“…Kennedy expressed his hopes for a peace in his American University commencement speech on June 10, 1963:
‘I have, therefore, chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived--yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace.What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time…’
For the first time since before World War II, an American president took a stand against U.S. global military dominance, signaling a revolution in American foreign policy.  But by the fall, Kennedy would be dead and Lyndon B. Johnson, now president, would escalate in Vietnam beyond anyone’s imagining,”        Page 266

“… I became pure energy and realized that ‘I’ still existed even though I was no longer an individual person in my physical body.  Instead, I had merged to become one with a greater, light-filled consciousness… Simultaneously, there was a feeling of love and bliss that extended on to infinity…”
                  — Book Quote - After: p. 148
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“… John turned his eyes toward the open cargo bay door.  Wow - the beauty of the countryside was amazing.  The forest and sky were such vibrant shades of green and blue.  The different textures of color so bright and vivd, it seemed like everything was alive and calling out to him.  Instead of looking down at his body in the helicopter, he gazed outward at the magnificence.  He was free of discomfort as he became part of what he was seeing.  It was as though the molecules that made up John were moving apart and merging with the expanding molecules that made up the sky, sea, and trees.  Fully conscious, he felt only peace as he transitioned into the vast oneness of the unfolding life of the cosmos.  If this was death, it was nothing to fear.  Really, it was beyond any love he could ever describe…Suddenly, out of the blue - barbed wire.  The sight of concertina wire intruded into his awareness when the chopper flew over the perimeter of Baldy.  Instantly, John’s consciousness snapped back into his body, and once again, he was in  great distress fighting to breathe…”

**********************************************************************
“… The leading political thinkers of the day were the ones we know so well: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Thomas Paine, George Mason, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin. Their dream was to create a democratic republic, in which ultimate power rested with the citizens. Just after the Declaration of Independence assets the unalienable rights to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,’ it states: 
‘That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principals and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and Happiness…”’
“… In addition to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a shining example of the idealism that defined the era.  Ratified in 1780, it is thought to be the world’s oldest still-functioning written constitution. Drafted in part by John Adams, it inspired and informed the U.S. Constitution, forged seven years later.  Part I, Article VII, of the Massachusetts chapter reads: ‘Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.’
Government for the common good, not for the ‘profit, honor, or the private interest of any one man, family, or class of men.’
Those words don’t seem to ring true today.  Not just for those who follow politics, but for all of us.  A profound shift has occurred - one that, perhaps because it has occurred slowly, has yet to fully register as the serious crisis it is.  But it has by no means gone unnoticed…”
