You can't get the Constitution back

People say they want their constitution back. That is fine. I hope they aren’t speaking literally. For if they are, then they don’t understand the constitution or what it is.

For they can’t get it back. Because it didn’t go anyplace. In fact it isn’t anyplace. It just isn’t.

Not today anyway.

The pseudo constitution under which we operate today in this country isn’t even a very good fake constitution. It doesn’t closely resemble the original.

So what does one do about it?

The first thing is to learn what the original constitution is. Learn how it works. You do that by going back to the documents written at that time about the constitution; read them, understand them, determine what the men meant by those words that were written down on that piece of parchment called the constitution.

And then you put the constitution into operation again.

The constitution is just words on a piece of parchment. That is all it is. That is all it can ever be. Those words can be nothing more by themselves. They need you to put life into them. The constitution must be within you and then you must put it into action in the physical universe. No one else can do it for you. Not a legislator. Not a president. Not a judge.

Only you.

No, you can’t get your constitution back. But you can put it there. For it is yours with which to so do.

What I am talking about is responsibility. What I am saying is that you can’t rely on someone else to do it. That’s what “getting it back” is saying. It is saying that someone else has it and you want them to give it back to you. It is saying that someone else must take responsibility for the situation.

I am saying you are responsible for the Constitution It is within you. And you must find it and know when you have found it. And then you must take that final step and give it life.
