You have some questions about the government shutdown today
While there are many that will be curious about the length of time that the shutdown will take place, that is not which we wish to speak about. We wish to speak about the Why, the Why, the Why, the Why is this happening. What is the bigger picture? What is the purpose?
And our channel asks why are we even talking about politics at all cuz that is not a topic that we typically address, however this is a broader conversation about much more than politics. This is about the damage that shutting down has on one, whether it be a global system of government or a person. Let’s talk about shut down. Is there a benefit?
When you cannot come into alignment with someone or something and your response is shutdown, shutting down in the sense of not taking action, not accessing emotions, not brainstorming a solution but a shutting down, it serves no one. It is a stopping of the flow. It is a stagnation. It is an act of resistance. And not in a sense of standing up for rights but an act of resisting that which wants to come forth.
And you say, but when what is trying to come forth seems so damaging and does not take into account the greater good or humanitarian options how can you not stand up for the greater good? And we say that is not the same thing. The standing up for the greater good is not the shutdown. The shutdown is the temper tantrum that is happening in response to something you don’t like or resisting change or refusing to find a space of alignment.
And where you may see that in your daily life is in giving up as opposing to surrender. And what we mean by that is Let’s use food…
“Oh I give up on making the healthy choices. It is all too difficult. I will just shutdown what my body is telling me and resort to patterns and habits. Whether they support me or not. Versus surrender which is “I hear what my body is asking for and I surrender to its divine wisdom even if it feels challenging at the beginning.”
Let me give you another example in family dynamics. In a disagreement between partners where one or both choose to go into the silent treatment or shutting down their feelings about a situation just to play nice. Again that is resistance to coming into alignment and what that does is it causes stagnation in your system. Both in your physical system but also in the organism that is your relationship. And when a system is experiencing shutdown it is impossible for Universal flow to move through it and bring it into homeostasis, into balance. And so a rot sets in which can undermine the organism as a whole. Just as stagnation in the body sets in a rot per se of healthy cells and can damage the entire organism requiring medical intervention, so can a rot set in to the organism of a relationship requiring intervention in order to heal that relationship.
That is what is happening in the grander scale with the government shutdown. There is a stagnation that is happening that will cause a rot to set in that will require intervention to heal. It is a stagnation of universal flow for the organism of the government that if not treated will cause a systemic decline.
And then we come to the why?
So if we use the analogy of your body, the why may be to support you in learning lessons in how to treat your body with respect, with gratitude, with reverence. When it comes to a relationship it is the same. It is how to treat yourself and your partner or yourself and your family member with respect and gratitude and reverence for the part they play in the relationship.
And when it comes to the government, it is the same.
How is the collective as a whole treating the system?
Is there a respect, a gratitude, and a reverence for all parties?
For all parties
Just as in a relationship, in a family it is both respect and gratitude and reverence for both parties in the relationship, the same is true for this government system. And so while we understand that it seems quite unlikely to see this government structure come into a place of respect and gratitude and reverence for all parties involved. It is the Why behind the stagnation, the shutdown, on a grander scale.
We do not pretend to say that this will be easy. It will get much worse before it gets better.
We are also not advising that you hide your head in the sand and say “Oh well, this is what the universal flow wishes for us and so we will just surrender to the chaos.” For that is also not what we are asking or illustrating. It is about behaving in a way that offers respect, gratitude, and reverence for yourself, for your relationships, and for your society as whole.
We feel your doubt.
That is okay.
You have not experienced a society that has operated as such in this lifetime.
But can you hold the light? Can you hold the vision for one that is wishing to be birthed?
For in that holding of the vision, the possibility exists.
