What I am led to ponder while watching all of this unfold is not the shadow I see in Palin and McCain, but the collective shadow they represent that is part of this developing phenomenon that might be best described as the externalization of the hierarchy or maybe the externalization of positive and negative polarities during a time of global transition.  What we see in Sarah Palin is in each of us.  Without understanding that, we are destined to remain bound in an us v. them illusion that keeps us from meeting all aspects of ourselves, whereby, in so doing, we come to know the One Infinite Creator much better by meeting and understanding Sarah Palin!  What a trip!!!!

One can choose to ignore this truth, but one cannot move past one's pet illusion without surrendering to what is true, that all things seen and experienced, no matter how we may wish to take a position for or against, are very much a viable part of the whole that is the One Infinite Creator.  Sarah Palin (as much as I find it so difficult to listen to her BS!) provides us with a wonderful opportunity to meet aspects of ourselves that we may be quite uncomfortable with.  If we were really over it and beyond (like so many of us would like to believe) than we would not have adverse reactions to John and Sarah's blatantly obvious "winking" and "my friends" BS nonsense.  The fact that it still bothers us indicates we have work to do, just as a painful wound on the physical body directs us to address and dress the problem to keep it from getting worse or infected.

Sarah Palin is an utterly laughable and so poor excuse for the "seductress".  The strangeness for me lies not in her behavior, but the blind acceptance of her BS by so many!  Although it is not essential for me to understand this phenomenon, it has me intently and continually curious on steroids...

My goal for now is to allow myself to hate them one moment and then seeing myself come to their aid at a time when they were broken and needed a friend.  It is not hard to imagine and the exercise is so good for personal development of golden light balance that leads so well in preparation for the green ray heart chakra 4th density experience that is next on the agenda for many who have incarnated in specifically for this amazing time on planet Earth.

Sarah Palin is part of me and you and is one more ongoing expression of Unity Creator in all its many forms, in this 3rd density case, being expressions of positive STO polarity and negative STS polarity.  There is no evil or bad or wrong, only choices to be made, honest choices honestly and soberly representing one's true Higher Self, whether those choices be positive polarity or negative polarity.  With this in mind, another curious question comes to mind - is John McCain and Sarah Palin truly honoring their true desires of their Higher Selves???  What I need to realize is, that is not my question to answer, but theirs and theirs alone, as it is their free will inviolate right to journey the way they wish and be as confused or not confused as they wish for as long as they wish.  For me to judge them is to so futiley entangle myself in someone else's inherently personal trip, and abandon my own progress in the process.  As tempting as that is at times, that is insanity nevertheless!  It is to judge God/Creator.  It is to, thereby, since I am, at my very core, Creator also, incorrectly judge myself, and that also is insanity.  Conclusion:  any form of judgment, no matter how hard one may try to rationalize its legitimacy, is utterly insane.

I do not say all of this to say I have overcome these temptations, only to say that I am well aware of the real seductress, the temptation to find fault in the One Infinite Creator when I choose to perceive any other life form as unworthy.  I know how hard that is to swallow!  I choke on it daily!!  But I am slowly but surely being liberated by my intent willingness to understand these amazing characteristics of inviolate Unity.  The other day I told my best friend and religiously-avid athiest buddy that he was the willing expression of the Creator denying the existence of the One Infinite Creator.  Even he got a big kick out of that!!!!!  We all have every right to our own particular brand of confusion, for confusion is much like free will in that it is our chosen veil from our true higher Self that is constantly reaching back to help us in a timeless fashion that could only make our heads spin for trying to describe it.  We are not ever victims of the veil we have chosen to hide behind until we are ready to see again.  We are co-creators with fully functioning response-ability.  Even our moments of procrastination are proactive choices.  We are really that powerful!!!  Absolutely nothing is happening to us without our permission!  That is another one that is very hard to swallow..., but our realization of that eternal fact reactivates our inherent power awaiting our free will agreement with reality...

