The Only Choice That Matters

The only choice that matters:

we mistakenly believe that the election is between two candidates and their parties. It's approached as a matter of sides to be taken, one warring faction against another, and that there will be a wining party and a losing one. This is the politics of the ego - and it keeps us trapped in the paradigm of previous generations, a perpetual battle against ourselves.

and everybody loses.

every election, this one included, is a personal matter and has little to do with who we vote for. It's not about election day itself, nor political wins and losses, and nothing to do with candidates. Here's the significance, and maybe most important of all in these next few days -

what do we do after? 

this is when we presented an important opportunity - 

do we choose peace? 

love?

or continuing warring against each other?

it's the only choice that matters.

I'm reminded that a that we're all teachers of God, students too, and right now we're in a unique position to teach/learn exactly who we truly are. In the Manual for Teachers A Course in miracles states that our qualifications as a teacher consist solely on a single moment when we make a deliberate choice to not see our own interest as being separate from another's - 

or perhaps more concisely stated...

we simply choose to love.

so do we teach/learn this all important lesson?

I don't now.

but it's the only choice that really matters.

Election

Election: 

this is a high stakes election for many, viewed as one that could change the course of the nation, and emotions are heated on both sides of the political aisle. I obviously have my own preference and most people guess correctly through conversations and my writing. But I don't talk about it as much as I used once did, there's little need as I don't need confirmation and I know that there's little, if any, chance in changing anyone's mind. 

nor do I really wish to.

I simply live my life by values held dear.

kindness.

empathy.

compassion.

forgiveness.

trusting that others will arrive here on their own.

so with this I surrender the results of this election. I will vote, but refuse to take a side that pits me against another. I am not a political party and neither are you. We're family, deeper still, we're heart connected, belonging together as loving thoughts in the single mind of God. There's no way I could ever take a side against you, an impossible task and one I will no longer even entertain. 

whatever the outcome...

I will love you.

happily so.
