Our task here is to BE LOVE.\u00a0 In easy times, bringing the best version of ourselves to every situation can be, at times, challenging.\u00a0 During times of conflict and chaos, it is ESSENTIAL.\u00a0 Amazing growth is possible now due to this challenge.\u00a0 So, let’s take a quick look at the political scene in the USA right now.<\/p>\n

Whenever you hear a person in power working to “other” some group with less political power, take note and be aware.\u00a0 People of color, immigrants, laborers, women, LGBTQ community, Muslims… all of these groups have less political power in this country than the ruling class of the wealthy.<\/p>\n
Division is a tool of autocrats, racists, authoritarians and dictators, and the saddest thing is to realize that human beings are quite vulnerable to this tactic.\u00a0 There is a reason many authoritarians work to undermine education and fight against critical thinking: Our UNITY is our strength.<\/p>\n
And as Unity is our strength, those who want power over others work hard to break up that Unity by Division.<\/p>\n
For example, there are many groups of humans who are already pre-programmed to accept with unquestioning obedience, the words of their religious leaders.\u00a0 And when these “religious leaders” are actually just grifters hoping to increase their own wealth and power, they align with the dividers, echoing their message of cruelty and division..<\/p>\n
Another tool of authoritarian “leaders” is to use mass media.\u00a0 Today in the USA, there is a gigantic right-wing media presence that exists solely as a propaganda tool working to end democracy.\u00a0 The viewers have been programmed to accept whatever is told to them by “presenters” who tell lies and half-truths 24\/7.\u00a0 This media, again, depends<\/em> upon a certain cohort of their viewers to take violent action.<\/p>\n Stochastic terror allows the power behind the violence to deny responsibility. Right wing “preachers” were just “discussing” how evil everyone but them are.\u00a0 Talking heads were “just asking questions”.\u00a0 And the misguided perpetrator is considered a “lone wolf” instead of part of an invisible army of brainwashed minions, chipping away at our democratic norms.<\/p>\n Violence is the tool of authoritarianism and fascism.\u00a0 Violent laws that harm the powerless.\u00a0 Cruel cuts that harm the vulnerable.\u00a0 Disempowerment of voting rights. Guns placed in the hands of unstable individuals whose aright-wing consumption inspires them to violent action.\u00a0 All of these tried and true tactics are being used against the people of this USA and democracy right now.<\/p>\n History shows us how well these tactics work.<\/p>\n It’s a sad fact that we, the consciousness community, cannot ignore.\u00a0 Our task is to be conscious, loving, unifying, and supportive.\u00a0 We resolve to be the very best versions of ourselves, but in such trying circumstances, we will stumble sometimes. That’s OK!\u00a0 We crawl before we can walk.\u00a0 Be kind to yourself, do your best,\u00a0 and learn from each stumble.<\/p>\n Division and thinly-veiled praise of violence against one disempowered group or another is inevitably also a call to violence. When you see an authority figure targeting “others”, realize that this toxic person can, and will, use stochastic terror to their advantage.<\/p>\n To be aware of this threat and to remain in LOVE<\/strong>, and not descent into hatred or hostility can be understandably challenging.\u00a0 For those of us who prefer to live in a multi-cultural, beautiful, just, secular\u00a0 democracy, it can be especially challenging to remain loving and centered while feeling under attack — but its essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n How do we respond with love<\/em> to cruelty and threats?\u00a0 How do we stay in compassion<\/em> when faced with violence?\u00a0 To watch the freedoms we may have taken for granted be stripped away is not easy! Anger and fear are completely normal responses…<\/p>\n Yet, look within – times of great challenge are also times of incredible growth and potential. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Can you feel compassion for someone hurling racial epitaphs and threatening to harm others? Perhaps this person was abused as a child and raised without love.\u00a0 Can you see a hateful wanna-be dictator as a broken human instead of an enemy?\u00a0 Can you see brainwashed minions robotically repeating right-wing talking points verbatim,\u00a0 and yet remain in love<\/em>?\u00a0 Can you help protect your vulnerable neighbors and friends with a bigger-than-ever compassionate heart?<\/p>\n Well, remember this: if you have incarnated on this planet at this time of massive change in climate as well as a global anti-democracy movement, your energy is NECESSARY.\u00a0 You are a vital part of this time, and your ability to bring the best, most loving version of yourself to every encounter, is essential.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You are helping spread love and kindness to the world.\u00a0 Each tiny seed you plant will grow.\u00a0 Each kind gesture, every bit of love you share, is essential.\u00a0 Every bit of your love and unity is essential<\/p>\n YOU are essential. Don’t beat yourself up for an imperfect response; instead use each moment to reflect upon your reactions — and next time, set your intention to take loving action instead of react.\u00a0 Do this consistently and you will see genuine change within yourself and in your world.<\/p>\n The ancient blessing, “may you live in uninteresting times” does not apply to our<\/em> times today.\u00a0 But we are here for a reason — a LOVE REVOLUTION is GROWING.<\/p>\n And YOU are an essential part of that revolution.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our task here is to BE LOVE.\u00a0 In easy times, bringing the best version of ourselves to every situation can be, at times, challenging.\u00a0 During times of conflict and chaos, it is ESSENTIAL.\u00a0 Amazing growth is possible now due to this challenge.\u00a0 So, let’s take a quick look at the political scene in the USA…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,41,42,1],"tags":[216,47,218,215,148,158,214,213,217,183],"class_list":["post-6573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-positive-truths","category-remember","category-the-journey","category-uncategorized","tag-blm","tag-consciousness","tag-fascism","tag-george-floyd","tag-growth","tag-kindness","tag-love-in-action","tag-politics","tag-trump","tag-unity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6573"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6575,"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6573\/revisions\/6575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harmonyintuitive.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
