Spirituality for the Politically Incorrect

Hello and welcome to today's episode, “Universal Laws, Part 5, Free Will and the Law of Cause and Effect.”

So how does free will and the law of cause and effect intersect? We're all created equal, but since we have free will to make choices, that's where our equality ends.

It's your choices over the entire span of your earthly existence that determine what you must experience in order to balance karma, grow spiritually and accelerate on the spiritual path.

It's interesting to me to see how some of the most privileged people in society see themselves as victims, which only validates a belief that victimhood is a state of consciousness.

“If You Change the Way You Look at Things, the Things You Look at Change.”

The late Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” We have the power to change our state of mind, our belief structure, how we perceive life. As the saying goes, “Change your thinking and change your life.”

For instance, you can catch yourself when you start to rehash and recreate a hurt or a difficult situation. You can even stop yourself before you start thinking of yourself as a victim. Whether we like to admit it or not, there's always that point where you can say ‘no’ to yourself.  

“No, Nancy, we're not going there.  We're not recreating this. We're not reliving it.”  The ‘we’ is you speaking from your Higher Self to your soul. Now another way to look at that is you can think of it as the adult you speaking to the inner child. It's a matter of personal discipline. You can learn to control your thoughts, which lead to feelings.

Now, if the feelings appear to come first, you can refuse to engage them and change your thoughts as just described. Because when you rehash situations, you're simply re-sowing the seeds that will grow and come back to you again.

An important fact about the law of cause and effect is while it's a simple law, its application is not always apparent.  Effects of the causes that we set in motion are not necessarily instant. It may take a lifetime or numerous lifetimes before the effects of our actions circle back to us.

In reality, this is the mercy of the law. It gives us additional time to grow and mature spiritually so we're better prepared to handle the return effects of some of our unenlightened choices from the past. It also gives us an opportunity to balance some of our debts to life through our service to others, even specific individuals whom we may have harmed over time. Positive karma also returns to us and helps us get through the times when negative karma circles back.

At other times, a return of karma can seem almost instant. It can be as simple as helping a neighbor in need and then later a different neighbor helps you when you lose your job. Or it may be that you're not careful and as a result you fall and sustain a serious injury.

A Portion of Your Karma Returns to You Daily

The law requires that a portion of your karma returns to you daily. This is what Jesus meant when he said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Your ‘cross’ is your karma that you're called to transmute and balance daily. You're meant to ‘deny’ yourself, which means that you turn away from the human consciousness and follow in the footsteps of Jesus to become as he is.

Now whether you're aware of it or not, this game of life goes on continuously every moment of your life. Your thoughts, feelings, actions, and words are all creations that define your world and send forth degrees of constructive or destructive energies.

This can be the reason why you sometimes see wonderful people experiencing dire personal experiences. We often hear people ask, “Why would God allow such and such to happen?” When in reality we are the quote “God” in this dimension. We are creators and we were given dominion over the earth. We have free will to choose how we express that dominion.

When we create in conjunction with God and our own divine nature, we're in alignment with divine will and we're true co-creators with God. The God above and the God below are in complete harmony. We are whole just as Jesus said, “I and my father are one.” We become the instruments of our divine nature expressing itself.

Being made in God's image and likeness, you are meant to create as he creates, manifesting instant results. “Let there be light, and there was light.” Jesus demonstrated this mastery with the miracles he performed.

Sometimes we learn the hard way when using our creative energies. A good plan of action to live by is to understand that all of your life is your responsibility and nobody else's. Let's not miss the critical key that Jesus gave us when he spoke ‘I AM’ statements. He was teaching us how to master the law of cause and effect by being the cause that sets forth effects in our own lives and in the world at large.

‘I AM’ is a declaration of what ‘is.’ For example, “I AM the light of the world.” The cause, “I AM the light.”  The effect, the light is in the world. The more you decree ‘I AM,’ the more you are sending forth the effect of whatever you are declaring.

The Two Most Powerful Words You Can Utter

‘I AM’ are the two most powerful words you can ever utter.  Use them wisely.

Take the time now to contemplate the law of cause and effect and the concept of taking full responsibility for your life. Write down what it means to you to take full responsibility for your life and identify ways that you are taking full responsibility for your life. Then identify ways that you don't take full responsibility and what changes could you make.  Then create ‘I AM’ statements around those situations so that you become the cause.

That's all for today.

I will be with you next week. Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart and a powerful spirit.

Hello and welcome to Universal Laws, Part Four: “The Law of Cause and Effect.”

Now some people believe that the Law of Cause and Effect is really not scientific.  It's kind of a ‘new age’ concept—the law of attraction. But Albert Einstein actually has something to say about that. He says,

Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy, this is physics.”

So that's his perspective and I think it sheds a lot of light on those who think that the law of cause and effect is not a scientific law. This law is the third universal law that we're talking about today and it's really been with us since the beginning of time. It's the most fundamental law of how the universe works.

We know it by a number of different names. The law of karma, Newton's third law, “for every action there's an opposite and equal reaction,” and of course those colloquial expressions such as ‘what goes around comes around,’ ‘what you sow you reap.’ So this is really not a new concept at all.

Religious Texts

We also find that the same law being taught in a number of the world's religions. In the Bible, book of Matthew, we see, “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.”

In the Buddhist scriptures it says, “According to the seed that is sown so is the fruit you reap there. From doer of goodwill gathers good, from doer of evil, evil reaps.”

Foundational to this understanding of the law of cause and effect is the understanding of the law of vibration which we talked about last week.

Returning to the basic premise that everything is energy and according to its vibrational speed and frequency, we have different manifestations—including you—because you are a vibrational being and according to the level of your vibration it's what you're putting out to the universe that will come back to you.

You Are a Creator

You are constantly creating with your thoughts, your emotions, your memories, your words, your actions. All of these are manifestations of energy.

As an illustration, if you had a traumatic experience at some point in your life and you've not completely released it, that energy imprint, or record, is still in your subconscious memory. Each time you think about it and feel it all over again it's no longer something in the past, it's in your present moment. By reliving the past you're recreating the situation all over again. As you recreate that past situation it becomes an even stronger imprint, and it can become like a prison for you.

This is one cause of illness, disease, and emotional bondage—not being able to release and let go of these past traumatic experiences which are energies manifesting in our four lower bodies, meaning our physical body, our emotional body, our mental body, and our memory body.

Well, the good news is that this is also true with your good memories.

You can likewise raise your vibration to a very high level by simply remembering or re-experiencing a very wonderful event that happened in your life. Many people use this “remembering” technique in their meditations to get centered in their hearts, or when their vibrations dip to a lesser level and they want to get back to a higher vibration.

Responsibility for Your Own Life

But in order to grasp fully and understand the law of cause and effect we can't overlook the important fact that we must take responsibility for our lives. This is sometimes a tall order for some people. Society today practically encourages us to blame others for the condition in our lives, whether it be our parents, our teachers, past experiences, the government, or just our particular circumstances.

So, contemplate this concept of taking full responsibility for your own life.

What does that exactly mean to you today? Are you a victim? Do you place yourself in that role?

Take a look at that and next week we will talk about how free will and the law of cause and effect interact.

Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Hello and welcome to “Universal Laws Part 3: The Law of Vibration.”

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.  - Nikola Tesla

The second universal law we're going to talk about is the “Law of Vibration.”

Quantum physics tells us that everything is energy and energy is in constant motion, and it vibrates at varying speeds.  According to the rate and frequency of the vibration, we have various manifestations that we see and those that we don't see in the physical world.

For instance, the objects around you, such as your chair, your desk, the car you drive, etc., appear to be solid, but they're not. Rather, everything is energy in motion composed of rapidly flashing packets of energy.

So, why do they appear solid when they're not?

Well, I always think of a movie as a good analogy. In the movie, people are moving around in what appears to be in a smooth, continuous fashion.  But in reality, those moving images are a series of just slightly progressed different frames that flash before you so quickly, every split second, that you don't perceive the time gap between the frames. It all looks solid, just like we view motor movements in real life.

We experience life through our five senses, which are conveyed to us through vibrations. We experience life with our thoughts, emotions, and attitudes that are vibrations that others can sense.

For example, you probably have had the experience of meeting someone and feeling uncomfortable in their presence, even though they may not outwardly express anything negative. 

Or, you could be feeling down a bit, and then an old friend that you haven't heard from in a long time calls you on the phone and says they're in town, so happy to connect with you, and you immediately respond to their enthusiastic energy, and your energy changes, and you feel excited and good again.

Because you responded, that person's energy literally lifted your vibration. Of course, there may be times when you are the person with a positive energy that lifts someone else who needs it.

Everything and everybody has a vibratory frequency that is continually being broadcast. Think of Jesus' words when he said that we shall know them by their fruits. Fruits are not only results produced, but also vibrations.

Knowing that everything is energy, it's a great key to understanding yourself and how the universe works. It is this law of vibration that gives birth to the law of cause and effect, which we're going to talk about next week.

But I want you to think of a time when you had gut feelings about someone or some situation.  Did you follow that feeling? What was the result?

Energy is a fascinating thing, and if you doubt that you're energy, take a few minutes to rub your hands together very, very hard for about 10 seconds, and then hold them a couple inches apart and feel the energy that's flowing between the two. Then you move your hands out slightly and back, and it's almost like there's a block of energy in between your hands.

This is your life force. This is your energy, and this energy can be directed for healing and various purposes.

That's all for today, and I will see you next week. Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Hello and welcome to today's episode, “Universal Laws, Part Two, The Law of Free Will.”

Now, the law of free will is many times overlooked and not included in the list of universal laws.  But if you think about it, your ability to choose is critical in determining the outcomes for your life.

So, from my perspective, it's one of the most important, if not the most important, of all the universal laws. Because we have to consider, even after you're aware of universal laws, you have the choice as to whether or not you follow them.

Do We Really Have Free Will?

Some people question whether or not we really have free will. Because if we choose not to follow universal laws, there are negative consequences. But of course, this is why it's even more important that we learn these laws and align with them so we can thrive and make progress.

Ask yourself, do you believe that circumstances limit your choices and you don't really have free will? Or you're a victim of your upbringing or your status in life or identification with a certain group of people?

If so, this is a false belief that limits you. You can choose to be who you want to be, to think the thoughts that go beyond your limits, and feel a specific way, no matter what your circumstances are. It's really up to you.

The Amazing Viktor Frankl

I like to look at the life of the amazing Viktor Frankl, who lived through his experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

This was a great lesson he learned when his freedom was taken away from him, and he was brutally treated. He could not change how he was being treated, so he chose to change how he responded to it, how he perceived it. As a result, not only did he survive when many others perished, but he also lived to tell his story of personal transformation that has helped millions.

Our free will is exercised all the time. We have small and large choices in life that range from deciding when to get up in the morning, when to go to the store, whether we want to get married, have a child, whether we speed on the highway and risk a ticket or accident, or to join a neighborhood gang in order to feel we belong somewhere.

The choices you make in these instances lead to very different outcomes. Some are positive, some are negative, some don't impact your life or anyone else's in any significant way, but making decisions is a critical part of who you are and how you progress in life, and this is both spiritually and materially.

Evaluate a Choice You Have Made in the Past

So take a time, recall, write down a time when you had a major decision to make. If you can't think of a major decision, then use any decision where you had two or more options to choose from and you had to make a choice.

Once you've identified the situation, then list what your choices were in that situation. Taking the choice that you made, what was the outcome that resulted?

Then look at other potential choices. What might have been different if you made any of those choices?  Do you regret the choice you actually made? What did you learn from that experience? Have you made the most from that outcome?

It's worth spending some time on this because it's very important to understand the significance and the results of the decisions that you make.

I will be with you next week as we investigate our second universal law, the law of vibration. Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Hello and welcome everybody to our episode today where we're going to be talking about the spiritual cosmology of light versus darkness.

