Well, when things get out of hand spiritually as well as principly as things have in US lately, what do you do?

You go back to the roots.

The founding fathers, they had it right. They were descendants of the Italian Renaissance, where Hermeticism and Platonism was all the rave. I know, because I hold a dear connection to some of the knights of humanism.

So when people are in disagreement with what is up and down, you go back to the ideas of George Washington, why? Because those ideas of enlightenment and democracy are right.

In a way, the US is all that Europe WANTED to be, but couldn’t be, because we didn’t have the bright idealism you guys have.

So what are these ideas. Well, you see them defined in mr. Washingtons idea of a Republic. A Democratic institution, that see all peoples of the American electorate get a say. Ok such a great and big mass of people do not get so much to say, but ideally every citizen has a vote and a say.

This I think is the core of the United States of America. That great Nation of the brave and the free.

Here is another virtue you should both remember and cherish; Freedom.

To be free is what the citizens of the US was promised, and should therefor find each and everyone.

But at the core, there is the mission of the first pioneers. The very first settlers who sought for Israel.

What is Israel? Israel is the dream, the idea, that people can Iive in peace, side by side in harmony. Israel is paradise.

So why did the first settlers dream about that? They did it, because they KNEW, that it was possible to attain, that lofty dream and possible goal.

Is the paradise lost? Or is it still out there to be found?

That is what the US is all about, and trust me, it is difficult to realize, no doubt about that, but it is also possible. It is essentially a question of finding the right balance between all the different bodies and principle of the Nation; the law, the democratic institution, the religion. Make it into a whole, and you WILL find paradise.

At least this was the possible example of the first city, the city of Eridu or as we call it, the city of Eden.

G-d bless the peace and dreams we CAN find, if we try and try again. G-d bless the United States of America.
