Dear Mr. President:

I watched your little talk from the toy factory. It was great. I posted it on my face book page, as I am sure millions of others did as well. I also saw and posted Joe's bit at Costco.

I think that using the internet for these kinds of information messages is wonderful. It will reach many more of our people, especially our younger brothers and sisters. During the election process, I talked with many of these younger people. I was amazed with the lack of knowledge and awareness

regarding simple issues like unemployment, student loans, lousy wages, and the use of part time work to avoid paying benefits,  if they did have jobs. I encountered any number who were terrified to say anything for fear of being fired or "Walmarted" as they termed it, and I met a couple who had been fired by managers who enjoyed doing it.

So, the more of this sort of messaging that can be done the better.

There is another level of messaging as well. It is the kind of messaging that has to do with Principles, with justice, freedom, dignity, kindness. I know in my bones that you are a Teacher. I also know that you are acutely aware of these Principles because you model them.

I urge you to talk to us about these touchstones which are the building blocks of a just world. Such messages will do far more than inform us about the very important details of getting bills passed and what that means. Such messages will touch our hearts, ignite and reignite the flame that made us what we are. Please give some thought to this.

loving us

Dear Mr. President:

Well, as we knew we would be, we were triumphant in this most recent struggle with the Retrogressors. Once again, we have seen that "from the beginning they struggled. From the beginning we triumphed." We triumph because we put everything we have and are into the struggle.

   

So, onward!

I suppose that you will be getting lots of input for your inaugural speech; however, I would like to suggest some ideas around frequencies and themes that would be most beneficial to the reconstruction of the Planet, the Nation, our neighborhoods, and the unfolding of our destiny.

As the physicist will gladly tell us, there are no coincidences. There is only a chain of cause and effect. We think of this chain as something that goes back in time, and it does. However, it also involves the unfolding of Cosmic Principle from inner dimensions, or the future, a process in which time, because it is relatively endless, while still important, is not such a huge factor.

From the beginning of this Nation, relative as that may be, we were a continuation of the manifestation of the expanding ability of human consciousness to register or see the unfolding Cosmic Principle of Unanimity. The fact that in the last analysis there is only one world and one humanity was growing more clear to us every year. That inner longing for freedom and equality that drove us from the stagnating conditions of Royalty and privilege supplied the will and the courage to strive, no matter the cost, to implement those conditions that foster the expansion of Reality on the physical dimension, as nearly true to the Impulse as we can, into Law, into  systems, programs and structures that support the One World and the One Humanity. Thus was born this Nation.

In 1966, some 200 or so years into the current chapter of the Great Struggle, humanity launched a rocket that made it possible for us to actually see a photo of the One World, an image of Earth from space. As we know, for many of us, seeing is believing. This photo, and the many more that followed, gave physical evidence to what we have known for eons to be a fact. It became an omnipresent and very powerful symbol of the fact of the One World.

This symbol has in the intervening 45 years or so begged for meaning. The search for that meaning by thinking people the world around was like a fermenting yeast in Human consciousness. While still very much in the bud, Concepts like The Common Good and The General Welfare grew from idealistic fantasies not only into visible facts but to real, achievable goals for Humanity. Neil Armstrong's first step on the Sea of Tranquility in 1969, was a significant sign-post of our ultimate destiny.

These were steps, small but significant, in our history. There have been "giant steps" (as well, the Constitution, the Civil war,  The Four Freedoms and our collective triumph in the Great War over the retrogressive forces of the Nazis) that are easily recognized as growth points in our evolution. To me the step which mankind took in this past election, the step that reelected you, was one of those giant steps.

You, of course, understand that although the election was held here in the United States it was the Good Will of the world's people that helped generate the power which swept us to victory. This Good Will was generated and fostered by the steps you took, mostly ignored or not even noticed by the forces of retrogression, in the realm we call "foreign affairs". Your efforts and those of Ambassadors Clinton and Susan Rice in terms of including Humanity in our visions for freedom and equality were enormously effective ideas in the reelection.

The reelection in itself was a step of affirmation, a step that revealed the continuing expansion of consciousness that we as a people have made in the past 12 years, a step that indicated that we are committed to the Principles of the Common Good and the General Welfare for Humanity.

