ARE WE STILL GIVING OUR POWER AWAY
It can be confusing when we see key people in Trump's team being
replaced. We just get used to someone, and suddenly they’re gone.
Sometimes we are given a good reason for their departure, and other
times they are labeled corrupt and fired. I have a theory about this.
Many of us now realize a key requirement of moving to a better way of
life, free of corruption and injustice, is to regain authority over our
own lives. We don't doubt that this needs to happen. We've been allowing
practically everyone else to tell us what to do for a very long time.
Authorities of one form or another, extending into every avenue of life,
have virtually been saying, ‘We can do it better than you.’ And we
bought the idea that the experts knew best.
A major factor in letting other people and organizations take over our
lives, was simply that we were too busy. We were obediently following a
deliberately constructed rat race set up to capture our time and energy.
Embedded in that system was a heavy focus on appearance and status.
Many felt they had to tick certain boxes just to fit in and meet
expectations. So we entered the mire, buying designer brands, the latest
tech gadgets, and the best cars or furnishings, all to show we'd made it
and feel good about ourselves. There was a huge emphasis on making money
because we felt we had to provide our families with material things. We
worried about what others would think if our child went to school
without the latest backpack or fancy lunch box. Often overruling a
career we would have loved, we climbed the ladder of success, chasing
the position that paid the most. For those who didn't achieve that
social success, it often meant depression, a lack of self-worth, and a
lot of unhappiness.
Because we were so busy being socially acceptable, trying to keep our
head above water while juggling commitments and thoughts of 'I have to
do it,' we let others decide how we lived. We let them dictate what our
children learn, the quality of our food and water, the endless stream of
taxes, and the way we deal with sickness. Aside from this, we have
trusted ourselves so little that we are forever asking others how we
should handle life. This is fine, provided we then tune into our own
sense of right action. That is the ultimate goal for humanity, to sense
from within what is right and to let that be our first move, leaving
behind a constant seeking of guidance from external sources. Millions of
events on Earth are now helping us achieve this goal, pushing us to seek
inner guidance and strengthen our connection to the divine source of
life. This is necessary so we can move forward making heart centered
decisions from our inner knowing. That alone leads to the creation of a
new world.
We have realized that our dependence on the media, various authorities,
organizations, and governments was not the way to go. That includes
making choices based on advertising and the opinions of people we felt
carried weight because they were well known. We listened to people we
liked, from TV personalities to football players, and perhaps experts
and gurus we felt could be trusted not to steer us wrong. Our perception
of them was based entirely on their public persona, which of course
provides their income. Companies know that if a celebrity promotes a
product, it is a guaranteed bestseller. That also applies to celebrities
persuading political votes. I have spoken to people who could not stand
the product they promoted on TV, but the job paid well, so they did it
anyway.
So we learned something. We learned not to give our power away blindly
to people we think know a subject better than us, or to people we think
we can trust. But have we truly learned that lesson, or are we still
doing it? Have we stopped following one authority only to replace it
with another.
We abandoned the mainstream media and started doing our own research to
find the truth. That was a great start toward finally hearing the truth
spoken by our inner voice. But then, a new habit of blind acceptance
started forming with truthers and white hats. Let us be really clear
here, this is not in any way a criticism of truthers, researchers,
commentators or white hats. Most are doing amazing work. It also doesn’t
mean to stop trusting people. The real point is that regardless of who
it is, we can no longer blindly follow anyone ever again. We cannot
reach sovereignty by creating new figures to follow unquestioningly. It
doesn’t matter whether someone sounds convincing, presents mountains of
data, appears highly intelligent, holds an impressive position, has a
large following or seems trustworthy and sincere. None of those things
remove our responsibility to think for ourselves. The moment we become
impressed and stop questioning, we begin giving our power away again.
So, what might be the actual reason that Trump changes his staff so
often?
When we
start to rely on someone on the team and relax because they appear
competent, it seems that person does something we think is stupid, or
they resign with a plausible reason or they take another job. Or they do
something that gets them fired and replaced. That usually kicks us right
back off the train. It doesn't only apply to staff, the same thing
happens with key public truth speakers. Mostly, we don't recognize that
we were giving our power away again, but we had started to rely on them.
Trump does a similar thing. He regularly says and does things that
challenge even those who support him. He seems to be getting the job
done while also making sure people don’t put him or his team on a
pedestal or view anyone as indispensable. It’s a balancing act where he
is able stay effective only as long as we retain our own power.
Maybe we still think others will save us. While people can help, guide,
and play important roles, in the end, the responsibility is ours. We
need to be able to discern truth from lies to make conscious choices.
We’re moving toward a way of living where people recognize themselves as
sovereign spiritual beings, guided by their own inner knowing, and able
to sense truth in every moment. The goal is not to find better people to
hand our power to. The goal is to take it back. Keeping that single goal
in mind helps make sense of so many actions in the world today.
