Rage and the Politics of Power

The United States of America is sitting on the edge of the precipice of destruction, with a government that no longer protects, uplifts and guides the morality, well-being and development of its people, but has turned in on itself and become a cancerous and erosive force of unconscious rage, shame and fear destroying itself and the country from within.

We hear all the time, “I don’t understand.” This suggests there is insufficient awareness of these unconscious forces within each of us, ourselves, which can affect outcomes in our personal lives.

I also hear, “I feel helpless, there is nothing I can do.” This statement again reflects the unawareness of self as an integral part of a sick body. If one cell can maintain integrity in a sick body, it has the power to heal the body. This is our responsibility – to ourselves and to our community and to our nation.

Self-Awareness – Self Responsibility – Self Love

And to quote Obama – “Yes we can.” The backlash to his presidency as a Black man is “No, you can’t.” This is truly a spiritual war that rages within each of us.

Let’s get aware together and fulfill the vision of hope that Obama gave us – individually and collectively.