I'm very happy to have Alberta Fredrickson back with us today as we sum up what we've been talking about in the last two episodes. Thank you, Alberta, for being with us here another week.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Thank you, Nancy. It's good to be with you.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Our special guest today is Mark Myers. Mark's a veteran researcher and he even does this for his profession where he investigates the medical and biochemical literature to develop integrative health solutions to major illnesses.

In his personal time, he really goes into ferreting out hidden information about the spiritual dimensions and the history of our universe from a spiritual perspective that maybe many people have not heard before.

Mark, we're really happy to have you with us today. You've been with me before in some of our earlier episodes, which people really loved. We are looking forward to not only hearing about your fascinating research, but how specifically it relates to what we're dealing with today in America and around the world. We have talked about these things in our last two episodes, so welcome, Mark.

Guest Mark Myers:

Well, it's nice to be with you, Nancy. Always fun to be able to share these exciting facts with people as we get a greater perspective of where we came from so that we know where we're going to go.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Exactly. So, Alberta, maybe it'd be best if you could just start with a real brief summary to bring Mark up to date with what we've covered and our listeners in the last two episodes here.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Okay, well, it's such an exciting topic. It's always hard to summarize and make it brief, but I think one of the things that we've been talking about is this concept of America as an experiment of the Great White Brotherhood.  It's actually an experiment in freedom, in this element of freedom, and we're certainly getting many lessons daily in the news about this aspect.

The Great White Brotherhood, which you have talked about before, is really a group of individuals and they're both ascended and unascended as we still are. This includes individuals of all races, all creeds, all nationalities.

We're really talking about everyone here. When we make reference to that term that we've used before called the ‘I AM Race,” it's not about race. It's not about race at all. It's about the Light and the presence of God to come through each and every one of us and through our nations and through all of the activities that each of us are engaged in daily.

Saint Germain, of course, who you have introduced to your audience and all of us love dearly, is the ascended master who's really the sponsor for this particular age, the Aquarian age. He explained that America really was, and still is, an experiment.

There are no psychological or astrological predictions that determine how it's going to turn out. We don't know what America's fate is yet because we are in it and we are developing it and we are moving forward with it. So it's not fore- ordained in any way. It will be what we make of this amazing opportunity for our turn of life on planet earth.

So, there isn't anything automatic about fulfilling a cosmic destiny. America is simply the opportunity, the gift of freedom, like the gift of free will that we have been given, and placed in our hands and our hearts, and we are here with the divine intention of delivering it and bringing it to a whole planet.

If indeed there is to be a victory for freedom, a real cosmic destiny that can be forged and won first on this continent and then on the entire planetary body, it will be because this group of people that we've spoken of, this I AM Race, have made this quality of freedom their own. Sometimes this has been referred to as the work of the ages, this quality of freedom.

So the masters have emphasized that America is more than just a nation. It's a symbol. It's a symbol to all people of the possibility for the realization of both individual and world freedom. This possibility is also a responsibility and it rests upon the shoulders of what we have referred to as the Lightbearers, those souls who have known freedom in the past, those who have embraced it and realize the potential for the expansion of a flame of freedom and a flame of liberty in the heart of all Lightbearers in the world and in all the nations of this world.

So currently we're seeing some rather radical elements in the news who openly state that they are Marxists trained and that their intention is to tear down this system of freedom and of governing peoples, which means tearing down our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

So these are efforts not only to destroy the intent for America and for planet earth, but it's also to rewrite our national history. The masters have taught us that they would like us also to expand in the consciousness of those who are in these United States, in America and in the world, this awareness of the oneness of life upon the earth and on the planet and that maybe here in America where we are given this amazing quality of freedom, we can once again come together and draw mankind together and set before the people of the whole planet a bigger cup of light in the heart of America.

It's like a future that the Holy Family concept can draw us together and make us feel that Holy Family concept. Once again, we see that this example, that America can be a holy family concept example to the entire planet and for us to realize how much opposition there is to it in our present moment, in our present day. And that's why we turn to our spiritual practices to assist us and getting through and passing our own tests, helping our nation to pass the tests, helping our leaders to pass their tests so that we can bring this holy family concept not only to America, but to this entire planet.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Yes. Well, thank you for that. We also talked about how America is not a perfect nation because there's no such thing actually.  It was founded by people, imperfect people who had vision, who were inspired by the Divine, by God's direction to them. We talked about how Christopher Columbus, how he wrote in his own words, how he was inspired.

So if our listeners, any of you have not heard the first two episodes prior to this one, I really would encourage you to listen to those because I think it'll give you a new perspective on America and what it is.  It is still in the becoming.

Now, we left our listeners last week, we left you all by pointing out how Jesus came to this planet in his own words, “not to bring peace but a sword.”

Even though he gave us those two ‘great commandments’ and exemplified them in his life, his total compassionate love and mercy, he was fully aware of the fallen angels and those of darkness that he had come at that particular time in that particular region of the world for their judgment.

So this is an important key and this is what we're going to talk about today because understanding the forces of light and darkness is really key right now to the victory not only of our nation, but personally and of our planet because like we said, every planet has its divine plan also and all life keeps evolving toward—back to their Source, the One.

So, this is where we're going to begin today. Mark, tell us first about how you do your research and the sources of your research and just a summary of that.

Guest Mark Myers:

Okay. Well basically I research everything that I can find from different spiritual movements. I look at the Internet, I look all over the place, the sources that I have found to be credible in the past, and I aggregate this information into a picture.

So we have a viewpoint and I think that it's important that we expand our view, our awareness, our cosmic lens with which we look at things. Because if we look from a very narrow viewpoint, for instance, a thousand years or a few thousand years, then we're only seeing a very minuscule part of history.

But remember, time is vast and millions and millions and millions of years, and there's a history that we have here on this planet of light and darkness. And before that just light. And there's a history throughout the entire galaxy and these sectors of galaxies that God created where there has been a great battle going on.

I mean, star Wars showed the great rebellion.  Well this wasn't too far from the truth. We had many millions of years ago a great rebellion, the forces of darkness wanting to overcome the forces of light and being kicked out of heaven as the Bible tells us.

So, this is kind of the lens that we need to look at things through so that we can really have a clear and crystal perspective of what we need to do for our own personal victory, but also for a planetary victory and also for the victory of our entire solar system.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Yes, and we know that a lot has been revealed by the ascended masters through their lineage and that which they have brought forth starting really in the 19th century, 20th centuries and up to the present.

So, we have a lot also of scientists who have found a lot of archeological kinds of proof of things of different evolutions on this planet. Very interesting. So, we know it goes back a long way. We know there's talk of Atlantis and Lemuria and different civilizations that really are not outpictured in our current history.

So Mark, take us back to the earliest point of what you know about the forces of light and darkness and that you talked about those being cast out of heaven and how that all has come about.

Guest Mark Myers:

Well, as you were saying, Nancy, the last 150 years or so has been very rich with movements that have brought things from higher octaves to us in the physical where we have more of a connection through movements of…I can name a few: Theosophy, the I AM movements, the Agni Yoga Society, Bridge to Freedom.

A lot of these movements have brought to us pieces of information. So if we go back, well first I agree a hundred percent with what Alberta's saying. I like to say that I think that as we stand in the middle of this alchemical crucible, this experiment of America, which is still unformed, but we don't know the outcome. As we stand in that crucible and look, we can clearly start to see the forces that are molding that and you're seeing them outplaying again as they've played in ages past.

I mean, America is an open experiment, I might call it, I'm trying to think of the right word. It's an open experiment in the last couple hundred years where in the past the Masters have taught us in private, in mystery schools. They've given us the Truth, they've given us the vision.

Well, America has given us a chance for all of us in an outer way to outplay all these things. This is a very important time. But to trace back to the very earliest points that we really understand, we understand that earth was inhabited early on. You probably talked about the root races, which are mandalas of souls that come to earth. The first three root races came outpictured the light, and they returned to the higher octaves without a glitch.

So we know that earth had these golden ages and the golden age simply means that we're out picturing the gold of God, the golden light of God. So we had those golden ages.

Now, when the Fourth Root Race came, there was a cosmic glitch that happened in somewhere in the galaxy. We don't know where, but some point we had the great rebellion as I was talking about earlier.

In this great rebellion, we had a rebellion of the fallen angels, and this is the original insanity in my view. And I believe the ascended masters use the insanity of rebelling against the great being that created you, a rebellion against God, the creator.

So we have this rebellion and it states in the revelations in the Bible that they were kicked out of heaven. So now they're down here amongst us, and what did they do? Did they repent? Did they try to regain their highest state? No, they came across the physical material galaxy in huge amounts of destruction, destroying worlds everywhere that they went. And eventually they came to our own galaxy and our own solar system.

You can see some of the destruction. If you look at some of the planets here, you see that Mars has no atmosphere. It's a red planet, a dead planet. You see an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which is the remnant as many of us probably know of a planet called Maldek.

Maldek was destroyed by forces on their own planet that created such nuclear weapons and such nuclear war that they actually turned their planet into rubble. Then they were given the opportunity to come here, and this is the point where we come in where light and darkness actually met.

At this point the earth, we had innocent Fourth Root Race here on Lemuria, which was the motherland of Earth. They were evolving and decisions were made by higher cosmic councils, ascended masters, and by the initiates here on the planet. “Yes, we'll take some of these souls that destroyed their planet Maldek and let them interweave and embody among us and we can help them and we can bring them up higher in the light because there is still some good in these souls to redeem it.

Well, what happened was the exact opposite. Instead of them being brought up to higher levels of light, they brought the entire planet down. This is the point in history where the Bible picks up with good and evil and starting to talk about this.

So when you start to expand the lens of awareness, looking at this cosmic perspective, we can see now that this battle of good and evil, light and darkness has been going on for a very long time.

We're actually in the time that Jesus predicted is the end times, which is the time when this will be resolved, when the darkness will be separated out from the light. We, as lightbearers as Alberta was saying, need to make the calls that these ones, the right thing happens, that this darkness is overcome and that the planet is raised up into a golden age, which we know there are predictions of.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Right, and we also know that the evolutions on the planet who volunteered to take some of these souls to actually help them, they got caught up. Like you say, it brought it all down instead of bringing them up.

But this had to do with the choice to accept into your consciousness, to look at the creation instead of the creator, shift your consciousness and accept into your being and world this unreality.

So, it still comes back to our responsibility, personal responsibility. Even though these forces were very evolved scientifically, they taught the engines of war, they taught the concept of war to this planet.

Because like you said, those first three root races which were evolutions of light created by God who came into the physical to manifest those unique qualities that God created them to make them a unique individual, that they return back to their Source and become those eternal life, those permanent beings. That's where this ‘fall,’ as Mark has said, happened.

It's important for us to understand that these forces, having all of this energy that was no longer the perfect alignment with God's will and who we really are, our mighty I AM Presence, which is God within us. That lack of alignment has opened the door to many evolutions.

The ascended masters have told us that just like America is a melting pot of the world, well, the planet is kind of a melting pot of this universal system. There are many evolutions on this planet from various different planets and systems in the solar system.

So we have all levels of consciousness, everything from the very darkest ones who manipulate the light bearers and steal their light because they've cut off their own connection to the God Presence within them. So you have to continue your existence, you have to steal the light somewhere to get it to exist.

These are the ones that are deceiving us on this planet. What are their main tactics? Divide and conquer. Keep us at war with one another. Let the lightbearers keep killing themselves off while these fallen ones manipulate the monetary system on the whole planet. Keep us indebted, keep it all going.

So, we see a lot of things manifesting right here and now in this day and age that we are dealing with.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Nancy and Mark, when I listened to Mark relay the history basically of the universe and the cosmos, it tends I think, to make us, as think of ourselves as mere humans here and look at the mess we've made and look at the mess we're in and how can we ever get out of it.

That's what is so incredibly powerful about the I AM teachings and the meaning of ‘I AM’ because it's claiming God where we are. I mean the very phrase ‘I AM’ is “God in me is.”

