REVIVAL OF YOUR DREAMS

(Editor's Note: SVC's President/CEO Phil Sutton, DBA, is the Recipient of 2023 Sir Winston Churchill Leadership Award presented by the Churchill International Society)

“Go tell that fox (Herod Antipas), ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ - Jesus (Luke 13:32)

“Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.”

—Eleanor Roosevelt, American Delegate to the United Nations & First Lady of the United States

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours...You can either be a host to God or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.” – Dr Wayne Dyer

Dealing with their Spiritual Self is so very difficult for the vast, vast, vast of People because you have to deal with who you really are and our Creator. In the Spiritual realm there can be no secrets, no proverbial skeletons in the closet. There is only you exposed for who you really are.

The Creator knows who you are and what you have done. Your record is a known quantity. The Creator has a Special Mission - a Divine Destiny - for each and everyone of us and more than anything the Creator would like you to become what you are created for, but 97% or 98% of us fail to be so.

As time has past in dealing with the American Opprobrium, I have had to take stock of my own Spiritual Life in light of what my special calling is. Having quite literally hundreds of thousands of People persecute me because of that calling has been very difficult for me – it would be for anyone - but on the other hand I have had the Creator always reminding me what the end is.

The passage from Luke 13 teaches us what our disposition must be in serving our Creator in fulfilling our Divine Destiny. If nothing else Jesus had a major advantage over the rest of us. He knew who he is and what his Divine Destiny is from the get-go.

Jesus was actually rebuking supporters when they suggested that he run and hide from Herod. That would be a natural response for almost all of us, but not Jesus. Fortunately for me, I have been blessed with the same instincts. I rather serve the Creator and others than to try to save myself for selfish gain.

If you research and study history of all those who have had a particularly Special Divine Destiny, you will discover they took a stand and did not run because they knew they were right. It does not take much courage to do what is right because if you are doing what is right, guess who supports you? Indeed, the Creator probably put them up to it just as he has with me. They too knew what the end was. They too knew right will always defeat might.

In fact, a bit later in Luke 17:32 & 33, Jesus talks about his Second Coming. He warns, “Whoever tries to keep their Lives will lose it, and whoever loses their Life will preserve it. I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and other the left.” The Creator will separate the sheep from the goats and those who are taken will flourish in Jesus' Kingdom; those who are left will be cast out.

Nelson Mandela knew quite a bit of persecution himself and never responded in kind. Perhaps, the most valuable lesson Nelson taught me is that none of us are completely good or completely evil. We are all some of both. The key question is: are you a liberator or are you an oppressor? What is your focus in dealing with others?

We both believe that will be the criterion the Creator will utilize in determining who are the proverbial sheep and who are the goats. There is no question that the goats are those who supported the Apartheid Government and did not accede to its elimination and the traitors/ terrorists of the American Opprobrium who insist on justifying their action when there can be no defense. They knew/ know nothing of the liberator's role in the Creator's Grand Design.

Wayne Dyer put it in the best way I have ever heard: “How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours...You can either be a host to God or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.” Especially for men, egotism is a real problem. Wayne's words echo in my mind every time I get unduly agitated and want to strike back.

A year ago today, I delivered the HASTINGS TRAILBLAZER DAY DECLARATION. In it, I outlined what my Divine Destiny is and what it entails. I concluded the Declaration with a quote from the American Declaration of Independence, “...we mutually pledge our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” There can be no other way.

Albert Einstein once suggested that if you want your Children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be even more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

What Einstein is driving at here is the faculties of your own mind are the most powerful thing you possess and the most powerful thing on earth. By reading your Children fairy tales, you cause them to open their imaginations to literally visualize the seemingly impossible as possible.

As Children we believed anything as possible and we were right! By the time we are Adults, most of us somehow lose that effervescent charm of our Souls. That is the reason Jesus forbade his Apostles from keeping the Children away from him and spoke to his Followers as Children just learning the ways of the Creator.

In the past, I have noted the importance of four of my favorite movies in the writing of REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM: “1776”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”, “Patton” and “Dr Zhivago.”

Before he released the film to theaters, Producer and Director Norm Jewison held a screening of Jesus Christ Superstar for Christian Pastors and Jewish Rabbis. They were unanimous in their belief that Jewison had captured the true story of Holy Week.

