As the world holds its breath to find out the outcome of this election, we are already seeing voter suppression and intimidation in its finest form. Whatever the outcome, how do we handle winning & being contested in the streets by Republican Militia or losing & protesting that will likely be characterized as rioting? This week, Dr. Venus explores how we can keep our peace and sanity in this post election process. She shares how we can trust the process, let go — knowing we did our part — and not take part in the intimidation tactics of White Supremacy. There is a level of spiritual maturity and growth required to move forward with whoever wins. We are ready to step up, lean in, and trust.

Key Takeaways:

[3:00] We are in a bare-knuckle brawl for our democracy, and while we fight we also need to maintain our peace and spiritual integrity. Although it seems like the whole world is on fire, there are things that are currently comforting to Dr. Venus, that hopefully can bring you solace as well. First, there was a record breaking number of early voters, and more than ever people are stepping up to use their voice to help others.

[7:18] Trust isn't about just blindly giving away your loyalty and your power. Trust is believing in a force bigger than yourself. Trust is also about trusting your bloodline and your ancestors that fought hard and sacrificed so you could be where you are today.

[11:16] White Supremacy feeds on fear. They get off on threatening and intimidating those outside of their group, knowing that this will keep them in power.

[14:00] No matter what the outcome is of the election, know that you are going to be okay. You have your personal power and ability to tap into your spiritual safety when you need it.

[16:12] If you have done your research and voted with who was aligned with your values, the only thing you can do for now is to get prayed up. Whether that means actually praying, meditating, or singing, find a way to activate your faith and trust God day by day. Worry less and pray more.

[30:53] Dr. Venus is confident that no matter what the outcome is, it's in the highest good for us all. It may take a bit of wherewithal to move through it, but the more comfortable we get with the uncomfortable, the more success we have with our lives.

[34:15] God is the authority. You don't need to worship humans and their pettiness.

[35:31] You want to get yourself oriented in your faith, because that is the thing that will ground you throughout all the changes. If you don't do that, you will be eaten alive. Look at this season for us to practice the love we preach when we say we love the Lord. It's not easy, but the more you activate your faith and lean in, the more peaceful you will feel and the more you can light the way for others around you.

• "Don't give your power to politics and to someone else's pettiness."
