Lobbying, to most people, looks like bribery â the lobbyist who refuses to contribute to the reelection campaign isnât going to get a meeting, much less an ally.
No member of congress wants to feel bought. What they want to feel is convinced. Itâs the lobbyistâs job to make the members of congress âfeelâ like theyâre making the right decision, not just the decision they were paid to make.
Lobbying, persuasion, or interest representation is the act of attempting to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of officials in their daily life, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies. Lobbying is done by many types of people, associations and organized groups, including individuals in the private sector, corporations, fellow legislators or government officials, or advocacy groups (interest groups). Lobbyists may be among a legislatorâs constituencies, meaning a voter or bloc of voters within their electoral district, or not; they may engage in lobbying as a business, or not. Professional lobbyists are people whose business is trying to influence legislation, regulation, or other government decisions, actions, or policies on behalf of a group or individual who hires them. Individuals and nonprofit organizations can also lobby as an act of volunteering or as a small part of their normal job (for instance, a CEO meeting with a representative about a project important to their company, or an activist meeting with their legislator in an unpaid capacity). Governments often define and regulate organized group lobbying that has become influential.

To feel really loved, are you more sensitive to gifts and actions, physical touch, time spent together or encouraging words? Do you really know what is your language of love?

can you please explain how not using facebook, or shopping off amazon means i still give them money or the same amount of money? legit question. i don't understand those tweets.
What Brandon is saying here is that because these mega-corporations all use public infrastructure to run the logistics of their operations whilst avoiding paying taxes, it is the American taxpayer that is subsidizing the profits they enjoy by avoiding said taxes. This is true whether you shop with them or not.
You can take this even further with companies like Amazon and Wal-Mart who pay their workers such meager salaries that they need to go on public assistance and even encourage them to do so. This means that state funds are going towards subsidizing Amazon and Wal-Martâs worker exploitation all in the name of increasing their profits.Â

âŚExcerpt from The Book of LambspringâŚ
âA savage Dragon lives in the forest,  Most venomous he is, yet lacking nothing:  When he sees the rays of the Sun and its bright fire,  He scatters abroad his poison,  And flies upward so fiercely  That no living creature can stand before him,  Nor is even the Basilisk equal to him.  He who hath skill to slay him, wisely  Hath escaped from all dangers.  Yet all venom, and colours, are multiplied  In the hour of his death.  His venom becomes the great Medicine.  He quickly consumes his venom,  For he devours his poisonous tail.  All this is performed on his own body,  From which flows forth glorious Balm,  With all its miraculous virtues.  Here at all the Sages do loudly rejoice. â
~~Another long post but please bare with me. This applies to all of us.~~
The Ouroboros is the Dragon biting its own tail. This is a representation of the power of the ego mind and the dissolution of this part of yourself. I find the alchemical viewpoint on the ego flawed to a certain extent.
Ego: is the part of all of us that has been programmed by our subconsciousness/ our upbringing/ our environment. It is the part of us that is in essence who we think we are. This is also the part of us that lives in the lower 3 chakra of survival. These are also where the animal instinct lives.
Alchemical Process: Is to break down the ego. In the explanation above it states â in the hour of his deathâ is speaking of the ego. We are told that it is the process of destroying the ego into its base form of spirit. Via working with the elements you impart your spirit into it and in the process of working with the physical you will effect the spiritual. One can also do this via mediation on the Tree of Life. It can be done via the practice of Yoga, also the cleansing and working of chakra.Â
Now that we see where the ego comes from and the process of destroying it. Lets dive into what that means for us as a collective. The ego is a part of you as much as your hand is. It has learned from its surroundings to make you who you think you are. It is the part of you that wants to be validated. To be right all the time. To feel like it âbelongsâ to something bigger than itself. It will be the 1st part of you likely to feel slighted or start an argument even though in hindsight it really wasnât a big deal. It is the animal you that will fight if cornered.
As you can see I am explaining the ego as âITâ, a thing but this is how gurus and sages want you to see it. Although IT is a part of you you canât just âdestroyâ the ego, just like you canât cut off your hand. What happens when you corner an animal? The creature fights back..correct? Itâs the same thing with the ego. We canât destroy it for IT is at the moment YOU. I was under the impression (self taught of course) from spiritual books/youtube that the ego needed to be dissolved. In some cases many teachers mention the destruction of the ego mind. Well what do you think happens when one tries to kill anything with consciousness? It fights back.
This is my experience.
The soul will make attempt after attempt to teach the mind. The mind canât comprehend spirit since it canât be explained by the senses. These experiences are seen, by the ego, as being done to us instead of for us. The ego is quick to pass the blame onto another never seeing itself as the cause of the effect.
Here is the main pointâŚ. the ego canât be destroyed but it can be joined. This is the case of the previous emblems of polarity. Joining the heart and mind. The heart can understand spirit and what it is showing, but one needs to watch how one is acting and reflect often on the previous experience.
I never really knew what that meant till spirit showed me. Time after time I was given experience to show me my actions were affecting others. I said to myself âthatâs not meâ and âIâve grownâ and truth is it was only an excuse. I actually had to agree to myself that it was in factâŚME! I had to take responsibility for my own actions on how I make others feel. You canât imagine how hard that was. To admit that all my reading and learning was for the edification of my ego. The male power of learning âoccult knowledgeâ did not put into a tangible format something I could understand.
I had to stop and review the past. See how I talk to others. See my reaction and how it was handled. Know that in the moment I used âwell Iâm being funnyâ as an excuse to put others down. This was in no way intentional, but the end result was not putting anothers feeling before my own. To turn the other cheek and not make that off color comment. I let the ego run me instead of the other way. I saw it happening but it was like a train wreck. I couldnât stop it or so I thought.
So the Ego canât and does not want to die anymore than you want to step in front of a train. We can train the ego through self reflection on how to act. Use the mind at what its good at. Remember how in the past certain bad experiences made you feel. Think about yesterday and how you interacted with others. Tell your mind this is not how we want to act. I know it sounds crazy but your ego and spirit are separated. Â
The apply the heart. Do unto others as you would have done to you. See that your feelings are an indicator of how others are projecting. Watching every moment now in the present and making the right decision. Even if you feel slighted, it truly is only words and feelings. Now Iâm not saying to let abuse happen, but the small things which truly are small in the grand scheme of our daily lives.
One can merge the ego with the spirit. Let what you learn filter into your heart. Let the feeling flow but redirect the anger through the heart and not let the ego answer for you. Be more forgiving, even though you really donât want to. That resistance is your ego. Donât destroy/kill/dissolve your ego but let it pass your physical knowledge of your world around into the feeling of love.
The ego does not want to die. So why âkillâ it? Let it work for you and with you. Train it to see the emotion and not react. Let the reaction come from the heart. I found out that we are not supposed to be connected to the universal mindâŚ.but be connected to the universal heart! Humans are heart based. We are letting our environment keep us in the animal instinct of survival.
