DEDICATION

To everyone who loves freedom, growth and happiness,

Let no one defile our democracy.

EPIGRAPHS

"The thing you dislike or hate will surely come upon you,

for when man hates, he makes a vivid picture

in the subconscious mind and it objectifies." 

Florence Scovel Shinn

"Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down

By the enemy

Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing

Bow down to the mighty

Don't run, stop holding your tongue

Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

Show me how big your brave is…

Honestly I want to see you be brave!"

from the song Brave by Sara Bareilles

AUTHOR'S NOTE FOR THE 2ND EDITION

Dear Reader,

This is the advanced training manual for Freedom Fighters who refuse to be overrun by The Trump Circus, and its right-wing extremist agenda of hate, greed, white supremacy, misogynism, and voter repression.

You've already got progressive petitions to sign, social media posts to write and share, marches and Town Hall events to attend, but this book will take you deeper—into the realm of the creative mind, where we can access our unlimited power to manifest the results we want to experience.

Does that sound like mere wishful thinking? It's not. We are fully capable of using mental abilities we've given little attention to before. Even if you've watched films, read books and attended seminars about using the law of attraction more skillfully, we're going to explore things you might not have considered, as it relates to working together and collectively changing the direction this country is going in, and thus create lasting progress.

At this time, we are being eagerly watched by the many who have gone before us and are no longer in physical form, by those who know first-hand the hard fight to gain justice and liberty and the fruits of democracy. They are on our side, cheering our goals and actions. Listen for that whisper of encouragement and love when you focus on the desired outcome of expansion in civil rights and freedom.

However, showing Trump and his pals the exit door is only a beginning, not a culmination. Let's vote them out of office, but we'll have to keep up the good work and prevent their clones from springing up in this battle for human evolution and a healthy environment to live in.

The work will continue beyond our own lifetimes, but this will be our legacy to future generations. I invite you to make a simple commitment to progress.

In fact, I believe each member of the resistance deliberately chose this lifetime to be on hand for the big changes ahead, and to be part of making them happen.

This is a new type of revolution the world has never seen. Gandhi would recognize elements of it, as would Nelson Mandela and other proponents of peaceful change. So, of course, would our nation's founding fathers and mothers, who established a new way of living that has the seeds of worthy achievement firmly planted in its soil.

In times of great trouble, when a nation's citizens are under attack from within or from without, people begin to gather from all backgrounds and communities to form a resistance. These people have one important thing in common—whether they are fighting the Nazis or resisting Donald Trump and his elitists—they are willing to stand up and speak out for freedom.

As Tom Brokaw put it, in regard to hostile acts by the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress: "Make no mistake about it—we are at war."

Books and films offer us a window into history's traditional wars, such as World War Two, during which brave resistance fighters risked their lives and the safety of their family and friends to combat Hitler's takeover of their own countries or the countries of allies.

They had to meet in secret, create code names, and establish enigmatic cyphers and elaborate lines of communication with the underground. They stockpiled weapons and supplies. They went hungry, they rationed, they mended their clothes, and did without the comforts we take for granted.

They furtively disseminated news bulletins and information, at the risk of being discovered, arrested, tortured, shot. At all times, their personal safety was at risk. They led a double life, and especially for agents infiltrating enemy territory, they had to leave the relative safety of home with perhaps only a clandestine radio for company.

Today, we've got it far easier than any band of Freedom Fighters in history.

With the incredible power of the internet at our fingertips, we can battle the Republican leaders from home, on the go, or at the neighborhood coffee shop. We click "Sign" and submit a petition to our representatives in government, adding our single voice to the voices of millions. We share our messages in social media. We write letters to our Congressional, state and local leaders, demanding accountability, insisting that they stand up to Trump and his cohorts. We meet openly in our communities. And we march in the streets in nonviolent protests against the Trump administration's extremist agenda.

You may have felt all your life that there was some elusive purpose you were meant to be fulfilling. If you feel in alignment with the statements in this book, then I believe you've found your purpose: you're a Freedom Fighter!

I am pleased to present this second edition of America's New Breed of Freedom Fighters for all the Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals who are watching the news and wondering frantically: What on earth can we do about this powder-keg situation?

As I write this, we've already survived long months of mind-boggling behavior and legal restrictions imposed by the Republicans in Congress and their figurehead, Mr. Trump.

Trump's role? He's not really the "leader" of the Free World. Despite his claim that he is a "stable genius," and that he is "the least-racist" person in the country, he's merely the clown on a jerry-rigged stage who keeps the media distracted and the crowd roaring in either glee or outrage, while his henchmen systematically loot the country.

If you feel strangled by fear, nervous to pick up a newspaper or turn on the television, I hope you will find relief in this book. My life mission is to help people heal and be happier and be more effective in creating results that improve life and are for the greater good of the many, not the few.

Together we can uplift the collective consciousness to create a Blue Wave bigger than a tsunami to wash away the filth of greed and self-aggrandizement.

As we join together, open your mind to replacing worry with a deeper understanding of how today's new breed of Freedom Fighters need to think and behave in order to defeat tyranny.

To truly make progress in long strides, we must shift our collective focus away from Trump and toward what we want to achieve, using the best practices of the law of creation, a.k.a. law of attraction.

