The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
— Rumi

As we experience the suffering within ourselves, our loved ones, and the world, I believe that it is the strength of our individual and collective Light and Love that matters and matters deeply.
So what empowers us to not turn away, to not lose ourselves in despair or hopelessness, to keep the eyes of our hearts open, and to grow in resilience and passion for doing our part in the healing of ourselves, our human and nonhuman family, and our Earth Mother? We will likely each have our own unique responses to this question. And this is where it can sometimes be helpful, healing, and empowering to share our experience, strength, and hope with one another.
For me, some of the roots of how I am moved to respond are found in the first parts of the question: How do we not lose ourselves? And that is certainly something that has been a profound and deeply spiritual experience for me to contemplate and explore.
Over the course of many years, what I have discovered within myself, and come to witness in us all, is that we humans share in common having many conscious and/or unconscious parts. It can also be difficult to not get caught up in misidentification with our parts, believing that we are our shame, depression, addiction, fears, and trauma. Or we can be misidentified with the flip side of "not good enough" or "broken" through actions and beliefs reflected in perfectionism, image management, being better than, power and control, entitlement and grandiosity.
Certainly I have personally experienced both sides of these reflections of being lost to myself — which for me began as an infant — and manifested for over half of my lifetime with believing myself to be deeply flawed, unworthy, and unlovable. It is this pain of unworthiness and shame and fear that I learned early on to cover over with judgments of how I was in some way better than you. I share this with the compassion knowing that our inner judgments always have to go somewhere. And to the degree that we hold ourselves with shame and a harsh inner critic — rather than understanding, compassion, tenderness, and love — is the degree that we are lost to who we truly are.
* * * * *
There are countless experiences that we humans can have which cause us to build protective walls around the tender places in our hearts. To cope and survive, we learn to not be vulnerable, to not trust, to not be intimate and honest, to not say no and maintain healthy boundaries, and to feel that it is not safe to be who we most truly are. And we go to sleep, oblivious to how much of our authenticity that we have sacrificed and numbed and buried within ourselves, individually and collectively, in order to create the illusion of safety, connection, meaning, truth, and reality.
I reflect spontaneously now on how our inner exiles and inner walls find mirrors in the outer walls and exiles that we build and create on the outside in our relationships, our nation, and the world. If we don't truly see and experience ourselves and, therefore, are unable to see and experience the truth of each other, how are we to embody the compassion, wisdom, and heart-to-heart connections with our planetary sisters and brothers that we all need? We can't bring something of depth to anyone else that we are first denying ourselves. And yet it is this felt connection within ourselves and with one another that is vital to the wisdom of knowing how to act on behalf of a highest good for us all.
There is great wisdom in this: We cannot be bodhisattvas to our human and nonhuman family if we are not first bodhisattvas to ourselves. This is a deep and abiding truth. To the degree that we are lost to ourselves and denying our deeper needs and truths is the degree that we will experience disconnection from one another. And rather than bringing consciousness and compassion to our hurting world, we are more likely to bring fear and judgment, shame and blame, anger and hatred, bitterness and resentment.
For decades there were old triggers, old buried beliefs, old attachment injuries, and deep, deep trauma which continued to haunt my life as an adult. This was true even years into my sobriety, years into counseling, years into 12 Step programs and other resources that I sought to help me heal generations of pain. Yet for years into my journey I continued to suffer in the present from old wounds out of my past. And my greatest pain was when I began to see the legacy burdens of ancestral and cultural trauma show up in my sons as they entered adolescence. I had no idea what was missing.
Today I do.
* * * * *
Strengthening our connection with our inner Light, our core Essence, our sacred Self is life changing and a powerful antidote to being lost to ourSelves and our interrelatedness with all beings. At least this has certainly been my experience — and which today I believe to be a sacred truth.
I have been moved to share this quote from Mark Nepo again and again, who describes the essence of our Self in this way — “Each person is born with an unencumbered spot, free of expectation and regret, free of ambition and embarrassment, free of fear and worry; an umbilical spot of grace where we were each first touched by God. It is this spot of grace that issues peace. Psychologists call this spot the Psyche, Theologians call it the Soul, Jung calls it the Seat of the Unconscious, Hindu masters call it Atman, Buddhists call it Dharma, Rilke calls it Inwardness, Sufis call it Qalb, and Jesus calls it the Center of our Love.”
