Americans are evolving into a more enlightened country! However, many of us suffer from anxiety, fear and disappointment because that is the way human beings wake up to reality.
As an enlightened people, we become role models for positive change. We don’t need everyone to understand that we are experiencing “spiritual warfare,” good vs. evil. The enlightened people stop tolerating a few leaders who seek power and control as they decide America’s fate. Spiritually aware Americans are the “tipping point” who get involved to advance freedom for everyone. Change is the ability to see the difference between right from wrong.
What will happen in an enlightened future?
Media – The media gains credibility as they broaden their focus beyond, “if it bleeds, it leads” and making “stars” out of puppets. As we evolve the media will focus on debating both sides of an issue and exposing corruption. Media commentators insist on honesty and accuracy.
Religion – Religious leaders have a united message about the “power of the human spirit” to overcome adversity. 450,000 religious organizations make “Love thy Neighbor” a priority. Americans see the importance of caring for children growing up around them. Self-aware citizens become “peacemakers” and get involved to create peaceful neighborhoods.
Schools – Freedom allows school choice which improves all schools. Teachers designate a “slow down” time for students to calm themselves so they can focus on emotional health and learning. Students and parents offer recommendations and volunteer to help.
Families – Families no longer tolerate abuse at home. Families know we are all spiritual beings with undiscovered talents and need to support each other. Involved families prevent children from running away, being sex trafficked or engaging in self-harm. Children don’t escape into drugs, crime or violent behavior. They become self-aware as parents teach courage, character and how to develop a self-protective conscience which keeps children safe and healthy.
Neighborhoods – Neighbors work together for self-preservation, safety and a healthy environment. They know that “united we stand, divided we fall.” Neighbors don’t feel powerless as they voice concerns and work together to improve neighborhood safety. Struggling neighborhoods receive support from community outreach “Peacemakers.”
Community – Community leaders are not corrupted by government money because they are spiritually self-aware. Leaders implement educational programs to strengthen families and neighborhoods. They set up training centers and programs for “peacemakers” to support and empower struggling neighborhoods which strengthens families, especially children, who need involved, caring places to grow strong to become self-reliant and resilient.
Cities – Citizens know that power and money can corrupt leaders. Politicians have term limits to prevent self-serving payoffs! Americans elect city leaders to higher office because they know their character and how they evolved from the community. Experience taught leaders how to negotiate, work with and respect others. Good or bad behavior is exposed by the media which becomes evident when “we the people” become spiritually self-aware and trust our instincts to evaluate candidates. We don’t trust promotional messages or crafty words. Past behavior exposes true character!
When Americans tap into their inner power and get involved, we will see progress and expand freedom for our children and the future of America.
What do you think? Does America have a spiritual crisis? Will these predictions come true? Will Americans get involved and work together to make their neighborhoods and communities safer and healthier for children? YOU decide!

Comment from one of our readers:
Just read this and you’re living in a dream world. You should see the horrible stuff now going on in Alameda and Oakland. Our dear Chinese friends are scared and they live in the beautiful Alameda condos right on the water as we do. She walks her Shiba near the Oakland YC which is now full of homeless, drugs and the motel near the YC where I’d once put up LV people who came to have fun with us on our boat, is full of battered women. Their “others” come, hide in bushes trying to find them. It’s frightening. I’m trying to get Karen and Andy to sell their place and move out here. They spend a good deal of time now in Occidental
At the shopping center at the end of Park St in Alameda, there is a daily shooting or robbery. I used to enjoy shopping there at Kohl’s and Ross but no more. You think everything is going to be wonderful
Get more realistic like when you saw the bums on the 5th in Oakland. Do-gliders are fighting an expensive lost cause
You should also talk to Sheryl and my dear friends from No LV. Lots of crime. Sheryl is tearing her hair out having to deal with really crummy mother’s and students from various areas down there. You think it will change. It won’t She has been there 30 years and seen horrible changes that these Dems have permitted. Frightening
Take care

Our Response:
Dede, You missed the point! I’ve been a crime and violence prevention specialist for 40 years and I’ve seen the worst of the worst. Americans are finally waking up! I am excited to tell you that my contacts are calling their representatives to stop the border crossing of unaccompanied children. I am working with child sex trafficking in LV and they are saving kids. I work with national networks to strengthen families on zoom and work with 3 Professional coalitions across the country. I know you and many others, see it first hand which is the way people wake up and see the need for change. The way you change it is to get involved, that is the point. For example, the article prompted several people to call their representatives about kids and other concerns. Some people decided to join groups helping families or the homeless to learn more about what they can do. Awesome people getting involved. Just got off a zoom call from Mobile AL with 32 professionals and activists. “We the people” can change the future, but people have to take a piece of the action. Government can’t do it for us. Many younger people don’t have a clue or even know what the past even looked like or know that they have the power to change.
Stay safe, Stephanie
P.S. Imagine what 463 churches in Oakland could do if they decided “Love thy Neighbor” was important!
Thank you so much, Stephanie. Your article, as usual, hits home and hits the spot. My only suggestion for improvement (tongue-in-cheek) is to change “PREDICTION FROM AN AMERICAN GREAT GRANDMOTHER” to “PREDICTION FROM A GREAT AMERICAN GRANDMOTHER.” Why? Because you’re way too young to be a great-grandmother!
