1. Male/Female Balance in World Politics
The Death of Macho
Question:
When will we see a more even balance of male and female leadership in positions of political and economic power?

ANSWER:
Dear Ones, there is a need in these days to see "All as One." In the separation of egos regarding Male/Female leaders there is a danger that those who would lead the best will not step into a fight of competition. Their Loving qualities simply will not allow them to make this encounter.
This statement, born of ego and fear, sets aside female as passive and male as powerful. What truly is power? What makes a good leader? Leaders are born of the need to do something about problems that can be solved to have a better world. This does not take aggressiveness but understanding born of Love!
In these times, to not have the best leaders who can think well, not only of themselves but of the whole, is a danger. This danger is that those who would be the best and lead in the highest ways will be lost to the negativity of "ego thinking." Unfortunately, when this is so, those who would lead with passion and Love disappear from the systems that would call them forth to lead.
In today's world, there are many who would step forth and lead the world out of chaos. But the nature of these is to pass by the chaos! For, they do not have to fight to prove themselves to be good leaders. They are, by their personal "designs", good leaders and they know this is so.
They have nothing to prove for ego.
These leaders are ones who can look at the "greater good for all." They can discern what this is and simply step into the movement without drama and fanfare.
Children, Pay attention, not to those who brag, but those who speak from their hearts. Support those who would say, "I am here to serve" and who stand forth in simplicity. They have nothing to prove. There is no ego!
Women in politics have a particular gift to give. It is that they understand how to nurture and grow things. This is a gift of their very souls with rare exception.
When the world is dying from lack of Love, women have a lot to give. They are often natural leaders. They understand "Birthing and Life." In a world,struggling to survive and grow, women are ones to nurture easily. This gift is one to share with all who will listen and support.
Do not give the "egos" your vote. Look to the feminine gender to give what is natural to them, as a part of their leadership. All will bid well in doing so.
What changes in the world can result in this turning? To be ones to listen to one another, to be present with the need for "all to win," and to Love because Love is the way of Peace.
Go in Peace and Love.
News Article:
The era of male dominance is coming to an end. Seriously. For years, the world has been witnessing a quiet but monumental shift of power from men to women. Today, the Great Recession has turned what was an evolutionary shift into a revolutionary one. The consequence will be not only a mortal blow to the macho men's club called finance capitalism that got the world into the current economic catastrophe; it will be a collective crisis for millions and millions of working men around the globe.
The death throes of macho are easy to find if you know where to look. Consider, to start, the almost unbelievably disproportionate impact that the current crisis is having on men-so much so that the recession is now known to some economists and the more plugged-in corners of the blogosphere as the "he-cession." More than 80 percent of job losses in the United States since November have fallen on men, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the numbers are broadly similar in Europe, adding up to about 7 million more out-of-work men than before the recession just in the United States and Europe as economic sectors traditionally dominated by men (construction and heavy manufacturing) decline further and faster than those traditionally dominated by women (public-sector employment, healthcare, and education). All told, by the end of 2009, the global recession is expected to put as many as 28 million men out of work worldwide.

2. What to Do About a Bankrupt Health Care System
Insured, but Bankrupted by Health Crises
QUESTION:
Even some people with health insurance coverage are finding that they have to file for bankruptcy due to high medical bills. Is there a simple way to fix the high cost of medical treatment?
(See the New York Times article published on July 1, 2009 link below.)
ANSWER:
There is in the USA a need to examine the reasons that those who pay taxes and work hard, are prejudiced against.
When a nation allows its citizens to suffer, the nation as a whole suffers as well. There is nothing so debilitating to a country as having its citizens shackled by abuse.
Allowing the country to ignore its wealth. . .its citizens, is to bring "slipping away of dignity" to all citizens. No one avoids this loss of dignity under these circumstances.
A neighborhood that is torn apart by anger, is a blight to all. Hospitals full of "the ill" who have no resources, is a blight to all! Look at a society that allows only the privileged to live well and one looks at a country in demise!
To solve the health care trauma in the USA is not really that difficult. To consider that illness is a blight on the whole country, not just on an individual and his family, is to see the truth of this situation. Illness represents failure to the whole country and its citizens.
Citizens who are not well can not add to the society and economy in any way. Further more, when one is ill, there is little he can do for anyone but himself as he tries desperately to recuperate. This attempt to recuperation is often under dire circumstances which elongate the healing.
When a unit in a society is under strain it becomes a "non producing unit." It can not care for itself! It requires assets that are have been in deficit for a very long time. Multiply this by thousands, and the country and its citizens suffer greatly. Prolonged illness, and the resulting strain, costs a lot to the society as a whole.
How do we as a country avoid this truth? It is to understand that a healthy, happy citizen base is a valuable commodity to the country as a whole. It contributes!
What would happen if those who were ill were cared for without cost?
What would happen if those who are well, were given rewards for staying that way?
This concept supports wellness and takes care of those who have succumbed to illness. The idea is that "those who would try very hard to take care of themselves and stay well" would be rewarded.
It is a truism that when one sees himself as well, he has a much higher chance of being so. He pays attention to his wellness in many ways that avoid the high medical bills that can occur. Good nutrition, good exercise, attitudes that see the best in one's life, not the worst. . .these all contribute to good health.
Rewards given to citizens who maintain healthy life styles would spur citizens to care for themselves better and stay well.
Those who do become ill, would have not only have medical care, but also counselling about wellness, to prevent a high return to medical intervention.
Good Health is often an attitude. It is an attitude that avoids stress. It is an attitude that comes to one that "being well is not only enjoyable, but rewarding!" Once this attitude becomes a large part of the population's consciousness, it will be a part of the culture! Costs will go down and the citizens will be much more productive!
In this situation, ALL WIN!
Go in Peace and Love.
NEWS ARTICLE:
Health insurance is supposed to offer protection - both medically and financially. But as it turns out, an estimated three-quarters of people who are pushed into personal bankruptcy by medical problems actually had insurance when they got sick or were injured. And so, even as Washington tries to cover the tens of millions of Americans without medical insurance, many health policy experts say simply giving everyone an insurance card will not be enough to fix what is wrong with the system. Too many other people already have coverage so meager that a medical crisis means financial calamity. One of them is Lawrence Yurdin, a 64-year-old computer security specialist. Although the brochure on his Aetna policy seemed to indicate it covered up to $150,000 a year in hospital care, the fine print excluded nearly all of the treatment he received at an Austin, Tex., hospital.
He and his wife, Claire, filed for bankruptcy last December, as his unpaid medical bills approached $200,000.

1. Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting
If West Antarctic Ice Sheet Melts How High Will Sea Levels Rise?
QUESTION:
It now appears that the Wilkins Ice Shelf, on the West Antarctic Peninsula, is in danger of melting and breaking up. This could mean that sea levels will rise considerably. How long will this take to happen, and what will be the ramifications for the peoples of the earth?
ANSWER:
Dearest Children, be ones to know that such as this occurrence is not that which is unusual in the history of Earth plane.
There have been such as these adjustments for a very long time as Earth "rocks and rolls" through the solar system.
As a matter of fact, there would be more to worry about if she did not make these periodic adjustments. She is one to turn on her axis as she goes around her orbit. And when the surface shifts because of her movement, the axis must adjust to keep balanced and in orbit.
There is a need for the crust of Earth's surface to adjust as well. As Earth moves around her axis, and moves through her orbit the surface shifts. Therefore, the pole must adjust as well. If this were not so, Earth would not stay in orbit and everything on Earth's surface would die with this shift of position.
There has recently been a shift in the North pole's position of 15%, to the northwest. It completed approximately one and a half years ago. The surface has adjusted through volcanic action, earthquakes, and ice adjustments. There is still surface shifting, for balance, happening, and this Antarctic ice melting, is one of them. Without this adjusting on the surface there would be a shift in Earth's orbit, as the momentum of Earth's out-of-balance weight threw her into a new position.
The ice melt will not be comfortable for everyone on Earth's surface. Water will inch up in some places, and will retreat in others. The good news is that this "inching up and down" of water will be gradual. And this will allow those affected to make adjustments in their lives.
As far as how far will the oceans rise regarding this current ice shelf melting in Antarctica? It depends on how much sun evaporation occurs. If the sun is in a position of it's highest solar effect, there will be evaporation. Then there will be more rain, the water will be distributed more evenly over the surface of Earth, and away from the ocean's shores.
If the evaporation is slower, because of the sun's lower exposure and heat, the rise in the shorelines will average about 10 feet. As you can see, this makes adjusting ones life, if living along the world's shores, a necessity. But, this is far better than throwing Earth's orbit out of it's current track and destroying everything on Earth's surface.

News Article:
The Christian Science Monitor published this story on May 15, 2009.
If West Antarctic Ice Sheet melts, how high will sea levels rise?
Jonathan Bamber scans his audience - a mix of young scientists-in-training and graybeards - and asks: "If I melted the West Antarctic Ice Sheet tomorrow, how much would sea level rise?" The answer he typically gets, he continues, ranges from 5 to 7 meters (16 to 23 feet). After all, this has become a kind of canonical range well-grounded in the scientific literature, right? Not so much, it turns out. And therein lies some of the backstory to a study by Dr. Bamber and his Dutch and British colleagues that appears in Friday's issue of the journal Science. Monitor colleague Moises Velasquez-Manoff has summarized the results here. But if you want to give your web browser a rest, here are the bullet points:
- If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) melts, global average sea levels would rise by 3.3 meters. That's down significantly from the typical estimates. But it still represents an immense creeping disaster, direct and indirect, for more than than 3.2 billion people worldwide who live within 200 miles of a coastline.
- The East and West Coasts of North America would see increases 25 percent higher than the global average, Bamber told an audience in March at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. With a wry grin, he asked the group: "Do you believe in karma?" (India's coasts would see such higher-than-average effects as well.)

