How A Federal Worker Defied Trump & Musk’s ‘DOGE’ Purge

TL;DR: Amid mass federal layoffs under Trump and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Positively Focused client defied the odds. DOGE terminated him. But he used the power of his positive focus and got his job back.

It’s so wonderful seeing clients take charge of their lives. When they create what seem like impossible manifestations, I revel in their creations. That’s because I know such creations aren’t impossible. They’re just what happens when one aligns with their powerful, pure, positive energy.

Back in February, a client created truly convincing evidence of how powerful that alignment is. Through his evidence he literally defied the power of the entire Trump Administration. While thousands of federal workers mourned losing their jobs as a result of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) purge, this client, who first got swept up in that same wave, remained positive about what happened. He knew he creates his reality. What flowed from that surprised neither him nor me.

Let’s look at what happened.

The setup

This advanced client works for a federal agency here in the Northwest. On Thursday, his wife, who also is a client, texted me.

“[My husband] was just terminated today” the text read.

DOGE targeted this agency among many others. Prior to his termination, Dennis (not his real name), like many federal employees, got an offer to resign by Feb. 6. Another client of mine got the same message. He works in the Department of Energy (DOE). That client took the resignation offer. It worked for him perfectly.

Dennis didn’t take the offer though. He likes what he does and is very good at it. And, because he’s Positively Focused, his team loves him. Especially his boss. He’s so good at his job, colleagues gave him a number of monetary and other recognitions last year. But Dennis just started at the agency. His six-month probation status had DOGE target him and everyone else on probation.

The efficiency program targeted many others too. As a result, DOGE terminated 40 percent of Dennis’ team members. As you can guess, that pissed off a lot of those people. They raged against Musk and Trump and DOGE. According to Dennis, this was their general attitude BEFORE the terminations happened. And to me, that’s not a surprise.

Here’s why.

It’s our dominant vibration

It’s really hard for people to get this, but people create their own reality. That happens ongoingly. And that stream of ongoing creation doesn’t stop. Ever. What’s also hard for people to understand is that their persistent negative focus will keep matching them to equally negative events in life. And the more negative a person becomes, the more negative their life will get.

That’s because life reflects back to us our dominant vibration. It reflects our dominant vibration so we can use that reflection to, among other things, improve our lives. Many people don’t understand this, however. So when something negative happens in their lives, instead of taking corrective measures, they’ll often double down on beliefs (beliefs are vibration) that created the experience in the first place.

Even if they do start focusing on more positive thoughts, that negative momentum still exists. It will continue creating negative events for a while. Until that momentum peters out AND the new positive momentum becomes dominant.

This explains why some people try thinking positively, or they try Law of Attraction, don’t get what they want (or think they don’t), then conclude Law of Attraction is bullshit. What they don’t understand is what you just read: anyone trying out Law of Attraction must understand that their old momentum will persist for a while, while they create new, positive momentum.

How they got terminated

When talking with Dennis before he and his colleagues got termination notices, he regularly shared how negative his colleagues were about what they feared would happen. They also shared disgust with Trump and Musk. Dennis offered a counter perspective, but each time he did, those people did exactly what you read above: they doubled down on their fears and negativity.

Now it seems like a coincidence, but those people met the ax specifically because of their dominant negative momentum. Momentum inherent in their dominant negative focus was reflected back to them in the form of being terminated. It’s the same focus progressives shared that put Trump in office in the first place!

If you resist what you don’t want, or if you complain about it or push against it in ANY way, you’re adding momentum to, and will get more of, what you don’t want. Progressives and democrats focused a LOT on Trump not winning. The problem with that focus is, the Universe doesn’t hear “not”. So if you think “I don’t want Trump to win” you’re telling the Universe “I want Trump to win”. And that’s what you’ll get.

So Dennis’ team members focused a LOT on negative thoughts about Trump, Musk, federal service and fears about how that might change. They also focused a lot on getting fired. So it’s no surprise Dennis’ team members got the ax.

It turns around

Not Dennis though. Well, he did at first. That’s because Dennis wanted to show to himself how powerful he is. Even after getting terminated, Dennis knew everything works out perfectly for him. He knew he creates his reality through the thoughts he thinks about everything and everyone. He also knows Trump and Musk don’t decide his future, he does. And he does that by being as high-flying vibrationally as he can.

Friday was the first day of his post-termination status. He decided he’d take the whole long weekend to just sit and tell better-feeling stories about what happened. On Saturday, as usual, he went busking at the local farmer’s market. There, a woman and young daughter, who often approach him when he’s playing, approached him.

