Dear America,
I want to begin with this:
I love you.
I really, truly do.
I lived in your cities. I walked your campuses. I sat in your coffee shops, dreaming of building something that could change the world.
America was where I studied. Where I discovered my voice.
Where I fell in love with ideas that reshaped my life.
Where I started Mindvalley, with nothing but ambition and a belief that anything was possible.
For a full decade, you were my home.
And in many ways, you still are.
I may live elsewhere now, but I still identify as American more than anything else.
Because America—the idea of America—isn’t just geography.
It’s a frequency. A dream. A promise that inspired not just me, but billions of people around the world.
What we loved about you
We loved your optimism—the way you believed anything was possible.
We loved your rebels—the ones who spoke truth to power and rewrote the rules.
We loved your Martin Luther King Jr., whose voice still echoes across continents.
We loved your Silicon Valley, that dared to invent the future.
We loved your Apple, born in a garage, changing the way we connect.
We loved Burning Man, a wild celebration of freedom, creativity, and community in the desert.
We loved your poets, your scientists, your dreamers.
You were never perfect. But damn—you had soul.
You were the lighthouse.
The messy, brilliant, complicated beacon we looked toward for what was possible.
But lately… that light feels like it’s flickering.
What the world sees now
In just six months, this is what the world has seen:
– Threats to abandon NATO, the alliance that preserved peace for generations.
– Pointless trade wars where everyone loses.
– Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Treaty, while the Earth burns.
– And now—bombs falling on Iran.
Another unwinnable war in the Middle East.
A war your people swore they’d never allow again.
Not after Iraq.
Not after Afghanistan.
And it’s not just the outer world we see you destroy.
We see you tearing yourselves apart from within.
- Immigration raids that tear apart families and have caused LA to burn.
- Politicians who sound like children while openly taking bribes.
- Tax cuts for billionaires, while those struggling now actually have to pay more in taxes.
- A climate movement abandoned by the very country where it was born.
And yet—I’m writing this letter with an open heart.
Because I haven’t given up.
This week, I’m helping my son apply to U.S. universities. We’re preparing for a tour of East Coast campuses. Then, I’m driving from South Dakota to Yosemite, with stops at Mount Rushmore and the great open spaces I fell in love with.
I want to show my son America. Because I still believe in what America can be.
But I also cannot stay silent—not as a lover of your culture, not as a global citizen.
This spiral you’re in?
It must be named. And it must be stopped.
Because true friends don’t stay silent when they see you crashing.
The spiral was not a mystery. It was a choice.
Every war.
Every broken treaty.
Every erosion of trust.
It didn’t just happen. It was chosen through voting decisions.
By people who, often unknowingly, chose:
- Ego over empathy.
- Charisma over character.
- Soundbites over substance.
And I don’t blame you.
You were caught in a storm of propaganda. You were tired, misled, afraid.
But we need to be honest:
When you vote for leaders who enable war, destabilize peace, and govern through vengeance, you are not just voting for policy. You are voting for self-destruction.
What happened to service?
A great American president once said:
“Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” – John F. Kennedy
Another said:
“We must never remain silent in the face of injustice.” – Barack Obama
Even Ronald Reagan once called America a “shining city upon a hill.”
What happened to that America?
Now we see leaders who sow division instead of unity.
Who thrive on conflict rather than compassion.
Who look not to serve, but to rule.
And as Sun Tzu warned:
“Some men would set their own nation ablaze, just to be king over the ashes.”
Can you recognize them?
Because now more than ever, you must.
America, you’ve always known how to tell the story. Now it’s time to live it.
Think of your heroes.
The ones you’ve shown us on screen for decades.
Will Smith in Independence Day.
Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
They save the world, not just themselves.
They protect their families, but they also rise to a higher mission.
That’s what made us fall in love with you.
Your heroes were never selfish.
They were flawed, yes. But they stood up for something bigger.
So why, in real life, do you so often vote for the opposite?
Your vote is not just yours
I say this with love—and urgency:
Your vote doesn’t just affect your neighborhood. It affects the entire planet.
- It affects the air we all breathe.
- The treaties we all depend on.
- The peace we all hope for.
- The future our children will inherit.
This is no longer about party loyalty or economic policy.
This is about consciousness.
This is about whether the most powerful country on Earth will continue to operate from fear and ego —
Or rise into wisdom and service.
What the world needs from you now
We don’t need another American empire.
