Last night I found the most amazing quote from George Washington's Farewell Address in 1796..."And of fatal tendency...to put, in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; - often a small but artful and enterprising minority...they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent energies, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reighns of government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion..."
Who knew, the father of our country was also capable of profound prophesy...?

Nationally and globally, we can refuse to take action, and resist the very action that can make a difference. We cannot alleviate anything by talking about it, without really acting upon our words orally spoken. We can begin by gradually holding ourselves accountable for our choices OR continue hysterically falling into their hold and thrall, our ‘leaders’ have created. Historically, it has never worked, to follow a tyrannically motivated system. We have allowed an alliteration of trust and naivete’, interpersonally with our government and institutions, who allege an allied understanding of our goals vocally, while they literally stall or distract us visually, via the media.
Individually, we could connect to supportive groups socially; connect to the world we live in and with spiritually; and, create mutually beneficial partnerships and ethically-based coalitions towards our goals in affecting reality morally, in a consistent and substantial way. Neutrally, we’ll continue realizing our irresponsibility immorally with allegiance to staying disconnected to it all, emotionally and mentally.
We should critically decide how to create CHANGE, fundamentally making things better and universally making it more peaceful. Eventually, we shall condition ourselves magically to the beauty within ourselves, so we more genially notice the beauty around us, physically and ethereally. Upon seeking a falling star, acknowledge that place in your mind, that rationally affective choice maker – your transcendentally governed side. Metaphysically perceiving a chuckwalla, a race, a religion, a culture, a continent, and other human beings, reflecting intellectually into the mirror of your memory, virtually defining whether it was your experience or anothers’ – finally looking at it differently. Mechanically or electronically, our brains do not know the difference between what we have visually seen or audibly heard, in our memory. The enthralling and endless possibilities of our collective imaginations for a perpetually brighter future, does NOT depend on the psychologically, socially or genetically programmed ideas, totally dominating our current global consciousness. The overall focus on making hallmark changes and saving lives, equally, should viscerally override the irrationally motivated pursuit to making more financially and materially.
It is now the time to call all our allies vocally, to formally and signally announce allegations, ethically and criminally, towards the fallacious, phallocentric ‘powers that be’, living off the tallow that we humans keep swallowing, while their wallets tally to bulging each Wall Street closing day. No special ballots, town hall meetings or callous, judicially off-the-wall consequences, but the mystically profound “KARMA”, as their sentence in accountability. We shall overcome capitally, as they wallow WITHOUT any power – our windfall, taking it back from them! WE, the people monumentally have the power to cureall with our voices, collectively…as a continental ALLIANCE!
