Post Election USA 2024

It’s so up and down currently.

I get in to a high vibration and feel the image and words above, the being of light.

Then I get into a low vibration, and my low vibration emotions swirl inside.

Wiser teachers than me say the way to release those emotions is to let them happen, express them in some way be it art, writing, physical activity, or other various avenues of expression and release. Acknowledge the feeling of them, then let it pass and let it go. Be conscious of that letting go, be conscious that you allowed yourself to feel and express those feels and that you don’t need to do so again.

Thus far, I haven’t really expressed those feelings. I’ve certainly felt them; anger, outrage, immense betrayal, hurt, despair, and yes mingled in there is also hope and silver linings. So here’s me expressing them, and hopefully with this expression will come the release and the moving on.

The Expression

I weep for America, for the selfishness of those who would vote away the rights of others. I want to be shocked that so many people willfully chose a convicted felon, rapist, repeat sexual assaulter, fraud, and traitor to represent them, not once, but twice…but sadly I’m not. I want to be shocked that people I know and love, friends and relatives, willfully chose a convicted felon, rapist, repeat sexual assaulter, fraud, and traitor to represent them, not once, but twice…but I’m not.

I am heartbroken over it though. Especially when the second time was after he set back the civil rights movement by about 50 years, thought drinking bleach was a good idea during the covid pandemic, said he hates overtime pay and wants to get rid of it (Texas, how’s that working out for ya?), and hates pretty much everyone that doesn’t look like or suck up to him, or have a billion dollars to give him. The nation elected a leader that views and treats the very people who elected him as nothing more than repulsive money bags to fund his evil empire. And still they worship him. smh.

I just don’t get it. I don’t understand how they think that’s a wonderful thing. I don’t understand how the religious right, or anyone else, can believe themselves to be morally upstanding, when they are so enamored with someone who is SO morally reprehensible that he was officially endorsed by the KuKluxKlan and the Proud Boys, two openly racist, extreme hate organizations. This is who half the nation has chosen to align themselves with. Even worse, this is who some folks I love have chosen to align with.

Really people? If your religious icon came to you and said, “Is it true you chose a rapist, fraud and felon endorsed by the hate groups to lead your people?” – you’re telling me you would PROUDLY answer yes? Wow all the religious icons I’ve heard about teach that RAPE is WRONG, and HATE MONGERING is WRONG. What happened to all that Love Your Neighbor stuff? The hypocrisy is maddening. Choose the rapist, fraud and felon, but don’t pretend you are a follower of any teacher of peace when you do.

It’s like watching the movie – playing out in real time.

ok, end rant.
The point is to express it and move on, not to express it and stew in it. So, I’ve expressed it, and I said what I said. But now it’s up to me to let it go and move on, to rise above my own negative stewing, to let the anger and hurt go out of my heart and make room for love to enter it.

The Personal Challenge

It is what it is, and it’s up to me to strive for the high vibration, despite what is happening around me. That counts for any challenges we face, it’s not specific to this election and its outcome but this election and outcome are definitely a poster child for practicing striving for high vibration through challenging circumstances. And I admit, I’m not doing very well at it, yet. But I am making progress, and I am working on it still.

I really need to stop looking at the news again. I had cut news out of my life until election season. Then, being the researcher I am, I went through a lot of news from multiple sources, because it’s not good to get it from just one source. I believe there is value in being and informed voter; I only wish the majority of voters also believed in the value of being informed. Now every time there’s a headline about something we tried to warn people about I get angry and then my anger just throws me right back into low vibration emotion. The goal is to achieve high vibration emotional states despite the circumstances which are making me angry, but I’m just not there yet. So for now it’s remove the trigger. Don’t peruse the news when feeling despair or anger – this generates no good solutions. Strive for the high vibration, and meet the challenges from that perspective – this is when solutions come.

Sigh. ..Working on it but there are many emotions to let happen and let go yet, and I am still only human. But…so are my friends and loved ones who voted for the oppressor, and that is why I don’t want to follow the trend of cutting them out of my life. I believe we will all need each other when this is all over. I am allowing myself to take some space and time away though, because I do still get angry as hell and I don’t want to be a ticking time bomb around them. I’m taking the space to protect them from me while I protect myself from them too.

I was doing so well till this election season and now it’s like starting from the bottom of the barrel again. But I suppose that’s fitting, so is the USA.

The Silver Linings

There is always a liver lining, a rainbow after the storm! The cover image represents that. It’s hope, it’s the flame lit under people to make change when they see injustices. It’s the rising of spirit when people feel oppressed, of those being deemed second class citizens by people in power. Half the nation has relegated the other half to second class citizenship, and that other half doesn’t like it. Hopefully that other half will rise up even stronger than they were before, to joyfully claim full citizenship in humanity.

The Hope

Personally, I believe it’s all for a reason, and the universe is just shaking things up for us a little to make room for coming changes and shifts. You know, like how you shake a kitty litterbox scoop the poop gets revealed. Once the poop is revealed, it can be disposed of. And all of us will finally see our collective poop together, and everyone will finally agree on the 💩💩💩 and then we’ll remove the 💩 and move forward together with more opened eyes 🤩 and connected ❤️ hearts. Including me. That’s the hope! ✨🌞✨