So I'm just in awe every time I think about how large the obstacles seem and that the simplest of tools, a couple of words give us the concept because it's not just us, it's God in us. It's God in the earth and it's God in everyone else. So it couldn't be more powerful. We could not be better equipped to be able to handle what feels like a darkness that will just swallow us all up.

So, I'm just listening to Mark again relay that history makes me realize how grateful we are for the teachings and of the very words ‘I AM’ and what we choose to put behind those words because it means, “God is.”

Host Nancy Showalter:

Yes, and that is what the I AM Race is all about. It's those who actually are awakening, are awakened to or are awakening, to that presence of God within them and understanding that there is a greater power within all of us, and that's what unites us, that oneness in God I AM.

So we find that this is the way out of this dilemma, is the raising of consciousness, the awakening of the people of the light, not necessarily going out and destroying everything and having a physical war. It's the revolution of higher consciousness rather than physical revolution of destroying one another.

It's important that we recognize this divide and conquer tactic because this is the main one. You can see it, dividing with races, with genders, with lifestyles, with rich and poor and all different ways that we are being divided.

So, Mark, won't you continue.

Guest Mark Myers:

Okay, well, the division of lightbearers, of course is their key objective, but their modus operandi we have to remember is deception. Deception is how they manipulate us because we are unaware. If we are unaware, I mean more and more people are becoming aware, but as our unawareness we can be very easily manipulated. So it is that awareness that helps us to rise above and then use the spiritual tools, which I believe we'll be talking about in a little while. 

But deception, it goes all the way back. If you look at the Bible and you look at the Old Testament and the early fights between Babylon and Nimrod and where this whole thing started, they realized that they couldn't beat the lightbearers in an outward outright fight in the light, so to speak, or outward. So they had to go and hide and be deceiving, and they manipulate us from the shadows, from the darkness.

It's very hard to fight an enemy that's in the shadows. Have you ever tried be in the military and fight in the middle of the night and try to fight someone that you can't see? So this is a time where we need to draw these individuals and their modus operandi out of the shadows into the light so that we can use our spiritual tools and our new gained awareness as we're all gaining more and more and more awareness as we rise higher and the vibration of the planet becomes higher. We gain that awareness, drawing them out of the shadows so that we can have a real true victory by overcoming this darkness.

We all know the Bible says that light will overcome the darkness. If you enter a dark room and switch on the light, which one wins, right?

Host Nancy Showalter:

Right, exactly. We have to emphasize too that these dark forces have penetrated every aspect of life on this planet. That's why Jesus came, and he even said, “The prince of this world cometh, but he has nothing in me.” 

We've talked about that, meaning when we purify ourselves, we can't be hooked by these fallen ones who come to hook into our own personal weaknesses, and that's how they can control us individually, but also collectively where we can actually kill each other off in wars and oppose each other constantly understanding that really the force that is pushing us down is not the lightearers, it is these forces of darkness. 

They have infiltrated even the United States government and here we are. You can go back even in the history of this nation, the history of statements on the planet of how there's been vows by various enemies of the state to infiltrate, they will infiltrate America from within.

So, is it always easy to tell who’s light and darkness? Not always because there are a lot of lightbearers who are, as Mark said, deceived, and they fall for a lot of this stuff and they become then the tools of the fallen ones not even knowing it.

So we can't judge in that sense. We can only ask the Lord Jesus Christ to judge and because God knows pure judgment of separating the tares from the wheat, the light and the darkness as Jesus taught.

Guest Mark Myers:

Yeah, we have a certain equation I think that we need to look at here. That equation is who's going to, how many light bearers are going to wake up versus how many are still manipulated and still deceived and in darkness, and the equation ultimately plays out.

The more lightbearers wake up, the more time we'll have on this planet to overcome this darkness. We as light bearers can influence all this. We have many, many ways of doing this.

First of all, we raise our own vibration and when we have a certain vibration, it's transmitted around us. We have an aura, an aura of what we would call light, of concentrated energy of a force that we can send out. We can send that energy out and envelop an entire planet. The aura of one lightbearer that's been raised up enough can engulf the entire planet and affect every other particle and every other life on this planet to help them raise up.

We also have powers of meditation. We can go into meditation and use powers of visualization, of focus of what we call ‘picturization’ to picture a greater and greater planet, a planet of lightbearers, of everybody being Buddhas or everybody being spiritual, ascended masters.

As we put that out there more and more, there'll be more and more people that will actually raise to that concept that we send out there. It's another thing that we can do. We also have the power of the spoken word, which we know is very important in this time. We can use mantras, we can use chanting, we can use fiats. We can watch the news, and we can give simple prayers to whoever our favorite ascended master is, whether it be Jesus or whomever. Then we make that call.

I find it's most effective when you're watching the news to make it right then and there while you're thinking about it, when you see that heinousness or whatever is going on in the news, you make the call and then you release it and then God will take over.

We also have a very powerful way of making prayers, which we call the power of the spoken word. You've probably talked about that. There are certain prayers that unlock the alchemical keys to the light in certain masters and allow those masters to shed their light on our planet and to take control.

So, in other words, we have a grid of light that descends from the ascended master Jesus or Saint Germain or El Morya or whomever that master is that we're making a call and their consciousness comes in as a grid of light and takes over.

So we call for it over our president, over our government, over our people, over our cities that are experiencing all this violence, over our law enforcement, over anything that you want to place that with.

Then that master's consciousness and energy will take over and we can have a change, an alchemical change. It's like you're standing there in the crucible of being, and it could have gone one way, but the master is there, and it goes the right way, the will of God.

So, these are all things that we can do, and we have tremendous power if we're talking about. We are divine beings, we have a certain divinity. We may be now in the physical, but this is only a part, a small part of ourselves. We have much in the divine that we can draw down, use this power, use this love, use this wisdom to change ourselves and a planet.

Host Nancy Showalter:

We can't underestimate the power of calling God's angels into action. Every ascended master, like Jesus said, he has legions and legions of angels at his disposal, and this is true in the whole heaven world.

We have the power to call in the name of our I AM that I AM, in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of any ascended master, to send those legions of light into these troubled cities, into those that are experiencing difficulty.

You can do this whether it is for violence, whether it is for rebellion, whether it is for natural disaster, whether it is for just uplifting communities.  The power of prayer and the invocation and taking these tools are very important.

When you look at the news, many people don't even want to look at the news anymore, especially people who are on a spiritual path because they realize, number one, a lot of unreality in the news, but also they don't want to taint their consciousness.

Well, try looking at the news from a different perspective like Mark was describing. When you look at the news, look at it from the level of your Christ Self, your Higher Mental Body, your divine self, and make the call.  Send the angels, call for the violent flame. We've talked about the violet flame. We know for our own improvement and our own psychology, we have the I AM affirmations as Alberta talked about.

We can invoke light, send light, send angels, and as Mark said, call the master’s electronic presence to be over situations. This can be for individuals that are passing out of the screen of life, people who have ailments, healing prayers.

We use the same power to send God's light and the healing light of Jesus Christ, of Mother Mary, of Archangel Raphael, the different archangels to send to these folks for the healing energy.

This can be for yourself, for your family, for your community. We have to just expand our consciousness to be aware of just how powerful we are. We are one with God made into the image and likeness.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

That's exactly the phrase I was thinking, Nancy, is that when we see these circumstances in the world, it tends to want to make us feel small. We're not able, we can't overcome these things. They're too big for us to handle.

That's what's so wonderful about these teachings and about the meaning of ‘I AM,’ it's ‘God in me is.’

When we say ‘I AM” awake to these things, God and me is awake to these things. So with God on our side, we're never outnumbered and we're never too small and we're never too tiny to be able to make a difference.

I know that people, I do sometimes, when I'm watching the news, I get discouraged thinking, “Oh, this is so big. How can we ever overcome this? It's just gone too far now.”

But the truth is that these simple words, ‘I AM,’ meaning ‘God in me is,’ are such a powerful way for us to move our own consciousness out of whatever we're thinking is hopeless, whatever we thinking is too big for me to handle. Somebody else will have to do it, or this is the government's job. It's not my job.

We can't do that. It's our job because it's God's job, and it's God in us who's doing the job.

So, I'm so grateful for all the various tools that we have that make it possible to listen to the news and turn things around by giving this positive response right in to the face and the voice of the news.

Guest Mark Myers

This is an important point that Alberta's making and a cautionary note, is that we need to remember that we always should do the will of God or call that the will of God be done and to stay in almost like a continence of humbleness and humility when we make these calls.

A gentle one is the Buddhist would call it because there are stories in Eastern myths like Milarepa and other ones where early on they used these powers that they developed to destroy their enemies. Well, we never want to do this. It's God that takes charge of these things.

We want to keep in this humble adoring humility that we do. So, I just caution people to remember that. One thing when we make calls is we can always add at the end that this be done according to the will of God so that we don't get ourselves into trouble,

Host Nancy Showalter

Right.  You never make a call in anger, fear any other vibration. That's why I say you must bring your consciousness to a higher level and you're allowing God to do the work.

It's powerful praying, powerful prayers that you're putting forth. So again, yes you have, as you stand in the light of God and use that power as Mark said, it's also you are humble to that power.

Remember Jesus always said, “It's not I who do this work. It's the father within me.” That's what we must remember because we can make karma by making calls in anger against someone. That's not the idea. The idea is we want to consume darkness with the Light, and the Light is more powerful. Power in you is greater than any power outside of you, and we can consume that darkness with Light.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

In these times when we are listening to the noise, everything seems so boisterous. Even in our speaking of it now, we reference making calls, making prayers, so it's an active kind of doing. But there's this thing that Mark has alluded to as well, that there is that part of us that can do this silently and within and without making a lot of noise because we can picture to help things come into focus. We can picture the things that we want to come into our world and our awareness without even uttering a word.

Now, we do practice the science of the spoken word because it's powerful, but the way we visualize, the way we think, the way we hold things in our mind and in our mind's eye are also very powerful antidotes to some of the things that we want to see changed in our world.

So, we all have a place whether we think of ourselves as a more boisterous or outgoing personality, or “I don't speak up often, I'm really the quiet one in the corner.” Whatever that is, you still have tools to be changing these things in your mind's eye, in your thoughts, in your feelings.

Because a lot of what contributes to this madness and this mania that we're seeing is how we're feeling about things and how we're thinking. So we have the power to think, “Oh, what am I thinking now? How could I change this thought into something that's more constructive? How can I hold a different feeling about this right now in my heart and for the hearts of those who were involved in this particular activity?”  

So many tools, many of them are spoken, but many are not.

Host Nancy Showalter

I want to emphasize that what we're talking about is how we can deal with what is happening on the planet with darker forces, with all the separation of light and darkness is from a spiritual perspective, in no way are we saying that those who feel called to take their positions, whether in government or any other way, or to speak out against unreality and bring forth the truth, if that is your calling, that is totally lawful to do in the same vibration that we're talking about.

Guest Mark Myers

I just wanted to bring up another important spiritual tool, and it's a big topic, but I just want to touch on it briefly. It's a way, I mean, we're dealing with such weight of darkness upon us in every moment of every day because the darkness is very weighty. It's physical, it's weight. The karma is weight.

So, we can recharge and rejuvenate ourselves and get a divine vision and awareness of what we need to do at night. We work 24 hours a day, we work during the day.

But when we lay our bodies down to rest at night, we can go to where the masters have on higher planes, their own houses, their retreats, their temples, whatever you want to call them, where we can go and be taught and be recharged and rejuvenated by the flames there so that when we waken in the morning, we have a brighter view, a newer view, a better view of what's going on in a newfound power as we were flooded with the light of these things.

I actually very much look forward to the last moments of the night where I can be in peace and quiet like Alberta was talking about, and not be in all the noise and all the things that are going on.

As I do that, I meditate on God, and I asked to be taken to a retreat that I know of. It can be any master Jesus or Mother Mary or whatever masters that you know. They all have retreats, and these are brilliant focuses of light at a higher level, a higher frequency on this planet that our souls travel in our finer body.

So, they're wrapped in our mental body and our emotional body, so on and so forth, our etheric body.

