A Metaphysical Perspective Of The 2016 Presidential Election

The spirit of truth and love is within each one of us. It is the purest reality of our being and it is our life journey to discover how to express and use this unending source of knowledge, wisdom, and peace. Even though one’s spiritual journey is a singular, inner experience, it fits so perfectly with the spiritual enlightenment evolving within others, that when together, regardless of our diverse spiritual or religious backgrounds, we feel joined in a collective unity of mind and action.

So, how does all this change when our nation elects a president based on a campaign of extreme negativity, vulgarity, and violence focused towards those who appear different?  The beauty of eternal truth is that it doesn’t change, because it can’t change, because it is always present in potential.

We cannot force others to seek that inner inspiration of truth and love to guide their own lives. And, certainly, there are times when human, fear-induced thinking results in the rejection of love and empathy as necessary components to the solutions of human problems. The results of the 2016 presidential election appear to speak to this very point.

Yet, nothing is really changed. Love still counts. Love still wins. In fact, it is only love that wins in ways that will lift everyone. We are not required to fight back in anger or aggression towards those who feel anxious or fearful of a perceived loss of power or privilege. It is our responsibility to simply live life open to the spirit of truth and love, and to realize by so doing we make real in every moment of eternity that we touch, the presence and power of God.

When it is your time to speak or act, be vulnerable, dare greatly to be your highest self, and any fear or hatred in your midst, will be diminished by your love. This holds true no matter your human political viewpoint.
