Humanity is busy with our everyday business, education, and family life. Who has time for complications?
But some things are very good to know, not just what our friends and family think about and how that may affect you and your everyday life personally, but altogether as a whole.
Do opinions make a difference?
Yes.
Sometimes we get caught off guard. We can find ourselves thinking we are doing good one moment only to find out that all our hopes and dreams are gone in a puff of smoke, hijacked by someone else’s bad intentions.
That is not fair to you, me, or anyone else, regardless of where you live.
Here in the Unites States of America, this country was founded on freedom and liberty, and justice for all. In some cases, it looks like we have drifted off course due to lies spread as if they were truth.
How do you know what the truth is?
Who should you believe?
Freedom, liberty, and justice for all is based on the opposite of these definitions:
Thomas Jefferson: “I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
James Madison: “The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.”
Theodore Roosevelt: “I hold that in this country there must be complete severance of Church and State; that public moneys shall not be used for the purpose of advancing any particular creed.”
Barry Goldwater: “By maintaining the separation of church and state, the United States has avoided the intolerance which has so divided the rest of the world with religious wars.”
George Carlin: “I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.”
John Adams: “As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion… it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”
1st Amendment to the Constitution: โCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: โฆโ
The concept of separating church and state is often credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke (1632โ1704). However, Roger Williams was first in his 1636 writing of “Soul Liberty” where he coined the term.
Locke expanded on this. According to his principle of social contract, Locke argued that the government lacked authority in the realm of individual conscience, as this was something rational people could not cede to the government for it or others to control. For Locke, this created a natural right in the liberty of conscience, which he argued must therefore remain protected from any government authority. These views on religious tolerance and the importance of individual conscience, along with his social contract, became particularly influential in the American colonies and the drafting of the United States Constitution.
Leviathan, or the Matter, Forme, & Power of a Comm – caption: ‘Leviathan’
On the original cover of Thomas Hobbes’s work Leviathan (1651), he discusses the concept of the social contract theory.
In the past, the wall of separation metaphor has been used to silence people speaking from a religious perspective in the public marketplace of ideas. You see this in court cases limiting the rights of students to express their faith in public school settings. You see this in public forum cases where religious groups want to use public forums on the same terms and conditions as secular groups. The courts are restricting that ability.
The tide is turning, as you see on today’s Supreme Court, where right-wing Christian religion has chipped away at the once sturdy bricks in the wall of separation between church and state, replacing those valuable bricks of integrity with bricks made of sand and one-sided religious agendas pontificated by political push.
The religious right is not so holy in its hatred of the non-white, non-straight, non-pre-existing US citizen. Those underlying deceptions now have infiltrated agendas supposedly pretending to support the very citizens they are hurting.
It took until Thomas Jefferson came to the rescue to stop the Baptist religion from being a state religion. Danbury, Connecticut was collecting taxes from people in religion and paying it to this “state religion” until all the other churches complained of this unfair practice, resulting in the common practice that all religions do not have to pay taxes now.
Religion and politics can work in a symbiotic relationship, helping humanity in homelessness, hunger, and efforts to help the general public, as long as religious bias does not interfere with the human rights of all USA citizens, not just some of them.
We still have freedom of speech in the United States of America. The eagle stands for freedom, integrity and truth, and stands against lies, slander, and injustice.
It seems like it’s feast or famine. We say we want freedom of speech, until someone speaks. We say we want tolerance, until we have to stand up. We say we can’t legislate morality, until someone does or says something that offends us. Oh, the outrage.
Isn’t it odd, in this day and age, in the United States of America, that the public outcry on any given opinion columnist who dares to speak out the opinion for which he or she was hired, has to defend himself or herself, because of the most vocal opinionated voice taking over the airwaves.
The public voice is often outrageously irresponsible, narcissistic, and weighed down by vested interests.
One tactic narcissists use is to bend their voice from moment to moment, regardless of the truth in the matter, to their personal benefit. This does not help a family, state nor any country.ย
Narcissists forget that in these days of social media and public and recorded television and news stories, complete with sound, video and pictures, the public can see and repeatedly see the truth of what was said at the moment in time in which any statement was made. History reveals who knew what, when.
We seem to want freedom only when it is convenient, or popular, or when we get to wave our outrage flag. It would almost be comical if it did not destroy the livelihood of opinion columnists, opinion talk show hosts, television news show hosts, and government officials who speak the unpopular truth in the face of opposition based on lies.
Freedom of speech is not meant to be only the current, popular group think tank concensus, spoken by popular personalities.
Freedom of speech is not meant for only particular religious groups, lobbyists, banks, millionaires, CEOs of companies, presidents of anything, or heavy-hitting advertisers who use their dollars to buy the opinions they believe in and wish to promote at any and all costs.
Money is not the bottom line. People are.
Speech and policies that promote or tolerate human death as an acceptable means of getting what they want is unconscionable. People are resilient. We can bounce back, but not if we are dead. Money matters, but not if we are dead. Then it is just a pile of money. What we say matters. What we say has consequences.
Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. We all need to use our voice to state our opinion, or voice our stand on a political issue that matters to us. Others have a United States constitutional right to say any and all opinions they may have. We also have freedom of speech, and are able to voice our opinion on any and all subjects.
What neither side of any issue has no right to do, is to attack the person, go after that person’s job, in attack smear campaigns, or break laws. This is childish. In some cases it is slanderous and/or criminal. Name calling and attacks on a person’s character is something parents deal with when their children go off to first grade. And it does nothing to address the subject at hand.
We all must stand up and be socially responsible. Often, rather than stand up for what we feel is right, or use our freedom of speech to make valid and important points vocally, we turn into cowards and verbally attack the person who has the opinion we don’t like. This is a warped and childish sense of power.
Boo hoo.
Someone has hurt my feelings.
When did “someone has hurt my feelings,” turn into, “They have no right to say that” (whatever it is we do not agree with). What are we, children? We are acting like it.
This may not be a popular article.
It is easier to jump on a bandwagon, any bandwagon that has momentum, rather than tackle a sensitive issue ourselves.
What will our friends think?
Will we lose any public standing if we say what we really believe?
Will we lose our jobs?
There is so much penalty to voice an opinion contrary to the popular public opinion. It is so much easier to character assinate the individual or group stating something we do not agree with.
We need to activate our freedom, our voice and social responsibility actions. We need to grow up. We need to step into our personal power, and stop giving it away in the tornado of destruction caused by our attacks on others, no matter how insane we believe them to be. Words and actions matter. Not speaking and acting when we need to, these omissions, also matter. Lives are at stake.
People’s words and actions give them away. They do not need us to make them look foolish. They do a good enough job of that themselves.
I am using my God-given freedom of speech, acting with social responsibility, to suggest everyone what I see as a solution to a growing problem sweeping this great nation of ours. It is imperative we regain our freedom of speech. We are on the brink of losing it.
History has a habit of repeating itself. It is wiser to acknowledge what is happening before our eyes so we do not repeat the cataclysms of the past.
With all that is going on in the world, it is too easy to only focus on only what is broken, wrong, harmful and every other dark presence. How can you function? How can you heal?
There is a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy that animates every single Spirit/Soul that keeps every single person alive on the planet. It is the Light of Life.
Balance, clarity and health in mind, body and spirit are checkpoints that can restore wholesome reality in every person, place and thing. Balance is key.
I extend a welcoming invitation to the worldwide meditation and prayer effort here at this time. This is an international, concerted effort for peace solutions wherever you are.
Does prayer and meditation reduce crime in inner cities? Yes, according to the 1993 controlled study done in Washington, reducing the crime rate in the District of Columbia by 48 percent. This study has been written about many times before, but given what is happening all over the world, now is a good time to remember this study, and how prayer and meditation can benefit us, and the cities and countries we live in. Washington, D.C. is again sorely in need of meditation and prayer.
Effects of Group Practice of the Transcendental Meditation Program on Preventing Violent Crime in Washington, DC: Results of the National Demonstration Project, June-July 1993
John S. Hagelin, Maxwell V. Rainforth, David W. Orme-Johnson, Kenneth L. Cavanaugh, Charles N. Alexander, Susan F. Shatkin, John L. Davies, Anne O. Hughes, and Emanuel Ross
This study presented the final results of a two-month prospective experiment to reduce violent crime in Washington, DC. On the basis of previous research it was hypothesized that the level of violent crime in the District of Columbia would drop significantly with the creation of a large group of participants in the Transcendental Meditationยฎ and TM-Sidhiยฎ programs to increase coherence and reduce stress in the District.
This National Demonstration Project to Reduce Violent Crime and Improve Governmental Effectiveness brought approximately 4,000 participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs to the United States national capital from June 7 to July 30, 1993. A 27-member independent Project Review Board consisting of sociologists and criminologists from leading universities, representatives from the police department and government of the District of Columbia, and civic leaders approved in advance the research protocol for the project and monitored its progress.
The dependent variable in the research was weekly violent crime, as measured by the Uniform Crime Report program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; violent crimes include homicide, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery. This data was obtained from the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department for 1993 as well as for the preceding five years (1988-1992). Additional data used for control purposes included weather variables (temperature, precipitation, humidity), daylight hours, changes in police and community anti-crime activities, prior crime trends in the District of Columbia, and concurrent crime trends in neighboring cities. Average weekly temperature was significantly correlated with homicides, rapes and assaults (HRA crimes), as has also been found in previous research; therefore temperature was used as a control variable in the main analysis of HRA crimes. Using time series analysis, violent crimes were analyzed separately in terms of HRA crimes (crimes against the person) and robbery (monetary crimes), as well as together.
The following is a graph pictured:
Analysis of 1993 data, controlling for temperature, revealed that there was a highly significant decrease in HRA crimes associated with increases in the size of the group during the Demonstration Project. The maximum decrease was 23.3% when the size of the group was largest during the final week of the project. The statistical probability that this result could reflect chance variation in crime levels was less than 2 in 1 billion (p < .000000002). When a longer baseline is used (1988-1993 data), the maximum decrease was 24.6% during this period (p < .00003). When analyzed as a separate variable, robberies did not decrease significantly, but a joint analysis of both HRA crimes and robberies indicated that violent crimes as a whole decreased significantly to a maximum amount of 15.6% during the final week of the project (p = .0008). Analysis of 1993 data, controlling for temperature, revealed that there was a highly significant decrease in HRA crimes associated with increases in the size of the group during the Demonstration Project.
