Don’t Create More Fear 11/5

Don’t Create More Fear

I am writing this email on Monday, Nov 4th. The US election is Nov 5th, the day you will get this email. And thank God, the Group Clearing is on Wednesdays, Nov 6!

No matter who won, it’s fine. 

As in any heightened political situation, you hopefully did your research, you put in your vote, you volunteered, and spread what facts you gathered, as best you could, to help everyone around you make their own informed decisions. You let everyone vote in alignment with themselves. 

The election has happened—hopefully—I’m assuming it happened! Now, give your worries to the Angels. Lift it up. Let go of your agendas, lift up your requests, and get into a state of trust that a lot of the issues you are concerned about will play out the way you had hoped for, no matter who your president is. 

If you are unhappy, afraid, or stressed about the election results, I ask you: Where is your trust, your faith and your belief right now? It’s time to draw on those skills. 

If we think that the only way to our desired outcome is to have the election go our way, we are wrong. We become controlling when we try to get to our perfect world through one means only. We begin to rant and rave and force the path to our goals, as if we know how those dreams are going to come about. We don’t. 

I am asking you: If your candidate did not win, can you still believe that your prayers will be answered? Can you still co-create what you want your country and world to be like? Can you take other actions to bring about the changes you want? If you did not get your way, can you continue to lift up your prayers and beliefs? Can you hold your bigger vision when the moment does not look how you thought it should look to get there?

Here is a simple illustrative story. I am sitting here with cold toes in a 70 year old apartment building in a rainy Seattle winter, because the ancient boiler broke before the weekend. I knew it would break, because I had heard rumors that it had broken before, and because I’m always asking management, “Is it supposed to sound this clunky and loud? Is this metal supposed to look dusty pink?” Sensing that the boiler was struggling, I’m feeling pretty lucky, because I’m prepared with a portable heating unit that blasts hot air. I’m a little dried out, and have to keep re-taping the makeshift vent I designed in the window, and draining the water tank, but at least it’s warm-ish in here! That’s one way to go about it—we sense danger, get prepared, and feel successful using our emergency kits. 

However, two summers ago, while socializing at the lake, I remember a woman from my building telling a man from the neighborhood that we have the most reliable, wonderful heating system in our building. I stared at her incredulously. I wasn’t about to burst her bubble, because how amazing is that?! She truly believed that with all of the radiator problems we have in the units, that the boiler kept her perfectly warm and safe.  

Right now, while the whole building is in their winter coats and hats in their apartments, she and her husband happen to be on a random, and rare trip to a remote, sunny island. She is basking on the beach in 70 to 80 degree weather. By the time she returns, the issue will be solved, as if nothing happened. She will not have experienced this cold reality.

With this election, prepare however you see fit, but stay out of fear. Practically preparing because you have an intuition is different than preparing because you are running Apocalypse scenarios in your mind.   Clarify what you wanted to get out of a certain president. What did you want them to do for you? Then turn those statements into your manifesting dreams. Speak what you want life to be like. Write it. Whisper it. Sing it. Dance it. Believe in what you want to happen. Pretend that your life is how you want to experience it. 

But please don’t focus on what you did not get. Try not to create a collective fear. Don’t pour your energy into building up a monstrous future situation that you believe will destroy us. Don’t waste your light on predicting and creating more darkness. 

Spend your light and energy envisioning what you want your life to feel like. Let go of how you thought that would look. Believe that what you are speaking out loud has been heard and will be answered. Believe that you have the power to call in a shift to your reality. 

Let’s recenter ourselves. 

Let’s lift up our prayers. 

Let’s believe that we are actually right on track.
