THE LOST I AM..

Trump and Pence are Subjective presidents (a new breed) and Biden is an Objective President.

Trump and Pence want to restore a Lost Center — Trump through his personal will, Pence through the Will of Jesus. Biden is a mechanic who just wants to fix the machine through the tools of government.

Trump and Pence want to fix the machine by shifting power to the Unque Chosen individual, i.e. Trump or Jesus. These two individuals are above the Law, and have come to fulfill the Law. Biden wants to abide in the law and make it work.

Trump and Pence see the world subjectively as a world savior: Biden sees it objectively as a scientist. Trump and Pence see Government as the enemy of the People, and Biden sees government as a friend. Trump and Pence are the Rebellious sons against the father (government), and Biden is the Good Son.

Trump and Pence have staked out their own dominions. Trump rules the secular dominion, and Pence gets the religious dominion. For Trump and Pence, history is moved by heroic individuals; Auocrats and Jesus. Biden sees only one dominion, not two, the modern rational empirical world of cause and effect where God chosen has no power.

Descartes split reality into two dominions; Religion and Science. Value and Function. Religion takes care of values, and science takes care of the operation. Trump and Pence have usurped Descate’s Split by making Relion or worship of the Personal One a value operating system. What’s good for the Center is good for the wheel. America in their view is a chariot with two wheels, One Trump (or Great Leader) and the other Jesus or the church.

Descartes separated religion from secular science and ended the Middle Ages where they were one. But by taking away the power of the church over science, he made science more powerful than religion. If you want something done, ask science, not God.

But a world run by science alone, is a world without value and meaning. Science will give you more comfort, but not a reason to get off your easy chair. For that you need a cause, you need value. So Trump and Pence come to restore value, but not in you alone, but in you attached to them.

Do you see the problem? Trump, Pence, and Biden want to restore value in the world out there, but you are just a ghost in the machine no matter which wagon or world you get in. You are being hauled around by a world believed in, and you cannot stop the nagging feeling that you are a victim, that you are being created and conditioned by external forces.

You are the Lost Center. You are the lost Creator. You are the lost I AM…Ask the inconvenient question: Who am I?

No matter which angle of this Trinity — Trump, Pence, Biden — you believe in, you are not what you think you are. The Chariot of Duality is ambiguous. One moment you driving

God’s Chariot of Fire, and the next moment you are in a wooden wagon going to the guillotine.

If you think this is a political piece, you are wrong. This is a Zen Fit that is pointing away from the Chariot of Duality, the Catch 22 where yes is no and no is yes.

I AM is beyond duality, You are beyond definition. But you must see through the illusion of the Chariot of Duality where everything is its own opposite.