Several additional analyses were performed on HRA crimes to further assess the strength of the main findings. These indicated that the reduction of HRA crimes associated with the group of participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs could not be attributed to changes in police staffing. These secondary analyses also found that the reduction of HRA crimes was highly robust to alternative specifications of the statistical model-that is, the effect is independent of the isolated details of the models used to assess seasonal cycles and trends. No significant decrease was found in any of the prior five years during this period of time, indicating that this effect was not due to the specific time of year. Furthermore, the intervention parameters for the group size revealed that the effect of the group was not only cumulative with the increase in group size, but also continued for some time after the end of the project.
Based on the results of the study, the steady state gain (long-term effect) associated with a permanent group of 4,000 participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs was calculated as a 48% reduction in HRA crimes in the District of Columbia.
Given the strength of these results, their consistency with the positive results of previous research, the grave human and financial costs of violent crime, and the lack of other effective and scientific methods to reduce crime, policy makers are urged to apply this approach on a large scale for the benefit of society.
People from all over the world are affected by embarrassing and inhumane treatment of all human beings born with the same God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This blog is read in 203 countries, territories and protectorates worldwide. Please join me in meditation and prayer for an end to human cruelty and misery inflicted by inhuman current policies.

Gluttony in all its forms is blinding, even to the Self. Gluttony is an insidious form of evil, sabotaging both individuals and entire swarths of humanity in one greedy gulp.
First trappings of evil appear as invisible concepts, ideas of glory without end, and immature bliss at all costs regardless of who gets hurt. Evil and all forms of lack of maturity are mental, emotional, and spiritual sabotage. This is true for both individuals as well as for any country.
It is possible to heal, but as with all other ills, no one can cure that which they do not acknowledge, or purposefully ignore.
According to Enoch, โEvil walked the earth when angels fell. Evil stalks us now in disembodied spirits; immortal wraiths once clothed in flesh when angels and women bred; spirits released from their fleshly prisons when their bodies were destroyed for drinking the blood of men.
โEvil also lives inside of the common man; set free when pride kills reason and eats integrity whole.
โThere is evil that entraps us and evil that tugs from within. But neither have control until we choose to relent. Evil is a choice of action, of thoughts entertained too long, of arrogance pushing aside the last vestiges of compassion. When angels or men think of themselves first, this is evil being born afresh. When outcome is not considered, empathy abandoned, or compassion dismissed, evil has come of age.โ
The above quote is from THE OMEGA from The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim, page 335 in THE BOOKS OF ENOCH, THE ANGELS, THE WATCHERS AND THE NEPHILIM (With Extensive Commentary on the Three Books of Enoch, the Fallen Angels, the Calendar of Enoch, and Danielโs Prophecy).
Humanity is made of mind, body and Spirit/Soul. Human DNA has an extremely long genealogical line much longer than most realize.
Each person, and society as a whole, can manifest traits of unabashed greed in all its ugly forms. There is a tide that turns otherwise sensible minds dark when they are blinded by gluttony in all forms of selfishness and the bottomless pit of greed.
Each person, and society as a whole, can also manifest unabashed generosity in all its healing side effects. Generosity feeds on empathy, compassion, and kindness for all humanity, not only certain segments of humanity, as if one group or another is better than the rest.
God Bless Every Person Everywhere Without Exception.
Recovering the mental health of a country can only take place when truth, honesty and integrity manifest as helpful tools for seemingly complicated situations.
I am a holistic health counselor/practitioner now retired. This blog is my outreach to a hurting world in need of the best humanity has to offer. It is read in all 203 countries, territories and protectorates in the world.
It is possible to heal, to recover the personal power of each citizen, restore the fame and good reputation of the land, and the fortune of healing every country by mitigating climate change, improving air and water quality, and caring for all people everywhere regardless of land of origin, race, color, creed, gender, age, any other label of human limitation, and healing the hurting history of all involved.
When the fertile seeds of innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership combine with common sense, healing humanity and the world at large naturally occurs. If this is not occurring in your area in this one world we all live on, this is an opportunity to begin to refocus on building up rather than tearing down. Whatever we focus on grows.
It is not possible to kill enough people to even the death score, make an egotistical point of supposed righteousness, or annihilate every person on the planet, and still have a planet to live on.
It takes the cooling down of the insanity of dueling prideful egos. We see this when children act out as if fighting back is the only answer.
There is another way.
The other way to problem solving involves something every religion throughout all of history has stated in one form or another. Jesus also taught this. It is known as the Golden Rule.
Most religions all over the world have this rule in their belief systems. If we treated other people in the way we want to be treated, we would treat people with more dignity, empathy and compassion.
Healing begins when two or more people, or two or more countries decide that they want to advance humanity and build better tomorrows for all involved.
Notice the countries that work together on the International Space Station, ISS:
United States
Russia
Japan
Canada
European Space Agency, including 11 member countries:
Belgium
Denmark
France
Germany
Italy
Netherlands
Norway
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
Another example of the countries of the world rising their sights above the worst that humanity has to offer to each other is the Boston Marathon. Citizens from over 100 countries participate in this yearly event.
Can you imagine the benefit to every person on the planet if greed in all its mind-altering addictions could be tamed?
The major problem stopping world peace is indoctrination on all sides.
It is a case of my God is better than your god.
It the clashing of various belief systems.
It is the belief that my belief system is right and yours is wrong.
It is the belief that, exactly like the old-fashioned Kenal Ration dog food commercial used to sing:
“My dog is better than you dog.
“My dog is better than yours.
“My dog is better ‘cuz he eats Kenal Ration,
“My dog is better than yours.”
Please understand this with a momentary pause to consider these words without blocked eyes, ears, minds, and inflamed egos rearing up to refuse to listen based on your present indoctrinations.
Indoctrinations are the problem.
Indoctrinations are the stumbling blocks.
Who are you without your indoctrinations?
All wars begin by indoctrinations of all kinds.
Flip the same letters d and g in the above singing TV commercial and you get:
“My God is better than your god.
“My God is better than yours.
“My god is better ‘cuz I am right and you are wrong,
“My god is better than yours.”
I invite you to think about this peacefully.
For those of you who read the bible of any version and every other religious book about human history, there is a common occurrence.
Pay special attention to the parts about the fallen angels of Genesis 6, and who it is who is enticing you into hate, violence, and murder as the only solution to any problem.
This is the famous Original Sin, only it is the fault of the fallen angels, not any woman or man.
Today, warring factions all over the world continue fighting based on their indoctrinations of how to interpret that single fateful event.
Enoch wrote about this also.
Enoch said that 200 fallen angels, led by Samyaza, agreed that because the women of the world were so beautiful, that he alone would agree to incur this great sin of the mating with human women.
Nephilim children were then born on Earth.
Enoch said these 200 fallen angels first landed on Mount Hermon.
Enoch also said that the fallen angels were given territories to rule all over the Earth.
All ancient and pre-history tell of the glories of their “gods.”
Notice that these fallen “gods” were at war with each other in the stories of the Philistine, Greek, Norse, Mayan, Aztec, and every other god, often called heroes fighting for good over evil, as best as they understood it.
This could all be considered myths, if it were not for all those darned ancient and inconvenient temples and ziggurats that they left all over the world and on the ocean’s floor, while we wonder, who could have made them?
Consider that the Laws of Thermodynamics states that Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
The Energies of these fallen gods continue living throughout all of Creation.
The tell-tale mark left by the fallen angels includes but not limited to the dark energies of retaliation, murder, lying, cheating, deception, and every other mal formed Energy.
The fallen gods claimed to be “God” but were not.
How do you tell the difference between a fallen god, and the Father of the Christ Energy?
Love is the mark of the Father of all Creation in the heavens above and on the Earth below.
Jesus taught about this in John 8:44 when he said, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
This devil lives on in every generation who leans more on their fallen angel DNA and their murderous impulses.
Human indoctrinations often revolt against anything other than that with which they are indoctrinated.
I invite you to take a breath and consider this with new ears and a peaceful mindset. Jesus said, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Religious leaders in his day could neither hear nor understand what Jesus was telling them because IT WENT AGAINST THEIR INDOCTRINATIONS.
THIS IS THE REAL REASON JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
Today is a new day, a new possibility of peaceful understanding.
It is not impossible to learn something new, understanding something deeper than promoting what has not been working for world peace.
I understand the extreme difficulty in discovering that you have spent your life in believing something with all your heart, only to find out that major parts of human history got buried from your eyes for purposes of personal power, fame, and fortune.

Empathy, compassion, continued learning, and understanding are the solutions to a world that has tied itself up in ignorant and ego-filled knots.
The following is how we became the United States of America. It is from the Declaration of Independence.
“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
“He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
“He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
“He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
“He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
“He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
“He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
“He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
“He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
“He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
“He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
“He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
“For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
“For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
“For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
“For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
“For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
“For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
“For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
“For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
“He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
“He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
“He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
“In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
Since I am an international interfaith minister, I thought it would be a helpful reminder for everyone to know what the Declaration of Independence says.
Balance is the key to harmony and peace within yourself and within the world. Even you have a dark and a light side to what is within you. It is not the other guy, the other country, the other job or boss, or anyone or anything else outside of you that will bring you the balance you so earnestly seek. It is WITHIN you.
Harmony is the path you can choose every minute of every day. The choice is yours to transform the things in your personal life into harmony. It is the only way forward. Drop all energies and aspects of the word “fight,” as in “fighting” for your rights, opinions to be heard, votes to be cast, “fighting” for what’s right, or any other cause that catches your fancy. The solution to advancing humanitarian efforts is in focusing on what you DO want, not “fighting” against what you DO NOT want. WHAT YOU FOCUS ON GROWS.
