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.
loving us

The Law Of The Spiral

Dear Friends:
We know, as does Urusvati, “that the law of the spiral is the basis of Cosmos. This is confirmed not only by physics, but also by evolution....People usually are amazed that human consciousness appears to experience again and again the same achievements and the same failures” Supermundane II, 332

I think that we have all experienced an unexplainable sense of  perhaps sadness or loss which had come on us suddenly at a certain time of a year and which, upon reflection would surface, for example,  the memory of some one’s passing. Such experiences are part of the turning of the Great Wheel. We, who are actually congeries of consciousness on the Great Wheel, move through spaces on the emotional and mental planes that are still vibrating to those old events only we are a tiny bit above them or out of them now, so that the frequencies of the old event are not so powerful as they were once were.

This is a personal example of experiencing the small spiral within the Great Spiral. To appreciate this bit of Wisdom  from M.M. on a broader scale of, say the One Humanity, we simply need to have look at a much larger slice of the spiral of evolution.

A few months ago I was in Costco to gets some groceries. I happened to walk past a 60 inch television screen, upon which there was a huge talking head kind of smirking or so it seemed. I stopped to listen, and I was suddenly shocked, disturbed, deeply frightened, emotionally and mentally when I heard this talking head, a person of great wealth and power whom I recognized, proclaim that he and his class were the JOB PROVIDERS!

I am a usually a calm and laid back kind of guy, and I could not understand this sudden fear and then the revulsion and anger that came from the very depths of my being.  Later, when I unpacked this energy signature, I encountered some old frequencies and images from an earlier turning of the Great Wheel.

I recalled from history and in some of my least gratifying dreams, something called serfdom. This, you may recall, was a kind of  two tier system of control. On the one tier we had feudal Lords: the  kings, dukes, barons, in a word, the Owners or the 1%. On the other we had the “subjects” or more accurately the serfs. The serfs were the 99%. These folks were branded, sometime literally, or labeled, or considered to be the low hereditary class, slavishly attached to a piece of property, land or farms or pastures, castles, manor houses and so forth owned by one of the feudal lords and were required to perform labor. These were “not slaves” in that if they did not want to work they could leave and try to be “not slaves” somewhere else or perhaps become the 15th century version of the homeless or vagabonds in which case they starved or died of some disease a bit more rapidly than did the “not slave” serfs.

Many things have changed since serfdom. Many people are truly self actualized, are actually not slaves and are perfectly capable of providing for themselves in a society where the Common Good and the General Welfare are the national priorities. Yet there is this huge disconnect. Apparently the “owners” or the notion of ownership has not evolved with the Wheel.

I cannot for the life of me see the difference between the then “owners”, by heredity or divine right, of the common wealth and the now million and billionaire “owners” of the commonwealth. Then as now they are claiming some kind of special or exclusive status as human beings. To consider themselves to be somehow superior to any non-million or billionaire and to assume that they are by the fact of their possession of Billions above the Common Wealth and exist outside of and independent of the Common Good and are therefore somehow divinely draped with the mantle of PROVIDER for the rest of us is simply absurd.

Surely, friends, we do not have to go around on that spiral again. It is time for us to start to dismantle, not Social Security, but this whole non-sense about the “ownership of property.” It’s a simple question. I can understand how we are responsible for stuff, but how can some transient form “own”  pieces the planet, or any other material thing for that matter? What does ownership actually mean?
Lots of love

“Let us not be shortsighted when speaking about the destruction of the world. It is true that Armageddon is raging and incredible crimes have been committed, but it is also true that against the background of these terrors a speedy evolution rushes onward. Is it possible that people do not see how much of the new is entering life? We should not permit the doubting worldlings to proclaim that the dark forces are victorious. That which belongs to Infinity cannot be conquered. (Or, I might add, cannot be owned.)

The Thinker wisely encouraged His disciples, and prophesied the victory of the Forces of Light.” 
Supermundane II, 259

Dear Friends:
This post is a letter that was sent to the President by an old friend and fellow warrior who was inspired to VOTE, as it were. Your letters to him may not ever reach "him" but if you are aware of the fact that energy follows thought you can see the power of filling space, in this case the mental plane, with powerful and loving thoughts... thoughts are things, and every word is a thunder bearing arrow when losed by the heart.

Subject: RE: This will be blunt: ME TOO

Dear Campaign Managers,

I have donated what I can at this point, and may yet donate more.



What I would really like to see in the face of this disgusting election model of raising millions and billions of dollars in the face of the abject poverty, and paucity of effective education and healthcare we have in this country (& don’t even get me started on our fear of the NRA!),… what I would really like to see is a Democratic Party message  with which the American people can resonate – one that promises models for improvement in ‘how we do “business”!”



