Choindra:  So be it indeed fellow teacher.

Jim:  Good morning Choindra and we bid you welcome in the love and light of Mother/Father God.

Choindra:  It is with great honor that I join you this morning and I wish to take this opening moment to share with you fellow teacher that on this day that honors fathers, you are honored by many in spirit for the role that you play in the lives of many.  We on the spirit side honor you far more than you know.  We are aware that you have experienced difficult challenges within your own heart and have questioned your role.  It is of vital importance for you to understand that a period of questioning oneself is indeed valid but the time to do so must pass.  You have stepped away on many occasions from that which your heart has drawn you to do.  Understand fellow teacher that not only for those in the physical but for all of those on the spirit side it is important to all that, now more than ever, you step forward into that light which is who you have chosen to be in this time, in this place and in this hour of great need on your planet.  Know that there are many both on the spirit side and in the very physical realm who love and honor you deeply and are there with out stretched arms and hands to encourage you, to give you new direction.  We ask that you not fall short of your potential.  It is with the greatest love that we are sharing this with you today, on this day that honors father.

Jim:  And I thank you very much for that.  I know that I have gone through troubled times both emotionally and everything else but I am going to turn it around.

Choindra:  Understand fellow teacher that with you present in this room today are two in the physical, and scores in spirit who surround the three of you.  Understand that we will stand to council your questions through them. Do not let your preconceived notions of weakness prevent you from asking for help.  Our student has left this dwelling on many occasions frustrated, hands full of healing, heart full of love and unable to impart that healing to you for your heart has been shut down.  Know this and choose to accept or reject the validity of that which we speak.

Jim:  Alright I will do so.

Choindra:  With that said, know that you are loved and know that all those present in this room today are loved beyond measure for the willingness to choose a life in a time that presents so many challenges.  Phyllis your work is much.  Not only in the way that you impact the young hearts and minds but in the way you steady the rudder in the turbulent seas within your family.  Know that this is not without great notice and great support by those energies that surround you.  Be willing to let spirit flow more frequently for there are, as you know, many who wish to be heard and it need not always be in a formal dedicated setting.  Simply be open to the guidance that you receive. 

Phyllis:  Thank you. 

Choindra:  And for our student I share with her that she must be prepared, for there will be many occasions where she must be willing, if she so chooses, to allow the guidance that she feels to flow and be less afraid of rejection.  She teaches many, and for this, fellow teachers both of you, you are honored for you have brought this one to a level where she too impacts many.

Jim:  Alright thank you for that.

Choindra:  If there are questions for me I would be honored to answer them. 

Jim:  The earth quake in Japan, is that a precursor for another shift that is taking place?

Choindra:  There is great shifting and settling taking place at this time.  This pattern will continue. There will be as in the climate, much disruption in the surface in the planet as well.  Times forthcoming will present many challenges; many will be brought to a place of awareness as a result.  My friends, this is without question, a time of great awakening for many.  What you have seen with even those in your circle is to be the way of the times to come.  With many finding knowledge and abilities that they did not appreciate that they had.  This is not isolated to this small collective but is true and is representative of what is taking place around this great planet.  Understand without question that this planet on which you reside is merely a grand experiment in spirit.  All of the history of this planet combined is merely a point in a time line.  The earth itself will continue to evolve regardless of the presence of human kind.  It is only the ego of man that feels the need to control that which can not be controlled through any way other than the opening of the mind.  There is one in your circle who is doing extensive work in this area.  Do not discount that which is shared with her for she indeed is being given great tools with which to have great influence as time moves forward.  Each who chooses a life in the physical can choose to step away from the limitations imposed by logic and ego and return to a state of heart felt grace. In doing so, indeed all things are possible.  No man singularly can change the shifting of the earth; no man singularly can change the devastation of climate as you are seeing it unfold.  Yet collectively there is great potential to do so.  Know this and as teachers, teach this.  Use your time with those who present themselves to you to explain this truth, teach others to be empowered by spirit and in doing so all these things that are cleansing this planet at this time will do so only for the highest and best good of all. 

Jim:  Alright.  I feel that some of my family members that I have been with here in the past couple of weeks, some of them have been asking me questions and it seems that they have not found the answers where they are at now. 

Choindra:  This is true.  And is it not within your knowledge that they seek your council for valid reasons?

