Does it not seem that there are strange machinations going on in government,
religion and society all over the world?
Distressing situations exist in small or large ways, every where we look.
In the United States of America perhaps the' strangest'
is the shift within the U. S. Court System
away from a long held and practiced Constitutional basis for decisions on Spiritual matters....
to a liberal, atheistic bias that appears to be working very hard
to denigrate the simple, but strong Spiritual base of the Constitution
wherein, beginning with the Founders, Americans give recognition
and thanks to a Supreme Being....the 'Creator of all that is' for Freedom...
for Guidance.....for Protection.
What I call 'legal atheism' has, momentarily, gotten a strangle hold on the the Federal Court System
and is encroaching upon the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
Liberal atheism would seem to be deeply embedded in the legal professions.
And sadly, it has a confusing effect upon other individuals who then foolishly or perhaps deliberately,
misinterpret the U.S. Constitution regarding the 'separation of Church and State'.
One wonders about the agenda, of those elected to or appointed to legal and political
governing positions, who, by their legal decisions, undermine the Spirituality expressed in the Constitution.
One wonders why they are working so hard to reject any expression of Spirituality in public places....
why some work so hard to render 'illegal' the Constitutionally
guaranteed Freedom for citizens to express and demonstrate the Acceptance
of the Authority of Almighty God
as an integral part of the Life of the Nation and the Life of the People of the Nation.
One wonders how long the prevailing atheistic mindset will be allowed to violate the People's Rights,
Rights that are based on the Inherent Intent and Understanding of Freedom of individual
religious expression by the Founding Fathers.
Those early Patriots, who came to this land from diverse places and cultures,
knew what they were doing when they drew up a set of simple governing Guide Lines
meant to protect the citizenry from governmental legal and religious abuse....
even while establishing civil, political and religious liberty, while looking to God for Guidance
in all areas of the life of the Nation. The Constitution written by those First Patriots is a Work of Art
and a guarantee of safety under Law for every man, woman and child.
As important....perhaps most important,
the wording and intent of the Constitution of the Untied States of America was formulated
to cast Mantle of Morality around every citizen.
Modern Americans do not understand what 'Spiritual Freedom' means never having lived without it.
Many are blind to the godless, academic atheism and liberalism that has crept into both government
and established religion throughout much of the Western world.
It was hoped by the Founders that the Constitution of the United States of America
would be a strong Document, one able to withstand any erosion of civil and religious privileges...
one that would always assure Freedom from government intrusion into
the Freedom of Individuals to worship or not worship as they chose....
one that would always allow the People to publicly display expressions of Spiritual preferences where they chose.
There are today 'forces' that are working overtime to twist the meaning of Spiritual Freedom
and expression of that Freedom as it is expressed in the Constitution.
Thus, I pray today, that there are enough people awake to the threat and danger of losing
important Constitutional Freedoms....
I pray there are enough who are grateful to Almighty God for the Blessings of this Land of the Free....
that there are enough who will stand up and speak out and fight if necessary for Freedom.
For evil never gives up!
Neither must those who love Freedom.
Now....food for thought!

After reviewing acknowledgments, written into all 50 State Constitutions,
praising and asking for the continued Participation of Almighty God
in the Life of America and Americans
maybe, just maybe, organizations like the ACLU and liberal Federal Courts
might wish to rethink their interpretation of 'separation of Church and State'.
Those who are still confused on the issue,
might take time to re-read the Constitution to clarify what is actually written:
namely that there shall not be one 'Federal Church'
and the People shall have Freedom of, (not protection from) religious expression of their choice.
The Founding Fathers asked for the Blessing and continued Direction of the Almighty
for the fledgling country as they wrote the Constitution. They knew from experience that:
"Those people who will not be governed by God
will be ruled
by tyrants." God Bless
and protect free people everywhere!
- William Penn
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
on this land and ON every land.
Let us, each one
INVOKE The Cosmic Christ Light
of Invincible Love, Purity and Peace and Grace
into, through and around everyone and everything in every country of the world.
Let us invoke into the air we breathe,
the Invincible Ascended Master Energy and Consciousness of Freedom
to compel the DISSOLVING of any 'line of impure energy' that sets one group
of people against another or continues to distort and hide God-Truth'.
Through the Power of the Christ within us, we can do this.
Man and God working together
can save the Planet and the People from more pain and destruction.