Peace begins with what you energize WITHIN yourself. You will never find peace in the world if you do not value or practice peace WITHIN yourself, your family, your friends, your co-workers, your neighborhood, your society, or any other situation you find yourself in. Peace is an energy that multiplies with every thought you have.
You might think that balance, harmony and peace begin outside of yourself. That is an incorrect assessment. Peace cannot exist outside of yourself if it does not first germinate WITHIN your mind, heart, and feelings.
Jesus is a great example of how to love without conditions. He said to LOVE everyone and told Apostle Peter to put back his sword (gun, bomb) and healed the Roman guard whose ear Peter just cut off. JESUS SHOWED THAT THE WAY TO PEACE IS THROUGH EMPATHY AND COMPASSION not the sword, gun, bomb, or retaliation.
In Luke 17:20-21, when the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus answered that it is WITHIN us. That is the Light of Love we can choose to activate in our lives. It is real. It is powerful. It is the solution to all of your and the world’s problems. It is so simple it is annoying.
Luke 17:20-21 got changed to the Light of the Kingdom of God as being “among” us with the thinking that it meant that Jesus was walking “among” humankind. But it got put back to its original meaning when it was discerned that it was Jesus speaking, not about himself, but that the Light of ” the Kingdom of God,” was one and the same thing as the Light that animates your very Spirit/Soul and is intricately part of who and what you are.
It is the energy of Love, the Light of your Spirit/Soul which you are to energize. The motivating force is found in your feelings. Energize feelings of balance, harmony and peace as soon as you feel the opposite feelings attempting to creep in, either by conversations, over the airwaves or internet. Anything that can be used for good can also be used for less than good. Use wisdom to know the difference. You already know this.
The way of retaliation is the way of the living spirits of the fallen angles and the Nephilim following the Old Testament ways of annihilating every man, woman, child, and animal like what happened in the land of Caanan and is now happening in Gaza, Palestine, Ukraine and every other world condition based on fear, aggression, and conquest by the bullies of the world. You cannot ever kill enough people to “even” the score. Which “God” are you following?
Yes, you have every right to defend yourself. But it is another thing entirely to be the instigator of imbalance, discordance (not harmonious), and chaos (not peaceful) when you have the opportunity to choose balance, harmony and peace over its opposite energy.
At every possible moment, you can lessen the ill effects in your life and in the world by changing the tone of your thoughts, words, and actions to bring balance, harmony and peace via the universal and electromagnetic Laws of Attraction.
Beware of cult-like mentality, which one side of any issue thinks that they have the only way to think. That is a direct signal to you that you are in a political, religious, and/or social cult.
Let each one of us be the Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy on our one and only planet. You and I can bring in yet another Golden Age of Love and Light. It all depends upon what you focus on.
Veterans have served the United States of America with valor and honor.
Veterans do not ask what political side you are on.
Veterans are not suckers or losers.
Project 2025 plans on cutting Veteran’s Disability Benefits. This is no way to honor any veteran who has honorably served this country.
It’s time to honor all veterans who have honored this country, the United States of America, with their service.
Some veterans, like my husband, did not wait to be drafted in order to serve our country.
If you want to know more about what a veteran will do for the USA and the world, please consider reading one of the books my husband, John Hourihan, wrote.

“Social justice became another life contract I made. I was to have a very busy life standing up for the life, liberty, and justice for all that the United States of America was supposed to stand.
“Much of humanity at the turn of the century claimed to stand for the flag, life, liberty, and freedom while ignorantly supporting those with racist, xenophobic, and authoritarian ideologies. I thought humanity had done away with prejudice and xenophobia in Hitlerโs regime, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars for the independence of the United States of America, and hostile takeovers throughout the world. Some countries never learned these life lessons and doom themselves to reap the seeds they have sown even in todayโs world.
“The New Colossus[1] was written in capital letters and memorialized in 1903 with a bronze plaque placed on the inner walls of the Statue of Libertyโs pedestal. It is currently displayed for all to see in the Statue of Liberty Museum. Emma Lazarus wrote these words in 1883. It reads:
“โNOT LIKE THE GREEK GIANT, WITH CONQUERING LIMBS ASTRIDE FROM LAND TO LAND; HERE AT OUR SEA-WASHED, SUNSET GATES SHALL STAND A MIGHTY WOMAN WITH A TORCH, WHOSE FLAME IS THE IMPRISONED LIGHTENING, AND HER NAME MOTHER OF EXILES. FROM HER BEACONED-HAND GLOWS WORLD-WIDE WELCOME: HER MILD EYES COMMAND THE AIR-BRIDGED HARBOR THAT TWIN CITIES FAMED. โKEEP ANCIENT LANDS, YOUR STORIES POMP!โ CRIES SHE WITH SILENT LIPS. โGIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE. THE WRETCHED REFUSE OF YOUR TEEMING SHORE. SEND THESE, THE HOMELESS, THE TEMPEST-TOSED TO ME. I LIFT MY LAMP BESIDE THE GOLDEN DOOR!โโ
“The New Colossus is the universal message and hope for freedom for immigrants coming to America and people seeking freedom around the world. The principle of The New Colossus still stands today in the democratic republic of the United States of America. Many Americans need to be reminded of this important fact in the USA, whose borders are not meant to be closed to anyone, not from Canada, not from South or Central America, nor any country in the world in need of the best that humanity can offer.
“It is one thing to stand up for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is quite another thing to support prejudice and brutality in the ignorant wave of thinking age, gender, ability, disability, and all other variations of human rights can only be authorized and validated by those milky-white people who have bought their way to the top, and by closing borders based on fear and prejudice, while simultaneously and erroneously claiming to be religious.
“This is not a political side to believe or not believe. This is the foundation of the United States of America, because as the name of this nation states, we are one UNITED States of America, working together for the common good of all. The UNITED States of America is not up for a land grab, a subversion of drug, gun, human trafficking, hostile takeover up for the highest bidder, nor subversion by oligarchs which might make worldwide commerce easier.
“Each one of us stands with the States of Liberty, unlike those โBRAZEN GIANTS OF GREEK FAME,โ because we are made of human hearts that remember when our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents came to the United States of American, not having to wait fifteen years to become citizens. If they could not sign their name, they simply signed an โXโ and were deemed healthy by an eye-ball glance to enter the USA. This is the ideal all Americans stand for, or at least we should. Either you are American and all it stands for, or you are not. You need to pick a side, otherwise you are back to George Orwellโs concept of โDouble Think,โ holding two opposite views claiming they are both the same when they are not.
“It has taken me all my life to finally understand the Light within me, which my dear mother began teaching me, when I was a very young girl kneeling on her bed saying my nighttime prayers. I remember this like it was yesterday. Mom said God was Love and that I was made of this Love. I couldnโt get enough of God, Love, and Light of inspiration. My dreams and my quest for knowledge have always been as deep as a bottomless well.
“The local priest at St. Michaelโs Church back then suggested to my mother that it would be good for me to teach CCD to grammar school children when I was 13 years old. He saw the Light of my fervor and wanted me to share that with the grammar school children, so I did. I liked teaching. It was simply sharing what I already knew and experienced.
“I taught CCD to students in grades one through three at St. Michaelโs Church in Mendon, including a First Holy Communion class of second graders before I turned 16 when my whole world turned upside down.”
IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, is book 1 of a 3-book series. Book 1 tells how to tell is you have been conned by a cult, even a political, religious or social cult and how to get out:
Book 2 in this IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS series is subtitled, NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, delving deep into the Angels/Ascended Masters/Masters, Mineral, Plant and Animal Kingdoms as they are interictally intertwined with our human experience, helping each of us to live our lives in greater awareness of who we are and why we are here on Earth at this time.
Book 3 in this IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS series is subtitled MY RED BAG OF COURAGE SURVIVAL WISDOM and is the opus of my life with which you may relate and hopefully find peace, love, and joy blooming in your heart.
I will post when Books 2 and 3 are available for purchase. Like a baby waiting to be born, birthing books is a novel experience.
I pray for the United States of America presently combatting 1,225 Hate and Antigovernment Groups against Democracy, Freedom and Liberty. The USA is striving for all who believe in PEACE, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY regardless of race, color, creed, gender, age, religion or spirituality or non-belief, finances, politics. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a key defender of human rights of all involved.
In the Unites States of America, everyone has the right to protest. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says:
“The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest. However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights. Make sure youโre prepared by brushing up on your rights before heading out into the streets.”
People in the USA have the right to protest, but not on private property without permission.
SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER HATE 2022 MAP IN THE USA:
“Palestine is not a country. It is recognized as a sovereign state by 136 UN members. The Declaration of Independence and the Proclamation of the State of Palestine took place on November 15, 1988 in Algiers, Algeria. Since then, the objective of the Palestine Liberation Organization has been to attain recognition of the Palestinian state from the international community.
“Background
“The UN General Assembly passed a resolution in 1974, recognizing the right of the Palestinian people to attaining sovereignty. It also recognized the PLO as the sole representative of Palestinians and granted it the status of Observer in the United Nations. After the Proclamation of Independence, Palestine replaced PLO in the UN but Palestine has not yet attained formal status in the system.
“Following the declaration, many countries, particularly developing states in Africa and Asia, recognized the state of Palestine amidst opposition from the US. The Arab League and Organization of the Islamic Conference officially recognized Palestine and it was accorded membership in both forums.
“Since 1989, representatives of the PLO have been attempting to gain membership into several agencies connected to the UN. However, these efforts have been thwarted by threats from the US to withhold funding from any organization that admits Palestine.
“Israel’s Position
“Between 1967 and the signing of the second Oslo Accord in 1995, no Israeli government proposed a Palestinian state. Most mainstream politicians in Israel opposed the idea even after the Palestinian National Authority was established in 1994. Ariel Sharon was the principal Israeli Prime Minister to declare that an independent Palestine was the solution to their conflict. This was the goal of his administration.
