OMG the same thing/question is one I've been pondering too!! I have a good friend SR, she has been a godsend to me, she's an incredibly Accurate psychic and friend, but the exact same thing: she is a huge Trumpette too. I don't get it... and she has been the one to stop calling me lately. She knows my feelings about Trump so I'm not sure why she stopped but I sensed her pulling away from me. I have the same question!
I had a reading back in May 2017. His assessment (as part of our conversation) was that you can't fix the holes in the lifeboat if you don't know where the holes are. He said that Trump is pulling back the canvas on the lifeboat, showing where all the holes are.
That doesn't mean I like #45 even a little, but.....if you want to get a tad snarky.....he's acting as our "useful idiot" as he shows the corruption in gov't and the role the super wealthy have in this corruption. We are learning where to go to really "fix" the problem.
you're exactly right, but how to keep the media from reporting on him?
Probably not going to happen until he's defeated at the ballot box. I think the press is one thing that needs some deep structural reform. It needs to not be for-profit, for one thing. Or at least have a trusted news source available that is not. And there should be penalties for spreading misinfo and lies when it's damaging to our country, just like on SM. Maybe that ones of the deep reforms President Pete can bring about. ?
What an interesting question. I find it hard to fathom a lightworker who would continue to be a T supporter. A lot of people were misled during the 2016 campaign, but by now, there can be no misunderstanding what he and his administration stand for. Surely, cruelty, hatred, racism, misogyny and disregard for the rule of law are a feature of this president and administration. So, how does that fit into a lightworker's philosophy of loving kindness? It doesn't.
One of my biggest struggles has been in maintaining friendships with far-right friends in the time of T. I've handled that in person with loving kindness and strict avoidance of the slightest political conversation. However, to be honest, I've found myself limiting exposure to those friends and taking more comfort in my relationships with like-minded friends.
How interesting that this lightworker wanted to come see you recently. I wonder if she has had a change of heart? I understand you're not wanting to pursue that and would probably react the same way. On the other hand, if this person has actually had a change of heart, I would think she would find a way to let you know. Sorry for the rambling, I'm just spitballing here.
Follow your instincts, deetoo.
@suspira44, I guess I'm able to maintain the friendship with AC because she no longer lives in my area. After we had the phone conversation where I angrily challenged her, she knows better now (I hope!) than to send me this crazy stuff. Her other emails are these higher life path/soul expression/spiritual insight links that are often quite helpful, and even profound. So her duality is head-spinning, crazy to me.
@triciact, it's so interesting to me that you've encountered the same issue with SR. Maybe I've been thinking about this in the wrong way. Just because someone is psychic and gifted with energy healing, doesn't necessarily mean that they always use those gifts wisely. Earlier today I asked another friend about it. This friend, who is highly psychic and energetically powerful, also knows AC. She remarked: "This is where I feel AC has a great gift, but is clueless as to its power. Hopefully she sticks to benign things. This really is an awesome power some of us possess, and it comes with no user guide. I have made so many stupid mistakes, and played with it like a child with matches. So much more careful now. "
@bluebelle, Thank you for your thoughtful insights. I wish AC had a change in heart, but I think not. AC had just learned another healing modality, and wanted to offer it to me. When she suggested coming to see me that week, she also happened to make a sour comment about Muslims. I just sighed and changed the subject. Then I felt my wall come up. I just couldn’t be around AC’s energy, especially if she was working on me.
The sad thing is, she can be loving and kind. And the bittersweet thing is, AC is the one who years ago told me I was a lightworker. She claimed to recognize it in me. At the time, I rolled my eyes – “that’s so woo woo,” I thought. And now I’m questioning her loving kindness. Is that fair? Isn’t that judgmental? But what am I to think, when she shows a side that I don’t recognize? And more to the point, that I abhor?
This whole T**** phenomena … I believe it ties into our collective trauma. Each of us, responding to it in our own way. Fear, anger, paralysis, judgment, hatred of self, hatred of others … exposed, waiting to be healed.
When I scan AC, I feel her anger. It’s deep, and it’s old. I know that she's had a very tough life – fought for everything she’s gotten. Lost a lot too.
It's been a challenging 3 years for all of us. It’s so difficult to feel that initial shock, when an unexpected and unwelcome truth is revealed about someone close to you. Some of these relationships have changed because of that truth – some even gone forever – but they’ve been part of the beautiful tapestry of my life. .And I wouldn’t go back and change a thing.
I struggle with my feelings and my actions in this Time of Trump.
Perhaps Trump is here in this time and place to be the catalyst for change in our nation and our world.
On the other hand, perhaps he is actually here to challenge us as individuals.
Could Trump somehow be our own personal test? How do we individually react to him, his dictates and the fallout from his decisions?
My moral compass tells me that while I am headed in the right direction, I am not there yet. I am not exactly sure where "there" is either. How does one in fact show respect for those who support Trump and Trump beliefs without compromising their own personal values? When is it ok to walk away to keep the peace and when is walking away allowing the problem to grow un-checked?.
Trump is my moral dilemma.
Every. Single. Day.
How I react to him, privately and publicly.
How I react to how others react to him.
Whether I choose to simply acknowledge the elephant in the room, reveal said elephant is in the room to others in the room with him, demand said elephant be humanly cared for or find a place for said elephant where it can thrive in an ideal elephant friendly environment.
We all have the potential for perfect love in us and make choices along the path. We will all get there eventually but as we work through or create new karma we make choices. When dealing with someone who likes trump we can appreciate that they are really love but they have not figured it out yet and appreciate the seed of potential in them. We are all one- like an ocean you can not separate one drop of water from another- we cannot see each other as separate because we all come from the same source this vast ocean of love. When we separate ourselves from others we do a disservice to ourselves- we have struggled too, have mercy. You can’t create a community by cutting someone out or off. My parents and many family members are trump supporters and it’s a bummer but to support someone like that you have to be filled w pain and confusion. It must be hard but I can offer love, not acceptance of their beliefs, not even staying silent- but when I ask questions about how they think framed in a way they can hear I think sometimes they can see. I used to think I was better than them during the bush years- they just didn’t get it, they were backward thinking- but I don’t think like that anymore- it serves no one.
Good conversation! I struggle everyday with controlling my anger, no matter how hard we try, if we really care about our country and our moral integrety it has to make us upset. My best friend, who is not a trumpette but is a little more conservative then I am, said you just can't let anything control your life like that. She's right you can't. I have family I haven't seen or spoken to for years over the political atmosphere in this country. We were raised side by side but couldn't be more different. They were raised to believe they were entitled, I was raised to believe I was inferior. They are extremely unhappy because their life isn't how they expected. BooHoo. I learned to appreciate who I am and what I have and can share with others. Thank you Yoga practice!
Kentucky update. I saw a video on facebook today,\. Another large coal company has filed Chapter 11. This effects miners in four state.. The miners received a text or email telling them not to come to work. Next their banks called to let them know their last paychecks bounced. Because they aren't offically layed off they can't file for unemployment. No one is answering their questions or returning their calls. Many can't buy cloths and school supplies for their kids. This is the THIRD big coal company to file since May 2019. What a great job Moron has done to bring back the coal industry! I still haven't given up hope these people will see the light and vote Moron and MoscowMitch out of office but you never can tell.
