"All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride legitimately, by the grace of God." Thomas Jeffersonin this last letter before he died exactly 50 years after he signed The Declaration of Independence.

 

3rd News of 02-11-2011:
Celebration of the
First Desires of the People Attained!

 

Third "news" I received today was that the Egyptian people are celebrating a victory! They got the first thing they are asking for. Their President finally resigned! There is a great celebration going on now. I am joining it.

 

My partner, Marimar, follows the world news and has been following the news that started with the tragic burning and death of a young Tunisian man;  "It started with a young man who acted out of desperation after police confiscated the fruits and vegetables he sold without a permit. Mohamed Bouazizi was a 26-year-old university graduate without a steady job, trying to support his family."

 

Young Bouazzi's death "…shocked the North African nation and sparked protests over unemployment that have led to at least three deaths. For decades, Tunisia has promoted itself as an Arab world success story, a place where the economy is stronger than in neighbouring countries, women's rights are respected, unrest is rare and European tourists can take stress-free vacations at beach resorts."

 

"… recent protests have exposed a side of Tunisia that the country has long tried to hide: the poverty of the countryside, poor job prospects for youths and seething resentment at the government of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who has ruled Tunisia with an iron fist since 1987."

"But the opposition says the government's response has been inadequate and that the protests are fuelled not only by unemployment but by the lack of human rights. The protests “show a profound crisis and illustrate a pressing need for change that would bring a return of confidence to citizens so they can lead lives that are free and dignified in their homeland”, said Nejib Chebbi, founder of the Progressive Democratic Party."

 

 

Saleena:  This young man's death jarred his people out of their trance and stimulated them to work together in protest for changes in their country. "His death sparked an uprising and led to Tunisian President Ben Ali fleeing the country after 23 years in power." They took inspired courageous actions which rewarded them with the step-down of a tyrannical leadership and a new opportunity to improve their lives. This set a precedent for others to follow.

 

Spark Ignites Egypt;
Power of the People

 

Their success then ignited a spark in Egypt; where they have been under the rule of a difficult regime, and began a determined Revolution being carried out by the common people as peaceful demonstrations in Liberation Square.

 

After Tunisia, ‘electrified’ Arab world
sets sights on brewing revolt in Egypt

By Daniel Tencer Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 — 6:44 pm 

 

"In a sign that an "electrified" Arab world has been inspired by the events in Tunisia to rise up against their governments, opposition leaders in Egypt have called for an open revolt in the country on January 25. The US branch of the National Association for Change, an umbrella group of activists led by former IAEA chief Mohamed El-Baradei, issued a statement on Tuesday "urging all Egyptians to take to the streets on January 25th to protest the deteriorating conditions caused by the dictatorial Mubarak regime."  

"That "sense of hope and optimism" was also detected by New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid, who told Democracy Now! that the revolt in Tunisia "has electrified people across the Arab world … mainly for that prospect of change, that change can actually occur in a lot of countries that seem almost ossified at this point."

 

Saleena:  Another amazing thing is that it was organized online with Facebook, Blogs and Twitter as part of their communications and Wikileaks sharing fuel for inspiration. Even when the rulers shut off the internet for awhile it didn't stop them from moving towards the fulfillment of their  intentions for positvie change.

 

"It's may be a sign that the revolt in Tunisia and brewing unrest across the Arab world may also be part of a "youth uprising" that trends analyst Gerald Celente said last week would come to fruition in 2011. Young people from industrial societies around the world will unite on the Internet to overthrow increasingly ineffective elements of globalism that have driven their economies into depression, Celente said. "[The Internet is] exposing the corruptness, the ineptitude and the double dealing going on that [governments] don't want the public to know about," he told RT." 

 

Saleena: I track a different kind of news; the Energetic, Galactic and Universal news, so I love to hear Marimar's summaries of what is happening politically as he weaves it into a greater perspective with what is happening around the Earth energetically, scientifically, technologically at the same time or preceding events. He gives it an expanded view. That is what I like to pass on to you.

 

In Egypt, what has impressed us is the way the people have been so careful to remain firm yet peaceful, even with some horrible confrontation and opposition. The only actions of aggression we have seen were against them and when Molotov cocktails and rocks were being thrown and they threw them back, returning the energy to those hired to stop them. What is exciting to me is that people are seeing through these actions and calling it what it is;  the Regimes tactics to stay in control. They aren't being fooled anymore.

