Our
President symbolizes the eruption of a destructive cultural
volcano. But this slowly evolved volcano is much more than the person
Mr. Trump.
And we can trust
there exist untapped healing and creative forces within our
human soul. This eruption, formed in part by decades
psychological and mental laziness, can potentially serve to
wake us up.
Epochal turnings
threaten any sober mind for they force humans to see that
institutions, including religious assumptions, and familiar patterns
shaping daily life are called in to thoughtful question. No culture
chooses upheaval but it's historically the expected pattern of social and psychological(spiritual)revolution.
Being
in tune with the epochal nature of our times gets us closer to genuinely 'draining our
swamp'; which is something more significant than name calling or
crushing political opponents. The work to be done will not be humans
fighting each other. Something higher will win our energies if good
is to rise from the destruction and chaos that is now surging.
This
needn't mean throwing everything away but trusting new structures and
attitudes are being created on top of our oldest human roots and
calling us to a higher consciousness of human responsibilities and
capacities for shaping the world's future.
I
hope we cease being amused and entertained by the dazzling eruption
and begin seeing beyond that spectacle. We're part of a bigger
Earth story that is creating unexpected opportunities for
humans to become better than we have yet ever been.
Such
a hope is what this unusual moment in human spiritual evolution is
about. It can be a new beginning thrust upon our nation
and world, evolution's new challenge to our full personhood- mind,
body and soul. We may be waking up to a more whole and noble world
view!
