There is a “calm knowing” that I’d mentioned in a previous post and it’s what I’m experiencing now. Initially, I felt oddly calm after our voices and choices were suppressed via hatred. I didn’t think I was in shock. Then I wondered if it isn’t over yet and recounts will prove we are not doomed into the vacuum of hatred and despair. Of course, it’s obvious the vacuum exists either way. Hate has won temporarily, and it certainly has not captured the hearts of all in our country of promise. I did feel calm and even was able to enjoy the sun and company of great friends this dark fateful day. On Wednesday, I still felt calm and connected with other psychics and empaths to see if anyone felt similarly. Most of us did and were confused as to 1) how we all could be wrong in our predictions, and 2) how do we move forward and process this catastrophe? Of course, #2 is a personal journey. We can seek counsel from others but, ultimately, we have to feel the feelings and allow them to move through us so we can function beyond them.

Despite my anger that isn’t too severe and is under control, I do have a calm knowing that we’re here because too many people haven’t learned how to love themselves much less others. They choose to inflict pain and suffering on themselves again and again and bite the hand that feeds them. The calm knowing is that their battles are not mine to fight; their karma is not mine to live, and their stories are not mine to tell. If we’re going to own our lives, then we must own our destinies too and the journeys to get there. We all fall down, and not all get back up. I happen to be resilient. I remember when I prided myself on my strength. A therapist friend said to me being strong isn’t enough because even strong people fall down. And it’s okay to fall down. But resilient people get back up and keep going with new and improved attitudes and behavior. Resilient people don’t keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. They don’t stay sitting in the vat of self-pity, but only temporarily; and we mull over life and choices during vital self-reflection.

I believe that perhaps our psychic abilities actually shield us even when we’re alarmed at the depth of despair that is approaching. Perhaps it’s because we get a heads up that helps us be resilient. We can prepare mentally and physically. We can offer up protections for ourselves and others. We can define boundaries and cease interactions with those who choose to hurt themselves and others. Our hearts don’t shrink but our intuition is strengthened when we realize we need to be attuned to someone’s true intentions. We do get it wrong sometimes, though, especially if you’re an optimistic person and can zero in on the feel-good emotions in the collective… similar to the Harris/Walz joyfulness. How could it fail? Sigh.

I’ve avoided talking “politics” on this forum but won’t be silent as to not offend anyone or chase any readers away. Currently, I’m okay with people jumping off my ship of equal opportunity and acceptance. People can live their insulated lives… just not on my boat. I will cruise down river on my ship of dreams and acceptance for all good people. I will continue to be generous to people who struggle and don’t shoot themselves in the foot with a vote that only hurts them and their causes. I will offer assistance to an organization where I live that helps women in need. Generally, I give rides to dr appts; I have a client today to help out. I still am using humor and wit to cope with the shock and suffering that so many fear. As a white woman of privilege, I have to worry less than others. This fact about inequalities infuriates me and breaks my broken heart again and again.

This is my final message today… to keep your hearts open to those who are good and giving, regardless of how much they have. Keep your hearts open to let love in from good people who want to know you more than they want to take from you. Keep your hearts open to your own suffering and longings. If you made a mistake, say it. Apologize to those you hurt by your actions. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made. We all make mistakes. Utilize your intuitive gifts to help yourself and others. Always help others. Don’t forget to meditate. We need all the good karma we can get. Namaste.
