On this election day, there is one critical fact that I want you guys to all keep in mind before you cast your vote, and that is: humans see 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Now, the reason I want you to keep that in mind when you cast your vote is because none of us see the world as it actually is.
We all have a frame of reference, and because I know that we all have a frame of reference, I don’t want everybody to think the same. I want people to see things differently.
I know that this is not a time where people want to hear that message.
But here’s what I have to say to everybody out there…
I hope that you go and vote, and I hope that you vote for the person that you really think is going to be better for all of us here in America.
I want you to know, no matter who you vote for, I still have love for you. And as I sit and do my meditation, I’m going to be thinking about loving kindness and extending the bubble of love to everybody, no matter who they vote for.
That is very unpopular right now.
But because I know that I do not have some monopoly on the truth, because I know that my own thinking is fallible, I want there to be friction between the two sides. I want a country where only the things that all of us agree on actually get moved through, and that gridlock is a feature and not a bug.
So on this day, where we are all encouraged to go into tribal camps, I hope that you guys will be thinking all about ways to find our way back to each other, to find a way to something that is allowing for human flourishing. At the end of the day, America really is the shining beacon on a hill, and I hope that each of us keeps that in mind as we go to vote.
We are all Americans.
I’m sending you guys all a ton of love, even if you’re voting differently than me. I’m all good with that.
So remember, we only see 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Yet, it feels like we see everything, but we don’t.
We only see our tiny piece.
Alright everybody, Happy Election Day!
