Poor Trump & Being

Poor Trump.  He was hated in his own city.  And right in front of his Trump Tower.  I don’t know what my problem is.  I wanted to be in a reflective mood and I find myself back writing about Trump again.  It struck me that he has such wealth and yet the reality of his life finds himself in a place of great poverty.  I guess it is good for him that his mental functioning has little connection with reality.  I just had this insight.  Despite his prominence as a public figure, he is a human being and the rest of his life story is going to have to play itself out.  And the whole world is presently connected to his story.  I believe I said once before that this is going to be the longest story ever told. 😱. At least it will feel that way to those of us who are moving through this time in history along with Donald Trump.  I just had that feeling again when thinking about the remainder of Trump’s presidency and perhaps also his life.  I think I heard a little wise voice in my head say, “Yes his life.  Ha ha.  Do you really think Donald Trump will just be out of your head once he is no longer president.”  

And oh dear, I just had another insight about Mr. Trump.  He will never be gone, even when he is dead.  I guess it behooves one to have the highest of contemplations about the history and events and people with whom we share the experiences and stories of our lives.  I believe one of my elder relatives or ancestors used the word behooves.  It is not a word I ever use, but I understand its meaning of course.  I can’t remember where in my childhood I heard and learned that word.

I had another insight mixed in with all my thoughts.

Even mentally ill presidents who do great harm and others who screw up their lives royally deserve a chance to be saved.  If I was religious, I would call that salvation, but that word doesn’t quite sound right for me.  Everyone deserves a chance to be loved and saved when they have fallen.

There is a source of greater consciousness.  I’d be nuts not to believe in it when I have experienced it many times.  I believe this is what Eckhart Tolle calls “being”.  For some reason, yesterday I felt connected to something really positive that gave me a sense of peace and motivation and happiness.  I had recently listened to some of the book, “The Power Of Now” by Eckart Tolle.  Maybe his beliefs and ideas helped me connect with this state of mind.  I need to get back into that mode of being and state of mind.  I believe we can perhaps save ourselves a lot of emotional turmoil in our journeys through existence if we can receive wisdom from our greater consciousness or being.

I think I just had another Eckhart Tolle  insight about the power of now.  I think he would say.  “Do you not comprehend that your story exists in the present?”  He was speaking in my head quite a bit when I had actually been asleep.  I believe I nonetheless understood the experience of “being”. It’s the closest thing to my own experience that I have heard of although I don’t think I ever feel disconnected from my own ego, just maybe the part of my ego that doesn’t connect with a greater source.