Get creative in ways that allow you to see the Creator in everything, for that is what you are, and are really seeing after removing the proactively chosen blinders of pet perception and judgment....

As a youth of 17, and very deeply involved in a redical fundamenalist church, I though that I was surrounded and imbued with the grace and blessings of a god who demanded a judgmental and separtist frame of mind. I was one of those who had the only Truth and all others were condemned to eternal damnation.  It was insiduously instilled into the minds of this very large youth group I was a member of that WE were the ones who would be raptured when Jesus Returned In The Clouds To Gather Up His Chosen! 

We, all of us, were very deeply brainwashed and encouraged to take this divideded and separated choice of elitism and consider every one else as "lost".  We were encouraged to go out to the streets and byways and parks to hand out "Gospel Tracts" telling everyone else that they were indeed lost.  And that the only way they could be found is to come to "Jesus".

I am discouraged that most of the evangelical churches are still teaching/preaching this doctrine of separationalism.  I go to a gym in the biggest baptist church in Dallas. Not because I am baptist but because they have the best value for a gym downtown.  My friends at the gym are all under the spell of this "separationalism".  I deal with it by responding always in love and silent understanding of where they are coming from.

I have research Sarah Palins religeous background and was agast at finding out that she is involved in probably the most insidious form of fundamentalist beliefs.  Her chosen group of believers are of the Dominionist leaning.  IE.  They dream and work for a theocracitic form of government led by a religeous leader and with laws based on biblical standards. PERIOD!  

I find this extremely repulsive, when I view it from a 3rd density mind and without considering that all is one.  But I can understand where she is coming from as I was there at a time in my life.  I opted out after one year in Bob Jones University, the bastion of this type of doctrine and teaching.  I know how she feels, that this is the ultimate Truth, and she will martyr herself for her beliefs and go to the extreme to work for the goals of her organization.  Yeah, there is a very large organization out there supporting  the Dominionist doctrine.

On the other hand, I do see her as a creature of our one Infinite Creator, one who has been pulled into the dark polarity of duality and separation.  I send love to her and know that whatever she is saying, doing, winking, she is still One with All That Is.

I read just last night in an early 2008 channeling from Quo through Carla Reuckert where they said that "Everything is the Creator".  This was different from what I have ever read, where it has been said that the Creator was everything.  When you look at it from this different perspective, Everything is the Creator,  it is indeed a change of perspective.  It caused me to spend some great time in meditation and contemplation last night .  I must now look with different eyes at all that is around me, and look at it all with the view to the sacramental. There is nothing which is not sacred.

I leave you in the love and light of our one Infinite Creator,

Berry

I know what you mean. One of the ways my imagination came to my aid the other day on the way while driving home from work is the difference of perception realized by first seeing how I have been viewing others I find distasteful or down right ridiculous, or over-the-top dead wrong on a mission from ignorance, and seeing the same person through the eyes of Unity/Creator, in this case, like seeing two puppies playing and rolling around together and seeing them as so cute and cuddly and am moved to love them so much by what I see. Now imagine that those two puppies were actually rolling around on the floor together in a bit of a stand off concerning differing opinions on some puppie level of pet illusion (pun intended). All I see is how cute they look to me and how much I am moved to adore them!!!!

I truly believe this gives us a small glimpse into how we as extension of Creator, as co-creators, actually see the John McCains and the Sarah Palins and the Carl Roves and the Dick Cheneys. We just have a whole lot of entrenched illusions firmly based in a separatist autonomous form of fault-finding judgment to get through before we can see what we actually see, as per what Creator sees throughout all of Creation.

Another way that helps me understand this seeming contradiction of Unity that appears to be the signature of life on earth in so many ways is the very useful tool that positive and negative polarity is to facilitate dramatically the beauty of inviolate Unity. How in the world would we be aware of how very cool Unity really is without getting a good look at an illusion where it appears to not exist???

