Tocqueville said: “What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything around it must also languish; when it sleeps, everything must also sleep; and when it dies, everything must also perish?” This sounds a bit like life in the rest of the universe outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Was Tocqueville discerning the motive for the divine free will experiment?

Tocqueville said: “I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.” Tocqueville seems to be seeing the dangers of complacency almost 200 years ago. What is the divine perspective on this statement?

Tocqueville said: “It’s not an endlessly expanding list of rights—the right to education, the right to health care, the right to food and housing. That’s not freedom, that’s dependency. Those aren’t rights, those are the rations of slavery—hay and a barn for human cattle.” This comment on the expanding list of rights sounds like a lot of today’s political talking points. Can Creator comment?

Tocqueville said: “Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends.” This statement seems to be both an observation on reality, as well as advice on spreading truth. What is Creator’s perspective on this statement?

Tocqueville said: “A man’s admiration for absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.” What is the divine perspective of that statement?

Tocqueville said: “He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice. He gains no practice either in discerning or in desiring what is best. The mental and moral, like the muscular powers, are improved only by being used. The faculties are called into no exercise by doing a thing merely because others do it, no more than by believing a thing only because others believe it.” This seems to be Tocqueville advocating the intentional and focused pursuit of personal wisdom. What is the divine perspective on this statement?

Democracy is only as noble as the voters. Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can heal and elevate the majority to aspire to and vote for solutions that more succinctly benefit “all” rather than simply the majority?

Levittown, NY is widely recognized as the birthplace of modern American suburbia. Levittown was the birthplace of truly “planned” communities where every detail from roads and streets, sewers, property lines, and even schools, churches and shopping is all preplanned before the first shovel full of soil is turned. At its peak, a new home was being built every 16 minutes. Mostly unskilled labor was used, and each worker was trained to do one highly specific job that they applied house to house to house. What was the inspiration involved in this development that transformed American and eventually global living for millions of people?

One of the big complaints of living in the suburbs is the mind-numbing sameness and lack of diversity in architecture. Built with economies of scale in mind, and maximization of profits for the developers, simplicity of both design and materials was the rule. While this arguably made a modern lifestyle affordable for millions of people, it comes with a cost of existing in a kind of artificial conformity that seems less than truly divine. What is Creator’s perspective on this “cookie-cutter” approach to everyday living?

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?