We create what we picture in our minds and then steep with emotion (whether fear or happy anticipation). We create in our environment a reflection of our most heartfelt thoughts.

When we allow anger and anxiety to muddy our mental pictures, we inadvertently align our creative energy with the "Dark Force."

Are you ready for your hero's journey? Perhaps you've already embarked on it and would like to sharpen your tools and hone your skills at creating what you desire.

In this volume, along with a new section titled "The Heart of Progress," you will find the first edition of the book (issued on Inauguration Day 2017) in its entirety. I also reviewed the original material for the purpose of creating a spiritually uplifting experience as you read.

We communicate with words, which set up a vibrational reaction as we read, but also with the invisible energy called "body language" which is present even when we are not physically near one another.

Just as your computer is connected to the same internet the rest of us access, there is an inescapable energy of connection between all of us within the One Mind. The higher we go in the stream of consciousness, up where love, peace, compassion, and joy thrive, the more alive and calm we feel, and the more powerful we become as Freedom Fighters for democracy.

Reading this book will energize and enliven you, as you come into harmony with ideals that uplift and inspire you to bring your most glorious self into play.

You will feel a wonderful sense of confidence, peace and wellbeing inside, and at the same time realize more fully just how powerful a being you are, fully capable of creating the results you want in life.

In the conclusion of Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote, "I have learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours; he will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings."

As we join together and move forward with determination and fervor in the name of justice, you may feel that you have been catapulted into that higher order of beings to which Thoreau refers.

That exhilarating feeling will expand as we actively engage with our government at all levels to create a stronger and more robust democracy.

In the new section called The Heart of Progress, in addition to describing the

urgency of our Code Blue crisis, I address our need to, as Barack Obama phrases

it, tend to The Garden of Democracy. The valuable work of Marchers &

Protestors is summarized, and I share some of the Voices of Progress and a

review of the Voices of Destruction we've heard since Trump's taking office.

We'll also be investigating how our words and deeds can act as Boomerangs for

the Greater Good in this inside-out universe of ours, and how to harness your own words to create the most effective results possible.

Let's look at a more vibrant approach to understanding the Paradigm of Progress and why it's critical to elevate our collective belief system and thus advance human evolution.

I invite Democrats to Take Back Our Flag, and I offer a new series of affirmations

in Fortune Cookies for Freedom Fighters.

In listing my personal Five Freedoms, I hope you will feel inspired to enumerate your own goals and dreams for progress that help you stay motivated to march and be involved in our government…of the people, by the people, and for the people.

I urge you to begin doing these three things, starting today:

ONE In social media, especially in Twitter, unfollow Donald Trump in all his guises, and unfollow all Republican members of Congress and your local and state Republicans.

If enough of us do this, they will see a significant drop in their popularity rating. Yes, of course, they can have their social media managers use bot techniques to add a few million fake followers, but by removing your energetic interest in what they share, you begin detaching from that Dark Force.

Do not retweet or pass along Republican social media and email marketing material.

In your own inbox, stop opening email with alarming subject lines, no matter who the email is from. When you read a scary prediction such as "Oh no!--We're LOSING!" it sets up an unhealthy vibration in your mind and body. You immediately picture a result you don't want: the Republicans winning!

That statement and similar ones were, unfortunately, repeated again and again by Democrats in the presidential campaign of 2016. I realize the email marketing managers probably thought it was a great idea to get people to open the email and hopefully make a donation. However, the unfortunate tactic of embedding the collective picture of losing in the minds of Democrats resulted in the surprise election of a man who claims he never thought he'd win.

We cannot continue to align with thoughts and images of what we don't want to happen. We must keep our sight on being in harmony with the good we desire to create, and that means disciplining our emotions to respond rather than react to stimulus.

TWO Stop being a news junkie. You don't need to have the news on all day long in order to keep up with what's going on. Get the news in brief, and then turn it off. We used to call it brainwashing or propaganda when short, emotionally charged statements are reiterated to such a degree they become embedded in the minds of the listeners. Now we call it The News. Or, even more devastatingly: Fox News.

You do not need to fill your mind with a nonstop stream of negativity and fear-inducing messages. When we do this, we diminish our own ability to vibrate at the high level of energy needed to create the awe-inspiring changes we have in mind for our country and, indeed, the entire world.

THREE Discard unwanted images in your mind of what Trump and his team are doing to destroy the environment and devastate the lives of millions. Keep a strong vision of what you do want to help create. Happy, healthy children who have access to education. Compassionate caring and support for the elderly, the impoverished, those who are unable to care for themselves. Sensible gun control, tax reform, medical care. Ease of voting for all eligible citizens. Keep the pictures strong of America as the beautiful melting pot which welcomes immigrants onto its bright shores of opportunity.

As the ripples of our efforts bring forth a harmonious song of the universe, we will prevail over the destructive agenda of the Republican leaders.

Let's continue what we've begun.

Our Allies are watching to see how we will handle this crisis in America: let's not disappoint them by hiding under the covers.

Expanding liberty and justice for all is not an impossible dream. All we need to do is collectively live and serve at a higher level than the opposition and keep marching.

Welcome to the Resistance,

Evelyn Roberts Brooks