The scenes where Jesus is confronted by Pontius Pilate are the most helpful to this conversation:

https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=jesus+christ+superstar+with+pilate+clips&&mid=4791204165724004E2664791204165724004E266&&FORM=VRDGAR

Although not recorded in the Holy Bible, you have to know Jesus warned Pilate about who really had control over Events, stating to Pilate something to the effect, “Everything is fixed and you can’t change it.”

That's why Jesus never attempted to defend himself. He already knew that is why he came to earth and on the third day he would reach his goal!

Indeed. The climatic Events of Good Friday had been foretold centuries before and it was an intricate part of the Creator’s Grand Design for this World. Nothing and no one was going to change it!

One of the more curious Studies of Jesus’ story is the confrontation he had with the Creator the night before. Again, Jewison’s movie captures it extraordinary well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndZ6B1EaJEs

In the latter Editions of REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM, I wrote that we all have our ”Gethsemane moments” in our Lives and that is where 97% of us fail to meet our Destinies. As I stated in my 2020 Resurrection Sunday Message, most of us turn away from bearing our crosses as Jesus stated in Matthew 24:21-26:

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, LORD!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!" Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns." Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

When I finally understood this and shared it with my Readers, Jesus decided it was time to open the Third Seal as foretold in the Revelation 6:5-6:

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two poundsof wheat for a day’s wages, and six poundsof barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

The key here is that the Prophecy reads like a list of Economic transactions and terms. The Black Horseman is a metaphor for the Academic Discipline of Economics and an Economist. I fit that description all too well.

It is also significant that the first symbol mentioned is the pair of scales which are not only used to weigh products for sale, but this type of scale has always represented Law and Justice. I am known for my work in Human Rights and looking after the down-trodden the World over!

The traitors/terrorists of the American Opprobrium have sought to undermine all my Accomplishments for Human Rights all over the Globe, let alone the United States. How the International Community has reacted to this dissing is a stark message that you have to dance with who has brought you and to do otherwise is profoundly counterproductive, especially when the messages in this case match perfectly and there is a synergy that is being destroyed that all parties need to take advantage of to Achieve Universal Human Rights.

The resolution of the American Opprobrium is being made intentionally difficult because the traitors/terrorists believed the day would never come that they would be brought to Justice. The traitors/terrorists correctly perceived that Americans would not be strong enough to demand the put down of some of their heroes in Politics and the Information Age Industries, but it must be done to preserve any hope that the TRAILBLAZER TO REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM remains even remotely possible.

As Eleanor Roosevelt's quote suggests, freedom and democracy come with responsibility. That responsibility falls upon the people, not their elected officials. The whole idea of a representative democracy is that the people are stakeholders in every aspect of their country and if those elected officials are not representative of their interests, then its time for their constituency to retire them and elect someone who is. The American Opprobrium is clearly not in the best interests of the United States of America and the American People must act accordingly!

Some of the aspects that will guide my Decisions pertaining to the Final Kibosh of the American Opprobrium is the fact that I am simply sick and tired of SVC and I either being taken for granted or not being taken seriously. Those who continue the practice either way will regret it. I meant it when I said we going to discover why so many believe what they do when there is no substantiation for it!

It's amazing that SVC INTERNATIONAL VIEWPOINT has been in publication for over 23 years, we have credited many guest Authors of great renown on our pages and no one has ever questioned the legitimacy of their authorship of any of the Articles that have appeared, yet in the United States, SVC and its Publications have been successfully discredited, ignored and deemed junk.

SVC has forthrightly held itself to the highest standards of Journalism when all others haven't and has never received a legitimate complaint about what we published, including facts concerning the American Opprobrium. One would think we would have had been threatened with lawsuits left, right and center, but no such threats have ever been made because everyone knows SVC publishes the truth and only the truth!

The American Opprobrium has served as my metaphoric “crucifixion”, at least part of it. My “Resurrection” will occur in many ways but the easiest one I can explain to you right now is my return to Financial Services within the United States.

Then-Montana State Insurance Bureau Chief Jeannie Keller and then-Colorado State Insurance Investigator Angela Seaberg (both have dismissed) trumped up all kinds of vicious lies and innuendoes against me to justify disbarring an Agent of 32 years experience who never had a Consumer Complaint just like Caiaphas and company did to get Jesus crucified.

The analogy is perfect, especially when our record of Public Service and overall reputations should have saved us from our crucifixions, but did not. Instead, the Public chose Barabbas or fellow travelers who were/are known terrorists, traitors and murderers as their champion.

