The Politics of Abundance

The Politics of Abundance: Should We Care Who is Elected?

First, this is not a “political” statement, this is about the Practice of Abundance, but if Abundance is to be real, it must manifest across the board, and that includes in the political arena.

On one hand, it does not matter who is elected, be it through big tobacco, oil, pharmaceutical money, or the like. The politician is the product of the cultural vibration and not its source. And it is a bit foolish to expect elected officials to “change things,” the middle moves slowly, human evolution moves extremely slowly, and public work takes patience and humility.

From the point of view of “the work,” we are the ones who must change. But why do we get hooked, as a people, into the drama of it? Why is politics such big news? After all, if the other guy had been elected president, would gas prices be any different?
