<p dir="ltr">Hey Daniel, I don't think Mr. Trump has any problem finding his breakout in the open space of the contemporary world. I find the issue exactly to be that he wishes to close off the space to others.</p>

Wait. Is Donald Trump invited? His ideas? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
Are those who have thus far repressed similar thoughts and
feelings as expressed by Trump...are they also invited?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Because: if he is not, if they are not, if those ideas are
not, then: the space that is purportedly open is in fact
closed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
VERY closed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Perhaps this dynamic is what causing Trump's various
expressions to resonate? Perhaps this dynamic is in fact
energizing Trump's campaign?<br>
<br>
<br>

Repression. It is similar to suppression in that a thought or
feeling or emotion is not expressed -- but in repression, we
deny that the element even exists. <br>

<p>Donald Trump has said what some
people here in the USA (and elsewhere in the world) have
also been saying and feeling. These are the words of
fear. Unfortunately they are also the words of a
demagogue, seeking to play upon the fears of others.
That there is danger is clear, but an infinitely greater
danger is that we sacrifice our essential humanity to
our fear. Sealing our borders, closing our doors and
windows... we close our space. And while it may appear
safer, that is an allusion. Life cannot be lived without
space to live in. We are no exception.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recently we have been celebrating
the warmth and depth of this global community. It is a
wonder. But the beauty of this community is not an
inherent gift, I believe. Rather it is the reflection of
what we do. Opening Space. Opening space is not magic.
We did not invent it. It is not even complicated. At
root level it is simply inviting people to be fully who
and what they are, to greet each other and to enjoy the
space. We can do it. We can invite others to do it. And
now is the time.</p>
