My readers will know that I almost never write about politics. And I still won’t now, except to acknowledge that the United States held another presidential election a few months ago. As we’ve seen so many times before, the pendulum swung back in the other direction, to the other extreme. We seem to have nothing but polarities left in our society. And polarities are doing nothing but fueling more division, anger, and hatred between individual citizens. I see no other solution than to tone down the extremes and try to find a middle road. Why are we so divided as a country? In 2025, we must commit ourselves to finding love and oneness.
Our country’s motto, printed on our currency, is “e pluribus unum”, which translates to “out of many, one” in Latin. This government was founded on the idea that we have many backgrounds and opinions, but we have come together to live in a cohesive group — embracing differences as the thing that makes us strong. But this seems to have been forgotten.
To survive, we have to find oneness and start to understand each other’s reasons before it’s too late.
Setting aside the ego and all of its attachment to anger is required now. No matter which side you’re on, this applies to you. It is a task that none of us is exempt from. And we must do our part to help turn tense situations into understanding and conflicts into reconciliations.
We Are Broken When Divided
Unfortunately, what it looks like to me is that society as a whole will keep dividing itself and moving toward polarization. It will keep creating separation until it can’t anymore. Someday, it will hit its limit, and as a collective, we will have no other choice but to come together.
People don’t want to choose to understand one another without coercion. Society won’t spontaneously choose love and compromise over fear and separation without a reason. There will have to be some catastrophic event pushing us to face each other and reconcile differences. I don’t look forward to it, but this is how the universe works. We’ve seen it in history before. Limitations of our self-serving behaviors have been reached and humans have been forced to come back to compassion for one another.
Spiritually, I can see it clearly. When humanity becomes so extreme that it can’t correct itself on its own, the universe provides an opportunity to change. When we repeatedly refuse to change, the next level is introduced, and we are given no choice but to let go of certain things. Just as your personal life is a series of karmic lessons from the universe, society also must learn as a whole from its mistakes and past decisions.
Stop the Blame and Anger
People right now are hurt, and they’re reacting by blaming each other. I see and hear people everywhere I look who feel down about the election results or use anger to celebrate their win — instead of taking the failure as a symptom of something big that needs to be understood between two groups of people and the win as an opportunity for compassion.
Why hate people so much who you’ve never met? What good does it do to be so angry and fearful of people who voted for a different person in an election? How can you pass judgment on millions of people just because there are beliefs you don’t have in common? I know you think they’re harming you and the people you care about, but trust me, they feel the same way about you. One of you has to choose to understand the situation deeply if we’re going to make progress as a society.
I know what we have in common. We all want to live in a harmonious, prosperous, abundant world. We all want to live in a utopia if we can. The problem is that few of us know how to get to utopia and those who do see it as nearly impossible. Why? Because it requires a gigantic effort and collective agreement, which we don’t seem capable of right now. But the very reason I am writing this is in hopes that we might be able to pull it off before it’s too late.
You can do something about it — your choices make a difference. You never know — you might start a chain reaction in the collective.
What it is going to take is a lot to ask most people. It’s to release anger and detach from many of the beliefs that you think define you. They don’t. You are still you even when you aren’t angry about elections and political issues. Why allow your emotions about the political climate to eat you alive? Don’t give it so much power. Shift your awareness to peaceful coexistence.
The Ego and the Need to Be Right
Tolerance and acceptance are what we need and you can play a part in it right now. All you have to do is stop harboring anger, stop trying to be right all the time, and imagine a world where you exist with your neighbors even when you disagree. Embrace differences instead of hating them.
There has to be a way to do this. It means releasing attachments to opinions. You can still have them, but you shouldn’t let them define your life. Human connections and oneness in the collective consciousness are more important than trying to be right all the time.
The ego thinks it is in danger when it’s not right. But you can rise above this to a level of consciousness where you don’t need to be right in order to exist. There, you’ll find that life is easier and you come closer to other souls, which is incredibly fulfilling to your soul.
Coming Back to Peace
Time changes opinions. Your experiences that have shaped who you are end when this life is over. But what endures is the choices you’ve made and the way you’ve handled disagreements with other souls.
This part of you survives in your energetic field and goes to the next life with you. The quality of your relationships and how you approach the rest of humanity matter in your soul journey, which spans many lifetimes. You want love, understanding, and peace in your auric field — not anger, hate, and fear toward others.
Is it more valuable to hang onto vindictiveness toward people who don’t agree with you, or to have a peaceful world where joy is effortless? There isn’t a simple answer at all, I acknowledge that. But I know that if we come together and commit to finding a way to coexist in peace, then peace is possible. We can make it happen if we choose. The problem is that many people aren’t willing to choose it.