So, these are the themes and frequencies that I suggest you consider deeply in your upcoming inaugural address: One Humanity, the essential divinity and value of every single human being; One World, reveling the nature of our relationship with this planet, our role as stewards of it; The Common Good and the General Welfare, Ideas that include not only the world's people, but the planet.

I also think it would be good to keep in mind that you are addressing not just our citizens, but the citizens of the world, all of whom will be watching and listening.

lots of love

Dear Mr. President:

I am and have always been confident that we will emerge triumphant from the present stage of Humanities eons long struggle to create a world that is in balance with Reason and Beauty, with the Cosmos. "From the beginning they struggled, from the beginning we conquered." Largely because of the collective vision of the One Humanity, of the value and divinity of each one of us which you hold and model, I have known from the "get-go" of this particular struggle that you would be leading us into the dimensions of peace, of mutual respect, appreciation and world community which are opening before a united Humanity.

You lead with love, with compassion and understanding, gained through deep experience. It is not surprising that your vision of embracing the whole was/is not understood by many of our liberal brothers. These energies which you bring to the struggle generate cooperative reconstruction rather than competitive and forceful destruction.

We have been following the path of force and domination for untold eons. And although we have continually conquered, progress towards the destiny of the harmony and beauty of the One Humanity was painfully slow for at the end of each period of struggle, whichever side "won" only invited a counter stroke.

The Path of cooperation and reconstruction is always more difficult to implement than destruction and force because it struggles to include all of us. This is the path which you have set before, not only us in the United States, but in the Community of Nations which make up our Planet.

I do not think that this election is the last battle, but it is the beginning of the end of war on all dimensions, and it is beginning of the laying of the foundations for the future of co-creative cooperation of all of Humanity in the building the new truly civil civilization.

I want to thank you for the model of leadership which you have provided for us. It is reminiscent of some words I encountered some time ago. Perhaps you are familiar with the following:

 "My Hands know not repose. My Head upholds the weight of the works. My Mind searches out the solidity of solutions. The power of experience defeats alien infirmity. At the point of loss do I pour in the new possibilities. On the line of retreat I build strongholds. In the eyes of the enemy I wave the banner. I call the day of fatigue a day of repose. I recognize a manifestation of non-understanding as rubbish on the threshold. I can conceal the sacred in the folds of a working garment. A miracle means for Me only the mark of a horseshoe. Courage means for Me only the arrow in the quiver. Resoluteness for Me is only the daily bread." Community, 70.

What's Happening!

As has been pointed out, "energy follows thought." The real battle for human freedom and dignity, as it always has been, is being waged on mental and emotional dimensions. It is the results of these struggles that finally manifest on the dense physical plane either as laws and policies that lead toward freedom and dignity or toward continued bondage and suffering.

Most of the wars which break out the dense physical plane are the effects of greed and corruption. They are the efforts of the "Owners" or as they have renamed themselves, the "Job Creators" to improve their personal standing in the hierarchy of privilege or to simply "harvest their investments."

On the other hand, the wars raging on the ground in Syria and other places in the Middle East are effects of a very long smoldering determination on the emotional and mental planes of the will to be free. The Arab Spring is an effect of that determination to live free by hundreds of millions of not free Arab people. The slave holders, could not be moved by reason or compassion to release the people from bondage. This war is the result of that intransigence and evil.

In this country, we had to go to war on the dense physical on several occasions to establish and maintain our freedom which we call democracy. Since the terrible Civil War, we have been able to avoid actual war among ourselves; and we have moved forward, if slowly,  through discussion, compassion, cooperation and respect.

However, in recent times, roughly since 1945, the end of the World War in which they were driven from the dense physical plane, the Retrogressors, who are not even remotely interested in Freedom and Justice for all, have refocused their efforts to maintain their hold on humanity and the planet to the mental and emotional planes. And it is on these dimensions that the battle for human freedom and even survival is now being waged.

Make no mistake about the fact that "energy follows thought". Both the advances, the establishment of The United Nations, the Civil Rights Laws to give just two examples, and the loses, the current unemployment situation and the national debt are effects of the battle being waged on these two higher dimensions.

