Peace and Goodwill Message of 2021 to Presidents Biden and Putin and to Americans and Russians

 

Peace and Goodwill Message of 2021

During this Christmas season let us open our hearts to bring in peace and goodwill between the great nations of the United States and Russia. I call on President Biden and President Putin to cease and desist all military moves that could lead our countries to war in the Ukraine.

During this pandemic, with the Omicron variant spreading like wildfire and over 800,000 deaths from Covid in the U.S., the urgent need to come together and cooperate with each other is greater than ever. The last thing Americans or Russians, or anyone in the world, needs is to worry about the threat of war. In fact, if humanity is to survive and thrive, the time is now to end military conflict as a way to resolve conflicts.

We must evolve if we are to survive as a race. We have far more in common than our differences. If we can shift to cooperating, sharing and caring more for each other, we have a chance, despite the all-encompassing threat of climate change. We can work together to ameliorate the worst impacts it will bring, and we need to focus on making the changes that will ensure that everyone possible survives.

I call for an end to all economic sanctions against Russia by the United States, which is a form of warfare that has impoverished Russians. I call on both presidents to do their best to improve the lives of their people.

War does nothing but destroy and kill. It does not improve the lives of the people. I call on both countries to cut the military budget in half -- use the money instead to make life better for the majority of people. It’s the wealthy who get richer and richer on wars, profiting on the blood of the people lost in fighting.

Use the military not to kill, but to help people through hard times, in places hit hard by severe weather, such as we have seen in Kentucky with tornadoes recently. Use the military in joint exercises that make sure everyone has food and shelter in the world, as well as caring for the environment.

We are undergoing the greatest shift in the minds and hearts of people that the world has ever seen. Let’s take this to the top and reorder our priorities as nations. Professional diplomats are not enough to see us through this shift safely.

I call on President Putin and President Biden to consult with the wise women of the International Council of Thirteen Grandmothers to strategize what needs to be done, and where we should go from here to be in right relation with each other and all life on this planet.

Послание мира и доброй воли 2021 года

В течение этого рождественского сезона давайте откроем наши сердца, чтобы принести мир и добрую волю между великими народами Соединенных Штатов и России. Я призываю президента Байдена и президента Путина прекратить и воздерживаться от всех военных шагов, которые могут привести наши страны к войне на Украине.

Во время этой пандемии, когда вариант Omicron распространяется как лесной пожар и более 800 000 смертей от Covid в США, острая необходимость объединиться и сотрудничать друг с другом больше, чем когда-либо. Последнее, что нужно американцам, русским или кому-либо в мире, это беспокоиться об угрозе войны. На самом деле, если человечество хочет выжить и процветать, настало время положить конец военным конфликтам как способу разрешения конфликтов.

Мы должны развиваться, если хотим выжить как раса. У нас гораздо больше общего, чем наших различий. Если мы сможем перейти к сотрудничеству, обмену и заботе друг о друге, у нас есть шанс, несмотря на всеобъемлющую угрозу изменения климата. Мы можем работать вместе, чтобы смягчить наихудшие последствия, которые это принесет, и нам нужно сосредоточиться на внесении изменений, которые обеспечат выживание всех возможных.

Я призываю к прекращению всех экономических санкций против России со стороны Соединенных Штатов, которые являются формой войны, которая привела к обнищанию россиян. Я призываю обоих президентов сделать все возможное для улучшения жизни своего народа.

Война не делает ничего, кроме разрушения и убийства. Это не улучшает жизнь людей. Я призываю обе страны сократить военный бюджет вдвое - использовать деньги вместо этого, чтобы сделать жизнь лучше для большинства людей. Именно богатые становятся все богаче и богаче на войнах, наживаясь на крови людей, погибших в боях.

Используйте военных не для того, чтобы убивать, а чтобы помочь людям пережить трудные времена, в местах, сильно пострадавших от суровой погоды, таких как мы видели в Кентукки с торнадо в последнее время. Используйте военных в совместных учениях, которые гарантируют, что у каждого есть еда и кров в мире, а также забота об окружающей среде.

Мы переживаем величайший сдвиг в умах и сердцах людей, который когда-либо видел мир. Давайте поднимем это на вершину и перестроим наши приоритеты как наций. Профессиональных дипломатов недостаточно, чтобы безопасно провести нас через этот сдвиг.

Я призываю Президента Путина и Президента Байдена проконсультироваться с мудрыми женщинами Международного совета тринадцати бабушек, чтобы выработать стратегию того, что необходимо сделать, и куда мы должны двигаться дальше, чтобы быть в правильных отношениях друг с другом и со всей жизнью на этой планете.

What is the Difference Between the Soul and Spirit?

I'm in a Facebook group of many diverse people, the Arcturians. Today I saw that someone had posed the question, "What is the difference between the soul and spirit? Here is my response.

