A: I sympathize with your dilemma.
Whenever you are dealing with the expectations of
specific people, you are messing with the cursed
hows, as well as their own beliefs and limitations.
You can’t “make” Bush, or FEMA, or anyone fix things
faster with your thoughts or expectations unless
they, and all involved in the mass drama, allow the
influence.
You could instead focus on a harmonious life
elsewhere, where you are happy, safe, clean, and
able to provide for your own fulfillment AND peace
of mind. You just can’t condition the hows of it all
(not to say you can’t follow hunches and instincts,
and follow your heart).
I’m not suggesting you move, you probably love the
New Orleans area, all the people, and have family
and friends there, so the alternative would be to
ENJOY the magic and miracles of the rebuilding
process and relish your role in it (rather than
focusing on all that is wrong with the
reconstruction and feeling utterly powerless),
finding perhaps even more happiness there than in
some idyllic place elsewhere. Fighting, resisting,
or focusing on the slow progress is like fighting
the entire Universe. It will be what it will be
based on everyone's feelings and beliefs and
actions in New Orleans (albeit, again, you can
influence this all).
I wrote an Ask Mike answer in the disasters section
of the TUT site – you might go there for info on
Mass Manifestations.
Very best wishes!