  

A clear example of the intensity and scope of this battle is the offensive that was launched by the Retrogressors some 30 years ago. The code name for this particular sophistic lash up, which is a complete plan to subvert government of the people, by the people, for the people, was Supply Side or Trickle-down economics. This multilayered charade is the most recent of any number of similar concoctions such as the Divine Right of Kings, Lords and Ladies, Captains of Industry and so on.

Of all places, it was ginned up at the University of Chicago, the home of the great humanist Robert Hutchins, by what had to be a group of reincarnated sophists from ancient Greece who were still intent on destroying that ancient fountain of Truth, The Academy. I am referring to those who persecuted Pythagoras, had Plato sold into slavery, and were responsible for the death of Socrates.

This offensive, not at all trickling, has been a devastating flood to human dignity, freedom, justice. It has created  great damage to the institutions, imperfect as they are, which we are trying to evolve to maintain our democratic way of life. As we see daily on our televisions, facts, and Truth itself are almost meaningless.

Fortunately today, there is a sufficient number of us who in addition to processing thoughtforms, actually think, and we know that Cosmic Life is not a top down or bottom up finite linear system. It is an infinite multidimensional, Nothing into Something from the Center out Reality. We know because we have direct experience of this reality.

We have experienced that there is nothing even remotely like trickle in Cosmos. There is infinity, inexhaustible energy beyond our ability to even imagine. Likewise, there is nothing in Divine Intention about major portions of the ever expanding Light being diverted by a few psychotic mentalities into deep reservoirs for the exclusive us of the privileged few "job creators" who will dribble it out in sufficient amounts to keep the "job doers" or wage slaves from dying.

Well, it is, finally becoming clear to a large enough sector of  the general population that we have, once again, been scammed. Trickle-down economics is another example of ancient sophistry designed to delude humanity and divert or stall the progress of multidimensional Evolution. Like all of their scams, trickle-down was and is another major distortion of the Divine Expansion of Life which moves "from beyond all names and forms" into manifestation.

What we see playing out on our the political stage now in 2012 is the last frenzied assault of the Retrogressors. While perhaps none has been as crucial as this one, history is full of these moments.  Except for a few occasions, including the collapse of Atlantis which did not work out that well for us, these moments always occur before the final collapse of the retrogressive forces.

Currently,  the Retrogressors have pulled out all stops. However, the times have changed. Evolution has been working. In spite of the thirty year vacation we apparently took, this time, because of our growing realization and understanding of our essential divinity, and the fact of the One Humanity and the One World which we have gained in the long struggle back from our self centered defeat at Atlantis, we will emerge triumphant.

This present  fear driven, psychotic  frenzy of the Retrogressors, while creating huge short term suffering and fear has only worked to bring their cruelty, ignorance, greed, and selfishness into the Light. In spite of the Law that made it possible for Corporations and private "super-pacs" to pump billions of dollars into the people's elections and to keep their identity hidden many of these self serving million and billionaires, formerly seldom seen and almost totally unknown, are being exposed.

These individuals have always been the power, or just say money, behind these offensives. However, the exposure of the offensive as privately designed and funded solely for the purpose of fostering the systems of  private ownership of property, exclusivity, and greed, has brought it out from the shadows and made it very clear for us to see. The most recently unveiled bit of sophistry in this scam is what is called the Person Amendment which intends to make a fertilized egg able to own property.

During the coming days, we must not confuse the holding and use of power with hubris, greed, gluttony, cruelty and amorality. On the long journey to the place we now occupy, we have all passed through the tests of holding power in any number of forms in the material world. The test was the use we made of the power.

It is only reasonable that until we can manage to serve the common good and general welfare with the power available to us on these planes, we will not be allowed to enter into the levels of the power of the Cosmos. There are many brothers and sisters who control and direct power, some in enormous amounts, with love and wisdom, and I am not referring to just money here. Evolution concerns the development of beings who can access the power of the Cosmos, and not get caught up in the insanity of separation, who can co-create with Cosmic Intention. Our planet is a training ground for such a destiny.

What did you think we were doing here?

Dear Mr. President:

I watched your address to the UN yesterday. It was brilliant, powerful and full of Truth. I am not sure about how such missives get created, but the energy which it carried came from you and  through your equipment.

It was real. It dealt with causes, the energies behind the events which are generating the chaos on the dense physical plane. Just as good can come only from good, malice and violence can come only from malice and violence is a message that needs frequent repeating.

