Every nation feels itself to be superior, but in America it's a jaunty feeling, and in some cases a rather ominous one among the super-patriots.

It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.

There's intense national feeling in America that could be called patriotism.

Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity, and in some degree the hopes and happiness of the whole human family.

Ironically, it is when we identify with our spirits rather than our bodies that we are most powerful on the material plane. Our overidentification with the world does not give us power within the world so much as it diminishes our power here. It makes us frightened and nervous and full of anxiety.

Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.

There's a constant anxiety that comes from having an innate sense of self, yet existing within a homogenised, aspirational culture.

We are witnessing an enormous shift of collective consciousness throughout the world. We are at the precipice of great transformation within our culture and government.

I think it's true that the 1 Percent or the elite are living in a world of, maybe, excessive privilege, and they don't fully realize how much pain and suffering, how much anxiety exists out there.

My sense is that economic anxiety means electoral volatility.