The soul can travel to these higher planes at night, be taught and be rejuvenated. What a wonderful thing to wake up in the morning with this freshness, this new awareness, this new power to start the day again in the, what do you want to call it? Darkness or samsara down here, whatever name you want to give it to. So, I would also add this to our spiritual list of tools.

Host Nancy Showalter

Absolutely, and these retreats are where we actually go in between embodiments for instruction, for preparation for our next venture if we have not ascended and eliminated returning to this planet.

So we've talked about the ascension. We have covered a lot of information today, and I hope this has been helpful to each one of you. Is there any final word either of you would like to add?

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

It's wonderful to be with all of you and to be able and free enough to explore all of these concepts in our lives. I'm grateful. Thank you.

Guest Mark Myers

My final message would be to remember that you are a divine being, to remember the divinity within, and that we do have the ‘I AM’ as we've talked about and all these things.  We're here to bring that divinity on this planet, and eventually we will return to that divinity. So, as we say, onward Christian soldiers.

Host Nancy Showalter

Awesome. Thank you so much, Alberta. Thank you so much, Mark.

It's been a wonderful discussion, and I will see you all next week. Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Host Nancy Showalter

Hello and welcome everyone. Welcome to our episode today as we continue our discussion from last week on the question, “Does America Have a Special Role that is Spiritual in Nature?”

I'm very happy to welcome back this week Alberta Frederickson, who is author, teacher and coach, and she's also a student of the ascended Masters for many years.

So, Hi, Alberta and welcome. It's so good to have you back.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Thank you, Nancy. It's good to be with you again too.

Host Nancy Showalter

This week we're going to take a much broader and higher perspective on this topic, and we need to keep in mind that in this vast universe and cosmos, there's a greater plan that is bigger than any one of our lives and even any one planet in this magnificent universe. This is the perspective from the ascended Masters that we're going to look at today.

There is a hierarchy in heaven, meaning all life in the cosmos is part of the one part of God. People call the one, God. They might have other names, but basically all life has a level of intelligence, including plants and animals and all life comes from and was created by the One Source, which again is commonly referred to as God. So, we do use that word because we refer to it that way also.

All life is evolving, so nothing stays static. Either we progress in consciousness, or we fall back. Now, in addition to the sons and daughters of God, there is the angelic kingdom and the elemental kingdom, and that elemental kingdoms are beings that ensoul the elements in the physical world. Now, we're not going to get into that in this particular episode, but at a later one we probably will.

Now we know that we each have a unique purpose for each incarnation here on earth and we're destined to outpicture, or to demonstrate, that divine purpose for which we were created.  Then to return permanently to the Source, that total reunion, the I AM Presence, and at that point, we too will be an ascended Master no longer required to embody in the physical dimension.

Alberta, just as we each have a divine plan, each planet and each nation also has a divine plan. This is where the divine purpose of America comes into play.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Yes, it's pretty amazing how all of this fits together so beautifully and getting a greater understanding of what the divine intention might be for all of us is very exciting to me.

Last week we shared some of what the ascended Masters have taught us regarding the concept that America is really a grand experiment of the Great White Brotherhood. It's actually an experiment in freedom and it wasn't fore-ordained, and they didn't know how it would turn out.

So now the Great White Brotherhood is the group of individuals both ascended and ascended, and it does include individuals of all races, creeds, nationalities. So, our beloved Saint Germain, who is the ascended Master for this Aquarian Age has explained to us that America really was, and still is, an experiment. There are no psychological or astrological predictions that determine the outcome of America's fate. It is not fore-ordained. It will be what we make of this amazing opportunity.

So, there's nothing automatic about the fulfillment of a cosmic destiny. America is simply an opportunity, it's a gift of freedom. Like the gift of free will that we have is placed in the hands and the hearts of a specific group of people with the divine intention of bringing it to the whole planet.

If indeed there is to be a victory of freedom on this planet, a real cosmic destiny forged and won on this continent of North America, it will be because this people have made this quality of freedom, sometimes referred to as the ‘work of the ages,’ their own.

So, we also know as we shared last week from the historians who have deeply researched the life of Christopher Columbus, that before America was a nation, she was an inspiration in the heart and mind of this visionary explorer, Christopher Columbus. We know that this is one of the previous embodiments of beloved Saint Germain. 

This is what they found in the diaries of Christopher Columbus as he himself wrote about how he came to the Americas.

He wrote, “It was the Lord who put into my mind—I could feel his hand upon me—the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies,” meaning from Europe to the Indies, “all who heard of my project, rejected it with laughter ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because he comforted me with raves of marvelous inspiration from the holy scriptures. I am a most unworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy his marvelous presence.

“For the execution of the journey to the indies. I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. It is simply the fulfillment of what Isaiah had prophesied in the Bible.”

So just think of the power of the Holy Spirit and the personal courage it required to take off sailing with three small ships on such a voyage when most of the world thought that they would sail right off the edge of a flat world, if they thought of it at all.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, and the Masters also emphasize that while they sponsor the concept of the nation of America, they're not separatists regarding America. Rather, again, they say it is the place of the experimentation. They also say that if the experiment fails in America, it will not succeed anywhere else. It is a sponsored nation.

But each nation has a divine plan of its own to fulfill and according to their divine destinies, the various nations of the world represent the various parts of the earth body from a spiritual perspective like the seven chakras. In fact, they've told us that people of ancient Atlantis and even Lemuria have reincarnated in America to take up where they left off and to finish the work begun.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

They've emphasized that America is not just a nation, it's more than that. It's more than a nation in that it is a symbol to all people of the possibility to actually realize both individual and world freedom, the very concept of world freedom and this possibility and the responsibility for it rests upon the shoulders of the lightbearers.

That's the name given to those souls who have known freedom in the past, those who have embraced it and realize the potential for the expansion of this flame of liberty and freedom in the heart of all lightbearers in the whole world, and all the nations in the world.

Currently, we are experiencing in our news some rather radical elements who openly state their goal that they are Marxist trained and that their intention is to tear down this system of freedom and governing, which means they want to override the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There are efforts not only to destroy, but also to attempt to rewrite our national history.

Host Nancy Showalter

We see evidence of that of, course, in the tearing down of monuments, also the rewriting of textbooks. It's quite amazing, and you see some of these commentators go around and talk to college students, even professors sometimes and teachers, and they don't know the history of this country. They can't even answer basic questions and it's kind of scary.

The Masters have stated that while heaven's working with us to rescue many parts of the world, that this is the time when we must concentrate on America itself because America is going through this great trial and we see that every day in the news.

They're clear that with all of this division, it becomes more and more difficult for America to manifest her divine purpose and be the model nation of freedom and liberty to welcome all as the melting part of the world and still protect her borders. The Masters are in favor of protecting the borders, and to still send her treasure and her blood to the rescue of peoples and nations around this entire planetary body without falling prey to the vicious energy that is hatred of America.

This hatred of America is really hatred of the Light. The Masters say it's the hatred of the Light, the hatred of the Christ consciousness, hatred of the platform where one is free enough to be able and allowed to rise in consciousness. That's not the case in all countries.

Now, the Master El Morya said that we need to “let the voice of America return to one voice, one sound of the will of God.” So that one voice is meant to be in alignment with the will of God. It's not a destructive voice. It's not a violent voice. It's the will of God.

“Let the people of America come together in the reality of cosmic history and not a history revised,” he says.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Well, that's the need of the hour is to bring forth some level of unity where we're not so divided over every little aspect, including every part of even our history. Saint Germain has added to that saying that you just gave us from El Morya. He said, “The land of America in the main, so little understood by most of us, is of far more importance to all life on this planet than most of us can imagine. America is a land somewhat different from others because it is here that is gathered from every land, those who love freedom.”

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, the melting pot.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Yes, they've experienced it before. They know it when they see it, and they also know it when they're denied it.

He encourages us to remember the words Saint Germain says, “conceived in liberty.” These words appear, of course, in the famous Gettysburg address spoken by President Abraham Lincoln nearly a century ago. Saint Germain said that he actually inspired the words of that address.

So, the Masters have been with us throughout this entire existence of this country and are still with us. I can remember my days in school when we were asked to memorize the Gettysburg address and then to recite it aloud in our classrooms.

The Masters were also behind the idea of placing the great Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Now, this was a gift from the people of France to America at that time, and it stood as the open door to our great land. Saint Germain said that “the radiating light and flame of divine love from the gracious Goddess of Liberty through that statue whose likeness it is, is a much more powerful protection to our Eastern seaboard and the entire nation than any unascended being has any idea.”

So, it's not just a statue.  It is a focus, a focus of light and a protection to our Eastern seashore border.

Host Nancy Showalter

Right, and probably people aren't aware, but the Goddess of Liberty is actually also a Master in the highest spiritual realms. That is what this statue, as you just said, it's that likeness matching that vibration and people who come over on the boat or plane or whatever, when they see the Statue of Liberty, many, many immigrants have said how it’s just like they're coming home.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right, and we can only imagine how many little replicas of the Statue of Liberty have been sold and distributed all across the planet from people who have visited here and take it home as a memento and a souvenir.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yeah, it carries a definite vibration. If you've ever visited it, it's magnificent.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Well, Saint Germain also told us that the idea of paying a price for liberty requires eternal vigilance. So that's a phrase that we could ponder for quite some time. What does it really mean?

But it does mean that it is one of the prices of liberty to have a nation that is free and therefore having a strong and a grateful sense of love for your own country, not only your native land, but also for any adopted nation if you're a new citizen and a fervently determined desire to have them well governed as well as protected at all times should not be considered as belonging only to a few who are able to dedicate all of their time and energies to this project. It's for all of us. We have to value it, we have to treasure it, we have to understand what it really means.

The Masters have taught us that they would also like to expand in the consciousness of those that are in America, in the United States and in the world, an awareness of the oneness of life upon the entire planet that we could actually be able to create in America a future that holds a holy family concept and draw all mankind together and set before the people of this planet what Saint Germain refers to as a cup of light in the heart of America.

So once again, we see this idea of building and holding and living a holy family concept as an example to the entire planet.

Host Nancy Showalter

That's another thing that's being attacked in our society.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Yeah, there's tremendous opposition to this whole idea and what an attack on the family in all the forms that we see it in the news now, and all more in favor of a more selfish, adopting a more selfish nature about how the world's supposed to be providing for us as individuals instead of what we are contributing to building a world that God would have.

Host Nancy Showalter

With all of this, someone might ask, “If America was sponsored by the ascended Masters and it was conceived in liberty and justice for all, how did we get where we are now? What happened and who's responsible?”

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Well, that is the question of the hour of course, because we see now how people know that there's something not right, but they don't have all the insight into what is the right way to fix it.

We're all busy dealing with our own life and our own karma and all of the things that are set before us in daily living that it's really like a question that keeps putting off to the back burner somehow. We don't really concentrate on it to see what might be the solutions that are right here with us right now that we can use that would be a right way to fix it.

Host Nancy Showalter

I think we can find answers in our history and the biblical scriptures as well as what the Masters have revealed to us. Just going back in a simple look at the world when Jesus incarnated in the Middle East 2000 years ago.

I think sometimes we have a distorted view of the totality of Jesus' mission. He himself said, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I'm come not to send peace but a sword.” I mean, that can't be any more direct.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

That's right.

Host Nancy Showalter

He came for the judgment of the fallen ones, those of darkness, and he said that many times as he is going through his ministry. Yes, he preached love and gave us the two greatest commandments to love God with your whole heart, mind, and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.

He demonstrated what he meant by that, by healing the sick, helping the poor, not condemning the sinner and then going through the crucifixion, resurrection, transfiguration, and ascension.

He actually demonstrated for us the very initiations we must also go through, not necessarily in the physical sense like he did. We don't have to be crucified on a cross, but spiritually we must go through them in whatever way the law deems and unfolds in our life.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

I think this is one of the most important things that we can gain from our study of the teachings is that all of those things that came from the great teachers, the steps they went through, the troubles they experienced, the victories they had, all of those were meant to be a roadmap

Host Nancy Showalter

That was the whole meaning of Jesus' life.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

It was meant to be a roadmap for us and for all those who will follow us.