You were teaching in that talk. You were making some very complex things clear. The simplicity and power of the simple relationships you made between the effects of hysteria and hate and the recognition of our general humanity, inclusive understanding and negotiation cut through the layers of sophistry being woven by the generators of chaos.

I found myself wishing that you could deliver this kind of message to the nation. I think it would do vastly more for getting yourself and others of like mind and heart elected than many of the "ads" being used. Surly it would be worth money to do a few of these kinds of things on general television. As you pointed out, Good can come only from Good.

I am not sure everyone will be able to make the intellectual connection between free speech and all of our comings and goings: the way we dress, how we identify ourselves, our spiritual preferences, in what we support and believe. We are what we do and what we do is speak with many tongues. But the message works on levels of comprehension that are not related that much to the intellect. The Heart will hear that message, and the heart will vote.

I was wondering if you had ever encountered the following:

 As Kingfishers Catch Fire

As king fishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves -- goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is --
Christ. For Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Dear Mr. President

I have been troubled by the note of fear that I have encountered in most of the appeals for donations that I receive, and I receive two or three a day. I have informed you of this in the past. Because I expect this discouraging frequency, I often just delete the messages without opening them.  However, I opened the note which I received from the First Lady this morning because in my experience the frequency of everything that I have seen/heard her do carries the energy which reaches hearts.

Needless to say, I responded to her appeal.

Most of the messages seeking donations that are coming from your campaign lack this energy of appreciation and inclusive encouragement. I have a feeling that most of those messages are being generated by men. With a little consciousness raising, men are quite capable of using this energy. Perhaps it would be good to have a training session around the nurturing power of the kind of message that the First Lady generates and the effect that fear generates.

One other thing. I greatly appreciate and admire the courage and love which You model for us all. However, you should know that I, and many, many others, realize that in supporting you, we are really supporting us, the people, and not just of this nation, but of the one humanity.

In that light, I am counseling that we forget about the phrase, "if we win".

This thought does not direct energy toward the goal. It opens the door for the dark whisperer of doubt.

We will win because we must win. Even when we have lost a battle we have won because we have never been defeated. The Good cannot be defeated.

As a an ancient general of the Good once observed, "At the point of loss do I pour in the new possibilities. On the line of retreat I build strongholds. In the eyes of the enemy I wave the banner. I call the day of fatigue a day of repose. I recognize a manifestation of non-understanding as rubbish on the threshold. I can conceal the sacred in the folds of a working garment. A miracle means for Me only the mark of a horseshoe. Courage means for Me only the arrow in the quiver. Resoluteness for Me is only the daily bread....From the beginning, they struggled. From the beginning we conquered."

Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President.

Re your note of August 26.

I have no doubt that we must reach the "undecided" with clear information. I am, however, equally concerned about the non-voters. Every day, I talk with young folks about their intentions. Most of the individuals I speak to are not members of the middle class, many of them are living with their parents because they do not have work. Because of the budget cuts in the educational arena they can't even find classes to go to at their local Junior or four year colleges. Most are discouraged with politics; they do not see any reason for voting. I think that this constituency far out numbers the "undecided". 

I know that we will be out spent. That was a given going in. I have counseled on this issue in earlier letters. I am counseling now, that the money we do have be better spent.

I have heard you speak about the Principles upon which our Nation is founded. I know from much experience that when you speak from the heart on these matters, you open minds and hearts. The details of budgets and what you plan are not that interesting to most people who are not already decided. It's just so much talk. Your sincerity is evident; (Just as Mr. Romney's hollowness is evident.)  However, I think we are wasting valuable time and resources beating that drum.

Consider this: a once a week 15 minute address to the nation on major networks focusing on the Principles of our heritage: on what freedom means, on what "united" means, on what the Common Good means, on what the General Welfare means.... you get the drift.

It is my sense that such an address would find its way on Utube and hundreds of millions of computers and iphones. You are, no doubt aware of "One More Term". How many individuals do you think have seen and heard and will see and hear that? I sent it to about a thousand of my contacts. It cost nothing!

You can do this better than anyone since FDR,  J. and R. Kennedy, and Doctor King.

Do it. It only makes sense.
