It’s kinda funny. A blog post from a site called Contented Moment on Election Day 2020. At some point, I will post at regular intervals. This is a placeholder for growth. Tilling the soil for things to grow.
That’s what today is about - tilling the soil for growth. I’m writing this as a reminder to all of us to stay true to ourselves about what we want and what we can be. We are spiritual/energetic beings first and foremost, having a physical experience. Your energy field/soul/spirit - whatever you want to call it - is everything and you need to protect it today and every day.
A lot of people think money is the most valuable currency and while there’s no arguing that having money is better than not having it, money only buys certain freedoms.
Integrity, rational intelligence, emotional intelligence, kindness, honesty, decency and empathy are all important types of currency that cannot be bought.
A kind, empathetic person - a person who has practiced these qualities over the years - will have a big fluffy energy field. Even though it’s not really visible to the naked eye, people can feel that energy.
There’s a certain underlying physics to energy exchange and people really have one of two types of reactions to your energy. They are either attracted to it or repelled by it. There are as many reasons for this as there are people because we all come into a situation with our own set of chemistry and experiences.
You can’t control other people’s reactions. The only thing you can control is the maintenance of your own energy field.
Here’s the most important physics statement I can share - all movement is an exchange of energy. We can practice behaviors in our human form that increase our energy, we can interact with others in a way that increases our energy and nurtures their energy OR…
We can poke at others in a way that may temporarily get us a rush of energy but causes them to leak energy. Some people are well practiced at poking others to lap up the leaked energy. That doesn’t really increase the poker’s energy in a sustained way though. It just brings a momentary rush but since it feels good in the moment, they continue to poke. It’s up to the person who is being poked to either allow that to happen or to preserve their energy by not reacting to the poker.
Here’s how that all might play out TODAY. You go to vote. There are people at the polling place who are not officials and they are asking you who you are voting for. Do you:
1. Swear at them and tell them it’s none of their business
2. Proudly say you are voting for Kermit, fully knowing that they want you to vote for Miss Piggy, get into an argument and stay angry and vibrating throughout the whole experience
3. Ignore them and hope they go away, knowing they will not
4. Tell them you are voting for Miss Piggy to make them go away but then vote for Kermit knowing that they cannot follow you into the voting booth
5. Tell them ‘don’t worry, you will be happy with my choice.’
Put yourself in each of those scenarios and imagine how they make you feel, in the moment, all day, perhaps all week. With scenarios 1 and 2, you might not even get to vote. You might get punched or you might throw a punch and you might end up in jail or the hospital. This is obviously a worst case scenario but we are living in unprecedented times. The point is that the feeling associated with scenarios 1 and 2 have the lasting consequence of a drain on your spirit.
There really isn’t a way of predicting the outcome of 3. There isn’t really a strong vibe of ‘I know what I want and I’m going to make sure I get to preserve my energy.’
Scenarios 4 and 5 carry with them the energy of preservation of your energetic field. You are not going to allow outside forces to poke your energy in a way that drains your spirit of fulfilling your purpose. You know in your heart of hearts that Kermit will make the world a better place so you know that, even if the person standing in front of you thinks they want Miss Piggy, they will actually live in more contented moments if Kermit is president, so 5 is not a lie.
If you haven’t voted yet, please vote today. Please be safe in doing so. Preserve your energy. Vote with your heart. Don’t let anyone poke your energy in a way that they engage your emotions (which come with the body) and cause you to REact instead of ACT. Stay true to yourself even in these challenging circumstances.
I have heard the kindest people I know say things like they are ready to take to the streets with guns because the other side is in the streets with guns. This is the ultimate example of being poked to the point of leaking energy like a sieve. Nothing good can come from that. Nothing. Reacting is nothing more than pushing against and pushing against will never take you forward. Pushing against just brings more pushing. So please, for the sake of our country, for the sake of your health, your energy, your family’s well being, make sure you do your part to move us forward without any more reaction than necessary. Thank you. Namaste.
