Hi Donna,
I too am dismayed by the spiritual, intellectual, and psychological immaturity of our country’s leaders. We should expect them to be the brightest, most forward looking, inspiring people our nation has available. We should be in awe of the brilliance of their words and the concern they have for the American people.
Instead, they’re adolescents in suits, bickering, name calling, pandering to their cliques, and completely inept. It’s a sorry state for our nation to be in. The founding fathers described an eighteenth century idealistic government. It should have engendered the foresight and thinking that would have evolved over two centuries to fit the new world and reflect humankind’s maturation. They would have been appalled to see where the nation’s leadership has gone.
What they’re doing has nothing to do with spirituality, although if there were spiritually mature people in office, it would make a tremendous difference in what they would do for the people of this country. They’re all materialistic, with no real ideology. Their guiding motivation is the infinite pursuit of infinite wealth.
We all do need to speak out about the sorry state of our nation’s governance when we’re given the chance. That won’t help humankind grow spiritually, but we do have to live on the Earth plane while we’re learning lessons, and we need to do what we can to make it livable.

What guidance might we get from those souls who live well above the fray?
Repeatedly, I’ve heard them say we must have an international spirit. We have to abandon national allegiances and religious creeds. We must be humble servants to everyone else, in love and brotherhood. Those who govern are far from that. I don’t expect that to change.

How can those us who hope to promote our collective spiritual evolution best serve as citizens of this world?
We really can’t do anything in Caesar’s kingdom; we have to do it in God’s. We have to be what we want the world to be. We must be compassionate, loving servants to others. We need to help others understand their relationships to God and that they are eternal beings whose mission in life is to grow spiritually and help others grow. We need to focus on the spiritual and abandon the physical.
Love and peace, Craig
