TL;DR: Many progressives are struggling with the 2024 election outcome. In this story, the author shows how progressives helped Trump win the 2024 election. Then they show what progressives can do next to benefit from what happened on Nov. 5.
I’m pretty thrilled with what happened last Tuesday. Although I must admit, I didn’t feel that way last Wednesday. That’s because my Broader Perspective assured me one candidate would prevail over the other.
That’s not what happened. Trump handily won. And it may be that the Senate and the House will fall to GOP majorities too. At the time of this writing, that’s unclear.
What is clear though is half of America is thrilled. The other half is flip-flopping through rage, depression, disbelief, terror and more.
I didn’t vote for Trump. But I’m glad he’s going to be president. Not for reasons you may think though, dear reader. In this post, I’ll lay out why I’m thrilled instead of terror-struck about the election results and why you should/could be as well.
Let’s get to it!
A brilliant manifester
Those who haven’t regularly read my blog will struggle with what they’re about to read. I invite comments and questions, just try to keep them civil. Those who have regularly read my blog will find this post consistent with everything else I write. In fact, earlier this year, I wrote about Trump and his seeming amazing ability to thwart what some might call justice.
No two ways about it: Trump is a brilliant manifester. He focuses on what he wants and he doesn’t care about things like facts, the truth or what others think about him. As a result of his pure focus, he usually gets what he wants.
Discovering Trump’s massive increase in his personal fortune, thanks largely to Truth Social, astounded me. All those silly things he sold to his followers, coins, custom Bibles, shoes…all those things are evident of his powerful manifestation momentum. Especially when it comes to money. But Truth Social really took the cake. Until now.
Now, I don’t agree with anything he is about. And yet, I must admire his ability to focus. His ability to focus on what he wants…and manifest it.
Willing participants
Not so much with progressives. We all are points of consciousness, existing in a vibrational reality of All That Is. Out thoughts determine what we create as our life experience. That includes politics. There’s no evidence disputing this.
So when a person focuses on something they want and they don’t resist it they will realize that thing in their lives at some point. Again, resistance is key. If they focus a little on what they want, and a lot on what they don’t, that conflicting focus slows down and can even prevent them getting what they want. Indeed, that conflicting focus can actually produce in their lives exactly what they don’t want.
And that’s exactly what nearly every progressive person was doing, including myself, leading up to Nov. 5. Yes, I wanted Harris to win. But was my focus purely on that outcome? Nope. I dabbled in resisting Trump. And doing so, I added momentum to all the others wanting him to win, including Trump himself. That’s right, every progressive focusing intently on what Trump was doing vibrationally aligned themselves with the GOP, Trump and MAGA.
And that’s why Trump prevailed in the election. All those progressive points of consciousness became cooperative components of Trump’s desire to be president.
How it really works
So when I say everyone got what they wanted, that’s what happened. By “got what they wanted” I mean, they got what they predominantly focused on. This is an important aspect of this “you create your reality” business. We don’t get what we say we want. We don’t even get what we think we want. What we get is the physical match to the dominant vibration we’re emanating. And we emanate through our focus.
When we focus on something we don’t want, if we keep doing that, that’s what’s going to manifest. Life experience is a reflection. It constantly reflects back to us what we’re emanating. Having our focus become visible, life experience helps us understand what we’re emanating, even if we can’t feel the vibration.
This explains why it’s important to not focus on the now so much, especially when it contains what we don’t want. Because when we do that, we are focusing our emanate-or on the reflection of past focus or vibration. Doing that, we create again what we’ve already created in our reflection. That’s how “reality” persists; many points of consciousness are focused on what is, thereby perpetuating it.
To get what we really want, we use our reflection to know where we are – what we’re emanating – and if where we are is not what we want to create, we shift our focus or emanation.
Most people don’t know that, so when something shows up that they don’t want, they keep focusing on that. They complain about it, or push against it. And in doing that they create more of it.
That’s how progressives helped Trump win. And yet, there’s a really good outcome inherent in getting what we don’t want. Let’s look at that next.
Setting up the prerequisite
Anyone can use physical reality to figure out what they’re creating. Indeed, that’s what it’s there for. However, people can develop sensitivity sufficient to perceive how they’re vibrating. They also can listen to thoughts they think on the regular. Thoughts are more-manifested vibration, after all. So if our sensitivity to vibration isn’t very keen, we can pay attention to our thinking. If that’s too much work we can simply observe what shows up in our lives.
Nearly everyone not in a practice such as the Positively Focused practice I show clients how to use has insufficient sensitivity to perceive their vibratory emanations. The same amount of people don’t bother thinking about how they’re thinking. They think thinking is just an automatic process. Not something subject to their control.
So for all those people, it’s easiest to watch what shows up in their lives as a way of knowing what they’re emanating. Since we’re all eternal, we have all the time in the world to use that method, to create what we want. So it’s all good.
But some people fear their physical reality. They think, for example, that now that Trump is president they must flee the US. Or, those outside the US must fear the US. That’s flawed thinking because it’s based on a premise that will bite people in the ass if they don’t realize it’s a flaw. We’ll get to the good outcome I alluded to above. Let’s first look at this flawed premise as a prerequisite. It’s important.
Beliefs create lack of control
I’ve shared this over and over: each of us exists in our own, individually-created reality. People in our reality are there as reflections. They reflect what we are thinking about the people they represent: strangers, letter carriers, loved ones, family members, coworkers, etc. So no one shares their reality with another. The Positively Focused practice makes this absolutely clear by pointing practitioners to evidence proving this the case. If you don’t believe this, then just assume it’s true for now.
