I was reluctant to involve myself in social media for years because the world I see depicted in it is often sordid and trivial.  I hate the top ten lists I see on every website that show pictures of sad people … I mean fat people and ugly people and people who’ve been humiliated or defeated but I don’t even want to talk about those qualities because it’s cruel.  So let’s just say that the world of the web disgusts me sometimes and I think people who write for websites, especially entertainment websites, are disgusting morons as well.  I just didn’t want to be a part of the river of filth. 

Now I can see however that the world of spirit has led me to start blogging and posting so I can develop my self-awareness because I can see, after having been immersed in social media for weeks now, that this constant flurry of memes is really determining huge aspects of identity in the 21st century.  It really is disgusting and sordid and empty, but it’s all we’re going to get.

So in one sense I’m catching up with the world and in another I’m using what I’m learning to leave this world behind. 

Tonight I feel pretty good but I have so many ideas spinning through my mind I don’t want to make the effort to crystallize them.  I’ve got a bunch of ideas for writing but they’re all too big to start on.

I guess the election’s the biggest one.  I’m going to do an extensive piece on Trump, I think.  I have to dig into his life to understand both why a soul would incarnate as such a person and why spirit guides would describe this world where he is incarnated as “cocreative” and “free”. To me it seems the relentless shallowness of trump and his ilk poisons the very concept of creation. 

In a way I gave up on traditional America when I watched the Bush administration date-rape us all into the Gulf War.  I knew then that the rank and file of America weren’t intelligent enough to live up to the responsibilities of democracy, that it was in fact easier to lead the U.S. into evil than it was to lead it to the light.  Trump’s candidacy is a desperate grab at lost glory the country doesn’t really deserve any more.  Ultimately it doesn’t matter but I wonder at all the saccharine spirit guides and channels and social-media messengers out there telling us we’re “cocreating” when really we’re under the thumb of this callow and hapless emptiness.  Sometimes I wonder why any spirit would want to be guiding this dirty and futureless mob at all.