With this in mind it is my very inspired intent to continue to try to see all things from the eyes of Unity, assuming that my conclusion of inviolate and unassailable Unity is correct, even while my eyes also remain quite aware of the so obvious temptation to believe otherwise as I watch what appears to be insanity based in separatism and the desire to conquer playing out like some 3D movie. George Carlin had such a good method for this kind of abstract consideration to think outside the box instead of feeling like one is trapped inside the box. He would imagine that he was not even from this planet and would make no judgments, one way or the other, and just watch the play, and then garner great grist for the mill for his ever-developing standup routines. As coarse as he could appear on stage, turns out, according to close friends and family, that Carlin was/is one of the kindest, most generous saintly people those that knew him well had ever met or known in their lives. Catholic church had taught George about what he did not want to be, but it did not strip him of his true kind and generous co-creator nature. I will miss the man from this 3D illusion perspective....

Has anybody seen this article???

At least three times last night, Sarah Palin, the adorable, preposterous vice-presidential candidate, winked at the audience. Had a male candidate with a similar reputation for attractive vapidity made such a brazen attempt to flirt his way into the good graces of the voting public, it would have universally noted, discussed and mocked. Palin, however, has single-handedly so lowered the standards both for female candidates and American political discourse that, with her newfound ability to speak in more-or-less full sentences, she is now deemed to have performed acceptably last night.

By any normal standard, including the ones applied to male presidential candidates of either party, she did not. Early on, she made the astonishing announcement that she had no intentions of actually answering the queries put to her. ‘I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I’m going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also,’ she said.

And so she preceded, with an almost surreal disregard for the subjects she was supposed to be discussing, to unleash fusillades of scripted attack lines, platitudes, lies, gibberish and grating references to her own pseudo-folksy authenticity.

It was an appalling display. The only reason it was not widely described as such is that too many American pundits don’t even try to judge the truth, wisdom or imagine themselves as interpreters of a mythical mass of ‘average Americans’ who they both venerate and despise.

In pronouncing upon a debate, they don’t try and determine whether a candidate’s responses correspond to existing reality, or whether he or she is capable of talking about subjects such as the deregulation of the financial markets or the devolution of the war in Afghanistan. The criteria are far more vaporous. In this case, it was whether Palin could avoid utterly humiliating herself for 90 minutes, and whether urbane commentators would believe that she had connected to a public that they see as ignorant and sentimental. For the Alaska governor, mission accomplished.

There is indeed something mesmerising about Palin, with her manic beaming and fulsome confidence in her own charm. The force of her personality managed to slightly obscure the insulting emptiness of her answers last night. It’s worth reading the transcript of the encounter, where it becomes clearer how bizarre much of what she said was. Here, for example, is how she responded to Biden’s comments about how the middle class has been short-changed during the Bush administration, and how McCain will continue Bush’s policies:

Say it ain’t so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced [sic] your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let’s look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future. You mentioned education, and I’m glad you did. I know education you are passionate about with your wife being a teacher for 30 years, and god bless her. Her reward is in heaven, right? ... My brother, who I think is the best schoolteacher in the year, and here’s a shout-out to all those third graders at Gladys Wood Elementary School, you get extra credit for watching the debate.

Evidently, Palin’s pre-debate handlers judged her incapable of speaking on a fairly wide range of subjects, and so instructed to her to simply disregard que tions that did not invite memorized talking points or cutesy filibustering. They probably told her to play up her spunky average-ness, which she did to the point of shtick - and dishonesty. Asked what her achilles heel is - a question she either didn’t understand or chose to ignore -she started in on how McCain chose her because of her ‘connection to the heartland of America. Being a mom, one very concerned about a son in the war, about a special needs child, about kids heading off to college, how are we going to pay those tuition bills?’

None of Palin’s children, it should be noted, is heading off to college. Her son is on the way to Iraq, and her pregnant 17-year-old daughter is engaged to be married to a high-school dropout and self-described ‘fuckin’ redneck’. Palin is a woman who can’t even tell the truth about the most quotidian and public details of her own life, never mind about matters of major public import. In her only vice-presidential debate, she was shallow, mendacious and phoney. What kind of maverick, after all, keeps harping on what a maverick she is? That her performance was considered anything but a farce doesn’t show how high Palin has risen, but how low we all have sunk.