So, Jesus, I mean, he also recognized that this planet was not being ruled by forces of light and that's what he came to expose. He came in knowing that he was going to be standing up against great opposition and opposition that of course would attempt to take him out of life, to have him leave life. What it gave him was the opportunity to demonstrate to us the life beyond.

So, when Jesus was among the people and teaching, at one point he prayed to his Father asking the Father to glorify the Father's name, meaning the Father's name. A voice came out of heaven saying that he had glorified it and he will glorify it again. The people heard this voice and then Jesus explained to them that the voice came for their sakes and not his.

So, he could demonstrate that God was listening, God was observing, that Father God was with us and He knows what we're about and He knows what we're doing and that we can't hide it from Him no matter what we think. We can't hide it.

His next statement of course to the people was, “Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”

Host Nancy Showalter

He recognized the prince of this world, meaning the powers that control this planet and that is what he came to expose.

We also read in the book of Ephesians, “Where we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

It's like the apostles knew this, they were taught by Jesus. Not everything Jesus said is recorded in the scriptures.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right.

Host Nancy Showalter

I mean, you remember the apostles were saying it would take volumes and volumes and volumes to all of Jesus' teachings.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Some of those scripture that was written, of course, was written even some years after the lifetime of Jesus.

Host Nancy Showalter

Well, and then there's the books of the Bible that were eliminated once the Roman government got ahold of it and decided to embrace the church of Christianity, followers of Christ.

But basically, Jesus wasn't, he was not only aware of the darkness on earth, but he actually came for its judgment.  

We have to think of those times in those days. I see people today, and it seems like some people think that inequality, slavery, caste systems and the like all started with the conception of America. Of course, that's not so.

Now this episode is not a history lesson but think of what Paul wrote to the Galatians. Once Jesus came with his message, Paul described all of this inequality changing, this is what Jesus brought. Paul wrote, “Wherefore the law was our school Master to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith.”

In other words, the law, all this strict Jewish law and all these different strict things, that was the school Master to bring us onto Christ. “But after that, faith has come. We are no longer under a school Master for ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as you have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither bond nor free. There is neither male nor female for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

We need to think about, think about—women had no status. They were property of their husbands.  Children were property of their husbands. There was slavery, there was all of this inequality. That's been going on, not just in the time of Jesus, but a long time.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Yeah. It's the history of our world as we know it. So, these are the instructions that Jesus brought to the disciples and to the followers, and he had to know that they wouldn't all accept them because it was so contrary to the actual lives that they were living and the circumstances of the lives that they were living.

So these kind of concepts have persisted for many, many hundreds of years now. That's why the incarnation of Jesus Christ and his mission, as the beginning of a Piscean Age, was so impactful because it was something that had to be new.

It was a renewal in some forms, but it was a brand new aspect in other ways to be looking at the lives you're living in, then be giving these teachings that seem so apparently contrary to it.

Yet knowing by your experience of being and walking with Jesus and with the Christ and with the teachings and with the disciples, that it was different somehow. Things were different now in forever.

Host Nancy Showalter

The disciples struggled with this. That's why Paul's writing what he wrote, and there were conflicts. They're human beings at a certain level of consciousness at that moment in a society that they had to fit into. That's how they were taught and that's how it was.

So you see where they really had to struggle about this oneness with each other, love your neighbor as yourself, seeing everyone as equal. It was very challenging. You can study the history of it.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Here we are at the end of so-called Piscean Age when that judgment that Jesus prophesied does come to fulfillment, to full fulfillment. We can see it now. We're in the same boat as those disciples of not wanting to accept certain things or certain changes that have to be made. It's contrary to what we have lived and what's the history behind us and behind our parents and all others.

But that's also the very reason why America is a great and grand experiment in freedom. If we really get freedom, what will we do with it? What does it mean to us to have this grand experiment in freedom?

But the Masters, there was no foretelling that it was going to succeed. So they were putting their energy and their light and all that they could, their instruction behind our being able to succeed in the carrying out of this great and grand experiment in freedom.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, and I mean even our founders recognized this. They said, “We've created a Republic.”  I mean, they took a long time to come up with our form of government so that it could be of the people, by the people for the people instead of the hierarchical structures of the past or dictators of the past or whatever.

So it behooves us to really understand and look at Jesus’ life and others. He advocated this whole new law of the two great commandments and this equality. He was revolutionary.

The thing here is though, you notice he didn't take up arms against the Roman empire, even though they're going to try to murder him. The many wanted him to, they wanted him to lead them in battle to overturn what they considered a very corrupt government and be the leader of the Israelites and that area. “No”, he said, “that's not my mission.”

He came to show us that really the revolution in this day and age is a revolution in higher consciousness. Until we accelerate to this higher consciousness, until we become in alignment with our own God's self within us, which is God's will, and until we manifest that in our society, we are not in alignment. It's not going to happen by just constantly, ‘overthrow a leader.’

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

No, and it's also not going to happen by thinking someone else will do it. We are the players on the stage in this day, in this hour and in this time. It really is up to us. In many ways we will have to be revolutionaries to our own way of doing things. We'll have to change our ways that we don't want to. So, we become the revolutionaries in our own world.

Host Nancy Showalter

Right, exactly. Jesus recognized these dark forces. He recognized that they were in control of the planet, basically. He said, “The prince of this world cometh, but he has nothing in me.”

That is a great clue to us. What did he mean by that?

What he meant was he had purified, he was pure. He didn't have any anger, any resentments, any fears, any...He knew who he was. He's the living Christ, the son of God, and he came to manifest that to us.

So the force of darkness has nothing in you when you have purged yourself of these lower vibrations and are truly at the level of the Christ consciousness, or the higher mental body, or Buddhic consciousness, whatever you want to call it.

This is what Jesus demonstrated for us. So that's a clue because these forces have worked their way into all aspects of the planet, including America.  I mean, I think we can see that.

We examine all of this and have to ask, “How do these negative forces come to be on this planet? How did this happen? Do we know anything about our cosmic history?”

Well, fortunately the answer is ‘yes.’

The Masters, as well as a lot of researchers and scientists, have revealed a lot that is not necessarily abundantly clear in the scriptures of the world.  I mean, they may be referenced—are things we don't pay attention to, we don't give enough attention or understanding to.

In the first episodes of this podcast, I talked extensively about this with the researcher Mark Myers.

He will join Alberta and me next week as we go deeper into this subject and see how it's impacting us right now and what shift of consciousness is needed and what tools we can employ to make an impact.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

I'm looking forward to it.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yeah, I am too. It's an exciting episode coming up next week. So, everybody, Don’t miss it!

We'll see you next week. Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Host Nancy Showalter

Hello everybody and welcome to our episode today. Last week we talked about the ‘I AM Race’ and we introduced this concept of America having a specific calling.

So, our question today, as one nation among many nations, does America have a special role that is spiritual in nature? What is the relationship of that role with the role that each nation has on the planet?

There's quite a lot of evidence that this may be true, and it comes from a variety of sources, not only prophecy, but also the stated beliefs of our nation's founders, from church records, teachings from the ascended masters, and modern day visionaries who still receive messages from the blessed Mother Mary who is an acknowledged patronist of the United States and even of all of the Americas.

We have Alberta f Fredrickson with us again today. Welcome, Alberta. Great to have you back.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Thanks Nancy, and I'm happy to be back with you again as well.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, we had quite a discussion last week and I think this will be exciting also for our listeners.   

Alberta, why don't we just start to give just a very brief explanation of the ‘I AM Race’ just to bring our listeners into the conversation and they know what we're talking about.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Sure. The I AM Race is composed of individuals, people who we refer to as light- bearers and they come from every nation, every race and every religion. They're not confined to any one race. In fact, that word ‘America’ is composed of the same seven letters that also spell ‘I AM Race.’

So, the I AM Race really refers to the children of Israel, the sons and daughters of God who have appeared again and again throughout the ages.

Host Nancy Showalter

Okay, great. Alberta, there really seems to be a major movement of highlighting everything that's wrong with America and even elements now publicly stating that there trained Marxist that intend to tear down the system rather than to improve or fix areas that need to be fixed, but radically changing our form of government. I'd like to begin with the founding of the nation and in addition to what history tells us and what the ascended masters tell us.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

That's a great starting place and it really does change everything, I think, once you have an understanding of what they were attempting to do. 

The Declaration of Independence was really our declaration, meaning America's declaration of independence from the British Empire. It was, in a manner of speaking, our charter of rights, and yet it was an establishment of the rights of all mankind, not just those colonists in America.

From then to now, we're still striving to maintain that principle and stand for it around the earth. Our founding fathers and mothers, taking them at their own written word, accepted that these rights were God-given, that there was a certain divine providence presiding over the affairs of men. In fact, that's what many called God—they called it or He, Divine Providence.

These were essential liberties, liberties that would set the blueprint for a nation where individuals could be free men, independent, self-responsible and self-accountable.

Host Nancy Showalter

I think that's a really key thing that you're bringing up, Alberta. This is something that is very different from other nations and was, as we said, even last week and this week, it is a ‘grand experiment.’ The ascended masters were involved in this sponsorship to see if this could work

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right. And the very fact that they would even be willing to sponsor a government that would truly be one that was recognized by men as ‘God over men,’ meaning that we placed the divinity, our God, over the management and the governing of our interactions with one another, the interactions of men.

So, it was a pretty lofty goal and not one that the people of the day could really fulfill in that moment. But it was a laying out of a way of life where we could strive to be accountable enough, accountable enough to forge and become our personal individualized version of a son of God, a daughter of God, a Christ walking the earth in those days of our earliest beginnings, as well as today.

That was patterned after the life of Jesus Christ.  So, as we go on, we'll see how that role that we were free enough to choose, and did choose to the best of our ability, actually became a certain responsibility to be a Christ-like nation as a model to other nations.

Host Nancy Showalter

Right. and you have to wonder, is this why so many people feel that America was founded on Christian principles or even as a Christian nation, although the intent was not to have a state religion? Of course that's exactly what they were getting away from. But basically, our founders were Christians, and they did have Christian principles, which are not limited to Christianity by any means.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Absolutely right. Those are my thoughts as to why so many do feel that America was founded as a Christian nation. Many of those settlers came to this country to escape religious persecution and to forge a new way, maybe a way of spiritual liberty where men could choose according to their own conscience.

So even though many of the founders supported the concept of Christianity and God's ways for presiding over men and granting them these rights, they also embraced tolerance through having the freedom to choose. Men could choose according to their own conscience, and that meant they could choose not to believe in God or not to participate in religions, Christian or otherwise.

But I think there is a connection in that word ‘government’ implying the concept of God over men.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, and that's unique also.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right.

Host Nancy Showalter

Well, there was much communication at that early time via letters because of course they didn't have the Internet and other written works that we fortunately have still with us that reveal what their thinking and intents were.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Exactly. Those who were leaders in the founding of the United States of America were really very prolific in their letter writing to one another and then later in published works and in their speaking, even though it is sometimes difficult to imagine how they had time to write so much.

 I mean, they each still had to earn their livings on their farms or in shops or as clergymen. They had to raise families and many of them had to educate those families themselves and still pay attention to this inner drive that they had for freedom—freedom from religious persecution, from the former lands in Europe, freedom from an oppressive monarchy and the freedom of spirit to actually choose how they would govern and be governed.

So according to their own written words, their lives were filled with their study and acknowledgement of spiritual matters, and they wove it into their daily lives, both public and private, and they also preserved it in writing for us today.

May I share a couple of their stories with you and with your listeners?

Host Nancy Showalter

Sure. Go right ahead.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Well, one founder in Patriot was John Jay. He was president of the continental Congress during the revolution and was one of the three founding fathers who drafted and signed the Peace Treaty with Great Britain to establish America as an independent nation.