 

Here is a YouTube video made by
three young men in Egypt:

A solidarity protest song titled
Sout al Horeya, 'The Sound of Freedom',
by Moustafa Fahmy, Mohamed Khalifa, and Mohamed Shaker.

 

"I went down and I said I am not coming back,
and I wrote on every street wall
that I am not coming back.

 

"All barriers have been broken down,
our weapon was our dream,
and the future is crystal clear to us,
we have been waiting for a long time,
we are still searching for our place,
we keep searching for a place we belong too,
in every corner in our country.

 

"The sound of freedom is calling,

in every street corner in our country,

the sound of freedom is calling..

 

"We will re-write history,

if you are one of us, join us and

don't stop us from fulfilling our dream. 

 

Saleena: Even though I don't know the language and I hear this in my heart. The faces, the determination, the people on the streets, all kinds, all ages, all with one desire… the right to have a voice in how their lives are lived. Freedom. I have watched a few of the news videos and this one touches me the deepest… tears of joy were welling up in me as I listen to the tones of their hearts…

 

Here are a few comments below the video:

"Congratulations to the people of Misr for lighting the way for other peoples of the world to realize their dreams of democracy in a just and honorable way. We are all Khaled Said!!"

"It is a great day for the Egyptian people, and a gigantic blemish on the USA… The USA killed thousands upon thousands Iraqis bringing 'democracy' to Iraq… Thank you Tunisia and Egypt to teach the Americans a lesson in REAL freedom and democracy."

 

Marimar watches the media reports via this station, Al Jazeera because they are reporting the truth of what is happening. It is not politically manipulated like in so many countries where the media is controlled, including our own (USA). Here is the link to the live feed and much to explore there: Al Jazeera English: Live Stream

 

Today Hosni Mubarak resigned as President!

This is what the Egyptian demonstrators were asking for.

 

Triumph as Mubarak Quits

Millions celebrate as Egyptian president
cedes power to the army,
ushering in a new era of
optimism in the Arab world.

 

"His policies improved the lives of some but left millions in poverty."

"He responds by talking about changes but doing very little."

 

 

Their Success is our Success.
We are all ONE

 

 

Saleena:  My heart soars today.
Their success is our success.
We are ALL ONE and this shows
that we truly are ready to step forward
and claim our rights to lives that are
reasonable and supported.

WE are ready for freedom.

This is a BIG NO to Elite Leaders who are
exploitive, corrupt and manipulative,
accruing extreme wealth for themselves,  
their relatives and friends.

This is a BIG YES as people are
awakening out of the collective trance,
losing their fear and taking actions to restore
their freedom, dignity, and rights.  

I celebrate with them!

 

Millions celebrate (video)

World Reacts as Mubarak Steps Down

 

It is heartening to me to see that there is support from other countries in bringing about justice and stopping criminal practices often carried out by those *"Strong Men"    in power.

*Saleena Note:I use this term as it is used in Africa because there are many men like this in Corrupt Leadership positions all over our planet: Africa's Strong Men – Men of the Clenched Fist instead of the Open Hand Blocking the progress of Africa; Africa-Needs a paradigm shift from Strong Men to Servant Leaders

 

I am including this next one because to me, this whole movement is for us all. It is only the beginning of many of these kinds of movements started by oppressed people to remove oppressive Regimes or Governments or to demand changes. Every one of us is affected by these movements at some level.

 

Article: World Reacts as Mubarak Steps Down

Global leaders hail "historic change"
and "victory" in Egypt,
but Obama warns of difficult days ahead.

Saleena Note:  I am holding a new way of thinking, what if it is easy? What if it is just a series of steps now. By following their hearts and with the support of the new energies and consciousness permeating the Earth the changes will be made steadily.

 

World leaders have welcomed the resignation of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president hailing it as a "historic change" and victory for protesters.

Barack Obama, the US president, said the move was the beginning, not the end, of the transition to democracy in Egypt.

"The people of Egypt have spoken – their voices have been heard and Egypt will never be the same," he said on Friday evening.

