Probably more, but I can only think of four off the top of my head;<br \/>\nwhich means that we don&#8217;t have a government at all &#8211; we have a monarchy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;C&#8217;mon, Joy&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true. We have a King and\/or Queen Somebody, but they stay hidden out of fear<br \/>\nthat Americans might get just a little too upset about being serfs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And, according to your theory, they, too, chose their fates for a greater purpose, so that<br \/>\nthe world could ascend into a higher consciousness. Very heroic of them to be criminals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, isn&#8217;t it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yea&#8230; and chances are, the King and Queen of America are really Reptilian aliens who<br \/>\nshape shift between human and dragon whenever they feel like it, just to scare Congress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No joke?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right&#8230; and I should forgive all the horrible things, because some dragon lady somewhere<br \/>\ndeserves my compassion in order to release my soul&#8217;s karmic debt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Makes sense&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yea&#8230; except why are they sentencing protesters of the last stolen election to decades in prison?<br \/>\nShouldn&#8217;t they, too, forgive and forget in order to allow the soul of America it&#8217;s own ascension&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>from hell?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uh&#8230; you&#8217;re not quite understanding the concept of forgiveness, I think. It&#8217;s not about them or<br \/>\ntheir souls&#8230; it&#8217;s about you and your choice to ascend to a higher consciousness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That so?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just forget about all of it and move on, Joy. Move forward into a better life. If you forget about it<br \/>\nthey might finally leave you alone because you won&#8217;t be drawing in their matching energy.<\/p>\n<p>You chose this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yea&#8230; ok, well, I can&#8217;t help but wonder why any soul would choose any of this. I had no control<br \/>\nover the behaviors of grown men in 1962, or of the women who rallied them on.
