matthew17I've highlighted a few points here in the quotes below.

"To what extent is race a factor in US President Obama's very low rating in his country's polls?

"We don't know the percentage, but we do know that race is not a major factor, and it exists only in his own country. His election was met with exultation and hopeful expectations on a global scale, as if he could fix all the wrongs in his country and cure all the ills of the world—those expectations haven't been met. Few foresaw the sustained opposition he would encounter, and while that quickly became clear in Congress, the Illuminati's influence within and behind that body isn't known. When that truth comes forth, all will understand what President Obama has had to deal with in his efforts to uplift his country's peoples and bring peace to your world. Furthermore, the many strides he has made despite formidable opposition aren't being heralded even by his own party.

"[Re: Pope Francis] Like his colleagues in the Vatican and some individuals outside, Pope Francis knows of situations hidden from public view, and he has the innate goodness to feel compelled to end the most ungodly—the international headquarters of Satanism in the bowels of the Vatican. As the light keeps intensifying, that end will indeed come, but it remains to be seen if the Pope has the ability to defy those who are dead set against letting the world know that this diabolical situation ever existed within the Vatican walls. [April 11, 2013]

"Pope Francis is another well-known and greatly respected person. The spiritually evolved soul who embodied as Jorge Bergoglio did so by request of the highest universal council so that later he could fill the powerfully influential papal position. In keeping with the soul's acceptance, the universe "paved the way" for the opportunity that "fit." Thus Bergoglio became the pope and, despite strong opposition in the Vatican, he is acting upon what he feels is his responsibility, to right the wrongs that body has perpetrated from its inception. [July 21, 2013]

"What we see as your challenge is being ever mindful to use the universal law of attraction, which is in constant operation, to benefit selves and your world. Please keep your thoughts focused on what you want, not on what you don't want.

"Beloved family, not since your entire planet was the Garden of Eden has there been as much light in your world as today—let this be in the forefront of your thoughts as you continue your ascension adventure. Albeit unseen, we are at your side embracing you with unconditional love."

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew.

First we say, everything going on in your world is in response to the ever-increasing vibrations, and along with evident progress, you are seeing the remnants of what naturally follows the departure of darkness. Free from that shroud of negativity, individuals no longer are acting under its ponderous influence, but rather in line with deeply-rooted religious, political or philosophical convictions, and occasionally from deranged mental functioning that is intensified by the prevailing vibrations.

Now, we happily address the major issues of expressed interest.

What do Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine portend for that region?

For the short term, general confusion and in some quarters, fighting. Putin wants the same that other national leaders want: a strong economy, a stable government and a calm citizenry. He didn't realize the breadth of discontentment among Ukrainians or anticipate the outcry after those living in Crimea voted to join Russia, where the majority of voters feel a comfortable familiarity.

Actually, this is a case of rejoining. Throughout your recorded history national borders have swayed to and fro in accordance with the victors of wars, ensuing gain or loss of control, and need for natural resources. Never have the few in power considered how this affected the populace, whose lot was to endure the results of a culture split into different national allegiances or the combining of different cultures under one flag.

That ages-old system has been coming apart at the seams side by side with tyrannical regimes falling as voices have risen to crescendos with demands for change. Disagreement as to exactly what direction those changes should take is due to the lingering duality within individuals at the extremes of the spectrum—progressive, futuristic ideas at one end, intent to hold onto or return to the past at the other. As the light continues intensifying, the extremes will fade away as the desire to live together harmoniously becomes ever stronger.

Will the natural gas deal between Russia and China be severely detrimental to the United States economically? Will those countries try to overtake the US militarily?

"No" to both questions, and we view that alliance as positive. Attaining energy sufficiency via a mutually beneficial arrangement engenders a sounder economy, more stability in governance and more satisfied citizens—that is what the Chinese and Russian leaders need and want.  From an environmental view, extracting the planet's natural gas is not good, but it doesn't pose the same potential for destructiveness that oil has caused time and again, it doesn't pollute your air as coal does, and it has none of the dangers inherent in nuclear energy. Gradually you will forsake fossil fuels as renewable energy sources expand, and when Earth is within energy planes where photons are more numerous than electrons, you will be using "free energy" only.

Many also are mulling over another issue that readers requested our comments on: racism in the United States. Let us separate the chaff from the wheat here—i.e., the cited individuals from the issue itself. By no means is racism confined to the United States and definitely not only to the few persons identified in news reports, but whatever is highly publicized in that country becomes newsworthy everywhere. This vitally important issue is showcasing—again!—the ugliness and cruelty of racism wherever it exists so your society will rid itself of this pervasive ill. Even though everyone on Earth has experienced the harshness of this discrimination in one lifetime or another—probably in many lifetimes—never was this intended for any of your races.

Let us for a moment go back into your planet's antiquity, when several civilizations went there for various reasons. The purpose of one was to mine gold, and not wishing to perform the heavy labors themselves, they brought in a population with low intelligence to do that work. Later, members of the civilizations mated with the worker-population, thereby raising their intelligence level and producing various skin colors and features. When the civilizations saw that the different races greatly enhanced the entire nascent population, they bestowed upon them a conscious awareness of The Beginnings of all souls. The diverse-appearing population continued evolving spiritually and intellectually and lived peaceably until the dark forces moved into the solar system and introduced fear's components of prejudice and divisiveness.

The dark forces left the area decades ago and the last of their shroud of darkness that had engulfed the planet for millennia left when Earth emerged out of third density 18 months ago. The racism spawned by darkness must leave too, and giving this international attention is necessary so that love can replace the bias and perceived separateness due to superficial differences. In the stirring song, America the Beautiful, are the words "with brotherhood from sea to shining sea"—brotherhood of shining souls from sea to sea is on your world's horizon.
