Let us do our best whilst we live for another tomorrow is coming when whilst we are long gone, another group of people shall come to either suffer from our worst or enjoy and build upon our best.

—Ernest Agyemang Yeboah, Ghanaian writer and teacher

A teenager in Florida, a student at the school in which a mass shooting took place only a few days ago in which 17 students and faculty were killed, said, “We took 17 bullets to the heart.”

How many more bullets to the heart can we stand? The bullets are not only from the out-of-control gun violence in the United States. Every day we suffer the shredding of our energetic flesh from the bullets of a society that is more focused on what polarizes us rather on than what unifies us. We are put in the cross-hairs of politicians who have become marksmen of inaction and assassins of statesmanship. We are peppered with wounds as truths and facts are misrepresented as falsity and fake news. We are being mowed down by the heaviness of our leaders—and of ourselves. Our country is not something separate from us. We are its body, mind, heart and soul—and as we are, so is our country. We are responsible both for acknowledging the energetic violence that has us in its sights and for not perpetuating that heaviness ourselves.

We are paqos!

When paqos see a need and have the tools to address that need, they take action.

Let us right now commit to the energetic work of lessening the heavy energy of the United States. Our tool is saminchakuy—the primary energetic tool to transform heavy energy, to turn it back into sami.

I call upon all paqos to commit to a fifteen-minute practice every day.

• Five minutes of saminchakuy on yourself.
• Five minutes of saminchakuy on the poq’po of Congress and Washington, DC.
• Five minutes of saminchakuy on the poq’po of the United States of America.

Together we can become one energetic body that is a powerful eater of hucha. It doesn’t matter if our saminchakuy is synced in time. All that matters is that the thousands of you out there reading this who are paqos begin to put your tool of saminchakuy to use on behalf of the conscious evolution of our country.

Connect to the bubble (first to your own, then to Congress, and then of the U.S.), draw sami from the cosmos down into that bubble and release hucha from that bubble and send it to Mother Earth.

The danger is that you will be committed to this practice for a few days or a few weeks. Realistically, however, this is a long-term commitment. Do you have 15 minutes a day? If so, commit. Right now! Close down the device on which you are reading this and get to work acting like a paqo!

Darkness always gives way to light. As heaviness dissipates, we all rise.