Jim:  Yes.  Ok I understand.  I will be open if they continue to ask questions.

Choindra:  As the master teacher Jesus spoke, you fellow teacher, you Phyllis, our student are mere mustard seeds. Scatter the seeds of knowledge wherever possible.  Not all will put down roots but some will, and as those seeds put down roots and begin to grow, shelter from the storms of that which impacts life on your planet will be created.

Jim:  Alright.

Choindra:  I will at this time stand aside for the one that I know that you have gathered to hear from today is exceptionally anxious to be heard.  I may rejoin you at the close unless another chooses to do so.

Jim:  Alright and we thank you being here.  We know the blessings of Mother/Father God journey with you.

Choindra:  As we journey with you.

Jack:  Good morning my friends.

Phyllis:  Good morning Jack.

Jim:  Good morning Jack and we bid you welcome in the love and light of Mother/Father God. 

Jack:  What an incredible, incredible message. 

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  I hesitate to even try to follow that.  As I absorb not only what was said but the energy of that intention I am greatly moved.  I am greatly honored.  My friends, you have no idea of the change that is taking place.

Jim: Ok

Jack:  Let me begin by thanking this young woman for hearing what I shared earlier while you were discussing certain things on the patio.  Indeed the energy of Tim Russert joined us in spirit for good cause.  Tim, like myself understood in those final moments that he had made a choice to have great impact during his lifetime but far greater impact in his passing.  The eyes of journalists around the world have viewed the esteem with which he was held.  His passing has raised the bar of what the people of the world will come to expect from mainstream media.  It has shined a light on the betrayal of the American people and the people in many places around the world.  It is important for many to understand this.

Jim:  Ok

Jack:  You will see periodically as we move forward in our discussions, as they intensify in these months to come, there will be those times where this will be the case because there is a great possibility for this nation and for this world as a whole to truly be in a position of working toward the highest level among people.  I know Jim that you have questions today and I would like to begin with those. 

Jim:  I don’t know where to start with what’s going on with the political scene, with what I have seen going on with FEMA just this past week.  It totally blows my mind that someone does not force them to be more accountable. 

Jack:  We have talked for many years my friend about the need for government in all levels to be accountable.  We talked some time ago about the betrayal of the American people becoming more evident as we move forward in time.  We talked at many times in recent years of how, unfortunately, the American people would not awaken from their apathy easily and that the result of this might well be learning lessons the hard way.  We’re there.  You look at the mortgage industry, you look at the travesty of the Federal Reserve, you look at the breakdown of health care and the insurance industry, you look at the waste by government agencies in things such as the FEMA giveaway.  It is important for the American people, as those who have lead the world in the past as beacons of knowledge and hope, as to how society can best utilize its talents to step back and regroup.  It is unfortunate that the American people had to be knocked to their knees for this process to begin.  It wasn’t so long ago that the American people were sprinting towards a finish line of harmony, prosperity and greatness, but like so many, they became greedy and as an off shoot of those who have plenty they have become exceptionally complacent.  As close as you were to the finish line, the race must begin again, for all the progress of this nation, from the end of World War II, through the end of the Vietnam Era has been undermined. The American people must reclaim this nation.  It is my hope and the hope of many where I am that this can begin.  This process of healing, this process of rehabilitating this nation can begin with the election of ones such as Senator Obama.  Here is a man who is not afraid to cast off old ideas in favor of finding a solution that works.  Here is a man who recognizes that greatness requires personal responsibility and accountability.  Here is a man who is willing to reach out to those across all boundaries- geographical, economic, racial, religious, gender.  Here is a man who is willing to learn from all and to help others to learn as well.  This will lead to a dangerous road.  There is an old saying; keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer.  Many will question much that Senator Obama says and does in the weeks and months to come.  They will question his loyalty both to the Democratic Party and to that paradigm that this nation has chosen to believe as its political process.  Understand my friends that it is only through this process that he can open the doors that need to be battered down.  Don’t listen to 20 second sound bites without knowing the full context.  This is extremely important for all political candidates in this coming election season.  For there are those who will choose to employ that sound bite swift boat mentality to broadcasting the news in an effort to skew the understanding of the American people to one side or the other.  This is much truer for those who believe as you do and those who’s views are diametrically opposed.  This will be a campaign unlike any since the campaign of the honorable Abraham Lincoln. 

