socio-economic status. At a time when consciousness is supposed to have been evolving, we thought, how could a choice be made in this country that would move us -- and the world -- in the regressive, in our view, direction?
I personally was stunned by this election's outcome -- and yet, once I allowed myself to move through my shock and upset, I attempted to allow myself to sit with the realization that this outcome surely had happened for a reason.
In addition, whereas four years ago I had felt -- and continue to feel -- that there had indeed been a manipulation of the votes in Florida and that Gore had in true fact been the legal and rightful winner, this time I felt that the outcome did indeed reflect the will of the majority of the voters -- and revealed the true general zeitgeist of the present time in our country. "God help us!" I thought.
Purpose of the Outcome
If we accept that everything does indeed happen for a reason, what could be the purpose of these events? Four years ago, I tuned in and asked why Bush would indeed end up being inaugurated into office, instead of Gore. The information I received was that it was to show people clearly that the old way of doing things wouldn't work any more.
After this week's election outcome, I asked myself a similar question: if we are indeed supposed to have four more years of the Bush administration, at a time when so many of us have felt that consciousness was moving forward and that four more years of Bush and his colleagues would not help the evolution of consciousness, why would the opposite prove to be true and what would the purpose be? The information I received was that the present situation has to do with healing our fear, both our collective and individual fears.
As we know, fear is a major ingredient in our "stuff." The reason for the election's outcome having to do with healing fear and the different factors involved, according to the information I received, are somewhat complicated and also dovetail with other information I have received in the past year and will thus require some explanation.
