Amazing footage, and amazing words from Dennis Prager (University Of Denver). What is the greatest threat to America? We have not passed on what it means to be an American to this generation…… We do not know what we stand for- that is the biggest threat.

L’Homme Arme follows his marching orders; his final tribute to freedom. In this War and Peace series we are reminded of man’s adherence to the call of duty and sacrifice. Artistic director, Alan Boyer, captures more than a military march; a march for glory becomes a march of death as we look into the face of human suffering.  What is the purpose of glory when men’s hearts begin to fail them? What is the purpose of glory when there is no one around to celebrate it with you?

I am reminded of the recent Presidential Election series, and encourage you to read the three articles posted there. When you get to the last one in the series, open the “Comments” section of that article and read my response to one of the comments. Towards the end of my response, I included the You Tube video clip of Hitler’s first speech as Berlin’s new Chancellor and hope for Germany. Its very interesting to watch and compare; pay attention to the slides and overall mood displayed in this part of the concert.

Look forward to the next article which promises to ignite your heart as you hear screams of the dying, a trumpet’s cry, and the hope of man engulfed in flames. What happens next will astound you.

I received some emails in response to my previous article, “Election Day”. I felt very honored that some of you sought to know my thoughts and opinions.

Here is one of the letters:

“As you probably already know, the elections in US are over. We have a new president coming in the first of the year. 100 million people voted and the two running were separated by 3 million votes. Nearly 50 to 50. I am curious what you think and how you see the future for America, the world, and how it may or may not affect you regardless where you live. What is this change we have been hearing for past year? And are there any other ideas you have in this regards?”

After much contemplation, here is what I said:

Thank you for your letter and your interest regarding my thoughts. You may also wish to go to the “vision” spotlight of stairwaytosecrets.com to read some of my thoughts on the matter.

So many people seek change but fail to see the historic changes, sacrifices and lessons of the past that have brought so many freedoms we should enjoy today. Perhaps there are too many “Babylonian” distractions that encourage short cuts and quick fixes, challenging the highways to wisdom, stability and growth.

In this “interactive video game” age that our children are exposed to, we wish “farmland work” ethics would still prevail. However, those exposed to “sleepwalker and ostrich” mentality, begin to borrow opinions from others without doing further investigation themselves.

Change is unavoidable (it comes with the territory). It is part of a pattern. There are those who would try to manipulate this pattern, not realizing that they are ultimately part of life’s master pattern. So, whether the winds of change bring storms or a clearing of them, these become part of a greater pattern that man cannot immediately detect.

In my opinion, I think we are heading for a storm (there are those who would argue we are in one), but I am gratified knowing (thinking positively) that the greater storm ahead will awaken the sleepwalker, so he will begin to hear the gentle whispers of life, that his forefathers once heard.

Thanks for caring to ask. What are your views?

P.S. In a concluding answer to your other question, history shows that personal ideas and opinions can be implanted, cultivated and maneuvered. It works on a gradual scale. So it wouldn’t surprise me if that scale is heading towards a united world order. Even if man’s hunger for power should create this old pattern, gratefully, the master pattern is still in charge and would manipulate the change created by man to be the foundation for greater events to follow.

This is an important day for all of us. It helps determine who we really are and what we are willing to fight for. Perhaps there are those who do not understand the fight, nor choose to be in it. It is true that there are times when we should walk away from a fight, but is this one of those times? There is always the risk of changing the desired outcome by not being involved.

The comfort zone we create for ourselves diminishes inch by inch as the world grows larger in dominion and demand. If we wish to protect our comfort zones we need to see beyond the boundaries we have created. It is beyond those boundaries that determine the stability of the foundation we have set up for ourselves.

Many great leaders chose to stay and build a worldwide foundation, leaving us inspirational messages of hope and renewal. They could see beyond their own personal boundaries by choosing to walk with future generations. So if we choose to walk away from a fight then let us choose to walk away with the rest of mankind.

Stairway to Secrets has been updated. Look at spotlights, “Art/Photo” and “Inspirational” (watch the slide presentation on “Great Quotes from Great Leaders” to see and feel beyond those boundaries).

Elect to participate on this Election Day!
