"Our first president, George Washington, selected the site for the White House in 1791. The White House is both the home of the President of the United States and his family, and a museum of American history. [It] is a place where history continues to unfold, hour by hour and day by day." (whitehouse.gov)
Peggy: Good morning! How would you like me to address you?
WH: "White House" is suitable.
Peggy: Every person in this country, even if they are newly arrived from other lands, knows about the White House. In fact, your image is familiar all around the world. You are a symbol as well as a residence and a living museum, and I expect your character changes constantly.
WH: Indeed, my Beingness is in a continuous state of activity, adjusting to even the most minute changes, accommodating the wishes of the family and requirements of the staff, and welcoming visitors. Fortunately, I do not require "rest" as humans do.
Peggy: Did you exist prior to the beginnings of construction?
WH: Oh, yes. Creator, of course, was aware of the timelines, and assigned me to the particular spot of land where building would take place at some point. My task at that time was to work with the Earth energies and beings of that location, and this work took a very long time before construction could be safely begun.
Peggy: Will you explain why so much preparation was required for the site?
WH: Understand that I do not refer to obvious issues such as soils and rock strata. The energetic signature of the place was in a state of great instability, and its complexities required delicate handling.
Peggy: What if this preliminary work had not been done?
WH: Strife and rubble had been foreseen, as was just shown to you. [In a brief vision.]
Peggy: Do you consider yourself to be a protector of the humans occupying the building and land?
WH: Well, it is the nature of any building to provide protection, primarily from the elements in the most basic types of buildings. While protection is one of my roles, I do not have the ability to take action to deflect danger or threats. If such assaults occur, the integrity of my structure is the greatest expression of protection for the inhabitants.
Peggy: What was it like for you, when the British set fire to the White House and other government buildings in 1814?
WH: It was not unexpected. However, it certainly resulted in major changes to the energies of the place. The determination, love, and dedication of those who accomplished the restoration added to and restored the strength of the whole.
Peggy: Forty-four different presidential families have lived in the White House so far.
WH: Yes. Naturally, each brings their own energies, desires, and intentions with them. I am designed to endure despite any lower or undesirable energies that might be brought within. At the same time, I—and the land—thrive when positive energies inhabit the residence. On any given day, you understand, there is quite a mixture of energies within my structure, and this can be perceived by sensitive humans.
Peggy: Many of the Presidents have had wives, children, and pets while they lived in the White House.
WH: Yes, the presence of beloved partners, animals, and children raises the vibration of my presence. Also, any form of cultivation of beauty—such as the famous Rose Garden—and loving caretaking of the land or the structure has a definite effect on the overall energies.
Peggy: You have said that you are not able to take action to defend your structure. Do you have the ability to steer someone toward one of the gardens if he or she is feeling sad or overwhelmed, for example?
WH: Ah, now you've gotten the picture! Although I myself would not do so, there is a multitude of Others who care for the plants and the land, and they do gently guide particular humans in the way you have described. Their ministrations are not confined to the outdoor spaces
Peggy: Are angels part of the Others?
WH: Yes. The White House also has its own team of angels. That would be a separate discussion if you desire more information.
Peggy: I'd like to ask about President Lincoln's spirit, which has been seen many times in the building.
WH: I shall say that the dedication, determination, and love that powered his presidential role were so strong, that a soul fragment has remained in the building. Sightings, as you call them, are intended to encourage, inspire, and remind witnesses of the importance of living your truth, in spite of controversy and threats of harm.
Peggy: What else would you like people to know about you, and your role?
WH: I welcome all who come to visit, to be reminded of the history that lives on in this place [Washington D.C.]. There is an energetic network connecting all the historical buildings and sites, including those not yet discovered and/or officially acknowledged. Perhaps a visitor will bring something new and historically valuable into the light! This talking is complete.

We practice for these times, for times like this in the world. We go to our mat, under our shawl, sit on our cushion, to find peace amid the rubble of grief, rage, and fear. We attend to our practice precisely so that when the tides of emotion are strong, so is our practice. We return again and again to our breath, to our body and mind in the moment, returning to ourselves. Our ancestors developed these practices because they knew—they knew that we could be swept off our feet by our emotions, our ability to choose wisely blinded by the redness of rage or the waters of our grief
