Tomorrow,
or maybe today by the time you read this, the people of the United
States of America go to vote, in an election that seems as far from
united as one can get. But underneath all of the opposing beliefs,
underneath all of the anger and emotion, underneath all of the terrible
truths and outright lies, there is a strong river that is very united.
That
river is made up of everybody's energy, and everybody's energy right
now is surging with a power that has been gradually coming to life in
recent months, years and for some, decades. That energy is made up of
all of our souls, all of our lifeforce combined. It knows what we don't
know, it remembers what we have forgotten. But it wants us to know, and
it wants us to remember, and so it urges us on in different ways. It
pokes and prods us. We may not consciously recognise that this prodding
and poking we feel is ultimately coming from inside us. We may think it
is coming from outside, from THAT situation, and from THOSE people or
THAT person. But situations and people are just players in our game.
They are external triggers who make us cry and rage and shout 'No more!'
and "I've had enough!".
We
are united by the knowing that we have all, in some way, been blinded
and oppressed from being able to live freely. We may all be pointing our
fingers in different directions as to what has caused this lack of
freedom and power, but underneath it all, we all have this same innate
instinct: I am here to be free, I am here to utilise my power in a good
way, I have SO much power and I can't have it held back any more!
The
way in which we respond to this innate instinct determines whether we
embark on an inner-self search and find mission, or become activists, or
inform ourselves about a zillion topics and act accordingly, or rage
against the 'they' that we perceive as the enemy stopping us from being
who we are.
Our
energy fields are layered with memories and emotions, accumulated over
lifetimes and generations, influencing our view of the world, our
attitudes, our beliefs, and the way we see ourselves and others. The
science of Epigenetics has proven this. Our beautiful souls can become
like shiny wooden floors that have been covered in dust. That dust
doesn't just go away of its own accord. Some people, following their
inner urges, have done a lot of sweeping and clearing and so the dust is
barely there anymore. Others have a lot of dust, and so outer cyclones
come along to shake it all up and out.
This
election seems like it is about two main players, who seemingly have
the country's and world's fate in their hands. But it is not, and they
do not. It is, among other things, about rousing the nation's attention
to recognise that the role of President is not the all-powerful role we
might have once thought, or hoped, it to be. That's why this election
feels like a tragic-comedy reality show. We live in an age of
transparency. Nothing and no-one can hide their true intentions or true
agenda anymore. Scripted facades can no longer pass as truth. If it
looks like a duck and it sounds like a duck then chances are there's a
reason we are all going around saying "Gosh, this really feels like I'm
watching a reality show!"
It
is now more common knowledge than ever that corporate and other
interests are behind the scenes, pulling strings, making decisions that
have less to do with what is good for the people, and more to do with
money and power. You could put the most amazing, kind, intelligent,
good-hearted person in that position, and as the system stands TODAY,
that person would have to answer to levels of authority way above him or
her, and be powerless in a lot of ways to be answerable to the people.
We
are all looking for the right good man or woman to be in that position
so that the country (and world, due to the US's influence) can change.
But the system isn't built that way. The 'right' person can't change a
huge corrupt system that is way bigger than any one person. What is most
likely to change this old system is a collapse from the bottom: regular
people unplugging from it and refusing to support it, grassroots
movements like the stand happening at Standing Rock, social media feeds
sharing information, raising awareness and opening eyes, from you and I
consciously choosing what we do, how we think, how we treat each other,
what we eat, what we buy, the companies and banks we choose to give our
money to, or not. It's about speaking up and taking action when and
where guided. It's the simple stuff: being kind and compassionate,
open-minded and open-hearted. And politicians aren't in charge of any of
that.
You
decide how to treat your neighbour. You choose how to raise your
children. You decide which news networks to follow or unfollow. You
choose which products to buy, which causes to support, which topics you
want to get loud about. Whoever becomes the next President, they
actually hold less power than we give them credit for. And YOU hold way,
way more power than you realise. It isn't going to be one magical
President that is going to make you feel safe or ensure the water, air
and Earth remains clean. We don't yet live in a totally enlightened
society with a wise round table of elders guiding the world. Right now,
change is up to us.
There
is a Hopi prophecy that says "We are the ones we are waiting for." At
this time, it is our responsibility to embody this prophecy in whatever
ways we are called to do. Some people pray and are mocked for not taking
action. Others take action and are criticised because "it's all
within". Let's stop bickering about the right ways to change the world
and consider that maybe there are 7 billion of us because there is a lot
to do here, a lot to change, and literally billions of ways we can each
contribute our positive energy and influence toward that change. And
yes, even the two reality show stars of this election, as much as you
want to just look away, they too are playing their part.
Whoever
'wins' tomorrow, know that the true power at this point in our
evolution is with us, we the regular people. The politicians will keep
playing their reality show for as long as they can get away with it, but
the curtains are closing on them pretty quickly. In the meantime there
is plenty we can do on a daily basis to contribute to the world we want
to create.
Whoever
'wins', trust that the river of energy that is the souls of the people,
is ultimately the energy that is carrying the country forward. Neither
candidate is holding the energy of 'winner', because neither has actual
control of the direction of this river. Both are used to driving from a
vehicle that runs on elite rules and ego's, but that vehicle doesn't
have much petrol left.
Am
genuinely sending a lot of love and prayers over your way US peeps,
it's going to be a week of shock and upset either way for half the
country. Our thoughts are with the millions of really good people over
there, who just want what is rightfully theirs: freedom and living with
authentic power. Everyone has different beliefs regarding how we go
about having these things but know that these things are already yours.
Ask that you open up to your true freedom, and authentic power, in a
good way.
