SL02-16 Sanctuary of the Soul Declaration of Independence Imaginal Prayer

On Saturday, July 4, 2020 the United States will celebrate the 224th anniversary of the birth of our nation.  The 224th anniversary of the severing of ties with Great Britain with the Declaration of Independence.   In light of COVID-19 and all that has happened since the murder of George Floyd an unarmed black man at the hands of police, we know first hand that however inspired — divinely or otherwise — the beginning paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence may have been, those words have never fully been made flesh in the United States.  We know that history has proven time and time again that those words apply to some citizens more readily than they do to all others.  For those of us who are U.S. citizens of European American descent, if we are honest with our past and ourselves without making excuses for the behavior of our ancestors, we have to admit our ancestors never really applied those words to the enslaved African Americans and their descendants and that the growth and advancement of our nation has suffered the consequence as a result. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  In honor of Independence Day July 4th, I hope you will join me, soul to soul, in creating sanctuary for your soul to find rest, to rest in that Love, rest in that Light, and be inspired to radiate that Light and radiate that Love from your soul, helping to raise the frequency of our nation and imagine a United States of America where it truly is self-evident, that all men are created equal.