This transformative and deeply spiritual process is not a matter of needing to grow my heart stronger, or grow my compassion muscle, or strive to be loving. As I've continued to evolve on my journey of awakening, today I recognize that these qualities are already within us — a strong heart, deep and abiding compassion, and an expansive love and caring that excludes no one. This is who we are. This is what it is to be a fully embodied human being deeply connected with our Sacred core. As we bring more and more of our exiled parts out of exile and lovingly listen and attend to them, we strengthen our connection with our Self.
It is my experience of befriending and healing my many parts that continues in an ongoing way to clear the obstacles to embodying my Self. This is the opposite from pathologizing, labeling, judging, or trying to get rid of anything. Instead, this is a process which is honoring, compassionate, tender and wise, deeply transformative and empowering, and grounded in abiding Love.
It is this Light emanating from Self which is something that I believe is threaded through us all. Unblending from and unburdening the wounded exiles that so many of us have long carried within our bodies frees up a depth of compassion and courage, resilience and strength, kindness and love that may otherwise be impaired or inaccessible. It is my belief that this potential lives within us all because this "spot of grace" is our birthright.
There is no self-improvement required. Rather, we are just learning how to recognize and live out of the consciousness of the beauty, wisdom, strength, and love of our true nature. We are then also empowered to know, remember, and recognize that Self is within everyone.
This is true freedom from the barriers we've built within ourselves and with one another. The personal to global implications are profound.
* * * * *
From this revolutionary perspective and experience, there is no pathologizing. No shaming beliefs in sin or demons, nothing within us that is unworthy of love, and there is no trauma that we've brought upon ourselves because of our actions in past lives. Trauma can never heal more trauma. It is also true that after working with hundreds of abused children over the course of my professional life, I clearly recognize the undeniable sacredness of every single child. No one is born a "bad seed", as my own mother once believed to be true of me. No child deserves abuse or neglect or any form of violence. Period. And it is clear that narratives related to sin or the devil or inner demons only perpetuates fear and shame, unworthiness and powerlessness, and the sense of being deeply flawed and unlovable. And all of this contributes to our experience of lack of safety and connection with others and distance from the strength and beauty of our true nature.
There is tremendous empowerment that occurs when we realize, when we really get it, that there is no longer anything within us to get rid of, there are no pathologies that are doomed to haunt us for lifetimes, no damning and incredibly limiting diagnoses that we misidentify with. Instead, and as Richard Schwartz wisely states, there are "no bad parts." Absolutely none. All can be embraced and listened to and valued and ultimately freed from their painful legacy burdens — burdens that have often been carried and passed on for many generations before us. Freedom from this pain and suffering is absolutely possible and what I believe to be our birthright.
At its core, this journey is one of learning how to love and hold ourselves and each other with compassion and lovingkindness. It is about learning how to be the loving parent who we may have never had. It is also the extraordinary process of transforming old roles and patterns which may have plagued us for decades with addictions, trauma triggers, depression and anxiety, shame and fear, flooding and overwhelm, and harmful thoughts and beliefs. As we gain greater access to our Self, our old triggers lose their hold over us and we gain the tools to lessen and greatly diminish experiences of being triggered, flooded, and overwhelmed.
This is why I have no fear today of ever relapsing. None. Yes, I am incredibly grateful for my 40 years of sobriety, which has been an essential part of my healing journey. And it is also true that I no longer identify by the part of me that has been an alcoholic. That part of me simply no longer holds any power over me whatsoever. The burdens of the carried pain that pushed parts of myself into my addictions to alcohol and cigarettes and other addictions have been unburdened in an ongoing way and radically transformed.
This is also why I have no fear of Alzheimer's, although both my mother and grandmother suffered from this disease. What resonates for me is what Gabor Maté has spoken about and also written about in When the Body Says No — Alzheimer's is most likely an autoimmune disease. And when we have unaddressed trauma that has plagued us for years and caused us to not live our lives grounded in our most authentic selves, there is a deep cost that builds over the course of our lifetimes.