“After the inauguration of the current government in 2009, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated that an independent Palestine posed a threat to Israel. Following criticism from the international community, Israel accepted the idea of a Palestinian state. However, they have refused to accept the 1967 borders, citing security concerns. Israel is also opposed to Palestine’s plan of approaching the UN General Assembly claiming it is against the Oslo Accord.
“Diplomatic Recognition
“Of the 193 member states in the United Nations, 136 states had recognized the state of Palestine by September 2015. This is a 70.5% representation. These countries include Turkey, Serbia, Russia, China, and Sweden. The Holy See, which has the same status of a non-member observer as Palestine in the UN, maintains diplomatic ties with Palestine.
“Entities Who Do Not Recognize Palestine
“Most member states of the UN who have not recognized Palestine as a state are not entirely opposed to its independence. Entities such as Australia, Bahamas, and Japan support a two-state solution but insist on an agreement between the two parties. Some member states of the European Union such as Belgium and Denmark prefer to wait for the Union’s formal decision. Entities including the United States, Colombia, Eritrea, and Finland are open about not supporting a Palestinian state.
“Multilateral Treaties
“The state of Palestine is a party to numerous multilateral treaties registered with six depositories. The six depositories are the United Kingdom, UNESCO, UN, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Russia. After the accession of the UNESCO conventions in 2011 and 2012, Palestine became a member of UNESCO. The other conventions were ratified in 2014 when negotiations with Israel hit a stalemate.
“Countries Who Maintain Diplomatic Relations with Palestine:
“Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Azerbaijan;
“Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi;
“Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Chili, China, Comoros, Costa Rica, Code d’Ivoire, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic;
“East Timor, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia;
“Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique;
“Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, North Korea;
“Oman;
“Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland;
“Qatar;
“Republic of the Congo, Romania, Russia, Rwanda;
“Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sao Tome and Principe, Saudia Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Slovakia, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Swaziland, Sweden, Syria;
“Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Uzbekistan;
“Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam;
“Yemen;
“Zambia, Zimbabwe.”
I am specifically praying for all the countries mentioned above because the negative ramifications need to be balanced out by empathy, compassion, forgiveness, and love without conditions. The second we all do that, we will begin to see the tide change from the worst atrocities humanity is capable of, to the best each country can achieve, resulting in worldwide peace.
If I did not mention your country, that is because you are doing better than most at practicing PEACE where you live. I ask you to join me, if your free will thinks that is a good idea, to pray for world PEACE.
“We have to make an effort to understand to get beyond or go beyond these difficult times.
“My favorite poem is by Aeschylus.
“He once wrote, ‘Even in our sleep, pain, which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom, through the awful grace of God. ‘
“What we need in the United States, is not division.
“What we need in the United States is not hatred.
“What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness,
“But is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another.”
Have a heart.Do you have instinct without empathy or wisdom without Love?Re-Member who you are. Reconnect your Soul aspects.
You are love, born of love, from the Author of all Love, a manifestation of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. This Living Energy is infinite, self-aware and intelligent, that is, Knowledge, Wisdom, and Love. Religion calls this God, Sophia and Jesus, or traditionally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Science calls this dynamic, matter, which is energy at a slower vibration. It is a direct result of E=MC2, energy, science has recently found, can create matter.
These are all variations of the same point, proven by science in the Laws of Thermodynamics which state that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, only can be changed. We use multiple words to arrive at the same point, the very definition of semantics. This is described in my latest book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM.
It is like looking at a diamond. Turn the diamond to catch flashes of Light from many of the facets of the single diamond. One facet is not separate from the entire single, multi-faceted diamond.
I invite you to find the common ground rather than dissect the differences of what you have previously thought or known. What I am describing is not religious, it is the personification of science.
If love is the answer, then anarchy, chaos and revolution is not.
Love invites your heart mind and eternal Soul to forgive the wounds of the past. If you could have done better, you would have. Now is the time to heal and move on to positive solutions for yourself, those around you, and the world.
Avoid cult-like traps of religious, political, and social indoctrinations. The common ground is what builds up humanity, not what tears it down.
Build upon truth, a heart full of Love, not vengeance. You will always reap the seeds you have sown. Forgive others as you forgive yourself. Not forgiving hurts you, not the other person.
Truth is full of honesty, not lies for selfish gain no matter who you are. Money is also not the bottom line. A house of cards built on the erroneous lie that money is the bottom line will create a heartless generation that produces biotic-like individuals focused on over work for the glory of the money machine in any field. Stress from over work leads to emotional, mental, physical and spiritual problems.
Believe in the diamond heart of humanity. Believe in science and the truth uncovered by scientists, which religions personify in their parables, stories, and allegories. Believe in the ultimate cause of Light over darkness. Believe in the peaceful solutions to chaos. Believe in the press that reports inconvenient truth.โDiscover both sides of the situation, not only one side. Believe in the justice system that is firmly grounded in truth and justice.
It is possible to bring countries like the United States of America back from the brink of self-inflicted chaos, anarchy, and immaturity the second humanity decides to work together for the common good. Whatever you, me, or any country focuses on will grow. The more humanity focuses on dysfunction, then we will reap the seeds we sow. All farmers know this. You cannot grow corn when tomato seeds were planted.
Also know that Germain is the patron of the United States which stands for freedom, liberty and democracy, not autocracy, oligarchy, plutocracy. Germain, formerly known as St. Germain, is well-known for widespread metaphysical and esoteric knowledge from ancient teachings of medieval alchemy.
Why is anarchy and chaos rearing its ugly head at this time all over the world?
There are some who wish to usurp your personal power, fame (your reputation), and fortune (the keys to your cash) for themselves, as explained in my book mentioned above in this post. Believe in your loving self with integrity and honesty. It is possible to save humanity from plunging headlong into chaos and anarchy by self-correcting, admitting when we held conspiracies as truth, admitting if and when we were wrong, and stop living only for ourselves.
Combining Church and State in state and federal regulations and as the Speaker of the House of Representatives is not what our Forefathers set up for the United States of America.
Freedom is freedom, not censorship, nor male domination. It is time to pull off the systemic racism bandage covering the infected national wound masking as a difference of opinion. Blaming religion and religion’s quasi-moral and racist views as the reason for political motivations not only goes against the separation of church and state, but it also foments and mutates into a self-sabotaging mash.
Banning books in schools and libraries based on religious ideology is not to be combined in any government process in the USA. History must not be censored so that human history, including slavery and the holocaust of Nazi Germany, gets buried. It is necessary for truth to be told for the betterment of future human history.
I was living in Pleasant Grove, Mississippi in 1964. My mother, my new Mississippi father, my baby sister and I were living in the homestead home with my new extended family. It would not surprise me if the house in the movie THE HELP, was the same house in which I lived.
I remember discussions of both segregation and desegregation both for the school bus I rode on as well as for the elementary school I attended. These talks upset me greatly because one of my friends was a black girl who was my age. She was the daughter of Pearl, the black women my aunt hired to do the laundry and ironing. My mother and I felt the same way, people are people regardless of color, gender, age, race, creed, or any other label we place on people to make sure our division of humanity is counted.
I tell of being allowed to visit my black friend in her home to eat dinner and later play after dinner, with my grammar school friend now published in my new book on Kindle presently, and out in paperback on November 3, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, Universal Wisdom.
I only mention that my friend was black because in that home I lived in then included other family members who were horrified that I went to this friend’s house to share a meal and play. For the “good” of family peace, I was not allowed to visit at her home anymore.
Also in 1964, I was entering third grade, the same year a third-grade black student, Annette Gordon-Reed, was allowed to be the first black student in Jim Crow Conroe, Texas to go to an all-white grammar school. Breaking with prejudiced norms all over the USA was taking place.
June 19, Juneteenth, is the African American holiday finally celebrated for the second year in a row, thankfully. Hiding black and indigenous human history, especially USA human history, is blatant, ignorant racism, bigotry in action.
Annette Gordon-Reed is an American historian and law professor. She is currently the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University and a professor of history in the university’s Faculty of Arts & Sciences. She is formerly the Charles Warren Professor of American Legal History at Harvard University and the Carol K. Pforzheimer Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
Annette is noted for changing scholarship on Thomas Jefferson regarding his relationship with Sally Hemings and her children. Annette is the author of The Hemingses of Monticello, exposing the truth behind the racist culture of that time.
Her latest book is On Juneteenth, a poignant book for this year’s personal reading list.
She graduated from Dartmouth College in 1981 and Harvard Law School in 1984, where she was a member of the Harvard Law Review.
She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History and the National Book Award for Nonfiction and 15 other prizes in 2009 for her work on the Hemings family of Monticello.
In 2010, she received the National Humanities Medal and a MacArthur Fellowship. Since 2018, she has served as a trustee of the National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park, NC. She was elected a Member of the American Philosophical Society in 2019. She is also a Trustee of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
There is a constant drumbeat of fear that echoes as an undercurrent in modern-day conspiracy theories and civic and social agendas. It is a way subtle and not so subtle leaders of groups have devised to get you to do what they want you to do. Pay close attention. They want your mind, your time, and your money. If you join their club, you will be absolved of your God-given free will, trading it instead for humanly contrived manipulations of your mind solely for their benefit. This happens in many groups, especially cults. It is a gang mentality.
It starts out as a catchy ideology, a contagious new thought promising freedom, wealth, and liberty, while simultaneously enslaving your free will should you care to go further. Promising one thing while handing you another is a re-run by-product of George Orwellโs 1984, called double think.
This is plainly being played out on the worldโs stage today. It is insidiously being indoctrinated into homeschooled children, and youth of the supposedly rigid thinkers, with the repetitive negative drumbeat of fear, fear, fear with each striking of the drumstick.
Fear of others who are not exactly like themselves strikes at the heart of those with this hijacked mindset. Fear that there wonโt be enough food is shown on social media as if that is all the truth there is. Fear of water depletion, good, clean drinking water, and water to safely swim in is highlighted, as if there is no possible way to correct human error and waste. Fear of lack of housing, goods, and clothing all get shined in a spotlight as if there is no way humanity can solve this issue.
