DISCOVER PEACE

 

We are enjoying above normal temperatures. It is pleasant after the onslaught of cold last week. It is 35.4F. I can't entice the chickens to come out. The new chicken coop has the chicken door on the North side and we don't have sheep in that pasture anymore to trod down the snow. I know they don't like to go out if the snow comes over their shanks, but if they can run on top the snow they generally will. I actually shoveled a spot for them to land when they jumped out their door but they still don't want to go out. Maybe they haven't acclimated to Winter yet. A few will generally come out if it is not snowing; especially if it is Sunny. They don't seem to mind cold weather if it is above zero F.

I was hoping for a little peace after the election, but I should have known. The divisiveness seems as intense as ever. We need to get out of this war mentality. We have been doing it for a long time. We have had the War on Poverty; the War on Drugs; the War on Terror; there must have been more. The very idea of making it a war diminishes its effectiveness; besides keeping us in conflict. During the election cycle, the Liberals had their War against Conservatives and the Conservatives countered with their War against Liberals. As alluring and seductive, as it may be, a War on Trumpism is not going to solve any problems.

Facebook has become a war zone. We can't solve our problems by creating more conflict. Actions that arise from conflict are seldom fruitful. Demonizing those on the other side will bring no resolution. It didn't do any good in the election, did it? We will get through this just fine. We know how to resist injustice without creating unnecessary conflict. The most powerful actions come from a peaceful, loving consciousness. We have many examples of this; Martin Luther King being one of the most recent examples. He never demonized those he didn't agree with. He never put them down. He always hoped for understanding. But, he would not give in to injustice.

It is not difficult to understand what the voters were angry about. I discussed it in a prior blog. I will put a P.S. referral to that blog at the end of this one. If you know some Trump voters, have some coffee with them and ask them. You may discover something. Many of them feel their future has been ripped away from them. They no longer have the American Dream. They do not embrace Trump's ideas, but they are bitter that the Democrats abandoned them.

This chaos will pass. The awakening is proceeding. The old ruling Cabal, behind the scenes is coming down. We don't want to be crazy anymore. We want to be free. We want to be free to love. We know all are equally valuable and deserving of love. We cannot achieve, what we already know, if we entertain conflict and war in our minds.

The right action, to correct a wrong, will come from a peaceful state of being. We will make all decisions from love. We will succeed. We cannot fail. Avoid the conflict; let us find our center and spread light and love to those around us.

Love and Peace, Gregg
