M ost of us acr oss the spir itual and political spectr um w ould no doubt agr ee that w hen w e aw oke the m or ning Novem ber 9, 2016, the w or ld had under gone an unpr ecedented change due to a pr ocess called ?election.? In tr uth, how ever , it did not change at all, for the law s gover ning the Univer se r em ained in place just as they w er e w hen w e w ent to bed the night befor e, the night after , and w ill ad infinitum? to infinity. But ther e is som ething that has changed: our outer sense of the w or ld, w hich appear s to have under gone a political seism ic tum bler. Per haps the poignant question to consider is this: W hat ar e the law s gover ning the Univer se m ir r or ing to us about the quality of our collective global hear t r elevant to w hat is unfolding in our ow n countr y and ar ound the w or ld and how can w e align w ith and apply the cosm ic Law of Love, w hich is the ultim ate unifying peacem aker ? I suggest that together w e begin explor ing this question by r efer encing the m otto on the Gr eat Seal of the United States, E pluribus unum, ?Ou t of m an y, on e.? By adding a spir itual per spective to this concept, w e declar e the univer sal tr uth that out of One Cr eator Sour ce cam e the m any, and that the m any have been endow ed w ith all that is r equir ed to expr ess the qualities of the One in our thr ee-dim ensional w or ld. How ever , as w e obser ve the icecaps m elting and Ear th becom ing par ched, it gives us cause to question how far our countr y?s cur r ent dir ection of gover nance w ill r egr ess r ather than expand the fr eedom and r ights that began building m om entum in the 60s. As spir itual pr actitioner s, w e m ustn?t bypass w hat is occur r ing thr oughout the globe and instead continue to peacefully stand up for equality and justice for all? including the anim als and M other Ear th. We can begin by asking our selves this next question: How can the collective com passionate hear t put spir itual law into action and m otivate hum anity into pr acticing gr eater inclusivity, diver sity, r ather than exclusion; cr eating few er bor der s, not m or e; unifying r ather than dividing our w or ld fam ily; conducting fr ee and fair elections; and pr otecting r ather than destr oying our ecosystem ? Respected contr ibutor s to w or ld peace have alw ays stood in agr eem ent that stopping the cycle of violence begins w ith one?s r elationship w ith him /her self. If w e w ant to be an individual thr ough w hom global car e expr esses, then w e m ust w ake up and discover those ar eas w her e w e have becom e snagged by fear , doubt, and aggr ession? w hich ar e dysfunctional r esponses? and instead em body and spr ead the contagion of our innate peace, cour age, com passion, for giveness, and love. Now is the m om ent for each of us to open our m inds and hear ts in gr eat honesty w ith our selves. Per haps w e ar e convinced that our per sonal abhor r ence of violence pr events us fr om pr acticing it. Upon closer obser vation, how ever , don?t w e at tim es catch our selves expr essing subtle for m s of violence such as gossiping, judgm ent, anger , r esentm ent, or pr ejudice tow ar ds a par ticular per son, sexual or ientation, r eligion, r ace, or cultur e?
