Fighting Fire With Fire Gets Us Where?

We know this.     An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth…. never solved anything.  It made some people feel better.  Temporarily.   But it never solved the inherent problem.

Learn to Live in the Eye of the Storm.

This upheaval we are experiencing at this time on this planet is gong to be here for awhile.  It is part of the process of waking up to “all that is”.   The best advice out there is to somehow learn to live in the eye of the storm, and not in the storm itself.  It won’t stop the storm.    But you’ll feel better.  And you’ll be able to be of more assistance to the rest of humanity when you’re not worn out and frazzled by being buffeted around.

People are waking up.  They are realizing that in various ways and means, they have been lied to.  They have been stolen from.   They have been deprived of their own assets, and they have basically been enslaved.    What is their first reaction?  Anger.   Depression.   Fear.   Do we fight back?  Do we give in?  Do we hide?   What do we do?

Calling each other names is not going to solve anything.

Singling out an entire race/country/company/group and trying to exterminate them because “someone” affiliated with them did/said something someone else didn’t like has been done.

Bombing an entire country for the crimes – even of their leader – makes no sense when you understand that the people really don’t choose their leaders.  Voting, for the most part, has been an illusion.  Figureheads are chosen.   But generally not by the populace.  (Even when the populace thinks they chose them.)

Figureheads are rarely who they seem to be.  They are but mere players on the stage… their private lives are an entirely different thing.   We see this over and over and over again -revealed to us once these people are out of the limelight – when they are dead and gone.

Assassinating a leader does not solve anything.  Because the person you see is never really in charge.  They are just the figurehead.   If they fail, there will be someone assigned to replace them,

Why Would Someone Run For a High Profile Job Knowing the Risks – Defamation, Assassination?

Greed.  Stardom. The promise of leaving a legacy.  Family obligations.   Loyalty to an oath or pact.

As an example, if you look back at recent history… the position of the President of the United States is worth several billion dollars in personal wealth accumulation once the job has been competed.  How?   There is an abundance of kickbacks from foreign countries, foundations, and large corporations awarded to these individuals in exchange for steering policy in a certain direction.    (The “kickback” latest vehicle of choice has been charities.  But make no mistake, this is not a new idea.  Kings and Queens, mayors, presidents, senators have benefitted from kickbacks long before these latest vehicles were even a concept.)   Having a family member enter politics has always been a strategic move, not a benevolent one.  It is a very necessary component when building an empire.

So yes, when you assassinate a leader of a country, a county, a city… there is always someone waiting in the wings to take their place, – whom you may or may not like.   Sometimes this involves a change in power – from one elite family to another – and sometimes not.   But, one thing you can rely on,  the “new leaders” are poised to suck the system dry just the same.  Just differently.   So, maybe the new policies will harm someone else and not you.  Much better…?!

So, What Do We Do?

Remember, this is not new.    Speaking up is a good thing.  It helps other people.  But there is often a price to be paid for speaking up.. for raising your hand.   I came across a Dixie Chicks song from 2007 recently which was talking about the struggles they encountered after speaking out against Bush and the war in Iraq while they were in London at a concert.

“When Natalie Maines remarked at a London concert on March 10, 2003 that she was “ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas,” the Dixie Chicks were dropped from playlists at many radio stations and subjected to attacks on their character, even death threats.”

The US Media backlash was harsh and unending.  People were sending her death threats, rallying people to boycott their concerts.  It was a horrible experience.   The lyrics to this song in light of what we have all been experiencing today are very powerful:

Not Ready to Make Nice

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price, and I’ll keep paying
I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell, and I don’t have time
To go ’round and ’round and ’round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I know you said
Why can’t you just get over it?
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it
I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets, and I don’t mind saying
It’s a sad, sad story
When a mother will teach her daughter
That she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how

The Hate-On for Donald Trump is Un-ending

The amount of the hate and anger pouring out against Donald Trump is amazing.   Especially since you have to know that he is, once again, merely a figurehead.  There is way more going on here than meets the eye.   It also tells you something else… there is a power shift going on and someone does not want to lose control.
This hate-on campaign also does several other things:
  1. It makes his supporters love him and be more loyal to him than he could possibly achieve all by himself.
  2. It turns formerly rational people – who two years ago were confidently promoting “peace not war” –  into crazed psychopaths promoting assassination and more.
  3. It focuses a whole nation’s (world’s) energy onto specific issues and not on others.  Good or bad.  People are focused.
It is something to watch, that is for sure.

Focus on Results.  What are Your Goals?

In times of turmoil, in times of unrest, structures are being torn down.  Some were very supportive structures and they will be missed.  But others were old and repressive and needed to leave.    Remember that.  Both are true.
What is also true is that, in this upheaval, there will be a void created.  What do you want to fill this void?
  • What do you want to achieve?
  • How do you want the world to be?
  • What would you like to experience?
  • What are your goals?

Don’t miss this opportunity.  Focus more than you ever have before.  This is an opportunity.  Don’t miss out on it because you got “caught up in the storm”.
