Dear Hillary

I know from watching you for all these years that you have a big heart. I saw you perform as a group presence, which is how the heart always presents itself, in many, many ways besides the efforts you and you husband made to gain the human right of medical care for all people. It Takes A Village, was another heart expression. Because of the fact that it was about children, those who do not see form a heart focus missed that it was a deeply wise observation about raising a Democracy or any other growing thing. (These deeper implications of your thesis, however, did and continue to excite the ire, cynicism,  and criticism of the heartless blind.)

In fact it is because you and the President were so heart motivated that you received such vicious and relentless attention for those eight years. My point: The heart focus attracts the attention of the retrogressive forces. Every heart centered person will travel over such a path. Regardless of one’s place or role in life, the would be heart focused will be “tested”. As it was noted, “Blessed are the obstacles by them we grow.” Perhaps you are familiar with Marianne Moore’s “In Distrust Of  Merits” I have appended it to this note, just in case.

I watched over the years as the heart in you got gradually pushed aside and all but buried in the unending onslaught of the heartless retrogressors that masquerade in the midst of the Republican party. When you faced President Obama in the 2008 primaries, it was all but gone. President Obama was a heart force in those confrontations. And in virtually every day of his presidency he has been moving through that fire about which you know so much.

Today, I see flashes of your heart whenever you address a women's group or speak to woman's issues, and it showed up a few times in the your recent New Hampshire talk. When talking to our Sisters, you have every ounce of your considerable experience  and intellectual strength, and you also reveal the fearless power of the heart. When you speak about Women's issues there is a kind of energy and light that flows through the heart into your speech and mannerisms that touches hearts and then minds with real power.

Noticeably missing in such presentations is even the slightest hint or question of comprise on any of the issues. Nor should there be. The heart does not compromise. That is why so many of our Hearts have been murdered over the eons. For you, for the heart, these are not things that would be nice to have; they are inalienable rights, and we will have them.

Usually, however, when you are discussing other issues of equal importance to Human Rights you present this “reasonable” side, this “pragmatic” side that “knows” from intellect and  “experience”. When you say that you work for what will work, you have already compromised. The retrogressors, who insist that it does not in fact take a village but a few self appointed, strong, invariably “males”, to make things work, already have achieved over half of their objective.

Equal pay for equal work is a Human  Right, that all women should be able to vote is a Human right. These things are not negotiable. There is no compromise here. Since we cannot get equal pay for equal work for women we will settle for 70%, is not acceptable. If  all people should have opportunity to earn a living wage is a Human Right, then agreeing to a less than living wage is no more right than having only married women or blue eyed women vote.

Compromise is always the coward’s half hearted, halfway measure. The heart does not deal in halfwayness, not on women’s issues or on anything that violates the basic Laws of Humanity. These are not things that would be nice to have in a perfect world, but too hard to get here. They are the things that make life on this world work. Without them we are heading toward a very sad ending. 

You have this kind of drive in you, I hope that you will embrace it. Humanity needs another President that is willing to give everything.

lots of love

In Distrust Of  Merits

Strengthened to live, strengthened to die for
medals and positioned victories?
They’re fighting, fighting the blind
man who thinks he sees,—
who cannot see that the enslaver is
enslaved; the hater, harmed. O shining O
firm star, O tumultuous
ocean lashed till small things go
as they will, the mountainous
wave makes us who look, know

depth. Lost at sea before they fought! O
star of David, star of Bethlehem,
O black imperial lion
of the Lord-emblem
of a risen world—be joined at last, be
joined. There is hate’s crown beneath which all is
death; there’s love’s without which none
is king; the blessed deeds bless
the halo. As contagion
of sickness makes sickness,

contagion of trust can make trust. They’re
fighting in deserts and caves, one by
one, in battalions and squadrons;
they’re fighting that I
may yet recover from the disease, My
Self; some have it lightly; some will die. ‘Man’s
wolf to man’ and we devour
ourselves. The enemy could not
have made a greater breach in our
defenses. One pilot-

ing a blind man can escape him, but
Job disenheartened by false comfort knew
that nothing can be so defeating
as a blind man who
can see. O alive who are dead, who are
proud not to see, O small dust of the earth
that walks so arrogantly,
trust begets power and faith is
an affectionate thing. We
vow, we make this promise

to the fighting—it’s a promise—’We’ll
never hate black, white, red, yellow, Jew,
Gentile, Untouchable.’ We are
not competent to
make our vows. With set jaw they are fighting,
fighting, fighting,—some we love whom we know,
some we love but know not—that
hearts may feel and not be numb.
It cures me; or I am what
I can’t believe in? Some
in snow, some on crags, some in quicksands,
little by little, much by much, they
are fighting fighting that where
there was death there may
be life. ‘When a man is prey to anger,
he is moved by outside things; when he holds
his ground in patience patience
patience, that is action or
beauty,’ the soldier’s defense
and hardest armor for

the fight. The world’s an orphans’ home. Shall
we never have peace without sorrow?
without pleas of the dying for
help that won’t come? O
quiet form upon the dust, I cannot
look and yet I must. If these great patient
dyings-all these agonies
and wound bearings and bloodshed—
can teach us how to live, these
dyings were not wasted.

Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron
iron is iron till it is rust.
There never was a war that was
not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.
I inwardly did nothing.
O Iscariot-like crime!
Beauty is everlasting
and dust is for a time.

Marianne Moore

Dear Mr. President,

Thank you, sir, for the forthright, intelligent, constructive, common sense, to say nothing of heartfelt courageous action regarding the Syrian Refugees in the U.S.

As you are probably very much aware this struggle in which we have been locked for centuries between the heart and chaos. It does not take a great mind to look at the results of the intermixing of the races and cultures that have occurred over the years, especially in these United States to see that this is the way to realization of the fact of the One Humanity.

With the usual exceptions for the ignorant and selfish--which It t seems are ever with us and rather a much bigger problem than the poor who would not be among us if it were not for the greed and power driven group of the Ignorant--we have created a United and beautiful Nation. We  have lots of clean up to do, and we are, even when it is hard for the form focused to see, proceeding very well.

This singular action of yours is a mighty blow to the forces of retrogression. Know that you have the power of, well of evolution behind you. That’s a pretty big deal.

Lots of love

Dear Hilleary:

Watching you last night in your conversation with Rachel was to say the least refreshing. As I have said, I think that you would make a great president and that you could be elected. After your presence last night I am fairly sure that  you will be the next President. Your commentary on the death penalty was a big step forward on the Path toward clarity on this issue. I feel that you will proceed in that direction.

I wanted to let you know that I will be voting for you in the California Primary.

During the period leading up to the Convention I think that it is very important that the discussions and addresses from you and the other two persons strive to be focused on the ideas and paths that underlie our Democracy and the attacks and destruction upon them that has been unleashed by retrogressive forces and power over the past 35 years.

I think it is very important that we recognize that each of you is a very valuable part of the healing that we are bringing to the Nation. We need all of the hearts we have, and I am sure that both Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley would be very valuable partners as we break out of the cages in which the retrogressive forces of exclusivity and privilege have had  us imprisoned.

As it was pointed out long, long ago, “From the beginning they struggled. From the beginning we triumphed.”

Lots of love

Dear Hillary

Dear Hilary:

I can’t imagine  that  you are not aware of the overwhelming evidence that the death penalty is not in any way a deterrent to murder or any other crime. Your being in favor of the death penalty puts you out of sync with 61% or more of your fellow citizens, (a majority of that 61% is more than likely women) who would choose a punishment other than the death penalty for murder. 2010 poll by Lake Research Partners

However, my concern here is not with the data concerning the death penalty. It is about the feminine principle, the heart, compassion, and love. I do not want to belabor the obvious ancient, (eye for an eye) barbaric cruelty of the death penalty, but surely you can see that a State Execution is simply the  murder of a helpless individual. Such executions are more a matter of revenge, of “payback” than anything that approaches Justice.  Execution or calling it what it is, murder, is certainly not choice the heart would make, or a practice that the Feminine Principle would consider.

This position highlights your major problem with a very large sector of the voting population, including me. You consistently prove to us that you are a match for any man. As I pointed out earlier, we do not need a strong male president. We need a woman with a heart.

Your deep connections with the traditional male engendered and dominate power structures of the nation which utterly lack any kind of heart energy or understanding of the feminine Principle are truly a problem for you. This is clear to anyone who is thinking with the heart, and more and more of the people are doing so.

I think you can win a national election. And you do possess all of the skills the nation needs to navigate our way through the present maelstrom of retrogression. It will be sad indeed if those skills are not directed by an open heart.

I must say that I will not be voting for you in the California primary unless I see a demonstration of such a heart, and  you can begin by being in favor of Life rather than murder.

Lots of love and hope

Dear Hillary,

Last evening, I was very encouraged by the presence and adult discussion of the Democratic candidates for President. Your presence and cool poise, and that pragmatic commonsense streak which is your default position was very much in evidence.  I was, however, particularly interested in your reaction to Bernie’s heart generated comments regarding your “damn emails.”

Your reaction was a spontaneous heart driven response. That’s how the heart functions. It knows. It knows without any data or intellectual inputs.

You actually revealed your heart. It has been rather hidden. I suspect that that was a price you had to pay to operate in the kinds of environments where Tough, Hardnosed and what were frequently mistaken for “pragmatic decisions” dominated and where the heart, if it dared to show itself,  was seen in the archaic male generated dogma that was used eons ago to get Woman out of the way as weak and soft and not able to make tough decisions. Your heart did not choose to vote for the war.

If, as you claim, you really want to do a service for Woman, bring your heart on-line. It was Bernie’s heart driven reaction to injustice, bullying, and yes abuse of a woman (Can you imagine these ignoramuses, going after a man’s emails like that?) that spoke for you in those moments.

Well Hillary, as you know from much, much experience, the heart understands things on levels that the mind cannot even imagine. The skills that you have gained from your training will only reach their real potential when you bring your heart back on-line because the heart can see the path which lies between.

