Elections and politics fully display our collective shadow, exposing deep levels of intolerance and bigotry. When we cannot face and embrace the insecurities inside ourselves, we project these fears outwardly, hating others instead of changing ourselves.
We may have good reasons to be angry and afraid. Unfortunately, oppositional energies cannot bring the change we so desperately need. Unless our hearts are transformed, our fears will continue to manipulate our politics, reinforcing a polarized and divided society.
The remedy is still the power of organized people. History has shown this to be the case after nations endured great tragedies and losses. Collective human consciousness can and will evolve, but it seems we have not suffered enough yet to realize our need for such evolution.
Ezekiel 37: 11-12 “‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ Therefore, prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again.”
