recently my friend wrote,
I am busy this week with the demonstrations that are talking place against Donald Trump’s visit to the UK.
and i replied,
Whatever the demonstration means, I wish all the best to all parties. Donald has brought out emotions in us that have asked to complete their journey within ourselves to become more loving to ourselves and to others. Donald is just one soul asking to be loved and seen for who he actually is—which is not the character his playing out. I wish good times for him, for you and for all. And I appreciate Donald for showing us where our love has to go. Also, I appreciate you for doing things where
heart leads the way.
from what i know, only ego fights.
i have no doubt there’s light — the beauty of love — also in Donald.
i like to look at him (and anyone in a similar stage of awakening) from an angle of acknowledgment.
if
so lets twist this around.
what if Donald Trump’s hairdo encourages our creative nature to come out and play?
what if Donald Trump is living in an inner world of immense pain without him knowing it is so?
what if Donald Trump’s souls mission is to help reunite humanity through his atrocious choices?
what if Donald Trump’s heart is crying because its been abandoned, denied and rejected by himself, countless times?
what if Donald Trump is showing us that we need to take back our own power, and in order to do so, treat everyone equally?
what if Donald Trump’s actions are waking up more souls from the dream of someone else being able to change the world on their behalf without their own conscious contribution?
i can go on and on, listing benefits in the pain we’ve all been silently waiting for but afraid to embrace. indeed, sometimes enough becomes enough and then, from the bottom of hopelessness, we start taking action.
to me, that’s the gift of Donald Trump.
in my reality, we only hurt others because there’s hurt within ourselves.
and for a while now, i truly cannot help but love the people who know the pain i felt and feel.
so instead of focusing on fighting or supporting anything outside of you, maybe its a perfect opportunity to put all that precious energy — your own focused attention—on taking care of you, your own emotional desires, needs, and wants?
there’s a quote i adore, “it doesn’t matter what i think or feel. it only matters what i say to myself when life falls apart.”
and here’s my curious nature — when a thought arises or a feeling kicks your ass, what do you say to yourself?
do you take time to breathe? do you stop and just feel? or you act out?
life has taught that my responses to myself and to the world show where i am at on my journey ahead. they pinpoint to anyone, who’s willing to see and feel, the truth on how i interact with myself — painting the picture of the inner relationship i have between my mind and my heart. it also serves as a reference point, showing, if i am living in a battle of opposition or in a storyline of harmony in my private cellular society.
i don’t know about Donald Trump. whatever i say, its a guessing game with bullets of assumption hurting us both. from what i know, i can only talk from my own experience. and thankfully, my inner world, its become better. much-much better.
but still, up to this day, i live actively in a world of opposition within myself. things have shifted but not all has been cleared out of my energy field. and to me, its not a matter of letting go. surely, in the past, i tried letting go, countless times. but it never worked even when i thought it worked.
c’mon — lets drink the irony of this —how can you let go of something if you can’t hold on to something? its merely an obsession around another illusion with the need to control your outcomes.
only ego thinks, “i can let go” whilst hearts wisdom says, “love me, and have faith in me, and i will let go on your behalf.”
that’s why i do my best to be courageous and open with each choice that comes my way.
may it be finding peace in me with how the world seems to work. the world that‘s hurting from the inside out with politicians — yes, Donald Trump in the frontline — projecting us the current state of our collective unraveling. the overactive mind of masculinity and the asleep heart of femininity.
but we can rise up, not with demonstrations, but with making our own hearts the object of our focused attention.
also, allow me to clarify this—i am no better or worse than Donald Trump. i might be slightly more aware and open to treat myself with loving-care that helps me to treat others with greater humility.
however i treat you, shows you how i treat myself.
that’s all.
i appreciate myself. i appreciate you. and I thank Donald Trump for showing us where our love needs to go.
lets love and create, instead fight.
