there are very smart people for whom this situation is unacceptable including 23 generals who opposed him. Surely, smarter peeps than I are putting their heads together to address what looks like a bloodless coup.
I was thinking the other day of who might have the savvy, influence and personal charisma to power the resistance-- one person came to mind: Barack Obama
Does anyone have a read on what influence he will have in the next few months or years?
Funny that you came up with Obama; I have been thinking about him all day. In my mind's eye he had his sleeves rolled up and was talking in a room with others. Believe me, on normal days, I do not think about Obama. Let's hope he is busy......
posted by @raincloud In addition, I feel some quiet pulse of resistance coming in the country.
Yes.
I would like to suggest that we keep sending Kamala energy. As a Libra, I know I have to balance hope vs acceptance. Doing that still allows me to feel intuitively the importance of the next few weeks. I was shown an image (not mine, nor my own intuition), of Kamala where she was at first despondent and appalled and then, after taking a moment, striding forward and into a bright sunlit path ahead of her. At the same time I was given to understand that the t "win" was a coup and that it will ultimately be revealed. How soon of course is wide-open. HOWEVER, it CAN be influenced by loving and lighted energy sent to Kamala and her team to for them to search diligently below the surface with the Light guiding them to Truth. Being concerned about "false hope" I certainly had to question myself and the direction I was being given. As I am in the midst of a fairly intense health crisis, I need to be positive. Therefore, I must accept as current reality what appears to be true YET I must also continue to send to the dems overall, and especially to Kamala, "If you don't look you won't find." Actually, I strongly suspect they ARE doing just that, LOOKING AND FINDING but 1) as I have posted many times, the dark is sneaky; and 2)doing things by the correct protocol especially in government, is usually is wise. I suspect that what we are seeing as early "giving in" is in fact, doing the right thing per our Constitution and laws, WHILE seeking TRUTH below the surface in the murkiness of shenanigans. Just because it seems that it is impossible (messing with the voting machines or something!) doesn't actually mean it is hopeless, let alone impossible. It was impossible years ago to do what we are doing now, digital communication, so NOTHING is impossible. Channel Alice in Wonderland and think Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast!
I am looking at the time constraint as if it is a hallway, not a cross-country road—that is, the time available prevent the final actualization of the coup is short. Someone wrote perhaps Obama was seeking answers, that would not surprise me. Wondering this or that simply made me crazy so I stopped and I am sending ENERGY. And whatever happens next month as the immediate hallway ends, we STILL must send Light and ENERGY to the Country and the Light as it continues to pry out the Truth from the dark. I have an inkling that what seems passive on the surface in terms of the dems is actually pretty intense in terms of "if not in time for now, than for the future."
It behooves us to gather as much Light and Positives and enfold ourselves AND the country in Light and Love and most of all in TRUTH REVEALED, rather than roiling in the dementedness of what has so far been proposed by t's team.
I also want to just note that Spirit can be dark. Someone was wondering how other psychics thought t was the answer. Well, just because it is Spirit doesn't mean it is LIGHTED Spirit, that's why I was taught to ALWAYS put LIGHT around me when meditating. Or doing anything, really, be it driving my car or sending Energy during Circle. I call it my "Glenda the Good Bubble" & I see myself enfolded in a sphere of brilliant White Light, and that any negative that comes toward me is immediately reflected AWAY from me, and then dissolves, no longer carrying any power. If I am feeling particularly vulnerable I say the following:
Prayer for Deleting Negative or Misqualified Energies, Thoughtforms, Entities
Father/Mother God send whatever help is necessary in whatever form is necessary to take this energy HERE AND NOW to its right place in the universe. All cords and all connections are cut NOW. The void left by this eradication is now filled with Light, Love, Divine Guidance, Right Action, *(any other adjectives you wish to fit in!) THE DOOR IS SEALED. That which we send away is met by the Light and taken to its proper place in the universe.
