Baba,
I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I also agree that "if the dems don’t start impeachment hearings soon, they won’t have a chance of defeating the current pres." Like you, it can really get to me if I allow it. I'm glad that you're giving yourself a break, and will begin again. I'll end with Perriwinkle10's wise words:
[C]ontinue to stay kind and Loving, fine tune our self sufficiency skills and just prepare for the time when we are supposed to be the helpers. Afterall, I think that's why we're all here in the first place.
Keep the faith, my friends.
You guys warm my heart. I was a little nervous to write that because I know how passionate we all feel in regards to this situation. It's difficult to take a step back and ponder if this is all part of the process when so many of us want to pound our fists and pull our hair out. Lol!
I know one thing that has helped me in all of this, is that regardless of whether or not we end up with a new leader or trump for another 4 years, the universe maintains a steady path that will happen regardless of what political party is in charge. The earth, the spirit... it's so much bigger than this stuff. What is intended will always be. I hope I'm around to see the new rebirth of the collective heart. The Hopi people say when we all come back to the earth, to loving her and remembering where we came from - that is when we enter the 5th world of love and goodness. I'm ready for that!!
I love what you are writing , Perriwinkle! I plan to do a group healing this Thursday at Read the Future Night, as well as a healing of our world. Join us if you want to participate.
It's hard not to get down at times. I appreciate you all being honest about it and my heart just bursts for you. I felt that way recently (as if it didn't show in my posts). But I started swimming again (literally swimming laps) and it brought me back, along with gardening which always grounds me.
When I get myself back, I remember we are here because of these difficult events. We are not going down the drain with the darkness. We are rising. We need to remember that and do whatever we can to help ourselves rise. Sometimes that means we have to allow ourselves to feel bad. Then when we can, we reset.
Perriwinkle10,
I think you've shown courage writing what you did. And in a way, your words settled my monkey mind. I took a long, peaceful exhale. And then I heard the words, "let it go." It's like hearing you've got a life-threatening illness; you don't like it, but you accept it. I can live my life the best way I can, right here, right now. I'm not giving up; just letting go. And I'll work with those higher angels to do my part. Besides -- the final chapter hasn't been written.
The only problem with the idea of letting go ... waiting for the chips to fall so we can rebuild ... those ideas are for the privileged. People are DYING. Families are separated. Marginalized people are suffering and will continue to suffer. Rights are being stripped. Wars are more likely. Genocides possible. To say “wait it out” just says “my life might be inconvenienced, but that’s all. I can sit back and wait for the rebuilding.” Thousands ... possibly hundreds of thousands ... will not live long enough to wait it out.
I’ve read frightening predictions of 45 being re-elected in 2020. I don’t see how that
could be a good thing. At least for me. I’m barely hanging on emotionally while I see
this country go down the toilet. Pelosi is letting fear keep her from doing the impeachment inquiry which would make it easier to get information. Every day that passes keeps the ignorant from learning the truth, or at least being exposed to it.
Russia had its hands all over the 2016 election and already does now. Why would any Democratic candidate even bother to run if they are just going to give this away to fear? They are waiting for more proof? That would be like waiting for more evidence before saying Jack Ruby killed Oswald although everyone watching it happen. This insanity is more than anything I could ever imagine happening in the US. There is proof in the Mueller Report. But the Dems just get upset while people that are subpoenaed don’t show up. The Dems did nothing about Merrick Garland being held up. And at this rate, they will do nothing about a dictator taking over the country. I’m so angry. I don’t see how I can survive what more this black soul will do in the next 6 years, let alone the next 4. There were predictions of him going silent, perhaps having a stroke. How I wish that one came true.

I don't think it's a matter of letting things go or waiting for the chips to fall...and I certainly do not think that positive vibrations are merely a privileged mindset. In fact, history has shown us that some of the poorest countries generally have more of a positive outlook than we do. Which speaks measures in regards to many people's general spiritual outlook on the bigger picture of why we are here.
I suppose it's a matter of perogative. I could spend day in and day out in a state of rage and fear for myself and the world around me, it's an easy hole to dig as an empath. But energy feeds energy, hateful thoughts feed hate and it's a choice we make every day to decide what kind of energy we want to feed.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sitting here with horse blinders on, sipping an ice tea, waiting in safety until the apocalypse. Lol. But the positive impacts I choose to make in order to change the world we live in for the better, are within my attainable space.
Raising empathetic and kind children, so that their generation of adults are better than mine.
Donating money to local charities.
Starting a farmers market all by myself in my little town.
Being a teacher and impacting hundreds of teenagers at our high school every single year.
Learning how to garden and grow my own food. Cutting down on waste and becoming self sufficient.
Smiling at every person I walk by when I go to town, making a point to make someone laugh every day, telling a stranger how much I love their hair...etc.
I'm not marching in the streets or signing petitions. I'm not calling my governor or spitting at the TV every time I see trump making a mockery of himself and our nation. Because I know that no matter what... politics will always play out the way they have always played out...greed...fear...greed...fear.
I choose to make my voice loud by doing things very small. Those small things change one person at a time and those people go on to change another...and I go to bed every night feeling accomplished that I made a difference in the world and when everything is said and done, the lives I help better- are going to be the lives that stick around and help other's when we do have our reset. It's the only choice I have in this world and it's why I have faith that all will be well. Maybe not in our lifetime but I sure hope my actions impact others well beyond my years.
When I speak of letting go, it has nothing to do with dropping out, not caring, or just waiting it out. My eyes are wide open to what is happening around me. I am angry, and my heart is breaking. Letting go for me means that I stop spinning with my strong emotions and getting nowhere. It means that I will continue to do whatever I can to make this world a better place. I try to do that every day, even if it’s in small ways – and hopefully create a positive ripple effect, that will extend outward and be passed on.