This was certainly true when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2003. Gratefully, my doctor knew my history of trauma, did not prescribe any pain medication, told me to "not get stuck in my diagnosis", and sent me off to get alternative care. I've now been free of all symptoms of this autoimmune disease for twenty years. And given the deep and transformative healing work that I've engaged in, coupled with the growing authenticity of how it is that I now live my life, I have no fear of Alzheimer's or relapse into old addictions.
The freedom from trauma that comes with unburdening ourselves of the trauma legacies that we were blindly handed by our ancestors and larger culture has profound implications. It is truly radical transformation that I could not have imagined before first experiencing it myself.
* * * * *
I have now long been on this journey of unblending from my hurting parts. Increasingly, it is my Self that is able to be curious, courageous, compassionate, and able to hold and listen to the pain I have held in my heart and body. And, with time, these parts have ultimately come to be released from the painful roles they'd taken on so very long ago. While these old patterns and coping strategies had helped me for many years to survive, it is also true that they later developed into patterns and beliefs which caused harm to myself and those around me.
Finding freedom from these old painful triggers and parts and roles is, again, an incredibly life changing and profound gift. Coming from a history of great trauma and pain and its many symptoms — multiple addictions, depression and anxiety, unhealthy relationships and unhealthy beliefs, and deep shame and fear and disconnection — today I am a walking, living example of what is possible when we access the Self as Healer within.
This is also a journey which we cannot take in isolation. We humans are relational beings, and while early attachment injuries may have pushed us into patterns of defending our hearts, it is absolutely possible to find the wise and loving support that we need to bring our exiles out of exile and cultivate a deepening connection with our many parts and with our Self. Both are intimately linked. And, ultimately, we can come to experience the profound freedom that emerges as we learn how to undefend our hearts.
In more recent years I've been blessed a great deal of support, including with a therapist who has empowered me to more deeply heal and radically transform past traumas. This has included healing the traumatic wounds I've experienced from earlier counselors and therapists who had not done their own deeper work and carried their own unaddressed trauma legacies. No one can support anyone else in connecting with our Sacred core and unblending and unburdening from the pain carried in our different parts without first doing that work themselves.
And this is something that I've come to understand for many years now. None of us can assist in bringing anyone further than we have first gone ourselves. And as I have learned from many painful experiences, it is deeply important to discern who we can trust as midwives on our sacred journey and who we cannot. I had understandably been incredibly instinct injured and for many years, including well into my sobriety, did not have the skills of discernment needed to know who to offer my trust to.
Today, gratefully, I do.

It is not easy to be human. Today millions of us are suffering the trauma of our unmet individual and collective needs for planetary thriving. And whether we are aware of it or not, we humans absorb the suffering of our planetary sisters and brothers. This awareness highlights the vital need for us to find our own ways of continually strengthening and expanding the consciousness, healing, wisdom, compassion, courage, and love that we bring to ourselves and each other. The ripples we create truly matter.
So many of us, as I have been, are also impacted by misidentification with who we truly are, not recognizing the understandable impacts of living in an unhealthy culture. And tragically, we are continually encouraged to divide ourselves up into polarities — of republican or democrat, gay or straight, Christian or non-Christian, white or non-white, American citizens or undocumented "illegals", rich or poor, depressed or seemingly thriving, alcoholic or nonalcoholic, rural or urban, and on and on. And as we buy into the constant narratives that divide rather than connect us, we lose sight of who we truly are.
And when we lose connection within ourselves and with each other, our Light dims. The personal to global implications here, again, are profound. When our connection with Self is diminished, impaired, or severed, we are limited in the loving, wise, and compassionate presence that we are able to bring to ourselves and to our human and nonhuman sisters and brothers.
For so many years of my life, and including for decades into my healing journey, my own connection with Self was impaired. My parts continued to trigger and flood and overwhelm me, continued to impact all of my relationships, and continued to hold large influence over how I lived my life. I continued to experience a limited connection with my core Self and my sense of interrelatedness with all beings. My many unhealed and wounded parts were often remaining central to my experience of life.
