Ideologies are:
- 1.a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy."the ideology of republicanism"
- 2.ARCHAICthe science of ideas; the study of their origin and nature.
As defined by the Oxford dictionary. They are personal and adoptable and can be adapted to become personal. That is why they often separate us. They rarely stay the same but become our personal persona. We become separated as they come in conflict with other's ideologies. Conflict can result when they are rigid and unbending or just plain untenable. The persona becomes the "me" that does not see beyond self. The result is the loss of our dreams and the anguish of not having them realized. Anger, hatred and all manner of negative things result. Our world is steeped in self and little is focused on ALL. If everyone saw everyone else as unique and special, as part of the greater whole, there would be no unknown to great to realize. All things would be at hand to explore and share. God's plan on earth would be fulfilled. We would be His example to others and complete in Him.
These many months past have been hard to impossible to post on any kind of schedule. I have switched providers and it would appear the spotty connection that was part of the aging infrastructure of the old ADSL service was the sole cause of all of the problems. It is nice to sit at the keyboard and not have to worry that my service will suddenly disappear for hours at a time. At a time of having to isolate due to the COVID virus, complete isolation is a difficult pill to swallow.
I will attempt to post on a more regular time frame if this new service proves reliable. Only God's blessings and time will tell. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to Love The Details.
Good to see you posting again, Jim. Glad you now have a better provider. Look after yourself, stay well, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGood to see you here Jim - and yes, you are correct, if we all looked outward and not inward, making ourselves demi-gods, the world would certainly be a different place. Our Christianity practivced as Jesus modelled should transform society.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more of you and enjoying your posts
Stay safe
