I just heard Marianne Williamson lost her primary bid. I
know it was a big disappointment for her. In reading some of the comments many
are suspecting the reason is consciousness isn’t there ‘yet’.
Whatever the case, whatever the reason, there are always
many levels of truth. It appears to those in the spiritual community who are
aligned with the basic Democratic Party’s platform that Williamson’s similar platform
is undeniably on the right path. But let’s look at this more objectively.
The Democratic Platform is honorable, with a strong desire
to care for our less advantaged, protect our weak, and give everyone a chance
to ascend to their potential, care for our environment and make employees
conditions safe and equitable, just to name a few.
One would think that the Republican Party, since they run in
opposition to the Democratic candidates, are for the opposite of these causes,
which of course is silly. The Republican Platform is also honorable, desiring
to glean every nuance of the founding father’s words, believing these writings are
highly evolved for any age. Their emphasis is on fiscal responsibility,
protection, individual growth and responsibility.
It seems obvious to me that to have a balance in our government
we need both visions. One without the other is not sustainable. From potential economic
collapse with severe poverty and pain from the model of caring for the
population by borrowing extensively with one approach, to extending our
involvement globally and harming the environment with another, causing
disastrous results, are equally harmful to all of us.
So, having only one of these visions in control would cause
calamity. Perhaps that is inevitable. As Deepak says chaos always reins before
a new, higher way emerges.
But I see a way to grow in consciousness and bring about
this new paradigm, healed and renewed and more evolved without this falling
apart phase.
We see the trend in voters registering as ‘Independent’ in
never before seen numbers. So this is a movement that desires more inclusion
and balance.
To bring in the new paradigm everyone is hoping for we need
to be more inclusive. We must find leaders that can bridge this
gap, leaders that understand fiscal environments deeply as well as being
spiritually attuned to lead country and world that offers more wellbeing for all
the people.
