It’s fascinating, at least to me, to “listen” to the subconscious\/unconscious level to get some insight into what we’re experiencing on a conscious level. This was the writing part:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How wonderful to be certain of function
What power in purpose
Conquering fear the final frontier
What does salvation mean?

Queasy as the foundation give way
Crumbling a fundamental fallacy

Fiery rhetoric steeped in fantasy
Intolerable guilt on display
A national crisis ripe with opportunity
What is the consequence of nonsense?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I try to process it, a couple of things come into focus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • there’s a longing for purpose, and fear is the stumbling block.<\/li>
  • My questioning of the ego’s version of “reality” seems to be chipping away at that thought system, (and it’s uncomfortable)<\/li>
  • The current bombardment of discord in politics I seem to be drawn to, is starting to be reframed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    It’s starting to come together as – which lens am I going to use? The ego’s lens is familiar, the default interpretation. But, could it be true, what spiritual teachings offer as the truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Could it be possible I’m experiencing layers and layers of projection, of my creation? Could these be solely my stories, the ego’s stories, about self-righteousness, the guilty, being right that continue to run amuk in my thoughts? Could it really be my illusion, with me directing all these “others” as actors to play out the anger and fear of feeling separated from God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It’s a thrilling and fearsome prospect, considering the spiritual lens. I wonder what happenx next. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