I've posted it before, but maybe it is OK to refresh the thought. By asking for help to remove the negatives from around me, I am able once again to breathe and welcome Light instead of sinking into my own fears. Putting protection around oneself while meditating was the first, and very sternly taught lesson I was taught all those years ago when I was just starting out seeking answers through metaphysics and spirituality.
@Jeanne has wisely advised us in the new thread to write with dignity. I have to admit it was upsetting to me to read all the fear in the Forum. Let us take that advice to heart. Face and acknowledge our fears, and THEN go forward sharing as much Light as we can. Light, like Love grows with giving. So the more Light you share, the more you shall find enfolding you.
Here are some "reststops" from my Path Forward that may help you.
The poems are by Raymond John Baughan who was a Unitarian/Universalist Pastor I discovered in my 20s,
Poems by Raymond John Baughan
The Sound of Silence, a Book of Meditations 1963
(There are no actual titles only numbers)
Seven
What is required of us in our time
Is that we go down
Into uncertainty
Where what is new is old as every morning
and what is well known is not known as well:
That we go down
into the most human
where living men have vanished
and the music of their meaning
has been trapped and sealed.
What is asked of us in our time
is that we break open
our blocked caves
and find each other.
Nothing less will heal the anguished spirit,
nor release the heart to ac in love.
Twenty-two
Serenity has moved
through troubled hours and days
like gulls which scull the sky.
The calm behind the seethe
and backslide on the shore
is like a moment’s balance
in a sea of thought,
A pause for power to bear
the searching speech of care.
Twenty-six
The peaks of clouds are
Mounting in the sky
To race the dart of sun;
And wheeling gulls make
Chutes of morning air
Over the moving sea.
Not even what we love
Stands still.
And we are breath and
Light and reach;
Our pulses leap
With bursting song.
The winds are music
In our voice;The reaching, our desire.
One more poem, and I have posted this one before, but it seems particularly pertinent on this Path Forward. I do not know who the author is, whoever it was, well, thank you.
I Am made from the Light, Love, and Power of God.
All things are condensed Light.
When I eat, I am consuming Light.
When I speak, I speak the sound of Light.
When I dress, I clothe myself in Light.
When bathe, I bathe in Light.
When I breathe, I breathe Light.
When I see, I witness the Light in all things
When I touch others, I feel the Light.
I am nourished in all ways through Light and
I nourish others with Light.
Send Light to America and to each other. It WILL make a difference, even if if it is invisible to our current sight.
Namaste
Interesting to read that several of you are mentioning Obama. Yesterday during Jeanne’s Circle of Light meditation she mentioned for us to think about and bring in the energies and characteristics of someone you admire of a mentor. The first person who popped in my mind was Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the second was Michelle Obama.
@tesseract very unpopular opinion but I said I'd be honest. This the only space I feel safe in right now. Its the only space I can express my fears honestly and with hope from this community. I'm working very hard to tamp my fears and proceed cautiously into this future.
I keep getting the impression that expressing fears and negative thoughts brings down the group.
As to your statement about spirit, yeah, I realized after I said it out loud that there are unkind spirits too. I had never thought about that but it makes sense to me. I feel like whatever veil I've been living under has been lifted. I'm seeing all kinds of things I do not wish to see. But Im taking the time to process and deal with it.
@tesseract beautiful post about acceptance AND doing what we can- normally I think of that as local involvement and when you do spend a day helping elderly neighbor or volunteering it does put everything in a different perspective.
And great reminder- since the weekend before the election I have been getting messages from black Madonna and dark goddess isis. It has had to do with shadow work and transforming through being forged in a fire.
light and love to all this community.
This community has given me so much calm in the past few weeks, that I can't express my gratitude towards you all enough. After Kamala's speech to be the stars in the night, and after some posts here mentioning it, I put a little night light in my window that I turn on each night. Something about it does make me feel better, warding off the darkness.
I also picked up my Thoth Tarot deck again, I had taken one of Jeanne's classes during Covid and it was helpful then, but it fell to the wayside. It has been helpful now, each morning I ask two questions, what can I know about today, and what can I know about the current status of the election. Yesterday, I pulled The Tower card for my Election question. Even in that scary red card, I saw hope, I saw the eye at the top, shining its light on D.C., the tower looked like the Capitol building melting with all the people/rats fleeing. Today I pulled the 9 of Wands - Strength for the election.