We need an American elder.
Not one who dominates. One who guides.
Not one who fears. One who serves.
Because you were never meant to be a fortress.
You were meant to be a lighthouse.
But a lighthouse cannot fulfill its purpose if it forgets to shine inward first.
You taught us to dream. Now we’re asking you to dream again.
The world doesn’t hate you.
We’re not laughing at you.
We’re just watching… and hoping.
Hoping that the America we believed in is still in there.
The next time you march in the streets,
March for all of us.
Not just for the poor or hungry in your zip code.
But for the citizens of our shared planet who need you to shine again.
And when the time comes…
Vote with your heart. And with your higher self.
The choice is yours
Not every election is a turning point.
But some are.
And the one you’re facing now?
This is that moment.
You can vote for leaders who turn the world into a battlefield.
Or vote for those who understand that true power is service.
You can choose:
- Ego or evolution
- Division or destiny
- Fear or future
The world is not asking you to be perfect.
We are simply asking you to remember who you are, at your best.
The America that marched with MLK.
That wrote the Moonshot speech.
That created iPhones, NASA, jazz, and the dream that all humans are created equal.
That’s the America we still believe in.
That’s the America the world needs.
Let that be the America you choose.

Thank you Vishen for all you do for humanity. I am truly grateful.
There are some beautiful sentiments here and your letter comes with love intentions. However I was surprised to read that you seem to accept what’s going on at face value- things like the protests, nato, the “climate emergency” narrative etc- for doing so fuels fear and division. Humanity is evolving, we are going through serious growing pains on our spiritual ascension as the old structures fall away, and everyone including leaders on all sides have a role to play. – there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than we know if we watch the mainstream news that is fed to us. Sending love to the people of America and in other places who are navigating these changes the best they can. You always have power and choices no matter how hard it seems. 💜
Vishen, I am sure this message will be buried in with all the rest. I enjoy reading others responses and thank all that have shared here. I have not shared my views with the world or responded to any social media like this letter, because I realize it will be read by people with closed minds to understanding and seeking truth. Yet, here I am responding to your letter in an attempt to plead for all to have open minds to views that differ from their own and keep seeking truth…not just from those that support your view.
First, what you share is the view of someone living in another country and hearing the views laced with propaganda from all over the world. I have many friends throughout the world stating the same views that you share and they refuse to hear any truth that does not support their view. Reframing a truth and seeing a different perspective falls on deaf ears that refuse to even engage in hearing.
Truth is, no matter what political affiliation one’s ideology aligns with, 90% of people want the same outcome of peace, love, health, clean air, affordable living to facilitate a happy life, etc. How we obtain this is where the problem lies.
We know that generations of beliefs can change our genetic DNA. This being said there are those that take refuge in being told what to do and how to do it…a mentality of giving responsibility for their choices to someone else…the doctor, social group, government rules, etc. Victim mentality that cries of what is, yet does nothing to change it. This is where many governments take advantage and squeeze the dreams out of a society through fear of noncompliance of rules, laws or social shaming.
Then you have those that refuse to give up the sovereignty of their own mind and they choose to dream, seek knowledge based in truth and use critical thinking.
Sadly to control the masses the “divide and conquer” strategy has been used aggressively for years, bringing us to where America and the world sits today. We have all been subjected to the entities that, for years, have lied about their true motives and vilifying, even destroying the truth so it does not reach the masses. COVID is a perfect example.
Only united hearts of love, seeking understanding of truth in all things will heal America and the world. Seeking truth…even using AI does NOT present truth, as it has misinformation included in its results.
Let us all lead with hearts open to hearing one another with true empathy, curiosity, and above all a loving heart.
OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE VEIL OF DECEAT.
Blessings for humanity always
Thank you for sharing. I love that beautiful letter.
Even though it looks grim right now. There is so much more good than bad in America and the world. We’re surrounded by beautiful, loving people every day. We/they are just quieter, but our hearts are loud and clear by the caring, loving, positive energy we give to our family, friends, and neighbors, which in turn pours out into the world.
America will always rise up. We all have a choice, and the majority will keep choosing from our hearts!
Dear Vishen: I read your letter and thank you for portraying the greatness of my nation. I felt how sincere you were when you described how much you love my country and why. You are absolutely right when you say we are not perfect, but we have a soul. And it is because of that soul that we do what we do.
