You will never conquer your enemies by force. Only when they have become a part of yourself will you see the way.
Walls and fences create ignorance and fear.
Let down the defense and realize it was never needed.
I have read through this entire commentary.
I appreciate all views.
If Adam Kokesh is a snake, let him join the league of snakes.
We all receive what we are here to receive, and the righteous are often unheard and without witness of their acts.
Those that choose to stand on the human stage before all the others will never speak for the whole if they speak for a few. If Adam speaks for Libertarians or Anarchists or Communists or Socialists, it won't matter, because the Muslims and the Lakota will disagree. Point being that no result will appease everyone, but Peace in one is a result that benefits everyone.
My feelings were never hurt by someone disagreeing with me. My will never wilted due to someone dissenting. I only ever was inspired to change when someone was able to provide suitable reproof and shared it with Loving Kindness.
Fighting your enemy in anger will feed oil to the fire.
Sharing a meal with the same person and caring for them deeply, despite the wrongs perceived will open the door for them to hear what you have to say.
Only when they feel you Love them will they be able to comprehend your words.
If their is only time for slander, it will go in one direction, then another, and finally it will spill on everyone.
A passionate man is nearly always willing to fight die for his beliefs.
A wise man waits and listens. Belief never forms. Death comes to us all. How we live matters most.
I would ask this, from the extent I perceive the issue here...
I have known Kenny for some time. I support him in his mission to create awareness and spread wellbeing to the people.
Anyone who steps onto the stage will please some and displease others.
My commentary is this...
A man had a leak in his roof. He noticed it one day and saw the drip...drip...drip... coming from above his sink. He decided it was not so bad. He really did not need to worry about it.
A short time passed, and he saw the drip had become a steady stream. He said to himself... This really isn't so bad anyway, it goes straight into the sink..
A while more passed, and he saw that the stream had become engorged, and he could see the crack in the ceiling, where the rain was coming in. He said to himself, I will get to it later.
The next day the man woke up to a Thunderstorm, and as he looked around his home, he saw water pouring in from many places, and his home had become flooded.
What the man did not attend to right away was understanding why the leak had been created. He rather chose to ignore it. If he had giving it his attention right away, he would have noticed the termites that worked their way around the entire house.
Moral: Even a small stone in ones shoe can damage the spine, if it is not removed.
The act of a lesser evil for a greater good... perhaps for one willing to compromise with karma.
None of this is to say you are. Just good things.
Have we met? My name is Haji.
I have met Adam and had some convos. Honesty in action... I do not like him. That is, I do not wish to hang out or smoke a hookah with him. That being said, I promote FREEDOM! I think the book is a great doorway for spreading awareness.
I have no hate or other strong expression for Adam. I think he is another person attempting to create a better planet. How we go about this is different for everyone. If he creates a false persona or personification of the ideal anarchist or libertarian or whatever else, well that is not very difficult. A pure anarchist is hard to find. Someone willing to put their neck on the line... That is also hard to find. If you simply watch and wait, usually the entity that builds itself a big tower on a weak foundation will crumble of its own accord. A lie requires only a gentle breeze to be undone... but it often takes just a bit of time to become just big enough to die.
It seems to me, again in my scope of perception, that you are dedicating quite a bit of time to Adam. This would, in the realm of physics and simple observation describe an attitude of feeding ones desires. The nature of this is that no person has ever done anything that did not fulfill some part of them in desire or need.
What is the reason for giving so much attention to Adam?
Is the result of the attention being given measurably affecting the situation to produce a desirable outcome?
If the attention given to Adam were redirected, could it be used in a more efficient way to produce the outcome desired?
Slander and Forceful/Aggressive behavior sounds very politic.
Often that which we fight, we become. If you want to kill a snake, you will often have to find the den. That is a dangerous place. Only few can withstand torment of oppressive systems and spiritual warfare without compensation to degrees. If you are one to question, perhaps you are one to cut the head off the snake as well. But without a team of diverse perspectives and impressionable influencers, what will become of us who wish to reach all people and not just those who see what we see?
Who is pure my friend?
Who can remain free of stain?
I have found very few indeed.
Infinite Blessings and Unconquerable Love!