On Wednesday, I noticed the most wonderful sense of calm wash over me. I even turned on the news a little and it didn't have any impact on my calm. I didn't leave it on long, just enough to watch Nicole Wallace roll her eyes internally at the Fox News guy pick for the Pentagon. This also gave me a little hope, I know I'm not alone in my frustrations and fears. So thank you again to everyone here, even when you don't realize it, you're shining your lights brightly for others lost in the dark.
@impassionate Hi, I speak for myself and how the fears that are oft repeated here affect me greatly as a psychic empath. We absorb energies and often will protect ourselves from a barrage of negative energy so we can stay grounded and calm amidst any psychological storms that are occurring. Trust that we feel it all bigly. Ugh.
Of course, this is a safe space to share fear and trepidation, but it’s also a place where we’re encouraged to focus on our abilities to project MORE hope and light, even when we’re struggling greatly. I suppose if someone can be careful not to share the same fears repeatedly, it helps to cut down the ripple effect. Posting every day that one lives in terror only amps up everyone’s terror. A collective consideration to help others deal w rapidly changing norms via encouragement and real life helpful strategies is a more empowering path.
Negative thinking fuels negative energy and while it’s currently a big stretch to think positively, it’s also imperative for psychic empaths to utilize our power to bring in light and calm for the good of all.
Oh man did I have a wonderful sleep last night. And I don't know if is just in my head but I can't help but feel something changed. Positively.
Said reason for a wonderful sleep was the dreams. The many dreams. I had one and then I semi-woke up and another another. Again and again. A kaleidoscope of dreams.
All of them were different, many fantasy. Some modern time. Some post apocalypse. These elements feel window dressing. Like "don't take the fact you are in a post-apocalypse as indicating an apocalypse' and more 'your mind enjoys adventures like that so we used it' sort of way.
But they all had set up in common, even when semi-woke up and then fell asleep.
Things started badly. I was running, or there was a disaster, or the bad guys were winning.
Here is an interesting element. Most of the times I was a me-type person. Sometimes though I was in the view of the 'bad guys' and I was winning. I was like "all my dreams have come true".
But then things switched. Information was revealed. Items of power were found. The base was secured. People came together. On and on again. Something changed. Something flipped the script and now the bad guys were losing, were running, and the good guys were winning. If I was in the mode of the bad guy then at this point I had my pov switch and now I was in the good guys.
Again and again this happened last night. Dream after dream. Version after version.
The only way I can describe it is feeling as if something happened and we moved onto a different path or something.
(I hadn't mentioned this before but on election night, around 2-3 am I woke up in the sweats. Completely drenched, hot, uncomfortable to a major level. Even though my house was at normal temperature. It went away - and it wasn't like I got sick - but it was weird how my body was reacting to something.)
It was such an amazing thing. And it felt more than just a normal dream. (I should mention dreams that come at me fast in ways that my analytical mind can't activate as a defense, I can literally go 'nope, this is a dream' within nightmares, is part of the reason I feel its important.)
So yeah I wonder, did anyone else feel anything last night or something. I mean even if not this feeling, no this sequence of dreams, was great. I remember in one of my half-wake moments going "this isn't over yet, I want more" and I got it, more of the actions and fun. And more of the feelings of 'things changed, and the bad was pushed away and we are on the right path again.'
@herukane I've been having similarly-themed dreams the past few nights - things seeming dark & scary at first, but suddenly flipping around to lightness & joy. I posted about one such dream featuring Anakin Skywalker, and there was another dream yesterday about being caught in the agony of giving birth; being surrounded by calm, loving women; thinking I was giving birth to a boy but suddenly finding out it was a girl.
My gut intuition is still very much in the "stay calm; things will be okay" camp. It may look like we're stuck on a very dark path, but I sincerely believe we are not going to stay on that path for too long.
