As often occurs, some of my best insights get sparked by a comment or post on Twitter or a discussion thread on Facebook or blogs I follow. I found this cartoon on Twitter and re-posted it FB, where my intended quick comment expanded into a deeper reflection. ~PB
Liberty and Justice for All. What a concept!
by Phoenix Boulay 25-Sept-2017
Take a knee. Odd phrase. Strange action, I used to think. Today I have come to realize a lot of things because of this controversy. It's not about disrespecting the flag or the Military. Most protesters expressed that they have the utmost respect for those who serve, and either served themselves, or had family or friends who served. They love this country. They insist, this is the greatest country of all. We have the freedom here to protest that people in other countries don't have. This is about protesting the fact that there is NOT "Liberty and Justice for All". It is not supposed to be just for some of the people.
We have a POTUS who does not understand at least half the people in this country, nor do they feel at least respected by him. Many people are not only afraid of what he might do next, they are afraid to walk or drive down the street in their hometown, for fear of being stopped, misunderstood, accused of something and/or shot.
As a white woman who is not afraid to go anywhere, any neighborhood, I find it appalling that some of my friends and neighbors have to watch their back when they leave their own house. Have to pray they make it safely through their activities of daily living. Have to be extra careful not to do a moving violation or have a broken taillight, so that they don't potentially end up dead. Imagine that!
We do not need a POTUS in a Bully Pulpit judging and condemning people he never met or talked to. We need lines of communication to open up. We need mutual respect. We need less rhetoric and threats and more asking questions of the other, more trying to clarify what is not understood, more DE-ESCALATION, and less John Wayne bravado. We need a mindset of conflict resolution, cooperation and an agenda to create peace. This can only come through communication and understanding, acceptance and tolerance.
Some of you may not believe it, but we are close to joining Galactic Civilization. We are close to Disclosure, and learning about the Secret space Program. If you wonder where all the money goes or why we don't have decent affordable healthcare in this country, look no further than the black ops programs run with your tax dollars. Not to mention the TRILLIONS that have gone missing since 9/11. Too bad our education system is not so great... people are not taught to think critically, not taught to keep an open mind and consider that anything might be possible. Not taught to look deeper at an issue, not taught to consider the viewpoint of the other, and learn from it. Not taught to think for themselves or to Question Authority.
I urge you all (myself included) to awaken and take stock of what matters to you. Do not accept somebody else's version of "What Happened" just because you like them. Use your gut instincts and look deeper at ALL the players involved, seen and behind the scenes, not just the usual suspects. More than anything, understand that we are evolving, our DNA is upgrading as it responds to electromagnetic light pulses from our Sun. The Sun itself is changing from a yellow star to a white star, which should be obvious, because the quality of light has changed in recent years. If you are observant, you will have already noticed. We are moving from a mind-centered consciousness to a heart-centered consciousness. This is important, as it will open us up to create potential solutions and connection.
If we don't strive to wake up, there will be more disasters and trauma to shake us out of complacency. Yet even the weather can respond to our thoughts and intentions, because we are Co-Creators in this world. We are collectively shifting from 3D to 5D, and our thoughts tend to manifest more quickly than they used to. So it is very important to keep the faith, elevate your thoughts, keep your vibration high with clean eating, pure water (we are 98% water!), movement, large doses of nature to decompress, introspection, meditation, and positive interaction with others. We are all in this together. We are taught to believe in limitation. But That's Illusion. We are far more capable of creating solutions to long-standing problems than we realized. So let's persevere and go all in!

This will be my first syndication editorial cartoon, but I thought I'd release it now.
