!! They also missed the Unpsoken agreement of co-operation & Understanding. Both sides agreeing to the long ago established rules of Co-EXISTING.!!
So now we have Our COUNTRY where we live & grow. We become accustomed to the daily progression of events. We come to believe that it’s the Way it’s Meant to Be…Worse yet, we think that it’s the ONLY way & that anyone doing or thinking Different is Wrong.!! Since the only response we’ve learned is Violence, man lashes out against itself believing, agreeing & telling others that it is Virtuous. The sacrifices result in accalades & acknowlegements, maybe even stautes or parades; especially if one Dies.!!
So in our Country, bound within our Borders (which we defend; against the Natural progress) we look at the rest of the world with suspicion & fear. Rather than co-existing & adapting new ideas & flavors into our sphere of knowing, we Fight against change, growth & Peace.!! That’s Patriotism.
If we saw Others behaving in such a manner, we would & do, condemn them. If we do it in the Name of (someone else’s idea/belief), then it’s accepted & praised.!! Our rules & Ideals don’t even apply to Us.-JMO
My knowing of the Universal LoA provides personal (Stress Mgmt.+) counsel that can awaken the unlimited potential of Infinite Intelligence, allowing for deep, meaningful, and powerful clarity & understanding.!! Feel free to reach out for more personal responses.
Happpy Creating!!
