“In the end, the basic matrix are the dual questions: ‘Why?’ and ‘Why not?’ Together, they form the basic structure of human understanding. They are the basic questions that underline our unique curiosity. ‘Why’ is like looking at the sky. It is our right-brained, feminine, heart-based question. Whereas ‘Why not’ is our left-brained, masculine, rational-minded question – more like looking straight ahead. The two questions make up our rational and heart-minded experiences of consciousness, and are equally valuable questions to ask.”

“Loneliness is the inability to connect with one’s environment. It may come in the package of being alone in the desert, or it may come in the midst of a big city. From my experience, the most profound loneliness arises from a feeling of claustrophobia – from inside my bag of skin to the outside world. It becomes a palpable discomfort that pulsates through the physical body. It becomes a debilitating, prison-like experience that is difficult to escape. I would best describe it, like a rotting fruit, as the rotting of our deepest yearning (for connection) within our own bodies and minds. We usually rely on other people, certain physical environments, and other habits, to fill our void spaces and project our values. However, when these are stripped away from us, often what is left is that void, without access to an easy filler. The fear that arises from here pulsates through us and zaps the feeling of control we usually have. This is loneliness, in my experience.”

“Imagine Trump’s power as a graph. He has been rollercoaster-ing for 50 years, yet steadily growing his power. He has now reached a point where his power has spiked to, by far, its highest point in his life. What would he do if he is all of a sudden de-throned and his power plunges? For a mentally unstable human as Trump is, this will be catastrophic. The mere thought of it has already worked its way through him, and he is talking about leaving the country or not knowing what he would do… he is clearly very flustered by the reality of being out of power (and add to that the potential for prison time).
With his last few months in office, he will fight to the literal death to keep his power (as power-mongerers always do). This mental illness is a lifestyle, and throughout history has played itself out over and over again – from ancient emperors to Hitler to modern billionaires like Jeff Bezos. Trump cannot conceive of returning to a reality in which he does not have extreme power, and thus, he will take on the mentality of fighting for his life. With his finger on the trigger of nuclear weaponry, he will bluff every bit of perceived power to intimidate the other side to leave him alone. He simply has nothing to lose at that point.
Ultimately, he will be killed – either by himself or someone else – within the next year. It will be the end of a mini civil war, and the beginning of an even more tense spell in the USA.
