Ahhhh, Brexit, OMG!....

Ahhhh, Brexit, OMG! We've been living with the various shennigans of Britain leaving (or attempting to) the EU for 3 years now. But before I continue, why should anyone else out there beyond the EU be at all concerned? Because I believe the most positive thing you can say about the various tooings and frowings is that it's waking people up. It's encouraging them to find their voice - to decide what is right for them. To find their own sovereignty. That's why I support the inquiry we're having here.
To catch up on the Spiritual Significance of Brexit, do check my article above that I wrote back in 2016 when a small majority voted to leave. Since then, Britain has been desperately trying to agree a deal with the EU Bureaucrats that our pailiament could accept. But so far that hasn't been possible. Saturday's 'crunch' vote in pailiament on the very latest deal failed to pass either. So there's more delay, more hocus pocus, as we pass onto the next 'deadline' of Halloween on October 31st, where the PM, Boris Johnson has said we will leave "with or without a deal".
What do the people say?
It's very complex. Now there's a small majority to remain in the EU - opinions have flip flopped. Britain feels split right down the middle - well almost - Northern Island are not at all happy with the proposed deal and are blocking it in parliament. Meanwhile Scotland has a majority in favour of remaining. This could indeed pull apart the so called "United Kingdom" - which to me would be a good thing, it creating more local automomy. There are plenty who've had enough, who, like the PM, just want to "get Brexit done", without really exploring the impact of what that will mean - possibly great hardship as the economy contracts and also possibly a sell-out to US companies.
But the really good thing I can see happening in the process, is that people are being encouraged to step out and express what's really important for them. To me, this is stirring up the requirement for people to take a more active part in how they are governed. To be more voiciferous and examining of those who are supposed to represent them.
It's clear that the powers-that-be in the background want Britain to stay in the EU - all manner of scare tactics have been applied to sway public opinion. I would say many 'remainers' want to do so, more out of fear of what they will lose from leaving, rather than it necessarily being the right thing for them.
All along, personally, I've been in favour of the UK leaving the EU. Why? Because I see countries being controlled and manipulated by an unelected bureaucratic - extremely wasteful - state. It's a highly santised and controlled way of living which is completely out of sync with the natural harmonies of Gaia. Perpetual economic growth is clearly not viable on a planet of finite resources. As the Shift accelerates, it's clear to me at least, that we need new ways of supporting one another through climate difficulty and hardship as the old 3D landscape unravels and breaks down. We need local, more sustainable means of looking after oneanother - coming together in local communites again, where we grow our food locally, help each other with low impact housing and local, more renewable energy. I believe this will have to happen anyway, as the increasing impact of climate crisis puts great strain on the globalised Industrial Resource Chain. Better we choose to do it now, rather than be forced to do it later - that way we can ease the transition together.
A great question to ask would be: "What does Gaia want?"
I asked the same question when the original vote to leave the UK happened - Gaia deluged the polling stations with rain! Right now, as the UK moves through autumn and into winter, where the weather should be pretty cool, we're starting to receive a heatwave from Europe, where there are crazy out-of-season temperatures of around 30 centigrade. Britain is feeling the heat from Europe indeed.
I'd say Gaia is voting quite clearly!
