Some Thoughts On The Midterm Elections Well the 2014 midterm elections are now over and, for me personally, the most surprising outcome is how little I cared. After going without television for a couple of years, one of the reasons I was happy to get hooked into the new fiber optic system (with its cable-like capacity) was to be able to check out major news events like national elections. Yet when the moment arrived I found myself spending almost no time at all in front of the tube. I realize that my behavior may elicit scowls from some of my friends. Please note that I am not trying to defend my position or engage in a debate over the merits of, among other things, who controls the US Senate. I realize that, regardless of your political persuasion, many of you will see these elections as tremendously significant in terms of their impact on the lives of countless people. I am not arguing with anybody. Once again I am reduced to explaining my behavior to the experience of an energy that I have given my life over to; a thing which is most palpably felt but which operates out of the sphere of logic. Since my ongoing Kundalini-like experience began some thirty years ago, I have attempted to allow this energy to guide my life. It exists beneath all of the attachments, beliefs and emotions which I experience on a daily basis. Some of my thoughts and emotions clearly seem to me to resonate with it and some of them clearly do not. I must say that I am a little surprised by the extent to which I am not being pulled to concern myself with the elections; or to be emotionally effected by their results. Again I am not arguing that my position is the right one, because right and wrong dont even seem to exist within this energy. If someone is on a path where these elections are of tremendous emotional significance to them, it would be absurd to say that my particular path is the right path or indeed, that it is a higher or a lower path. Higher and lower only makes sense to me in the context of my own particular growth; at the deepest levels of my being, what feels most authentic? What am I being pulled to do? I am being pulled to work on my book. I am not being pulled to react much at all to the midterm elections. Part of me is very surprised by this. But I have to stand with the experience of the energy that I feel within myself and that I experience as representing the most authentic part of my being. If you are doing the same, and we disagree, I only ask that we do so without separation or judgment. If you wish, you may humor the delusions of this 65 years old man. https://facebook/groups/1427523547516615/
