Answer This Question

What do the United States, Argentina, Russia and many countries in Central America and Africa have in common? Political and governance instability. Inquiring minds are asking if anything can be done – spiritually – to help improve governments around the world. There is, and this two-part series offers some practical suggestions.

You are the starting place for the kind of government you’d like to see. It all starts in Consciousness – the Truth you are conscious of. If you don’t like what you see, take a look at what you are perceiving. Answer this question: Are you perceiving God as the only Presence, or are you perceiving a corrupt and broken government? Your answer to this question reveals if you need a perception correction.

The Perfect Starting Place

God’s omnipresence is the starting place for a better appearing government. Sprinkled throughout the Holy Bible are verses pointing to the omnipresence of God.

• Do not I fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord. (Jer. 23:24)
• Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! (Psalm 139:7-8)

A List Of Attributes Helps

A catchy metaphysical statement sums it up with, “There is no spot where God is not.” Of course, the higher view is God is All, and besides God there is nothing at all.

Whichever statement you run with, flesh it out with something that has practical meaning, such as the attributes of God. Below is a list to consider:

• God is Love
• God is Life
• God is Light
• God is Perfection
• God is All-Knowing Intelligence
• God is Substance

The Power Of Acknowledgment

Now, when you say “There is no spot where God it not,” you realize that there is no spot where these attributes are not already present. “But,” you say, “Allen, I can’t see them.” Does that mean they are not present?

On a cloudless night, you can look up and see the stars twinkling on their black bed, yet on a sun-drenched afternoon, look up. Can you see the stars? No, but they are there.

Although you don’t see them, all of the attributes of God are present, and you can see them. Instead of whining and complaining about their absence, simply acknowledge they are present here, now, and always. They are here because God is ever-present.

Don’t complain that love, justice, honesty and integrity are missing in government. Instead, acknowledge their presence. They must be present because God is Present.

Here’s a dare. Start and stay with God’s Absolute Allness and find something – anything at all – to complain about. Can you do it? Should you find one thing to complain about, you’ve broken the agreement to start and stay with God’s Allness.

Bad Guys or False Perception

All over the world it appears that the governments of many nations are corroding. Self-centered, inept, divisive, dishonest and greedy leaders are running and ruining these governments. What you and I have to do is get rid of the seemingly bad guys. Again, it’s a matter of Consciousness.

In the Holy Bible, God says, “And let us make man after our image and likeness.” This is the first verse that hints at the divinity of man – generic man. Man, when rightly perceived, is just what God is. Every identity is Love, Light, Intelligence and Perfection in living action. Any other type of man is a sham. The corrupt, inept, self-centered identity is a distorted perception of the Perfect One.

To get rid of those seemingly corrupt leaders in government is simply correcting your false perception of them. Are you willing? If so, a suggestion of how to proceed will come in the next post. Please stay tuned!