Dennis is a very good performer and a regular at the market. The daughter approached his bucket and dropped a $20 bill in it. Dennis was shocked and deeply appreciative. He looked to the mom and expressed his appreciation.

“I heard what happened,” she said. “You’ll be alright.”

Dennis didn’t know how the hell this woman knew about his termination, he told me afterwards. But he knew this was evidence that everything was going his way. Then he saw his boss at the market. Dennis had never seen him there before. They exchanged pleasantries and Dennis knew THAT wasn’t a coincidence either.

So on Sunday, Dennis got a phone call that wasn’t surprising. It was his boss.

“Effective immediately,” he said on the phone. “We’re rescinding your termination. You’re fully reinstated starting Tuesday after the holiday. Consider Friday as an administrative leave day.”

Unbelievable?

Dennis wasn’t at all surprised because he knows how the universe works. As a result, he produces Jedi-level results: he literally creates his reality, including circumstances and people in that reality. Of course, his wife is in on the act too. As a Positively Focused client herself, she knew everything was going to work out and she’s super proud of how Dennis handled all this.

There are probably tens of thousands of federal employees who DOGE is targeting. And many other Americans are up in arms about what Musk and Trump are doing. But those two people CANNOT determine those people’s future…unless they give Trump and Musk their power. They do that by focusing on what those two are doing and complaining about it. And if you’re enraged by their acts, then you have given Trump and Musk your power too.

Dennis’ story sounds unbelievable because it stands out from almost every other federal worker experience. He defied Trump & Musk’s ‘DOGE’ Purge. Why couldn’t all the others?

Because most people don’t know the power of positivity. Nor do they understand how the Universe works. So they keep getting more of what they don’t want. Some get some things they do want, but a lot of those people’s lives don’t reflect the joy and freedom available to them.

Dennis’ life though is becoming different. Dennis is getting exactly what he wants and more. He’s being shown how much the Universe is on his side. He’s also showing himself how powerful he is. More powerful even, than the Trump Administration.

You are too. Unless you give your power away.

When A Nazi Salute Is, Isn’t, Then Is Again

TL;DR: Elon Musk’s awkward gesture at a rally sparked controversy, with some interpreting it as a Nazi salute. This event serves as a case study in how beliefs shape reality, with people’s interpretations influenced by their preconceived notions and emotional states. By understanding this phenomenon, individuals can align their focus with their desires and create a more empowered future, free from the limitations of fear-based beliefs.

Elon Musk is keeping the body politic guessing. He’s keeping others enraged and some others gleeful. People, generally, are going nuts about his latest gesture. Indeed, with Trump coming back into office, a lot of people are feeling really, really insecure. Meanwhile, the media are making advertising bank stoking fires of that insecurity.

Indeed, there’s no better time than now to see how powerful beliefs create reality. In seeing how powerful they’re playing out in current events, we as individuals can benefit from those examples. We can learn a thing or two, in other words.

How?

By using current events, which are reflections of our collective inner state, as tuning devices, thereby increasing our alignment to what it is we want. Doing that, we can actually become happier. Even while others are in emotional upheaval and with not a thing changing around us.

Let’s use what Elon Musk did last week as an example. Then let’s amplify our clarity and discover how a Nazi salute that was, wasn’t, then was again.

First a disclaimer and trigger warning

This post contains potentially offensive content. Whether you experience it that way depends on your beliefs. If you’re Jewish or progressive and sensitive about the long history of fascism in the world, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU STOP READING RIGHT NOW.

SERIOUSLY, NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE. If you continue reading, and you make disparaging comments in the comment section, you are, for sure, going to be blocked because you can not control yourself. And this work, this Positively Focused practice, requires an extraordinary measure of self control.

Second disclaimer: I don’t have a dog in the fight that is US politics. It doesn’t matter what happens in politics to me because I’m the creator of my reality, not politicians. So while I’m diving into this political moment, the moment itself, and politics in general, are of little interest to me other than as learning experiences.

So I’m totally indifferent about what Elon Musk did. Ironically, because of that, I enjoy a broad perspective from which to understand what happened. What happened and why it happened. So, with the disclaimer down, let’s dive in.

So what happened?

At a rally following the Trump inauguration, Elon Musk took the stage. With great emotion, he expressed how important the past election was. Then he profusely thanked the audience for what he believes was doing the right thing: electing Trump. His thanks took the form of saying “I give my heart to you!”

Either right as or shortly after saying those words, he made a somewhat awkward gesture. With his right hand, he thumped his chest over his heart, then threw his hand outward, extending his right arm completely straight and upward. Immediately after, parts of the world went apoplectic.

