We the People: An Open Letter to All Citizens

It has become increasingly evident that the imposing and aggressive American "Christian Right" is now so powerful that being a Christian has become a litmus test for becoming president.

That is why John McCain has claimed that America is a "Christian nation," identifying with James Hagee, Franklin Graham and Pat Robertson. That is also why Barack Obama has resorted to talking about the role his Christian faith played in his community work to "fulfill God’s will," and do "the Lord’s work."

That is pandering. It is in ignorance of the U.S. Constitution, and it betrays the intent of the founding fathers who wanted to establish religious freedom, and freedom from religious bigotry.

We need to act to finally establish that freedom, once and for all. And we, the people, can and must do it. For as we’ve seen during the last 28 years, when good, humble people remain silent, it enables power-hungry, greedy, aggressive people to gain and abuse power.

We must now act to establish our rights to the equality of our religion, sex, race, nationality, and culture, and the rights to life, liberty, equality, justice, safety, universal health care, complete public education (from universal preschool-child care to post-graduate school), fair and adequate compensation for your labor, adequate social security income (if and when needed, so that no one suffers from hunger, poverty, or homelessness), and real freedom in the pursuit of happiness.

We the people can and must establish those rights and ensure that the common wealth is used for the common good. And we can do that by taking peaceful concerted action to establish new Constitutional Amendments under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, guided by an Updated Declaration of Independence, which has now been provided for us.

We the people can bring about a peaceful reformation of government, so that America may lead the world in liberating humanity from all divisive leaders, like the self-important and self-righteous partisan political leaders and sectarian religious leaders who fight for power over others and aggressively strive to rule over us.

We the people can ensure that our government becomes truly of, by, and for the people, and becomes a shining example so that the people of the world are no longer divided and ruled by dictators, tyrants, or even partisan presidential pretenders to the throne. We can share the thrones of our nations, and we can share the power and wealth and domain, as equal joint heirs. We can ensure that our government no longer serves Mammon and the wealthiest few, but instead serves all the people.

We need a reformation that will cement a permanent wall of separation between government and religion, and government will respect all religions equally, and also respect atheists and agnostics.

But we also need a reformation of religions, so that they all serve their main, true purpose, to unite the family of humanity under our Great Spirit-God-Parent, who is God by any other name. For however you perceive or conceive of Deity, there is but one Divine Holy One, which is God. Whatever you call it, and whether you regard it as One or many or All, it is still God. Every thing originated from and came out of the One, and every thing returns to the One that is God, the Source.

It is time to understand that God is not an idol, not a man, nor a son of man, and never has been and never will be. For God is the Supreme Consciousness, the omnipresent and eternal Divine Light-Energy-Source of our existence, and the primordial vibration or "Word" that is made flesh in all of us. So a reformation would correct idol worshipers who have not realized what God is, and it will dispel the myths and erroneous doctrines of men that have created so much conflict and division.

However, while this is in fulfillment of the religious prophecies of the world, it is not as religious people have expected.

 

That is, there will not be one person to fulfill the role of the Moshiach of Judaism, another as the Christ of Christianity; another as the Imam Mahdi of Islam, another as the Buddha Maitreya of Buddhism, another as the Kalki Avatar of Hinduism, another as the Saoshyant of Zoroastrianism, and another as Melchizedek the King of Peace.

One son of man, one witness-servant-messenger of God now fulfills all prophecy, to issue judgment, guide us unto truth, and show us things to come. But this time he comes like a thief in the night, to take power away from the pretender to the throne who tries to rule the world with all the monetary and military might at his disposal. In fact, the messenger’’s work will take power away from ALL the leaders in the world who have fought for and gained power, and abuse it to further enrich themselves and their wealthy supporters. And the message he has already made available will enable us, the humble and loving people of the world, to peacefully take power into our own hands and inherit the earth.

The New Reformation will correct the spiritually blind religious leaders who have led their blind flocks into aggressive and offensive attempts to establish ruling theocracies. The Reformation will enable religious equality and pluralism to begin to flourish. Religions will become as one family tree, and the leaves of the tree shall heal the nations. It will have many branches, called churches, synagogues, temples, ashrams, mosques, houses of worship, meeting houses, or whatever their congregations wish to call them. And they will all teach and emphasize that we are to be equal, harmonic members of One Family, called Humanity, and we will learn to celebrate our diversity!

I've studied theology and its relationship to government for many years. A few years ago I stumbled upon the web site of an author who I felt was on the right track, and I've monitored it since then. Now I feel he has finally gotten the message (more...)