He said the people would settle for nothing less than "genuine democracy" and called on the military to ensure a credible political transition.

The US leader added that Egyptians had inspired the world with their moral force and nonviolence, but warned there could be "difficult days ahead".

Earlier, Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said it showed Mubarak had "listened the voices of the Egyptian people" and opened the way to reform in the country.

"It is important now that the dialogue is accelerated leading to a broad-based government which will respect the aspirations of, and deliver stability for, the Egyptian people," she said just after Egypt's vice-president delivered the news on Friday.

"The future of Egypt rightly remains in the hands of the Egyptian people," she said.

Barack Obama, the US president, is due to make a statement on the development later on Friday.

The White House said Obama watched the television coverage of history unfolding outside a meeting at the Oval Office.

A day earlier, the US leader had said Cairo "must spell out a clear path to democracy".

UN chief Ban Ki-moon said that the Egyptian army must allow free and fair elections to get back to civilian rule after President Hosni Mubarak's departure

"I commend the people of Egypt for the peaceful and courageous and orderly manner in which they have exercised their legitimate rights. I call on all parties to continue in the same spirit," Ban said "I urge the interim authorities to chart a clear path forward with the participation of all stakeholders."

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, hailed Mubarak's decision as an "historic change", and called on the country to respect its 1979 peace treaty with Israel.

Her sentiments were echoed by a senior Israeli official, who said: "We hope that the change to democracy in Egypt will happen without violence and that the peace accord will remain."

David Cameron, Britain's prime minister, also urged Egypt to "move towards civilian and democratic rule".

"Egypt now has a really precious moment of opportunity to have a government that can bring the country together," he said.

Meanwhile Switzerland reacted by saying it was freezing the assets potentially belonging to Mubarak, according to a foreign ministry spokesman.

Echoing other European nations, Greece welcomed the news of Mubarak's resignation.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou on  Friday said Egypt had taken a "great step toward democracy" but warned that the road to reform following Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's resignation would be difficult.

"The Egyptians are living a moment of liberation and their country has taken a great step toward democracy," Papandreou said in a statement.

He said the country needed a national consensus on its future and responsible leaders capable of responding to the "expectations of the people," particularly the youth.

"The democratic process in Egypt will be difficult and laborious," he said.

India also welcomed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's resignation and called for quick elections for a democratic government.

"We were all very concerned about the developments in Egypt and we were hoping that a solution which is Egyptian-led would be found," Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna told reporters at the UN headquarters."We are very happy that a decision has been arrived at, as a result of which President Mubarak has relinquished office."

'Lesson' for Arab nations

The Arab world was quick to respond to Mubarak's resignation, with Amr Moussa, the secretary-general of the Arab League, saying there was now a "big chance" to build a "national consensus" in the coming period.

"There is a big chance now and a window has opened after this white revolution and after the president's concession," he told Al Arabiya television.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan said events in Egypt should serve as a "lesson" for other Arab governments.

"Arab regimes should learn a lesson from what has happened," Jamil Abu Baker, spokesman for the movement, told the AFP news agency.

"Mubarak's departure should have happened from the start. It's only natural after his oppression and corruption. Congratulations to our people in Egypt."

In Gaza jubilant scenes followed the announcement, with Palestinians setting off fireworks into the evening sky.

"The resignation of Egyptian president … is the beginning of the victory of the Egyptian revolution," Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said.

"Such a victory was the result of the sacrifices and the steadfastness of the Egyptian people," he told the Reuters news agency.

The Emir's royal council in Qatar also said Mubarak's resignation was a "positive, important step towards the Egyptian people's aspirations of achieving democracy and reform and a life of dignity".

'Where to go next' 

Iran said  Egyptians had achieved a "great victory".

"The conquest by the will of the great Egyptian nation over the resistance and persistence of officials who were dependent on the world powers is a great victory," Ramin  Mehmanparast told Al-Alam television.

However analysts have remained cautious despite the  scenes of jubilation across Egypt.

"Huge questions remain as to where we go next, and it could be a tortuous path," Julien Barnes-Dacey, a middle-east analyst told the Reuters news agency.

"There must be serious questions over how acceptable Suleiman will be given his support for Mubarak. I think he has to come up with sessions very quickly for very comprehensive reform.