-We didn’t really threaten to abandon NATO. We called on everybody to fulfill their financial responsibilities with the alliance, which is in the best interest of the alliance. It did work.
-We told the world we would no longer tolerate being charged outrageous tariffs while they get to enjoy the full benefits of our market at a much lower cost. While we have dozens of millions of European and Japanese cars in our country you can’t find an American vehicle in Japan or any European country. Fairness is all we want. Many agreements have been signed and there are many more in line.
-We withdrew from a totally unfair Paris Climate Treaty that was placing a huge burden on the American economy while allowing the largest and third largest contaminants in the world to continue to do so, and even increase their contamination sources. We made it very clear that we were willing to sign an agreement, but it had to be fair.
-We did not bomb the entire country of Iran. We bombed Uranium enrichment facilities that were intended to allow an oligarchy to have a nuclear bomb threatening the very own existence of Israel and many Arab countries in the region. And for that, quite a few countries have expressed their gratitude, some publicly and some in more private communications. We didn’t start a war. We are ending it, after more than reasonable time and opportunities were given to the Iran oligarchy to do what is best for world peace.
-Talking about world peace, let’s not forget the Abraham Accord, which resulted in a peace agreement between Israel and four Arab countries (UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, Sudan), with the unofficial blessing of Saudi Arabia, who was being groomed at the time to be part of the accord also. This was something the Iran oligarchy did not like and resulted in the Oct 7 terrorist attack with the support of Iran. A lot of people missed this point.
No, my friend! We are not destroying the world. We are making it a better place by making sure we have a fair relationship with other countries and by not allowing bad actors to be able to threaten the existence of other nations. That is the right thing to do!
As far as internal policies go:
-We take, by far, more legal immigrants than any other country in the world, year after year. Uncontrolled and illegal immigration is not fair for those doing it legally, and it has created a huge financial burden with a direct impact on our own citizens. I understand, as you stated in a previous message, that you don’t believe in borders (which I respect), but we do! And so do, basically, all other nations in the world. Fourteen million illegal immigrants coming into our country under the previous administration should’ve never happened. Unfortunately, among them we had all kinds of criminals that resulted in the death of many of our honest citizens. That is completely unacceptable! But it happened due to the very selfish interests of one political group. Allowing it to continue will not result in anything good for the nation. We know that by experience.
-Like all other countries, a lot of our politicians are not great. It is a never-ending problem that all nations need to combat, and, like all countries, we do our best to fight it and will continue to do so.
-Yes, billionaires don’t pay a lot of taxes. But the truth is that any taxes imposed to companies will be added to the cost of the products we consume. We will pay those taxes, anyway. Our system is not perfect but has allowed millions of citizens to grow financially, more than any other country in the history of mankind.
-Climate is an issue that must be addressed properly, in a way that is fair and balanced for all parties involved, not in detriment of one nation only (e.g. Paris Climate Treaty). Yes, we have work to do on this issue. So does the entire world.
I’m glad you are helping your son choose a great university. I wish you wisdom. Many of our great universities have been hijacked by a cadre of professors (as much as 90% in some of them) who are more interested in promoting DEI, CRT, and ESG ideology, than in imparting great education. Many of their graduates leave their campuses believing their gender was assigned and that it can be changed at will, like changing cloth. Let’s not forget that buildings are built based on mathematics, surgeries are made based on medicine, and many world problems are solved based on science. That is where the focus of great universities should be.
I understand your need to voice your opinion, and I know you understand mine. Yes, we are in a spiral, but going up, not down. We are calling things what they are and we are not staying silent about it. The nation spoke loudly and clearly across the board during our last election. If we look at all the numbers (popular vote, electoral college votes, swing states, number of states, number of counties, demography) the result was a huge mandate to change the direction in which the country had been taken in the last few years. That is irrefutable. Maybe you didn’t notice, but we were crashing then, badly, and “we, the people” voiced our desire for change. It may not be the change you suggest, but it is the change we want. Yes, we were lied to and misled, but we lived the result of our previous decision.
-Service has always been in our sight. We never forgot the words of Kennedy or Reagan, and we are doing what Obama said we should do but failed to do himself. We didn’t forget Sun Tzu either. That is why we just changed the course of the nation.
-We are living our story, our destiny. It may not be what Hollywood portrays to the world, but it is the real US, with leadership that has proven they are not there for the money they don’t need, but for the wellbeing of the nation. We understood we were all in the same sinking ship. We are making this ship float again and we are taking the ship in the right direction.
