Happy Birthday America

Every time I try to think of our country’s 200th birthday, I draw a blank. Yet, I am known for my memory. I don’t know why the event doesn't come to the surface, other than I wasn't paying attention, and being young, I was foolish. Like so many things, I took it for granted.  I’ve spent the last two weeks thinking about its 250th birthday since I won't be here when the country turns 300. This may sound cynical, but I don’t think it will survive to reach that milestone. 


With civil rights dismantled, such as birthright citizenship, executive power testing the powers of Presidential immunity and Congress, and due process invoking the Aliens Enemies Act of 1798 and all that fighting over who won the election and elections in general and how many terms can be served, I can't help but think we have regressed. I can’t watch the news; it’s toxic, and I’m done with politicians hashing out laws they want to change to serve their best interests or that fuel their inherent racism. Meanwhile, the country doesn’t run efficiently.   It’s become a far cry from what the Founding Fathers originally aimed for.


These are just a few of my thoughts on what matters most.


Money. We need an economic reset and upheaval. There’s an accelerated transition toward digital currencies and decentralized economic systems that will challenge the US dollar’s global reserves. We need to combat the rising wave of digital identity theft and data breaches, both of which could trigger a systematic crash.  


Hatred. The Polarity Shift; too many people have gotten sucked into the vacuum of one-upmanship. Case in point, the other night I watched a film on Prime, The Long Walk Home, made in 1995 starring Sissy Spacek and Whoopi Goldberg. It was hard to watch at the end; there was so much hatred. The story is set during the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama. One white woman defies her community by giving her black maid a ride home. Soon, she starts carting her maid’s friends so they can get to work. This act of humanity forges such animosity that you feel any minute a lynching will take place. I watched, despite my heart racing, and asked myself, 'How much has changed since then?' This points to a separation between 3D and 5D consciousness or unenlightened versus enlightened states of being. I don’t mean this to be snobby; it’s the only sense I can make of it.  Perhaps you have your own interpretations.


Climate.  Earth changes and Natural Disasters. The seismic shift is something all nations have to be aware of. Last weekend Los Angeles was 73 degrees while the East Coast and Europe saw triple digits.  Not only has the world undergone major water events but this indicates the larger environmental transformations that we can no longer avoid.


Respect for Life.  There’s genocide. This is what’s fueling the never ending fight between Israel and Palestine, Russia and Ukraine. Beyond the devastating loss of life, its aim is to erase the identity, culture, existence of a population leaving behind scars. This is where international law is key, and we need to apply pressure for negotiations and peacekeeping.


Celestial. The Pluto Uranus return. Astrologers view the 250-year milestone as intensely volatile, noting that the country is continuing to process its rare first Pluto return and entering its third Uranus return. In psychic astrology, this represents the death of outdated power structures, systemic purges, and a period of intense rebellion where innovation and societal breakthroughs are being forced to the surface. The last time this occurred was during the French Revolution. While we can’t send the powers that be to the guillotine, I think there’s a high probability for ruin, either through another or by the Universal law of cause and effect.

I think the time for being unaware or asleep (as I was for the 1976 bi-centennial) is over. We have a moral and civic responsibility to fight against injustice and to do our part, we choose to be. Personally, I do not think "complaining" about the government or listening to news non-stop is productive, in fact as I see it, it's a waste of time. So much more can be done through actions. And in the material world, it's actions that generate movement and shape civilizations. Thanks for giving your opinion.

I cannot tell you how well written your thoughts are on the topics of money, hatred, climate, and astrological signs of impending difficulty with changes that need to be made before it is too late. Your serious thoughts about the dire situation world citizens are facing at this time in history is an honest evaluation of the haphazard messes we've gotten ourselves into that looks quite bleak. Thank you Linda for putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to remind each and every one of us that we can, and must, up our level of consciousness to bring about beneficial change.