 I have thought about this, too, and the way I see it both words mean basically the same thing. Soul seems like an older word that mostly Christians use. Spirit seems more inclusive somehow, kind of an expansion of what people meant when they used to say soul. I use both words. 

Basically it's the part of us that you can't see. It's not the physical body; it's the spark of life that imbues it. And the spirit or the soul carries both our past lifetime memories and is also part of the greater soul of collective humanity. How that all works out is part of the greater mystery, the beguiling unknown that those of us on a spiritual path continually explore.

Biden's Great Appointment of Transgender Rachel Levine as Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services

 

Fantastic! As a visionary, I reached the understanding this past year that transgender people and those who are "gender nonconforming", are important wayshowers in the evolution of humanity at this time. For one, Americans have become such a nation of conformists, sheeple if you may, that anyone who doesn't conform in any way is one courageous singular person. Conformity is a corporate value, and it works against self-expression, which is the core of freedom.

 

The paradigm shift that we are experiencing right now is taking us into a greater consciousness, a deeper level of understanding, if you're able to follow me on this. We are starting to remember all of who we are and have been, and continue to be. As we start to wend our way through the multiverses and alternate realities of higher levels of consciousness, awakening to the full extent of all of who we are, that means we begin to get in touch with past lives, often lived as the opposite gender.

 

The truth is that we are all an amalgam of all the lives that we've led, sometimes as a woman, sometimes as a man, and as our memory returns with a greater awareness of the fluid nature of time and space, we will become more aware of all of these different aspects of who we are.

 

I realize that I probably lost almost of all of you in sharing these insights. And I could be wrong. Actually I want to write a story with a transgender hero/heroine, that will help people begin to explore all of this. It's one of my goals for this year.

I just know that this news makes me rejoice.

 

Congratulations Rachel Levine! I am sure you will do an outstanding job for all of us in this position as Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services. Our country needs someone with your level of experience and knowledge to help lead in protecting the health and safety of Americans during this pandemic. May the Senate confirm your appointment.

See New York Times article, January 19, 2021, "Biden’s pick for Health and Human Services role would be first transgender federal official confirmed by the Senate," by Eileen Sullivan.

Let's Make Life Better for People in the United States

 Brainstorming ideas this morning for making life better for people in the United States.

FEED AMERICA -- cooking classes for healthy eating, community gardens, planting fruit and nut trees in school yards, sharing resources more so everyone has enough healthy food

GET FIT AMERICA -- Creating ways for people to get more exercise, walking more, working physically, and holding mass healing events

RISE AMERICA -- intergenerational programs to lift people's spirits, engage in community forums and political activity, get people singing together, making public art, holding community dances, battles of the bands, tree planting projects, building community centers as a civic project.

BUILD AMERICA -- Building cultural ties with other countries, creating new ways to engage in international trade, building small communities.

HEAL AMERICA -- Form wise women councils to lead a process of truth and reconciliation circles, to launch a massive movement to heal our divisions, especially racial ones and with indigeneous peoples, but also for women to be heard about how oppressive our patriarchal systems have been for them.

DREAM AMERICA -- Sharing our dreams, visions, hopes and wishes for the country we want to create going forward.

WORK AMERICA -- Developing work programs that provide training in new skills and that create better communities, promote creative projects, and provide care for everyone that needs it.

CARE AMERICA -- Assess the needs of people in our neighborhoods and communities, and develop programs that meet those needs in new and creative ways.

SHARE AMERICA -- Start sharing programs at home and abroad that gives anyone who wants the opportunity to give public service and share resources. Building internships into all of our educational programs. Seniors mentoring teenagers and children in mutually beneficial ways. Sharing ideas on ways to make our society more inclusive, more caring and more supportive of everyone through sharing.

CELEBRATE AMERICA -- Both online and on the ground festivals and concerts (as the coronavirus pandemic subsides), new kinds of celebrations that are free and family friendly. Music, dance,, art, performance. Make entertainment accessible to everyone to enjoy and participate in.

ACTIVATE AMERICA -- Get everyone going, working on creative projects, engaging in work that pays well and meets real needs of people, building communities and ways to live in harmony with nature. Engage people in creating better lives and taking responsibility for themselves and their communities.

Politics is the Realm of the Possible: Engage

 I want Americans to develop a backbone, to fight for themselves. Are you voting for the first time or the first time in years? Well let me tell you it doesn't stop at the voting booth. You need to be an informed voter. Follow the issues, know your candidates for every office you cast a vote for.

Engage in democracy, this great gift from our forebears and activists who have expanded the franchise to women and blacks.

Attend city council meetings and meetings of the Board of Supervisors for your county. At least 2-3X a year to stay informed and get to know their character, but especially when they are deciding on issues that you care about.

Find out their hidden agendas and who their corporate backers are. Call them out on conflicts of interest. Fight for open meetings, and make it known when decisions are being made in secret.

Strategize to block developers when their plans go against the public interests. Fight for common space, better wages and working conditions, equality for everyone, and a strong social net for those who get sick or need more help than they are getting.

