Ameria's Divine purpose, which gave rise to its founding, merged the human goal of creating a new and independent nation, with the divine goal of creating a home for the highest light to inhabit. This light was to be a beacon for all nations and for the interplanetary harmonic of which the Earth would one day be a part.
The America of generosity and of forbearance, of tolerance for diversity and of welcoming to all whose life of need brought them to her shores, is disappearing into the shadows of a new version that is self-protective instead of generous, self-seeking instead of embracing of the world. This America has lost touch with its essential heart with which it must be reunited again.
The erosion of democracy is not a matter of one catastrophic action that takes place in a nation which visibly and directly abridges civil liberties or creates a flagrant abuse of power. It happens in the middle of the night, in the silence of uncertain observers who both see and do not see what is occurring. It happens while individuals who compose a nation sleep their sleep and dream their dreams, not suspecting that unforeseen events are going to befall them.
Those who adhere to the principles of light and love, who seek to uphold the earth in her present struggle to move into a new era of peace and light, are being called now to come together in their hearts to pray for the world, for the situation is dire, and the capacity for a single movement that would catapult the world into open military engagement very great.
A subject like "America's Presidential Campaigns" that is so 'of the world' might be construed as relating only to political life, but that would be incorrect. What relates to consciousness is part of our spiritual life, as is what relates to the operation of light and darkness, and what relates to the vision we hold for the future.
The longing for renewal that beats so strongly and increasingly in the hearts of many, is a longing for a restoration of the single note of pure idealism that once so informed America's outlook on life and her purpose in the world. It is the wish for a restoration of the sense of positive movement forward that has been present in other epochs in history and that, in the view of many, is not present at this time.
The healing of a nation is as crucial to the forward movement of the expansion of light on the earth as the healing of individuals, and is, in fact, part of that healing. For each nation has a soul and a soul-purpose and comes into existence to manifest a certain portion of the earth's consciousness and energy that will lead to the greatest wellbeing for all.
The freedoms of yesterday are as priceless today as they were then. They are necessary to the furtherance of the destiny of America and they are necessary to the furtherance of the right of a people to maintain self-representation as the basis for a democratic form of government.
Wherever exclusion around the principle of liberty occurs, there, too, does the republic of America become weaker and less aligned with its founding vision and spiritual strength. Not only does such exclusion perpetuate direct harm and discomfort to those who are deprived of their liberties. It also perpetuates direct harm to the social fabric of America that can no longer believe in its ideals.
The need for healing as the earth moves into a higher vibration of light applies not only to individuals, but to nations, and not only to nations, but to the symbols of nations that represent their essence. Thus, the flag of America is in need of healing as is her consciousness, and that which enables the consciousness of America to reawaken to its true proportions and purpose, will also heal the flag and restore its full measure of light.