I am not interested in putting out money to fight the war against the Koch Brothers, or any mega-corporation which wishes to have an open road to their pathetic self-serving.  I am also not interested in solving every little problem we have with recalcitrant countries by “bombing the hell out of them”!

My major donations go to organizations which are seriously setting models for attaining peaceful and collaborative solutions for human problems.  As the American and Planetary consciousness becomes more awakened to our inherent Oneness, we will be making decisions in the  Light of This Fact.



I voted for Barack Obama, was thrilled to do so!  I will do so again!  I see where he has made strides, and I see just as well how our Congress is failing to support the citizens of this country.  Our kindergartners are made to behave better in their playgrounds than are our “leaders”.



I am a 74-year-old woman, married for 50 years to a (now retired) Marine Officer, up from the ranks.  You think generally military families are going to vote Republican because they are afraid that the Democrats are going to let them wither on the vine.  I, if I would admit to any fear, am troubled that the knee-jerk reaction to problems is to go to war.  I say again, I don’t want to pay for that, not with money, not with the blood of our young people, nor with the endless line of PTSD-ers and brain-damaged military persons.  I am grateful for the work that Michelle and Jill have done on behalf of our military.  If we can reasonably reduce our military might and equipment in any way, without endangering our safety as a nation, and use that money to really take care of the military persons we have maimed, then I’m for that!



Well, I could go on…. And on…. And on…. But they say usually one should make their point in one page, what with attention spans being what they are these days…

And I’d love to hear from you, whoever you are.  Smiles!



Love & Blessings!

Dear Mr. President:
I received the following from your V.P., Joe Biden.:
“This will be blunt:
Tom
This isn't hyperbole or exaggeration:

If we don't win this election, it will be because we didn't close the spending gap when we could.”

This note to you  is also blunt. WE Will Win the election regardless of any "spending gap"!

The only gap that could possibly cause the election to be even close are messages such as this one which carry a frequency of fear and terror. Such messages, which your no doubt highly paid, expert campaign managers do not seem to realize, carry a deadly, negative virus. This virus has a frequency of discouragement, hopelessness and despair which infects the vast majority of the people whom we are trying to encourage.

Faced as we are with obligations for our family that have been generated by the years long, horrible employment situation, my wife and I have regularly contributed all that we can to your campaign. We do not contribute because of the non-stop, fear laced notes and letters we receive from all quarters of your campaign.

We contribute because we understand the stakes of the election, and we see that democracy itself is in grave danger from the forces of greed and retrogression. We actually marvel at what you and your administration have been able to accomplish in the past four years. Our personal opinions regarding the  role and function of Government for this nation and the Planet are actually dimensions more liberal or progressive than the issues about which the vocal “progressives” wail and bemoan. These are well meaning individuals who do not understand what you meant when you promised a new kind of government. They do not understand or realize the power that is opposed to the agenda which you espoused.

Common sense indicates to any observer of the common good that valuable resources and time are not only being wasted by your campaign but are actually generating a negative subjective impact. Large numbers of people are simply tapped out. After feeding housing and clothing their families, even if they happen to be among the fortunately employed, they have no “spendable” income left over to donate, not even 3$.

However, what they do have is the vote. What we need— far more than enough money to match the money of the Retrogressors, a goal that any reasonably informed individual with common sense knows is not possible to achieve anyway— is their vote. These messages are so discouraging that many of these people will not bother to vote because we have informed them that we cannot win.       

Your campaign managers need to get this. Stop wasting energy on these kinds of messages and begin to proactively work to engage the Hearts of our brothers and sisters.

Think! People follow their hearts. The heart does not traffic in fear. We give to what we love, not what we fear. And we give whatever we have to give which in the huge majority of the cases, as you well know, is not money.

My counsel is to forget about hustling people for money like a bunch of bill collectors. Those who can support the effort with money will. I think you can count on that. Their number  however is pitifully smaller than those who have only their love and vote to give. Those are the ones we need to talk to, and not about donations, but about the beauty and power and wonder of government of the people for the people and by the people.

Remember Saint Crispin’s Day. Remember the long bow.