Today, at the age of 73, that has now greatly shifted and continues to shift and evolve with each year as I grow older. This is such a blessing! And I love and am so very grateful for the gift of becoming an Elder!
Learning how to embody Self-Leadership changes everything.
This is something that is our human potential and, I believe, our human birthright. This is the message that I give to my now adult children and many others. We can heal and radically transform and unburden any trauma legacies that have been passed on in our families and culture for so very long. We can grow into being who we truly are. We can open and deepen our connection with Self. And with that experience, our inner Light will grow to shine ever more brightly — something which I believe is an imperative in our hurting, beautiful world.

THE FEMININE
Speak to us of The Feminine. And The Prophetess spoke.
We often mistake The Feminine for a pretty and graceful fair maiden or a Goddess of only nurturance who, subservient to our comforts, decorates our lives, sings to us, and feeds us only our ease.
But The Feminine is a three-headed Goddess made of Truth, Justice, and Power from within. She breathes the fire of dominion and radical acceptance, and while She is loving, She is rarely comfortable. She is not here to castrate or emasculate men but to help them claim their crown. And She does not only abide in women — She abides in the human soul. She is the eco-warrior who unapologetically bursts through the dams blocking you from the vitality of your grief. She is what will not stay small and tidy and polite to keep you from the immeasurable fullness of your life.
The Feminine is shorthand for the great divine force that lives within you, that wants to restore you to your inner power, that comes from embracing your wholeness. She wants to exonerate and ennoble your messy, imperfect, scuffed, glorious, and completely essential humanity. She bursts through ideological pavings that have covered our soul's knowing to introduce us to the embodied God who is not afraid to roar or weep. She is the revolutionary who will undo conquering consciousness that represses so much of ourselves and has sickened and made limp the heart of the world. She is intolerant of our separation from ourselves to please the old dogma of conditional love. We are malnourished in our continuous competition with others for the resources we first reject in ourselves. She wants us well fed.
She is the primordial form of the holy word "No" that begins forming in our gut, in our hips, in the deepest furrows of our knowing. She is what will not tolerate the denigration of human worth and inherent dignity. She is the toppler of the terrible illusion of hierarchy.
She is the marvelous unraveller of the status quo, that corset stifling the deep breath of society's truth. She is gloriously irreverent to all falsities that make God out to be anything but the infinite embrace of your entirely. She is the wisdom and life stored in your pain that will not stop howling until you stop your busy life to kneel by her side and find value in the voice you once learned to silence.
The Feminine is here to crack open your body, women and men and all, to finally release the poison of every ancient, uncleaned wound.
The Feminine is here to crack open your old ideologies and shoot new life through you like a seed hard and closed for so many years and suddenly kissed into transformation by the great destruction of light.
The Feminine is here to pull you from the measured, surveyed land at the edge of the wild forest of your dreams and finally toss you into that mapless territory of your heart.
The Feminine is here to remind you that God can live in the earth, in the hips, in the deepest shadows. She reminds us that God is planted like a wild rose in the darkest furrows of your pain to teach you to mother your frailties rather than dominate them and bring the wound from exile into embrace.
The Feminine is here to reunite tenderness with power and to help you source this from the great, hidden sea within you — She wants you to feel the intimacy of God pulsing Her embodied song through the rivers of your blood and back to the holy ocean of your heart.
The Feminine is here to tell us in no uncertain terms that though we have tried to bury Her, we are in the process of Her great resurrection. She has been buried in our bodies, but our bodies are not burial grounds but birthing rooms. She has been gestating there. We are carrying Her ancient wisdom, and a great, never-before-seen beauty is soon due to be born.
This is such an excellent article! Thank you Bernie Sanders! In the midst of this chilling and frightening time, it is my belief that we must balance out our conscious awareness of the serious and dangerous assaults on democracy, our country and other nations, and the planet that we face with building ever growing vision and passion and solidarity and activism around their potential solutions. This is the only way that we stand a chance of defeating the oligarchs. And this does indeed mean challenging the power of the oligarchs that have long taken over both major political parties in América. And bless Bernie Sanders and all who inspire us to never give up working for that higher good for us all and no matter how bleak things look today. We must never give up! — Molly

The U.S. Senator from Vermont is asking big questions about how to achieve—even in the face of Trump's return—an "economy and government that works for all, not just the few."
