@michele-b your sentiments are deeply kind and perceptive! I feel your strength and beauty with every word! From one heart warrior to another, I humbly bow to your insightful awareness. We are in a time of great sadness, And a time of great awakening. Much grounding is needed! Your beautiful spirit and the love you so readily share is like an anchor for many ships in a stormy sea. We are all Sophia’s messengers bringing forth that sparkle of essence that lights the light, that lights the light, that lights the light. I want to thank you for this topic. It is my favorite!
Deep blessings and humble gratitude. Your post of recognition of shared energies and gifts was deeply moving.
During challenging times even the strongest need responsive recognition. May you always feel that as well as share it so beautifully.

I just discovered this thread. It is lovely @Michelle-b . Thank you!
I am enjoying reading your posts and the responses.
Blending the thread on national politics and spirituality with my own thread here on International events/politics or perhaps more widely--cultural or societal beliefs and personal experiences as influences on our politics.
Religion and spiritually are deep seated and experienced belief systems that form a cultural referencing point for looking and explaining our world and our place in it. Why are we here? What are we meant to be and do? And even why do others (i.e. those we perceive as not only "not us" but more often "not like us" and other cultural and organizing belief systems might be seen as fitting in here--such as politics.
iThis not truly a part of their religion or belief stem (nless say a deeply Bible or Koran based religious system were to take and use very specific passages --say an eye for an eye and whatever creates the foundation for Muslims who act out in revenge violence) thought and practice.
People who interweave politics into other aspects of their belief systems are just acting and reacting (much like the computer search algorithms previously brought up on this thread) from their human side not their original or true nature of God/goddess/Divine/good side.
We all mix and match our belief systems to express and even to release for many people their emotions as well as their beliefs.
A truly atheistic or truly practicing agnostic or full practicing any other belief based system to live by would not have such a need except in a fully anthropological way as in ordering the rules of the campsite so everyone sitting around the fire got fair based amounts of time to warm themsemselves or lets say cook their game meat after "accidentally" discovering that raw game meat made them ill and cooked did not.
If we perecive things as coming from spiritually guided principles in any sense of the word spiritual we always must ask ourselves"is this in the highest sense of doing good for the good of all" or is this justcme expressing as me with all of my own personal wants and needs having nothing whatsoever about caring for all others? In other words does the "divine godhead" take sides?
Or is this just let's say a very human algorithm going to the most obvious, most common search page of our most frequently acted upon results from another part of the system?
And we all need to look perhaps at our own "gut feelings " our "dreams" and our "vsions" as well as our "intuitions" with a similar lens.

Thank you all in both threads for such interesting discussions! ?
"What is the deal with spirituality mixing with QAnon and right-wing Politics? U.S. 2020 November Election– Presidential & Congressional – Welcome to Our Forum!
Thank you for those links. They are both so life-affirming and empowering. I needed them this morning. ?
This thread resonates truly and deeply with me. Thank you for starting it.
Oh thank you so much! It came to me as a topic and the words flowed even tippy tapping on a cell phone. But i worried about negative receptions by those who seek psychic but are not interested in anything spiritual much less religious.
Spirit guidance has pushed me more and more to avoid those things separating mankind and one another and to only follow my focus on holding space for others in the light but as throughput time, control and power and ego which leads us to politics as well as our base aspects of fighting for a place at the tribal fire are stronger now than frankly during the election.
We must each tread wisely but seek always to live the best and highest part of ourselves in the light.
The low tide reveals so much of the oceans depths and actions but the high tide is so equally lovely and powerful.
Let the sun as well as the moon guide our wisdom and our understandings.?

Yes, this thread resonates deeply with me, too. Thank you both so much for your posts and thoughts on this. It makes so much sense and meshes with my recent thoughts that we are all so much a product of our culture and that can influence us so deeply (in good and not-so-good ways.) It is so important, as Michele said, to view our own feelings and intuitions (as well as those of others we encounter) with the lens as she described.
I am catching up on this thread and the QAnon stuff -- I also have some friends and acquaintances who also share thoughts/info on being spiritually awakened right now, but they are full-on down the QAnon rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. It is really disturbing to see, especially in comparison to the forum here. Michele's and others posts above really help to clarify the differences and how we can view things to understand and keep our own compass clear.
Not sure if any of that made sense (struggling to phrase it the right way), but suffice it to say - thank you! You are saying what I could not put words to and it is important.
Yes yes yes! You expressed your thoughts and feelings beautifully!
Gratitude and blessings to you dear cc21.
