Do you really hold Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senator Hillary Clinton, and President-elect Obama responsible for the mistakes that we, as a party, have made? Do you really hold Senator John McCain responsible for what we ourselves don't choose to do? We need a party that will choose to keep the Republic. We don't need to blame anyone, we just need to do it. We can't expect the Democrats to know how to do it, but we can expect ourselves, who do educate ourselves in how to keep the universal principles of the representative Republic strong and vibrant.
Enough blaming and picking fights that no one can ever win, opinion against opinion. What ever happened to the art of debate? What ever happened to a rational, practical debate on the issues that we face today? Whatever happened to debate based upon the rock-solid principles of our representative Republic? Isn't it about time we got over blaming each other and, together, arrive at logical, workable solutions that work for all time? Principled solutions that don't contradict the sound principles upon which this Republic was founded?
Are we going to cower in fear every time someone attacks our stand for God in government? I didn't say religion; I said God, and there's a world of difference between the two. Our founders never repudiated the idea and concept of God participating in our government. In fact, they invited God into the government in many speeches and writings. However, they did repudiate the idea that religion should be an influence in our government. And there is much written to show their stands for each of these concepts. Our government isn't to be godless; it's supposed to be godly. No religion is to dictate the laws of government though, and this is the problem. Since God is an all-inclusive God, why do we have to tell people that what our opinion of God is everybody's should be.
Let's get over it! FLASH: "....all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness...." This is absolute, undiluted Truth from the ascended masters, but to accept it, we must let go of our religious convictions that there is only one true religion. There is only one way to worship God, I agree, and that is in spirit and in truth. And I have seen Christians, Hebrews, Moslems, Buddhists, Hindus, Confusians, the followers of the Tao, and Zoroastrians who are every bit as close to God and serving him, one another, and all of mankind faithfully. "By their fruits you shall know them" is the fiat to overcoming this type of judgment.
This is, I know, a huge stopping point against energizing a united effort to live our national motto: "In God we trust." But, if we really trust God, then we had better agree with all of the word he speaks to us and not just pick and choose the parts we like and throw away the rest. Don't look at the flesh. Why do we want to do that. The flesh always falls short, so get over it. Let's begin to look at a man's heart before we judge him righteous or unrighteous. And when you look at his heart, you should see a Christed one, not a sinner. Look to his Holy Christ Self as Jesus teaches, not at the flesh. Listen to his I AM Presence, as Jesus teaches, not at his flesh.
The ascended master Jesus, the Christ, teaches much about his I AM Presence, and since he was a Christed one before his ministry in Galilee, Samaria, and Judah, having balanced 99% of his karma, he rightly called himself the Christ. But he learned this from someone somewhere. He learned much from his mother, but he didn't learn everything about his Higher Self until he journeyed to the areas of Tibet, Northern India, and Western India. Here, in the years between his twelfth and twenty-ninth birthdays, he learned how to allow his Christed Self to win his entire being, and how to allow his I AM Presence to speak and act through him. This is where he learned to do miracles, signs, and wonders that would later be a fulfillment of the prophecies spoken in Israel and Judah. Then he teaches us to do the same. When he speaks the wonderful words "I AM the way, the truth, and the life....", was he bragging? No! No! No! A thousand times , No! This was his I AM Presence speaking within him. And he teaches us to practice the same.
Don't hide behind a title, and think that's all there is to it. Don't set Jesus on a pedistal so high that we can't follow him. Jesus never did, nor did any other of the ascended masters, of whom there are many from all areas of the world, as well as from all races of mankind on the face of the earth. And why shouldn't there be, seeing that God is no respecter of personalities, and that he has made of one flesh all mankind. Learn this lesson, and we will never need to fight another war, as our enemy, our adversary, would like us to do. For it is he, and he alone who comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of the children of light who live upon the face of the earth.
Hence, after all of this, we understand a little of the FIRST principle on which our Republic was founded, and the FIRST principle that allows us to maintain it. God bless you! And so it is! David H. Coffey