The reality is that there are numerous wholesome groups already at work in the world, helping the less fortunate, feeding and clothing the poor, and educating children and adults. We have the knowledge and ability to solve the global climate crisis. This is also at work in our world today.
The mentality of lack and agendas of fear are insidiously being indoctrinated into some home-schooling curriculums promising critical thinking while delivering fear to elementary school youth. I saw these curriculums online today, promoting that children in the USA need to be cautious against Socialism, Communism, and Marxism in the United States of America. What they did not promote was the fact that the United States is a constitutional republic with social programs, like Social Security. The US Constitution protects the republic of the United States of America, meaning each one of us.
Letโs not go back to the 1950โs with ignorance at the helm of education, thinking white people with blue eyes are better than better than any other type of human being.
Letโs call out racism, sexism, and all other hate crimes which are based in FEAR, because this is the UNITED Sates of America, the land of the FREE, not the oppressed.
By addressing the unbridled FEAR within us, and our children, we can continue to make the path of Liberty clear. This is something we need to stand up for, not becoming saddled by the FEARS of others manipulated agendas.
FEAR is an acronym meaning False Evidence Appearing Real.
At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention held Monday, September 17, 1787, Founding Father Benjamin Franklin was asked “What have you wrought?”
He answered, “… a Republic, if you can keep it.”
Why is the Republican Party attacking voting rights and promoting the Big Lie as if it were real?
Voting rights and all other “rights” are not the main focus at the helm of the transitional Republican Party. The Republican Party is transmuting into a political group with ideologies different from those of the Founding Fathers.
“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” Alexander Hamilton, 1775
“…a constitution, intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.” John Marshall was anย American politician and lawyerย who served as the fourth chief justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835.
The words and actions being promoted and tolerated by the Republican Party are not the words and actions of a political party in agreement with freedom and liberty for all people. The adaptations they seek in “the various crises of human affairs” are not for the benefit of the humanity they are voted in to serve. Why else would they seek to diminish voting booths, and make voting more difficult?
Courage in truth, integrity, and honor are what should be required of all in the Republican Party, from those voted into office, political appointments, down to the common person on the street.
Standing up for truth, integrity, and honor, however, are much more difficult when huge corporations, conglomerates, gun lobby, the military/industrial complex, and a host of other attachments have bought the hearts, minds, and voices of the would-be public servants.
It takes courage to shape the United States of America in poignant times of global warming and climate change. Denying it is happening will not stop its progression.
It takes courage to keep the United States of America as the first paragraph of The Constitution of The United States says, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Our fledgling government was never intended to be hijacked into an autocracy, oligarchy, nor plutarchy, since none of these forms of government “form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”
Now is the time for Republican leaders who want to stand the test of time positively in the history books of the United States of America as the saviors of the once-valid two-party system, to use their free will to not join the ranks of the sabotaged brand of modern Republicans, who have been infiltrated by white supremacist and hate-filled agendas.
Now is the time for integrity.
Now is the time for courage.
Now is the time to save the United States of America, unless you really do want to end up with a government of autocracy, oligarchy, and/or plutocracy.
Every person in every country on this precious Earth is responsible for the conditions in which they are living, personally, socially, economically, politically, educationally, and in every other possible division in which we find ourselves.
The blame game is the irresponsible and lazy way out of any dysfunctional life, system of operation, and/or apparent hierarchy. Usurping the rights of others has been used since the dawn of humanity by those seeking to rule over others. If humanity allows this dominance, it reaps the conditions it finds itself in. If humanity seeks out more positive solutions and alternatives, humanity can rise to the occasion, changing the course of history for the better as opposed to the worse.
By blaming others for the way things are, no one has to do anything about it, because placing onus on the other guy stops all possibility of healing anything. Situations stalemate in the blame game because there is more than enough blame to go around. Finger pointing, obstruction to solutions that are not your own, solves nothing. Discovering the plausible opposite that is wrong will never solve any problem. Every situation has a plausible opposite. Since what you focus on grows, focusing on the plausible opposite shuts down any and all solutions.
If finding out whose fault something is does not solve the problem, what does? Who care why? It is what happens next that matters.
Every person is responsible for their own thoughts, words, and actions, in every country in the world, regardless where you live, regardless which religion is professed, regardless which political party, or social group or club people belong to.
Do you live in a Democracy? Then you are responsible to keep it. Shine a light on the actual truth as opposed to half-truths spun for self-serving agendas. The half-truth is the worse kind of lie, since forethought and deception are at the base of all half-truths meant to confuse the opposition, as if life was simply a sport to win or lose. It is possible to get to the bottom of truth. It requires looking at all the information, not only one side of the situation, and not only one viewpoint from like-minded individuals.
Do you live under tyrannical rule? Then you are responsible for your own thoughts, words, and actions that allow it, or change it for the betterment of the human condition. Not working to inspire, uplift, and encourage freedom of thoughts, words, and actions in any country can keep humanity captured by the self-delusion that their thoughts, words, and actions are powerless. Every person in every country on Earth is born with free will, the freedom to live a human life and freedom to think their own thoughts. Life is not a popularity contest, a club of like-thinkers, nor a bandwagon to jump on. It matters more than that.
You matter. Every person matters. Your thoughts matter. Your words matter. Your actions matter.
All humanity matters AND ARE EQUAL, black, white, and every other color of human being. All nationalities of human beings matter AND ARE EQUAL in the value of human life. All humanity matters, all genders, all ages, and in every other division thought that could make people different from one another.
The success of humanity as living beings on Earth is not what makes us all different, but what we all share as the common experience; we are all alive. We all have Universal Life Force, which some call a soul, animating our flesh. This life force, human chi, otherwise called soul, is animating the human flesh with Universal Life Force Energy. There is also the soul of every country.
No country, political group, educational nor financial institution claims any rights to Universal Life Energy. Keep in mind, the first law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created not destroyed, only changed.
We are all responsible for how we use, channel, and operate with Universal Life Force Energy. When we work together for the common good of all, we will turn the corner for balancing and harmonizing humanity for our future common human race. All is One.
Let There Be Peace On Earth, and let it begin with me.
The United States of America is not built upon the foundation of unions that bring discord, but the union of HARMONY. When the Constitution of the United States was signed, Article 1, Section 2 states that “the House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states …” which means by all voting people, not just the ones who agree with the most wealthy and powerful candidates. This is how a game is played, not serving the people they have been voted in to serve. The Constitution of the United States is no game.
Now is the time for a universal meditation for the United States of America:
“Mighty Infinite I AM Presence and
“Guardian of the United States of America!
“Join in the calling and decree
“of all individual I AM Presences of its citizens,
“the Silver Cord of life illuminating
“all human life coming together,
“young and old, rich and poor,
“educated and not educated,
“of every gender, race, color, and creed;
“connect all lives as One, which we truly are.
“You are the Light of a thousand suns
“radiating through all living creation,
“the United States of America is living
“with the hope, dreams, and promises,
“blaze your healing power,
“charged with the Ascended Master consciousness,
“of the Divine Plan
“for the Peaceful Freedom and Perfection,
“to free all who are enslaved
“by their own self-made prejudices
“in order to wake all citizens to the glory
“of Democracy to its fullest potential.
“Mighty I AM Presence of this nation,
“awaken all sleeping minds to the vision
“our first President George Washington
“held for our fledgling country,
“void of self-sabotage, lies and deception
“of self-serving political servants;
“illuminate the truth starkly standing
“before all to see, remove the veils
“of greedy and power-hungry agendas,
“pride and ego ghosts tripping
“on their own shadows.
“Transform them to the great call to service
“in order that all can be proud
“once again of America’s homeland.
“Cascade endless radiant rays
“of life-affirming light into the frozen hearts
“calloused by the hijacking of government positions,
“allowing them to thaw
“with the realization that all humanity is One.
“All Americans are One.
“Mighty I AM Presence
“of the Soul of the United States of America,
“re-member all its citizens
“to the One Constitution of the United States,
“and to the Bill of Rights
“protecting the life and liberty of all citizens.
“Lavish the abundance of all good things
“with Social and Divine Justice
“tenderly caring for our most vulnerable
“and precious life, our children.
“Love and Light heals
“individual minds and hearts,
“as well as the heart of the nation
“in the tumultuous grip
“of the blinded bought and compromised
“political puppets masquerading
“as the leaders sorely in need of removal
“allowing fresh air to sweep clean
“the dregs of political bankruptcy.
The Scale Of Justice is blind to the differences in people, that is why she is blind-folded.
Notice the Spiral of Light emanating from the individual, as well as from the many aspects of refracted color proceeding from the infinity of light.
“Let there be light!” This is the first reality in the Cosmos. From its initial blast of existence in the third dimension, infinite light manifests proving the Universal Law of Light as a continuous radiance through high-powered energy and resulting generation of light. This same light also emanates from within humankind in every country on Earth. This exact same light has the ability to calm all man-made chaos in every country on the face of this planet.
Light enlightens everything and everyone in its path. Notice how light dispels shadow and darkness. Dark shadows disappear in the presence of light. Shadow always follows light, just as the sunset casts a shadow of tree on the ground, with light on one side of the tree and shadow behind it. Yet shadow is cast out by light when it illuminates void of obstacles. Light is also the answer to obstacles.
Light spirals and whirls throughout all of nature, as can be seen in rushing water passing through twists and turns in the mighty river. Light explodes in myriad refractions when it bounces off crystal orbs hanging from rearview mirrors. Rainbows are generated in the happy marriage of mist and light. This spiral of life also is used by all human beings for knowledge, understanding, empathy, compassion, problem solving, making life-saving treaties, common sense, bi-partisanship, and all other endeavors seeking to work for the benefit of all civilizations.
The first light also manifests in the vibrational frequency of the sound of “OM” from the oldest known literary work of the Rig Veda. OM symbolizes a beginning and a female divine energy. It is first mentioned in the Upanishads, the mystical text of Vedanta philosophy.
Notice breath is the connection to the Soul. When we stop breathing, our Soul goes back to the energy of God. Breathe in the life of wisdom each day of your life.