"There will be a feeling of jubilation on the streets in the very short term, but I think if they do not seek change protests could still continue."

But in Egypt, opposition figurehead Mohamed ElBaradei said it was the "greatest day" of his life following the announcement. "The country has been liberated".

Swiss Government Freezes Mubarak’s Assets

By Samuel Rubenfeld

 

"The Swiss foreign ministry said in a statement its federal council ordered a freeze of any assets believed to be in the name of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who resigned earlier Friday after 18 days of massive protests.

 “Any assets of the former Egyptian President Mubarak and parties close to him that may be located in Switzerland have been frozen with immediate effect,” the statement says. “In this way the Federal Council is taking all the measures required to avoid any misappropriation of government assets.”

 

 

What Can the
Tunisian & Egyptian
People's Actions
Tell Us About ALL OUR LIVES?

 

Saleena: To come to closure today is to come to an opening. To stand on at the edge observing the Microcosm we see one country, now two countries where the people stand up for themselves and are saying NO to Heartless Rulers, Leaders, Governments, Regimes ignore their people's needs and who uplift themselves and a few elite around them at the expense of the many people in their countries. They are saying YES to Freedom and are demonstrating that peaceful determination and commitment to that which they desire is successful. This shows us ALL that PEACEFUL POWER of THE PEOPLE truly makes changes happen. This is only a beginning.

 

What they are protesting is in some way or another all around us and close to each of us. We are ALL part of a much greater Macrocosm. We can look around us now and observe where anything like this is playing out in our own lives. It might be you are in a country with a Leadership or Government that is oppressive or corrupt. Can you see it with greater clarity today? It might be playing out in your own town, or church, or home. It might be as micro as the way you are parenting or being parented.

 

What Can We Do?
Change your Own Microcosm

 

Look deeply inside of your
own microcosm and see if
you host inherited beliefs or habits
that reflect in actions in your own life
expressing any kind of

oppression, manipulation,

lying, stealing, cover-ups,

disregard or misuse of the Earth

and her precious resources,

dictatorship, domination,

war, or dishonesty.

 

If any of these things are playing out in your own personal life, by your own expression or by what is happening around you in your life, look at what level it is playing out. It is often easier to see it playing outside in someone else. Most of us inherited them from our genetic lineage, our immediate families, our schooling, our religions, our social networks, our historical backgrounds, maybe past lives, and whatever environment we grew up in.

 

If it is bothering you or causing you grief or upset, it is then reflecting something in you that wants to be changed. I believe it is each person's own responsibility to change what is inside of them (microcosm) then the world outside them (macrocosm) will change. There are many ways to release these old outdated habits and beliefs. The internet is filled with those who can help or guide; healers, health practioneers, self-help books, techniques, messages that give ideas. Ho'oponopono is one way.

 

If you don't know where to start, ask for inspiration and help. Just say it out loud. There are myriads of unseen beings all around us that are ready to assist if they are asked. From Angels, Guardians, Guides to Plants and Nature Beings. They are here to help us. And we need to ask. Just setting your intention that you want to change something begins the process. Whatever you need will come to you.

 

One Last-ing Observation:

 

The Egyptian popular revolt is reminiscent of when Gandhi lead the people of India in peaceful protests, resulting in their independence. This time there is no central figure leading them. This revolution is the people leading themselves. There is a difference in the outcome of a violent revolution and a peaceful one. In violent revolutions it is usually one faction fighting another for power. Whoever wins gets the power and "treasures" for themselves and the corruption continues. In a peaceful revolution the people experience their own power and it can be a positive and lasting thing for their country and lives.

 

The rising power of awakening people is one marvelous event I see that will surprise the controlling powers and change our world into what I am dreaming in. Thank you EVERYONE who bodily went into the streets and faced everything thrown their way, determinedly and peacefully held your place until you began to get what you want. Thank you!

 

After Note:

All during writing and organizing this Message I have felt presences with me. At first I felt Belees, the Arcturian that works closely with me. Next I began to feel and catch glimpses of many other beings with me. I sensed some Masters of Light, though no names came through. I felt many all through the day as I continued to read and write. This is one of those messages I felt compelled by a strong call to write it. I thank everyone present with me today. Thank you!

 

I just finished and looked at the clock and it read:
