Have you ever wondered why impoverished nations remain in poverty, without prospects for a brighter future?

Or why battered wives stay with abusive husbands and remain submissive?

Or why seemingly powerful nations collapse, break apart, and fade away?

Is it due to ignorance? Missteps and miscalculations based on perceived conquests and illusions, rather than building bridges to innovation?

What is the real problem?

Are the issues so overwhelming and relationships so broken that there are no solutions?

Or is it the people? Are those individuals so broken, depressed, or sinful that redemption seems impossible?

What's happening?

What is truly happening?

What do you see?

Can you see beyond the mundane, facades, masks, and labels to understand the currents and waves that intersect the physical and metaphysical worlds?

Do you believe in the force within, described in Star Wars as the omnipresent, metaphysical energy field created by every living being?

Let's look beyond the dual nature of the light side (peace, compassion, knowledge) and the dark side (anger, fear, aggression) to the divine and spiritual laws that determine the final judgment—heaven, hell, or purgatory.

Although the force, when engaged, can be in light, dark, or gray, the conscience, the inner sense of morality, cannot.

The conscience is the moral compass.  When clear, it always points to the truth and the light of the holy. When corrupted, it no longer guides but consumes the soul, which becomes rotted and imprisoned behind sins, in guilt.

The heart is another key, along with the conscience, weighing on the scales of final judgment.

When the heart is pure and clear, insight is also pure and clear, enabling the individual to see the Lord and connect unencumbered to the Holy.

However, when the heart is impure, connection and insights to the Holy become impossible, and emotional stability is severely hindered and damaged, leading to the corruption and destruction of the fruit of the Spirit from within.

Once character—the indicators of how one might use the force within—toward peace, love, and light, or fear, aggression, and darkness—is damaged, corrupted, and destroyed, the force can be misused for malicious intent, misdeeds, and unholy harm.

Though the abuser of the force, provoking harm, and feeding the insatiable beast of fear and aggression may feel invincible in their delight in unholy evil, the midi-chlorian count remains the same, as does the IQ level.

In other words, Darth Maul at 12,000 midi-chlorian levels does not suddenly become more powerful than Yoda at 18,000, even if he is intoxicated with power and causing harm.

Additionally, when abusing the force, emotional intelligence and the ability to objectively see, read, and analyze are greatly diminished, along with discernment and understanding.  The process of applying knowledge wisely is overridden by selfish gains and unholy power trips, reducing sensitivity.

Ultimately, final judgment and salvation are determined by the Lord, based on the heart and soul, as well as the deeds of each individual, not on how much force they can produce.

What truly happens to the conscience, heart, and soul of a person when using the force for good or evil shapes their spiritual journey and determines how they will be sorted into heaven, purgatory, or hell.

Who is the true enemy? 

Satan is the true adversary, particularly when recruiting individuals into sins of the flesh, hatred, and excessive desire for power, which culminate in crimes against humanity.

Any force that destroys or deteriorates the fruit of the Spirit within an individual obstructs their spiritual journey and ultimately jeopardizes their salvation. 

This act ultimately involves forsaking the Lord, neglecting His commandments, and failing to serve both the Lord and humanity.

You cannot serve both love and fear and expect heavenly results. If you choose to serve Satan then do not expect salvation because the result will be damnation and destruction of your soul.

Can we make dreams come true?

Yes, we can. We can even turn nightmares into reality. But why would we choose hell on earth over heaven, which represents ignorance and self-defeat?

Can we make lies come true?

No, lies, deception, and fraud can never be true. You may believe those lies and be fooled or hoodwinked, but lies and falsehoods remain false and fraudulent, not the truth.

Living a lie prevents us from fulfilling our purpose and calling in life. Without a purposeful life, our existence lacks meaning beyond the mundane.

Building foundations on lies or worse sins of harm and misdeeds will not be strong, sturdy, sustainable, or lasting.

Building your life on lies, sins, and harm is more destructive, harmful, and damning.

We are called to build an everlasting life with the Lord, filled with love and peace that nurture our relationships with the Lord, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as well as with humanity.

Without a strong connection with the Lord and the Holy Spirit, we cannot properly nurture the fruit of the Spirit or wisely navigate life's trials and tribulations.

Can you find real prosperity in lies, deception, or Ponzi schemes? Robbing Peter to pay Paul does not create genuine wealth or progress. It does nothing to increase true prosperity or innovation.

Can you find true salvation in lies and sins?

Despite what unholy, unrepentant sinners might tell you, can hearts full of hate and depravity see the Lord, receive salvation, and enter Heaven's Gate?

Forgiveness based on the character of the victim has nothing to do with the character of the perpetrator, who remains unrepentant and sinful. The victim's salvation, free of sin, has nothing to do with the perpetrator’s damnation.

Perpetrators treating the victim as an object rather than as an individual child of God, belonging to the Lord, is damning and unholy.

Love, respect, honor, dignity, and decency are key principles of living a spiritual life and are vital to maintaining holy connections to the Holy Spirit and ultimately receiving salvation in the end.

In the end, will you be able to see the Lord, receive salvation, and enter Heaven's Gate?

Without love, respect (for the Lord's creations), honor, dignity, and decency, and redemption for sinners, it would be impossible to see the Lord, receive salvation, and enter Heaven's Gate (Matthew 5:8, 1 John 3:2, Ephesians 2:8-9, Matthew 18:3, John 3:5).

Euripides

 

Euripides, the ancient Greek tragedian, often explored the darker side of greatness, frequently cautioning that it is inherently fragile and brings no lasting profit to those who possess it.*

Key Themes on Greatness in His Works

Euripides' perspectives on greatness typically revolve around its instability and the heavy price one pays for it: *

Fragility and Ruin: He observed that "greatness brings no profit to people" because the gods often bring "greater ruin to great men’s houses" when they are angered.*

Insecurity: He famously asked what could be trusted in an uncertain life, noting that "happiness, greatness, pride – nothing is secure, nothing keeps".*

The Power of Balance: Instead of striving for extreme greatness, he recommended keeping a "balance in your life" and acknowledging the great powers both around and within you as the mark of a truly wise person.*

Effort and Excellence: While wary of greatness, he acknowledged that "virtue proceeds through effort" and that it is foolish to desire great results without putting in the necessary work. *
