The Declaration of Human Freedom

Archangel Michael (Via Steve Beckow), Feb. 19, 2011

Every being is a divine and eternal soul living in a temporal body. Every being was alive before birth and will live after death.

Every soul enters into physical life for the purpose of experience and education, that it may, in the course of many lifetimes, learn its true identity as a fragment of the Divine.

Life itself is a constant process of spiritual evolution and unfoldment, based on free choice, that continues until such time as we realize our true nature and return to the Divine from which we came.

No soul enters life to serve another, except by choice, but to serve its own purpose and that of the Divine from which it came.

All life is governed by natural and universal laws which precede and outweigh the laws of humanity. These laws, such as the law of karma, the law of attraction, and the law of free will, are decreed by God to order existence and assist each person to achieve life’s purpose.

No government can or should survive that derives its existence from the enforced submission of its people or that denies its people their basic rights and freedoms.

Life is a movement from one existence to another, in varied venues throughout the universe and in other universes and dimensions of existence. We are not alone in the universe but share it with other civilizations, most of them peace-loving, many of whom are more advanced than we are, some of whom can be seen with our eyes and some of whom cannot.

The evidence of our five senses is not the final arbiter of existence. Humans are spiritual as well as physical entities and the spiritual side of life transcends the physical. God is a Spirit and the final touchstone of God’s Truth is not physical but spiritual. The Truth is to be found within.

God is one and, because of this, souls are one. They form a unity. They are meant to live in peace and harmony together in a “common unity” or community. The use of force to settle affairs runs contrary to natural law. Every person should have the right to conduct his or her own affairs without force, as long as his or her choices do not harm another.

No person shall be forced into marriage against his or her will. No woman shall be forced to bear or not bear children, against her will. No person shall be forced to hold or not hold views or worship in a manner contrary to his or her choice. Nothing vital to existence shall be withheld from another if it is within the community’s power to give.

Every person shall retain the ability to think, speak, and act as they choose, as long as they not harm another. Every person has the right to choose, study and practice the education and career of their choice without interference, provided they not harm another.

No one has the right to kill another. No one has the right to steal from another. No one has the right to force himself or herself upon another in any way.

Any government that harms its citizens, deprives them of their property or rights without their consent, or makes offensive war upon its neighbors, no matter how it misrepresents the situation, has lost its legitimacy. No government may govern without the consent of its people. All governments are tasked with seeing to the wellbeing of their citizens. Any government which forces its citizens to see to its own wellbeing without attending to theirs has lost its legitimacy.

Men and women are meant to live fulfilling lives, free of want, wherever they wish and under the conditions they desire, providing their choices do not harm another and are humanly attainable.

Children are meant to live lives under the beneficent protection of all, free of exploitation, with unhindered access to the necessities of life, education, and health care.

All forms of exploitation, oppression, and persecution run counter to universal and natural law. All disagreements are meant to be resolved amicably.

Any human law that runs counter to natural and universal law is invalid and should not survive. The enactment or enforcement of human law that runs counter to natural and universal law brings consequences that cannot be escaped, in this life or another. While one may escape temporal justice, one does not escape divine justice.

All outcomes are to the greater glory of God and to God do we look for the fulfillment of our needs and for love, peace, and wisdom. So let it be. Aum/Amen.

… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

'Energizer bunny' Kerry wins new diplomatic coup

was reached, in Geneva, on November 24, 2013 (AFP, Alexander Klein)

Washington — John Kerry has done it again. Against the odds and confounding all expectations, the top US diplomat has pulled off a second major arms deal with a recalcitrant state in a matter of months.

After marathon Geneva talks, Kerry emerged with an interim deal with Iran to roll back its nuclear program which for years has eluded the global community.

It comes just weeks after a September accord brokered with Russia to eliminate Syria's declared chemical arms -- even though Damascus had refused previously to openly acknowledge that it even possessed such a toxic arsenal.

It's a huge coup for the former long-time senator who took over as secretary of state from Hillary Clinton in February, and who, in a nod to his reputation for being slightly dull, joked then that he had "big heels to fill."

But as he prepares to mark his 70th birthday next month, Kerry can be forgiven for showing some satisfaction at his first 10 months in office, and a record which has won him grudging respect from the White House.

"Agreement in Geneva: first step makes world safer. More work now. -JK #IranTalks," Kerry wrote on the State Department Twitter account.

In the months since he took charge of some 70,000 diplomats and the bureau known by its Washington location as Foggy Bottom, Kerry has waded unflinchingly into the world's most intractable problems.

Even his quixotic quest to try to resolve the 60-year-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict bore fruit when he doggedly pushed the two sides back to the table after a three-year hiatus, though a deal remains a long way off.

Clinton, who always had an eye on her image and a potential 2016 White House bid, steered clear of getting bogged down in the messy diplomacy required in the Middle East.

But if Clinton was the right woman at the start of President Barack Obama's tenure to restore America's tattered reputation overseas, perhaps Kerry is the man for a second-term Obama aiming to carve out a legacy on foreign policy.

Armed with seemingly endless patience, a love of his own voice and a bountiful dose of self-confidence which fuels his belief in his powers of persuasion, Kerry has proved a tireless negotiator.

"Kerry is a difference maker," Joel Rubin, director of policy for the Ploughshares Fund, told AFP, also praising the "limitless energy" of Kerry's team.

"He seems to be the type of secretary who wants to roll up his sleeves and get into the weeds, and is willing to burn the midnight oil. That builds confidence in the parties."

Kerry's staff talk of seeing him going through the Syria chemical weapons deal line by line, pencil in hand, along with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

He has spent hours locked in rooms with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his seven trips so far to Israel and the West Bank.

He stayed longer than planned in Kabul in October to hammer out a bilateral security deal with the notoriously mercurial President Hamid Karzai, which is now being debated by the traditional assembly or loya jirga.

Yet he is also known for veering off script, and more than once his press people have been forced to walk back verbal gaffes that have left White House officials shaking their heads.

Although Kerry claims that he deliberately floated the idea of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad turning over his chemical weapons, most observers believe he actually misspoke at a London press conference and the idea was seized on by Lavrov, who laid down the gauntlet to the White House.

His ranks of senior advisors are also worryingly thin, and some diplomats have privately complained that little policy direction is trickling down from the top.

Analyst Aaron David Miller, who worked for six secretaries of state, has described Kerry as "the Energizer bunny" of American diplomacy.

While all the ingredients may be present for Kerry to become a truly consequential secretary of state, Miller has words of caution.

"You take a lot of heat for being naive, overextended, too eager for the deal. And there's always the risk of being taken for granted," he wrote in Foreign Policy magazine.

"A secretary must maintain a certain amount of detachment, creating the mystique of being unavailable and inaccessible. It creates authority."
