On Trump and Transformation...

I’ve been in such a strange place these last few days. Despite all the things I need to be doing for school, all I actually end up doing is listening to speakers and mystics on youtube and connecting with people that help bring me clarity.

You see, the concept of Khepri - death before rebirth - has always resonated True for me. Trump winning the election struck me and so many of us so hard because of the impending death and destruction we know is upon us…the one that has to happen before new ways can be paved in a real and sustainable way. I feared it, made excuses against the possibility, and it has since brought me much anxiety. But common sense tells me that the utopia of peace and love and light I envision for my children cannot happen within this shit show of our current system. 

The suffering will come…it is already visible and palpable. 

So, what do we do now? How do we prepare?

Our greatest contribution is not in our protests and fight against, but in the tangible ways we can reduce suffering for ourselves and in the lives of others. 

In other words, we must create the conditions we want to see in the world both within and around us by actually DO-ing and BE-ing it...right where we are, using with what we have and what we know.

In essence, as a collective we chose authenticity over pretense, change over illusion. How now can we align our own lives with authenticity and transformation? 

To put it another way, how can you step the fuck up to that which you have desired for your life for so long?! It's time to dedicate yourself to your inner life and to be fully and authentically you. No more delays, no more excuses.

The time is now.
