Bringing
government
into alignment with
the Lessons of Jesus:
The
focus of our show is how to bring government into alignment with truth
of our spiritual nature.
America
started with the idea we are all, inherently free. We are free to choose,
free to live, to breath, and to live our lives as we see fit. Government
does not own us; government is just a contractor, providing service to
us as sovereign individuals.
That
framework is in alignment with the spiritual truth that each of us connects
to God directly, needing no person or group as an intermediary. To be
free is to be free in the spirit and so in the flesh that temporarily
holds the spirit.
When
Thomas Jefferson said we were all possessed of inherent rights, existing
before government he was extending a spiritual truth into a civic form.
It is that Mission Statement from the Declaration of Independence we need
to keep in mind.
Because
we are free and reject, as did Christ, the use of deceit, manipulation
or violence, we need to identify and use other means for organizing ourselves
for all purposes. We must be conscious about our relationships with others
and find ways to grow into the sense of connection and community that
makes us One in Him.
This
is especially true for Christians but it is true for everyone else as
well. All spiritual ways share these values.
Nearly
every major spiritual viewpoint enunciates the idea that we are connected
to each other and should be good to each other. Christians just have an
even more exacting mission. Christians are to love every one, treating
them as they would Jesus.
Jesus
was very clear about how we were to treat others. He did not say that
it was alright to be abusive, deceitful, and violent if we used government
as our tool and agent. There was no exception, He wanted all of our hearts,
minds and souls. Christ did not lay out any plan of government, but left
it to the conscience of the individual, the same way He connects to each
of us.
Jesus
never said it would be easy. But neither would He have set goals for us
that are impossible.
We
are Americans but we are also members of a human family that connects
us to something truly wonderful and immense.
So
our job here at the Spiritual Politician is to look at Government as a
human tool we use every day. Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration
of Independence that government was ours to change. We need to do that.
Americans
have had many successes over the last 231 years since our founding and,
learning from both mistakes and successes we can take up the work and
bring America into alignment with the Lessons of Jesus and with the highest
visions of all humanity.
At
the Spiritual Politician we look at the simple truth of what government
has become and identify ways to bring it back to where it should be.

About
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster
Melinda
has been active in politics all of her life. She is also the founder and
president of the Arthur C. Pillsbury Foundation, dedicated to the legacy
of her grandfather, an early environmentalist, social visionary, inventor
and photographer whose work made the world as we live in today.
She became an atheist when she was eight and spent much of her adult life
as an Objectivist. She had a spiritual encounter with Jesus in the mid
80s and came to accept Him as Master. She woke up one morning to find
she had been crucified. She had holes in her wrists and feet, her ankle
bones were broken as were her collar bones. She died, gasping for breath
as her lungs filled up with blood.
Later,
she discovered that this was how crucifixion took place and came to accept
the Mission Jesus had called her to fulfill. She wrote a book about this
experience titled, Seventh Voice which recounts her memories with Jesus
as an Essene.
