Great post! I can attest to the power of daily meditation to strengthen one’s mental ability to withstand the chaos that this current presidential admins throws @ Americans (& the world) almost hourly. Now, instead of recoiling when feeling psychologically (if not physically) assaulted, I focus inward, find the shared light of strength within, then lean directly into that person or situation without feeling freaked out. And for sure, it’s because of strengthening through daily meditation, I have this tool which feels like a super power.
With my having you pegged as the voice of America’s soul, appreciating every new call you make to us, where if you just keep talking I can see that sequence where first they laugh at you and end up listening to you, as things are getting so insane that every day is a threat to the continuation of civilization as we know it, I still hope you’ll do something more radical to collect us. Like make the Beloved Community real, so that decent humanity becomes a force! We good folks are too polite, hamstringing ourselves following rules when the other side doesn’t.
I highly encourage any one who has the opportunity to register to be a poll worker. First, they need the help. Secondly, you will see for yourself just how mamy safe guards are in place to secure votes and you will be qualified to challenge those who claim the voting system is rigged. Thirdly, you'll meet wonderful people and you won't know, for the most part, which party if any party the represent. And, you'll get paid. Not much. But something that you can then donate to the candidate of your choice.

This is the part people still don’t want to fully metabolize:
America is not merely being mismanaged.
It is being monetized in real time.
War is no longer treated as a tragic failure of diplomacy. It is treated as an asset class. Democracy is not being protected by the machine; democracy is being harvested by it.
And when the state itself begins taking equity stakes in the industries that profit from war, we are no longer looking at “policy.” We are looking at the fusion of government, violence, capital, and private enrichment into one monstrous organism.
That is not governance.
That is capture.
The old language almost feels too small now: corruption, fraud, profiteering, conflict of interest. These words describe pieces of the beast, but not the beast itself.
What we are watching is the spiritual bankruptcy of a country that forgot government is supposed to be a sacred trust, not a business opportunity.
A nation should not be run like a business.
A nation should be tended like a living body.
A family.
A garden.
A covenant between generations.
And right now, the body politic is inflamed. The immune system is waking up. Millions of people are moving from confusion to grief, from grief to rage, and from rage into that strange, clean place where the soul finally says:
Enough.
Now we act.
That’s the real assignment now: not panic, not numbness, not performative outrage — but disciplined moral clarity.
Register. Vote. Organize. Pray. Study. Strengthen your nervous system. Tell the truth. Refuse the con. Refuse the spell. Refuse to become so exhausted by the ugliness that you abandon your part in the healing.
The profiteers are building machinery.
We have to build conscience.
The shadow government has money, weapons, and leverage.
We have memory, numbers, truth, and the small still voice within.
Electronic voting machine fraud has been known since a long time. I don't understand why it is still being used and legal. It should be banned. It should be only Paper ballot hand counted.

This is excellent and so many points that hit me over the head! The American citizens were told that the new admin would tighten the budget and save money! This is so appalling and a slap in the face of us who are supposed to have the government be the representatives FOR the people. I’m so done with this admin and honestly our American government!! They seem to govern their own pockets!!😡
I honestly wish I could believe that building inner resilience, community organising, peaceful protesting, playing fair and voting would ultimately remove this regime from power, but I can’t. These monsters need to be removed forcibly by foul means if necessary. The longer they retain power the stronger their position will be. Voting means nothing to them and they will never go willingly. November seems very very far away right this minute.
Yes. I’m in inner training for what comes next
Love it - a teach-in with Marianne on how to take our souls back and rebuild a democracy with heart!

That’s a wonderful idea