After the US Constitution was written, Jay helped write the Federalist papers and is considered one of the three men most responsible for the adoption of the Constitution. When George Washington became the first president, Jay served as his Secretary of State and then was appointed as the original Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. So, these were the guys who were right there at the very beginning of establishing this model for governance.

Chief Justice John Jay believed that Christian principles should be included in civil arenas. So, he said and wrote rather forcefully that “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty, the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” A very strong statement.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, indeed. It is a very strong statement, one that probably wouldn't be too popular today, but it does reflect exactly how much Divine Providence—God—was within the founding of this nation and in the minds and hearts of the people that founded it.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

So, our first president, George Washington, also encouraged the inclusion of religious principles throughout the public's business. In his famous farewell address when he announced that he would retire from public office at the end of his second term, he offered some pretty candid advice on what it would take to keep America strong.

We know that some wanted Washington to remain in office and to become king, and he refused all of that in favor of the republic that the founders had struggled to agree upon.

So, for generations afterwards, Washington's farewell address has been considered so important and its content so profound that it was published as a separate standalone school textbook. Students were taught that this address was the most significant political speech ever delivered to the nation, and they were tested on its content.

Regrettably, Washington's farewell address has now largely disappeared from current textbooks apparently because it has too much religious content for today's trending secular outlooks.

Host Nancy Showalter

That is so unfortunate because again, we see our history being just sort of wiped away in one hand, wiped away, and another hand all the negatives being put forth.

So, Alberta, can you give us a summary of what Washington said in his farewell address, just briefly?

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Well, Washington specifically identified religion and morality as the two most important elements of the American political system, and he even warned that anyone who attempted to separate those two elements from the political system could not be considered an American patriot—religion and morality. Just think about that today.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yeah, well those are strong words too.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

I mean, indeed, if America's system of government was deliberately and intentionally built upon religion and morality by these founders, then it's important to note how successful it has been even though America is by no means perfect by those standards.

The fact is America is now the world's longest ongoing constitutional republic on the planet, and to exist more than two centuries under the same governing document is an accomplishment unknown among contemporary nations.

For example, during the same time that America has had just one government, France has had 15, and in just the 20th century alone, Russia has had four, Afghanistan, five, and in Poland seven.

Host Nancy Showalter

Great facts to know and appreciate, and I know a lot of people do not know those facts.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

We must also know and appreciate that the historical founders at that time were all men. So, there were many battles and changes yet to be made in our history.

The founders did confirm many times that it was God's word that also provided the basis for what our termed inalienable rights, meaning rights bestowed by God upon every individual regardless of race, gender, or social station.

Host Nancy Showalter

Now that you mentioned that, I mean we can see through our history how we have strived to reach those goals. I mean, these were lofty goals, as you said,

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right, and ones that were clearly apparently not attainable immediately.

Host Nancy Showalter

Right, of course.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Among man’s inalienable rights were those listed as life, liberty, property, religious freedom, self-protection, due process, sanctity of the home, as well as others that are listed throughout the Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights.

Now, this is an interesting thing because the founders did not agree on the issue of slavery even then this definition of inalienable rights. So, from the very beginning, they began to compromise. There never would've a United States of America without a declaration of Independence, and that declaration would not have been agreed upon unless the Southern representatives had some assurance that slavery would not be prohibited. So, the net result is that 100 years later we had to fight a civil war to decide that issue.

Host Nancy Showalter

Don’t we see that dynamic playing out today in our government? One party wants to address the specific need in the country and the other party has their opposing demands, some of which have no relationship to the issue at hand, but it's their opportunity to get greater parts of their agenda fulfilled even though it may not be fully in alignment with the Constitution.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right.

Host Nancy Showalter

So, by needing both parties’ agreement, when government is divided legislatively, things get put into law or monies allocated for things that are not in alignment with the founding principles, and considering the issues we're facing today, it'd really be wise for all of us to take a closer look at our history and recognize which party was on which side of the issue back then.

That's another discussion of course, but it's always been amazing to me that anyone in a nation being founded on freedom, individual freedom, granted by their creator could justify slavery of other fellow human beings. But understanding some of those dynamics of how our government works where one side can hold the other side hostage, we can see some of the clear choices we have when we choose our leadership.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right, and our founding documents do directly acknowledge two things. One was that God gave these rights to men and subsequently to women, and number two, that it is the purpose of government to protect these rights.

They thought that this was so important to the maintaining of a republic form of government because many of them also believed that to not do so would invite God's anger or his wrath to be upon them.

Thomas Jefferson actually wrote, “Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God, that they are not to be violated, but with his wrath. Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that his justice cannot sleep forever.”

 So here we have Jefferson saying that if we violate God's laws, then God can't be on our side in defense of that behavior and that there would be consequences. Today we would call this our karma.

This quote is actually carved inside of the Jefferson Memorial, and there are actually five carved quotes inside that memorial, and four of them speak of God's involvement.

I think this is just amazing when people say that we're supposed to leave God out of our government now, and here are our founding fathers carving into marble monuments these words, and that four of these five quotes speak of God's involvement in the ongoing nature of this nation.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, absolutely. The founding of this Republic on these principles, the ascended masters at least have called this a grand experiment in freedom, because we can see in our country with freedom, you have the freedom to burn the flag. You have the freedom to say whatever negative about the government, about anybody else. You just can't hurt anyone or threaten. 

But it's freedom. It is a two-edged sword. It's a two-edged sword because it's relying on the individual to maintain that morality within themselves. And Jefferson says, I think it's very interesting that he points out that the United States, the country will not be protected when we veer too far out of God's laws and violate God's laws.

When I was studying a political history course and traced the forms of government in Europe until the founding of the United States, I was really impressed with this fact.

I could see from all the monarchies and dictatorships, all the different things that went through the Western civilization. There had never been a government like this before, and it allowed so much freedom for the individual that as we said, it was uncertain that could even work.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right, and this grand experiment in freedom was challenged from the moment it was decided. Following that constitutional convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked by a citizen what they had given us, and he said, “a republic if you can keep it.”

So this was a fair warning. They knew what they were doing when they made this a Republican form of government, not a republican, as opposed to the democratic parties as we think of them today.  But a republic is a much more difficult form of government to maintain than a democracy is because a republic requires a more educated effort from the voters.

Host Nancy Showalter

Well, and not only that, but the founding fathers really didn't want a pure democracy. They considered that to be almost mob rule, or it could turn into mob rule, and we see evidence of that possibility with what's happening in our cities today.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Yes, yes.

Host Nancy Showalter

The ascended masters have also taught about this spiritual founding of America, but there are others who seem to confirm what the founders said about this spiritual sponsorship, or this responsibility that America carries.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Yes, and I love to read the teachings and the sermons of Dr. Peter Marshall, who was an immigrant to America from Scotland in 1927, and he definitely echoes the words of our founders, and he did it right in the midst of our federal seat of government.

He only lived to be 46 years old, and yet he preached to the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington DC and he actually became the chaplain of the United States Senate.

One of his wartime sermons that was my favorite was titled, “Our Covenant Nation,” and he delivered this sermon on Armistice Day in 1947. This is part of what he said, “A covenant nation is one that recognizes its dependence upon God and its responsibility towards God. This nation, meaning America, was so born, God was recognized as the source of human rights. The Declaration of Independence says so.  A covenant nation is one which recognizes God and his purposes stand about a nation and the nation's interest, and that the highest role a nation can play is to reflect God's righteousness in a national policy. Ours therefore is a covenant nation, covenanted with God in the beginning.”

He went on to say, “This country was founded in religious faith. It had different expressions to be sure—Quakers, Puritans, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Methodists, and Baptists, Lutherans and Catholics of French, Spanish, and Irish stock—all contributed to the molding of that faith and its free expression in this land where men were at liberty to worship God according to the dictates of their consciences. These all believed in the equality of the individual before God, and that every soul was equally precious in God's sight.”

It should be noted too, that in their time they founded schools throughout the land that were all rooted in religion. Harvard and Yale were founded by Congregationalists, the universities of Columbia and Pennsylvania founded by Episcopalians. Princeton's was founded by Presbyterians, Duke and Northwestern by the Methodists, the University of Chicago by Baptists, Fordham and Notre Dame by Roman Catholics.

Host Nancy Showalter

Boy, you wouldn't recognize that today, would you?

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

No, you wouldn't, but you can see that that was how they were founded and how they were intended.

Dr. Peter Marshall also quotes President George Washington in his first inaugural address, and this is what George Washington said, “And was it not so because in the beginning, this nation was established for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith under just and equal laws with the right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience in religious liberty that all should have an equal chance to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to provide a model for the world and to lead men into a better life.”

So here is the first president in his first inaugural address declaring America as a model to the world, this grand experiment in freedom. Washington also said, “Apart from faith in God, the history of America has no meaning.”

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, and that's a very strong statement also. But what we're tapping into here is a broader perspective of what this nation is—not just another nation on the planet trying to do its thing and struggling along—but this is why people want to come to this nation. Everybody's trying to get here because of what these principles are. It's very obvious that there is this calling that this was founded, and the founders actually understood it and they clearly articulated it.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

…and they were willing to lay their lives on the line to make it happen.

Host Nancy Showalter

Exactly.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Marshall also speaks of this idea that the greatest spiritual task confronting us, meaning America, is the need to interpret for our time, the meaning of the motto inscribed on each metal coin, on each coin it says, “In God we trust,” and to apply that interpretation to our national and international policies.  So, we can see that these really are keys to God-government.

Dr. Peter Marshall's son, who was also named Peter Marshall, wrote a book with a co-author David Manuel, and this book was called, The Light and the Glory, and it's all about America's spiritual beginnings and God's plan for America.

They actually asked the question, and I'm quoting here, “Did God have a plan for America?

Many have discovered the reality of the living Christ and pursued the belief that God has a plan for each individual's life, a plan that could with spiritual effort be discerned and followed. But what if he dealt with whole nations in the same way? They concluded that the Bible said he did.

Now that's their conclusion, and the authors go on from there to share some research on Christopher Columbus. They ask the question, “What if Columbus's discovery wasn't an accident, not accidental at all? What if it was merely the opening curtain of an extraordinary drama? Haven't the first settlers described themselves as having been called by God to found a new nation based on the centrality of the Christian faith and God's word?”

Interesting question.

Host Nancy Showalter

Absolutely, yes.  We know—because we know from the ascended masters, their teachings—that Saint Germain was previously embodied as Christopher Columbus, and that every individual soul's dharma, or ultimate mission, develops over many embodiments that he or she has lived.

It's really interesting to see that even in that lifetime, Columbus felt he had been given his life's mission directly by God and that he felt called to bear the light of Christ, of Jesus Christ, to undiscovered lands and fulfillment of prophetic passages in the Bible, and that he knew he'd been guided by the Holy Spirit the whole way.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Right. I think these two researchers, Peter Marshall Jr., and David Manuel, they discovered the diaries and everything of Christopher Columbus, and so they were able to see some of his words, and Columbus himself actually wrote, “It was the Lord who put it into my mind. I could feel his hand upon me. The fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies, all who heard of my project, rejected it with laughter ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because he comforted me with rays of marvelous inspiration from the Holy Scriptures for the execution of the journey to the Indies. I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics, or maps. It is simply the fulfillment of what Isaiah had prophesied.”

So here he is writing in his diary on this long, long, long adventure that he was with his crew and the ships.

Even then he was knowing in his own soul and his own being that he was being led. He was being led by Spirit to do what he was doing, even though some of the decisions may have looked like mistakes.

But then Columbus gave us all some wonderful advice. He said to all of us, and this would be true today for us, “No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior. If it is just, and if the intention is purely for His holy service, the working out of all things has been assigned to each person by our Lord, but it all happens according to his sovereign will, even though He gives advice. Oh, what a gracious Lord, who desires that people should perform for him, those things for which he holds himself responsible day and night, moment by moment, everyone should express their most devoted gratitude to him.”

That's what Christopher Columbus wrote in his diaries at that time.

