Today on Inner Vision with Michael Benner, we examine the American Dream and discuss ethical and spiritual alternatives to its selfish, material underpinnings. That's Inner Vision with Michael Benner, Fridays at 1:00 PM on KPFK, 90.7-FM.

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. – John F. Kennedy

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because it is generally held or written in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. – Buddha

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as we know we are not the material stuff we own, most spiritually-oriented people understand they are, in reality, much more than their physical appearance. Yet many of us cannot distinguish between behavior and identity, especially when our emotional buttons have been pushed.

One of the most important concepts in parenting, I think, is disciplining a child with an understanding that because you love them, you are disappointed or upset with their behavior. And it is because they are loved that you will impose an appropriate consequence. In other words, instead of saying, “You are bad,” say, “Because I love you, I must help you develop better judgment and behavior.” Rarely do parents make such distinctions clearly, so children often feel they are somehow defective or bad people instead of having simply misbehaved.

I had another visit from the Spirit Police on my KPFK-FM show Friday. Without questions or any other attempt to understand whether her assumptions about my guest were true, she scolded him for his intolerance and judgmental nature.

The self-appointed Spirit Police have attacked me before — for “judging” George W. Bush for sending our children to war in Iraq based on deliberate lies. They called me a hypocrite for judging TV Evangelical Pat Robertson’s call for the assassination of Venezuela’s democratically elected President. I was even criticized recently for using spiritual themes to defend African-American children from ex-Drug Czar Bill Bennett’s idea of crime prevention.

Would Rosa Parks have been a more spiritual person if she’d compassionately moved to the back of the bus? Or was it, in fact, her compassion for the descendants of slaves who still suffer from “Christian” racists that made her so defiant? Should the thirsty and sick masses stranded in New Orleans by FEMA obediently practice acceptance and forgiveness or salvage whatever water and food they could from flooded markets, though the news people call it “looting?”

Patiently tolerating cruelty and injustice could not possibly please any God I can imagine. We have not only the right, but the responsibility to condemn the behavior of hostile, violent people. The admonition "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." (Matt. 7:1) refers to judging an individual as worthy of redemption or not. It does not mean we should not judge their mortal thoughts, feelings, speech, and behavior.

Let’s be clear. We must judge others, especially our so-called leaders. But we must judge them for what they say and do, without judging their identity as Souls incarnate — whether the Spirit Police understand the distinction or not.

Meditation Music Soothes Stress

September 4, 2005

If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.
— George W. Bush (1946 - )

No shame, no contrition, a total denial of responsibility, and not a single heartfelt apology — what more evidence does anyone need that the U.S. federal government and the mega-corporate interests it represents are led by soulless creatures? The suffering of the impoverished Americans living along the Gulf Coast is more the result of the Faustian Bargain made by Democrats and Republicans alike than any hurricane or flood.

The tragedy that has befallen the poor people who had no means of evacuation is a disaster on at least three levels. In the most obvious sense, it is a disaster of wind and water. President Bush calls it a “natural” disaster and insists the breech of the levees was unforeseeable. More lies from the Master of Deceit.

In recent years, Scientific American and National Geographic magazines have published extensive articles detailing this very scenario. In 2002, the New Orleans daily newspaper, The Times Picyuane published an award-winning, five-part series called “Washing Away” in which it predicted, “Amid this maelstrom, the estimated 200,000 or more people left behind in an evacuation will be struggling to survive. Some will be housed at the Superdome, the designated shelter in New Orleans for people too sick or infirm to leave the city. Others will end up in last-minute emergency refuges that will offer minimal safety. But many will simply be on their own, in homes or looking for high ground.

“Thousands will drown while trapped in homes or cars by rising water. Others will be washed away or crushed by debris. Survivors will end up trapped on roofs, in buildings or on high ground surrounded by water, with no means of escape and little food or fresh water, perhaps for several days.” (Full series is posted at: http://www.nola.com/hurricane/?/washingaway/ )

Secondly, Katrina has exposed the long-standing injustices of poverty and racism in the U.S., especially in the Heart of Dixie. Southern gentlemen still rape the women and lynch the men of color, but in less obvious ways. Their failure, decade after decade, to address widespread hunger, homelessness, unemployment, and education in any meaningful way is criminal. Even before Katrina struck land a week ago, fully 50-percent of the children in New Orleans lived in poverty. Racism, personal and institutional, reinforces the cycles of poverty generation after generation.

But on an even more fundamental level, America has pursued the ethic of self-interest to the virtual exclusion of community-interest in the “greater good.” Somehow burgeoning federal deficits and Orwellian assaults on human rights are promoted by those who object to the excesses of big government and big spenders. And so there’s plenty of money for war, corporate welfare, and tax cuts for the richest one percent, but little or nothing for those who most need help.

And so the ultimate crisis is cultural. Will the selfish, arrogant, ugly American prevail in his self-interest and materialism? Or will those of conscience restore balance to a nation born of a vision of equality in human rights and opportunities? How can the United States promote democracy abroad when it fails so miserably at home?

In storm-ravaged areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, white people “salvage” needed supplies of food and water, yet people of color are officially targeted as “looters.” There’s been some debate in the media about the appropriateness of calling the Gulf Coast evacuees “refugees.” Maybe we should all begin to think of ourselves simply as “insurgents.”

Katrina, Poverty and Racism --- Three Disasters in One

This week on KPFK's Friday Inner Vision program, Michael discusses the long-standing disaster of poverty and racism in the United States compounded now by one of the biggest hurricanes in history.

Narcissists -- the new American Idol

2005-08-19T11:11:00.000-07:00

They can be charming but manipulative "control freaks." They're willing to lie, cheat, and steal in their search for evermore power and control. They can be serial killers, rapists or pedaphiles. Increasingly, they are CEO's, media pundits, and politicians.

They are the "Narcissists" ... a growing phenomenon in our culture that honors materialism, greed, and the appearance of success.

Cindy Sheehan Reveals the Naked Truth

2005-08-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

Rarely has there been a better example of the story about the emporer wearing no clothes. George W. Bush's repeated lies, forged documents, and dirty tricks have, especially since the Downing Street Minutes were released, revealed him to be nothing more than an arrogant narcissist. And now, Cindy Sheehan has him so frightened that the same man who shouted, "Bring 'em on" now cowers in the presence of one who seeks only the Truth --- what is the Noble Cause?

Cindy Sheehan has become a hero of mine. She's King and Gandhi. When she speaks I hear angels sing. Yet the boneheads in the media only see partisan politics.

Along the dusty road leading to Bush's ranch in Crawford, the Power of Truth, Love, and Compassion is pulling back the Matrix of Lies that is the Neo-Con agenda for the Middle East. Cindy's presence is like Dorothy melting the wicked witch with water (spirit/emotion/Love). In fact, Cindy is turning water into wine before our very eyes.

Too many allegories? No, there aren't enough in all the literature ever written. This is a momentous point in history --- the summer Americans en masse refused to ignore any longer the grossly false premises of everything Mr. Bush and his cronies stand for.

Help me pray for Cindy's glorious mission. Peace, M.B.
