Dualism. Oh, the Angst.

I woke up with some feelings today, people. Feelings that were spurred by some recent FaceBook posts that have entered my "wall". 

These are posts that seem self-righteous to me. I am right, you are wrong. Women rule, Men drool, etc. "It's not my job to educate you on feminism."

Yikes. We are hitting nerves all over the place these days. And I feel like we are highlighting, more and more, our separateness, when in reality, we are interconnected.

Ever since last election, I have been feeling heightened energies of duality in the air. All this Us versus Them stuff.  And I feel it myself. I find it hard to seek common ground when I'm met with such opposition, such difference in opinion or perspective from my own. I do have a sense that I am "right" or that my views are somehow more educated, more evolved, more... well, more. Better.

I think that's why these recent posts are irking me so much. They are posted by people who I share political and spiritual leanings with. These are my people. Or are they? Because if I am really working towards the reality I want, all people are my people. Even the ones I don't like. Maybe especially the ones I don't like. 

So today, I invite you to notice. Are you activated (either angered, rattled, or giving an energetic "Hell ya!") by something you come into contact today? OK, so you are activated. Stirred.

What is it moving you to do?

​Move forward. With compassion. Let me know how it goes.
