Trusting in Trump is like trusting that an abusive husband really has 'changed his ways' because he says so. When he takes over, he will tell people whatever it takes to keep down protests and win his favor. Then, once all is back to quiet contentment, the changes that have the possibility of bringing down our nation in economic and environmental issues will creep forth.
But I am not here to predict our gloom. What I want to say is that the changes that are needed to ensure abundance for all, will come from individuals, and groups of positive people. It will be from the ground up that life will continue.
We don't all have to strap ourselves to redwood trees and oil rigs; although this will be needed at certain times. What we can do as individuals is whatever we can to bring awareness, light and love to ourselves first, and then let it shine to those around us.
Every morning, my email is filled with requests from agencies asking for money to protect the environment, animals, and human rights. But trying to save each one is like fighting a wildfire with a single extinguisher at the edge of the fire. There are too many 'herpes sores' to heal with one container of balm; too many human made boo-boos for one box of bandages.
The root of the problem is the disconnection of humans from one another, the earth, and animals. Too many people don't get that we are all connected. If I had a child who was stolen away from me, and then discovered him sewing a new blouse in a sweat shop, would I buy the blouse? Of course not.
In writing that, I recognize that I contribute to child exploitation. I drive my car and contribute to Climate Change. I eat eggs and am a part of a system that destroys male chickens.
Beyond trying to reduce my carbon imprint, what can I do? What can we do? Honestly, I don't really know. My gut tells me to support anything that will bring awareness to as many individuals as I can; through the gifts that I have been given. These include being an empath, a mother, and a writer.
I help individuals by 'seeing' their blocked energy and being a facilitator to open pathways for release. Becoming the best mother possible through parenting classes, reading child-rearing books, and learning to listen to my boys rather than react. All this and more I did in the desire to raise two individuals who would live positive lives. As a writer, I ask myself if what I am presenting has an embedded message of something good. Could be laughter, how to access higher spiritual paths, or help children discover their own powers of strength.
My best advice to you is to look within and ask what you can offer to the world that will bring us to our highest good. Set as a goal the advancement of people to a higher spiritual level. One in which we all recognize that there is no us and them, that hurting the earth only hurts us. And that on an economic level, gaining quick profits destroys the economy in the long-run.
Go within, ask for the best possible way for you to help the world, and then do it.
Namaste,

Centers and the Past
Having attended Spiritual Center Churches for years and enjoying them, I had been feeling the desire to try something different. What I was hearing from the minister were lectures that I already felt I knew. They were still beneficial for several reasons:
1. Even if I had learned what was said previously, reminders keep me in check.
2. It is wonderful to hear the same concepts from different viewpoints--keeps the mind active.
3. The energy of so many like-minded people all in one place is empowering.
4. Activities and friendships and good feelings abound in Spiritual Centers.
By the way, most Spiritual Centers fall under: Religious Science, Science of Mind, Unity, Unitarian Universalists, and Spiritualists.
I highly recommend trying one or all of the above. You are guaranteed to meet some friendly, open-minded, loving people.
Again, I was ready for a change. At a recent Street Fair, the Friends, or Quakers, had a booth dedicated to informing people about two Propositions up regarding the Death Penalty, and educate people about their church. I decided to take the plunge and go for it.
There is no leader at their weekly meetings. Participants sit in a circle and meditate. If someone feels so inclined, they may stand up and divulge what they may have heard in their meditation. Generally, this is one or two people, and not something you would do right away.
The impact of gathered energy all open to receiving messages from an inner voice is deep. I was able to focus so well, that I went to a past life. This was one I had visited on previous occasions, but this time was different.
Here is the story of what I had seen before:
I was about ten years old living in an ancient Asian country with the name of Xuan. My father had huge gambling debts and had sold me into slavery to pay them off. A wagon with a bamboo cage came and took me away from my family. My mother was screaming in grief as I was carried away. My father stood back and watched helplessly.
From this past life, I made the decision to choose the parents that I have in this lifetime. A father with addiction issues who did not fulfill his father role. A mother I was never close to, so that I would not feel the grief that I had felt in the Asian life time.
This past life knowledge gave me the ability to understand the parents of today were fulfilling roles for me ( and I assume I was doing the same for them). It gave me a stronger platform to work on being a forgiving, loving person. But still, I struggled.
At the Friend's meditation this week, I returned to that past life. This time I came to a scene in which I had already been taken away. My father was crouched inside our hut, utterly depressed about what he had done. Having had no idea that he was sorry for his mistakes, and missed me, made it easier to forgive him. Somehow, through time and space, he felt my presence. I sent my love. I can clearly see his face light up in joy.
Soon we were surrounded by friends and family. I don't know how, but they too saw me. With both parents loving me and holding me, I felt a long sought for sense of peace.
So I hope from this blog post you can have learned of two things: The option of Spiritual Centers and their worth. How huge of an impact past life knowledge can assist you on your spiritual path.
God is love.
