I once read that what might end up happening is that "lower vibrational" souls will be barred from coming to Gaia (during that period of 1000 years of peace, maybe?) and only higher souls will be allowed.
Kinda like the "height restrictions" they use for crowd control at amusement park rides. It makes me wonder if this grand experiment showed that lower vibrational souls need to do more work on other planets/planes prior to coming to Gaia.
When I returned to the Southeast over fifteen years ago, I was struck by how profoundly the South had changed from my childhood. In fact, living in an Atlanta suburb felt like living in a strange political religious cult. Most people watched Fox News, listened to Rush Limbaugh and attended Evangelical churches. They never recognized that their rigid belief system thrived on hate or that following their Fox gods and Right Wing religious leaders was a perversion of Christianity. And @Vestralux, you are right. No amount of evidence or reasoning will ever convince these people that they have fallen away from true Christianity. They exist in a bubble where they believe Trump has been placed in the Presidency by God, that Trump has repented of his sins (I know, laughable) and basically can do no wrong in their eyes. Children in cages? Doesn't matter. Violations of basic human rights? Doesn't matter. Racist rhetoric? Doesn't matter. Climate change? They don't believe in it. It saddens me deeply.
I will say, though, that two of my friends there (not Evangelicals) have made a point to contact me and tell me that they no longer support Trump and will never vote for him again. That means a lot. I just want him to go away.
Regarding anger and hatred and wishing someone ill -- these are natural self protective reactions to perpetrators.
Although I think people are just trying to help you stay healthy when they warn against anger and hate, if you are an empath and a light worker, chances are you are going to react to someone who tells you not to hate with a certain measure of guilt and self blame.
Consider how to stay healthy, but remember there is no shame in having those feelings nor should we repress those feelings.
He has earned our wrath and hate.
I'd ask you to simply consider that when moments come that you are consumed with anger and hatred, perhaps it's time for self care.
That said, we need to find a way to feel more empowered so we aren't living in a state of wrath and hate.
I also want to add that I am grateful to the progressive press for continuing the pressure against DT and his sponsors and enablers. I can't always tune in because I get overwhelmed at times with the horribleness of this administration. But I am glad there are people out there who keep reporting it.
Loved that! UPSIDE Down (kinda funny and appropriate given this general topic lol) - I have been dancing and watching this thinking back to those exact outfits and dances I did back then - THANKS for the memory! ?
I went for a walk with a friend last night who was so angry but I make a point not to feed that anger and she really needed someone to listen- i understand it and agree with the points against T/Mitch and all the enablers or players but I wont participate in it or get worked up and firey myself- I used to all the time and I suffered so much! The issue my friend was feeling- it's this feeling of helplessness- but what I reminded my friend is that we can be light, we can feed the seeds of empathy and joy in ourselves because positive begets positive and negative feeds more negativity. Reframe it all, read Mary Oliver poetry, smile more, find things to be grateful for and talk about them with others, point out the beauty in the world and then meditate on it. Today I got my medical bill for my recent surgery and my initial reaction was OH NO! how am I going to pay this i did not know I had chosen a doctor out of my network- it was unexpected and I just used the surgeon they had recommended to me. Then I went to sit in meditation and thought, I will not water this seed of fear and instead i thought, wow, its pretty cool that I am healthy and we are in a moment where we get to choose the next president largely based on their healthcare plans. You cannot be a social justice warrior using the same tools as the oppressors. Fight with love, their tools are fear and hate and when we let fear and hate live inside us, (of them and for them) we cannot win.
I know that among the community of enlightened souls it's common to NOT wish harm on anyone, lest it boomerang back on the sender.
BUT
When dealing with this level of evil, with this insanity, the only sane response is anger and hatred. We're not the ones perpetrating acts of domestic terrorism. We're not the ones condoning putting children in concentration camps. We're not the ones destroying the environment.
It's healthy to express the negativity. This forum is a great outlet. Self-care is important too, of course. But don't feel bad about raging against the darkness. And don't hesitate to act to resist appropriately. Sending Der Trumpenfuror negativity will NOT boomerang back because he is a black hole of energy. That's why I don't understand why the Rethugs are so cowed by him. He can't have them killed, he can't deport them to Russia, and most of us already know the bad stuff about most of them, so I don't understand their level of fear to stand up to him (looking at you, Mittens and Miss Graham).
And even if I'm wrong and it boomerangs back, you know what? I'll take that hit for the team. St. Michael didn't vanquish dragons with some kind thoughts.
Perhaps the fear isn't standing up to Trump himself, but to Putin. Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham both took a lot of money from their boss: Putin. I think Trump is Putin's puppet, but they are also his servants. They made a deal with the devil.... perhaps even literally.
@bluebelle, I can imagine how shocking and disheartening it was for you to see that dramatic shift with your fellow Atlanta suburbanites. I’m happy to hear that your two friends have walked away from T*.
Your comment made me think of a friend of mine. This is going to sound like a crazy question, but I will ask it of the group anyway: can you be a lightworker and also a T* supporter? I'm not joking. I have a friend, AC, who I've known for 30 years. She is a gifted psychic, hands-on healer, and can read energy. AC was a tremendous help to me years ago as I was learning about myself and my sensitivities. She was a very generous and kind person to me, and a mentor. AC considers herself a lightworker. She moved south about 15 years ago, and is part of a community of lightworkers where she lives. She sends me weekly uplifting, spiritual emails -- as well as an occasional, off-the-wall opinion containing extreme or conspiratorial stuff (e.g. about Obama, Clinton, immigrants, etc. ) I never respond to the latter. She defended T* when I was grieving the day after his election win -- as if my concerns were exaggerated and/or misplaced. AC clearly knows my feelings about T* and my love for Obama, following an unfortunate angry outburst I had with her last year over the phone. (Oops …) While she was visiting town last year, AC offered to come to my house and do some healing work on me -- I made an excuse because the fact is, I didn't want her working with my energy. I love her, but I don't want to be around her. It all makes me very sad.
I don't blame you for any of your thoughts. I will never understand how a lightworker can endorse racism, putting children in cages, treason, and ignoring the constitution. Boggles the mind. I give you credit because she wouldn't be a friend of mine.
