Signs of Hope and Unity Post Elections

The Archangels Talk about What to Do and Expect Next

The Archangels have said for some time that it will be the unity of the masses who will change the world, rather than the politicians, and I think that’s what’s beginning to happen, not only in the US, as is suggested by the recent midterm elections, but all over the world.  There are and have been numerous protests all over Europe, in the Middle East, and in the US, among other places, that scream for change and promote unity.  The masses are tired of struggling so hard while the elite run the country and make decisions based on what is best for them, rather than the people.

Recently, the US held mid-term elections, and the party that previously held all the power was routed soundly.  The defeat of the Republicans in the House and Senate speaks volumes about how the masses feel about the government and its actions.  This is not an article about politics or in favor of a particular political party.  There is no clear winner in terms of effectiveness, if you ask me.  However, some of what the newly elected folks have said gives me hope that they’ll be different.  I’m from Texas, so I’m particularly interested in what those politicians are saying, and there have been many overtures of unity on their part, and a focus on joint efforts and working to make life better and easier for the people that sound very promising.  Words are cheap, I know, but what some of them are saying is different from what we’ve heard in a long time.

The definition of tyranny is cruel, unjust, and oppressive government or rule by a single person or group holding absolute power.  An oppressive government is the rule by a dictator, monarch, or regime that exercises unlimited power without legal limits, constitutional restraints, or the consent of the governed.  In my opinion, we’ve seen elements of tyranny in the US , especially over the last two years, as people, including the press, citizens, and others who have objected to what is happening have been blocked, threatened, and charged with crimes for daring to disagree with or publicly defy the President and the administration.  Constitutional rights, especially due process and the rule of law, have been bypassed through the crackdown on immigration, including multiple deaths of both immigrants and US citizens, and the lack of basic decency in the treatment of people in general has been apparent.  I think it’s these things that people rejected, more than the political party who enforced them or allowed them to happen by not intervening, that made people vote the way they did.  It wasn’t the politicians as much as their actions or lack thereof that inspired what Senator Ted Cruz described as an ass kicking against Republicans.

Yes, people associated the party and the people within the party with their problems, but they didn’t vote against specific problems and people as much as behavior and the lack of morals and ethics attached to it.  More than an unwanted war and an inflation ridden economy, people voted against corruption, propaganda, lies, bigotry, manipulation, inequality, persecution, cruelty, abuse of power, entitlement, and a lack of integrity, not to mention the lack of courage to stand up for what was right and wrong.  These are the things the masses voted against, and if they don’t change, they’ll vote for replacements again.  That’s what’s been happening, and that’s what will continue to happen if changes are not made, and the politicians don’t start working for the people they’re supposed to represent instead of trying to hold onto their power and privilege and line their own pockets.

It is very evident to me that the people have woken up and are seeing things more clearly.  The politicians did the same things they’ve done for a long time to try to maintain their power before the elections.  They lied, they promoted propaganda designed to instill fear and anger and division among the people, they relied on bigotry and scapegoats and dire warnings of what would happen if they didn’t vote their way, and the result was not what they were expecting.  These tactics, which have been highly successful in the past, didn’t work this time.  People refused to be manipulated.  They didn’t buy what they were selling.  They were not swayed or controlled.

I am in no way suggesting that the Democrats have done a better job.  They focused on blaming the Republicans for all the problems in the country, and while that may be partially true, it doesn’t begin to tell the whole story.  The Republicans would not have had as much power as they did before the elections if the Democrats had done a better job when they were in power.  Neither party ran on their own merits, because neither party has done much to help the people.  I just hope the Democrats realize that, unless they do a better job, they’ll be ousted next time, also.  The people are tired of the status quo, and they’re tired of carrying all the burdens and struggling so terribly while the people in the top tiers profit from their efforts and hardships.

The people have had enough.  Frankly, what I’d like to see is the right and ability to put all controversial laws and actions to a public vote in each state, and only about half the states in the US offer this option.  That’s why so many decisions and laws made in Congress at both the state and federal levels do not reflect the will of the people.  This has been proven time after time in states that do offer that option and federal and state laws have been overturned at the state level, such as reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights.

Despite all the political content of this article, it’s not meant to be about politics, believe it or not.  It’s meant to be about hope for change and unity, which is my take on the election results.  Honestly, I’m not impressed with either political party.  I’m registered as an independent.  The most hopeful thing to me with regard to the elections is that people united for change more than for a particular party, and that they rejected the lack of ethics and integrity which have taken place.

I asked the Archangels what we might expect with the exchange of power coming up.  I will state clearly that the Archangels never take sides, and they are never against ANY person, regardless of their actions and history.  They are the first to remind us that everything that happens has a higher purpose, and that grace and compassion should be offered to all people, regardless of what they have or have not done.  They don’t tell us how to vote or tell us what to do, and they don’t tell us what’s going to happen in the future except in very general terms, as the future is never set in stone and is subject to the free will of people.  Still, I asked for some input and guidance as we move forward, and their response follows.

Question:  There’s a new power dynamic in US politics due to the recent elections.  Can you tell us what to expect or how to prepare for this, and what we can do to promote fairness, integrity, and changes that lead to solutions to the problems we currently face?