The Southern Poverty Law Center said the gesture set off a “firestorm of controversy.” Meanwhile many US Politicians heavily criticized Musk for giving what they described as a “Nazi salute”. Also, according to the Associated Press, many right wing groups embraced the gesture, interpreting it similarly. Austria and Germany both called for banning Musk. And, of course, social media is equally ablaze with apoplectic opinions about Musk’s act.

Musk himself basically responded by saying “guys, give it a break.”

When a client sent me a cartoon depicting the act, it intrigued me. That’s because, as I wrote above in my disclaimer, I’m indifferent to politics. But I had a sense this event might offer a window into how people’s beliefs literally run them. That’s why I took interest.

What I found interesting was, the more I dove into this affair, the more empowered I became about what I know.

Momentum and Nazis

The first thing I did was go watch the original footage. Watching it perplexed me. I know what a Nazi salute looks like and what Musk did was not that. It didn’t surprise me that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an antisemitism watchdog group, agreed. Referring to the gesture, the group said Musk didn’t make a Nazi salute. Rather he “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm”.

That’s what I saw.

It’s widely known that Musk is on the spectrum. He’s an awkward person. And he often appears uncomfortable in ordinary situations. Being on stage isn’t “ordinary” and I’m sure, for Musk, emotional expressions aren’t either. So what I saw in the gesture was an awkward guy expressing deep relief and thanking his audience in an equally awkward way.

That’s all.

But it doesn’t surprise me that people, especially politicians, went crazy over all this. Think about it. The left has been building up a lot of fear about Trump returning to the White House. Left-leaning, biased media has been doing the same. Individual progressives did the same thing too. Through social media they’ve enrolled a lot of people into the momentum of their trepidation. Their disgust with Trump includes expectations that his authoritarian speech defines the new president as a fascist. Maybe even a Nazi.

Consider all this focus has been underway since Trump’s last term. When a person focuses on something for a long time, that focus creates momentum. Get enough of that going and it will keep going on its own. Before long, that momentum will turn into physical reality. That reality will then prove “true” thoughts and beliefs that person focused on. Then the thoughts and beliefs will no longer be thoughts and beliefs. They’ll be the “Truth”.

Willing stooges

When that happens, hardly anything will change that person’s mind about what they believe. What’s more, that person will see everything through the lens of that truth.

So when Musk joined Trump during election season, everyone thinking Trump was a fascist lumped Musk in to that category. As Trump continued with his authoritarian speech, people’s truths were further confirmed. When Trump won, the emotional upheaval among liberals caused those same people to double down on their truths. Truths mainly based on fear-filled future expectations.

When Musk then got on stage and made his awkward gesture, of course liberals, many Jews, Holocaust rememberers, and more would interpret that gesture through their collective memory.

The problem is, a rich and well-documented history supports exactly what a Nazi salute is and what it isn’t. And Musk’s gesture fails the test of history. Furthermore, if some people had an ounce of self-control and reasoning capability they would have seen the difference between Musk’s gesture and a Nazi salute.

Instead, many people live their lives through their emotions. That’s not a good thing. Because when a person lives their lives through emotions, they give a lot of their power away. In other words, they become willing stooges for manipulators. And that’s what we’re seeing with the large number of biased media outlets.

Those outlets make a LOT of money off out-of-control people living through their emotions by triggering those people and keeping their attention on everything going wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s ACAB, BLM or MAGA.

Here’s the thing: You don’t have to be one of those people!

Your next four years…

If you allow yourself to become one of those people, however, woe unto you. You’re limiting your future.

Allow yourself the empowerment that’s naturally yours, however, and you make your future unlimited. Indeed, the only limits an empowered person puts on the future are those limits which shape a future of their desires, thereby leaving everything else out.

In other words, an empowered person limits their now to include only those things that match what they want to see in the future. By “now” I’m including thoughts and beliefs they think, as well as things they share with others, whether through social media, or through their speech.

We can’t help but limit our future. That’s because our focus, the ability to put our attention in certain places, is only so broad. So whenever we focus, by definition, we’re placing limits. And when we do that, we allow into our experience only those things matching our focus.

That’s why those thinking Trump is a fascist and so is Musk saw only what they saw: a Nazi salute. But it wasn’t a Nazi salute, unless you think it was.

And if you do, well, you’re in for a very uncomfortable four years.

Meanwhile, for others, the next four years are going to be positively astounding. Want to know how? Consider joining this event I’ve planned for March. Have a MeetUp account? Go here.
