Here is a simple truth, which is extremely complicated for many of us to understand. What we are witnessing in our political arena is the playing out of common human “archetypes” upon the  “screen of our world’s mind”, and upon our own individual psyches. The “evil, dark king”, the “repressed, ignored queen”, the “liar”, the “thief”, the “trickster”, the “joker”, the “justifier”, the “persecutors”, the “punisher”, the “assassin”, the “executioner”, the “dark prophet”, the “betrayer”, the “savior”, and the “world destroyer”, amongst others, are aspects of each human being who lives today.

 

Understanding how we are internally influenced by these collective archetypes allows for us to reduce, and potentially eliminate, their hypnotic influence upon our own internal worlds, and brings a higher measure of wisdom to us as we engage with the external political universe. As within, so without, is the Truth here. Bringing healing to our internal universe First, will bring a higher degree of effective action in the “external universe”, since we will be resisting the real darkness, and not also the resistance within ourselves, which is self- defeating behavior. When we first bring healing to our “internal political environment”, we become much more effective dealing with the EVIL in our external political environment, since we are no longer fighting ourselves. And, with enough “warriors of the spirit” on the front lines against this most dangerous administration in the history of our country, we will persevere.

 

The real work must continue, even after we overthrow the DARK KING, and expose all of his TRICKSTERS, THIEVES, BETRAYERS, and DARK PROPHETS. American politics, economics, and religion, which have oppressed women for all time, and are so far removed from the sacred, that to call them PROFANE is to treat these institutions too gently. The repressed, ignored queen, or feminine, must rise up in all of us. It is time to “take off the gloves”, call it as we see it, and act as agents for bringing healing to our corrupted nation, and world.

 

This political statement is my own. I have not been paid, coerced, bribed, blackmailed, threatened, or in any way have I benefited economically from sharing this message. I benefit only because I am willing to stand up, speak my truth, and be counted amongst the millions of Awakening Americans, our newest AA group.

 

The Awakening Voice

 

As the slowly shifting sands of time,

Create ever taller hills for America’s lost souls to climb.

It is in our shared, hateful world of so little reason and rhyme,

That we must seek another way to Truth, to find the One Sublime.

 

As a seeker for Truth, on ‘God’s high mount’ we must continue to climb,

Or we will stumble through the valley’s corrupted sands of time.

And confuse our minds with the lies of Fake News’ rhyme and reason,

While our inner Lawyer cries out to charge them all with treason.

 

As mental marathoners, only on Life’s treadmill we can now stand,

Following corrupt leaders has doomed us to be Life’s “also ran”,

Forever chasing in vain Love’s all-knowing healing voice.

So step away from its circular belt, and seek the Life in which we rejoice!

 

As a marionette’s dancing image trapped upon the screen of our world’s mind,

With all of those hypnotic beliefs in full control, what freedom can we find?

We must be released from the spiritual imprisonment of those choking, binding strings,

To reveal our hearts’ wisdom that only liberated Intelligence can bring.

 

As shadow boxers of Evil, to what possible ends do we hope to aspire?

Trying to be champions over Evil’s vast dream world will only make us too tired!

When we first heal the illusions that create self-destructive pugilist blows,

Our hearts can fully support the fight against Dark Ones now on public show.

 

To finally realize the Truth, is to see powerless religions only limit and bind,

Woven with golden threads of the Emperor’s New Clothes, his evil tailors did wind,

Corrupting the minds and hearts of all the innocents and vulnerable that they can find.

So we must continue to find our own truth, and then our struggle becomes Sublime!

 

The non-illuminated, restless mind is devoid of all spiritual rhyme and reason,

And only chases the latest mirage, until seeing the real corruption that is guilty of treason.

Presently, I am 67 years old, and I am learning how to live the life of a retired person. I am married to Sharon White, a retired hospice nurse, and writer. Whose Death Is It Anyway-A Hospice Nurse Remembers Sharon is a wonderful friend and life partner of nearly 30 years. We have three grandsons through two of Sharon's children. I am not a published writer or poet. My writings are part of my new life in retirement. I have recently created a blog, and I began filling it up with my writings on matters of recovery and spirituality. I saw that my blog contained enough material for a book, so that is now my new intention, to publish a book, if only so that my grandsons can get to know who their grandfather really was, once I am gone. The title for my first book will be: Penetrating The Conspiracy Of Silence, or, How I Lived Beyond My Expiration Date I have since written 7 more books, all of which are now posted on this site. I have no plans to publish any of them, as their material is not of general interest, and would not generate enough income to justify costs. I have taken a deep look at life, and written extensively about it from a unique and rarely communicated perspective. Some of my writing is from 2016 on to the present moment. Other writing covers the time prior to 1987 when I was a boy, then an addict and alcoholic, with my subsequent recovery experience, and search for "Truth". Others are about my more recent experiences around the subjects of death, dying, and transformation, and friends and family having the most challenging of life's experiences. There are also writings derived from my personal involvement with and insight into toxic masculinity, toxic religion, toxic capitalism, and all of their intersections with our leadere. These topics will not be a draw for all people, as such personal and/or cultural toxicities tends to get ignored, overlooked, or "normalized" by those with little time for insight, introspection, or interest in other people's points of view on these troubling issues. There also will be a couple of writings/musings about "GOD", but I try to limit that kind of verbal gymnastics, because it is like chasing a sunbeam with a flashlight. Yes, my books are non-fiction, and are not good reading for anybody seeking to escape and be entertained. Some of the writings are spiritual, philosophical and intellectual in nature, and some descend the depths into the darkest recesses of the human mind. I have included a full cross section of all of my thoughts and feelings. It is a classic "over-share", and I have no shame in doing so. A Master Teacher once spoke to me, and said "no teacher shall effect your salvation, you must work it out for yourself". "Follow new paths of consciousness by letting go of all of the mental concepts and controls of your past". This writing represents my personal work towards that ultimate end.