OM is also associated with Cosmic Sound, or Something Divine. It is the result of the generation of light. OM, also known as AUM, corresponds to the three stages of Cosmic Creation. When it is read or said, it vibrationally celebrates the creative powers of the infinite Universe.
These are Universal Laws, principles that always work for the uplifting of society. However, within humankind is also the gift of freedom and free will. This can be seen in every country’s politics on the earth when people become blinded by their own greed, power, and ego. It is one of life’s lessons that allows the dysfunction, oppression, and degradation of the humanity it promises to deliver from the very bondage they create.
Nationalism divides rather than unifies. Patriotism at the exclusion of any other national border and civilization also divides. It always has since the drop into time on Earth. There is a way to co-exist peacefully on planet Earth.
We observe the current the bombing between Israel and Palestine, the United States in trying to suppress voters, and racial inequality worldwide capturing our attention. It is free will choice of leaders to either work with the powerful light within them, or shut out the light by the strangulation of human rights. It is just as easily and quickly possible to switch to treating others the way we wish to be treated. Denying the reality that problems exist in our lives and in our nations is not the way to solve any problem. Peaceful intelligence, empathy, and compassion for everyone in the human race is the answer.
It is easy to point the fingers at “the other side” of any issue. But the reality is, the world will be a better place in which to live if we all do our peaceful part to be better human beings.
Notice how even a small light illuminates a dark room. That is how each one of us can begin, or begin again to shine our light of peaceful freedom achieved by sending positive messages to those who run our governments. It’s like a snowball growing little by little until it becomes large enough to be the bottom of a very large snowman.
There will always be dark in every corner of our one world we all live in. This is our life-long challenge. We do not need to be overcome by depression, gloomy moods, or render ourselves out of commission due to the negative thoughts, words, or actions someone else, or something else.
Instead, call on the light within you, the inspiration, the enthusiasm, the innovation, the possibility to turn the tide of conversation from dark to light. Rather than continuing to harp on the negative things we see happening, let us be beacons of light, like the lighthouse at the precipice of a rocky shore.
We shed light each time we seek to build up as opposed to tearing down. Finding common ground using common sense brings light into the situation, allowing for the brainstorming of innovative and novel approaches to solutions.
Within our own personal lives, we have much power to have a good day or a bad day. Stop blaming everyone and everything else for the troubles that befall each of us, and you will see a dramatic turnabout in the course of the day, or situation.
Problem solving does not happen by concentrating on the problem. Problem solving happens by concentrating on a host of numerous solutions.
Be the light which you wish to see in the world. It is contagious. Do not give up. This Earth and everyone on it is too precious to destroy by our own inaction.
Be a beacon of light right where you are. Begin with your thoughts. Dismiss dark and negative energies from your thoughts. Your thoughts do not think you. You think your thoughts. You are the boss of you, not negative energies. Light a candle, grid your property with crystals, cleanse the spaces where you live, increase your vibrational frequencies by what you read and what you allow yourself to hear. Help those in need.
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.” ~ Abraham Lincoln’s Speech, March 4, 1865
President Abraham Lincoln’s “Malice Toward None” speech in his Second Inaugural Address and Start of Reconciliation Between North and South Near the End of the Civil War on March 4, 1865 which sought to heal our divided nation could just as appropriately be delivered today.
One of the phrases that jumped out to me as I read this famous speech again was, “Both read the same bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other.”
The hearts of humanity find themselves again divided in similar topic these 155 years later. We are a nation still trying to reach for the stars of racial and gender equality while still stuck in the quicksand of bigotry, white supremacy and a patriarchal subculture.
Rosa Parks from Montgomery, Alabama initiated equal rights of all people within this United States of America that memorable day when she refused to give up her seat at the back of the bus to a white woman. Standing up for her human rights landed her in jail that night, but showed all people that we can peacefully say no to injustice. A boycott of every single black person not using the buses in the city lasted for 381 days ended when the bus segregation was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. It took ten years for segregation to be banned in any other state after Rosa Park’s brave “No.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on September 18, 2020, was a graduate of Harvard Law School. She broke through the glass ceiling of gender equality arguing six landmark cases on gender equality before the Supreme Court, followed by becoming the second female Supreme Court Justice in United States history.
Wilma Rudolph is an athlete who not only rose above racial and gender prejudice, but was also victorious over polio, which she contracted as a young girl, leaving her with a paralyzed leg. Her doctor told her she would never walk again, but her mother promised her she would. She not only had weekly doctor appointments, but also had her weak leg massaged by her twenty-one brothers and sisters each day. In order to walk, she wore braces, and endured the taunts of mean-hearted children in her neighborhood. Still, Wilma tried walking without the braces, then started playing basketball, and loved jumping and running. She competed in twenty races, winning every one of them, and broke three world records at the 1960 Olympics, earning her three gold medals. Before her death November 12, 1994, she was among the most highly known black women not only in the United States of America, but also worldwide.
Wilma Rudolph always said that the key to winning was knowing how to lose: “Nobody wins all the time. If you pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.”
This last inspirational quote by Wilma Rudolph can help The United States of America to heal today. It is not necessary to keep beating the drum of division, hatred for the other side. It is humanly possible to come together for the good of the country.
War is not a communication skill. It is possible to heal this nation without further death through the devastating COVID-19 (SARS Co2) pandemic, loss of life due to inner city violence, and systemic racism sweeping unabated in every state in this United States of America.
Let us again consider the timely points made by President Abraham Lincoln in his March 4, 1986 speech. Then it was called “Reconstruction.” Hopefully today we call it “Common Sense.”
“FELLOW COUNTRYMEN:
“At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then, a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth, on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention, and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
“On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded itโall sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without warโseeking to dissolve the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
“One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern half part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar, and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate and extend this interest, was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more, than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answeredโthat of neither, has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh.” If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove; and that He gives to both north and south this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hopeโfervently do we prayโthat this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphanโto do all which may achieve and cherish, a just and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
President Abraham Lincoln intended to mean that he and his administration would help the South to recover from the disastrous conditions, human and material, in which the war had reduced the same, without any feeling of revenge neither against those who had fought nor against their families.
Six to Seven million people are expected to die in the United States of America alone in the Herd Immunity exeriment. Start the healing with healing measures of social distancing and wearing masks.
The Grand Old Party, GOP, admits it is following a Herd Immunity track as a “cure” for COVID 19. First of all, please realize that this is a fringe medicine concept. There is no cure for COVID-19, also known as SARS Co2, a highly contagious and deadly coronavirus. There are no vaccines currently available for the COVID-19 pandemic and are not expected to be available until next summer.
This means that since there are 331 million people in the US and experts say 70 percent of the population would have to get the virus for herd immunity to work, 231.7 million of us would have to get it. Since the current death rate is from 2.6 to 3 percent of all those who get the virus, 6 to 7 million of us would die. So if this is your idea for a cure, you might want to say good-bye to your parents and grandparents now. Or maybe vote for someone who has a better plan.
Children do get this deadly virus and many have already died from it. They can also be carriers, spreading COVID-19 to others even if they show no symptoms. Taking temperatures and having fevers is a symptom of COVID-19 that may not show up for 14 days, while continuing to spread this virus.
There are some Utah hospitals now at the point of needing to decide to give better care to the younger sick patients, hoping for better survival rates for the young.
Masks and social distancing are proven methods to bring a country to be COVID-19 free, like New Zealand. It’s called delayed gratification. Delayed gratification is a mature response to social dilemmas. By doing the right thing now, we can move past the juvenile approach to wearing mask and social distancing adult temper tantrums.
Remember, it is a secret vote when you cast your ballot. Even if you once voted for the current President, if you want to keep your health insurance including coverage for pre-existing conditions which include coverage for COVID-19, you can vote for Biden/Harris and it will be covered. Please know that the Affordable Health Care Act is on the chopping block in November on the Supreme Court docket, where it is expected to be cut altogether of the incumbent gets back in.
All human life is precious. We all matter. Human life is not expendable in a civilized society.
How many people have said, “This is just my opinion. I have a right to my opinion. That’s just the way I am.”? Everyone has a right to their own opinion. However, prejudice is not an opinion, nor is it “just they way I am.” Prejudice is a mental disease, a value of hate that is taught through families, friends, and society.
Prejudice is taught. Prejudice is an ignorant teaching. No one is born with a prejudiced mindset. It is also part of the poverty “rich vs poor” mentality, which includes the “us vs them.” It also infiltrates to the “we are better than them,” no matter which side of belief we are on.
The problem occurs when we atttempt to make prejudice be normal, or just another thought or value system someone has. Society never does well when we pretend any form of mental illness is normal.
How close to mental illness do you choose to get? Prejudice is a choice. No matter what our parents, friends or people in our circle of life believe, we always have the choice in what we believe as an individual.
I have had people tell me they have a right to be prejudiced, that the only crime is to act out in harmful or criminal ways. This is faulty reasoning. What you think about, you bring about.
If you encourage others with words full of prejudice then they commit a crime because they are emboldened by your words, you are culpable in their crimes. Charles Manson was.
A white person told me that they carry a gun and could shoot a black person with no problem. This is the form of mental disease that prejudice takes. It shows the beginning of thinking, speaking and acting out in hate, not simply “believing what I want to believe.”
I could be bipolar, which used to be called manic-depressive, and say, “I was born like this. It is in my DNA.” That would be an accurate statement. But since prejudice is not in our DNA, it is a mindset that shapes how we choose to lives our lives, to say “I was born like this” is not a true statement.
Prejudice is an ignorant, deformed mental concept. It serves no one, except the most ignorant and un-Christian among us. Jesus never taught nor practiced prejudice. This mental illness has been with humanity since people populated the earth. But prejudice has not been recognized for what it truly is, a mental disease.
Some of us fall into the weakness of prejudice by becoming victims of it, or by becoming bullies by it. Neither side is healthy. Both sides can heal, but only with the truth that all human beings work together, regardless of race, color, creed, gender, age and any other difference which makes us human. Our variety as human beings is what makes us unique and lovable, not deplorable.
