War in Iran: America’s Obituary
By Rev. Laura George, JD
America crossed another line today. So many lines have been crossed, it’s hard to keep count. Yet, the attack on Iran is a new milestone, as we prepare to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s magnum opus. Yes, 2026 will go down in history as the year America fully tumbled into darkness ...
As an Oracle, I watch nascent timelines. With Trump’s latest violation of international law, some new timelines are in play. What seems likely (in addition to a Handmaid’s Tale timeline), is an authoritarian blunder into a World War III timeline (or at least a whopper of a war in the Middle East).
So what exactly is the goal in Iran? Why did the U.S. and Isreal team up to push for regime change, when history shows such efforts are disastrous unless led by the country’s own people? What I see is something very dark ... an attempt to not only wipe out Iran’s leadership, but also seriously maim a Muslim country. Trump depends on Christian Nationalism, and Netanyahu is in bed with Jewish fundamentalists. These power-addicted sociopaths are clearly dependent on religious fanatics, so they’ve unified according to the adage, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” In short, if Islam is crippled (or at least the Shai branch is destroyed), then the remaining Abrahamic religions – Christianity and Judaism – can duke it out another day.
Now, add a pinch of Global Warming and a dash of the AI/Terminator timeline and the future gets uglier still. Nothing less than Star Wars on steroids, but instead of using the Dark side of the Force, the dictators and billionaire bros will use the ancient religions to coral the masses.
If Team Dark wins this round of the God Game, then all is lost. EVERYTHING. The human experiment goes supernova. Or at best, within 100 years, we’ll have the technology to rampage in outer space, but we’ll be a rogue planet with a species that topped out just before reaching the Second Tier of Consciousness. Conversely, if Team Light ushers in a protopian Paradigm Shift, humanity will enter the prophesied Fifth Spiritual Paradigm (i.e., 1000 years of peace),
Which brings me back to the Handmaids Tale and the evil of misogyny. As International Women’s Day approaches, I cannot help but ask: What will happen to us if we fail to learn the Law of Gender? My goodness, it is the first and easiest law to learn on the Earth Plane. Everything here is gendered; everything is dual. The fact that half of homo sapiens are subjugated based on gender is mind-boggling. This is a kindergarten-level universal law. Only a kindergarten planet could be so barbaric.
While patriarchy makes its last stand, we collectively are feeling the pain of a Great Cusp – the period of intense chaos that always accompanies a major Paradigm Shift. Even so, as the iconic band U2 reminds us, the answer is so simple. All Team Light needs to do is:
Love each other more than Hate loves war
To that I would add:
Are you still sitting on the sidelines?
It’s time to decide whether you’re on Team Light or Team Dark. Decide whether Gandhi or Hitler left us a greater legacy. And realize that ALL of God’s messengers spoke the same language – the language of Love. EVERY spiritual tradition cites a version of the Golden Rule. In short, it’s time to play for Team Human and ensure our shared destiny.
At Oracle Temple, the multi-faith church I serve, we stress the connection between the Golden Rule and the need for a gender-balanced Godhead. Patriarchy infiltrated religion first, by systematically excising the Divine Feminine. In fact, the Law of Gender is even more basic than the Golden Rule. Sadly, humans have yet to fully assimilate either of these kindergarten lessons.
To be clear, I have no doubt that that there are more of us on Team Light than on Team Dark. But we’ve permitted dark souls to acquire lead legislative positions and top judicial posts. We’ve allowed fake news hucksters and social media megalomaniacs to pollute our airwaves and the internet. And we’re slowly succumbing to the perceived inevitability of tech billionaires crafting amoral AI that is neither controllable nor contained.
But most of all, I am weary of this planet’s failure to fully embrace Partnership and Peace. This is the mission of the Oracle Institute and Founding Mothers Movement. It is our sacred task, for the benefit of all humanity.
Despite the reality that Trump has implicitly written America’s Obituary, and even though the converging crises are formidable, I still have hope. I still have faith. And when I study the myriad timelines in play, I still see a way for Team Light to triumph ... if we unify fast around the core vision of Planetary Partnership and Peace.
