First Read – Part1: “The Problem” – The Ferguson Missouri and New York City Police Killings

Is rioting and looting the solution? Of course, it sends a message, but is the message the solution? Would it be safe to say that two wrongs don’t make it right? Therefore, the rioting and looting may not be the solution to the problem. What about marching, is that the solution to the problem? Since it is also a way of sending a message, however, is it really the solution to the problem?

What is the problem, injustice? Yes, injustice is a problem and it needs to be addressed and corrected. Therefore, marching and protesting is a very good way of showing disapproval of the law or lack of law. However, the urban community has many other important issues that also need to be addressed, such as gang violence and black on black crime.

Young black males are killing one another at a far greater rate than white police, but it seems not to be contested in the black community. No one is marching throughout the country about the black on black crime spree that is going on in urban America. It would only make sense that when we are out marching and protesting for justice that we have two signs, one for stopping the ignorance of injustice and one protesting for urban black youth to stop the ignorance of killing one another.

There is a valuable spiritual message and lesson to be learned from the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and others, as well as the deaths of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wen Jian Liu. The message is much deeper than most people comprehend; it is about the evolution of our souls and where we are headed as humanity.  

The message is a cry to put spirituality or God in the education system. However, the world does not hear or understand this cry for change. People are hurting spiritually and hurt people hurt other people. If we do not change, we are going to experience increased crime, violence, terrorism and additional negativity.

The bible also gives us deeper insight to the cause of the problem when it says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” [Hosea 4:6 KJV]

We are here to learn to love; however, the system that we live in has a different agenda. The system’s agenda is money, power and control. The bible gives us a clue when it states, “For the love of money is the root of all evil…” [1 Timothy 6:10 KJV] 

The problem lies in the fact that the Elite Founders of this country who were highly astute in the psychology of deception and business, created an education system mainly for self-serving reasons, such as money, power and control. Their curriculum was not designed to enlighten, inspire and empower students to discover their wisdom, reach their potential and achieve total success. The system was created for the financial success or massive wealth of the Elite.

The system deceives people to believe that intellectual education or going to academic school is the key to success. Even though this is half-truth at best, many people have accepted this limited perception as their reality.

The dream that the system is perpetrating is that academic education is the key. Therefore, go to school, get a job, buy a home and go in debt. This philosophy of life is centered on getting a job and not on helping one reach the creative potential that God gave them to manifest their dream.

Furthermore, the system is biased towards intellectual brainpower and not on accessing divine wisdom. There are several different types of intelligences; however, the education system is only tailored for the academically smart student. If the person is gifted with other intelligence beyond that which the current system understands, the system is not set up to help discover and nurture it. This is the case with spiritual intelligence; the current system is spiritually ignorant to deal with this advanced form of evolution.

Therefore, children with un-nurtured spiritual intelligence (gifts) often find academic school difficult and uninteresting. As a result, less academically intellectual smart students struggle to try to keep up, often getting left behind.The embarrassment of seeming to be academically dumb causes school dropouts. As a result, they are forced to find their way in life without any education; therefore, few succeed and many fail to reach there full true potential.

Many of these children are some of the most talented, creative and gifted souls on the planet. However, they have a hard time with the intellectual curriculum of success that the school system is teaching. Often times, they feel as an outcast and turn to unlawful means as a way of surviving in a world that they don’t seem to have any hope in being successful any other way.

All students are intelligent in their own way and have the divine potential or wisdom that is given to them for the purpose of creating happiness, good health and prosperity in life or total success. However, it is not the objective of the current education system to help empower students to discover their potential or wisdom.

The current education system does not teach about the spirit of love, human potential and total success achievement. The curriculum was designed for the purpose of educating people for jobs. It was not designed to teach people the truth about their purpose and how to use their divine wisdom to prevent and overcome challenges and achieve total happiness and success.

Without being properly educated about life, we are more vulnerable to the negative influence of the world and less guided by God or our wisdom. Therefore, there will always be the type police that use unnecessary excessive force and shoot suspects sometimes unjustifiably; because they themselves have not been educated properly. Also, there will always be those who choose to become criminals and wind up killing police, hurting people, in jail or dead; because they themselves have not been educated properly.

This negativity that the world is experiencing is the symptoms or byproduct of “lack of knowledge” about the spirit of love, unity, happiness and success; which is the essence of the wisdom of spiritual transformational education.

It is said that, “education is the key and knowledge is power,” however, most people see this great truth only from an intellectual perspective based on academic education and knowledge from going to an academically focused school system. Little do they know that there is a more inspirational meaning to this saying “education is the key and knowledge is power.”

