Over the past few years, I’ve watched some interesting things going on concerning political figures and the USA’s governmental system in general. As an FYI, this is not a political post. However, I would like to challenge our current definition of political correctness.
It's been awhile since this article was posted on another site so there are a few new pieces I'll add here for clarification that weren't in the original article. First, let's start with a definition of what political correctness really is...
Directly from the Encyclopedia Britannica, we read that the "term used to refer to language that seems intended to give the least amount of offense, especially when describing groups identified by external markers such as race, gender, culture, or sexual orientation. The concept has been discussed, disputed, criticized, and satirized by commentators from across the political spectrum. The term has often been used derisively to ridicule the notion that altering language usage can change the public’s perceptions and beliefs as well as influence outcomes."
Although I don't like Wikipedia because it's often not accurate (because people can go in and change things), I'm providing some information from them as well. Wikipedia's current definition is very similar to that of Encyclopedia Britannica but in their second paragraph, they add some interesting comments that say, "The phrase politically correct first appeared in the 1930s, when it was used to describe dogmatic adherence to ideology in totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.[5] Early usage of the term politically correct by leftists in the 1970s and 1980s was as self-critical satire;[8] usage was ironic, rather than a name for a serious political movement.[12][13][14] It was considered an in-joke among leftists used to satirise those who were too rigid in their adherence to political orthodoxy.[15] The modern pejorative usage of the term emerged from conservative criticism of the New Left in the late 20th century, with many describing it as a form of censorship."
Our Political Climate
I’m going to flat out state that at least 99% of the junk coming from the political arena flows from the opposite of love. What’s the opposite of love? It’s fear. Fear pretty much drives everything in our current politically correct arena. Why are we bashing and making fun of someone we don’t agree with? Why do we feel it’s necessary to post nasty memes about politicians we dislike or that are crooked? Why do we share news media reports that tout the wrong doings of any politician? It’s the childish behavior of “I told you so!” that makes us do such things. There may be some truth in what’s put out there. But, is it our job to continue spreading this stuff? It does appear that our news media has chosen to side with a favored political party (one party over another). Is anything the news media outlets report truly accurate? What and who do we believe when everyone has their own agenda?
Newsflash! There is no one political party that’s exempt from this.
Our world has become polarized to the point that if you're of a differing party than a family member or friend, many will no longer associate with them. During the 2024 election season, families "cancelled" other family members because of how they voted. Honestly, I find this disturbing. I have friends who have opposite beliefs than I do and we still get along. But, we're mature enough to separate out the politics and religion from other aspects of friendship.
What Does Political Correctness Do To People?
Let's take an example from the Bible of a selfish queen - Jezebel. She brought idol worship into the land of Israel, which went against their belief system. Through a display of the amazing power of God, Elijah called down fire to burn up the alter of the Baal worshipers. Immediately, Jezebel was after Elijah. She never seemed to get it and only became more wicked as her life progressed and was eventually eaten up by dogs after being pushed over a balcony by the people she trusted. She’s the perfect example of what a hard heart does to someone. Her demise came about 20 years after the display of God’s power on Mount Carmel. To read a synopsis of Jezebel, CLICK HERE. Keep this story in mind as we go further into this article.
We should function from a place integrity, not frustation, fear, anxiety or any of their cuddle buddies. Fear makes us do stupid stuff, which is what political correctness does. Why? It causes people to FEAR their actions because of how others will treat them if they say or do the wrong thing. Look again at Jezebel. The people hated her so bad because of her destructive behavior that even her most trusted advisors took matters into their own hands.
Our Divine Creator is NOT a respecter of persons and loves everyone equally despite what we’ve done. Our actions eventually determine our outcome. When we turn from negative actions and begin walking a loving path, that changes the course of our lives. We all have choices. Those choices start with thoughts and intents that then lead to actions. If you've not yet read my article, Thoughts, Intents, Action! check it out. It will explain a bit more what I'm talking about.
The Bible (and other ancient religious texts) say that of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. (Matt. 12:34). There's another scripture that says people will know who God's followers are by how they demonstrate love. (John 13:35). Operating out of the love of God is the strongest possible frequency.
Science says the heart is a greater thinking organ than the brain and since what comes from our heart (our inner self) manifests in our words and actions, people guage their opinions of us by the "aura" around us. You know what that looks like... the person in the line in front of you gives you the creeps or they seem joyful. As we entrain (come into agreement with) and entangle (act upon the agreement) with Perfect Love (the strongest frequency possible), our thoughts, intents and actions release the frequency of love to those around us.
Operating in the Opposite Spirit
If we want to have any effect on a negative political climate, we must learn to operate in the “opposite spirit.” That spirit is love.
Let's take dogs and cats for example. Generally, they don't get along. However, they CAN learn to be around each other and even hang out together. I ask a big question... if they can do it, what can't we? Maybe we could learn a few lessons from our beloved pets.
