About this listen

 Author Gates McKibbin is clairaudient, adept at thought transfer or hearing without sound. Epic Steps is the eighth book she has published containing messages from the spirit world, and it could not be more relevant or timely. Here three former presidents – Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower – sound an alarm derived from their shared concern for the vitality and viability of democracy in the US and the future of planet Earth. The presidents’ musings are precisely what we in this weary, disheartened and divided nation need. And we need it now. Wise voices must prevail if our democracy is to survive. The presidents acknowledge their own errors and shortcomings, remind us of our beginnings and Constitutional mandates and call us to our deepest potential and highest good. Their insights are as courageous as they are compelling.Selected Quotes from Thomas Jefferson“When the Founding Fathers considered how to foster individuality within the context of majority rule, we focused more on the spirit of each citizen than the body or mind. We created a government that would recognize and honor the highest, most exalted aspect of every person.”“Two counterbalancing assurances are necessary: Freedom and equality. Freedom run rampant crowds out equality and leads to the concentration of power. Equality run rampant stifles individual initiative, demoralizes and demotivates. But the two combined, though ever in dynamic tension, protect us from the excesses of each.” “Humility is what makes a leader real. It comes from an honest understanding of inner strengths and limitations. It gives no quarter to hubris, egomania, or self-aggrandizement.”“When the distribution of resources and influence becomes significantly skewed, democracy falters and self-government becomes almost impossible. The few who hold power work to assure that everyone else remains or feels powerless.”Selected Quotes from Abraham Lincoln“Slavery and democracy had been strange bedfellows. The Founding Fathers sidestepped the problem to form a unified democracy. The slaves were sacrificed for the sake of expediency.”“If we are equal under God, then everyone in the nation must be equal under the laws of the land. If we are equal under God, then we must honor the Divine within each person. And that divine aspect blossoms with acceptance, not judging; love, not hatred; interrelatedness, not separateness; freedom, not slavery.”“There can be no democracy without tolerance and open-mindedness. There can be no democracy without people rising above their own selfishness. Abolishing slavery was the first step; abolishing disrespect and intolerance was the next.”Selected Quotes from Dwight D. Eisenhower“The military industrial complex has grown way beyond anything I warned against when I was president. You know only a fraction of the story. You have been told half-truths, disinformation, and premeditated lies. You have been shown the benign face of a monster that is plundering your resources, polluting your environment, and usurping your government. My purpose is not to frighten, but to impel people to action. This is a wake-up call.”“It is difficult to say which country began the arms race. Had the Russians set the stage with their annexation of Eastern Europe? Or had our own military inflamed anxieties about Communism to make sure ‘defense’ would always be first on the list of federally funded initiatives?”“You have no choice but to establish and maintain a true and lasting global peace. If you do not, the planet will continue on its current course. Perhaps sooner, perhaps later, the tension and violence will escalate to the point that the survival of humankind will hang in the balance. That is not a conjecture. It is a guarantee.”“Peace throughout a global community is possible. You must believe this. You have no other option.” Politics & Activism Politics & Government Presidents & Heads of State Dwight eisenhower
