Clear -eyed, aura described so this reader could see. Reading your words is immersion into horror and the love of peaceful protest. Is there an end in sight?

Even if/when ICE leaves MN, there is a long road in front of us to clean up the mess they left...and to guide the rest of the country in resistance. I may have the power to see auras, but I cannot see the future. What I can see is that the auras of the fierce love resistance are so much stronger than the power-addicts...and I believe the addicts are self-destructing at a faster rate now.

I've done a little research on how the forest rebuilds after the fire, and it is absolutely beautiful...and faster than we imagine it would be.

You are so right that power is an addiction and love is the antidote.

I’ve been trying to expose the corruption in education, which is also about power and an administrator joined my group because they had turned on him. I asked him what got you to lie and do the horrible things to children and parents and he said power. “ I walked around that school feeling so powerful.” That stuck in my brain as the core issue. It’s hard for those of us who are about love, not power, to even get their motive.

Love is the goal but not the solution.

Since the solution for addiction is rejection, forcing the addict to stop, peaceful rejection makes sense. So many people showing up and saying no it’s not ok is what worked.
