Post Election Reflection

Some of my thoughts after the presidential election – In love, Rev. Christian

TO DESERT THE TRUTH IN THE HOUR OF NEED IS TO PROVE THAT WE DO NOT KNOW THE TRUTH.  When things look the worst, that is the supreme moment to demonstrate, to ourselves, that there are no obstructions to the operation of Truth.  When things look the worst is the best time to work, the most satisfying time. 

~Ernest Holmes

When life seems the worst, it’s the best time to know the spiritual truth. After heart break, loss of a loved one or an election it’s right to grieve, feel anger, sadness and disappointment. There is no urgency to rush through ones emotions. It takes time. It seems after each new president, half the country goes through mourning, each time confident, “It has never been this serious.”

During this election, I witnessed more people praying and meditating for the highest good of our country than any other time I can recollect. Monday night, more than a hundred women came together in the gardens of Seaside. They arrived with drums in hand ready to pray, meditate and create a soul-filled connection with mother earth for the highest and best for our country. As Seaside was both an official polling location AND a location for the flash mob meditation event with Elevate the Vote, I was surrounded by people praying for the greatest outcome for our world.  The answer to those prayers may have been or not been what everyone pictured or expected with deep hopefulness, but what I know  for sure, what unfolds is the answer to prayer and will elevate our nation to the highest good.

God as Omnipresence is in all places, including the most horrific of circumstances. Spirit is as available in your life the morning after a disappointment as it was the day before.  People have been crying for change for so long and it doesn’t usually come in a nice neat package. We must know there is good to be found as the old structures give way to the emerging change for greater good.  In the face of unsettling unfoldment, we must not permit ourselves to be influence by outside conditions or internal fears; we must stay focused on knowing it is all God in action.

Our country and people are all expressions of God. We are so much more than our fears. 

I will not give into fear, negativity and doubt because those emotions don’t produce Spirit’s vision of a world that works for everyone. I will turn to love knowing our leaders will be empowered more by this and better fed by love than fear, worry and hate. I give up the need for someone to be lovable before I can love them. I take it as my responsibility to believe, see and call forth the good that is in all people. If hate and violence is not what I wanted, then I will refuse to fall victim to an unconscious reactionary expression I did not support.

Evolution doesn’t tend to be a smooth process. Change does bring gifts but not always in the manner wanted. The unknown is the catalyst of change. Clearly, humanity is being called to practice faith, trust and belief in a knowing that these election results are somehow God’s expression of our prayers. Even if it seems hidden now, remember we wanted change. The Intelligence that guides the universe is the same wisdom that is moving through the United States and its leaders right now.

You can’t enjoy a You Tube video if you stare at only one frame. You will not understand what is going on in this process if you are caught on just this present image. You must take a mountaintop view to realize you have a choice. You always have a choice as to how you respond in the world. Do not allow the outside to dictate who you are. You are always casting a vibrational vote – Ask yourself if you are casting the kind of energy to the collective consciousness of a world in which you want to live. The work at hand involves our willingness to be part of the healing by trusting Good is emerging from a nation divided and that our prayers for change and greater good are happening now.