-As previously stated, our vote was loud and clear. Most of the world has expressed relief in various forums and meetings. The action in Iran is proof of our commitment for the wellbeing of our world. Not only our country, but that of friends and foes alike.
-We have proven beyond doubt that becoming an empire has never been our goal as a nation. We did not keep any of the countries we took from Spain during the Hispanic-American war, even though some of those countries wish we had. After WWII, the only land we kept from Germany and Japan was the land needed to bury our dead. History speaks clearly.
-We never stopped dreaming, and never will. That is why we decided to change the course of the nation, and we are doing it.
-We never doubted our power to choose, and we exercised that power recently.
My friend, I sincerely and wholeheartedly thank you for your concern, good intentions, and suggestions. But I must ask you to trust us, respect us (which I know you do), and allow us to chart our destiny the way we see fit. As a nation we have made many mistakes in the past, and I’m sure more mistakes will be made in the future. But in the end, we will continue to do well as a nation. Our history is proof of that.
Finally, I want to thank you for your service to the world through Mindvalley. I pray for your health wisdom so we can continue to benefit from your platform. Thank you!
Vishen, this is a wonderful and inspiring letter. It made me cry, but it also pissed me off.
I understand that the world sees the United States as you described, and it is heartbreaking. But that is only a small percentage of us. You know how the toddler who screams the loudest gets all the attention. Everyone knows the bully on the playground, while the peaceful child is often ignored. The majority of the citizens in the US are the peaceful children. It is time for a revolution, and we are waking up.
However, we need support from the world to help us and to openly and verbally stand with us. Your letter described how the US has led the world in peace, technology, the environment, etc. Please also recognize that we have been beaten down and often left helpless. Even though our government may want to isolate the US, the world has moved beyond that possibility, and there is no going back.
Just as we can not rely on our government to “do the right thing ” and must rely on the people and the citizens to stand up, the same is true globally.
We are wounded, and we need the world’s help. We need the light of the world, and collectively, we can pull out of this.
This letter is so on target!
Please pray for us.
We are of One (spirit like anything else used as a label even I, can seperate and devide!) Therefore if we think and believe as being One (not self, but all) may lay the solution! (As We have many different aspects to appreciate as long as We acknowledge We are of One!
Vishen
Thank you for being brave and speaking out. I have visited Americac I have friends there. I pray that The Voices calling for tolerance and humanity can rise above those calling for greed and power leading to destruction of people of families and of homelands. I have to mention above all else the inhumanity we are all witnessing in Gaza
We all only have a short time to live and share this wonderful planet How amazing our world would be if we could live peacefully alongside each other. May we seek leaders that hold this vision
Vishen,
I’m not American.
The American dream and the possibilities it created are like none other.
I do find your letter offensively one sided when there’s forces at play you choose not to mention that have been for decades working to erode and undermine the dream of America. I agree, America can do better, and should and can be a lighthouse, but to place the blame most squarely on the last six months is daft and beyond short sighted, either purposefully by somebody who seems to be incredibly intelligent, or naively unaware and polarized like the lower level thinkers of the world. Given your wherewithal and success, I have a hard time believing it’s the latter Vishen.
Paid protests. Globalist agendas. Centralization of power globally.
The stripping of rights globally coordinated during the pandemic.
And the list goes on for decades.
Your one sided subjective view and letter only drives the wedge in our humanity deeper.
You’re right, America is worth saving, but omitting the obvious that it has been falling for a long time, slow enough for most not to notice.
We need good people like you to bring humanity back together, and I hope you update or retract this letter because I don’t believe for a second this is what you’re about.
Vishen, thank you for putting into words what my heart has been mourning. There is immense grief over the loss of that true America. You nailed it and I hope you don’t mind us sharing this. We must rise higher and stand for not only America, but for the world.

Vishen,
I love love love Mind Valley I really do. Here is how I see things differently then you perhaps. What I truly hope for is that both sides can finally speak their truths and meet somewhere in the middle. Because right now, people are hurting. The American people are tired, tired of being taxed into the ground, tired of watching their hard earned money wasted by a government that seems out of touch. The middle class is barely hanging on, and it’s heartbreaking. This can’t keep going. We need change, and we need it now. Which is what we voted. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking to be a middle class American who plays by the rules, only to be pushed aside. I’m supporting my husband, who is truly disabled from an industrial accident and yet we’re stuck paying out of pocket for basic needs like healthcare and daily living. Meanwhile, undocumented immigrants are receiving housing, food assistance, and medical care with seemingly fewer barriers. How is that fair? We’ve worked hard, paid our taxes, and followed every law and still, we’re treated like we don’t matter. This isn’t just frustrating it’s a betrayal of the people this country is supposed to stand for.
