GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Good Morning, America:

Together we have turned a page of history, and we all can be proud that we have taken this bold and beautiful step. As I listened to both of the important speeches of Senator McCain, as well as President-Elect Obama, it was easy to hear the reconciliatory tone they offered. Both were beautiful in the invoking of healing to the fury of the last few weeks. Now, may we do our part.

You and I, as well as all other members of our society, stand at the shore of time looking into the unknown face of change. Everyone is ready; we just hardly know where to start. We must begin with the small efforts that help us to reach out to the neighbor with the political sign in their yard with which we differed. We must do business in nice ways with merchants that last week we could hardly tolerate; we must bring into each action "the change we want to see."

For all of us who have bemoaned past decisions, some seemingly cruel and uncaring, pain has befallen our country in recent years in so many ways. Economic change touches everyone. We must create ways to establish a more fair financial stability for all. The blatant misuse of money, power, and position has sickened so many, has taken so much away from so many, and has been too costly for the caring heart. This is the work of the Seventh Ray and we are moving to a new understanding of the power of currents used in new ways.

I love the words "participatory democracy." How we use the power that is moving in our collective heart right now is up to us. We need to embrace house cleaning rapidly. We can clean up poor decisions and warped laws. We can indeed envision together the land of the free and bring healing to the hurts that could harmfully linger.

We need to honor those who have served; we need to take back our freedoms, and we need to be a land of respectful worship of God. The God of all people, and the higher forces that have brought this country from a handful of pilgrims to a mighty blend of races, all with hope for something better, will be with us as we bring into manifestation the new era.

It is a new era. Birthing is not easy, but we do celebrate. And we give thanks that the labor pain is over and the new is here. May we each be conciliatory as we step into the energy of new beginnings and reach out with healing in our hearts and minds. Life is not easy for anyone, and when we bring the energy of yesterday and the energy of tomorrow together we are being the people of "both-and," that is the energy of Sophia.

Happy new beginnings, dear friends. We are Creators. May we use well the opportunity at hand. Please pray for our group mind that again and again we may step wisely into our days. We are laying a foundation for the new.
