One thing that strikes the observer is how unnatural the suburbs are. In the vast majority of suburban developments, the land is cleared of vegetation ENTIRELY. Every last tree, every last shrub, and every last blade of natural grass is removed. In its place is the ubiquitous Kentucky Bluegrass ornamental lawn and evergreen shrubbery. What is the spiritual impact of living every day in such an artificial environment?

And what about those lawns? We learned that plants do experience fear. That suggests that lawns represent a great deal of regularly scheduled trauma for the mowed grass surrounding almost every suburban home. Does this have any discernable adverse effect on the humans who live in the midst of this regularly scheduled carnage?

Most indigenous peoples around the globe built simple dwellings that were more circular and curvy rather than squares and rectangles and hard corners. There is some belief that squared rooms and hard corners have deleterious and undesirable effects on the “energy” of the dwelling—that due to the harsh effect of hard 90 degree corners, energy cannot “flow” as it should, and becomes perturbed in ways that can actually be harmful to humans over time. Is this true? And if so, is the widespread use of straight lines and hard corners in modern construction a result of interloper manipulation?

While there are more similarities than differences in suburban communities, some subdivisions take conformity to an almost “absurd” level. The HOA or Homeowners’ Association, while like many things had an arguably benign beginning, has for some communities become something akin to Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia. Everything from not mowing your lawn on time, to having the wrong flower arrangement on your porch, to even flying the American flag, can bring truly shocking levels of backlash. How did this come about, and how did karma play a role in luring some hapless homeowners into these truly “American Dream” nightmares?

When we look at all of creation, we observe how much Creator values non-conformity. Every snowflake is unique, every grain of sand. Yet the dominant characteristic of the suburb is its stultifying conformity. One of the “outcomes” of suburban living is the widely observed phenomenon of “keeping up with the Joneses.” How much of this is repressed creativity wanting recognition, and how much is it a pursuit of power obsession that reveals the influence of the interlopers?

Another observed aspect of life in suburbia is how “lonely” it is. Even more so now than fifty years ago. People can live next door to each other, and almost NEVER even see each other. Lawn services have eliminated the need to be outside for landscape maintenance, and even garage door openers mean never having to use the front door or even be seen outside carrying groceries into the house. The days of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor are all but over in most places now. Many people build their own swimming pools, and community pools have been suffering for years. Even within the house, kids are “blessed” with their own rooms, so they don’t even have to interact with their siblings and even parents that often. Can Creator comment on this?

It has been stated that as much as one-third of America’s richest farmland has been lost to suburbia or “urban sprawl.” This seems like an unrecognized yet extraordinary cost for the privilege of having to cut a quarter acre of grass every week. Couple that with the need to keep actual vegetable gardens inconspicuous in many such communities, and it seems there is something truly amiss in the American Dream of life in suburbia. What is Creator’s perspective on this, and what does this loss of arable land truly signify?

The typical suburban home is actually built for a nuclear family with at least two or more children. Yet we see some McMansions with thousands of square feet of living space, and five bedrooms and bathrooms, being owned and lived in by childless couples. At some level, this seems a bit insane. Yet it is almost becoming the norm now. The defense is that the home is not just a dwelling, but an investment. Contrast all these underutilized investments with the growing and overwhelming homeless problem in this country, and one standing back from it all has to think, “There must be a better way!” What is Creator’s perspective on all of this?

Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help us create a better and more balanced collective future for all, that preserves some of the benefits of suburban living while mitigating and even eliminating most of its adverse effects?

The Magna Carta is now over 800 years old. It arose as a negotiated deal between the King of England and barons he was in conflict with. The barons were interested only in their own rights, not the rights of common people. Nevertheless, the foundational principle that “No one is above the law, even the king” was established. From this simple beginning, English common law arose that is foundational to the rule of law, and not rule by decree. What is the divine perspective on this event, was it divinely inspired, and why is it an outcome of violent conflict, rather than simple insight and reflection?

Following the Magna Carta, the king countered against the loss of power to the barons by removing the ability to trespass against the peasantry or the common person. This seeming act of tit-for-tat retribution essentially ended the slavery of the peasant and the practice of serfdom in England. It appears this was an unintended consequence of an impasse and conflict between two orbits of political power—the monarch and the aristocracy. To what extent did divine intervention make this dramatic turn of events for the common person possible?

Since the pivotal events of the Magna Carta and the resulting protection of the peasantry, the concept of “natural law” arose. The whole notion of “natural law” and “inalienable rights” recognizes a sovereign, and in fact DIVINE status of the individual person. At this time in the middle ages, the law was little more than custom, and mostly unwritten. In most locales, only the Catholic clergy was literate and educated. As a result, judges taking up positions after the Magna Carta were mostly RELIGIOUS MEN. How much was the concept of “inalienable rights” becoming the foundation of our modern legal system in Western-style democracies circumstantial, and how much was the result of divine intervention in response to human prayer?

Assuming the divine realm was significantly behind the advent and spread of our modern legal system, how was it that the interlopers failed to notice this development, and stop it before it got significant momentum? And if they didn’t fail to notice, was their curiosity around seeing what would happen, a result of some healing they received as a result of human prayer and entreaty?

How much responsibility did this reconfiguration of the English legal system enable the birth and widespread economic and global success of the British Empire that followed on its heels?

With the creation of a truly global empire, the option to exile lawbreakers, rather than pay for their upkeep in prison, or take the objectionable step to execute them for non-capital crimes, became a viable alternative. The country of Australia started as a penal colony. What is the divine perspective of exile as an alternative to imprisonment and capital punishment?