More importantly, when I say letting go, it means that I get out of my own way, and I ask for divine help – not just for my own peace of mind, but to clearly hear what I am being guided to do on this earth. I believe we’re all here to be co-creators with the divine. And to me, it’s our co-creation that will change our country and world.
Reading the latest post on here reminds me of something another psychic I follow says. Do not give in to negative that the administration is spewing. The more you believe that the moron will be reelected the more you put that energy out to the universe. I actually felt better after I watch Nancy Pelosi on Jimmy Kimmel the other nite. DOn't forget there are other investigations going on besides the Mueller investigations. Calling for impeachment with out iron clad case is exactly what moronwants. He knows the Senaate will never try him so that to him is a win. I still believe once his finances come out and they will, that there is something really big to hit.
I am taking time off from all politics right now. My weeds need to be picked and I have a couple of good books to read.
T will not serve a second term.
When I tune out the noise I feel the same way Lawrence. The constant noise freaks me out though.
I agree Lawrence. Either he pulls a Richard Nixon and quits, he loses re-election, or he's incapacitated by health issues. I do, however, get the sense that something weird in politics is going to happen in 2020, and that we may not get the across-the-board blue triumph we're hoping for. I don't know whether it will be election meddling, a scandal erupting among the Democrats, the ripples of an economic downturn, or something else entirely. It's just that I'm always picking up on some sort of unsettledness when I think of 2020.
@ deetoo & Perriwinkle: Your comments remind me of something I read in an essay by the British writer Charlotte du Cann:
"In the spiritual years – I guess that was mostly the ’90s...I sang and danced alongside a band of fellow seekers moving through the great landscapes of the Americas. We were searching for a deeper relationship with the world and our ‘hard yoga for the earth’, as Gary Snyder once described it, pushed us into some very difficult corners, not least among ourselves. We spent a lot of time dealing with the karma of our families and connecting with indigenous medicine plants. We all thought, foolishly, that the collective shift of consciousness we yearned for would somehow just happen...but history or destiny dragged us back to our home countries. The ancestors told us: 'those who caused the problem have to deal with it'. And then they disappeared.
The problem, we knew, wasn’t going to have a neat solution, like a mindfulness class you could do every Tuesday. 'I am another yourself' was not a mantra: it meant going through all the files your cultural history threw at you, being treated like an exile, losing most of your dignity and your spending power, and then having to start over again."
So Perriwinkle, I think it's valid to bring up the role of tribulation. A new dawn is not going to come about with a snap of the fingers or just because one political party beat the other at the ballot box. We should even be questioning our daydreams that some superhero individual like Robert Mueller will save the day. Right now lots of "cultural files" are being thrown at us Americans - our sordid history of colonialism and neutering sovereign governments; the vampiric binary of the two party system; the way blind individualism breeds competition and subjugation - and maybe absorbing that onslaught for several years to come is the only way we will fully mature into our role as change makers.
Which brings me to your point of divine help, deetoo. The persistent darkness can teach us that we are in fact given more that we can handle in life, and that's the point. We need to learn to ask for help not just from the people around us, but also from the ancestors and spirits that are watching on in horror as we kill the planet and self segregate into myopic echo chambers. There are reservoirs of wisdom in those mystical realms, just waiting for us to bow our heads in humility and seek guidance.
Coyote, I feel we have entered the tribulation, but at the same time, recognize that this tribulation period is why we are here, on this site, in our communities, in our circles of friends. Your post is so eloquent and lovely and it touches my heart. When the present feels overwhelming, when the darkness seems to be winning, when brave and righteous men and women appear to be thwarted at every turn, I will bow my head in humility. May our higher powers, our mystical forces protect us and lead us back into light.
Amen and amen.
Lawrence, I love your prediction style. No beating around the bush, you just lay it out there. lol I love that. Cheers me up.
The ONLY vision I have received for the 2020 election has been an image of a public bathroom placard representing a male figure and female figure. I haven't received any other visions for 2020's election no matter how much I ask or meditate on it. It's so hidden to me.
Perriwinkle10, you make an interesting point. Sometimes a situation has to get worst before it gets better (I really hate having to say that) and that can include destroying all of the crap that has infiltrated a society. Unfortunately, it can include innocent people getting hurt as well (I hate having to say that too).
We can't let fear and doubt get the best of us and as another collective member said up thread, we have to be careful of the energy we put out to the universe. If we expect for 45 to be reelected or the impeach process to fail then that is what we will receive.
I'm teaching myself to have unwavering belief and faith that him and his cronies will not win in the end but it can be hard at times. :(
Carmen, that image you got may have to do with LGBTQ or perhaps just gender rights which would be telling us which party won. Perhaps there was more to that image which would give more information. Or perhaps, it's a message about genders that will be important in determining the outcome.
I'm wondering if the restroom sign image simply indicates a mixed ticket (male/female), or if it means Pete Buttigieg becomes more influential (he is gay). Warren/Buttigieg ticket maybe? Biden/ Harris? Food for thought...
George Nader was indicted today. Barr was lying his ass off when he said that there were no sealed indictments. There are dozens more, including for Twitler's kids. When everything is revealed and all is out in the open, people are going to be astonished how it all connects.
Robert Mueller is taking a lot of heat right now, but I think there is much more to come.
So now given the Nader indictment, it is interesting that people, including Bluebelle, had predicted a downward slide for Trump that would involve horrible things happening to children. Nader was indicted for carrying child pornography on his cell phone, pornographic images of boys as young as three years old.
