I ask for your help with all the dark thoughts that I have around the national circumstances. How can I resolve the feelings that impel those thoughts?

By understanding that the root of those feelings and thoughts is fear. You have nothing to fear because you are learning to be in the world, but not of the world. Recognize that you are walking through a reality that is an illusion created by those around you, and that you do not need to participate in that reality. You need only be an observer.

Begin your day — even while you’re still in bed — with gratitude for all the good that is in your own life. See light engulf you and spread out before you as you go through your day, and let all the craziness of the political and national scene move in its own orbit.

If you have negative a thought, stop and surround it with Light. Detach.