By Jon Queally
With the progressive movement in the United States still grappling with how best to respond to president-elect Donald Trump's victory earlier this month, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a statement Saturday clarifying his belief that confronting the ruling oligarchy over the "coming months and years" will be the key battle for anyone who wants to build an economy and political system that puts the interests of everyday working people ahead of those of super-wealthy elites.
The Independent U.S. Senator from Vermont suggested Trump's victory was the direct result of a political economy largely controlled by the nation's richest individuals and powerful corporations and a situation in which massive wealth inequality has also created an incredible power imbalance.
"This is what Oligarchy looks like," Sanders said. "Today, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, three multi-billionaires own more wealth than the bottom half of American society."
With a "greater concentration of ownership than we have seen since the Gilded Age," Sanders continued, from healthcare and financial services to the food, transportation, and housing sectors—"fewer and fewer giant corporations control what is produced and the prices we pay."
Sanders slammed a corporate media system in which corporate consolidation has led to an information and entertainment ecosystem in which an estimated "90% of U.S. media is controlled by just six huge global conglomerates," and a political system "increasingly controlled by the billionaire class" that is allowed to inject nearly limitless amounts of money into elections, most of it secretly and without accountability.
"In the recent elections," Sanders bemoaned, "just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion to get their candidates elected." Such a reality, he said, must be challenged.
"Our job in the coming months and years is clear. We must defeat the oligarchs and create an economy and government that works for all, not just the few."
How can such a defeat of these powerful forces be achieved? Sanders' latest statement did not reveal a prescription, but in a series of recent missives, social media posts, and interviews over the last week, the two-time presidential candidate has said that focusing on building working-class power is the key.
In a letter to supporters last week, Sanders said the question of "where do we go from here?" is a "very serious" one that demands deep scrutiny in the coming weeks and months. And he asked a series of more specific questions that he said must be addressed, including:
How do we expand our efforts to build a multi-racial, multi-generational working-class movement?
How do we create a 50 state movement, not politics based on the electoral college and “battleground” states?
How do we deal with Citizens United and the ability of billionaires to buy elections?
How do we recruit more working-class candidates for office at all levels of government?
Should we be supporting Independent candidates who are prepared to take on both parties?
How do we better support union organizing?
How do we put together listening sessions around the country that intentionally seek input from people who did not vote for Democrats in the last election?
How do we best use social media to build our movement and combat the lies and disinformation coming from the billionaire class and right-wing media?
In a subsequent interview with The Nation, Sanders it is "absolutely" necessary to find ways to challenge both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, both of which are dominated by corporate interests and wealthy donors.
"We just cannot sit back and accept candidates who are not prepared to stand up to Big Money interests and fight for the working class," Sanders said. "We cannot continue to do that. So, in one way or another, we have got to bring forth candidates who [will stand up to Big Money]."
1. Thank God this month is over. Now, to prepare for the onslaught, to survive it, then new thinking, we are the majority, flip Congress in ‘26.
Again: We only lost by 12 votes per precinct nationwide! C’mon people!
2. The cost of everything was and still is TOO damn high. What’s the point of Dems trying to convince people that the cost of living is getting better? Or having Dem candidates brag that they are “Capitalists!”? You are proving to the working class that Dems can’t be trusted. Trump never lied about who he really is. Everything we are seeing now from him is exactly what he promised.
3. Early populist promises by Harris were soon quieted or dropped. The people knew she wasn’t serious about offending Wall Street. Hugging billionaires on the stage was akin to her boss hugging Bibi. Yuck and ugh.
4. Trump went to Michigan and stood with Muslims. Didn’t matter that he didn’t mean it. He did it. Harris didn’t. Instead she went and wagged a condescending finger at them and told them to be quiet. And standing there with them in solidarity were scores of Detroiters from Jewish Voice for Peace. A conscious decision to forfeit a critical swing state. If that was the campaign’s attitude toward Michigan, why would they treat Georgia (79,000 Arabs/Muslims) or Pennsylvania (167,000 Arabs/Muslims) any different? Well, it’s one way to win an election — tell an entire ethnic group (over 4 million Arab and Muslim Americans) to go F*** themselves.
