Politics! Why Politics? What is it that draws in men to politics? What makes people so induced by politics that they are willing to die for it, to long for it, to debate it, and then, after it arrives, dispise it! What is it in politics that makes so many of us turn our heads, either for it or against it... and nowhere more profund than amongst the LightWorkers. Why has their been a shift?
The shift happened as long as their has been corruption, greed and profiteering in politics. Simple.
Ronald Reagan once said, "Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." Why is politics seen and regarded as such? This is what I would like to explore here.
For generations man has looked to other men, (or women), to lead them and make their choices for them. It has become so ingrained into our psyche that we don't question it. We are at the bottom, they are at the top... they are our rulers! But what if I were to say it doesn't have to be that way.
Think! How does the government come to have such power? Is it by chance? No, nothing happens by chance. Is it by glory? No, their is no glory in politics. How then is power acquiesed? The answer is the people. It is always the people who are in full control of their future and the way it works, for it is people who make up the state which the senate will rule. It is the people who except that this is the way things are meant to work.
Therefore politics is secondary to the very fact that people like to be ruled and like to be told and ordered as to what to do. Think about a job you may have done, were you expected to be told what to do, and the boss says, "I don't know, do what you want!" What happens? Your mind gets confused, your nerves fly up and your voice jitters... you don't know what to do! You were hoping that someone else would!
This hoping for someone else to help them is where the game begins, because we instantly turn away from the source of the answers inside us called "Divine Consciousness" that is not seperate from us like the politicians but is part of us and is one with us... how then could that guidance be anything less than beneficial to the self?
Now, whilst reading this, you may wonder what I am advocating in spite of politics then, but that is not what I want you to think. I want you to think about the nature of why politics came to be in the first place, and is reborn everytime someone vouches for politics, just like evil can only exist in the minds of those who feed it, in angry violent hateful thoughts... existing like a virus hoping in the shadows, hoping that the shadows won't be swallowed up byt the light... but they are, and they do get such. Darkness is merely an absence of light, it is not a thing unto itself. Evil only exists in the minds of men who feed it with feelings of fear, pain, and hunger... (even the animals are not exempt from this law of existence, the more advanced ones who still feel anger, hate, envy, arrogance.)
Politics only affects your life as much as you wish it to. Being subjecated to the whims and fancies of others. This is politics how humans have made it. Corrupt like America, Cruel as in Zimbabwe, Defiant as China. This is the work of man. This is where decision making become a game of survival, or riches, of ego... and it is that which I cannot accept.
On the other hand, politics of the Divine is different becuase it only works in Pure Love, that which is for the total benefit of ALL creation, and eventually leads to all being well fed, well clothed, loved and nurtured... taking nothing for itself in the bargain, for why not, when It needs nothing! These are the true politics which are ceaslessly at work maintaing our bodies and the universes, inspiring us, healing us. Anything else is only secondary and a mere copy of the work the 'Father-Mother' does for us all.
Every society on Earth has politics of some sort. Every single one, whether it be President, Prime Minister, Council of Elders or a Chief. They are look to something transcendent for authority, help and inpsired guidance. This is fair enough, and even necessary to some degree... but Never, NEVER, at the expanse of the true source of transcendent Loving Guidance which is the Great Spirit. Not realising love before man and his politics starts you sliding down the slope of human-hood which locks you in the phsyical, and you can no longer see the way out if a drought comes, and your crops fail, or storms abate. These are out of the hands of your politicians, yet not out of the hands and lives of you all.
When it comes to the time when you are faced with the decision to support a bill or reject it, to vote in the election or reject it, to fight the governemnt or to accept it... think on these things. What matters more than who is in power and what he says is the power you have and what you say, for these are the politics of daily life whicb can hinder or help more than the man in power can, for he is merely the puppet in the game called "Human Power", and this game people by into and accept this man's rulings.
What about God's rulings? When do you give credit to His inspiried ideas? Why not allow Her Love to be your guiding light instead or how many votes you get and who loses in politics? These are the games of the Whitehall bureaucrats, not for citizens of the Earth. That means helping those who need help, and protecting those who need protecting... and healing those people, ideas and beliefs that cause so much pain and suffering.
"Before Kingdoms can change... men, must change." (John the Baptist)
FIRST - Change the Inner World...
SECOND - Watch as the Outer World follows!
THIRD - Respond to the Outer World from the same Inner place of stillness
FOURTH - Rejoice that you are finally bringing true political genius to this planet.
You are a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven BEFORE you are a citizen of the US, UK or wherever you are. Heaven comes before Earth, heaven is already here in the hearts and minds of our people... being fully Spiritual MEANS being fully human and being fully loving for the environment you found yourself in since birth. Use it! Work from it! Don't work against it!
Love is the only Politic! Love is the only force which overides every single government bill, directive and incentive. THIS is why I no longer vote, and yet I have NEVER stopped being political, for being political is about being ACTIVE in Spirit, making it an ACTUAL-ity, proactively by responding to people and situations with true love which grows, heals, works, protects, fills need and promotes survival.
