There is more selfishness and less principle among members of Congress than I had any conception of, before I became President of the U.S. The government has no right to tax the labor of the many for the benefit of the few.

When it comes to politics, many Americans have become disillusioned with a system they see as corrupt, self-serving, and increasingly disconnected from the needs of the people. For many, today's government seems more focused on political power, party loyalty, and personal agendas than on serving the public.

Some voters cast their ballots for a candidate because they believe in that person's policies. Others vote against a candidate because they fear the consequences of another victory. In today's political climate, an increasing number of Americans seem dissatisfied with both parties, leaving voters to choose between imperfect options.

For those who want to end Republican control of Congress, the Democrats may appear to be the only viable alternative, despite their own internal divisions and disagreements over the direction of the party. This creates a difficult dilemma: - are voters choosing the leadership they truly want, or simply the alternative they believe offers the best chance for change?

Perhaps that is one of the greatest challenges facing American democracy today - a political system in which many voters feel compelled to choose the lesser of two evils rather than a candidate who genuinely represents their interests.

Here I am admiring this beautiful tree whose leaves are turning red. A friend took the pic after which we noticed an effect called a Solar Halo - or 22° Sun Halo - a massive, luminous ring of light perfectly centered around the sun, refracted by millions of microscopic ice crystals high above the clouds.

With this being Native American Heritage Month - the Solar Halo reminded me of the Big Horn Medicine Wheel I visited years ago when I was studying about Native American Cultures.

Life seemed simpler in those days and definitely safer as I drove through different states with Z. We were often joined by another spirt guide who told me his name was White Feather. When he showed up one would find beautiful white feathers everywhere. Now that I think about it, lately I have been finding feathers. I attribute that to birds naturally losing and replacing their feathers now as part of their late-summer and fall molting season.

Further, small white feathers seem to float by my window all the time swaying back-and-forth in front of me, especially when I have clients. Very cool.

Am I looking for a specific message from Z or White Feather? No. What they represent to me is a feeling of protection and confirmation as we move closer to closure and the knowing that what we came here to experience is soon in the sense of linear time or perhaps happened already when outside of time and we are catching up to it.
