the current crossroads

I am inspired to speak on this magnificent crossroads we find ourselves kneeling at. We have waves of cosmic energy to ride, helping us, but if you do not believe in energy in that way, let me translate it another way. There are powerful intense ideas and intentions being communicated across the world in ways that were never possible before now. Examples of this include the messages of progressive transformation embodied by Black Lives Matter and the Bernie Sanders campaign.... There are old paradigms of thought that aim to keep us separated, such as the way people harp on the package that a person comes in, the package that creates labels, like man, woman, trans, black, white, Asian, Muslim and so on. This perpetuation of viewing the package the person presents themselves in, rather than truly hearing seeing and feeling what they bring to the table is one aspect of what the crossroads is offering us as a whole. If we go down that old, ugly road of stereotypes, prejudice, and fear, we will create only more cycles of the same. Now is our chance, and not choosing is still a choice! When we alienate each other, and such is the nature of our elections, we remain stuck in paradigms of paralyzing fears and patterns of manipulation. I urge you to examine the ways in which your actions and words aim to alienate or offer solace to those who suffer, even when we cannot really understand the suffering of that other being. It is easy to see the symbols and representations of what we hate, but the hatred is toxic inside you. It will hurt you far more than it will hurt the object of your hate, whether the symbols and representation of what we hate and want to destroy are promoted by a Politician, an Artist, a Corporation and so on. I suggest that to dismantle the structures that harm us, we need an actual overhaul of how we see the "other'' and how we see ourselves. Nobody is ALL love and light. And nobody is ALL shadow. We have gradient experiences and we all exist on multiple kinds of spectrums. Shifting this kind of thinking in this way, is what, I assert will actually bring a lasting kind of change, a huge amount of relief and the beginnings of the end of certain kinds of very old truly awful human suffering.
