i’m with you Marianne, this whole thing is nooooooot over. We are just getting started and we do have truth on our side and integrity and humanity - those are heavy hitters and hard to deny. I was just writing about Courage - lets keep our eyes out for courage because it is all around us and it will inspire us and keep us strong.

Eve, the fact that it is "all around us," strengthens us. We can FEEL the force field, know it's strength,and let that power carry us.

Thanks so much for the discussion about the distinction between the majority and critical mass, as well as rational and experiential working together to allow understanding greater than the sum of its parts.

WISE words, inspiring me and my wife to pray immediately to God, and to the Archangels. I feel there's an unexpected hero (heroes) in government, who, you might say, miraculously, suddenly find their better angels in the midst of this chaos, that can contribute to the rebirth of our nation like the butterfly.

I love rhe fact you write about being baptized at 43. It is appropriate for a Sunstack called, " A life worth waiting for,".

Ha! Apparently, Rebecca, you know of my Substack titled, "A Life Worth Waiting For!" That is actually the title of one of my early books, that predates my familiarity with religion, baptism, and subsequent ordination. I still, many years later, traipse through many fields of spirituality. Basically, I consider myself a seeker after all that presents itself as worthy of being sought.

Many people I know will say “I watch the news” … but then say … “I try not to think about it” … That’s how we got where we are! … There are lots of things we CAN do like calling our Congressman … or Senator … or other elected officials … You can donate to Democratic candidates running for office in Red States … and as Marianne says … you can sit quietly … meditate … and … pray … and see what new ideas appear !!!

Breakdowns are the access ot the future. We are in a breakdown. The greatest failure in a breakdown is a failure to act. And Marianne, you are that powerful call to act. For me, that is the highest form of leadership. Thank you.

We do have help. The Masters of Wisdom and their head, Maitreya, the World's Teacher, are returning to the everyday world to help inspire us and give us the strength to lift the burden of our nation's karmic debts.

Maitreya alerts us how "The so-called 'peace' that politicians are talking about is nothing but fear. They have translated 'fear' into 'peace'."

And from such infectious fears those who oppose justice breed violence, hatred and war. Don't be fooled! Be alert. (Maitreya states that there will no peace without justice, and no justice without sharing.)

Maitreya identifies Americans' chief sin to have been our complacency. Now, due to our past inaction, selfishness and heedlessness, we are having our democracy threatened (as we have undermined democratic governments' abroad for 130 years).

We Americans have had a history of ruthlessly disregarding the sanctity of life of those we do not know or fail to understand (e.g., those from weaker nations, as well as those of diverse species). But the wonderful thing is we can change; we can be creative and become more involved. And by being accountable, we evolve.

For we will be forced to take responsibility, so let us ask ourselves, "Shall it be now or later? Why not now?"

Lauren Hersh, National Director of World Without Exploitation, reminds us, "Courage is contagious."

Moved to tears hearing your conviction! My wife and I have seen you speak multiple times and thankful you're continuing to raise your voice of radical change, waking up and taking on the fight against authoritarianism!

Please join the future councils of brave and courageous women leading America forward!

Marianne, when I first started watching your livestreams from NYC and Los Angeles years ago, I felt transported to a sacred place, a place different from my day to day life.

Now, I feel like it is that place that gives us the strength, the guidance, the wisdom and conviction to do what we need to do now.

For those of us who know and live from that spiritual place, let us know it, honor it, and let it lead us as we move forward.

Be thusly blessed everyone.