Host Nancy Showalter

Yes, and these are so important things. These are right in his own words. And when people malign his image today and the man that he was, they really need to see this side of Christopher Columbus to understand that he was acting in a human world by divine inspiration. This human world is not perfect. There's no such thing anyway in this dimension is perfect. We have to rise in our consciousness to even begin to reach the perfection that's within us.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Well, I think as students of the ascended masters, we know now that Saint Germain was Christopher Columbus in a previous lifetime, and that he is now the prophet for the New Age, and now we are the ‘New Age discoverers’ as Columbus was the new world discoverer.

So the new World order of the ages that we are engaged in now is really the result of what some have called the revolution of higher consciousness, where a greater percentage of men and women can walk and talk with the angels, with the masters, and with cosmic beings, and it's a part of their daily existence, their daily life to carry on this holy communion.

Host Nancy Showalter

That's where we're headed with a golden age.

Well, we've covered a lot of material and we could of course go on and on. We will, we'll continue this next week.

We know that many of the founding fathers have since made their ascension and are now ascended masters. This is what I'd like to talk about next week. I want to give a much higher, broader perspective so that people understand we are all here evolving on planet Earth, doing the best we can and going forward.

Unfortunately, some people today insist on focusing only on the faults of our forefathers, forgetting that, like I said, there's no perfect human being.

We all have our faults, weaknesses, prejudices, indoctrinations, et cetera. We're striving to overcome these things while at the same time doing good things in accordance with divine will. So, we have a lot to talk about yet on this subject.

So, Alberta, thank you again for being with us. It's just been a pleasure, and I hope our listeners are as enthralled with this subject as we are.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen

Thanks for the invitation.

Host Nancy Showalter

You are welcome, and we'll be back next week.  Until keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Host:  Nancy Showalter

Hello everybody and welcome to today's episode where we're going to talk about some challenging times that we're facing both in the United States but also around the world. I want to give a broader perspective, a spiritual perspective, on some of the issues that we're facing in America from the perspective of the ascended masters.

My special guest today is Alberta Fredrickson, who's the author of one CD and four books.  Her passion is helping others, and I love the way she describes her life's work. She says it combines many years of professional experience and a spirituality that honors and looks beyond the outer crust into the precious spirit of every person.

That is so beautiful, and Alberta's training, she has an incredible amount of training in human resource administrator, educator, public school side administrator, negotiator for labor and management. She's also a coach and a trainer, consultant and a mediator, and I'd say her specialty is conflict management.

Now this is all in addition to her many years of studying and applying the teachings of the ascended masters. So, I'm so happy to have you here. Alberta. Welcome.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Thank you so much Nancy. It's a delight to be with you today.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Before we start Alberta, I want to do just a little bit of a summary for people to talk about who the ascended masters are. I'm only going to give a very brief thing. Basically, there are people like you and me who have reincarnated on this planet, and they have mastered time and space, balanced 51% of the karma and other things that are required and they have reunited permanently with God within, the I AM Presence.

So, these things come forward from masters who are in the spiritual realm, again, who've mastered time and space and who are reaching back to help us here on this planet.

So, before we get into the issues though, I do want to review, I just finished a series on the seven major chakras and this correlates to the seven major rays. The rays are frequency of energy that vibrate at certain qualities of the Godhead. And those seven ray color frequencies are:  the throat chakra, which is blue frequency energy representing power; the crown, the yellow representing wisdom; the heart pink representing love, and that is the focus of the threefold flame within our hearts.

Then we have the base of the spine, which is white light and the purity. Third eye green is healing solar plexus, purple and gold service and seed of the soul violet freedom.

So, I bring this up because what we're going to talk about today are some of the huge issues we have going on in our country regarding race.  I want to, once again, talk about race from the spiritual perspectives that the ascended masters teach, which I think you'll find a very interesting perspective.  Alberta's here to help share with this perspective because some of her writings include it. It's a great topic.

Alberta, the Masters talk about the ‘I AM Race’ and not everybody's familiar with that concept. So maybe you could elaborate a little bit and tell people, What is the ‘I AM Race’?

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Thank you, Nancy. It is one of those things whenever you speak those words and the word race gets mentioned, it seems to trigger in all of us what our past experiences have been, not only in this life but encompassing the doctrine of reincarnation and re-embodiment, that we have all probably been all of these different races that we identify today at some time or other in our past soul history.  

So, it's important that we understand and have compassion for one another that whatever we are doing in this particular lifetime, it's an assignment. We are learning things and we're overcoming things and transmuting things so that we can have the victory of the ascension, which is what the Lord Jesus Christ came to demonstrate for us. He gave us a pathway and it's a pathway that we can follow step by step, but we will have to go through the initiations and the things that he went through as well.  So, I'm grateful that we're talking about this topic of the I AM Race.

Most people would instantly just ask, “Well what is the I AM Race?” “How is that different from other races?” So, I think it's important to know that the I AM Race are really individuals that we tend to call, that the masters call, Lightbearers.

In other words, they're bearing light to the earth and they're going through a series of tests and initiations to demonstrate that light with the ultimate goal being that we too can win the ascension as the Lord Jesus Christ did because he is the way shower for this path.

So the I AM Race then are Lightbearers, people of light from every nation and every race. They also tend to be called Americans because in the metaphysical sense, the word America is composed of the seven letters that also spell “I AM Race.” 

So, rearranging the letters of this word, “I AM Race” spells America. This is not to put down those of you who may be residing in other nations or born in other nations. It is to simply show that there is a plan for each nation as well.

America's plan has to do with this demonstration of freedom that the masters brought, and they brought it through this avenue of this nation where they're attempting to bring it through. It certainly is not a fate accompli just yet, and the nations, each and every one of our nations are experiencing the things that they have to go through because nations themselves also have to follow this spiritual path.

Host Nancy Showalter:

They also have karma just like individuals do. We have national karma, we have racial karma, individual karma—meaning, what we put forth once again with our free will, what we create individually and collectively is definitely a progression for everyone on the planet.

We find that, and I want to talk more about the United States next week, how the United States of America and how it's founding and purpose fits into the ascended master's plan.  Again, ascended masters, they have reunited with their I AM Presence. They are beyond the physical realm. They're in a very high dimension.  

Keep in mind that science is discovered two trillion galaxies in our universe—two  trillion.  You can imagine, that's our Milky Way, and then there's Andromeda, our neighbor, that's even bigger. So, God's great universe that we dwell in is full of beings at all different spiritual realms from the physical on up to the very highest where…

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

It's not just confined to the people living on our block in our city, or the people in our place of work. Enormity is a wonder, it's truly a wonder to contemplate.

Host Nancy Showalter:

It is, and that's just our universe that we're talking about—two trillion galaxies. There are other universes.

So, God's creation is magnificent and there are many planets going through their evolution, some that are in higher vibrations than us, others that are not. It's very interesting what we're all going through at this time. We know it's at the end of the Piscean Age and we are moving into the Aquarian Age, which is that age of freedom like you were talking about. Therefore, we are meeting a little bit of our personal, national, racial type karma.

So, Alberta, let's talk about what the Masters have said about race because I think this is extremely important to discuss and talk about because people are not necessarily looking at it from this broader perspective.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Right. Well, I think one of the things that is an easier way for us to kind of take in this grand story is to talk about the group of souls that were referred to in the Bible and in other places as the Twelve tribes. Of course, this was a coming together of souls who had been together in previous lifetimes and have been together since those times of the 12 tribes in lifetimes together now.

So beloved Saint Germain, who is an ascended master, who is a sponsor of this nation of America, has said that many years ago he called together men and women who had been in his service before and trying to uphold what he referred to as a cosmic honor flame in the heart of America.

Now remember that America was a fresh new nation. The nations of Europe and around the world had been well known for so many, many, many years and they have fought so many wars and they themselves, those nations had accumulated quite a lot of heavy karma.

But America was like a fresh new beginning, a turning of a new page, a new land, the new world as it was referred to by those who traveled to it.

So, when we speak of America throughout, it is this concept called the ‘I AM Race.’ Now those words, I AM Race are made up of the same letters of the alphabet as the word America. I think that's significant, and I think the masters thought it must have been significant too.

So originally I think when you ask about what is race, what the masters have taught is that in the truest sense of the word, there is no such thing as a black race or a white race or a yellow or a red race.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Let me add to that too, Alberta, because I totally agree.  I have talked with different people and in groups and such, you hold up a piece of white paper next to your face and you're not white, and you hold up a piece of black paper up to your face with a black person and you're not black, you're not yellow, you're not red, you're none of those colors. We are all part of the human race and it's just sort of this division that is happening right now that is quite serious actually.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Well, I think that one of the things that can help us with that is to understand that all of the races, no matter how we might identify them, have come forth from the heart of God based on these seven rays. You mentioned that you've already been instructing on these seven rays before, and the seven rays are colors which you outlined, and they're also paths of initiation.

So it might be that in one lifetime we come to embody on a certain color, a color ray and all the rays have certain sets of initiations and things that we go through. So, we may have fulfilled many rays in many embodiments, we may have come multiple times on the same ray of service.

So, the so-called white race, came forth from mastery for gaining mastery on these seven rays and the white race comes forth for the mastery of the yellow, the pink, and the white rays or flames. Hence there are lots of mixtures and tone qualities of their skin. Like you say, if you hold up a white paper next to me, it's not going to make me feel like I'm white.

These evolutions of course of people were intended to place upon the altar of God, the gift of the gaining of self-mastery on that particular ray in that particular lifetime. So, people who come forth in a white, what is called a white race skin tone these days, are trying to develop self-mastery in the ways of wisdom and love and purity. These are the qualities of the seven rays which you probably have already covered.

The members of the black race, of what is called the black race, have come forth on the blue and the violet ray. In the ancient civilizations on the continent of Africa, their skin may actually have had a blue or a violet hue.

So, these colors are related to the rays and the levels of service and to the concept of Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.

In other words, through going through all of these different rays, different races or whatever, we are beginning to develop the wholeness of the beginning and the ending, the wholeness of Alpha and Omega.

So, we can see for instance that people of the so-called yellow race and the tradition of the ancient wisdom of China and of the orient, the people of the land of Chin, they're on this yellow ray of wisdom. Undoubtedly we also have had an embodiment or more upon that ray. So, we've been there.

So individual nations, not just people but also nations do have their karma, but they also have their calling, their mission referred to often as dharma. So, we find that down through the centuries, mankind has really kind of wandered away from the highest state God intended for us since our departure from Eden.

So, these pure colors of the rainbow of God are no longer reflected either in our skin tones or in our auras and a lot of division has set in, and that's an understatement given today's news. All you have to do is listen to the news to see how divided we are.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Here's the irony of it all. We have probably been embodied in every race. We've been rich, we've been poor. We've been men and we've been women. We've been in all of these different embodiments. The very people that are supposedly in one race, say the black race, they could have been the people who were embodied in the white race previous and vice versa. So, this is the irony and the whole lie that can be perpetuated that we are divided by race.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

So, this division has set in and it's a pretty stubborn thing. These divide and conquer tactics of souls that we might identify as fallen ones from ancient days or whatever, instead of the races embracing one another as brother and sister, there is this division. If one race enslaves another race, then the great unity of all children of God and their oneness as children of God is destroyed.

So, we have to ask this question again. Who or what is the I AM Race?

One way that the masters have given us to understand it is that it is an evolution of people called Lightbearers because they still bear light to the earth who have not lost the memory of their God consciousness.

So though some of these, meaning some of us, have gone astray on our path of initiation, all of us have retained some level of inner memory of the individualization of the Godhead that identified, was identified to Moses as Jehovah, the God of Israel.

So that's one of the bodies of people that many of us already know about the people that Moses led out of Egypt to freedom—out of bondage to freedom. So, this whole concept is one of moving toward the freedom of the soul, the freedom of the individual and therefore I think this is a main reason why America was selected as a garden, if you will, for this grand experiment to take place because it was a fresh newer nation.

