Fatah is the ruling party of the Palestinian Authority and the party of President Mahmoud Abbas, but in Gaza, it has been significantly weakened, mismanaged, and marginalized since Hamas won elections in 2007. While some Palestinians do oppose Hamas - evidenced by protests like the one mentioned - there is no strong, organized liberal opposition within Gaza. Given the ongoing war and the lack of alternatives, it seems that a majority of the population either supports Hamas or sees them as the only viable resistance against Israel. In contrast to Israel, where internal political opposition still exists despite democratic backsliding, sadly Gaza is effectively trapped between Hamas’s authoritarian rule and Israel’s military policies.

You are the perfect emanation of the one absolute. The world prefer you be a widget in the one machine. Who are you going to listen to? No one has ever come close to doing what you do.

I have banned the words democrat republican conservative liberal from my vocabulary, my social media, my mind-stream and all the names of the people leading these parties. It's no longer part of my consciousness. Apolitical is the buzzword. Have no idea what is happening. Never been happier. Imagine if these words WERE banned. Beautiful. We would all be one party. The only party would be like 1999. No imaginary enemies anywhere. Every country can do the same.

The man blogs every day pretty much. Take a read and see the fruit.

You can be the most articulate most bright most conscious person but if your parent tells you to get lost, you have to pack your bags. Money talks, logic walks. If someone pays your bills, you have no influence in their life.

Re Leo's latest post, per a course in miracles, what thwarts the move back to unity is to see bodies everywhere. You can't help doing so but you can reprogram your interpretation. Remind yourself always, bodies are but the means not the ends. Bodies for most of us are the be all and end all. Means means they won't make you happy but they should be used on the path of happiness. To do that, realize you are looking at a god not a bod, a holiest son not a horrible sin, a divine door not a devilish dau. This is how you enter the holy instant, and see everyone as they truly are.

Families are inherently problematic since they are hierarchy and one carries less clout than another. You can only influence someone by being equal in status. Usually this means get away and make a name for yourself and then come home. People respect money and success and reputation and career. As we know, a prophet won't be accepted by his own household.

Step 1 is to know who is the self that needs controlling. Is it ego or is it god? To achieve this, get to bed and up before the world does and sit in silence. One you know the real you, you seamlessly abide and act on your true behalf. The fool who existed before who needed discipline is long gone.

Life depends on two things: how many people you need to worry about and how much money you have to your name. Your life is equally good or bad in ANY country depending on the smallness of factor 1 and the largeness of factor 2. Today go to a nightclub / restaurant in Beijing, Moscow, New York and tell me if there's a difference. In my case I am as free as a bird. On the other hand location matters little to me. I only need the basics available anywhere.

Offense is weak sauce. Suck it up. Pun intended.

Seek out those who offend you the most. The Trumps, the Tates, the Thunburgs. You need these people to teach your triggers and indeed your required work. When you can be with them happily, you are arriving. Sticks and stones break my bones but words they never hurt me. Everyone is good.

I propose this consciousness litmus test to ask of every aspiring political leader or public figure: If I want to kill you, will you want to kill me? If I hate you, will you hate me? If you hate me, do you want to 1. kill me or 2. just least weaken me or 3. just isolate me and leave me be?

Being God doesn't preclude giving someone a good whipping. Some need it. Some love it. Some dread it. To not be punished for stuff is a sure way not to awaken. All need to learn they are wrong and pay the piper. Jesus ended up flogged more than most and he didn't veer off course.

Once you cross the gateless door, then the world will be a happy dream. Jesus got to a point where he saw God everywhere and all he wanted was to heal minds and help bodies.

No need to change what you see or what you do but change how you see and how you do. In fact I need do nothing ... as an ego. I need do nothing off my own back, my own insight, my own goals, my own drives. Now is all that is needed. Have the one who knows call the shots.

Agreed. You think your mind is separate, distinct, different, from my mind. And projection makes this the case. You place me here and yourself there. This resulting perception is false and reversing this, the camel going through the eye of the needle, is the work. Anything bad I see in you is my bad not yours. In so doing, the kingdom comes and we will become united, loving, divine. Any person I meet with anything other than love is an unhealed part of my mind needing my forgiveness for seeing it in error.

Would you like self expansion or self contraction, self help or self halt. The former is the material path, the latter is the spiritual path. The former makes you a god among men, the latter makes you a man among gods. In my estimation, the former suits the first half of life and the latter befits the second half. This depends on one's inclinations and disposition and so the timing aspect is personal preference. Think about it and let me know which you care to undertake.

Yes. Only for a mind though. All awakenings spoken at this forum are mental appearances, unshare-able and limited. God-realization meanwhile is one and done and for all. I and the Father are now one. This is the work Jesus ably demonstrated for those with ears and eyes. Other paths may be applicable.

Every ego will say as much. Living its best life depends on it. Because god is g-ame o-ver d-ude. God is reachable only this very moment by not letting ego demur. Just get here as this song begs us.

Imagination is but a dimmer switch on Reality. What is seen right now is either absolute truth or meaningless fiction depending on whether the one seeing is the most high god or the me-perpetuating ego.

The answer to pain is, you are not a body. When you drop misidentification, sensations arise but not yours.

Question 1: Do I need a guru/religion? Question 2: Do I need to suffer to get to my true nature? Question 1 is yes. Else you won't ask question 2. Only guru/religion tells you to go through suffering. The world will tell you avoid suffering at all costs. And will sell your widget after widget to do just that. You don't know your true nature. You are born ignorant. Your world is mad if you haven't noticed. You will stay like this your whole life. Until you come online and find what's missing. You have lived millions of lifetimes and gotten nowhere, all the while preparing you for this. Thanks be to God in the highest! This is your time.

If life is good, you will be content with a happy life and not find a blissful life. Suffering is blessing from this perspective. All ye who enter here are suffering.
