The People Of The United States of America
Dear Americans,
The United State of America is a country that symbolizes wholeness, togetherness and unity, not just for the American people, but for the entire world.
Today, we're all immersed in selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
As Americans, you pride yourselves on your political and economic models.
Yet with respect to politics, are you united or are you divided along party lines? And with respect to economics, are you united or are you divided into different social economic groups?
The question is quite simple: Are the people of The United States united into one state? The answer is no, you're not. You're divided against each other in many ways.
The answer won't come from politics or economics, it will only come from connection. Connection transcends everything including politics, economics and geographic boundaries.
You have to connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration. You have to rise above our egos and seek to benefit others instead of yourselves. Only in this way will you live up to the name of your country and become a united people.
The Constitution of The United States speaks only about our internal qualities.
The right to bear arms doesn't mean to carry weapons to protect yourself against other people. It means to bear arms against your ego to protect other people against yourself, your ego.
In this way, you become free, free of your ego and free to bestow to others. This is the security of a free state.
The American influence is felt all over the world, in politics, economics, film, television, music and culture.
Is your influence positive and constructive, or is it negative and destructive? Are you seeking to benefit others, or are you pursuing your own selfish interests?
The pledge of allegiance of the United States, which reads, " ... one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all", doesn't just apply to the United States, it applies to the entire world.
You should know that all people are equal. No one is greater than or lesser than the other.
Instead of thinking that you're the greatest nation in the world, you should see yourselves as part of a worldwide family. In this family, everyone is equal. Different members may play different roles, but all are equal before God.
You may be wondering what authority I have to write to you about the developments in your country. Know this: I may not be an American citizen, but I am The United States.
May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide you, may He lead you and may He show you the way. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
God bless all of creation and God bless the entire world.
God bless you and God bless The United States of America.
Carter
