The biggest downfalls of my life have ALWAYS happened when I turned my head and stopped paying attention. Where I ride the wave of things going relatively well and ignore little signs and signals saying that something is beginning to fall apart. This has happened for me on all levels: health, business, social.
​
The lesson in retrospect was my own failure to pay attention; the little decisions I make throughout the day to lose my alignment and choose no to correct myself.
​
What always surprises me in these experiences is how intense the fall always seems to be; that I never would have expected "that" to happen. I never anticipated I would struggle with "those" things in my life. But I have and I do. Things turn a lot worse than I could have imagined and this in turn is deeply humbling and ultimately ignites a stronger commitment to my soul path.
​
My friends, this is what is happening to the USA and the world enlarge. Do not just expect things to work out "relatively well" and pan out in the end. I'm not trying to induce fear or make predictions, but civil war is a real possibility in what is already and clearly becoming a fascist dictatorship.
​
We are naive and often, to our own detriment, unwilling to see things clear-eyed for what they are. We don't want to judge, we don't want to project the problem as "out there" and besides "we all do things like that" and "the democrats are also corrupt" etc etc. There is however a time for judgement, not on the basis of superiority, but on the basis of staying awake and present to what is.
​
I speak because the times call upon me to open my voice. I speak because I care. I'm speak because I would like it that this time, instead of history repeating itself the way it ALWAYS has, that this time we discover that there is another way. Even if we cannot change external events, there is a pivot in healing and liberation available here. Times when the evil is more evident, are also times where GOoD becomes more evident too, we can become stronger and more aligned with our soul path now. These times invites us into greater strength and clarity of purpose.
​
Considered from that angle, this is a blessing. Let us see clearly and not let fear and anger overtake us. Let us become stronger, more confident, joyful and courageous beings as we meet these times.
