Yes

What a gift and an honor to be human now. I am humbled by the opportunity that exists for us.

The level of discord that is unfolding at the surface level is like the tantrum of a 3 year old, a three year old that needs the unconditional loving hug of Grandma. No amount of shaming or blaming the 3 year old will calm her. But the unconditional loving hug of grandma will. The keyword being unconditional.

The unconditional loving hug of grandma doesn't contain within it concepts of good, bad, right, wrong, finger-pointing, shaming, democrats or republicans, blaming this person, or that group, or that race. Those ancient stories got us here and won't get us out of it. Period. We don't have to tell those stories anymore. We can retire them.

The discord we're bearing witnessing to is the (personal) discord passed down through the generations unconsciously until it landed with us here and now. None of it is happening externally, We've all contributed to it.

Any negative outward projection or judgment onto other as the culprit, cause, or blame of anything means there is stuff within to metabolize (which sounds easy but actually requires fetal position at times). That is how personal and therefore collective healing occurs. Every last one of us has within us both perpetrator and victim energy. It is up to us which energy, which story line we choose to feed.

Healing is here. Now. Not tomorrow, not next year. It is an option to stop believing and feeding the fear-based, duality-perpetuating stories of how these people did this, and those people did that, and go hug someone who triggers the shit out of you. Go look in their eyes, say I love you. And mean it.

It means dropping the story of how the patriarchy did this, or that race or creed did that (which is not at all the same thing as an invalidation of what has occurred, or complacency with regard to right action). Perpetuating those old stories perpetuates the duality-based fear we've all grown weary of, and is a convenient means of avoiding that within which wishes to be metabolized, alchemized, by the pure presence within, here and now.

I am thankful for the opportunity to be human, to be alive now, to metabolize the fear-based trauma drama that has been swimming in the soup of humanity for eons. We signed up for this or we wouldn't be here.

I say yes to the in-breath and out-breath, to the opportunity. Fear-based shit, you don't scare me. I see you, you sweet afraid three-year old. And I will always be part of grandma's hug, no matter how difficult it feels. It dawns on me that grandma's hug is actually hugging ourselves, not an external something.
