    photo_martaadelsmanI haven’t discussed politics in my articles, and – don’t worry – I’m not going to start now!  Chances are, at some time in the election process, you felt apprehensive, and maybe you feel some angst now.  I write this to readers at all aspects of the political spectrum who want to stay peaceful during times of intense shifts.  Remaining peaceful means avoiding the rocky shoals of emotional upset and panic.

    We live in a world of polarities.  Humanity supports separations of hot-cold, happy-sad, right-wrong, Republican-Democrat.  There exists a place beyond these divisions, a space where we can access true inner peace.  In this space of peace, no polarities exist and everything is One.  It’s called Being, or Essence, or God (pick your favorite). The more we shift our focus at will to that peaceful space, the more we avoid becoming hung up on the rocky shoals of fear and foreboding.

    Here are some ways to move into that peace:

    First, breathe.  Whenever we notice physical or emotional tension, we can’t remain anxious if we take deep breaths and consciously relax.  This helps to close the polarity gap and allows us to open inwardly to qualities of Oneness – like non-judgment, acceptance, love, joy, etc.

    Second, remain in the present moment.  We can remind ourselves of what’s true now.  If the mind has propelled itself into future “what-ifs” and worst-case political scenarios, remember – they aren’t happening now.  (And if they are happening now, see the next paragraph!) We can stay out of those messy, purposeless thoughts that lead to fear.  Simply say, “In this moment…” followed by what we know to be true now.

    Third, accept.  Resistance to what-is causes suffering.  I like to view the goings-on in the world as a play being acted out on the stage of humanity.  When I look at the play from the perspective of that space where no opposites exist – where there is only one essence of everything – I see it as entertainment.

    This is not to say we need to remain passive. Part of staying present includes attuning to inspiration and guidance to do something, if that is our calling.  This will be the case for some and not for others.  We get to practice accepting the different ways that different personalities live and move in the political climate.

    Fourth, trust. Trust the benevolence of Being, that it has only love and wisdom for everyone.  Governments and elected officials come and go. The only permanent and unchangeable reality is Being.  All divisions come together in Being, a space where we can’t possibly judge and make others wrong.

    Candidates, presidents and the world stage are not the source of our inner disquiet.  Nor are they the source of our happiness and joy.  We can’t blame them for our feelings, thoughts or beliefs – political or otherwise.  They reflect something in me.  When I become genuinely curious about – and study – my own reactions to the world actors, I learn a lot about myself.

    To successfully maneuver the shoals of uncertainty, trepidation and fear, let’s stay connected to the True Source.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
