hmm, Christopher, if you come back, I have a question for you. You say you thought this site was to elevate consciousness and raise consideration of self and others. What were you feeling when you posted the first post?
As a US Democrat, I pretty much felt not only smacked, but also completely misunderstood. As I read the rest of the thread, the feeling sense I got was a lot of rage, and a strong desire to see your "enemy" lose--along with a lot of glee at the prospect.
What do all of these border walls represent? what have we projected on the people we want to keep out? they are just external analogs for our fears. the problems will never be solved on the outside, until we solve them on the inside.
personally, I am all about lowering consciousness. bringing consciousness to the dark places, the hidden places, the hurt places. because there is where we will find the answers we are seeking, the healing we are seeking, the victory we are seeking. sometimes it is good to unplug, to go out to nature, to seek the wisdom of a gnat.
