(22,526 posts)The brain (our self-ish impulses) and the soul ( "godly" impulses ), the mustard seed soul doesn't have enough influence to counteract the selfishness of the brain.
Another biblical truth: in the sower/soil parable, Jesus describes 4 different reactions to godly values. Only 1 responds positively and fluorishes. The other 3 are useless or worse,pervert good values. So, 75% of souls/people don't reach out to do good for others and 1/3 of those will construe doing good as a bad thing. Jesus's realism is playing out before our eyes.
All the qualities you list are soul qualities. The GOP makes its appeal nowadays purely to the brain's self-ish qualities of fear, suspiciousness, greed, lying, cheating, materialism, money, power, violence.
You, I and DUers are trying our best to "work in the vinyard." Wine symbolizes spiritual values, so we see our purpose as instilling soul values on the earthly level.
Thanks for your patience!

The shells are going to fail
Become burnt chaff as Sekhmet separates the world to stop the shells .
We will change for the better or not.
And then Sekhmet will seperate the world and the souled from the shells.

There are two creators the authoritarian god worshipped in custodial and cultish religions
And Sekhmet the oldest known god,she was known to palolithic humans the mother of powerful love, the wisdom, she who is older than the gods. She who walks as a man.
