New Energy vs Old Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are like me you meditate and visualize. I have\nlearned to identify the difference between \u201cold\u201d energy and \u201cnew\u201d energy in my\nmeditations. Sometimes when I\u2019m visualizing, or saying affirmations a bunch of\nnegative stuff comes to the surface. I call this \u201cold\u201d energy. Sometimes I get\nreally connected. I call this \u201cnew\u201d energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new energy moves (vibrates) really fast and it contains\nmany different aspects or variables. It feels really good. It\u2019s light. There\nare a lot of different components or aspects to it. I would call it\n\u201cmulti-variable\u201d or \u201cmulti-dimensional.\u201d If you compressed a multimedia movie\ninto a half-second, that\u2019s what it feels like. Everything is happening all at\nonce. It\u2019s an amazing experience; I like it a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cold\u201d energy is heavy, it feels crummy, it moves very\nslowly. It\u2019s dull and stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning I was experiencing both in my meditation, so I\nmoved some of the faster moving energy into the crummy-feeling heavy energy.\nThe old energy broke up; it couldn\u2019t handle the faster-moving new energy. Isn\u2019t\nthat exactly what is happening in the world today? The old paradigm is breaking\napart. The old system can\u2019t handle the new energy. Or, in other words, the dark\ncan\u2019t handle the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you recall, before Trump things were pretty slow. Oh, a\nwar here, a scandal there, but the world was operating within a box. As soon as\nTrump came on the scene, the world began to move a lot faster; the sides and\nthe top of the box exploded. Emotions became stirred up. Coincidence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump Interlude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am hoping that after the year 2020, after 4 years of the\nTrump Administration, the population of the US will be ready for a break from\nthe hatred, the confrontation, and the chaos. I\u2019m ready for it now!  Who knows, this could go on for a while longer\nif Trump runs in 2020 and wins again. But after that, what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interlude of Trump is preparing the way for something\nbetter. Trump is a temporary phenomenon. He\u2019s necessary right now; he\u2019s the\nperfect person to break an old system mired in darkness and corruption. Am I\nsaying that Trump is a warrior of light? Well, he\u2019s a wild card. He\u2019s a\ndrink-stirrer and a party crasher. But what party is he crashing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democracy hasn\u2019t been working in the US very well for the\npast several decades. Incumbents in Congress were getting re-elected about 95%\nof the time, until 2018 when many resigned or didn\u2019t run again. \u201cIncumbent\nmembers of the House seeking re-election are all but assured re-election. The\nre-election rate among all 435 members of the House has been as high as 98\npercent in modern history, and it’s rarely dipped below 90 percent.\u201d[1]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the U.S. Congress represent the people? We know the answer\nto that; the Congress has become historically unpopular during the past two\ndecades, yet incumbents keep getting re-elected. An old-energy system is in\nplace. How do you change a system that isn\u2019t working? You stir things up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is objectionable because he\u2019s not a politician. He breaks\nthe \u201crules\u201d of high politics, which is to shut up, be \u201cpresidential,\u201d give nice\nspeeches to placate the masses, be respectful of your corporate masters, and\ndon\u2019t rock the boat. Trump knows how corrupt the system has become because he\nhas himself manipulated the system. (It takes one to know one.) The other\npresidents, Democrat and Republican, knew it too. Presidents since Eisenhower (except\nfor the Bush\u2019s and Obama) have tried to break the deep state, where all of the\nhidden \u201cblack\u201d programs are. None have succeeded. Indeed, the great John F.\nKennedy was erased for his efforts.[2]<\/a> Trump\nhas had a hole card that JFK didn\u2019t have: whatever remnants of the military who\nare still loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are in a transition phase out of the old energy and\ninto…something much different. The new paradigm moves a lot faster. Things\nhappen quickly. Traditions fall by the wayside, and this angers a lot of people\nwho want to be left alone to raise their kids and go to work in peace. Well,\nthere are too many problems for that to happen. The fossil-fuel economy with\nits attendant pollution, the world\u2019s broken financial system that turns people\ninto wage slaves and creates poverty, and corporate corruption, have seeped\ninto politics, our homes, our families, and our daily lives. Trump is the\nTransitioner. It\u2019s ugly folks, and it\u2019s going to get uglier. That\u2019s because the\nold system is really ugly. When it starts to fall apart a lot of ugliness is\nexposed. The key point is that the ugliness is being exposed because the light\nis shining brighter. As 2019 unfolds there will be more exposure of corruption\nand darkness. This will continue into 2020. Look for it! It\u2019s a good thing even\nthough some of the stuff that will come out is horrible..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Trump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next step for humanity, after Trump, is a gradual\nincrease in compassion. Does this sound silly? Yeah it does, given the current\nenvironment. But the current chaotic scene is a result of a greater light\nquotient in human consciousness and on the planet. The primary characteristic\nof the light is love and compassion! In order for this to manifest the ugliness\nhas to come out and be inspected. The cancerous growths have to be removed.