Does the name Tammy Faye Baker ring a bell.  Or a female version of Jerry Fallwell, or Pat Robertson may suit the bill better.  I may be breaching etiquette here, but if she had her way, she would be behind a pulpit preaching religious intolerance and domination of free will and freedom of choice. 

Ever since I realized who John McCain had chosen for his running mate, and researched her background, that is what came to my mind.  She is an strong centerpiece of the neopente/dominionist movement in her hometown of Wasilla and in Juno as well.  If you aren't aware of what that means Google Dominionist and find out.  You won't like it.

I am sorry.  If I had to I could consider John McCain a minimal option for presidential material, but with Sarah as his VP and possible heir of the White House, there ain't no way.

There, I've said my piece and I stand by it.   Mind you, I still see her as one with All That Is, but this is with the understanding that the Creator encompasses all of everything, Light/Dark, STO/STS, Negative/Positive and all the other polarities we can conceive. Because I send love and light to her and others whom I perceive as negative polarity does not mean that I will blindly walk into their web of deceipt and subserviency.  The Master Jesus said " to be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove".  I rather see Sarah with a red hour glass on her tummy. Beware.

Sorry my friends, this is not my usual sweet natured post, but I have been assaulted by the audacity of this proposal and my anger which is very difficult to arouse has been stimulated. I am spending time neutralizing it with peace, love, light, forgiveness and thanksgiving.

Blessings to all,

Berry

I have written much about how I am trying my darndest to see what the Creator sees so that I can escape my own entrenched illusions by staring at a door called "nothing-ness" that, when correctly approached, opens to everything-ness that is there when I surrender all my beliefs about myself and the world/cosmos, but I could not agree with you more Berry.

"Be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves" is one of my all time favorites, and alludes, when practiced, to the same thing Ra was talking about when it comes to balance. "All things are lawful, but not all things are expedient". Like you said about Paul in another post a while back, he sure knew something about what Ra was/is attempting to convey about the Law of One.

What has always made me so angry about the Dominionists is they base their despotic crock of crap on virtually one verse from Genesis, and, in pathetically proud ignorance, they fail to understand that the Hebrew word meant Stewardship, not the Divine right to do anything they want "'cause da bible sez so, duh!".

Don't know if this will help much, but one of my tactics I use as per Law of One sessions discussing tactics/exercises concerning balance, I imagine, in a fit of "sick up and fed had it up to here enough is enough" rage, I have fatally wounded, let's say, Sarah Palin or GW or Dick, and then I am holding them and comforting them as they lie there dying and coming to their senses in their last moments in this incarnation. To actually do so would be a breach of free will as per Law of One, but to imagine it can be a very good way to let off some steam and conduct a balancing exercise at the same time. Now that's what I call time management!

Personal example of similar frustration that leads to a bit of blowing of the stack: My father in law loves poker and got us started on a weekly regimen of poker back in 2001 when he moved here to grow old and die with family close by. It is to him, what alcohol is to an alcoholic, to the point of being irrepressible and pathologically neurotic. Most of us love the socializing as much, if not more, than the poker, but for him it is a constant drive to try to get as many hands in as possible. He is an only child and behaves like a big kid who calls himself Mr. Wonderful, is blind to his own BS, has had a knife pulled on him twice at poker games in the past as a young man, but seem utterly incapable of chilling. One of his favorite things to do to try to get under people's skin is "slow rolling". That is where you know you have a winning hand on the high or low side, but are not showing your cards until someone else thinks they have won. It is very much frowned upon in professional poker and tournaments and players run the risk of getting a time out penalty for doing it because it is so frustrating to the others. It is the behavior of one who behaves like he or she is better than everyone else, can do what they want, but will tell you in a flat second when they think you are doing something wrong at the poker table. They are hippocrites, i.e., "a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs" or "a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements"

Well, last night I let him have it, and said enough is enough! I told him that we could make a new rule that anyone seeing someone slow rolling can count to three as fast as they want and the perp's hand would be deemed dead and mucked. His response was, "but that wouldn't be right!". What a completely and stubbornly delusional hypocrite with delusions of ruling class grandeur (and all because he has just enough money to make him think he rules, and yet he would be utterly helpless if the system he trusts went down because he cannot even turn a screw with a screwdriver - literally!!)!