2. Moratorium Requested by AMA on Genetically Foods
The American Academy Of Environmental Medicine Calls For Immediate Moratorium On Genetically Modified Foods
QUESTION:
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine recently called for a moratorium on genetically modified food. Would it be best if genetically modified foods were banned altogether?
ANSWER:
Dear Ones, there is a truth about genetically modified foods. It is that: There is no similarity in the energies of foods that are genetically modified and those of "natural growth."
The "foot print", or energy patterns of natural foods, are totally different from those that have been genetically modified.
Food does not give nutrition to the body, if the energy (foot prints) are not natural (evolved), to the one ingesting the food.
The bodies of both man and animal recognize what is needed in food for their health. Through their bodies identifying the energy patterns of the food and selecting for these foods, they stay healthy.
This factor is why those on earth do not all eat the same foods. Each species' bodies recognizes those foods that contain the correct energies for it's own, specific nutrition. For this reason, all species evolved, do not want to eat potatoes, or grass, or meat.
Each species has developed it's body to carve out a special niche in the environment of Earth. This niche for food is identified by what makes the body feel nourished in each species. Specific energy, in food, is the answer to this species determination and selection for good health.
Genetically modified food may look and smell like the natural foods of a species but this is not true! The genetically modified foods do not contain the specific energy requirements (foot print) of a species nutritional requirements, through it's evolution. Gene splicing will never give proper nutrition, and health, to any species that has adapted itself to an environmental niche.
So, the answer is, "YES"! Banning genetically altered food permanently is a very good action to pursue.
It is much better to spend science on discovering better farming techniques and in enhancing natural seed's growth and production. This will solve the problems of world hunger. Genetic alterations, for growing more food production, will not!
World hunger will be solved by genetically altered foods in only one way. It is by the lessening of the population count! Illness and death resulting from poor or no nutrition will accomplish this end, if genetically altering foods is not stopped!
Go in Peace and Love.

The American Academy Of Environmental Medicine Calls For Immediate Moratorium On Genetically Modified Foods
Wichita, KS - The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) today released its position paper on Genetically Modified foods stating that "GM foods pose a serious health risk" and calling for a moratorium on GM foods.
Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes "there is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects" and that "GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health....

3. Supreme Court Ruling About DNA Tests for Convicts
Justices Rule Inmates Don't Have Right to DNA Tests
QUESTION:
The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that convicts do not have a right under the Constitution to obtain DNA testing to try to prove their innocence after being found guilty. How does Higher Guidance see this ruling?
ANSWER:
Children, there is a truth to be understood in this ruling. "This decision is shame making", for these "August Judges". They do not see, nor understand, the simplicity of the Law. The Constitution of the United States specifically says that, "All Shall Have Equal Treatment Under the Law."
To prejudice against prisoners, as having less right to use scientific evidence, when other citizens have this right, is specifically adverse to the Constitution of the United States.
To be specific, to single out a population and take away its rights, that have been given to other citizens, is an indication that these Judges do not understand a basic intention of the Constitution of the United States!
One needs to understand that the Supreme Court is only to give "Order to the Law." They are not the "Supreme Authority" regarding the Laws of the United States.
The Voters-Citizens of the United States of America are the supreme law! All actions by the Supreme Court are subject to the Voters. When such a decision is made, the voters can change the decision by going to their Congressmen and Women and demand that a law be specifically passed to preserve the rights of these men and women. That prejudice in any form will not be tolerated through an "Unfair and Unaware Ruling" by the Supreme Court.
It is important for all citizens to understand that they are the "Supreme Law of the Land" by their votes! To ignore such as this ruling is to take the chance that in the future these "uninformed, prejudiced Judges will decide to prejudice against the Voters themselves!

Justices Rule Inmates Don't Have Right to DNA Tests
WASHINGTON - Convicts do not have a right under the Constitution to obtain DNA testing to try to prove their innocence after being found guilty, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday. In a 5-to-4 decision, the court found against William G. Osborne, a convicted rapist from Alaska. But the decision does not necessarily mean that many innocent prisoners will languish in their cells without access to DNA testing, since Alaska is one of only a few states without a law granting convicts at least some access to the new technology.
"DNA testing has an unparalleled ability both to exonerate the wrongly convicted and to identify the guilty," the majority conceded, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. "The availability of new DNA testing, however, cannot mean that every criminal conviction, or even every conviction involving biological evidence, is suddenly in doubt." In addition, the majority reasoned, it is not so much up to the federal courts as it is to the state legislatures to establish rules "to harness DNA's power to prove innocence without unnecessarily overthrowing the established criminal justice system."
The majority appeared to have been influenced by the fact that 46 states and the federal government have enacted laws that allow some inmates access to DNA testing, and there is nothing to prevent the remaining states from changing their laws. In addition to Alaska, Alabama, Massachusetts and Oklahoma do not explicitly allow the testing. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote a dissent expressing his dismay that the majority had chosen to approve of Alaska's denial of the evidence sought by the defendant. "The DNA test Osborne seeks is a simple one, its cost modest, and its results uniquely precise," Justice Stevens said.
