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?

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?

Having reviewed the likely heavy divine influence behind the creation of our modern legal system, how concerned should we be collectively at the growing secularization of our legal system? Is the entire concept of the “inalienable rights” of the individual in jeopardy as a result?
