<p>In the many years that I have looked into the topics of nutrition, fitness, meditation, energy medicine, and consciousness, I have come upon one particular concept that was startling to me.</p>
<p>America, as we all know, has been fraught with controversy since its birth. There are things going on behind the scenes that are perpetrated by our governments that are unfathomable and unconscionable.</p>
<p>And now, as we watch a new story unfold in the face of our political machine, we see all the truths that we have held closely vanishing before our eyes.</p>
<p>The American Dream is losing ground wouldn’t you agree?</p>
<p>Our government has lost face world wide, our economy is drowning, the housing market has gone bust, employers and businesses are in trouble and people are watching in fear as America as we have come to know her is combusting.</p>
<p>What is really going on here? I have a few thoughts….</p>
<p>At this point in American history, I believe its fair to say that most of what has been hidden about the founding of our beautiful country has been uncovered and is pretty much known to most of us.</p>
<p>The hidden groups such as the freemasons or the illuminati….the influencers of the hidden governmental factions that are seemingly running things….</p>
<p>We all have heard about these groups and whether we want to believe they exist or not matters little.</p>
<p>So, why are they here? What are their true plans for America? What are they really up to? And, how long have they really been in control?</p>
<p>Its common knowledge, and if it isn’t then a quick Google search will make it known, that at least the majority of our U.S. Presidents were freemasons or at least members of one of those groups I mentioned.</p>
<p>And, if you look back through history at the establishment of this country you will see that it was started by Freemasonic factions. And, I am of the opinion that we are still controlled by this group or its offshoots.</p>
<p>But, why? What do they want with us?</p>
<p>Well, to truly understand the goal, I think we need to look at the history of these groups. And, I encourage you to study up on this yourself also. It really is quite fascinating.</p>
<p>I have, over the past few years, actually had the opportunity of meeting a few masons. I actually worked with them at a couple of jobs. And, trust me, not every mason is rich and powerful.</p>
<p>But, I asked them lots of questions about the origins, according to what I had come up with in my research. And, themes that came up consistently were about the Pyramids, their purpose and their construction, and how Freemasonry dates back to certain types of Egyptian mystery schools.</p>
<p>Has any of you ever wondered about the pyramid on the dollar bill?</p>
<p>If you look at Egyptian Mystery schools you find that they were very much connected with subjects of astrology (forbearer of modern astronomy) alchemy (forbear of modern chemistry) and a great many other subjects regarding humanity’s development.</p>
<p>But, in researching all of this, I still continued to wonder what the truth behind it all is.</p>
<p>What is the purpose of America? Out of hundreds of thousands of civilizations why does it seem to come down to this? To us?  And, why do we seem to have taken the reigns in the direction the world now takes?</p>
<p>These other nations, the nation of Egypt, India, and China, and the countries of Europe have been around so long with histories going back tens of thousands of years to before things were ever written down.</p>
<p>Why does America, so young with a cultural history of maybe a few hundred years, seem to shine in a way that no other country has….even still?</p>
<p>A theory of mine is that America, beyond its political or religious regimes, beyond what is believed by so many….America is a metaphor for the rising in consciousness of the people of the world.</p>
<p>We are the capstone on the pyramid of the world! We are the fruit of the Tree of Life!</p>
<p>Right now, in America, we are being given a choice. When we look around, what do we see? We see destruction. We see war being perpetrated on innocent citizens, we see a nation of unconscious people who live only for themselves, who are materialistic, and inconsiderate of anyone else in the world.</p>
<p>We see so much bad. This is what is being put in front of us through the media. We watch television and, as a mass culture, we buy into it….do we not?</p>
<p>But! Underneath all of that….in some ways hidden…we can see a culture of people who are awakening to the light of what true living is. We see the greening of America and the world.</p>
<p>We see people who are taking control of themselves and exercising their right to choose. What are they choosing? Health, vibrancy, love, compassion, and fearlessness.</p>
<p>What I see, are people like David Wolfe, Ken Wilber, Peter Ragnar, David Deida, who are extremely successful human beings. These people are clearly American but if you look into their work you see that they espouse tenets and structure their teachings around concepts that were originally developed in countless other ancient traditions.</p>
<p>If you have ever listened to a lecture by David Wolfe, you will see this clearly. The philosophy that he has put together is so amazing and is a huge conglomeration of ideas from ancient Chinese and Taoist herbal medicine, from South American medicine.</p>
<p>He references the Russian and Ayurvedic medicinal systems and he puts it together in a way that is easy to comprehend and put into action.</p>
<p>One of his favorite quotes is, “We are the air to all the ages, in the foremost ranks of all time!” And I love to hear this. Even within our symbolism, this idea makes itself known.</p>
<p>The caduceus of Hermes is the symbol for the American Medical Association. What does it correspond to going down through history? It represents the spine with the energy of the serpent (kundalini) climbing as it goes through the chakras reaching the crown where it is said full enlightenment is attained.</p>
<p>America….as a melting pot of cultures and races….has opened up the world to yoga, meditation, energy medicine, qi gong, and nutrition in ways that are technologically profound. We are not only proving that those ancient sciences were valid…but we are improving them and combining them with technology in ways that those cultures could hardly have ever dreamed of.</p>
<p>America and its people, its teachers, are the teachers of the new science of a coming world of light and life and love. We do it better than anyone else. We feel it deeper than anyone else because we need it more and we see whats coming.</p>
<p>We are the new garden of Eden.</p>
<p>We are being given a new choice. And, whatever we choose will be and is freely given. The choice is tyranny or freedom…..destruction or rejuvenation.</p>
<p>Do we want to continue to live in the false systems of greed, and hate. Or do we want to recreate paradise on earth?</p>
<p>Both choices are here and you can have it all. Make your choices carefully because our survival is what hangs in the balance.</p>
<p>Peace, Love, Light!</p>