Loving us

Dear Mr. President.
Your commentary regarding the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado carried the frequency of the heart. When you speak in this manner about the things that matter in our lives, you touch the hundreds of millions of hearts which make up the heart of our Nation.
There are a great many of our brothers and sisters who have been disenfranchised, not just from the vote, but from actually participating in the things which matter, those things you indicated in your address. This condition is nothing new. On the one hand, it is the result of centuries of furiously generated and propagated desire to identify life values, that is the things that matter, with material consumption and personal place in the hierarchy of wealth and power.  On the other, it is the result of a kind of creeping hopelessness, a disease which envelopes those who fall into what is now called the 99% and is a necessary product of such a warped hierarchy.
I think of these folks, both the “winners and the losers”, as being asleep, not conscious of life or living. As you  know, the constant stream of lying propaganda which flows from the Consumers of Life and Liberty, those who cultivate and feed on this system, is just about all that can be heard. It reinforces, minute by minute, this illusory system of transient value and keeps these brothers and sisters asleep in their prisons.
All of these brothers and sisters, without exception, have heart. Most of them are just sleeping. They are not heartless. You carry the heart of this Nation. I have heard and watched you model it on numerous occasion over the past 7 years.
My counsel is that you simply start talking on a regular basis to the people about the things that matter, the things you outlined in your Colorado address, the struggle of our ancestors to create a nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. I know that you know what the real value of this Nation is to Humanity and the world. Giving heart and voice to these principles will reach those sleepers, those dwellers in the canyons of comfort who have hearts.
When you speak of these things there is a frequency of love and truth that is unmistakable to the heart. When the same words are mouthed by the opposition, there is an unmistakable frequency of sophistry. They simply do not “ring true.” The heart can hear this.
So,  one,  two to three minute spot that speaks to principle and carries the frequency of love will awaken more voters than an hour of intellectual stuff about economics or foreign policy. I also think, by the way,  that those matters can be approached from a heart perspective as aspects of the Principles upon which this Nation stands.
Loving us

Dear  Mr. President:

Regarding the message received today from your Deputy Campaign Manager, Ms. Smoot:

We will be out raised. We will be out spent. We will be out monied.

There is nothing new in that. We usually have been. We have seldom been more powerful than the forces of greed and retrogression in any respect other than our will to good and love of the people, of humanity.  Most often in this area we have been both more powerful and victorious. This is true throughout history, most notably in the American Revolution, the Civil War and WWI and II.

It is this power that will win this battle, not how much money we have. And we must make no mistake, although being waged mainly on the emotional and mental planes, this battle is a battle of even greater magnitude than those sited.

We use the money we have to make messages that carry the truth, the light and will of the people to be free. One minute of one such message will obliterate many thousands of the lies that are pouring from the orifices of retrogression. 

Trying to raise money through the ingestion of fear,which the message from your Deputy Campaign Manager does,  is using the methodology of the Retrogressors and heartless. By disheartening and discouraging the people we are actually doing more harm than good in using this approach.

I suggest that we use our money and time in a more positive,  proactive and powerful way. Remember, David did in Goliath with a sling and a stone. It is seldom noted, but the stone was a stone of Light and Truth.  

For us losing is not an option.

lots of love

Dear Mr. President:

Your staff  continues to put out self defeating messages. I quote, We could lose if this continues!”

If this election is to be decided by who has the most money, we were beat at the beginning. As long as you are framing the election around who can raise or who has the most money, we will not be reaching the heart of the population, the vast majority of whom do not have $35 to send in to have a cup of coffee with Joe or to ride on the bus with you.

The messages that your staff are sending are disheartening. They are engaging in a competition which is ridiculous and actually fuels the power of the opponents. When you focus the people’s attention on the news that they did not raise enough money, and rattle the snake of defeat you are discouraging us.

This is not a football game. We cannot be encouraged to go to the poles and “win one for the Gipper”!

This messaging, BTW, also focuses the opponents attention on the news that they are Winning. It says to them that to win all they have to do is out-spend us. This will only encourage the billionaires to  bury us in a mountain of money, which for them is a mole hill of chump change.

This line of approach is playing the opponents game. Focusing the election on money   rather than values and principles, is a sure way to not be reelected.

People want to vote for the individual with the most heart, not the most money.  Making the campaign focus on heart qualities is a sure winner, mainly because the opposition is basically heartless. America is about freedom and liberty for ALL. It’s about the right of All to Life liberty and happiness. It is the Common Good and the General Welfare that matter, not the size of one’s yacht or the number of one’s personal planes or houses.

These are the things that your staff needs to focus on. We have lots of rather the grim realities to illustrate the lie and failure of the oppositions message: The spreading poverty, the sad state of our schools, the 12 to 15 million unemployed mothers and fathers and the 30 or 40 millions of their hugely disadvantage children, the obesity of our people, the pollution of our environments, the wasting of human life in stupid wars, the corruption of the Banksters and their minions just to name a few.

Strongly suggest that you consider this approach. The heart is the path to “change the matters.”

Lots of love
