This is so astute. I half-jokingly texted to a friend the other day that "maybe the CIA is actually >us< 😱"

Way back when George W. Bush first started all his chicanery in the wake of 9/11, it occurred to me that, without us, there is no George Bush. We literally created him. In so many of the seemingly tiny decisions that make up our individual hand in reality, all of us together created the hierarchy that allowed a person like that to rise in power. Without us all buying-in, no one gets there.

Moreover, we project our own power-mad bloodthirst onto so-called "leaders," who are merely vessels for all the collective energy that each of us would rather deny in ourselves. And they don't have power over us -- we have power over >them<. By fixing them in the role of the archetype that we abstain from acting-out on our own. So-called "leaders," in fact, pay a hefty spiritual price for the supposed "power" they acquire. Is it any wonder that they get devoured by that power? That's because they're living-out the sum total accumulation of millions of other people's un-claimed shadows. That's a lot to handle. And I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I was having a moment recently where the image of a very well-known horror film killer was getting under my skin, and then it came to me: "There is nothing that is not ALL of us." And I wasn't frightened anymore, because I saw the horror-film killer as a projection of something that I myself contain along with everyone else.

All of these people looking for controllers... illuminati, occult death cults who perform abuse rituals, rapacious extraterrestrials, nefarious government agencies, etc... It's not necessarily that those people and institutions don't exist, it's that we animate them by refusing to claim the aspects of them that are our own to claim.

“And if the majority of the Human Collective genuinely believes (even unconsciously!) that something will happen, then it will.”

This is exactly why everyone should try and focus on the potential good that can happen under Trump rather than believing in all the negative things put out by the media prior to the election. It’s our choice