Jim:  I think Senator Obama and his team were basically smart in turning down the town hall meeting that John requested.  Senator McCain functions better in a small grouping. He’ll stumble less but I think by having a larger audience I think we get a better understanding of how he actually works under pressure.

Jack:  As I have shared with you in the past, Senator Obama’s greatest tool will be his unflappability in a debate setting.  He will conduct each and every debate that takes place with the most gentile courtesy while at the same time standing with his thumb on the hot button of his opponent.  This will be quite telling to even the staunchest supporters of Senator McCain.

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  I honor Senator McCain, do not mistake my words.  For as we have spoken in the past this man has been a true servant of this country for a long time.  He has done great things for this nation.  The dilemma lies within the fact that Senator McCain too has become complacent with the political machine that exists.  For one who has hailed himself as a maverick of modern politics, he is quite clearly old guard.  Mr. McCain’s approach to world policy is akin to choosing a spear rather than a sword for combat.  This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, to say that Mr. McCain has not been of incredible value. And this is not to say that his role in the campaign to come will not be of incredible value to making the American people wake up to the reality of what this country has become, verses what this country can and should be.

Jim:  Yes, the interview they showed this morning with Tim Russert, where Tim was basically cross examining him again about his statement of leaving the troops in Iraq for 100 years and he came back with well after the Korean War we are still there, and Japan after they surrendered. And of course my question is, why?  Why are we still there?  Why not bring those troops home, put them on the boarder between Mexico and the United States and at least stop the flood of drugs. 

Jack:  My friend, can I interject a thought and perhaps a shift in your thinking?

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  While I understand and appreciate your perspective and while you and I normally agree on most things having to do with the political scene, there is value to maintaining a presence in these foreign nations.  However, we approach a time where the validity of this can only be effective if we do so with an outstretched hand rather than a closed fist.  We can have great impact in Japan, we can have great impact in Iraq, we can have great impact in Guantanamo, and we can have great impact in all the places where we have a presence today if indeed that presence is viewed from the standpoint of being a presence to help.  In Japan today my friends, while you will hear little of it on the news unfortunately, it is that military presence of ours in Japan that is providing great assistance to those who have been harmed by the recent earthquake.  It is our presence in South Korea today that does keep a lid on the aspirations of the north.  Jim, we have value around the world by our presence and that role does not need to be one of aggression.  For lack of a better analogy, the police officer that is present in the schools today while a tragic and a tragic statement of our society does not have to walk around thumping his nightstick on his hand or carrying his gun at the ready, but his presence is no less a value. 

Jim:  Using that analogy I agree. What I have difficulty with, and I may be wrong in my figures, but, in the last figures I read the amount of money that Japan puts into their defense fund compared to what we put into the defense fund in Japan is astronomically different.  We spend 10 times if not more supposedly defending Japan than they do defending themselves.  Subsequently it affects us as tax payers; it affects us in an economic way.  We can spend that money maybe to build better equipment here. When the Korean conflict started in1948, or somewhere in that time frame it took days to move troops and supplies to Korea from here. Now even from this country it takes hours.  So the tremendous amount of military industrial establishment that we have present in those countries to me is out of line for what we’re spending, for what we’re getting. 

Jack:  There’s an old saying, my friend, about figures lying and liars figuring.  Beware of what you see in those figures.  Beware of the figures that you see and indeed you are correct in the influence of the military industrial establishment.  It is not unlike many other industries if you will, that the prices that are given, the cost that is explained and expressed, is far greater than what it is.  I am sure you’ve heard recent figures about the airline industry. I will use this for an example, of what airlines will have to charge to be able to put planes in the air in light of the current fuel crisis.  Again this is a bid by those in power with the airlines to capitalize on a perceived and created crisis to take steps to improve their bottom line.  This is true with our military presence in foreign nations.  My friend, if we supply our military bases, this part of our military would be equally supported were they in Japan, or Iraq, or Arizona.  It’s how you choose to slice the pie, how you choose to view the expense and like in all things, in all business decisions very often it must be weighed.  The money that is being wasted in Iraq today is not on our military, it is not even in the cost of waging this conflict directly.The cost to this nation of waging this conflict is those in private industry who are capitalizing on this conflict to improve their bottom line. 