5. Trump promised he would end income tax on overtime wages, on tips, on Social Security checks. He said he would lower Credit Card interest rates to 10%. Wow. If you are one of the 60% of Americans who live from paycheck to paycheck this sounded incredible. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t mean it. Working people know politicians are lying to them all the time. It’s more like, if you’re going to make shit up and lie to me, then at least make it good and say it to my face before you make me watch you dance to the Village People. Or wag your finger at me.
6. It’s time to end the Ukraine War. Ukraine won. Putin got his ass handed to him. So many thousands of dead Russian soldiers, sent to their deaths by a madman. How long will the oligarchs let him stay? So Poland and others are now safe. Negotiate the new boundaries. Zelensky should get a medal and a return to TV comedy with a 3-season sitcom order.
7. We need to calmly explain to white heterosexual men that they’re going to be the minority in 2040. Trump told them this truth — but with hate and vengeance. We can do it with love and kindness and offer to help them with their fears. We don’t need the next 15 years to be filled with their violence, packed school board meetings, whining, more whining, and men finally showing up and voting in droves like they did this time. Things were better back when the dude bros thought politics and student council and reading books was for sissies. It was called a man cave for a reason. Let’s bring that cave back and let’s introduce them to those white women who voted for Trump. There’s somebody for everybody!
8. Trump was able to pivot on abortion before the election. He was able to convince just enough white women that things were not going to be as bad as the “woke police” said they were going to be. Of course, they already are. And will be. Women and their male supporters (again, comprising an American majority) have received the message loud and clear. A nonviolent revolt is in the works. (In the meantime, join me in sending donations to groups helping women get safe and legal abortions in states that don’t belong to the SEC.)
9. Trump won both debates. We watched how he won by default in the first debate to a depleted Biden. We thought he lost the second debate because his opponent was bright and strong and likable and honest. But we forgot she was a woman. A woman of color. And that we don’t live in Mexico, a country that has no problem voting for a woman President who also belongs to a religion 99.9 percent of Mexicans don’t subscribe to. Doesn’t matter. It mattered that she was smart. And cared about her people. At least 60 countries have had women presidents and prime ministers. The ones that haven’t include Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Council on Foreign Relations — hardly a bastion of progressive thinking — ranked America #69 out of all the nations on Earth in "progress toward gender parity in political participation.” Not nice. We look like Neanderthals.
10. Dems, the party of writers, actors, filmmakers and storytellers once again had no idea how to tell a story to the American public. Trump told one whopper of a story. We couldn’t even explain why people were paying $20 for eggs or 60% more for a Snickers bar or why, at age 49, they still couldn’t afford to buy their own home! “Don’t blame Capitalism!“ Right.
11. Millions have come to realize that the system no longer works for them. That they’ll never be out of credit card debt, that the Medicare you paid into for 40 years doesn’t cover half the stuff you need, that your boy died in Iraq for nothing, that the police have zero to do with crime prevention and are mostly there to do crime scene cleanup, that no pharmaceutical company is working on the vaccine for the next pandemic and most have stopped working on finding “cures” because where’s the profit if you cure people and they then have no reason to buy pills for the rest of their lives? And on and on. Millions have lost faith. That’s why so many won’t show up to vote. That’s why those who do vote for Trump want to watch him bring the whole thing down. They love the Crazy Cabinet he’s putting together. Crash and Burn it all down, Baby! Fuck the universities! To hell with the environment! Close the FBI! Send a convicted felon and billionaire daddy of my son-in-law to be our ambassador to France! There should be subtitles on the screen underneath Trump when he makes these announcements: I hate this country —and if you haven’t figured that out by now, wait until I pardon P Diddy and make him the head of the Secret Service! This is why you elected me! I am your retribution. l am here to destroy the system that has destroyed you. You’re going to love it!
12. We let this happen. We broke it. We fix it. Stay tuned.
