A vile, lying, divisive man, has parlayed his ability to profit off of the fear and hatred in the unhealed hearts of Americans, to become president of the United States. Even the Pope took pause with this man, questioning his basic connection to the fundamental truth that underlies his supposed “faith”. This man represents the interests of the “wounded white male ego”, and a religious segment of our country that has NO CLUE what it means to be a Christian, and the values that supposedly come attached to that particular belief system. What we, as a country, have just witnessed is the celebration of devaluation of the collaboration between cultures, religions, ethnicities, and countries by an uninformed, angry mob of powerless citizens. Trump is now your prophet, America, and I know that we are not going to enjoy the ride deeper into our collective and individual darkness.
For those of us who are disappointed with our fellow Americans, we still have the great work to continue, as always. We vote daily, if not moment to moment, for our values by how we behave in our own personal worlds, and our country needs the injection of our values into our collective consciousness MORE THAN EVER. Let us not live in despair, but instead continue our spiritual progress, with as much force of will as we can muster. “Even though you descend the ladder, I will lift you up again”, is the realization that healing and love will eventually get this country over the “Trump hump”, if its unhealed masculine energy and collective irrationality and superstitious reasoning are finally overcome.
