People on the left and right often begin with different fears and different ideas about what needs protecting. Many on the left focus on reducing suffering, widening inclusion, and correcting unfair systems. Many on the right focus on preserving order, personal freedom, tradition, and the bonds of local community. These are broad tendencies; neither side is one kind of person, and people within each side disagree. This video describes what would happen if the other side is victorious on election day.
The Law of One offers a different lens. It describes the spiritual choice as service to others or service to self, not “left or right.” So a political label alone can’t tell us someone’s spiritual orientation. A person might support a policy from compassion, fear, loyalty, or a wish to control—and those motives can appear anywhere on the political spectrum. In the Ra material, the deeper question is whether we recognize other people as selves worthy of care and respect, even when we disagree. L/L Research
Politics can make that recognition harder but sometimes they are in plain site as the video about depicts. When a group identity feels threatened, people may defend their side more strongly, interpret evidence in ways that protect their beliefs, and see the other side as a danger rather than as people with their own concerns. Research on affective polarization describes this “us and them” pattern; it helps explain how disagreement can turn into dislike.
From a Law of One perspective, an election can become catalyst: it brings fear, anger, hope, and judgment to the surface. The opportunity is not to pretend every claim is equally true or every action equally loving. It is to examine our own reaction, seek what is true, and act according to our conscience without denying the humanity of those who see things differently. A useful question to carry into the election might be: Can I hold a firm view and still remember that the person across from me is another expression of the One? That doesn’t require agreement. It asks for discernment without contempt. The Law of One is a spiritual framework for that reflection, not a scientific explanation of political behavior.
From a Law of One perspective, the energy gathering around an election is a surge of attention, emotion, and intention focused on how people want society to be shaped. I mean “energy” here spiritually, not as a force that can be measured in a lab.
Ra’s energy-center language gives one way to look at it:
- Red ray: concerns about safety, survival, and stability. People may fear violence, hardship, or losing what keeps life secure.
- Orange ray: personal identity and dignity—feeling that one’s values, way of life, or place in society is respected or threatened.
- Yellow ray: group identity and power—party, community, nation, and who gets to make decisions. The Ra material connects this center with relationships among groups and societies.
- Green ray: the heart’s wider view—care that can extend beyond one’s own group, including to people who vote differently. In the Ra teachings, the heart center is associated with compassion and love.
The election’s atmosphere can feel intense because group energy is powerful. It can move people toward protection, solidarity, and service. It can also tighten into fear, contempt, or the urge to dominate. The spiritual question is less “Which side has the higher vibration?” and more “What is this energy asking me to do with my attention and my choices?”
You can care deeply about the outcome, vote, speak, and work for what you believe is right while still trying to see the person on the other side as more than a political label. That is not indifference or agreement; it is an effort to keep the heart open while using discernment.
In Law of One terms, the election becomes catalyst: a chance to see what is moving in you and choose how to respond. L/L Research describes catalyst as an experience that can prompt inner growth when we work with it consciously.
