Okay I was messing around on windy252's "Not sure if this is accurate" thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=245x29324yesterday and feeling as though there has got to be a spiritual solution to our collective disempowerment, and am looking for feedback from this group of very wise souls.
Knowing all too well that brevity has never been my strong suit (understatement), coupled with the fact that my lengthier posts in GD (2 examples)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2403794http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3569357have rarely been flamed perhaps simply because the trolls often have the attention span of gnats, I'm torn between doing one of my long winded diatribes versus trying to hone a succinct and positive way to goose the maximum number of people to empower themselves through affirmation, prayer, dispelling the oppressive collective fear, and focusing their consciousness for the greater good over the next two weeks and throughout Pluto's transit over the Gallactic Center, if not forevermore.
I intend to refine this message over the next several days before posting it in GD.
My guidance suggests that I should share this parable with you all prior to trying to sort this all out. . .
A parable that may just illustrate why ethical use of power has been
such a rarity on our sphere:
This was written last year for a friend who was being harassed by droves of women who were continually projecting inappropriately onto him and then over reacting to his subsequent and inevitable dismissal of them.
He said he had abused seductive tendencies in a prior life and that had been his then downfall. But he was still doing it but failed to recognize it, the silly sot.
So after I overcame a nasty urge to address him as "you brute. . ." sent him this:
". . .Here's sort of a decent parable regarding the whole ridiculously obtuse process.
This is from a guided meditation I facilitated for a dear, dear friend many, many years ago. As I'm sure you are probably well aware, fire esoterically represents creative (aka sexual) energy, though all the elements certainly play a role in real intimacy. Anyway, the raw desire related to sexuality that is Martian is definitely represented by fire.
So my dear friend astral traveled to a so called "fire school" and sauntered into a classroom and sat in the back of the room. The instructor said speaking to my friend, "OMG you have such phenomenal energy and talent you don't need instruction or fire school at all. Here's a torch" and he tossed him one. "Go and inspire the world."
So my friend got all inflated and grabbed the torch and proceeded to ignite an unholy host of regressively destructive conflagrations in really inappropriate places and sooner or later got recognized and exposed as a totally insufferable and dangerous pyromaniac.
Then my friend sheepishly returned to the classroom and again sat in the back of room and got ignored for a while. Another inexperienced and insecure person entered the room, got their ego inflated, became a hot shot by experiencing the same patronizing welcome as my friend had experienced earlier. MY friend looked up, thinking he maybe might want to warn the new upstart but was just too totally ashamed of his destructive urges and prior horrific acts to do so.
Then after lengthy instruction, my friend got initiated into being a fire worker and had to go around extinguishing all the fires and clean up all the messes started by and resulting from the totally inexperienced and naive fire upstarts.
Ultimately after a seeming eternity of contending with a whole lot of suffering and needless destruction he became a fire master and protector and was an embodiment of the creative eternal fire. He became conscientious, helpful, and totally mindful of where it is appropriate to start a fire and where it is just plain NOT.
I know that's fairly prosaic but feel it is very apt when it comes
illustrating how most tend to abuse fire (aka sexuality & power) until, as the old adage goes, they get burned.
Or, as an older guy who was a total character I once tutored once said in an intensely maniacal & guttural voice, "Look I'm an EGOMANIAC with an insecurity complex. . .and there is NOTHING more DANGEROUS than that."
Like most, and like my friend in astral fire school, I abused power in at least one lifetime (as a Crusader-ughhh) and then was a martyr and a victim for countless more. An astute woman once put it this way. "You've been martyred so many times that your guides just say, "Woh there she goes again." " The palpable emotion I remember from abusing power was that after many, many prior lifetimes witnessing and experiencing far too much injustice and suffering, I got angry at God. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Oddly enough, I remember a redemptive moment towards the end of that life where I suddenly felt an intense heart connection with one of my intended victims who had such a blindingly magnificent life spark that I spared and saved him. I've been a pacifist ever since but certainly have made a slew of other interpersonal blunders.
In this life, I've always known that abuse of seductive energies were an enormous faux pas that would result in utter disasters.