Since we’re all in our own reality, and since we’re each the creator of that reality, nothing and no one can create something for us. Only we can. But if we think/believe that someone or something can create our reality, then our reality will reflect that back to us. How? In the form of a reality seemingly being created by others. It will also include events seeming to randomly happen, usually against our will. Again, it’s not that someone else is creating it or that what’s happening is random or accidental. We’re creating that experience from the belief (the vibration emanation) that draws that experience to us.
Many beliefs can do that. Here are examples and all of them exist fairly prevalent in human consciousness:
- Life is an accident of random processes
- God is real and his will supersedes mine
- Accidents happen
- Bad luck happens
- Good luck happens
- Bad things happen to good people
- Life is dangerous
- Life is random
- We never know when our time is up
Many more similar beliefs exist. But these should give us an idea of what beliefs create realities wherein it looks like others shape our experience.
Where reality comes from
The problem with such beliefs doesn’t end with the fact that they create realities that look like others can control what happens in our experience. Such beliefs, if believed, means that the person holding them must contend with such a reality!
So if we believe the world is going to hell because Trump is now president, we must leave the country, or even the world, if possible, because that belief will create experience consistent with it. So I wouldn’t tell someone contemplating moving to Canada to stay in the US. If they believe staying in the US is dangerous to them, they will perceive evidence proving this true. And eventually, they will attract to themselves experiences confirming the perceived danger.
But here’s the thing: another person, with the exact same conditions minus the belief about Trump will not see that evidence. And if they believe their reality springs from their empowering beliefs, it doesn’t matter that Trump is president. Because the president has no ability to force conditions to play out in our lives. Nor does anyone else. Unless we believe they do.
Beliefs create reality. Focus creates reality. Thoughts create reality. All three of these are the only Source of reality as it exists for each person. It’s important then, to cultivate beliefs consistent with the reality one wants.
But even if we don’t, the Universe and All That Is will help us do so. How? Well, now it’s time to visit that good outcome I mentioned above.
A matter of choice
A hallmark of the Positively Focused practice describes the instantaneous creation of our ongoing reality experience. Part of that process includes our physical reality as a reflector. Here’s how that works. Here’s also how Trump winning the election is a good thing, especially for progressives.
Since our reality is a reflection, whether we’re conscious of it or not, we immediately know two things in the moment we experience the reflection: we know what we don’t want and we know what we do want.
In the case of negative reflections, the “not wanted” is front and center. Our emotions, thoughts and even our bodies sometimes reflect the “unwanted” aspect of an unpleasant experience. For nearly all progressives, Nov. 6 was an “unwanted” reality.
But in that same instant, progressives knew what they wanted. No, they didn’t want Tump to not be president. That’s still a focus on Trump, which leads to him being president. Some progressives wanted freedom to be. Some wanted empowerment in their lives or the lives of people they know. Others wanted a country that, in their mind, cares for others. Many wanted all these things and more.
And in that moment of realization, in knowing what they wanted and what they didn’t want, they had a choice – a crucial choice. They could vibrationally focus on what they wanted. Or they could vibrationally focus on what they didn’t want.
I would bet nearly every single progressive in America focused, on Nov 6, on what they didn’t want. And they did that with very strong emotional intent. That’s a problem.
It must be
It’s a problem because all those progressives, while not knowing it, amplified Tump becoming president by focusing on that not wanted situation and through their focus and emotions added more momentum to what they already focused into existence on Nov 5. It’s exactly what I described above about looking at what is and thereby creating more of that.
But some progressives (myself included) did something different. We expressed curiosity about what happened instead of fear or insecurity. We wondered how this happened. Then, getting an answer (what you’re reading here, dear reader) we decided to focus on what we want. In that focus, held no matter the evidence of the current reflection, we felt better. And in that better-feeling place, we emanate a more positive vibration.
That positive vibration must create a reflection in our lives consistent with that emanation. And it doesn’t matter that Trump won. But any progressive trying to do this who believes Trump’s victory does matter has the same problem progressives focusing on what’s not wanted have: they’re creating a reality for themselves that includes Trump controlling their life experience.
So the good news is, out of a negative experience, we know what we want and what we don’t. Line up with what we want and we will eventually get what we are lined up with. This is how the Universe works, so it MUST BE.
More and more GOP
A lot of progressives worry about other people. They worry about the poor. Some worry about LGBTQ people or other “disadvantaged” people such as BiPOC folks. The problem with that worry is, it doesn’t help.
If everything you just read is accurate (and it is) then those beliefs about those people create a reality for those believers in which those people are disadvantaged. If progressives really want to help others, their best bet is think the most empowering, positive and loving thoughts they can about everyone. Including their enemies (the GOP).
Because the hate or fear or worry progressives hold does nothing but disadvantage the very progressives holding such views. That holds doubly true for hate. Hating conservatives doesn’t make conservatives go away. Have you noticed? They haven’t gone anywhere. Indeed, we could say the conservative movement has grown, become meaner and more effective. Thanks progressives!
Maybe it’s time we progressives take a different approach. One that nearly every spiritual leader suggests: love your enemies as yourself. I know that the more progressives that do that, the more those progressives’ lives will improve. But those progressives can’t do anything to help another progressive’s life improve. Remember, we all create our own reality. Each progressive must do it for themselves. And many aren’t ready to do that.
No worry. We’re all eternal. And the world will keep reflecting back to such people a progressively awful life, until they surrender to the only power they have: the power of their Broader Perspective. And when they do, they’ll find everything they want is there.
No matter who is in the White House.
