Recently Normen and I had dinner with 2 of our favorite people, Mark & Rachel. At the end of the evening Mark asked me, “What is your take on our political environment?” My response surprised him, which surprised me because I imagined he had already thought of these things…. So since my dear friends, who in my mind are 2 of the most conscious people I know, did not immediately see what seemed so clear to me, I am sharing with you here now…
From my perspective our Presidential “Race” is the best expression of our shadows the Universe could possibly give us. As a collective we have been so blind in so many ways. We have been fighting a war so intense within ourselves that we have simply been afraid to own it…. Instead we wage our battles and our wars with countries, ideologies, religions, corporations, with each other. We have a system in place that while it may be the best system currently, and I emphasize, may be, it is faulty at best and dangerous at worst. We just have to look at the state of our world for proof. We have so many cracks in the dam there is not enough plaster to plug up the holes and quite frankly the system is crumbling, even though it clings and “fights” to stay in tact.
I could not have consciously come up with better examples of extremes and caricatures of our shadows than the people being highlighted in our media and debates. We have Donald Trump as one extreme and Bernie Sanders at the total opposite end of the spectrum, with Hillary Clinton in between… Then of course, there are those even deeper in the recesses of our mind that get very little “airtime”, “acknowledgment” or “support.” These are the “underdogs” because these people do not stand a chance in a world where duality “runs the show”. Seriously, who is writing this script? Oh, I forgot, we are…
We have been living inside our minds, trying to create a “safe space”, creating walls (let’s build a wall to keep them out and keep them unseen). We’ve been stifling our emotions so we don’t express ourselves fully for fear of overwhelm or being too much, too happy, too sad and for God’s sake, do not admit I have any hate for anyone or anything because after all; I am a good person and I don’t ask for too much… We have bottled up our feelings for fear of ??? That is a question we must each answer for ourselves. What do you fear that you keep bottled up so tightly it has to be expressed outside of you? Which of these candidates represents your greatest fears?
This may seem like I am professing doom and gloom, but that is not the case. I say this now sincerely because I truly believe this can all turn out to be one of our greatest blessings. If enough of us can claim the fragmented aspects of our souls that keep coming “back in our faces” as something to resist, then this drama being played out in front of us, will indeed serve the highest purpose. We can come together as Individuals where our differences are celebrated, respected and even work in harmony for a better species of Humankind. To bring our Collective Hearts, Minds and Spirits to realize this World is resplendent with beauty, compassion and abundant resources which “naturally” support all life on our planet.
Are you ready, willing and able to go deeply within, to honestly access: Where am I holding back and what parts of me have I cut off, disowned, disallowed? How can I integrate those aspects of me so my world can be more harmonious, loving and kind? How can I radiate that kindness out into the world in a way that owns every aspect of being so nothing is left to fight against?
I pray we all wake up and realize we can create Heaven on Earth. First we have to know it’s possible, then we have to realize it is already available in the here and now, but we simply have to claim it. No-one outside of you can claim it for you.
I am ready, willing and able? Are you?
Blessings and Love, Always,
Debbie