On NATO The United States contributes significantly to NATO, covering about 16% of its common budget, which was approximately $4.7 billion in 2024. Additionally, the U.S. spends around 3.1% of its GDP on military expenditures, which is higher than the NATO guideline of 2% that many member countries aim to meet. So we are not abandoning NATO we just want everyone else in NATO to do their share.
I get the frustration with where we are right now with trade deals and tariffs. Let’s not forget the reality of the situation. Trump’s approach to trade wars and tariffs was necessary. For far too long, other countries have taken advantage of us, manipulating trade deals and undermining American industries. The tariffs weren’t just about punishing other nations they were about bringing jobs back to America, ensuring that the people who’ve built this country have a chance to thrive again. Yes, it’s been tough, but sometimes you have to play hardball to protect American workers. It’s about leveling the playing field and holding other countries accountable. While others might have been afraid to stand up to China, Trump wasn’t. The middle class has suffered under past administrations, Trump’s policies were designed to strengthen our economy, put America first, and give us a fighting chance in global trade. It’s easy to criticize tariffs when you’re not the one paying the price for bad trade deals, but the truth is, tough policies are often necessary to protect American jobs and bring fairness to the global marketplace. The reality is simple, we can’t afford to keep letting other countries take advantage of us. That’s not the America we want to leave behind for future generations.
On the middle east During his presidency, Barack Obama authorized extensive airstrikes in the Middle East, dropping approximately 26,172 bombs in 2016 alone, primarily in Iraq and Syria. His administration expanded the use of drone strikes significantly, targeting countries like Yemen, Libya, and Somalia, which led to a high number of civilian casualties. This current administration gave 60 days to negotiate they targeted nuclear facilities which were emptied knowing what was coming. The bottom line any country that has nuclear weapons and threatening to use them on the US is a Threat and should be treated as such.
On the votes, YES we finally have a voice again. For years like other countries our elections were plagued with fraud and inaccuracies. This president not only won the electoral college he won the popular vote as well. The American people have spoken loud and clear this past November. While he is not a perfect president he is exactly what this country needs again. I have seen the average Americans quality of life decline for decades and it is finally getting better.
You’re right we need an American elder. And many of us believe we had one in President Trump. Not one who dominates, but one who leads with boldness and clarity. Not one who hides in fear, but one who puts America first and isn’t afraid to stand up for its people. America was never meant to be a fortress closed off in silence. it was meant to be a lighthouse. And under Trump, that light was reignited: strong borders, strong economy, and a renewed sense of pride in who we are. Which I haven’t seen in decades. A lighthouse must shine inward first and Trump reminded us of that. That we must rebuild at home, protect our values, and care for our citizens before we can guide others. It’s not about ego. It’s about service. About strength through conviction. And about never forgetting where the light begins: here, at home. We have Americans starving in the Appalachian region and homeless in NC among many others that need help. Nothing wrong with feeding the world but lets also take care of our Citizens first.
I get what you’re saying we all have a choice between a path of division and fear, or one that calls us to something greater. Right now, it feels like the system is failing the very people who need to be lifted up. Like the America that marched with MLK or put a man on the moon, we need leaders who understand that true power is service. But too many middle class families, like mine, are struggling working hard, paying taxes, doing everything right, yet we’re left to fend for ourselves while others get handouts.
I want to believe in the America that created iPhones, NASA, and jazz. The America where everyone has the chance to live the dream. We love immigrants that come in legally. Right now, it feels like the dream is slipping away for those of us who’ve given everything to make it. We need leadership that not only understands the power of unity but acts on it and often tough choices need to be made but lets not forget those who’ve built this country aren’t forgotten or left behind.
MAGA means standing up for the values that made this country great hard work, patriotism, and self-reliance. It’s about stopping the flood of illegal immigration, securing our borders, and making sure American citizens are prioritized. Trump’s vision was simple: make America strong again, make America proud again, and make America respected again.