Jim:  Absolutely.  It’s the contractors that are supposedly over there building the schools and the hospitals that are charging astronomical fees that basically are probably getting close to slave labor, paying slave labor wages that are improving their bottom line and these are some of the things that I have a problem with.  You’re right we need to look at North Korea with an open hand. This administration has failed to do so and they use words of access of evil and this is something that bothers me.  Pull half the troops out, take part of that money and sit down with North Korea as we’re doing now behind the curtain even though Mr. Obama has said he would do it willingly, this administration now is doing it behind the scenes.  It’s time that we bring these things out in the open and say yes we’re sitting down with Korea, yes we want to offer them some rice, yes we want to offer them some health care so their people don’t starve to death and are in better health. And, yes, the person who runs North Korea is not firing on all eight, so to speak, I understand that, but that’s only our perception of what is.

Jack:  You’re correct.  You are absolutely correct my friend.

Jim:  What’s going on in Zimbabwe is the same thing we put Robert Mugabe in office.

Jack:  This is, as we have spoken many times in the past, that precise desire of those who wish to instill one world order in this world and this must be watched closely and exposed to the greatest scrutiny.  I believe that it will take some time even with the hope for change in administration to begin to eliminate all of these areas of the betrayal, not only of the American people but of the world as a whole, a nation who is to be a leader in peace. 

Jim:  I hate to see a fence built across the border between Mexico and the United States for two reasons. One, environmentally, to ruin the beauty of some of the land by having this fence there. And second, the cost of building that fence and maintaining that fence is astronomical.  Pay someone like myself and a bunch of other people that are retired to go down there and sit in a chair for eight hours a day for a month, pay them well, come home for a month, and rotate the shifts.  You’re still saving money.  You see something like a fat jackrabbit carrying a backpack you push a button in your hand and you send a warning signal to them.  This to me is better use of money. Give these people, who would like to protect our borders, a stipend to go down there and sit in a chair. Relax and just sit there with a pair of binoculars and watch. But there are people within this country who don’t want that to happen.  There are politicians within this country who get money from drug people who want to keep it status quo and I know that.

Jack:  Absolutely my friend, and is it not more to the best interest of the American people to reach out a hand in friendship to Mexico, to make them become indeed somewhat a partner economically. And no, that does not mean that I am favoring a North American Union. Let me clarify that as I say this, but we can do more to protect our boarders by improving the quality of life in Mexico than we can by putting up fences and building walls. 

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  The Great Wall of China stands as a towering symbol of something.  Does anybody today care what that towering symbol stood for?  Don’t ever believe that to close any door is in the best interest of the occupants of the structure.  America did not become this great nation of diverse culture by building fences.

Jim:  No, that is true. At some point in time, I get to the point of saying let’s annex Mexico, raise the minimum wage, we have a smaller boarder to protect south of Mexico and force the approximately 13 families that run all of Mexico into a better economic deliverance of monies. 

Jack:  You are precisely correct there Jim because it is not the Mexican people who are reacting so desperately because they just like the United States better. It is what has been created within the borders of Mexico that has caused great desperation for the Mexican people. And through that desperation, through that poverty, much as you find in your poor urban areas of this country, this nation has become so focused on amassing great wealth that it takes very little to lure the poverty stricken into a world of corruption in the name of the almighty dollar.

Jim:  There’s a man in Mexico who is now supposed to be, according to Forbes Magazine, the second richest man in the world and I believe his last name is Slim. His family doesn’t even come from Mexico if I remember correctly. And I would really have to check my facts, but I think his family originally came from Hungary or Austria, but they say right now in Mexico there is not one thing that you can do that he does not make money on.  He owns all the telecommunications, he owns all the radios, he owns most of the roadways or has something to do with the roadways, and he’s not even of Mexican or Spanish descent.  There’s a lady who is of, what I understand, Spanish descent who makes a nickel off of every beer bottled in Mexico.  I would like to know what she pays her people. 

Jack:  Indeed.

Jim:  These are the things where I say America has got to put pressure on the elite of Mexico.  When you see pictures of young girls, and I have seen the pictures, who take alter bread, unconsecrated, and have a party with it, flaunting their own Catholicism because of their wealth.  We need to force, and I don’t know if force is the right word, entice, pressure, however, because the people who are rushing here for a better job, which now in the building industry doesn’t exist nation wide, but for those people that are rushing here would prefer to stay back in their roots. 