Yes, there were people who already inhabited this land before the pilgrims or whatever found it, but it was still a new nation where we didn't have hundreds and hundreds of years of warfare and all of these things going on. So, it was a fresh beginning.

Host Nancy Showalter:

The masters do say that America is a grand experiment. I know when I was studying some of the history of the governments on the planet, it really came home to me how America truly is an experiment going from the hierarchy of kings and queens and all the different kinds of examples of government we've had that truly having a government of the people by the people and based on freedom is a grand experiment.

Even our founders said we have a republic if we can keep it. It's a very challenging time right now. We know that we are at the end of this Piscean cycle where all of karma does come forth and we do have this opposition battle between light and darkness. It's been prophesied in the Bible, has been prophesied by many different people and spiritual people that are prophesying such a thing.

So, we can't ignore it. We must come to a realization that if we take a step higher in our consciousness and we understand a broader perspective, then it's not race against race or gender against gender and all of this nonsense of being separated.

We must remember that it is in the I AM Presence, it is in that part of us that was created in the image and likeness of God, where we are truly one, and that part of us in spirit is there. We're connected, we've always been connected. The awakening to that connection is so very important. I've talked about this a lot in previous episodes that you can go back and see.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Well, it certainly is a matter of there is an emphasis today on division and how things are separate and how they are different instead of this emphasis on unison, on our coming together and of our commonalities as the human race.

I know that Saint Germain, who is a sponsor to America, has said that the intent for the masters is to expand in our consciousness, those who are presently embodied here on planet earth now, to expand in our consciousness that those who are assembled in this entire community of the United States and of the world—the earth—an awareness of the oneness of our life upon this planet that we would be able to actually create in a new nation.

In this sense it was America, the future of what he referred to as a holy family concept that would in fact draw all of us, draw all mankind together. Therefore, he set before us, he and other ascended masters who sponsored with their light, they set before us a cup of light in this nation to be able to bring forth this concept in a country that was as yet untroubled by all of the karmic records of perpetual warfare that so many other nations were bearing.

So that is a part of our Saint Germain as a sponsor for us in moving forward with this grand experiment in freedom.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Saint Germain, as I've mentioned in previous episodes, he is the one who introduced to the outer consciousness of us evolving on earth the concept of the violet flame and how that frequency is the freedom flame and it transmutes energies, meaning memories, karmic records, whatever. So, the invocation of the violet flame of freedom is very critical to our time, our cycle, that we're going through right now.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

It is, and it's so important for us to recognize the spiritual aspects of all of these things, the spiritual aspects of the nations that we live in and what may have been intended for them. And are we the people that God has sent because of our previous experiences in lifetime's past may have what it takes to help pull this unity that is needed on upon the entire planetary body together.

So, it's an amazing thing if you think about the computers of the mind of God to keep all of this straight and to be able to bring forth the people who might have solutions for the present day and age.

So, when we ask this question, who or what is the ’I AM Race,’ well it's really an evolution of people's, lightbearers we will call them, who have not lost fully the memory of their God consciousness and of their training in previous embodiments.

So, some of these have gone astray under all the initiations that we've been put through, still we have a memory of it, and we can keep pulling back and retain some of that inner memory of the individualization of the Godhead.

This was identified to Moses who led that huge mass of people out of Egypt and the memory of the Godhead was identified to Moses as Jehovah, the God of Israel, the self-proclaimed, I AM WHO I AM. 

So, this is a phrase that is important to us. I AM WHO I AM,  I AM THAT I AM. And the words ‘I AM’ of course pull up the memory of the meaning ‘God in me is.’

So this is a phrase that we all use a lot in our lives. I am this, I am that, I'm the other thing. But if we have this little sense inside of ourselves, whenever we do say that phrase ‘I AM’ that we're really saying, “God in me is.”

Host Nancy Showalter:

Yes, that's important, so important,

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

How would that change how you speak and how you work? If you just use the thought whenever I'm saying “I AM,” and then whatever follows it, you're really saying “God in me” is that thing.

So, it's a simpler little way of having our own little personal reminder. You can just put those little two words up on your bathroom mirror on the refrigerator, just ‘I AM’ with a dash after it. “God in me is,” what? 

What do you want God in you to be on any given day or in any given relationship or in any given conversation. So it's a choice, it's a personal choice and it's just linked to those words ‘I AM,’ which means ‘God in me is.’ Then whatever you put to follow it is what you're declaring, what you're putting forth for your life. So, it's an important aspect to think about the I AM race, it's the ‘God in me is what race? What do we want this race to be--that is God-like?

Host Nancy Showalter:

Yes, it's a race of Light.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Yes.

Host Nancy Showalter:

That's anyone who espouses the Light and reaches to that level of consciousness and understanding, again as you said the I AM words, once, whatever you put after that, you're literally asking God in you to declare that into the physical dimension.

That's what's so important because on the path of spirituality, our heading back to God in that reunion permanently, so we don't incarnate anymore. We have choices to make, and one of the things that is sometimes hard for people to accept is we are responsible for our actions.

Everything we say, do, think—I mean it's in the scriptures—Jesus said it. It's also the law of cause and effect, what you reap, you sow, every action there's an opposite equal reaction.

So, it's very important to understand how we got to the situation that we're in and we just need to make the correct choices of the correct use of God's energy from our I AM Presence that flows to us continually. That's what keeps us alive.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Well, and that's why it's important for us to be humble about this because at some level we identify with the majesty of our God, and we know that God desires to raise us into the victory of our personal ascensions, and we have to see ourselves actually being able to do that. So, in one sense it does not matter what body we wear. Our body is like a uniform. We come to deal with certain souls that are a part of us, and we are a part of them. We've been together in other certain circumstances where we may have passed initiations together or we may have failed initiations.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Well, and that's so true, and just as a quick reminder again, Alberta outlined what the different races, which frequency of energy from God's qualities and frequency of energy are colors basically and manifest in colors. It's important to know that we all come out of the white light of purity of almighty God that is at the base of each color in these seven rays. And of course these are the seven basic rays, seven basic chakras. There are more colors, frequencies and such. But the violet fire, the violet flame is definitely an important component to what we're experiencing now.

So, I am going to post with this recording, also the recording on the mantra of the violet flame using the mantra, “I AM a being of violet fire. I AM the purity God desires.” You can decree along with that. 

It's really important to understand that there are many tools which I've covered in previous podcasts, that you can review, spiritual tools that help us on the spiritual path that help us through some difficult and challenging times that we may be focusing on, or we may be experiencing at this time.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Well and those mantras and prayers and things that we can give on the different rays and especially on this violet ray, as you have said, are a part of our calling. I mean we are calling on our higher selves to give us a quotient of energy that really is sufficient to completely resolve this issue of race when race never should have been an issue ever upon the earth to begin with.

But when we remember that we have all been here before and we are here again now, and each lifetime is a series of tests and initiation. So, we have all been all of these races, we have all had this experience.

Sometimes we bring forward memories of experiences that are not exactly happy memories and it does cause us to behave in certain ways until we can get hold of this understanding of who we really are, who we have been, where we have been. So it doesn't really matter what body we wear because our body is just like a uniform and it becomes a part of us and we self-identify with it.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Our consciousness in this dimension, of course is very limited compared to our God consciousness. We exist in many levels and different vibrations simultaneously. We're just not necessarily awakened to all of those different levels and vibrations.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Right, right.

Host Nancy Showalter:

So very, very good Alberta. Are there any final words of wisdom or any particular point you'd like to leave with our listeners today?

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Yes. I think that today we accept we need to strive to accept that we are a keeper of a certain flame, a certain vibration of energy that we know can be helpful to us, to our families, to our nation and to the planetary body.

We want to know that no matter where we were born or where we reside now, we want to renew this vision and this mandate really that the victory not only of our individual souls, but that the victory of our nations and that the victory of America as a forerunner in this fight for freedom is actually a planetary assignment. That's how I like to think of it. It's really a cosmic mission for all of the I AM Race.

So, this idea of identifying with the ‘I AM’ Race, which is all peoples is one to hold onto and to keep holding this sense of unity and unison and to be able to convey it through our words, through our actions, through our deeds, to how we interact with other people and how we serve other people.

Holding that particular vision of it's a planetary assignment for all of the I AM Race puts us all in the same boat together because we are anyway.  We're all here on planet earth right now and we're facing these tests and initiations. So, let's do it together and let's have a sense of claiming “I am one with others” and “I am one with my God.” So that's my final hope and prayer for all of us.

Host Nancy Showalter:

Thank you so much for that, and everybody, I am looking forward next week to our episode to talk about again, the United States of America and how its founding and purpose fits into the ascended master plan.

I think you'll find it very interesting. It'll give you a perspective you may have never thought of.

Once again, when we all raise to this level of the I AM Presence, it is in that part of God, the “I AM” where we are one truly. So, we really need to accept and evolve to that higher level of consciousness to bring a golden age on this planet, which the Aquarium age is meant to be.

We are going through challenging times, there are challenges that we're facing. The people of Light must really stand up and stand for the Light. We know that is an important time for the Light to consume, swallow up the darkness.

Thank you again, Alberta, for being with us. Truly appreciate it.

Guest Alberta Fredricksen:

Oh, I'm so grateful to be here, to be with you, Nancy, and with all of your listeners, thank you for the opportunity.

Host Nancy Showalter:

You are most welcome.

Everybody, I will see you and we will see you next week. Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit.

Hello and welcome to Part One of our discussion on “Universal Laws: Why are They So Important?”

Paracelsus, who was a Swiss physician, he was a philosopher of the German Renaissance.  He had a very interesting quote. He said, “The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life. So that's what we're going to talk about in this series on universal laws.

Three Primary Laws

Now while there are many universal laws to understand, I'm going to focus on three primary ones that I believe are foundational, and from these three, you can unfold many others. But the three that I believe are foundational are the Law of Free Will, the Law of Vibration, and the Law of Cause and Effect.

So, let's define universal laws. From my perspective, I like to define them as the unchanging principles that govern every aspect of the universe. They're actually the foundation by which our world in the whole cosmos actually exists and expands.

These laws apply to all of us and all things in the universe, seen or unseen. So, as we understand these laws and learn to align with them, we'll find that life does flow more easily. You can actually take-in-stride and be grateful for whatever life brings you, because you know that every condition and circumstance that comes to you is for your learning and growth.

Think of it this way. We're now able to fly. Now this is not because anyone has been able to change the laws of nature.  Rather, the Wright brothers, who invented the airplane, learned how to apply nature's law to achieve the result they wanted of being able to fly, and it's very similar for all of these laws. The natural laws have not changed.

As far as the natural forces are concerned, there were no airplanes prior to Wright brothers, because we couldn't conceive of it being a possibility. At the time, there are a lot of arguments against it. “It's not been done,” “It can't be done,” etc., etc.

Yet the laws of airplanes existed before the Wright brothers figured it out, just as they still exist today. So, it's the same with universal laws. They've always existed.

You can learn to align with them in your life and apply them to become more productive. You'll be happier. You could be more at peace with yourself and the world.

So many people are awakening to these laws. However, there are many who still hold on to the perception that life happens and there's no specific purpose or underlying reasons.

It’s Your Choice

Now even in a world where we want instance answers or the ‘secret’ or the ‘secret formula’ to a happy and fulfilled life, we ultimately come to recognize there is no secret or secret formula.

Rather, it's a matter of choice. Your choice.

Now Albert Einstein had a very interesting perspective.  He said that the most important decision we can make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe. So, your answer to this question has a great impact on the choices you make and the life you create for yourself. So, take a moment to answer this question.

Do you believe you live in a friendly or hostile universe? Come up with two reasons why you believe that and then write them down. Then reflect on how these beliefs have impacted your life. It's a very interesting exercise to do and to go through.

So take that time and next week talk about the law of free will. The very first one that I believe is foundational. I will see you next week.

Until then, keep an open mind, a generous heart, and a powerful spirit. Thank you for being with me today and if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, download, and comment. I'd love to hear from you and your support is much appreciated.