Above all, ask good questions.

Write letters to the editor for your local newspaper. And if you're not sure about what's happening, raise questions, pointed questions. At least voice your views on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and any social media you are active in.

Demand the truth, and when you are blessed enough to read it, support those journalists like Julian Assange who put themselves on the line to tell it. Understand that there is disinformation spread about everyone who stands up to the powerful.

Become a warrior for freedom, and support a free press (not the corporate media who manipulate what you think). Think for yourself. Most of us have access to the Internet, even if we go to the library or an Internet cafe. Speak out. Speak up.

Your voice matters. You are important. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise, that your vote doesn't count, that your opinion doesn't matter, that nobody wants to hear what you have to say.

Use your good mind and free will. If you've become lazy about all this or indifferent, it doesn't matter. You have been disenfranchised. You have become a pawn if you just go along to get along. Just get started and build some muscles. It's like going to the gym.

We need fit and healthy citizens, people who put everything they've got into making this work, heart, body, mind and soul. Put yourself on the line. Make a difference.

Take care of yourself and your family because politics is the realm of the possible. If you take yourself out of that realm, then you may have to live with what may seem like increasingly impossible circumstances.

Law of Eleven and the Supreme Court of the United States

I am putting on my crystal visionary hat, of empathic and shamanic wisdom, to convey The Law of Eleven. The Law of Eleven would elevate the Supreme Court of the United States to the next level of evolution.

There should be eleven judges on the Supreme Court, not nine, if we heed the Law of Eleven.

11 judges would be devout supporters of humanity. Their collective vision would be crystal clear, with a breadth of ability to see and discern truth and justice that others cannot. Eleven judges would bring a creative and magnetic energy that serves as a beacon of wisdom and hope for others to follow.

Following the Law of 11, the Supreme Court will be a channel for truth and answers that inspire us to the greater justice inherent in cosmic spiritual truths.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Left Big Shoes to Fill: How Will Amy Coney Barrett Fare?

 Amy Coney Barrett may have won the partisan vote today to be appointed Supreme Court Justice to replace RBG, but she will always be in the shadow of RBG. Although they have some things in common, there is no way that Amy Coney Barrett is in the same league as RBG, who was a major pioneer in the legal field of gender discrimination. 

 Important or not, the facts are that RBG went to law school at Harvard. Amy Coney Barrett went to Notre Dame's law school. Harvard is ranked #2 among law schools; Notre Dame is #24. https://www.velocitylsat.com/resources/top-law-schools They both graduated at the top of their class. 

Both women were law professors, RBG at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School (ranked #4 in top law schools) teaching civil procedure. Barrett taught at her alma mater, Notre Dame Law School. Like RBG, she also taught civil procedure. In addition, Barrett taught constitutional law and statutory interpretation. 

Both women served as circuit court judges, RBG for 13 years on the DC Circuit Appeals Court from 1980-1993; Amy Coney Barrett for three years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, since 2017. 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg argued and won six cases before the U.S. Supreme Court on gender discrimination from 1973 to 1976, making strategic gains for women's rights. I don't believe that Amy Coney Barrett has ever personally argued a case before the Supreme Court, although much is made of her working as a law clerk for Antonin Scalia when he represented George W. Bush, Jr. in the Supreme Court decision that made him president. For those of us who think that the Supreme Court had no business deciding who was our president, that is not a point in her favor. 

Although it's true that Amy Coney Barrett is the first woman to serve on the Seventh Circuit from Indiana, that seems to be the only mark of distinction. Compare this to the career achievements of RBG before her appointment to become a Supreme Court Judge.: 

1. Ruth Bader Ginsburg volunteered as an attorney at the ACLU, and then served as general counsel and as a director on their Board of Directors. 

2. RBG co-founded the Women's Rights Law Reporter, the first law journal in the U.S. to focus exclusively on women's rights. 

3. She became the first tenured female professor at Columbia Law School. 

4. Ginsburg co-authored the first law school casebook on sex discrimination. 

5. Ruth Bader Ginsburg co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU in 1972. She attained a reputation as a skilled oral advocate, and her work led directly to the end of gender discrimination in many areas of the law. 

Amy Coney Barrett, so far in her career, comparing it to the early career of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has not been exactly a trailblazer for human rights. She is known for being dogmatic and conservative, and usually favors big business over workers.

Amy Coney Barrett has a brilliant legal mind, which I readily admit after having read an academic paper she wrote. However, I don't anticipate that she will do anything so remarkable as RBG did that earned her the moniker, the Notorious RBG. 

I don't foresee that Amy Coney Barrett will make any contribution to the advancement of our society in particular. She may eventually move more to the center with all the pressures that will come to bear on her as a Supreme Court Judge, and she may even make some sound decisions. However, it is my opinion that she will forever be cast in the shadow of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I most certainly would like to be wrong about this, and hope that she will indeed distinguish herself.
