This is a spiritual awakening to those that wish to awaken. It's bringing up all that we have pushed aside for another day. That day has arrived individually and collectively. We are far more powerful than the powerless (politicians) has led us to believe. Do not believe them. We are the power!

Marianne's post powerfully resonated for me as I live in a 1785 house built by a revolutionary family. You, Marianne are our Tom Paine the voice of the revolution, for "these are the times that try men's [everyone's] souls. "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" So said another great American.

These are revolutionary times and the American people are rising to the moment. Thank you Marianne for continuing to lift our collective spirit above the battlefield.

Standing together for the ideals of our constitution is more than noble, it is the calling of this age, as it is every age. Building it to fit our times. Having just finished “The Rise to Rebellion” and “The Glorious Cause” by Jeff Shaara (upon your recommendation) the spirit and determination to do and be the right thing is a wondrous calling to us all. To stand up for this mighty republic of heart we represent to the world.

Thank you for being the patron saint of us all.

Marianne, your words and leadership bring HOPE to people all over the world. Thank you for the example of courage and virtue that you are! I also see this as a time where we ALL need to be that inner adult and say "enough of this insanity". Not on my watch!

Remember, "Be the change?" But what can we do individually?

Well, we can think about and imagine scenarios and outcomes we desire for ourselves, society, and humanity. We can make an effort to take command of our thought and the energy we put behind it.

Then do what we can to behave from that place, as much as we can.

Look for people doing that same, like here... and who knows what these steps could lead to.

Doing this can help us to not get deterred about the shift that IS occurring, as we see and connect with more people flowing with it.

Yes, there are those who resist, fearful of change and letting go with what is familiar... but know, they are actually a small force, a blip in the shift that IS occurring.

We can see many already starting to question the 'wagon' they hitched to.

Sometimes you don’t know what you’re made of until half out of circumstances, and half out of terror, you find yourself in a place you’ve never been before - The circumstances that God sends our way are designed to expand and grow our being and lead us to a place we otherwise never would have gone - Thank God for the opportunity!

Humans seem to not appreciate what we have until we lose it - and it seems democracy is no exception. Luckily, these two clowns are reminding us just what a gift we do have and we are waking up and saying, "we will NOT go back in history because we are proud of where we have come - to be the people our country tells the world we are".

Today's days and times are giving me an itch to reread some of George Orwell's books like "Animal Farm" and "1984" or Lederer and Burdick's "The Ugly American" and "A Nation of Sheep". Verdick's "The Roots of the Nazi Mind" is striking pretty close to home in this day and age.

Dear Marianne

You nailed it again! Adults maturing as we speak♥️ and the spirit of Paul Revere shines a light that ignites our hearts to courage. Emotional maturation is lifelong and generation to generation as we encounter similar challenges in new presentations.

Be careful of rejecting Maha when you protest against Maga. I believe in Maha with aloha. We don’t have to do to the Democrats what they try to do to the Republicans. Now love your enemies and Presto. They’re no longer enemies.

Trump has already publicly warned him to stay away from that topic

Yes. Trump said that and I believe he will support Bobby ferociously and may even support Bobby to run in four years. Remember a miracle is a shift in perception. Even Trump is capable of that!

"Any energy put in the direction of truth is a bullet in the heart of a lie." - Love this line, especially the "any" part. When love shows up, lovelessness doesn't stand a chance. But love has to show up. Let's go!
