021: spiritually facing politics
How did we get here? What is going on? I recorded this episode a day before the most contentious presidential election in anyone's recent memory. I decided to do this episode for two reasons. First, because I know we are all hungry for coping strategies- the air is filled with tension and division and it does not feel good. Second, because it's time we addressed the root problem. This shit-show of a political scene, all of the hate, and dysfunction we are seeing right now are all symptoms. They are not the problem. We want to point to a person, a party, a policy and say, "There! That is the problem. That is what is to blame." And then create Team Them and Team Us, and fight against each other. That would be easy. It's what we've always done. But where has that lead?
This episode will challenge you. It's not the easy way out. It's not spiritually bypassing. In this episode, I explain that the root problem that has lead to all of the chaos in our world is this false sense of separateness that has become our reality. We don't know our neighbors, we hate people who we perceive to be different, we are disconnected from the Earth, and this reality is a huge deviance from our Truth. The most basic, fundamental spiritual Truth is oneness. We are all one.
I introduced the term, Tat Tvam Asi, which in Sanskrit translates to "thou art that" or "I am that too". It's time we flipped the lens. As Lion, as Leaders, as people who want to live aligned, authentic, alive, wild, and free, it is our job to own that what we see in the world exists somewhere in us too. We have to practice radical compassion and love - especially for those we disagree with.
This week is going to be hard. I am offering free coaching calls if anyone needs extra support. You can reach out to me on my website at www.paigeoxley.com, Facebook at www.facebook.com/poxleyyy, or Instagram at www.instagram.com/paige.oxley.
If this episode lit something in you, I would be honored if you would SUBSCRIBE, leave us a rating, share, and tune in weekly for some light and insights on your path to creating a life that actually lights YOU up!
