JANU: We are focusing this evening on the hate that has prevailed so long in human civilization, individuals and groups. The KKK is an example, existing in the southern U.S. as an organization, but elsewhere in the background of society. The role of this for individuals with fear and disgust in the darker side of human nature is to externalize it in the darker races. It is created by greed and base human emotion. In some ways, it acted like—and acts like—a safety valve, outpicturing what lives within without responsibility for mastering it. Individuals seem locked in these cycles of hate based upon fear of what lives within them. When held so deeply for generations, it becomes a way of life, finding no model for the alternative, within. Joining with others for supporting the conviction. “Strength in numbers,” they would say. But what kind of strength is this? It is self-destructive, our brother, destroying the lives of others in the process.

Many humans still struggle with this division within themselves, finding little beauty in life that isn’t tainted by this battle within. Difficult to change. All of the energies and patterns are so strong. Society is changing and will continue to. So the strength in numbers diminishes and more and more of those consumed with this find themselves without support and alone. The only model they have for alternative is the society that is changing. As a result, the oppressed and brutalized are finding their place in life and demonstrating growing success and, to some degree, forgiveness in anticipation of their hatred for those who have abused. Both sides still struggle with many generations of families and culture blackened, if you will, in this way.

So we say to those who understand the difference: Shine your light in life and build strength in numbers through your own conviction and the clarity of understanding. Continue the progress. The rewards yet to come are freedoms in so many ways. Find peace in the change and the hope for the future. Be strong and forgiving, for “they know not what they do.” But they will in time. Namaste.

JANU: We are surveying at this time the reminiscences of humanity before America. The initial goals of the Founding Fathers were mirrored in other countries around the world, to a small degree, but hampered, crippled by the dominant governments of the time. These goals lived in the hearts of the people, not those owned by bureaucracy, politics, and power. So America was a grand experiment to express these with a government that cherished these goals, constrained by them yet open to expand them. Such it is today, for individuals, families, and small groups to re-express and re-affirm those goals that live within their being, unrestricted by politics and a government that seems to have forgotten many of them.

There has been talk by presidential candidates of making America great again. But they think in terms of power, and influence, and control. The refugees of the world think differently. Their quest is for freedoms and liberty or a path to living in dignity and freedom, visions of a better future allowed by better conditions at the present, having little to do with politics and power and control over others, military and crime, police states.

The dreams of America in the beginning still live in the hearts of the people. The genius of America still lives in the hearts of the people. The government of today is a shadow of this. Their reminder is in the dealing with other nations. Not so inspired. The presidential candidates struggle to see viability for themselves in the nation’s government as it is. The politicians in Congress do not inspire this.

You ask, “How can a government, become so large in power and politics, remain viable in the world yet true to core values individually and collectively?” This takes leadership and one individual so gifted can begin a movement of change. But the wisdom must be there, that talks to the hearts and minds of the people and resonates. Look for that in your leaders. Their rhetoric must have that depth of layered wisdom.

A pivotal time, our brother. The economic and political structures of the time are so fractured it is more difficult to hold them together. It is up to the people to demand excellence and own their future and their dreams and their lives. Namaste.