In my case, the International Tribunals and their Partner Federal Courts have Ruled that if I cannot be Licensed, no one can be. To that end, the States of Montana and Colorado will not be allowed to license Insurance Agents and Securities Brokers anymore.

Because the State of Colorado never intended to license me and participated in the Kushnir plot to assassinate me, it will never be allowed to Professionally License, Certify or Degree after the Opprobrium is put down. The partition of Colorado is to save all but two of its University System Schools. Without the partition, the entire Colorado University System must be permanently shut down under Colorado's own laws.

If you think this is draconian, consider what happen to the Jewish People after they had Jesus crucified. Up until 78 years ago and beginning in AD 70, the Jews were exiled from the Promised Land for nearly 19 centuries. They were restored to the Holy Land only because of International sympathy generated by the Holocaust. The Creator administered that punishment. The Almighty will be doing the same, if necessary, as the American Opprobrium is put down.

Romans 12:19-21 carries this promise: “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Of course, Jesus’ actual Resurrection is and always will be the most important single Event in history, so there will be no analogy in my case that could even remotely compare to it, but suffice it say here, the Reform that the Insurance Industry and the recreation of Insurance Companies that will carry Living Security will eliminate material need and greed to the extent that a Peaceful, not Armageddon-torn, world will await Jesus' return.

This is how the Creator works in our Lives. The most devastating Events in our Lives can often be turned to our greatest triumphs if we act in Faith and trust what the end is!

As I have noted in recent Public Presentations, the comparison between the confrontation between Jesus and Caiaphas and Osama bin Laden and myself is very compelling.

Both Caiaphas and bin Laden were the Religious Leaders; Jesus and I are the Lay Leaders. Both of Us have decried loudly how the Religious Leaders led the "Believers" astray and used that alleged rebellion against the Creator against Us and a sure sign we are not who we say we are.

As Jesus so brilliantly put it, “What sorrow awaits you Teachers of Religious Law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and scour the sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell as you yourselves are! (Matthew 23:15)

The book Dr Zhivago was written by Boris Pasternak and the backdrop in the book was the Russian Revolution. I wrote a series of Articles for SVC INTERNATIONAL VIEWPOINT and Republished in the Washington Post about how Pasternak communicated valuable intelligence to the west about the origins of the Soviet Union in his book. The Book was banned by the authoritarian regime, as was Zhivago’s Poetry in the book.

The movie version was Directed by David Lean and Dr Zhivago was the last of Lean’s renown films, following “Bridge Over the River Kwai” and “Lawrence of Arabia”. It is obvious Lean’s favorite Actor was Alec Guinness. He appeared in all three films and would later play the older Obi Won Knobi in the original Star Wars Trilogy.

All four of these movies greatly added to my appreciation and Study of History. A clip from Dr Zhivago will help explain why: https://www.google.com/search?q=dr+zhivago+video+clips+youtube&sca_esv=573484139&sxsrf=AM9HkKkgwPrq3yBgSO2TuHFvWa5pFdSFkQ%3A1697303939005&ei=g80qZQv_26bUD-PUjPAE&oq=dr+zhivago+video+clips&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiFmRyIHpoaXZhZ28gdmlkZW8gY2xpcHMqAggAMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKsCMggQIRgWGB4YHUjiWFDeBlimR3ABeAGQAQCYAYEBoAHbCaoBAzUuN7gBAcgBAPgBAcICChAAGEcY1gQYsAPCAgoQABiKBRiwAxhDwgIOEAAY5AIY1gQYsAPYAQHCAhAQLhiKBRjIAxiwAxhD2AECwgIFEAAYgATCAgUQLhiABMICChAuGIoFGLEDGEPCAgoQABiABBgUGIcCwgIGEAAYFhge4gMEGAAgQYgGAZAGE7oGBggBEAEYCboGBggCEAEYCA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:602755d9,vid:ozpct8zUA_U,st:0

Later, the Zhivagos are together and they learn that the Bolsheviks have murdered Czar Nicholas II and his entire Family. Zhivago’s Father-in-Law cries out, “What is it for?” Zhivago responds, “To show there is no going back.”

This is where I became aware of what I call Historic Time Portals. The Time Portal door shuts behind you and there is no going back. Your fate is sealed. History is how the Creator controls the major Events on this planet.

