Spiritual Teachers… the Trumps, Clintons, Abbotts & Turnbulls of this world.

I know I am not alone when I say this… but wasn’t the weekends SUPERMOON energy just huge !

The thing I noticed the most were that emotions were running oh so high and peoples stories, opinions, hurts, anger & deep seated wounds were really being triggered, big time. Let me give you an example…

On the eve of the Full Moon, I posted on Facebook my heartfelt support for women.  I had just watched a video by Michelle Obama that spoke to my heart and addressed an issue that runs deep and affects women (and for that matter men also) the world over.   I wasn’t commenting on politics (albeit I can see there was an agenda behind Michelle’s speech), or giving my opinion regarding whether Trump or Clinton would make the best president… I was purely commenting on the subject at hand – the brutal objectification, sexual predation & vilification of women.

Here is what I wrote (plus the video too in case you are interested)..

Facebook – 15 October 2016 – Simone M. Matthews
‘This subject is way beyond the bounds of politics, this subject speaks deeply to the heart of every women, our collective sisterhood. EVERYONE of us has a right to feel safe, to choose who touches our bodies and to be treated with respect. We are NOT mere chattels or play things at the beck-n-call of men (or another women for that matter). If ANY person, let alone a person in a place of authority can pass off lurid, putrid & downright horrific treatment of women as merely ‘locker room banter’ then where is our society headed. As people, as a race of world citizens, we must uphold values that reflect kindness, respect & compassion of ALL people. Really, we have to ask ourselves isn’t this our true nature ? People aren’t born hating… discrimination & denying the rights of women is something that has been taught from a society that chooses fear instead of love. It is up to us to say ‘enough is enough’… if we stay silent, we just perpetuate this fear, this repulsive behaviour and essentially we are condoning this behavior as being ok for future generations, for our children, for our girls. I have a ‘just turned 15 year old daughter’ who is learning about her body, human rights and who she is as a young women in this world… I have a responsibility to not sit back and be silent. As I said above, this is NOT about politics this is about being a voice of change.’

After making the above post… what ensued was a public slinging match… which I chose to bow out of… and instead I went to the beach to try and make some sense of all of this… to try and find and see the LOVE in all of the hatred, anger & hurt.

Its not your job to transform the world for others…

I went to the beach and I cried.  You know that deep, blubbering… really messy crying… to quote Ella Fitzgerald ‘I cried a river over you’.

As this ocean of tears flowed through me… I was feeling a sense of loss, a sense of deepest shame and a hurt that cut to the core of my beingness… a piercing ache that left me feeling so disillusioned with people.

Then in that moment, as I asked for a deeper understanding (beyond my ego woundings) the following words echoed into my consciousness from a post that I had read during the week:

As you focus on those things that make you shine bright
you will align with who you really are & the whole world
will begin to transform before your very eyes.
It’s not your job to transform the world for others,
but it is your job to transform it for YOU.

-Abraham Hicks

And in that moment, suddenly everything made sense.

Align with your own expansion

Pick up any newspaper, switch on the TV or surf the web and you will find a world of people all fighting against each other… all believing their opinion is right and everyone else is wrong.

Everyone takes a side and then believes their side is better, more righteous and the ONLY belief that is correct… and people put ALL of their energy in trying to convince or convert others to think, feel or be the same.   In order to service the ego and ensure / convince themselves that we are right, many people then succumb to trolling, shaming, insulting and slinging vile comments to those that hold a differing belief.  Isn’t that why we have wars… ‘I am right & you are wrong?”

What is missed however, in this hurtful discourse, is that diversity…. yes DIVERSITY of belief is a catalyst of EVOLUTION.

When someones opinion/belief/stance on a topic differs to your own, we are afforded the opportunity to look deep within ourselves and are gifted a moment to become very clear on our own opinions/beliefs and why we have these beliefs (eg are they just imprinted stories, societal memes, or are they our divine truths).  It is this CLARITY that enables us to align with our own expansion… and in so doing the world transforms before our very eyes.

I am not saying we should just sit back and not take action (particularly on the topic of equality of women), but what I am saying is that DIVERSITY of belief is the catalyst of IN-SPIRIT or INSPIRED Action.   We move beyond having to fight against the fear and the stories of others (only the ego wants to prove you are right) and instead we focus on the LIGHT of LOVE… and our world, our individual experiences within the world begin to change.

When we transcend the need to fight against each other, we begin to align our awareness with the field of infinite potentiality.  We open our hearts through kindness, our minds align with infinite solutions and our everyday in-spirit actions create miracles.

To quote Wayne Dyer, ‘When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.’

It is your job to transform it for YOU

To be honest, this is a big one… ‘it is your job to transform it for YOU’.

As a human… I do sometimes drop into the egoic need to be a saviour and make things right for everyone.   It really riles me to see people abused, to see minority groups being treated unfairly, complete disregard to the environment (eg our Reef is dying here in Australia) and to experience the oppression of women in my community and in the world at large.

But that is just the human side of me that feels small, that feels deflated at times and feels like change is such an up-hill battle. I have (and I must admit am still learning) to LOVE that side of me.  For that human side of me also creates contrast and becomes a powerful catalyst of change.  Each and everyone of us, from a place of free-will and soulful choice…has the ability to CHOOSE not to be limited by our perceived human shortcomings, but rather choose vulnerability as a core value that inspires us to learn, grow & evolve into the bestest version of our selves.

The infinite side of me, the REAL me, the eternal LOVE & LIGHT that transcends my human story simply THRIVES in such a diverse world full of polarised opinions.  The Trumps, the Clintons, the Abbotts & the Turnbulls of this world offer me the opportunity to become very clear about who I am, what my heart-n-soul wishes to expresses and what I choose to share with the world THROUGH ME.

You could say… that the Trumps, Clintons, Abbotts & Turnbulls of this world are great Spiritual Teachers, as they serve us in bringing clarity through contrast of what we do/do not wish to be within our lives.

These world stage players help us move beyond the illusion of separation and serve as the catalyst of TRANSFORMATION… and this juxtaposition we experience inspires us to BE the CHANGE.

On a personal level, when I live from this place of alignment with Source, my HEART expands, my ‘world’ becomes a direct reflection of my thoughts/actions/emotions… and my experiences as a human on this planet are transformed through the power of LOVE.

Happy Monday beautiful friends… and may your week we transformed in miraculous ways.