Jack:  And my friend as we spoke at the beginning of our time together today this nation is being cut down to its knees both economically and through catastrophic weather patterns.  This nation must cease to be about the concept of hollow excess.

Jim:  You’re right.

Jack:  There is no valid reason my friends that a young person shies away from an education and a career in medicine or law or agriculture to become a rock star for lack of a better word or a rap singer or a football player or a basketball player or in many cases a drug dealer, simply to amass great fortune.  We, as a society, allowed ourselves to view self worth under the magnifying glass of financial worth.  There is no excuse for what you are seeing take place right now, which is painful, for those such as yourself and those in the middleclass in the heartland of this nation who are suffering unbelievably.  It is so difficult for them to recognize the bigger picture that in order to rebuild this nation on solid footing our priorities needed to change and for all of the warning signs, for all that has been said and done in the last 250 years in this great land, people lost sight of what it is that this country stands for.  As in the case of many, whose egos must be shattered, before they can make a change. To provide a service to others, such is true much to my sadness, of this country.  So as you look at these trying times I would ask that you be grateful at the same time, for it is only in going through this great calamity that this nation will be afforded the opportunity to rebuild itself, because my friends, the alternative would have been far, far worse. 

Jim:  Absolutely.  And to a degree, I got on my soap box today.

Jack:  Welcome, there’s always room for one more. 

Jim:  Yes, but I can see what’s going on in the Midwest, in Iowa, Indiana places like that. It is devastating. I can look at it and say in actuality nature is revitalizing the soil also, because it is depositing fish scales and fish and nutrients back onto the land that will rot.  It’s going to take quite a few months. We may lose a lot of crops.  What I can foresee is you’re going to find people bonding together not only from that area but from across the United States who are going to go there and say, I’ll help. We’re going to rebuild you people, we’re going to put you back on dry soil again.

Jack:  I leave you my friend today with a thought, and one which I would challenge you not only to share on your website but to share with those you speak with in the days to come, and again, for those who are not of a metaphysical orientation this will be a big stretch. What was it about 9-11 that the American people didn’t get. Because if you think about the ensuing seven years or coming up on the seven year anniversary, these natural disasters, these calamities both naturally and economically, these challenges that have presented themselves in energy have all begun in this nation since that fateful day in September of 2001.  Do not think for a moment that this has not been without reason on a grander scale.  The American people were given a wakeup call and they chose to misread it, its leaders chose to use that lesson as a cause for aggression, as a cause to further its greed.  Your leaders chose to use September 11th as a tool for those in power to amass greater power in greater proportion.  When in reality all of those who lost their lives on that day did so to awaken the American people to the need for a change in the fabric of this society.  They chose not to listen, they chose not to hear, they chose not to see, and hence we see what is taking place today.  And my friends, as I spoke many years ago, I implore the people of this nation today to, ask not what this country can do for you, I implore you to ask what you can do to restore this nation.  And with that my friends I will leave for today.

Jim:  And we thank you for being here and for sharing with us and wherever you go we know the blessings of Mother/Father God journey with you.

Jack:  Thank you my friends for allowing me to be apart of your world.

Jim:  And we were pleased that your brother stepped into Phyllis even as difficult as it was on both.

Jack:  Bobby has been quite anxious to speak.  He is still somewhat impetuous.  He still has some learning to do.  I thank you for the counsel that you provided to him my friend as you counseled me early in our discussion.

Jim:  Thank you.

Jack:  And I also thank both of you and this young woman for the energy and prayers that have been sent to my youngest brother Teddy.  He feels the love; he feels again the mantel for it is not again by chance that at the time so much is focused on the political scene he chose to make the Kennedy legacy a part of the American consciousness through this difficult way, in a way that he could not have touched otherwise. 

Jim:   I think he’s going to show a lot of people whether they have cancer, Alzheimer’s, whatever that attitude is part of the biggest thing in the fighting.

Jack:  And my friend in a different perspective as well my brother in his support of Barack Obama lent the Kennedy to a candidacy of great importance but his words in light of his current challenges will bring focus even more so to the Kennedy legacy in politics.  More people on other sides of the political divide will now be willing to listen to the council of an elder statesman who for all intents and purposes has publicly declared that his time is short. Again my friends there are no coincidences.

Jim:  No, and once again we thank you for being here.

Jack:  Thank you my friends.
