How can we talk of integration until there is integration of hearts and minds? Unless you have this, you only have a physical presence, and the walls between us are as high as the mountain range.

 This has to be the reason that politics is so bad.  The people involved have not made the spiritual connection required to have true wisdom revealed to them to be able to govern fairly.  I personally think the system is really poor and it does not represent the people not sure if it did in the past.  It is not doing the job today..
People get all upset about the refugee situation and hate on these people meanwhile, never understanding how the United States is behind so much of the trauma these same people are facing.  The Roman Catholic Church instigated the system and England took it over calling this the Westminster System of Government.  They wear the robes though as well.  This is very much in line with Ritual.  These rituals need to be exposed from whence they came from so everyone knows. 
What I can talk about with confidence here is the Cap of Maintenance that was given by the Pope to King Henry VII and Henry VIII..  This cap has great significance and it is worn when Parliament is opened.   crimson velvet lined with ermine, which is worn or carried by certain persons as a sign of nobility or special honor. It is worn with the high part to the fore, the tapering tail behind
