Our celestial Swami appeared in my dream this morning, dropping his precious gems of wisdom and solace into our awareness.
I must first say, that I have struggled with feeling anger and resentment towards our new president for the disrespect, contempt, falsehoods and attacks on climate change, social safety nets, women, healthcare, housing, free press etc.
A dear Sai friend also confided that she was experiencing mental upset and disturbed feelings. It appears that during a meeting she was at, some of the people present discussed the new president's inauguration with such happiness and acceptance despite the controversy surrounding him. She wondered how they could be so joyful and dismissive of such unrighteous behavior.
However, throughout all this, my main solace has been chanting God's name and Swami's assurance that Truth and Righteousness will always triumph. We just have to maintain steadfast faith.
In the dream:
The majority of Americans have felt that something is amiss when we can select a president that is so divisive and so cruel and careless with his language and strong opinions not based in any kind of fact. We are right to be upset and angry. We have to work together to correct this upset and bring things back to an even keel.
We must keep watch during this administration and use every tool necessary to prevent creeping into fascism and dictatorship. And then, turn things around, both two years from now and four years from now during the next elections. Let's make sure that right prevails over hypocrisy and greed. Even those that voted badly this time know what's right. They just didn't act on it properly. But they will learn the lesson.
You are no doubt correct about holding steadfast to your trust in virtues. But I feel perfectly justified in venting my outrage against tyranny whenever it rears its ugly head. It offends us all. I refuse to be led to the slaughterhouse without breaking a few rules as well as a few bones. Peace and love to you, dear lady.
Are you still angry at God for having lost a loved one due to sickness or unexpected circumstances? This book will give you a better understanding of death, God’s role in it, and what decision is before each of us that would allow us to see them agai
