Saddam Hussein died today. He was ignominiously hanged by the neck like the criminal that he was. Interesting, his nemesis, George W. Bush, known to all in America as ‘the great decider,’ has never been so indecisive and stuck as he is at this time.
If these two men were engaged in fulfilling their soul contract to awaken humanity, as I imagine they were, then it looks as though Saddam has indeed decided to work now from the spiritual realm in order to fulfill the mission. Bush, in the meanwhile, will struggle on in this realm.
If you have read my book, A Radical Incarnation, you’ll be familiar with the story developed therein, in which two souls are being prepared for their incarnations by Harley, their Angel of Incarnation. Their joint mission is to heal America and then awaken humanity to itself. One, named Jack, would become President of the U.S., and the other, Eric, would incarnate as a despotic middle-eastern dictator. Between them they would act out a fierce drama on the world stage that would create a worldwide, chaotic breakdown, the purpose of which would be to trigger the mass breakthrough in consciousness required for the awakening.
Written before the Iraq war started, what began as a simple spiritual allegory became the possible explanation for everything that was, and is now, happening in the world. It was, and is, the only logical way to explain the apparent madness of George W. Bush in pursuing this war so obsessively and failing so miserably to win it.
In the story, it was Jack’s role to project onto Eric the American shadow in all its ugliness and arrogance. For centuries, it has been denied, repressed and projected ‘out-there’ onto our perceived enemies. It was to be Eric’s role to be the object of that projection, accept it, and then to mirror it back to America in order that it might be healed.
It’s no great leap to see George Bush and Saddam as these two souls playing this out on the world stage, together with other souls like Cheney, Blair, Rumsfeld and other middle eastern jihadist leaders who, even today, are joining the dance. And the party goes on.
For almost two decades, Saddam has been in America’s face and a thorn in its side. And right up to his last moment ,he was arrogant, defiant, self-righteous, unrepentant, unforgiving, angry and vengeful. Personally responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, he was arguably one of humanity’s worst monsters. He was utterly merciless. But, what a mirror he was for all of us! He showed us exactly what we need to love and accept in ourselves - our own individual shadow and America’s shadow too.
It takes a soul like him to do that for us all. In that sense he is our ‘healing angel.’ So is George Bush because Saddam cannot do it without him. They both are perfect for the job — a marriage made in heaven, perhaps! But now it’s our turn to step up to the plate, for the truth is that it is not up to George W. Bush or any other President to heal America’s shadow. It is up to each one of us. (This is actually the main point in my book and, in there, I give a lot of background to this idea and how we can achieve the goal of creating the breakthrough.’ Click here to order it.)
We have the technology to enable us all to do it, and it is Radical Forgiveness. When I learned of Saddam’s demise by hanging this morning, I decided to do a Radical Forgiveness worksheet on him immediately so I could use the event to heal my own shadow.
