AMERICA HAS NOT ONLY the ability, but also the responsibility to lead and guide the world in these times, and yet America is still struggling to find her own identity. People call each other "good Americans" without really appreciating what it is they are saying. Ever since American astronauts started photographing planet Earth from space, essentially global consciousness has changed forever. A "good American" is someone who can see into the lives of those not only in their own family and community, but also in their world community. America can only be truly abundant when every single one of its citizens is abundant. And the world community, and thus planet Earth, only thrives when everyone within it is thriving. Through inspired leadership and integrity, America has the potential not only to achieve great abundance within her own borders, but also to enrich the lives of every single human being and the planet as a whole.

Abundance is our nature. It is our birthright. Poverty is purely an invention of the human mind, as it exists nowhere else in the Universe. If we are to grow in consciousness we must grow in abundance; conscious humans have the ability and resources to turn any famine into a feast. To grow in abundance there is a strong need for us to re-examine our destructive tendencies and shift altogether towards creativity. America has within her population many people with the greatest creative potential in the entire world. It is time to expand our creativity throughout America and throughout this wonderful planet by changing our most basic premise to one of abundance rather than lack.

There are certain people who have brought wonderful creativity into the world without having access to large financial resources, but it is clear that they have suffered immense hardship in their own lives. In these changing times at the beginning of the 21st Century, it must be seen that it no longer serves us to be the impoverished artist with a magnanimous spirit, but rather, it serves us to allow and embrace abundance in all areas of our lives. One thing must be absolutely clear: that our own sense of abundance need not be at the expense of anyone else.

An outstanding example of a truly abundant person is Teresa Heinz Kerry. Born in the Portuguese/African colony of Mozambique, educated in many cultures, fluent in many languages, widow of one wealthy senator and now wife of another, Teresa is the chief architect in several of the largest, most benevolent foundations on Earth. In this article we look at the Design of this truly remarkable woman.

Teresa was born on October 5, 1938 in Maputo, Mozambique. She is born into the incarnation called "Tension," indicating a life path in which she must juggle her need for personal control with a trust in her own abilities within a sometimes distrustful and treacherous world.

Her presence anywhere is always immediately noticeable, and instantly calls out for a sense of high standards in the lives of those who relate with her.

In her Design chart, Teresa has a very particular combination of defined channels. In Design, there are many different "circuits" within the body graph that are made up of combinations of various channels. By design, Teresa has her four defined channels in what is called the "individual circuitry." She has no other definitions in either what are called the "collective circuitry" or the "tribal circuitry," the two other main circuits that make up the body graph. In Design terms, she is a "pure individual." Pure individuals, such as Teresa, are rare and unique Beings in that their every movement and expression has the potential to open up new avenues of human experience. They are not here to "toe the line" or "follow anyone's footsteps," instead, they are here to be empowered themselves as individuals, and also to empower everyone else to stand in their own truth.

The Individual
One of the consequences of being a pure individual is that one can appear to be unorthodox and even a little strange to the so-called status quo. Teresa will have experienced right from the early days of her life the personal quality of being a misfit. Certainly, she can interact with various groups and gatherings, bringing her natural empowering qualities with her, but she will never quite feel as though she is an integral part of any particular group or gathering. She will always feel as though she is an outsider, and provided she honors and appreciates this about herself it will give her a certain objective quality to be apart enough to observe the real motives of anyone confronting her. This objectivity gives her the greatest advantage in her efforts to bring real and lasting transformation to our world.

We are given many different senses by which we can engage with the experiences that happen to us in our lives. Each of the three main circuits within the Design system has its own particular senses by which it measures life. The most commonly considered sense is eyesight by which we inspect, compare and judge our surroundings. In Design terms, eyesight is the medium of the "collective." The senses of touch and smell relate in Design terms to the "tribal" medium, through which value is dependent on whether something feels or smells right. For "individuals," the medium is acoustic and auditory in nature. People who have "individual circuitry" defined within their Designs are constantly attuning to the sounds in their environment. It is not altogether surprising to know that Teresa is fluent in and attuned to the sounds of many different languages and musics of the world.