Men also beat the heart in men into some kind of quiescence. We, many of us, have experienced ignoring our natural heart understandings of situations and listened to our minds only to see the our hardnosed pragmatic” decisions disintegrate and lead to the same problems, sometimes in the very same forms.

 I suspect that you will win the nomination and election Hillary, but the Nation, the Planet needs a new Way. Cool poise, and sharp intellects, cannot really see the pragmatic way. These skills are invariably effected by personal agendas on various levels, and pragmatic means what will work for this or that most powerful special interest.

For the heart, pragmatic means what will best serve the Common Good and the General Welfare. It takes a kind of feminine sensitivity to not only understand this but to have the courage to put it into action. You can do this.

Lots of love

Dear Hillary,

Everyone gets that you're as strong as any man.

However, a strong man type is not what we need and/or want. We need and want a Woman who is as strong as any woman which means a woman who is able to register, contain and implement the Feminine Principle. The Feminine Principle is the energy that drives evolutionary creation.

Just as the Feminine Principle has been totally misconstrued, maligned and hidden by those ignoramuses who do not get that we live in a harmonious multidimensional Cosmos, so has the Masculine Principle been misconstrued, maligned, and hidden.  These two always and only co-exist. One is useless without the other or, even worse, destructively ignorant.

Just as the everywhere and always occurring Principle we call Feminine has nothing to do with one's sex, the everywhere and always present energy we call masculine has nothing to do with sex. Any balanced human being can vision, initiate and creatively implement an Idea.

The problems arise when a self-centered individual, man or woman, bent on creating for his or her separate or personal desires, acts. The actions of a balanced individual, regardless of the physical sex, generally serve the Common Good because the balanced person sees situations whole and not just from a single perspective. All of those great persons of human history who moved Humanity forward, that is toward the goal of the "Self Evident Truths", balanced the feminine and masculine Principles.

The energy which actuated those heroes and enables a human being to balance these two energies is Love. And love moves through the heart, not the mind.  Love is the carrier wave for Good Intentions, and Good Intentions pave the road, not toward hell as the ignoramuses would have you believe, but toward the Self Evident Truths.

We need "a radical feminist agenda" to put the power of evolution behind our efforts to remember our dismembered world. President Lincoln pointed out that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." We are One, and the only way forward for us is to bring this fact into the common mind. We need "a radical feminist agenda" which flows from the heart, not for women but for humanity.

I do think that if you will embrace the heart you can lead all of us but especially our women of whom there are still millions who are unenfranchised, not because they are not permitted to vote, but because they are lost or held in bondage by the misconstrued, maligned myths of "women's" place. I think also that if you reach out with the power of the heart to women specifically, you will as well ignite that smoldering flame that lies in the core of the heart of most men because it is the flame of the Feminine Principle.

lots of love

THE DONALD

The Donald

I have tried, but I just could not, not  say something about The Donald.

He is, after all, ICONIC.

When have we had such an upfront, honest,  and in language anyone could understand, statement of the heartless agenda (I would say soulless too, but every human has a soul buried somewhere) of the group of imposters who think they are qualified to run the world.

Please note. I did not say, “govern”. If one is governing, then one is  working cooperatively with an instrument created by, and for the welfare of the Common Good.

The group of whom Donald is Iconic, do not govern. In fact, they abhor Government as a waste of time and a maker of stupid non-profitable programs. Governments do not know how to rule, or run a business. The Donald’s of the world excel in this. And in their view by Right, they should be in charge.

The Donald, of course,  epitomizes all of the qualities of a Ruler. He is so certain that he is wonderful that he is fearless. His skills have been honed on thousands of “deals” wherein he has successfully made a killing, or to use the gentile term, a profit. That means  that  he has successfully conned others of the Ruling group who were desperately trying to con him. Thus,  The Donald is battle hardened and deeply experienced. Two crucial qualities for Rulership.

The Donald’s vision for Humanity, other than it includes him at the top, is vague. This is  perfect for Ruling class policy because then no one knows what’s going on. And this is fine because The Donald knows what is good for everyone, and too many “advisors”, or other sycophants,  just make simple things complex, sort of like government.

He has numerous castles, or what  passes for castles these days, and has already amassed tons of money, so additional tons will not attract that much attention except from the non-iconic others who will just be jealous.

So, forget government. The Donalds do not get elected. They either inherit their Right to Rule as of old, or in the new paradigm of Business,  they “manage” their way to the top and amass wealth. They do whatever it takes, lie, steal, cheat, manipulate, con, and truth be told, make deals with certain nefarious beings who carry their souls around in little purses. This pretty much describes the current charades called Campaigns being run by us on an hourly basis.

Well,  we need to  find a mountain somewhere, probably in one of the Carolinas, or Mississippi would be good, but I don't think that they have mountains. Anyway we need a mountain on which to carve a likeness of The Donald.

BTW,  what makes those guys on Mount Rushmore  so special? All they did was Govern the United States of America. The Donald will Sell Us. We will make a profit!