At one point though, I thought that there were basically three types of
relationships between the genders: those of teacher/student, mother/son, and those of equal partners. The former of the two are often riddled with projections and imbalances, yet with the latter anything is possible. As far as I can tell, it involves hooking up on intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical planes simultaneously. It is most sadly a complete and total rarity.
Though I know it is fully possible and is void of expectations.
I cling to and encourage that ideal as often as I can. Silly me."
Anyway how does all of this relate to the upcoming election you may be wondering. :)
Welp it would appear that we have collectively empowered some seriously unconscious "fire starters" who have no clue about or choose to ignore the universal law of "cause and effect." I've noticed many times before in my life that people without consciences (aka sociopaths) tend to experience few if any repercussions from the carnage they leave in their wakes. It is as though they push those repercussions into future lives as they feel no guilt whatsoever. Guilt would be the hook but for those who project their shadow outside of themselves entirely, it seems to be delayed.
Thus the predictably tiresome and painful dynamic of persecutor and victim goes on and on seemingly ad infinitum. Well if we could collectively scream "ENOUGH ALREADY !!!" maybe that would do the trick.
Yet all too many collectively indulge in spewing anger and hatred and it appears to be self defeating and empowers further those very usurpers of power.
Our government was never intended to be a rigged spectator sport. But with our voting systems compromised and the power of the so called "special interests" that would appear to be what it's become.
So what my somewhat "off the wall" theory is that there may just be a way to influence the elections with enough of our hearts and minds together in unison as that is what can never be taken away from us or undermined really. It may be the quintessence of what makes us all ONE whilst still being uniquely ourselves.
If there is any facet of technology that could be influenced by consciousness it would more than likely be computers. If you don't agree then consider asking a geek or techie or two about inexplicable anomalies.
Of course it sounds irrational but so our those in power. They have consistantly refuted all our rational tools and arguments which are inclusive of verification through copious data from mathmatical and scientific and have defied history and have done so with presumed impunity for nearly 6 years if you haven't noticed. They simply dismiss our claims as "reality based." TRANSLATION: They are using low level magic and mind control. Their's is based on falsehood and fear whereas if we draw from truth and love and humor, can you imagine what would be possible. . ?
It's mind boggling to me when * arrogantly says "I don't pay attention to polls" I wonder if anyone else interprets that statement as declaring that he has no regard for the will of the people whatsoever. Some "decider." Yikes.
How can we in this humble little forum possibly inspire as many people as possible to re-empower themselves in the simplist of ways and in short order and validate what is stated in this prayer. . .?
"I am that I am, and the divinity in me is going to make a difference on this planet. Even my small efforts will create an energy that is larger than I can imagine, and combined with the efforts of others, will create a lasting and eternal peace on earth."
Perhaps by saying something like this. . .
Every time you feel the intense sorrow about anticipating the sometimes seemingly inevitable defeat, consider stiffening your spine, focusing your mind and saying aloud or thinking really loudly and firmly. . .
"I'm co creating with spirit that any malicious code implanted or secreted in the vote tally counting software be neutralized in the upcoming elections, and any malfeasance that does occur be so blatant that it will be exposed and corrected immedietely, so that the true will of the electorate will be revealed and true justice can be restored." (feel free to modify as you feel is appropriate)
Very simply, if they can rig 'em maybe we can fix 'em. . .with our hearts and minds.
I've posted this before and I'm dead serious about it.
Having approached this issue from every imaginable traditional angle for nearly 4 years, and having written to every pundit, plutocrat, and politician I could think of to virtually no avail, this may be our only recourse that won't take years of legislative and legal wrangling to remedy this most dire situation.
It's really about equalizing the playing field by acknowledgement and expression of the powerful life sparks within each and every one of our hearts.
A wise woman once told a story of a meditation she had where she was confused because people were continually seeking her wisdom and she saw some of them holding more brilliant life sparks and some holding sparks that were quite dim. She asked for guidance on this disparity. All she heard from her guides was, "that's how we see them as well."
Yet our celebrity obsessed culture is wired for us to project our divinity (spark) externally, and our power on those who are far less than conscious of or choose to ignore universal law.
"ENOUGH ALREADY !!!" indeed.
Sorry to babble on here but I was deeply compelled to share what I have been ruminating on for a long while.
What spiritual solutions if any, do any of you sense hovering. . .?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