If we only look at the crimes and outrage taking over cities in the United States these days, while not looking at what sparked this in the first place, we would be willfully ignorant of the facts ourselves. Facts are not opinions.
The spin of liars in the world is to call true facts “fake news.” That is the tip off, the red flag that someone is lying to you. Those who tell the truth never call the other side “fake news.” Only liars use those words.
Changes obviously need to be made. Staying relatively quiet since the days of Martin Luther King, Jr. has not stopped the sinister wave of hate prumulgated through the United States and the world under the subculture of white supremacy including prejudice in all its hideous forms.
We need to take off the blinders to the reality of how we treat all people in all situations, stop red-lining districts, stop political and willful conniving to scam the system, and stop pretending mental illness is normal, and stop putting prejudiced lawmakers and judges, all of whom are examples of the mental illness of prejudice in public office.
Prejudice has nothing to do with being educated, it has to with a deformed mental understanding of humanity. That is why prejudice is a mental illness. It is deformed.
The solution to the mental disease of prejudice is to call it what it is, mental illness. Mental illness is treatable. We as a country as well as the world can heal from every form of prejudice. Some people are prejudiced against the mentally handicapped, or people from other lands or beliefs, not just against people who are not exactly the same color of skin that we have. Still, all prejudice is a mental shortcoming, a defect that ought not to be treated as normal.
While systemic racisim has blinded many people, it is not a disease that is incurable. We need to deal with the core issue of racisim, which is prejudice, which erroneously thinks that one brand of people is better than another.
We are all the same in the eyes of God.
There is only one race of people, the human race.
It is time we mentally heal, and educate ourselves to all the goodness diversity has to offer.
It is time we mentally heal, and choose empathy and compassion over mental illness, including narcisism.
It is possible to heal with our very next thought. Reach out to help others. Use words of kindness.
It is possible to heal mental illness through counseling, support, and prayer.
It is just as easy to build each other up as to tear each other down.
If we start with a positive solution today, we can live in a better world tomorrow.
Former President Barak Obama walking with then White House photographer Pete Souza. “The Way I See It” aired last night and is worth mentioning in this post.
“The Way I See It” turns out to be the most compelling and profound television special that aired last night, in my book, returning hope for humanity, especially within the United States of America. My soul, parched from the depravation of fluid common sense, civility and ordinary care in our political areana, drank in the empathy and compassion of previous Presidential administrations.
Hope returned to my heart and light of empathetic care of all people ignited that spark of possibility of what could be again.
It is not only other people and other administrations who can bring about the necessary changes that uplift us. We need to be better people.
Everyday we all get the choices our free will suggests to us. Focusing on and building peace is possible even in the face of unpeaceful situations, unrest, disharmony sparked by dark agendas. We shine our light on these situations without being duped by the antagonism of white supremicists, for example.
Seeing the dignity displayed in “The Way I See It,” as presented by Pete Souza, the White House photographer for Former President Barak Obama, my heart melted, which until I saw this television special, was unaware it was holding onto so much fear and trepidation from our previous four years of daily and often hourly lies, disinformation, and authorian/oligarch terror for our country.
I could look outside of myself and say the United States will be so much better off with other leadership at the helm, but the truth is, the United States will also be much better off when we all take off our one-sided blinders we have donned, like a horse with its blinders on while running the race. How is it possible to make any decision when we only look at one side?
I have tried countless times, and will still continue to try, to reach the hearts and minds of others who are cemented into the bucket of lies they have been sold as if these lies were the truth. It is as if they are rooting for their sports team, that no matter what, that is their team. Their screams and yells have only derogatory slanders, no facts or integrity. They do not realize they have had the wool pulled over their eyes. They believed the lies. I am a firm believer that truth comes out in the end.
There is more than one agenda, one lie, within the current administration, than the one that is being sold to citizens of the USA. For example, present powers say they will not touch your health insurance. I’ve had people tell me they do not have “The Affordable Care Act (ACA),” or “Obamacare,” that they have “Aetna” or some other insurance company. However, what they do not understand is that they have the things their insurance company currently gives them because The Affordable Care Act is a law, requiring all insurance companies to comply, at the moment, covering pre-existing conditions and regulating what your co-pays can be. Without these regulations, insurance companies will go the way all business goes when left to greedy agendas.
If the same administration gets voted in in November 3, the ACA is on the chopping block. If that happens, they promise to destroy the ACA and the provisions currently available. November 10 is when the case on whether or not to keep the Affordable Care Act comes up in the Supreme Court. If it is dropped, with no replacement in sight, you may find yourself having to deal with pre-existing conditions not being replaced, and skyrocketing co-pays and premeiums. This is not a lie. Check out this news for yourself.
Look online, not only at FOX News, or your local Dunkin Donuts friends. Go to reputable sources that have no bias, and who have real reporters, not just columnists who are paid to tell their particular point of view. Reputable news outlets are: Associated Press (AP), Reuters, The Guardian, NPR, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Axios, PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS. These are center, not right or left wing. Of those, I think the absolute best would be AP and PBS. They is on every list that is unbiased.
Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I see the inspiration that is possible. It comes from the way we treat ourselves and one another, with empathy and compassion. When empathy and compassion are missing in the political areana, political greed for power and money usurp the brains of otherwise would-be decent people.
Let us begin, or begin again, with a focus on decency, civility, honor, integrity in how we live our lives, speak in conversations, and VOTE in the coming election on November 3.
This is what the United States really looks like, United Humanity, not only white Americans.
“ANTIFA” is a philosophy, not a group of people. It means “Anti Fascist.”
What does is mean to be a Fascist?
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Fascism means:
a form of extreme-right authoritarianism
ultra nationalism
characterized by dictatorial power
forceable suppression of opposition
strong regimentation of society and the economy.
ANTIFA started in the early 1900s, around the time of World War I. People of every ethnicity, race, color, creed, gender, age, ability and/or disability are born with God-given free will. People do not wish to be dominated, nor treated unfairly or be suppressed by a political power, nor by elitist political and/or financial greed. WWI was supposed to put an end to worldwide domination by military force.
The ideals of Freedom and Democrary are so ingrained in American politics that the Founders of the United States of America wrote in the Preamble to the Constitution of the US:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
The ratification of the Convention held on Monday, September 17, 1787 promoted the rights and priviliges of those in government, including the rights of its citizens. Our government is based upon life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens, not just those at the top of political power, nor at the top of wealth earners.
The rights and priviliges are not for the of suppression of:
human rights including the immigration of persecuted asylum seekers
stealing and selling of babies and children also considered to be part of human trafficking
voting rights
women’s rights
global warming and climate change
rainforest destruction
fracking for profit at the expense of earthquakes and care of the earth
truth in lending practices including the wealthiest among us
truth in reporting and news coverage
truth in all areas
We have not seen Fascism in the United States of America until now.
Why is that?
The opposite of Fascism is ANTIFA. It means Anti-Fascism. To a nation based on freedom and liberty for all,ANTIFA is a GOOD thing as a peaceful stand, unless you happen to be a Fascist.
The opposite of Fascism is DEMOCRACY, and LIBERALISM. To BE AGAINST Antifa is to be a FASCIST.
Are you a Fascist?
Do you promote a Fascist agenda?
If you discover you are a Fascist, you need to find another country to be part of.
The Law of Life involes the law of self-transcendence. Nothing stays the same. We are always growing. We move forward. We also regress. We are individuals, in every country of the world, who are involved with this Law of Life. This affects every country in the world as well. Countries expand and contract according to their individual and collective awareness and group consciousness.
We see this in all areas of life. If we stifle education, we stagnate. If creation and art sparks exciting new curriculums, education thrives. If we stifle momentum forward in any area of civic and political life, we stagnate. If we give liberty and light to ideas and plans to benefit all of society, all of society progresses forward in mind, body and spirit.
“Apart from its early golden ages, earth’s history has been bowed down to a stifling economic totalitarianism run by pagan gods. In the founding of the United States of America, Saint Germain and those working with him determined to break that stranglehold.
“And they proposed to replace the old order of the gods with true God-government – where the government is squarely upon the shoulders of the Holy Christ Self of every citizen – with an ecomony based on the golden rule and the gold standard and the principle of the abundant Life, and also along with the Holy Spirit directing the free creativity of the people in religion and education, science and the arts.
“Yes, Saint Germain stands along with Mother Liberty to set us free from that idolatrous paganism where the old gods reborn are often the new stars of screen and stage, the nouveau riche or royalty or the old guard on Wall Street, aristocracies and jet sets on the power elite who gather in secret societies like the Order or covens like the Bohemian Grove – one and all ever worshiped by the masses.
“Some strands of paganism have their roots in the worship of the gods, the space people, called Nephilim because they fell (landed? in rocket ships?) or were cast out of heaven by Archangel Michael.” Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet in Lost Teachings on Keys to Spiritual Life.
I am glad to have Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet writing these words in this book, Lost Teachings on Keys to Spiritual Life, copyrighted in 2005. The words shared then are just as appropriate for our time now, just 15 years later. Truth can be spoken at any time and benefit everyone, because truth does not change. The words of Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet are real and true for what is happening at this moment, even in the United States of America.
There is more I will share with you in upcoming posts on Saint Germain, Jesus, and others’ work in setting the United States of America off on the right foot of freedom, liberty and justice for all. However, anyone with eyes can also see how easy it is to lose these noble attributes when we do not pay enough attention to totalitarian takeovers in the midst of them happening. Political, authoritarian, oligarachy leadership robs from the people for the benefit of those at the top. It is a misuse of personal free will to ignorantly vote in such leadership, which is tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot, then blaming other people for what you did. Compromised, scheming, malfeasance in leadership roles seek to diminish or eliminate social programs, like social security, medicare and medicaid, in order that these funds go directly or indirectly into their own pockets. These leaders seek to destroy or eliminate voting rights and all rights, including human rights, which are God-given.
Did you know reincarnation was taught by Jesus, as well as by Saint Francis of Assisi who taught about reincarnation in the public square? There is a connection between the topic of this post thus far, and the subject of reincarnation.