In closing Trumps first 100 days, he wasted no time making bold moves to fulfill his promises and set a new course for America. From his executive orders on immigration and deregulation to tax reform and judicial appointments, Trump proved he was willing to challenge the status quo. He took swift action to secure the border, initiate trade renegotiation’s, and strengthen the economy with job friendly policies. His focus on “America First” made it clear that his administration would prioritize American workers and sovereignty over globalism. Trump also made significant strides in rebuilding the military, rolling back bureaucratic red tape, and advocating for stronger healthcare reform. While critics were quick to point out setbacks, Trump’s first 100 days demonstrated a commitment to taking on Washington’s entrenched interests and fighting for the forgotten Americans who had long been ignored. He accomplished more in 100 days then the previous administration did in 4 years. If anything I am seeing more unity with the American people across cultures then I have ever see before. So lets talk peace and unity not division and hate and respectfully listen with an open heart and open mind to those that see things differently then us.
Thank you! Half of America did not vote for this either in 2024 or 2016–and many of those who did are regretting they did so. Alas, that does not change that we have over 3 1/2 years of this administration left. Keep speaking out, and resist in any way possible. May this be Europe, NATO and the EU’s time to step in, pick up the slack and shine. Blessings 🙏😌🙏💖
I thank you for this post but the issue that has been tearing at my heart which I have kept suppressed, to my shame, is the genocide in Gaza and what Israel is doing to wipe out these people. THIS is the issue which we must awaken to, that will define us as worthy humans or not. I cannot stand that my tax dollars are going to fund this genocide, that presidents both Ds and Rs were also complicit, even the ones I admire for other reasons. What will it take? This is not about being anti-Semitic because the real Jews, the ones who actually study and practice their religion, are also against what is being done in their name. Please say something about this as well. Else you are also complicit.
You spoke the truth and you honestly said it.
Amen! ! I’m in agreement with all you said. Thank you for speaking up. Many respect you and your opinion. I hope those with a different opinion hear and understand what you said. Ho’ oponopono.
I am saddened to see such a great organization as MindValley be drawn into the political propaganda of the United States. For every Yin, there is a Yang. Somehow we haven’t learned this or have forgotten it. Operative vs Speculative, Objective vs Subjective, Creative vs Standardized. The idea that we should embrace one side by repeatedly painting the other side as evil is destructive. As Rodney King once said. “Why can’t we all just get along.” If you think something or someone is evil, take a closer look. You may just be looking at yourself.
There’s more going on than people realize, especially if they get the majority of their news from legacy media. Legacy media wants to impeach Trump for bombing Iran without telling Democrats; the Administration DID tell the legislative leaders (including Democrats who actually answered their phones), and the urgency of the bombing precluded telling the full legislature, just as it did for Obama, Clinton, Nixon, Johnson, and both Bushes (but nobody cried “impeachment” for any other Presidents who made such calls). Not only that, but the “bunker busters” were targeting facilities that were much deeper than required for processing weapons-grade fissionables. You won’t hear it from any mainstream source, but they were targeting the resources of the Deep State/Cabal/Arcons that have been ruling the world for aeons. It’s no accident that the region has been in near-continuous turmoil for thousands of years; it was because any significant period of peace would have given archaeologists the opportunity to learn what lay hidden underground. So they whispered in the ears of warmongers and religious zealots to find fault in neighbors and reiigious indignation at non-conformists. Now that the power flow that kept the regime in power for decades (centuries?) is gone, Persians finally have the opportunity to freely return to the majestic, learned land they had been in ancient times.
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…”
Please avoid politics.
Beautifully said, Vishen.
When America was born, the world didn’t look on in awe — many doubted that such radical ideals could ever succeed. And yet, they did. What emerged was something extraordinary: a beacon of possibility, fueled by courage and collective vision.
But somewhere along the way, we began to forget. The original intention behind America’s creation — unity, liberty, shared responsibility — became overshadowed by fear, division, and ego.
Yes, nations rise and fall. And perhaps America as a geographic or political entity is facing a reckoning. But the dream of America — the frequency, the spirit, the soul — that still lives. That dream transcends borders.
It will be reborn — not in power or politics, but in people. In those who choose cooperation over competition, love over fear, and unity over blame. The real America is not behind us; it’s ahead of us — forged in conscious evolution and collective upliftment.
And that America… will not only survive — it will thrive. Stronger. Wiser. And lovingly fortified for generations to come.
Again someone from another country weighing in without being here and understanding what is truly going on.