At the core all of the crime, violence, hatred, racism, injustice and other negativity is a cry for spiritual transformational education which is the key to the wisdom of unity, love, happiness and success for all.

Spiritual Transformational Education is teachings inspired by God. It is used for the purpose of total success or renewing the mind. In turn, these teachings facilitates a mind renewal that opens up the channel to the connection to the divine wisdom and power necessary to create a reality of peace, joy, happiness, love, prosperity and good health.

Furthermore, it is the self-improvement process of identifying and removing unconscious beliefs, whether personal, religious, political or cultural that is blocking or limiting your success or abundance in every area of your life. It bridges the gap that separates man from the divine wisdom and guidance necessary to achieve a happy, successful and fulfilling life.

Jesus spoke about it over 2,000 years ago when he said, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God.” [Romans 12:2 KJV]

Additionally, when Jesus said, “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free,” [John 8:32 KJV] he continued to provide loving guidance to his followers.

In order to fix a problem, first you have to identify it for what it truly is. Believe it or not, the cops killing presumably innocent blacks, the injustice of not prosecuting police for using illegal aggressive or deadly force and the black on black crime is not the problem. These are symptoms of the problem.

All of these issues are the byproduct of not being properly educated about the wisdom of a life of love, unity, happiness and success. In other words, it is the byproduct of the lack of spirituality or lack of God in the current education system. The ramifications are the negativity that we are experiencing in the world.

We must realize that the poverty, crime, police brutality and injustice that is going on all across America is not the problem, but the symptoms of a much deeper problem; namely, a lack of spiritual transformational education. Spiritual Education can also be known as putting God in the education system. When we teach children the truth about success and their human/spiritual potential, it inspires them to have faith and changes their whole mindset or perception of reality.

The only solution to the negativity or crime, hatred, racism and violence is God and truth. The only way to access the solution is by way of spiritual transformational education. The solution is education reform; the education system has to change its focus to spiritual development and inspiring children to reach their potential first and foremost.

Were the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Rafael Ramos, Wenjian Liu and others in vain? Or, will we heed the message that leads us to the solution?

Many enlightened souls have returned to earth to facilitate this paradigm shift or education transformation that is necessary to put the world back on track for the blessed and beautiful times ahead in the fifth dimension.

In life, everyone wants to be happy, healthy, prosperous and successful. I think that it would be hard pressed to find someone in their right mind that would not accept that kind of life. It is vital to empower children with the truth about life and success centered on understanding their potential, believing in themselves, having faith, dreams and goals. Also, it is mandatory for children to learn how to find their purpose, use their brain and powerful mind to create a happy, healthy, prosperous and abundantly blessed life if humanity is to evolve.

Spiritual Transformational Education puts us in the flow and opens our hearts to the universal energy of love or wisdom, which deliver us from evil and guides us to total success.

In order for America to be a great country, standing for love, liberty, justice, happiness, prosperity and success for all, we are going to have to transform the current education system and incorporate the wisdom of a life of total success.

We are going to have to put each student in the mindset to believe that they are born to be successful and create the learning environment to support it. If our government, community leaders and the citizens truly want the negativity to eventually stop and the world to be a better place, we are going to have to make Spiritual Transformational Education our number one priority.

When we transform the student’s minds and open their hearts to the divine wisdom that “all things are possible” is when we will begin to eradicate the evil and injustice in the world. Our school system will be built upon teaching love, unity, and total success with the help of divine wisdom, rather than mostly on logical left brain thinking.

Yes, it will be hard for many leaders to accept this new education system, because the spirit of the world does not want change. However, they will eventually bow down to their ego and greed or selfishness for the benefit of the evolution of humanity or be moved out of the way of progress by life.

If we do not learn the spiritual lessons that life is giving us, we are not going to advance to the levels of joy and happiness that we are here to experience. If we live our lives based on race, religion, politics or dependency of man, we are going to miss the opportunity to experience life “on earth as it is in heaven.” 

However, if we live our life based on love, we are going to create an abundantly blessed and beautiful world. So, what is the solution to the problem in Ferguson Missouri, New York City and elsewhere in the world? The solution is God and love or Spiritual Transformational Education.

To the current government and education system, let us not let the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Rafael Ramos, Wenjian Liu and others go in vain. Let’s put Spiritual Transformation Education as our highest priority and allocate the funds to start implementing it into our education system.

For the rest of us, let’s realize that God or spiritual awakening and transformation is the only reason we are in the body and here on earth. God is love and the solution. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?
