America Draws the (Trump) Tower Card

Nobody wants to see the Tower card come up in a tarot reading, but there are times when it is the only thing that can come when there is a dire need for change and we will not get up off our asses and do what is necessary to bring it about.  For those of us who read the universe as a way of life, there was no doubt that this country had it coming but it is painfully plain that a large portion of the American populace (and perhaps the world) did not see the Tower building up to explode. 

So many revelations came out of the weeks and months prior to the final election on November 8.  Many of them were given to us by Julian Assange (God bless him!) and WikiLeaks.  There are those who do not want to know the extent of how devious and underhanded some people and institutions are but they play a fools game by wanting to remain ignorant, or at least wanting the American people to remain so.  Thank you, Julian, for allowing us to see, some of the truth.  It pains me greatly that WikiLeaks is always dangerously close to the chopping block by what they do.  I wonder if we would ever know the extent of how low those in power can go if not for a few brave souls who risk it all and give up so much to reveal what others would keep covered until their death to prevent us from knowing what is really going on.  The universe does provide a great many things to help us on our journeys, individually and collectively if we are capable of paying attention to something other than egotistical pursuits.  We did have help seeing the Democratic side of the Tower build up, but Donald Trump was more than willing to expose his own contributions freely to the ways in which America is in the outhouse.  The reveal was painful to see and hear but it is a fact that we were deluding ourselves if we really thought that humanity was doing better than his speech and behavior revealed to us.

I am not here today to trash talk Trump or Clinton.  Others are doing an excellent job of that without my help.  On the contrary, I am extremely grateful to both of them for letting us know how truly bad off we are because there would never be any attempt to fix these incredible problems that we have if they had not been displayed for us in living color.

The divisions in belief in America have finally been recognized and are being analyzed to death at the moment but it was desperately needed.  It remains to be seen if we are the kind of people who will be able to pick up the shattered pieces of the Tower that has exploded all to hell in front of our faces and rebuild something from it that will be a positive for all.  It has to start with the individual, though.  Individual responsibility is truly the only way that there can ever be change that will help us come together and put those positives that we learn in our soul to beneficial use.  Donald Trump may be the person that we have elected to lead the country but it is no secret now that no matter what he says he is not in possession of solutions that will make a better world.  We just had to know what his contribution to the rest of the Tower reading was going to challenge us with. It is up to us to understand that it took a very large percentage of people to get us where we are right now and our president-elect is only a part of the equation in fixing a society that has its head screwed on backwards when it comes to making a world that will peacefully accommodate all of the diverse people and attitudes that make up our country.  Once again, it will be a call to the past to discover our future.  We have to travel back to the time when we didn’t feel this much hate and intolerance if we ever hope to rid ourselves of it.  It may look like an impossible task, and for some, it probably is, but it doesn’t take an Einstein to recognize that we are in serious trouble as a species and our names now appear on the endangered list.  If we continue to carry the kind of intolerance and vicious attitudes toward others that we have been shown exists not just in the everyday people of this nation but all the way to the top of the ruling class, it is apparent that those who tell us that they are fit to lead are definitely not, and it is up to the rest of us to show to everyone that we got the Tower’s message and are ready to redirect our individual energies toward a positive, even if those who will represent us may not have that capability at present without being shown a better way.   However we feel about the outcome of the election it will be necessary to set aside the negatives in order to find positives if we truly want them.
