All the world is a stage and we are merely players. An analogy can be made between the way a traditional football game is played and the way political upheaval is orchestrated in our world. It seems that in both instances, there are two teams, and they both have a goal. Examining the social and economic world we see unfolding around us, is very similar to watching a football game. The football game that we are viewing features two opposing sides, but all of the players are wearing the same color uniform. Imagine playing in a game such as this, when you do not know who the opposition is. They look like you. They dress like you. One of the teams represents humanity. The other team represents to oppressors of humanity. In our game, humanity is on defense and the oppressors are on offense. You and I are on humanitys team and one thing that we really know is that the evil cabal have had the ball for almost the entire game. It has been a very long event. The dynamics of any football game are such that the team with the ball, is at a distinct advantage. They are trying to move the ball to force their agenda. They huddle. They formulate a plan. They know what is coming and the defense does not have a clue. The defense is forced to REACT to everything that unfolds before them. The problem is that by the time the defense figures out who to tackle, the dust has already settled and the play is over. When the offense has the ball for too long, the defense becomes extremely tired. Like all things in life, everything eventually balances out. The offense has become complacent. They become reckless. They begin to think that the game is too easy. They do not want to get dirty anymore. No sense in spilling a drop of blood. On the defensive side of the ball, something amazing has been happening. Their physical bodies are almost spent, but they have been using their minds to unravel the puzzle. They realize that when the ball appears to go left, it is really going right. They get really good at looking at history for behavioral clues. They get extremely proficient at reading lips and watching eyes move. At first only a few of them figured out the signals, but now they are informing the rest of the players how to decode the formation. The game clock is at the two-minute warning. The cosmic clock is one minute to midnight. When everyone least expected it, the offense took their eyes off the ball. They fumbled it away and now they no longer have it. The defense took it away. Now you and I have the ball and we are on their side of the field. What was the offense is now defense and vice-versa. They are not used to chasing the ball. Expending energy. They are frantically rushing on every play. Grasping for shoestring tackles. What they once coveted is not so easy to get back. They do not have any timeouts left. They are frantically waving and signaling to their coach, but he isn't answering any more. You see, this is the way the game of life works. When you believe in yourself, God always delivers in the clutch for the righteous. Satan will be your coach as long as things are going his way. Based on the way things are about to go down, I'm thinking he is already looking for another team.

We all have “belief systems”. They started when we were very young and we listened to the opinions of people that were very important to us. They were our parents, our teachers, and even our friends. A father would come home from work and say "Those Republicans are insane. Everyone knows the Democrats are for the unions. The blue-collar workers and the unions built this country". A mother might say "We had a knock on the door today. A man was wanting to come inside and discuss why I should convert to his religion. Doesn't he know we are Catholic”? Belief systems start at a very young age, on the very impressionable. By the time we are young men and women, we have been exposed to so many ideologies that they seem to make us who we are. As a matter of fact, we cannot identify with anything else that is beyond our "programming". Any attempt to discount what we believe to be the truth is an attack on our personal being. If this planet is going to survive some of the truths that are quickly rising to the surface, it will need a society of men and woman that have a new-found characteristic. When we are shown a new piece of information - something that we have never been exposed to before - but it resonates in our heart as valid, then we can accept it as truth. Exhibiting this characteristic means that many will have the ability to cast off decades of "belief" like a snake shedding its skin. Those that can do this will be the ones that will change the world. Because the only way to transform this world into one of love and peace, is to discount everything we ever knew before. Change is on the horizon.
