Barack Obama and the New Love Story
The most important opening Obama has brought us is that so many people around the world have fallen in love. People in many countries have suddenly fallen head over heels, have found the place of hope, strength, enthusiasm, from where everything is possible. The leader of the social democrats here in Sweden, Mona Sahlin, commented softly yesterday that more people in the USA believe in Barack today than in Jesus... and she wished him good luck in accomplishing even one thousandth of what people expect of him.
Like any love story,
this one is starting with sparkling infatuation, and in order to not end with a speedy break up ... it will have to continue with the work of turning one's attention inward to find one's own wounds and patterns that block the unfolding of a new reality. People all over the world will have to recognize that it is not Barack Obama who will solve the problems, because the problems originate inside ourselves. As soon as our honey moon is over we will return to business as usual unless we go through the hard work of looking our loveless behaviour in the eye, recognizing our own aggression, greed, fear, carelessness, etc, etc. These are the hard times that love needs to carry us through, the times of getting honest.
Those people who have found their connection to Spirit, to what we are beyond our individual and collective behaviour- beyond our wars, dramas and turbulence of all kinds- they will be able to see, forgive and move on. They will have the awareness to see what is loving and what is not, to think, speak and act from only love.
I would like to remind us all that any judgmental thought is a destructive thought. Any loving thought is a creative thought.
This doesn't mean that we don't see things as they are, that we cannot discern between evolutionary directions and such that is not in our best interests as a planetary family right now. But the judging needs to be seen through. It is always in the eyes of the perceiver, and that's where it needs to be dismantled and let go of. Change will not happen through harsh judging, but through understanding, compassion, support, honesty and love.
I feel that every person on our planet needs to strive for complete truth within themselves, if we are to see a changed world. That means that we agree to look at all our sides, see the inevitable blend of light and darkness within ourselves, love and forgive the patterns which do not help us today and let them go. With an understanding and acceptance of our own light and shadow sides, we will be able to have true compassion and love for everyone who needs it. There will be many. We have exciting times of change ahead, and I think we need to stay grounded in the spirit which is beyond light and shadow, loving them both.
Love,
Aurora
