ABSOLUTELY NOT! The "Collective Left" has the "New States Constitution 2020" waiting in the wings to replace the "outmoded", "white supremacist", "racist" and "unjust" US Constitution.
Having READ this "New Constitution" it is the neo-Left's blueprint for absolute SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM - which incidentally has NO provision in it for INDIVIDUAL firearms - only police and military.
Sorry, I miss read what you said.....I DO agree, a COS would likely be a disaster, might even get us all killed.
At one time, I agreed. But we really have a constitution, it is just being ignored. A COS would likely be "purchased" and doom us, take away our rights, our guns.
As one billionaire put it, as long as Politicians can be purchased for so little money, voting, nothing else matters.
Too many to detail here. But, I will posit two things. The Constitution is not flawed, the public servants are (human nature can’t be changed) and, there are no rules to stop Congress from usurping total control of the endeavor. I will let this speak for me Ana: https://jbs.org/video/concon/the-harsh-reality-of-a-convention-of-states/
Think also that the states have rolled over and played dead. As I say every time this comes up, that 10th amendment gives them incredible power if they would only apply themselves. Look how a very few state AGs such as Paxton have tied this administration in knots in their own damn courts.
I read today: In a new lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has revealed that Pfizer and Tris Pharma, two major pharmaceutical companies, have been defrauding the Texas Medicaid program by providing an adulterated ADHD medication to children.
According to Paxton’s investigation, Pfizer and Tris doctored testing data on the drug Quillivant, despite knowing that it had serious manufacturing issues.
This allowed them to keep the drug on the market and continue to profit from its sale, even though it was not effective and could potentially harm children.
According to the lawsuit, the head of technology for Tris knew of the “substandard manufacturing practices” during his time there from 2013 to 2017 but refused to say anything.“
Many state legislatures (red) are passing laws that stop the cultural nonsense, the trans crap, the CRT in schools, etc.
Between 18-25 state AGs have band together in all sorts of lawsuits against the Biden admin. Not always winning but making the attempt. They should pass laws that no state agency can get a fed grant or fed money without the legislature's okay because that is where the feds set their teeth. Like a measuring scale with one arm state money and the other fed money, oh let's see, hmmm.
The Lords Prayer...translated from Aramaic directly into English rather than from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English: O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration, soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide. Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission. Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish. Untie the tangled threads of destiny that binds us, as we release others from entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again. And So it is !
Fill us with your creativity. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish. O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration.
This paraphrased version to my way of thinking is excellent clarification of the Prayer and the reason that I posted it. Further investigation shows various translations. Personally, from a spiritual viewpoint, the patriarchal structuring seems artificially imposed.
In our email correspondence with Douglas-Klotz, we soon learned what appeared to be happening with the "O cosmic Birther" translation that was being shared on Facebook. He told us that there have been no shortage of what he termed "paraphrases" of his previous translations:
There have been an enormous number of "paraphrases” (in publishing terms plagiarism) of my multiple translations of the prayer floating around online for the past 30+ years. The one now floating around is the current one. As far as I can tell none of the people doing them know Aramaic. They are just improvising based on their own fancy, using material from the multiple actual translations from Aramaic in my first book (1990), "Prayers of the Cosmos." My methodology and sources are in "The Hidden Gospel" (1999).
He also said that the idea that there's one true and original translation of the Lord's Prayer just doesn't square with reality:
Ancient Semitic languages, their root-and-pattern system and their 'way of knowing' (epistemology) in the ancient world mean that the words of prophet or visionary would always be understood on multiple levels. The ideal of one, single "literal" translation did not exist. That comes later with Christian theology.
According to Douglas-Klotz's work, the "O cosmic Birther" variation on Facebook appears to simply be a paraphrased version of the translations he published in his book in 1990, meaning that it is not, in fact, any sort of an original, definitive, or literal translation of the Lord's Prayer.
"I have nothing against people improvising on what I’ve done for their own use, or composing their own prayers from scratch," Douglas-Klotz said. "It’s when they begin to post that something is the 'one, true' translation from Aramaic that I start getting a lot of email (or doing multiple posts on Facebook, which is what’s happening now)." So it is....interesting.
Shelley, we just have to start and Our Heavenly Father will direct our steps!
Indeed, but let's not do a convention of states.

Humm!

We have missed him, haven’t we?

Wow, that's different. Asking for quite a bit there. I'm so use to the bread, forgiveness, no temptation and no evil.
I guess I f you don’t ask for a lot you won’t get a lot. Ask BIG!!
Ask big, just don't be disappointed if you get the bare minimum, which is really quite a lot.
illuminate the opportunities of the present moment
More like praying for deliverance from the insanity around us.
