It’s 4:17 PM on January 17, 2022, Dr. Martin Luther King Day, here in the U. S.
I asked my smart speaker for the news, that it fuel this article. This is what she told me…. “She”….the personified Artificial Intelligence, device…
There is extreme tension in the Ukraine, a multinational task force is headed to the region to defuse tensions with Russia, amidst concerns of a Moscow Invasion.
There was a hostage stand-off at a Texas Synagogue. Rabbi is thankful to be alive. Gunman dead.
A report says New Hospital admissions due to the Corona Virus increase 11%. The report says 21000 people a-day is being hospitalized. Higher daily hospitalizations rates are anticipated until the virus peaks, later this month.
The only known cure for the Omicron Variant of the Corona Virus, monoclonal antibodies, are in very short supply. Many treatment facilities have been out, for weeks.
Self Isolation mandates are a hot political topic in the UK. It appears after imposing restrictions on the UK people, high ranking political leaders, secretly ignored the mandates.
After Just 3-minutes of this news, I felt my stress level rise. I was a little more anxious. I was angry for having no control over any of this disturbing news. I had a sense of hopelessness, a very real sense of impending doom.
3-minutes! It now 4:47 PM. I am still dwelling on the 3 minute news brief. The news is not the only stressor of my day. Each day I am faced with a plethora of demands, and performance expectations, and, “Yes!” Things and matters, of which, I have no control. In addition, as if the Today does not have enough trouble of its own, I am anxious about the fantom of what might go wrong tomorrow, validated by the ghost of what went wrong before.
Day-in, and Day-out of this raggedy thinking consumes my mind. I think, I read somewhere or another, perhaps in the Wisdom Book, Proverbs 27, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” While man appears gender specific, it is not; and the term heart is essentially is the core of the non gender specific man. I believe Wisdom say’s that, “whatever I set my mind, and my heart to is who I become.” When I set my mind on the frightening, confusing, uncontrollable matters of the world, then, I become anxious, worried, fearful, and angry. My mind becomes polluted and dirty. No clean and wholesome thought may dwell there.
So what is a non-gender specific man to do with this anxious, worried, fearful, and angry, polluted, dirty mind?
Brain-Washing! Brain-washing carries a negative connotation. I am not referring to the forcible, coercive, violent manipulation used in wars and cults. But I like to define it as a deliberate strategic cleansing, change of my mind. In other words,

I get to choose what’s occupying the real-estate in my head. I get to evict unauthorized, unwanted squatters. I no longer need to be conformed, that is, to act in accord with the prevailing standards, attitudes, practices with the dirty-mind matters of this world.
The Authoritative Book in my life tells me, “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. “ (The Bible, Romans 12:2). I not only have permission to not think like the crowd, but I am admonished to change my mind that I might be changed. Yes! I can be transformed by the renewing of my mindset. I can be brain-washed to goodness, and acceptability in accordance with the whole, complete will of God.
With that, said, It should be obvious that the audience for this article is the non-gender specific man who dares to believe that God is, and that He is omnipotent, not impotent. And if you don’t believe in God at all, well then, we need to be having a different conversation.