\nThese cancerous growths are hatred and intolerance. That\u2019s the period we\u2019re in\nnow. A lot of ugliness is coming to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, but Trump is responsible for it! He\u2019s a barbarian!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is what the Light sent us to break up the old system.\nNotice, I didn\u2019t say heal wounds and create a new golden age. That comes later,\nafter Trump. We\u2019re still in the \u201cdiscovery stage,\u201d as lawyers say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know how many years it will take for people to get\ntired of arguing and hating on each other. \nBut the next step in politics, in business, and life in general is a\nmore compassionate attitude commensurate with the rise in the collective\nconsciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201ctoxic masculinity\u201d Gillette ad, for example, is a plea\nfor more compassion. Some on the right say it is an insidious Bolshevik attempt\nto undermine the male gender, and masculinity in general, and turn the US into\na nation of wimps, ripe for a deep state takeover. That\u2019s the thing about the\nduality: there are always arguments on each side. My interpretation is that\nit\u2019s genuine, the manifestation of the changing consciousness of humanity. It\u2019s\nthe result of a gradual balancing between male and female energies in human\nconsciousness. It\u2019s the forerunner of a more compassionate consciousness. Compassion\nmeans a softening of hatred and hard-heartedness. It\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people on the right say that softening is bad because we\nneed to be strong in these times of darkness, in order to face the darkness and\novercome it. Others on the left say that the Transition period is actually the\nbeginning of fascism, represented by Trump. Both of these are old-energy\nconclusions. Compassion and love are never bad. Fascism is old-energy and\ndoesn\u2019t stand a chance in the new paradigm, no matter how hard the dark army\ntries to resurrect it. Look what is happening in Venezuela. Maduro is the\nepitome of a fascist dictator (doesn\u2019t matter what he calls himself). He\u2019s been\ntrying to bring things back to the old energy. It\u2019s not happening. The new\nenergy is tearing his country apart. If you\u2019re a Trump hater you can console\nyourself with the idea that if he truly is a fascist, he will also fail. So, no\nworries! Hate is not necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more compassionate consciousness is going to lead to new\ndiscoveries in science that will change our world for the better. I\u2019ve already\ntalked about this. The two things \u2013 compassion and science \u2013 are logically unrelated.\nThe two seemingly have nothing to do with each other. But compassion = greater\nconnection to source = greater intuition = new breakthroughs in knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time will tell. I believe that the current chaos is the\ndarkness being resolved. It all depends on your expectations for the future. My\nexpectations are overwhelmingly for a new paradigm and an eventual golden age\nfor humanity that will result in a high level of consciousness. The Transition\nis the first step along that road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all co-creating the future. It\u2019s our choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compassion is the Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Compassion is the ability to see both sides in an argument.\nA compassionate person feels no need to argue, because he or she can see the\nother person\u2019s point of view. In the old energy you \u201cfight\u201d for causes. You\n\u201cresist.\u201d This is juvenile and silly. Whatever you resist persists, for the\nsimple reason that you flow power to it and put all your attention on it. It\u2019s\nsimple Law of Attraction. Fighting something, by definition, postulates its\ncontinued existence. Fighting and resisting are low consciousness solutions\nbecause they guarantee the continuance of what is not wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The consciousness of\nseparation is what causes hatred, struggle, and conflict. Compassion is a\nhigher awareness. It comes from a position of strength, not weakness. Weak\npeople are often bullies. Truncated human beings (like psychopaths) have a\nsingle-minded attention to their own selfish interests. They are atrophied on\nthe other dynamics of life; they don\u2019t notice people and don\u2019t care about\nothers. Which is why they can devote their full attention to selfish ends. It\u2019s\nwhy they have risen to positions of power on a planet where the dark-light\nbalance has been in favor of the dark for thousands of years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the light is penetrating the darkness we\u2019re seeing\nan explosion. Here in the US, energy is building up in a corrupt system that\nhas had the lid on for decades. The result is that lids are blowing off. Trump\nis being blamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, he\u2019s at fault. He\u2019s doing it on purpose! Just read his\ntweets and listen to his speeches. He\u2019s trolling everyone he thinks is part of\nthe problem. Is he doing this because he\u2019s a saint? Some people think so. Other\npeople say it\u2019s just his destructive nature. Whatever the reason, Trump is\nfunneling the hatred toward himself. I think that\u2019s admirable. When an old\ncorrupt system breaks apart there\u2019s a lot of energy and hatred released. Trump\nis deliberately taking it on, deliberately provoking a system that would have\nfallen apart even if he had not appeared on the scene. He\u2019s just doing it\nfaster. It would have fallen apart anyway because it is old energy and is run\nby corrupt people. The sooner the better is what I say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who support Trump are all in, but there\u2019s really no\none in the other party to hate. Hillary is becoming an afterthought. There are\na lot of Democrats jockeying for position right now in the party, but Trump has\nbeen the overarching figure in US politics (and in world politics) since 