Definitions
In her chart, Teresa has four defined channels which are divided into two sets of two. The Root Center at the bottom of the chart is defined by two channels, the 38-28, the channel of struggle for high values, and the 39-55, the channel of access to abundance through the emotions. Both of these channels are unconscious in Teresa's Design, indicating that, whatever she does in this lifetime these two definitions will provide a constant undercurrent. She will always strive towards promoting a higher quality in all things in our lives, providing a very spirited presence in what can mistakenly be seen as a dreary existence. She will constantly be assessing the acoustic quality of her environment, she will continously need the reassurance of the sense that things "sound right" to her.

Between the Sacral Center - the red square center - and the Self Center - the yellow diamond center - Teresa has definition in the channel 2-14, the channel called the Beat, the “keeper of the keys,” (a potential attunement to higher vibrations), being the channel of immense personal empowerment through the handling of material resources in service to the highest of causes. From the Self Center to the Throat Center, Teresa has the definition 1-8, called “Inspiration,” the creative role model. These two channels, the 2-14 in the 1-8 are defined, in part, through Teresa's nodes, which define her life’s purpose. Her life's destiny is inevitably caught up in providing a creative personal presence and inspiration to others while committing material resources to the greatest good of humanity...

The Undefined Centers
Teresa has an open Crown Center at the top of the chart indicating an availability to all kinds of inspirations. The more creative people she is around, the more creative inspirations will be available to her. For Teresa to know whether something is right for her to involve herself with or not, she will have to check in with sacral response, since she is, by Design a “Generator” and someone who is designed to follow her gut feelings.

She has an undefined Ajna, mental awareness Center with two activated Gates, the 47, the Gate of realization, and the 4, the Gate of logical solutions. Anyone who has an undefined mental Center must realize that they do not always need to be thinking. The brilliance of Teresa's undefined mind stands out when she is called upon to resolve other peoples issues, but it can present itself as a handicap to her personally if she thinks that resolving issues in her own life with mental solutions is going to bring her fulfillment. For Teresa, clarity only comes over time through her emotional gut response.

Teresa also has an undefined Ego, Heart, Willpower Center in which there are two Gates, the 21, the Gate of control, and the 51, the Gate called the “arousing,” activated. Throughout her life, Teresa will have had personal issues around control, whether it be with parents, governments, religions, bureaucrats, press reporters or anyone holding “supposedly politically correct” or rigid views on life. Individuals demand that life of itself is enough unto itself and does not merit manipulation by those seeking ego gratification by remaining entrenched in fixed and unrealistic belief systems. Gate 51, which relates physiologically to our gallbladder, can at times provide immense shock to anyone who transgresses the individual's standpoint, instantly putting that person in touch with a truer sense of reality. Teresa has a wonderful roar that can put people straight in an instant, and anyone who has never tried roaring ( particularly women, I would recommend paying close attention to Teresa’s style!

In conclusion
For anyone who has not yet realized the radical change that is happening in our lives, both on levels of material and conscious reality, I would venture to say that they're in for an enormous shock in the near future. Belief systems, dogmas, business-as-usual politics, aggression and everything that has been considered relatively fixed and normal for the past 2,500 years is on the skids. All that we take for granted is shifting, and the formulas that we have indulged in the past are not necessarily going to help us in the future. We can consider this change of affairs deeply threatening and frightening, or we can shift gears, raise our level of consciousness and personal responsibility, and move with the changing times.

Teresa Heinz Kerry is truly a remarkable woman. Not only has she participated in catalyzing enormous changes in her own life and the lives of her family, but she has also championed and funded the causes of hundreds of thousands of individuals throughout the world who are seeking an abundant reality in their lives. If ever there was a need for such a person as Teresa to be available to assist and inspire us in these transformative times, I would humbly suggest we invite her and promote her to stand forth, as a Woman, as an American leader, and as an authentic Human Being. Teresa speaks and stands for her own authentic truth. Her example can inspire and empower each one of us to attune to our own authentic nature and indulge our own precious truth in abundance.
