That sure didn't work in Iran.
I disagree that the political leader reflects the will of the people, as far as conscious will. Most of the US disapproved of our last 'leader' and there was much question about the legitimacy of his election both times. Exactly what happened in Iran, except Iran was much more blatant. Here, people just complained on youtube videos and nothing ever got done and probably couldn't have been proven anyway.
What I meant by 'reflecting the people' is their true, subconscious, karmic projections of will. Very few people consciously wanted GWB by the end of his term, but, on some level, he was, apparently, exactly what we all manifested. My whole point about Obama was that his election represented a conscious shift in people's wills. Whether Obama turns out to be a good guy or not, a shift in consciousness has already been set in motion, and future leaders will increasingly reflect that, especially as we transition to 4D. Manifestation will become more rapid and transparent.
We are in the transition but we aren't quite there yet. That's why, imo, there is still so much doubt about Obama. Ironically, the shoe's on the other foot now - Obama haters are circulating the same complaints about him that Bush haters did about Bush. Which I find amusing, because, imo, he's so drastically different from Bush.
It could be argued that that's just the way it is when the other political party takes over. But I think it's something far deeper than that. I think it wouldn't matter if Gandhi himself were elected president - there would still be those who would hate him (as before).
At least until the consciousness is raised to the degree that we could have that one fine, strong moment of inspiration!

I don't think discussion of politics should be totally off the table, because it is, obviously, part of life on Earth. There are plenty of other forums in which people debate politics ad nauseum. It would be a waste to do that here. But if we discuss the political machinations and how they affect us from the lens of the Law of One, then maybe we can get some clues as to how to deal with them in a positive way that's in alignment with Law of One principles.

I went through some very powerful and scary times for a few years, letting go of various fears by 'being put' in situations where I had to face them. Of course it was me who created the situations, or brought them to me, but good grief did I go through the mill! I had some friends about four or five years ago who were very much wanderers and spiritual seekers, but they'd been into David Icke and other conspiracy theorists for a long time, and were really very paranoid, living in constant fear of mind control, government aircraft spraying toxic chemicals onto cities, etc. You name it, they feared it. In fact, I don't think it'd be unfair to say that anything people came up with which was anti-government and anti-military, no matter how ludicrous it was, they'd sign-up at once by default!
I agree and wow, me too! I really had to face some deep fears and it wasn't fun. Having gone thru it, it can help us to be more compassionate as we see our friends go thru it. So many of them are so caught up in their manifestation of fear that they don't even realize that they have anything to do with it at all. There's a pervasive victim consciousness. You're right: They see everything, everything as a conspiracy!
I'm generalizing here and speaking only of the more extreme cases, not all people who believe in some conspiracies. I believe there are some conspiracies, and I know I don't like getting lumped in with the 'conspiracy theorist' stereotype so I don't want to perpetuate that. So I will clarify that I speak only of those who have fallen so deeply into the rabbit hole that they think the rabbit hole is the entire reality, and have lost sight of the larger reality. How deep does the rabbit hole go? as they say. Well, it goes very deep indeed! But, it's still just a hole, a small chunk of real estate on this huge, beautiful planet! I say to them, "Get out of the rabbit hole and get some fresh air and sunshine - it'll do ya good."
I told one friend, "Do you honestly believe that every cold, flu, or hurricane that comes around is artificially created/manipulated? Think about that. Are you honestly saying that those things never happen naturally anymore?"
Those who dwell in the rabbit hole have given away their power. They think the power elite totally runs the show, and they are mere puppets, victims. I think they give the bad guys waaaaaay too much credit! I tell them, "Do you really think the power elite has it all wrapped up that tightly?" but unfortunately, yes, that is exactly what they think! They think everything that happens, no matter how small or insignificant, is all part of the 'master plan.'
I say hogwash to that! That's not taking into account the mixed polarity of most people, even some who might be considered 'power elite.' We know better than to assume that even the 'bad guys' are all totally STS. They're struggling to polarize too, remember? And not even Hitler, the meanest and baddest of them all, made it. Harvest to 4D negative is no small feat. It's a very difficult task. Meanwhile, as they struggle, it is the very nature of STS to fight amongst themselves. It's a dog-eat-dog world they live in. They can't possibly have it all wrapped up, because they're so busy double-crossing one another.
Add to the mix the projections of everyone else. STS 'power elite' don't have a monopoly on manifestation!! We are all contributing to the collective reality. It completely goes against the very principles of the Law of One to think that the STS entities control everyone else. It's so blatantly against Law of One principles that I wonder how I ever fell for it, even momentarily.

Agreed!