2016. People\nare coming together, amazingly, on both sides. Trump is a unifying influence! Like\na strong magnet, he\u2019s unifying people for him or against him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is the collapse of the intense polarization surrounding\nTrump. Once enough \u201ccharge\u201d has been blown off the duality, on both sides, people\nwill take a step back. They will wonder what they have been doing with their\nlives, why they have been so passionate for or against. The creation of two\nclearly identified sides will lead to an inspection of both sides. When that\nhappens, people will be able to see the motivations of both sides. Eventually\nthat will lead to a more compassionate attitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end result of the hatred and contention of the Trump Era\nwill be more compassion. People will see that the polarization and the hatred\ngets nothing done. People will get weary of the blame game and begin the\ncreate-something-better game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this a crazy idea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope. Right now opinions are clouded by high emotion, on\nboth sides. We\u2019re still blowing off energy caused by thousands of years of karmic\naccumulation in the consciousness of humanity. Trump is the figurehead around\nwhich this is happening. This guy is a planet-wide figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually we\u2019ll have real democracy in the US, and\ncandidates who actually want what is best for everyone. We aint there yet\nfolks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love him or hate him, Trump is the perfect guy at the right\ntime. If Trump leaves the scene after 2020, it will be a sign that compassion\nis rising, and we\u2019ll see a few politicians run on  compassionate platforms. They will probably\nlose, but it\u2019s a start. This will lead to a positive trend in politics, where\nvoters expect more cooperation. If Trump runs in 2020 it will be a sign that\nhearts are still hard and we may see 4 more years of fighting, contention, and\nchaos. Personally I can\u2019t see this lasting beyond 2024. People are getting\nexhausted by the passion and the constant bickering and fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time will tell.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esoteric Explanations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I said in a previous post, no one expected what is\nhappening. There are so many variables and so much chaos a physical explanation\nfor current events is impossible. When that happens you have to move upward to\na meta-physical or esoteric explanation for events. That\u2019s been my focus all\nalong in my books and articles and blog posts. Moving upward is the goal\nof  higher consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher consciousness by definition is reaching conclusions\nthat were not possible before in an old system. It\u2019s going \u201cout of the box.\u201d That\u2019s\nprecisely what\u2019s happening today. So we can conclude that current events are\ngoing in a positive direction, even if we are taking a step back for every two\nsteps forward. People are waking up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nationalism is on the rise. In the old energy, nationalism\nmeant dictatorship and fascism, whether that fascism was leftist (Bolshevism,\nCommunism) or rightist (Naziism, corporate fascism). Today it means a rebellion\nagainst the planetary corporate fascist state. Guess what ladies and germs, we\nare already living in a freedom-stifling paradigm. In the old energy before\n2012, fascism already won. It has insinuated itself on a global scale, in\nglobal structures like the IMF, the World Bank, and military organizations like\nNATO that perpetuate poverty, top-down economic control, conflict, and\nhostility. Post-2012 nationalist movements are a freedom-based reaction to that\nIMO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nationalism naturally brings on fear from a lot of people,\nespecially those who are old souls, or who lived through  WW 2 and its aftermath. Some people refer to\nTrump as Hitler 2, but this is a reaction from the old timeline. In the past, every\ntime a figure like Trump appeared it led to tyranny. The rise of nationalism\nseems to be history repeating itself, but it is a time fractal from the old\nparadigm. We\u2019re on a different track now, a different timeline. But the\nremnants of the old timeline are still powerful. If we go with them we\u2019ll\ncreate a future that looks just like the past. No sane person wants that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all comes down to your attitude and your expectations. In\na vibrational universe, your expectations set up a resonance that co-creates\nwhatever your expectations are. It\u2019s a simple as that. Universal laws are\nsuperior to man-made laws, whether we like it or not. Whatever you go with you\ncreate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we must look past the chaos to a bright future,\ndespite all the good reasons not to. The news and the media will try to sink us\nback down into the mire; the media always emphasizes the negative. The solution\nis, despite the craziness, to hold your light and create a great future. Even\nif you can only do that for yourself, you will be doing everyone a great\nservice, for you will be generating positive vibes. These vibes don\u2019t go away,\nbecause they are captured in the earth\u2019s esoteric grids. Every time you\nmeditate, every time you exercise compassion for yourself or another, you put\nthat energy into Gaia, where it is stored. So go ahead and do that despite all\nthe reasons not to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to break out of the box of old thinking and reach\nfor new solutions. Greater compassion is a good start; compassion for ourselves\nand others, even when we\/they do stupid things.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a great video from Sadhguru about compassion and\nstepping into your power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
