Pain and the Bill of Rights

Pain and the Bill of Rights
By RML

You see, if we have a problem, it would be that we are not aware of what has been taken from us. Because we are not experiencing the actual pain from the actual event (like using a local, and in some cases, general, anesthetic to block pain) we fail to feel, sense, or see what is happening to us.

Is there any hard and fast statistical data that shows the percentage of Americans on meds which dull, anesthetize, or block various physical and psychological pain? I don’t know, somewhere I’m sure there is. But it would seem there is a correlation between the percentage of Americans who are medicated and the percentage of Americans who see nothing wrong with what is happening to what our Forefathers bequeathed to us, with their lives and sacred freedoms.

I would imagine that a case could also be shown that the percentage of Americans who use strictly "natural" (i.e., not pharmaceutical) remedies for pain and long-term malaise, would equal the percentage of people (for numerical explanation purposes) who are currently experiencing the pain of loss, the loss of our core morality. And, what is this core morality?

America, divinely inspired (yes, by a “Christianity” that present-day Christians would, without objection, burn-at-the-stake), was created as a society that would not, could not, revert back to what had plagued the Western World since the days of Hammurabi.

You remember the Code of Hammurabi: the earliest set of laws initiated in the hell-hole we are creating in modern-day Iraq. It was all about cause and effect: you commit a crime, you pay for it. This was Babylonian Law, for better or worse it has been with mankind since 1780 BC.

And, around 1780 AD, the Founding Fathers, after three thousand years of elitist abuse of the basic laws of behavior, came up with a conglomerate codification that would set the stage for the equality of mankind. Yes, they had slaves, yes they were basically the aristocracy of the Colonies. But among them, there was enough foresight to demand the placement of the Bill of Rights into the Constitution. If it were not for these Jeffersonian initiatives, the new American Constitution would have quickly degenerated back into a system of aristocratic exploitation. Read the Constitution — without the Bill of Rights — what do you have? A garden variety set of rules and regs to maintain a status quo with force, money or religion.

The Bill of Rights set a new standard, a new code of ethics and morals, that spoke to the requirements of goodness. Take the time
to read them. They were given to you as a hard-earned gift by enlightened souls who declared their independence — not from a British Monarchy — but from thousands of years of monarchies, and eons of religious determinism. When they signed their name to it, they signed their death warrant. When was the last time you took a stand like that for the betterment of your fellow man?

Some of the Founding Fathers saw to it that the base inclinations of man could be thwarted when (not if) avarice, dishonesty, wickedness, and all the other indications of the base and self-absorbed centralization of government creeps in. The use of the phrase enemies foreign and domestic meant exactly that. When the government no longer serves the people, but the people are forced to serve it, the Bill of Rights gave us the Right and the DUTY, to expel these interlopers from our midst.

So, how do you KNOW that there are interlopers in our midst? That we are living and working for the government, not the other way around? How do you know? The only way to know if and when requires a sense of goodness, of decency, and to regard the Bill of Rights as a checklist. If our (our meaning anyone of us citizens) basic Freedoms are being curtailed, withheld or removed, we are no longer living in the Republic for which the Bill of Rights stands. And, it was understood at the Founding, and for many years afterwards, that the PAIN of experiencing oppression, or the absence of the gifts inherent in the Bill of Rights, would cause an uprising; actions to throw the yoke off. The Founding Fathers assumed that living without the yoke was of a sufficient positive moral experience that oppression would not be tolerated. They realized intuitively one of the maxims of Behaviorism: taking away causes the greatest pain.

So what has happened? Why have we passively allowed the current systematic neutralizing of our inalienable Bill of Rights? Where’s the reaction? There is very little reaction because it appears that whatever medications we are collectively on has deaden our sensitivities to the soul-pain that we should be feeling. We are anesthetizing not only the pain, but we are blocking out the ability to see the cause of the pain.
Ignoring or desensitizing ourselves to Natural Law does not suspend Its operation. The sowing has been done, it’s time now for the reap.