Most reincarnation references in the bible were ripped out of the sacred pages at the Fifth Ecumenical Council convened in Constantinople in 553 AD, yet some references still remain in today’s bible. Some of the notable men and women who professed to believe in reincarnation were: Benjamin Franklin, Louisa May Alcott, Leo Tolstoy, Empress Elisabeth of Austria, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Lindbergh, General George Patton and at least a third of the world’s population.
At the time of the biblical surgery, carving out the doctrine of re-embodiment that was taught by Jesus, men decided they knew better than Jesus about the life after this one earthly life. These “Church Fathers” did not understand the Law of Karma, of cause and effect in each human life. Think of one example Jesus taught us in Galatians 6:7 where it reads, “Do not be deceived. Whatever a man sows he also reaps.” It takes more than one lifetime for this sowing and reaping.
We work out the karma from previous lifetimes in this one. It takes more than one lifetime to “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect,” according to Jesus.
Responsibility is what we are lacking when we deny reincarnation, and is the reason for multiple incarnations. We do make up for what we lack in the school of life, over and over, until we get it right. We need to listen to our consciences, and build on ethics, honesty, integrity, and problem solving that does not include lying, cheating, bullying, manipulating persons – places and things at every selfish motive and opportunity.
It is our ego, our Id-entity, that we need to watch over and reign in when it is harmful to us and others. The pendulum of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has a wide swing. The further it goes in one direction, with equal and opposite force, it will swing in the opposite direction. It is not motionless until it rests in complete balance, harmony and Love in the center point of Life, Liberty and Justice for All.
God is no punisher of mortals. We punish ourselves. We have free will to use or misuse the gifts of life in front of us. We have the free will to steal babies from their mother’s arms and sell them to the highest bidder in “legal adoptions.” We have the free will to cage destitute brothers and sisters of humanity fleeing murder, rape and war in their countries of origin. We have free will to rape these same human beings we have caged; and either lie or brag about it. We have free will to lie, cheat and steal political and voting mechanisms to our favor, using a bottomless, self-serving money pit to fuel its progress at the expense of our destitute and dying on the city streets of the United States of America. We have the free will to do all of these things.
Either we were saints who forgot to ascend in a previous life, or we have totally misunderstood what it means to be truly human in this lifetime. Now is not forever. Let us make up for our losses while we can before it is too late. Jesus does tell us that there will be an end of time, in his teachings about the Alpha and Omega, an end to the countless lives we have lived to perfect ourselves. Presently we still have time to do the right thing.
The right thing for the longevity for the earth is to notice the cause and effect, the karma that we are causing in the seeds we are sowing on earth. For example, we have selfishly turned to frackking, forcing unqualified volumes of water deep into the earth as we do in oil prospecting. This produces lots of oil, while at the same time generates lots of earthquakes. The polar caps are melting at unpresidented rates. Without the seeds of intelligence, consciousness and natural laws regarding climate change and global warming, which every single one of us has caused and is still allowing to get worse, the earth will revolt as it has in the past when things get too far out of balance. Considering the actions of its citizens and its leaders, the United States of America has the highest rate confirmed cases of the deadly pandemic known as coronavirus, COVID-19, SARS CO2, and other handles, as well as the highest death rate in the world due to this disease. There are some who deny its existence and/or the numbers tallied in certain countries, including the United States of America. Ignorance blames the spreading of this particular virus on other causes, without realizing it is this very highly contagious and often deadly virus that breaks down the other systems of the body which it targets. All of these things can improve by the conscious, self-aware use of our God-given free will. We can either build up the United States of America and solve its current dilemmas with creative, life-affirming actions, or we can tear down the United States of America via selfishness, greed, power and/or ignorance.
It is possible to kill Lady Liberty, lose all the rights afforded to its citizens written into the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, or any other constitution of all other countries. It is possible to go backwards by believing untruths we know to be lies. Some of us do not believe we are being lied to by the one channel we listen to, as if listening to only one side of an argument got anyone anywhere. Countries and people go backwards when selfish greed and power-hungry narcissistic egomaniacs rule. History proves this to be true in all countries since the beginning of time.
It is equally possible to kill liberty and freedom as Jesus originally taught it to the people of his time, before the adulterated version of today’s bible in the year 365 AD at the Council of Laodicea. Only a miniscule amount of the words of Jesus are in today’s many versions of the bible, putting a major crimp that would have educated all of us to the deeper truths he taught, including: reincarnation, the right of women to go to the alter, and that your Spirit is part of the Holy Spirit, which is your I AM Presence, your God Particle. Jesus taught everyone who would listen about their own Christ self. There is much more that Jesus told us that got ripped out of the bible, which we can now read in the Books of Enoch and the sacred scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, Eqypt, as well as in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Thank God someone, a scribe, rabbi, or a learned person thought to hide these sacred scriptures away until such a time when humanity was at a point of their quest for what was obviously missing, to be discovered. Now these writings give us a much broader picture of not only him, but us as well. Jesus does specifically say that the kingdom of God is WITHIN you in today’s bible in Luke 17:21. Let us not forget that.
We are all smarter than this. If we use our free will to choose to do nothing while we are at sea in a plastic row boat with a hole in the bottom of it, then we will undoubtedly reap the seeds we have sown; so will every country that is allowed to rule unchecked. Money and power are the tools used to usurp the rights of others. Silence is agreement.
Find truth, not what someone else tells you is the truth. Search history online or in books, not from anyone with “a chip in the game.” It is no game. It is your money and your personal power crooked politicians and religious leaders want to usurp. Not all politicians are crooked. Most religious leaders are ignorant of the writings of Jesus they have not read. and therefore cannot teach. Look at the start of yesterday’s post. Jesus said these exact words. Unless you actually do the research yourself, not what the one TV channel with your point of view states, nor your groups of like-minded friends tell you, you will not be able to see clearly enough which leader is being bought, being used or manipulated. If you can read this blog, you can read shorter historical facts.
Make a peaceful but conscious decision to not let your freedoms be extinguished. Stand peacefully but be determined not to let liberty and justice for all vanish before your very eyes. War and violence ae not communication skills, nor were they promoted as a way to do or get anything.
Seek freedom and liberty in all areas of your life, for all people, not just for a chosen few.
“Through the law of karma God wants you to learn by the fruits you harvest from your own Tree of Life just what is the sweet and what is the bitter you have sown. And self-correct.” Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Have A Beautiful Day!
Testing for symptoms as a means to see if people have the coronavirus is like leaving the barn door open after the horse has escaped. It obviously does not work, since people who have COVID-19 are CONTAGIOUS 14-21 DAYS PRIOR TO THE APPEARANCE OF SYMPTOMS. Testing for fevers before going into any building will remove a suspected person with the killer virus, but only after he or she has infected numerous other people for those 14-21 days prior to the temperature taking.
There is a false semse of security out there today. We are not used to dealing with pandemics these days. It has been over a century since we dealt with smallpox. We seem to have forgotten how we got rid of polio and other diseases.
This is not just about the money.
Lives matter. Black lives matter. Blue lives matter. Red lives matter. Yellow lives matter. Brown lives matter. While all colors of people matter, there is a systemic worldwide racism that says, to this very day, that black lives do not matter. I am pointing out the growing number of white supremists in this country. While this is not the reality of some black and Latino doctors, lawyers and successful people, it is the reality for many black and Latino people across America. So while I mention that all lives matter, I am especially pointing our that black and brown lives matter. These are the people in our inner cities suffering the most in this COVID-19 pandemic.
It is a lie to say the curve in the United States of America is flattening. It is not. If you take the New York State stastics out of the picture, the statistics for the US go straight up. We are foolishly fooling ourselves. We all will pay the price for our own willful ignorance.
If havingย 1,699,634 confirmed cases in the United States of America today, up 19,056 from yesterday, (that is, taken from only those who have been tested, which is less than 1 percent of our total population), then go out across America with your families. Board airplanes, go to sporting events, go to churches and wherever else you want to tempt fate.
Even those of us who thought this was all a hoax and denying reality are now burying their dead.
If havingย 93,271 confirmed cases in Massachusetts today, up by 596 since yesterday, does not matter to you, then go out with your families.
If havingย 155,092 confirmed cases in New Jersey today, which is 938 more than yesterday, does not matter to you, then go out with your families.
If having 112,017 conformed cases in Illinois today, which is more than 1,713 than yesterday, does not matter to you, then go out with your families.
If having 68,186 confirmed cases in Pennsylvania today, which is 473 more than yesterday, does not matter too you, then go out with your families.
In New York, if having a total of 362,764 confirmed cases today, which is more than 1,249 more than yesterday, does not matter to you, then go ahead and plan your traditional Memorial Day celebrations.
Memorial Day celebrations, especially for those veterans in veteran’s homes across the country will never be the same, because in this case, we inflicted our own veterans with death by our stupidity. They made it through wars. They made it back home. They made it into old age. But so many veterans did not make it at this point at the end of their lives because those at the top of the command chose ignorance over science-based care.
I debated on the word “stupidity” in the preceeding paragraph. Why did I stay with that word?ย We are all living in a time when we seem perfectly fine deluding ourselves on so many matters, because of financial interest, jobs, political interests, you name it, because of some other benefit other than the truth of the matter. This general lack of truth malaise has now insideously crept its way into present life and death situations. Going along with ignorance as if it were truth is literally stupid of us. We are better than this.
It is humanly possible to put out our American flags in honor of Memorial Day, watch parades and special ceremonies on TV, without going to large gatherings which are known to fester and spread the coronavirus like wildfire.
Just because I CAN do something, does not mean that I SHOULD go out and do something someone else tells us to do. You and I have the unique ability to stop this COVID-19 in its tracks. You and I are in charge of ourselves. We have the unique choice to stop the spread of COVID-19, or choose to live with it forever. How you and I decide to individually handle this pandemic personally is how this pandemic will continue to live or not live.
I choose for the people to live, not the pandemic.
All our veterans would thank us for a job well done if we choose to put an end to this pandemic, first in our home, neighborhood, state, country, continent and world.
