| + | ==Letter VI== |
| + | Americans! |
| + | |
| + | You are now slaves to war, put there into ceaseless servitude |
| + | by less than a dozen men. |
| + | |
| + | How could this be so? |
| + | |
| + | How could this possibly befall a free people? Or had you |
| + | slept away your freedom? |
| + | |
| + | You seem to be totally powerless in the face of your |
| + | supposedly elected representatives to free yourselves from |
| + | any calamity – spiritual or natural. You can organize vast road |
| + | systems and communication systems. Have you lost your eternal |
| + | common system the human soul amid the buzzing business of |
| + | your supposedly beneficent marketplace? |
| + | |
| + | Where are you, Americans? |
| + | |
| + | The world needs you to awaken again. Your most powerful |
| + | and important political tool is your local living community. It is |
| + | the only communal vessel where you can make your personal |
| + | and collective intelligence strong enough and wise enough to start |
| + | turning the new rudderless terrifying ships of state toward their |
| + | only safe harbors of human wisdom and compassion. |
| + | |
| + | Your voice is a whisper in a windstorm of confusion until you |
| + | join it with your neighbors. If you cannot rise up in future health |
| + | together, you will all suffer toward extinction alone. For extinction |
| + | is the drumbeat now within the whole planetary family of life, and |
| + | humans are the drummers of oblivion. |
| + | |
| + | America does not mean sleeping through senseless murder. |
| + | America means love. Rise up, dear Americans. |
