HAPPY (DIVINE) 4TH
OF JULY
One of the great miracles of history is that the
outnumbered, out classed and out financed American colonists won their war of
liberation from Great Britain, the mightiest military power in the world.
The distance of some 250 years inures most of us to the
sacrifices and misery suffered by the colonists and fighting rebels to
establish the first nation on Earth founded on human rights and freedom.
While the founding fathers were signing the Declaration of
Independence in Philadelphia on July 4 1776, Great Britain was launching the
largest expeditionary armada of ships ever sent by one nation to another up to
that time--to attack New York City. By August a strike force of over 400 ships
and more than 32,000 troops were massed in and around New York harbor—greater
than the population of New York City itself.
Britain’s generals and troops were well trained, experienced
professionals with plenty of the best support services, supplies and weapons in
the world.
America’s generals and troops were largely untrained and
inexperienced with dangerously inadequate weapons, supplies, equipment, clothes,
food and medical services. The American forces often could scarcely be called
an army with recruits regularly deserting to return to their farms and
families. Conditions were so unsanitary that small pox, yellow fever, dysentery
and every imaginable disease ravaged their ranks and were treated with minimal
medical services.
Communication and military intelligence was so slow or
inadequate that Washington and his field officers frequently had to make
strategic military decisions in a near information vacuum.
Yet, the American rebels won. How? Obviously, in a massive
endeavor like war many factors contributed to their success. Historian David
McCullough in his brilliant history, 1776,
observed, “Without Washington’s leadership and unrelenting perseverance, the
revolution almost certainly would have failed.”
But Washington and many of the Founding Fathers repeatedly attributed
a good deal of their success to “Providence," "Divine intervention,” etc. Nice platitudes of the faithful? Perhaps, but the
colonists knew something was “up.” They began to accumulate countless tales of
sudden massive storms and changes in winds and currents that thwarted British
ship and troop movements, fog banks that hid colonist troop movements, bright
moons that eased dangerous night maneuvers and on and on and on.
McCullough describes one such amazing “intervention” when
Washington was desperately trying to organize a quiet escape (from an
overpowering British force) of 9,000 of his troops from Brooklyn to Manhattan
in the darkness of night. Despite every
effort to keep things moving quickly and quietly, the exodus was not moving
fast enough.
“Though nearly morning, a large part of the army still
waited to embark, and without the curtain of night to conceal them, their
escape was doomed. Incredibly, yet again, circumstances—fate, luck, Providence,
the hand of God, as would be said so often—intervened.
“Just at daybreak a heavy fog settled in over the whole of
Brooklyn, concealing everything no less than had the night. It was a fog so
thick, remembered a soldier, that one ‘could scarcely discern a man at six
yards distance.’ Even with the sun up, the fog remained as dense as ever, while
over on the New York side of the river there was no fog at all. In a single
night, 9,000 troops had escaped across the river. Not a life was lost.”
Narratives of the Revolutionary War and the founding of
America abound with stories of similar “wonders.” Those who read these blogs
know that St Germain has told us we need not wonder if these were divine
interventions. Many were.
America, he says, is under divine protection. It was
inspired by the divine realms to bring We consciousness to the world through a
government of the people by the people and for the people. “America is the hope
of humanity. It is the wayshower for the rest of the world. The oneness destiny
of America reflects the oneness destiny of the world.” (St Germain is
humanity’s guide for the new 2000 year spiritual age which began in 2012 as
Jesus was the guide for the last 2,000 year age.)
Many citizens fear that our current president, Donald Trump,
represents a threat to our democracy and will put our divine destiny at risk.
Trump’s autocratic behavior, says St Germain, is serving as a “wake-up call” to
the citizens of America who have taken our democracy and freedoms for granted
as half don’t even bother to vote. It is this failure to take responsibility
for our democracy, he tells us, that has put an autocrat like Trump in power
and put our freedoms and democracy at risk.
The same divine energy that inspired our Founding Fathers
and those who fought for America’s independence, St Germain says, is
inspiring a new generation of Americans to Re-found America, to re-establish
the We consciousness that inspired the creation of our country. We see evidence of this in the demonstrations
of women seeking to restore the balance of feminine and masculine energy in
this country. This imbalance, he says, has caused war, destruction,
confrontation and much of the misery of the human race--and it is coming to an
end.
All is in divine order. Happy 4th of July!