My “Inevitable March of History” Chapter and General of Semantics of History Concept in Revival of the American Dream explain this in much greater detail. I completed John Locke’s argument concerning Natural Law and how History guides the actions of Humankind in the same way that Instincts guide the behavior in the Animal World.

A contemporary understanding of this comes from Wayne Dyer’s “Divine Mind at Work” Concept and Tony Robbins’ Concept of the “Power of Decision.” Human Beings must place in their imagination an indelible Vision of what they want and Decide to Achieve it, forsaking all other alternatives. https://www.svctrailblazerpublications.com/power-of-decision

The Creator has designed us to create our own Historic Time Portals, we must decide to pursue our heart’s desire and slam that door firmly behind us so we can achieve our Divinely-Given Destinies!

Now, let’s discuss US General George S Patton. Patton, in my opinion, was the greatest combat General of all-time. His Third Army liberated more cities and towns at the close of World War II than in other army in history.

There were many reasons why Patton excelled at what he Loved to do – fight a war. That is the first one – he loved it and he had an appreciation for history, the signs of the Creator moving in his Life, and guiding him through dreams:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKWprtKwv74

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFK83klaNKE

The last clip has Patton demanding that he be allowed to fulfill his Divine Destiny. Patton often got in his own way and his perceived obstacles to that fulfillment were his own fault. This is where you must be careful.

During a war, both sides pray to the same Creator and believe the Almighty is on their side. Fortunately for Patton, he was unquestionably fighting on the right side against the Nazis. Most of the time, who is truly right is not so clear.

You will have to acquire a copy of my new book TRAILBLAZER TO REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM to learn how to discern who/what is right and who/what is wrong.

Earlier in the movie Patton, Patton refers to reincarnation with the last Five Star General in the US Army, Omar Bradley

https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=patton+you+know+who+the+poet+was%3f&&mid=5D1F321ECDBDEE891D525D1F321ECDBDEE891D52&&FORM=VRDGAR

The reason I referred to Bradley is that he was a Consultant when the movie Patton was made and he was a eye witness to many of Patton’s predilections to believing in the supernatural and questioned Patton’s mental health, just as so many have when I have discussed my Dreams and relationship with the Almighty and Jesus.

I do not Personally believe in reincarnation, but the Events and places that seem familiar to us even though we know we never experienced it ourselves can be explained by Psychologist Abraham Maslow who developed the Concept of Archetypes: the Theory we carry the memories of our Ancestors as our own experiences.

Patton had a sixth sense that represented a genuine pipeline to the Creator and he knew things were going to happen before they did. Soldiers wanted to transfer to the Third Army not only because they would win most battles, but they also knew their chances of surviving was much better under Patton’s command. Patton instinctively knew when to engage and when to withdraw. He was a genius when it came to executing battle plans that he most often drew-up himself. There has been no one better at it.

My first experience with the Creator’s omnipotence was when I Researched Revival of the American Dream. It was remarkable how the Founders of the United States of America knew not only they were making History, but they were History themselves just as Patton knew and I know now.

Repeatedly the signs that they knew who they were came through. James Madison was the most transparent with it: “We are in a wilderness without a single footstep to guide us.”

Madison and his fellow Delegates to the Constitution Convention in 1787 did not have the foggiest notion about how to Govern themselves without a monarch. It had never been done before in History. All other efforts in History to do so had failed miserably.

Madison would become the Primary Author of the US Constitution and it outlines the best form of Government ever conceived, although you have to wonder now and again.

In their Book and Play, “1776,” Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone have a scene they call “Does anybody care?” In it, John Adams just witnessed the entire South bolt the Continental Congress over the slavery issue, George Washington’s Report gives what was his typically bleak assessment of the situation against the British and actually asks the above question in it. Adams stands alone in the Congressional chamber.

In a brilliant adaption of Adam’s letter to his Wife Abigail on July 2, 1776 regarding how he believed the Independence of America would be celebrated by future generations, the Adams character sings of his Vision of the Celebration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78uBxxjFtxw

“I see fireworks!

I see the Pageant and Pomp and Parade!

I hear bells ringing out!

I hear cannons’ roar!

I see all Americans, all Americans,

Free for evermore!”

“Is there anybody there?”

“Does anybody care?”

Then the Adams character asks the stirring and Visionary question amidst all this trouble:

“Does anybody see - what I see?”

My Key Question to you: Do you see what John Adams saw in 1776 and I saw in 2002 when I first Published Revival of the American Dream?...