I’ll share a story concerning my tough lesson in understanding this concept… In a previous job...
I had an abusive boss. She was eventually fired and I got a new boss that I really liked. At some point within the first three months of her ascending to the boss position, she got into fear because her higher-ups basically said I should be fired and the company should start from scratch with all new employees. She then made my life as miserable as possible in hopes that I’d quit. When I didn’t quit, I was invited to a meeting with another boss lady. Every ugly thing possible was said to me over a three-hour period. I’ve never heard such vile accusations against anyone in my life. The long and short of it? We agreed that I’d stay in the position for another four months to finish out my contract. One of the women hated me so much that she couldn’t even look me in the eye. I had every reason to be angry with these women but I chose to not let their stinking thinking get to me. Trust me, it wasn’t easy. After our meeting, every time either of these ladies came to my work place, I welcomed them. I was friendly and cordial every time I saw them. I wasn’t going to let their anger rule me.
It’s now many years after this incident. I heard that some pretty horrible and sad things happened to the main boss lady. The work place fell a part and neither of these women are associated with that company any longer. While they were in power, they had continual problems with the people who held my position. I genuinely felt sadness for both of them, realizing that they were puppets of fear. I never wished ill will on them and I hoped they’d find a resolution to what caused the fear to begin with. I had to learn how to function from a position of love so that I wasn’t feeding the fears.
How does this compare to our current political climate? I believe true political correctness is about operating from a position of love rather than fear.
When we spout off negativity about a political situation or politician, we’re spreading the disease of fear.
When we share a victory of someone’s downfall, we’re spreading the frequency of hate.
When we poke fun at political rivals by sharing meme’s, satirical stories, and jokes that are aimed at degrading them, we’ve agreed with a lie.
These behaviors are "destiny killers" and have not love rooted in them, nor are they politically correct. We must ask ourselves the purpose for doing such things. Is it the “I told you so!” attitude? Or, is it to try and change someone’s mind? Is it to combat something else we’ve seen or heard? Why do we feel it’s our duty to do such things? This is not aimed at any one political party. And, I’m just as guilty as the next person for doing everything I mention above.
What is true political correctness? It’s functioning within the frequency of Love. As we see situations around us that are filled with ickiness, we must learn to go above the principalities and powers that rule what we’re seeing. What we see is only the symptom. In order to find the root cause, we must get to a higher position and see it through the eyes of our Divine Creator who loves everyone.
Side note: If you like the memes in this post, follow me on Instagram where I post a new meme every day.
Conclusion
We must learn to bless those who curse us. We’re instructed to pray for our leaders despite whether we like them or not. (I Tim. 2:2) When we learn to see our leaders as God (who loves everyone the same) sees them, our heart changes. Remember that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. If we’re angry and frustrated with someone, that will come out in our thoughts, intentions, and actions.
Remember Jezebel and my bosses? They chose not to function out of Love. Eventually, that caught up with them. God’s heart is that all will turn towards love and function from that higher frequency – no personal agenda attached. As we learn to operate from that position of Perfect Love, that frequency begins to resonate throughout the atmosphere because it oozes out of us. Those who choose to align themselves with it, change. Those who do not, have a different outcome. We reap what we sow. When we sow love, we reap love. When we sow hate and fear, we reap of its kind.
I encourage those reading this – when you see something come across social media or anything in the news concerning our political climate, decide if sharing demonstrates love. Consider what benefit it has for you in sharing with others. Decree and declare love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and the glory of God in and through that situation. Allow any weaker frequency to entrain and entangle with the strongest frequency of LOVE. I can take all the negative crap around me and infuse it with God’s awesomeness. Not only does it change my attitude but it changes the atmosphere. Are we going to be part of the solution or continue to spread fear and hate because we agree with a position that’s attacking another one of God's beloved ones? This includes the people you really dislike. It doesn’t matter what you think of the president of the USA, a governor or your state, a member of the house or senate, or any other governmental official. 99% of the time, you're only getting part of the story anyway.
Functioning from a position of love despite how horrible you think a person or situation is, that is truly functioning in political correctness when you cover everything with a blanket of Perfect Love.
Plain and simple – God is love. Let’s start demonstrating more of that so we can release Love’s frequency into our atmosphere. Once that becomes our focus, not only will we change but it will have an effect on those around us, which in turn releases a stronger and more beneficial frequency.
Resonate love to all those around you and eventually you'll see change in your personal life and in the world around you. Take it one day at a time!
I declare that love covers all, even in the midst of things we don’t understand. I release joy, peace, love, patience, kindness and the frequency of love into the political arena of the United States of America. May we all arise and function in love. We sow the goodness and awesomeness of Perfect Love into every politician, every political party, and every citizen of our great country so that we walk in God's integrity and character. I declare this for not only America but every country on our planet earth.
Let love reign supreme!
