Question: I am worried about the division here in America and have wondered what it will take to unify us. It appears a crisis or tragedy might be an avenue and I am not wishing for one but I realize for example the 9-11 attacks and Pearl Harbor brought the country together. Albeit both events subsequently also brought forth government actions that were harmful such as the Patriot Act bringing restrictions on privacy and expanding government powers and the internment of Japanese Americans into camps and taking away their homes and businesses. Is my observation correct and is there a more positive and immediate resulting situation that can arise to bring us together that is not the result of violence and attack using the military, discrimination and such?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 American webinar.
I have already covered this topic in greater depth in my dictations but I will say that it is clear that these dramatic events – whether it is 9-11 or Pearl Harbor – were precipitated by the fact that there was not a critical mass of people who were willing to get the lesson in an easy way. They were not willing to use their intuition, they were not willing to think more deeply about what could bring the nation together, what could bring the nation to the next step.
It was this unwillingness to think more deeply that manifested the outer crisis so that people were faced with a condition they could not ignore. You will see in all people—not just Americans but certainly also very pronounced in Americans—that they will tend to ignore situations, ignore the need for change as long as possible. You can look back and see that in these situations if something had been done earlier perhaps things would have gone very differently and the nation could have learned its lesson in a more constructive way. And it is of course the exact same thing today. It is really a matter of recognizing that there are certain situations where a nation can be covered in this black cloud as we have talked about where people are blinded. In retrospect when you look back it is very easy to see the need for change but at the time, people could not see it because they were in blindness, in denial and they thought that: “Oh we do not really need to change current conditions, it can go on.”
It is the same with the division in the political life of America. It obviously needs to change but many people are in such denial about it or feel so powerless to do anything about it that they are just ignoring the need for change thinking somehow it will be okay, somehow it will work itself out. But when you look back at the current political situation 10 or 20 years from now many people will see that it was obvious that something needed to be done. And yet what needs to be done is that people awaken to realize that this climate is not what we want. This is not the kind of nation we want to live in and it is not in the best interest of the people that we are so divided because it only benefits the elite. There will come a time where people will look back and say: “But it should have been obvious that the people needed to restrict the elite. Why was not it done? Why could not people see it at the time?”
