DIVIDE AND CONQUER – A STRATEGY

THE POLITICAL SPLIT NOW REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED IN ELECTION RESULTS , REFERENDUMS AND OPINION POLLS  IS A GLOBAL PHENOMENON, A FURTHER EXAMPLE OF THE DUALITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS  IN THE CURRENT TRANSITION TOWARDS UNITY OR CHAOS.

 A SPIRITUAL CHALLENGE:  When viewed in terms of consciousness, this manifests in  a lack of spiritual cohesiveness, marked by moral and ethical decline. Such markers in Time provide a wake up call,  a warning to humanity to return to observance of the governing cosmic law in order to avoid inevitable consequence. Cosmologists acknowledge  the geophysical division and fragmentation which takes place at the end of cosmic cycles, now manifesting as climate change.  Sociologists  and mental health care practitioners recognise the psychological trauma  and breakdown often associated with change and uncertainty which precedes any regenerative phase of renewal. Today political guru’s are confounded by the dynamic changes in which outcome cannot be predicted.

UNITY OR DIVISION:   The outcome of the current Israeli election is one more demonstration of division and fragmentation, a split in the national psyche.  With 95% of the vote counted, results show a tie, with the two major parties evenly split at 56 seats, the Likud Party led by Prime Minister Netanyahu is behind  by one seat.  Neither side has the 61 votes necessary to form a governing coalition in the 120-seat Knesset.

The UK Brexit vote on whether to leave the EU, split the nation and led to an unresolved constitutional crisis.

  •  In the UK 51.9% voted LEAVE and 48.1% REMAIN.
  • With the exception of Scotland and London the results of the remaining 11 regions eligible to vote illustrated an average split of 10%.
  • Northern Ireland voted  55.8%  NO  to 44.2% YES.
  • Wales voted 47.5% NO  to 52.5% YES.
  • In the Scottish referendum which debated Independence from Britain,  55.3% voted against independence with  44.7% voting in favour, the later Brexit crisis  influencing any potential second referendum.

  • In the  2016 US election Donald Trump won  46.1% of votes with Hilary Clinton receiving 48.2. Trump became President due to the Electoral College voting system.

FISCAL IMBALANCE SUGGESTS A SPIRITUAL ANOMALY: Of the total $1.149 trillion US national budget, 53% ($610 billion) is devoted to military spending, compared with 47%  ($540 billion) allocated for all other needs.

The Military Budget for 2017  accounted  for more than one third of world military spending, the equivalent of the combined military budgets of the next top ten countries.

In order to tip the balance in favour of  compassionate world wide governance, each nation would be required (and allowed) to use its voice. A belief that we will not be heard ensures that we will not. To speak in a little voice or to remain silent is to defer out of weakness; . The mass consciousness of dispirited weariness  is reflected in the split. The ulterior objective has been achieved, we have then surrendered to the darker forces of enslavement, a self fulfilling prophecy. Sadly the old adage ‘we get the politicians we deserve’ is true.

Outcome is determined by Free Will.  We do not need more strident voices, for in speaking or acting aggressively we become a part of the energy we are opposing.  A greater willingness to engage, at whatever level, as an agent for change is the activating force, described by Jesus as ‘the leaven in the bread’.  In the words of Martin Luther King “We must move past indecision to action. If we do not act we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.”
