A viewer asks: “How do we keep children, who don’t like to be physically active, interested in things outside since many children today are not involved in farming, fishing, chopping wood for use in a fire, etc? Children who do like to be active, have tons of sports…and other activities to keep them going 24/7, such as amusement parks or activity centers with cycling, climbing, swimming, the list goes on. What about all the children who don’t like any of this? The ones who probably would have loved to be more practical with hands-on tasks, getting mucky and dirty, splashing about for no other reason than to be doing it? How do we find things for them to do in today’s world?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French aristocrat, diplomat, political scientist, and historian, known for his work Democracy in America written after his travels in the United States in the early 1800s. Wikipedia says of Tocqueville: “Tocqueville was a classical liberal who advocated parliamentary government and was skeptical of the extremes of democracy.” With the current unrest and deep polarization in the United States, American democracy is facing its severest test since the Civil War. Can Creator share the divine perspective on Tocqueville, his work, and the extent to which it embodies divine truth and is a product of divine inspiration?

Tocqueville said: “Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” What is the divine perspective of this statement?

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: “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?

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?
