I am Trump. I am Clinton

The question arises.  Unless one is a Zen monk or a hermit in a cave, is there any possibility for the rest of the human race to achieve oneness and enlightenment in this most chaotic of times.

The concrete jungle now has become home for most of the human race and for those who intuitively feel that there is a far better way to live, is there any possibility for us to lift ourselves like the proverbial lotus from the mud of of heavily commercialized and polluted earthly existence and start making sense of our lives.

If one reads the papers and switch on the TV, there is ONLY "bad" news. Wars, chaos, famines, earthquakes, religious intolerance and climate change.  Is there any good news?

Trump and Clinton were the best the Republicans and Democrats could offer Americans in the way of  a new American President. Both flawed and maligned, it is a wonder, how any one of them can be elected to rule a country.

In the theory and practice of oneness and enlightenment, one is asked to look at Trump or Clinton as perfect. How is that possible, one asks?

Unknowingly, Trump and Clinton have offered themselves as the tools of our education in oneness and enlightenment. And therefore we have to express our deep gratitude to both of them for allowing themselves to be the subject of our study and growth.

In oneness practice, we are asked to look at everyone and then have a mental practice of saying, "I AM YOU". Now, if you don't like Trump or Clinton, it is going to be difficult to say, I AM YOU.

If you understand this mental practice, it is not about Trump or Hillary.  It is about YOU and ME.

If we want to experience perfection and wholeness in our lives, then we have to "see" perfection" all around us.  The more we attune ourselves to seeing perfection, the more we will experience perfection and wholeness in our personal lives.

I will quote writer Barbara Marciniak. She wrote, if you do not imprint your version of consciousness on the planet, someone else will do it for you and it will not be perfect.  The definition of imprinting means - setting your intentions on what creates your own reality.



We need to consistently and daily imprint our intentions for perfection so that eventually with practice, perfection and wholeness becomes our daily experience.

That means keeping at a distance and switching off news about disasters and chaos and not letting these events dictate to you, your personal experience. Or else you will be sucked into subconscious intentions which allow disaster and chaos into your personal experience.

When you internalise and acknowledge that we are all interconnected to one another - the last thing we want to do is to inflict pain and suffering on each other.

So the idea is, to "inflict loving kindness" rather than pain and suffering - that's actually a great T-shirt idea. Walk around wearing a T-shirt that says "I am going to inflict loving kindness on you." Or something similar but shorter and more snappy! Like "loving kindness brudder". Since it is the males that go around kicking each other's ass.

That should raise some eyebrows.

When we begin to change ourselves to become kinder humans - firstly by becoming kinder to ourselves and then to everyone else and then to our environment and to all sentient life that shares that environment with us - that ripple of loving kindness then goes out to everyone else.

Our kindness becomes inclusive and not exclusive. We include everyone in our circle of kindness - regardless of race, religion, gender or ethnicity.  Most of the times, this happens when everyone is devastated by a natural disaster. That's when everyone pitches in to help each other. 

Someone asked me, "Andrew, does the sun stop shining its rays on anyone."  I said, "No, the sun shines on everyone, regardless, It doesn't discriminate or judge anyone.  It just shines."

I had a conversation with a man who came for sound therapy at Scientific Sound Asia in Petaling Jaya a few days ago. Anne Huxtable had a sound therapy session with him and after that suggested a session with me.  As we started to talk, I asked him about his religion and belief systems.  He said, "I don't have a religion.  I am everything."  I looked at him, dumbfounded.

He had become like the sun. He shines on everyone. Regardless.
