Love this Marianne. And may I say I love you! You do such a gifted job blending the political situation with the underlying spiritual reality. This paragraph is the bomb! --

"Only angels can slay dragons. Angels are the thoughts of God, and demons are the thoughts of man when his heart turns cold. In an age of demons, summoning angels means nothing short of returning to our right minds. Stripping our politics, our economics, our very society of fundamental allegiance to the principles on which we purport to stand, the United States spiraled into moral darkness. Everything starts with consciousness, and only a consciousness of love - of justice, of doing right by people - is the compass that keeps us pointing towards America’s North Star." I am working on a piece about how one of the bright spots right now that I've been noticing the past month or so is that more mainstream media are having conversations about and even beginning to question our current version of capitalism.

Thank you, Cylvia. I agree with you. There are stars appearing in the darkened sky. You’re one of them, by the way.

I agree completely. But I’m afraid that you’re “preaching to the choir” - I hope there are enough people to bring love to consciousness to make a difference and make it fast enough. I would vote for you in any election. Thank you 🙏❤️

How to get a world that is so entwined with the wrong idea, where money counts more than love? The result we want is easy to name, as you have done so especially eloquently here. This is no casual matter, where we can wait for the evolution that bends to justice, and my advocacy is for getting everyone to be aware that it’s life or death situation. Given that nature is bearing down on us, our best chance to even have a future is to turn to each other to cooperate in a return to love.

Thank you Marianne for your radical truth telling. At a moment when “The United States is spiraling into darkness “ you shine a path forward that guides us towards the light.

I SO appreciate how completely you articulate the current pickle we are in, Marianne!!! What I would like to add is that I'm watching/listening closely to Zohran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of NYC. He seems to embody and embrace the truths you speak of and IS presenting a plan for people-centered leadership in the political arena. He is putting the LOVE vibration into action. He loves that city and listens to the citizens' worries and fears. May he win and open the doorway for more leadership with heart across our dear country.

He needs our protection and support since the present power/money structure opposes him--they don't share his values of human decency.

It’s a great time for a hidden scripture to emerge. A great time for the truth of Beauty to step out of the pages of the book of John. DaVinci, Crivelli, Ghirlandaio, Castagno and a host of other Renaissance masters preserved the truth. John the Baptist is no Wild Man of the Wilderness. Rather he is a She. And she is Beauty at the center of The Tree of Life. Once upon a time in Mesopotamia spiritual life was based on the Sacred Tree. This Tree of Life is also a Tree of Knowledge. And this Tree is a She. As it says in Proverbs 3:18 “She is a tree of life…. In the ancient world She made kings. He must be a Priest King who tends to the Tree and to the people as a good shepherd. He must travel the paths of the Tree along the path of Strength with God to a discipline that puts him onto the path of Justice. This is the only path to the Garden of love at the center of the Tree.. where the Prince joins Beauty. And from whence they rise together to meet Father El at the top of the Tree… where he is baptized in the living water of the divine realm. Here they remember the ‘most high’ ElYon where the two become one spirit with two heads. And each head of the one spirit is crowned by Heavenly Father. This part of the Tree is called The Crown. Again, when we restore the Tree of Life we acquire a scriptural cypher to help us read through centuries of redactions.. to the truth of the Book of John. Every word given to Jesus in red ink was taken from her mouth. Did she not teach Jesus and pen the scripture that bears her name? Though she was disguised as a man Renaissance art preserves the truth. I’ve been collecting their innumerable works for decades. My point in blurting out so much here in response to your message is to say that a profound angel of truth and love is being resurrected from a field of lies and redactions.

“I and my father are one.”John 10:30

“I have said ye are gods John 10:34… referring to Psalm 82:6 and children of the most high.”

With the Tree of Life as cypher The Book of John comes to life.

And we need the truth of life where darkness and death take advantage of lies.

Thank you Marianne for your courage and for your hard work. Thank you for all you do for love. ❤️

Perfectly clear, based on reality but said with love and hope. There's still time and it's up to us to keep ourselves calm, balanced and remember our oneness with each other. Thank you.

The unease we fill is like a hunger and the only thing that can satisfy the hunger is love.

Yes, angels do slay dragons. That's why we're all still here, dear warrior of light.

Both the DNC and GOP have failed us—but We, the People can use the Democratic Party to hold this administration accountable and prevent further governmental atrocities IF we cast aside the nonsense and UNIFY.

WE THE PEOPLE UNITED IS THEIR GREATEST FEAR.

As you said: "Atonement, prayer, forgiveness, love. With those things—with enough people truly understanding them and practicing their power—we will experience a miraculous new beginning."

Time for Angels to kick mo-fn dragon ass!

And I do have a plan.

FORGIVE. UNITE. LIVE. AMERICA

🙏

Beautiful piece, Marianne❤️…and I 100% agree that it’s time for all of us to do some serious shadow work!

“No one should be surprised by his obsession with gold and gilt. […] He is our own shadow reflected on the screen of our lives…”

I read this piece by Jung a couple years ago, and wow did he call it:

“The Postwar Psychic Problems of the Germans” (1945):

"No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans, the demons will seek a new victim. And that won’t be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey….

“We should not forget that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers."

~Carl Jung

I started using an IFS app for my own personal shadow work…and I’ve also noticed certain communities are slowly starting to face the collective shadows dogging them (the Rogansphere is reeling quite a bit since Marc Maron’s special & the Elephant Graveyard YT video, which goes into the unhealed trauma driving the manosphere comedians who helped DJT get reelected—highly recommend.)

It’s starting to happen—people are becoming less accommodating to guile.

As you so elegantly stated on the campaign trail:

“We became a generation that was easy to play.”
