Last night,
as with many nights of late, I dreamt politics.
My dreams have been filled with a passionate desire to understand… part
of me desires to know, what’s going on?! Last
night, after a very long day of travelling… the dreamtime gave me some
brilliant answers.
Stepping
back from my perspective… looking at the big, big picture… feeling beneath the
surface of the political chaos… what we see… is not the whole of it… The chaos…
the struggle… the incredible pace at which things are moving… is Consciousness…
the flow of the One and Only… commandeering change… Can you feel it? Politics is the stage on which we get to see
all our beliefs displayed… all the starring archetypal forces of old… none of
which we may have been aware… This particular election… may be more about what’s to
come… than the immediacy of who’s elected president… because the transformation
being called forth… will continue to morph, grow and intensify… well beyond
November 2016…
Things are
changing… and the “traditional”… the “establishment”… the old power structures…
are like dams, stressed by the increasingly rising force of flooding waters…
The pressure isn’t going to go away… It’s not going to be quelled… It’s only going
to grow… and it’s meant to…
My dream
last night… had me looking at Donald Trump very differently… Beneath the
surface… his character plays the part of the catalyst… a catalyst that can’t be
ignored… What he says motivates people… one way or the other… He also shows us
what it can be like to be empowered… free… unafraid… owned by no one… He
refuses to be “heeled” by the media… a political party… the establishment… He
is the catalyst that gets people moving… He’s the hurricane… the wild card… and
he’s a force that cannot be denied… Look at what’s happening to the Republican
party... openly trying to figure out how to stop him… Good luck… Change… Change…
Change… Consciousness moves in mysterious ways… doesn’t it?…
On the other
end… we have a similar character in Bernie Sanders… Where Trump is the “hare”…
Bernie Sanders is the “tortoise”… Bernie isn’t owned by the media… a political
party… or the establishment, either… Though the Democratic party has attempted to
barricade the barn doors... the rotting wood is about to give… or those doors may
be blown off… Where Trump is the hurricane… blowing up structures… catalyzing
people to move, NOW… Bernie represents a slow burn… a growing movement over
time… the people reclaiming their empowerment…. His character represents that
which will endure… long after each of us is gone… Trump is the “I”… Bernie the “We”…
and both are necessary… when it comes to change…
Let’s not
forget those we deem to represent the “establishment”… those who we may see as representing the shadows…
the outdated… the “way it’s always been”… They have a part too… Humanity
changes through oscillation… We oscillate… back and forth… between the old… and
the new… what has always been… and what is to be… That’s what we do… Everyone plays a part… We would do well
not to judge ourselves…
It’s also become
clear to me… that I’ve had a belief regarding how change should happen… There’s
a right way… and a wrong way… There are people who are wrong… and people who
are right… I’m finding… that none of this is true… Consciousness moves how
Consciousness moves… and none of us really knows how things get done… Our
beliefs, many times, have no substantive value when it comes to the workings of
Consciousness… most likely because they were never really accurate… Every
character plays a part… We’re moved when we’re meant to be moved… And when it’s
time to move… no one can stop us… not even ourselves… We may be appalled by how
we’re moved… not understanding the sudden shift… the desire to speak… to use
our voice… to march… to write… or whatever it may be… And what I’m learning is
to pay attention… go with it… enjoy it… don’t judge it… It’s happening to all
us… so carry on… however you're called... When we look
beneath the surface… seeing the brilliance for perhaps the very first time… it
becomes very clear… all is moving as it is meant to…
With great
respect and love,
Karrie