The reason I mention this is because there are many now in America who think they are liberals and democrats and think they believe in the democratic process in the abstract, but when it comes to how they really think, how it comes out in their day to day behavior without a camera watching them, they prove by their very behavior and deeds that they are hypocrites and are fundamentally no better than the nauseating expression of one Sarah Palin! It has been my lifelong experience to find that there is a little Sarah Palin crawling around in each of us, and given the right moment, rears its ugly head, and then is quickly self-rationalized away to not be "nearly as bad" as that other guy or girl.

It is hard enough watching the world's ruling class produce these ignorant Palins of the world and prop them up for the paid for whore pundits to approve of and adore, but when I find this same "ruling class" "one set of rules for me and another for you" behavior this close to home, it tempts me so severely to just friggin' lose it!!! I say all of this to let you know in the most emphatic terms dearest brother that I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!!!!

Love/Light, Chris

I have by now, no, before I slept last night, gone throught the healing process and have found the middle path of peace and detachement.  So today I can read and appreciate others comments on this issue.  I just finished reading a short essay by Dave Lindorf, entitled "Why I am Voting For Barak Obama".  When I read the last two paragraphs, I thought of my post here last night, and felt that I must  copy it here.  So here is what someone else felt about Ms. Palin which says everything I was thinking last night only better.

And that brings me to the final reason I am voting for Obama. As crazy as John McCain clearly is, with his default setting on war as a solution for all problems, this sickly and possibly terminally ill old man has chosen to have a certifiable right-wing, closed-minded, bigoted and stunningly ignorant religious zealot as his back-up. Sarah Palin, as vice president, would in all probability end up becoming president during a McCain first term.

This country and the world simply cannot risk having as the leader of America an end-of-times believer at this critical moment. It's not just the polar bears and the wolves in Alaska who would suffer under a Palin presidency. It would be all life on earth.

I honestly had to chuckle under my breath with the phrase "end-of-times believer"  as little does this individual know that in this case Sarah is only slightly off base.  She just has a very Piscean view of how it is going to transpire.

Chris, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the angry outburst that I displayed last night. As you say, sometimes it is better to spew it out than hold it in and become ill with it while working on internal healing.

Love and light to all,

Berry

When I read this I couldn't resist adding it to this thread. It provides some local insight into the Republican running mate.

That Sarah Palin Is One Unreal Alaskan

Did you happen to catch the Wasilla segment on Jon Stewart Tuesday???

One of Stewart's mock roving reporters (actually went up there this time!) interviewed the current mayor of Wasilla and several of it's inhabitants (I am reluctant to use the term "residents" or "town folk" after seeing them and hearing them speak).  The mayor was initially asked, point blank, "Do you think being mayor of Wasilla is enough preparation for the nomination for VP?", and the current woman holding that office said, without blinking, "oh yes, I do!"

And then the question was asked, "So what is it that the mayor of Wasilla does?", followed by a blank stare that garnered a follow up question to kill the dead air space, "Do you do anything with the Police or Fire Department?, followed by more blank stare dead air, "Anything with any civil service in Wasilla?", followed by, "Well, we have a 10AM meeting on Tuesday mornings, and on Thursday I sign all of the checks for the city workers in all departments.

There it was, the experience that prepares one for higher office, a once a week meeting and some check signing....

I still feel like I am watching a bizarre Kurt Vonnegut Jr. sitcom and someone is, any day now, gonna come and out it by saying, "Gotcha!"  "Sucker!!!!"

Love/Light, Chris