Answer:

The changes needed go far beyond politics, and as we have said for a long time and through numerous elections, the changes will not come from the politicians, but from the people.  This is what happened during the elections.  You are correct, the people did not vote for those who were running for office as much as against what the people who were already in office did and did not do.  The people are desperate for change, and they are beginning to see that the only way to bring that change about is through unity.

You are also correct to suggest that voters voted less for or against the issues as they did against the lack of integrity, honesty, and ethics that have been lacking in politics.  It is not the rise in numbers of voters and how they voted that caused the uproar and drastic change in power as much as the rise in individual and collective consciousness taking place.  This is why we beseech you to focus on similarities in what you want, rather than differences of opinion in how to get it.  If you can come together as a people on what is and is not acceptable, what you will and will not tolerate, you can gain ground and find solutions.  You may not always agree on how to go about finding these solutions, but you can agree on what they can and cannot include.  For example, there are various ideas on how to reform immigration, but most would agree that inhumane treatment of people, immigrants and citizens alike, is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

As far as what you can expect when power is exchanged in government, it is doubtful that there will be lasting peace as power changes hands.  Those still in power will employ every option available to them to maintain that power and to hide their misuse and abuse of power, their miscarriages of justice, their unethical actions for personal gain, and their actions that have caused harm to so many others.  Regardless of how much they try to keep their secrets, many truths will be revealed.  Then, the focus will shift from hiding the truth and their actions to avoiding accountability.

This will not make for a smooth transition or the application of work that will benefit the people.  It will likely be a frantic power grab, coverup, and contest of wills that will not end until people unite and demand change, accountability, and are clear on what they do and do not want to happen.  You will likely see a shift from party affiliation to rejection of both parties, depending on what is discovered and how it is dealt with, and any favor or disfavor from the people will be aimed more towards individuals, rather than political affiliation.  This is a step in the right direction, because when you hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of who they are or what group they belong to, it is a clear message against not only the culprit, but against the actions themselves, which will dissuade others from repeating them.  These revelations in wrong doing and the accountability placed on those who practiced them will serve as warnings for anyone who wishes to repeat them in the future.

The people must join forces and stand together for what is right and what is wrong.  As we stated earlier, there is much difference of opinion about what should be done to improve the lives of the people, but there is widespread agreement about what is not acceptable, regardless of the goal being sought.  Again, we will go back to the example of immigration reform.  Most people want safe borders that are monitored, that prevent the entry of criminals and terrorists.  However, the methods that have been employed in the name of achieving that goal were often horrific and inexcusable, and most people did not accept or approve of them, so much so that they voted differently.

While we are pleased to see unity form and grow among the masses, we would again remind you that violence is neither needed nor effective in gaining the kind of change that is needed in the world.  Peaceful protest is so much more effective than violence.  Be wary as you join forces, because those in power will work diligently not only to derail your efforts at unity, but to discredit the unity itself.  Do not be tripped into violence, which is often instigated by those who wish to prevent unity.  This is a common tactic that you should be aware of and avoid.  Allow a higher form of emotional energy to support unity, rather than a confrontational and angry energy that leads to violence.  Reject efforts to manipulate you using fear, anger, and other emotional means.  Focus on positive change rather than on the negative aspects that require this change you seek.  It is true that violence gains attention, but it is not productive or persuasive attention.  Be steadfast and determined, but do not be vindictive or spiteful.  Be for, rather than against.

There are newly appointed political leaders who are willing to try to promote changes that will help the people, but they will be challenged in doing so.  Most importantly, they cannot be effective without the continuing support of the masses.  So, although the elections are over, your work is not done.  Be clear about what you want and do not want, and find common ground on which to stand, rather than fighting against each other.  Those in power will continue to try to divide you, but it is getting harder and harder to do so, not because of what they are doing, but because you are no longer so easy to manipulate and control.  This is due to the rise in consciousness taking place all over the world. More and more, people are taking exception to wrongdoing that does not only affect them personally, but that they witness affecting others.  This is why the bigotry and persecution of others, including identified scapegoats, no longer hold the power over the majority of people as they once did.  Stand together against tyranny, no matter the target.  We, also, will stand with you.

Final Thoughts

Some of the newly elected officials have offered some hopeful ideas on how to make things better, and some are already planning actions towards that end.  Rather than focusing on blaming others for the state we’re in, I hear a lot of ideas on how to make things better and an emphasis on moving forward, together, rather than reinforcing party lines and attacking others.  I hope the next time elections come around, politicians are willing and able to run for office based on their merits, rather than things like blame, bigotry, emotional manipulation, etc.  The rampant use of these negative tactics, rather than on what was accomplished, is a reflection of the lack of efforts and results by either party that has taken place for quite some time.  Wouldn’t it be great to hear about all the good things that have been done, rather than the bad things?  We’ll see, won’t we?

The intention for Friday Night Meditation with the Archangels for the month of November is Clarity.  We can all use more clarity, not only in politics, but in how we should move forward in all aspects of life.  Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us from wherever you are, whenever you’re available to offer loving thoughts, prayers, and energy of Clarity for everyone who needs it, including ourselves.  Just call out to the Archangels, and they’ll hear you and do the rest.

I hope your weekend is filled with joy, hope, love, and peace.  If you’re running low in any of those areas, I hope you’ll go out and do something that replenishes them and you.

Blessings, all.
