I see what "the intentional users of bad medicine" saw through their eyes of recognition and fear. Actions were taken, individually and collectively, based upon this lack of sight and a determined threat which was identified through misplaced jealousy, competition, ego and the desire to be in control. This behavior is "old energy". It is not the "energy of awakening". It is not "the energy of the divine feminine". It is not "true power" ... no matter what name it goes by ... to include masquerading as light. It neither respects nor honors "the unfolding beauty" before it ... despite what is stated. As it is said, "Actions speak louder than words."
Having heard much communication about learning to embrace your dark as well as your light, I am compelled to mention that from this vantage point there is a difference between dark and darkness. From my perspective, while dark speaks of that which is hidden and lives in the shadows, darkness completely crossses the line ominously exemplifying the presence and/or influence of lost souls who are willing to bring harm to others and unwittingly to themselves ... with the absolute absence of heart.
Recognizing that it is definitely not purely a matter of gender, controlling aspects within divine masculine energy have sought to suppress and eradicate the expression of truth within the divine feminine. Unfortunately a select number of women with their own agendas - to include recognition within communities led by hierarchical, masculine energy - and to include recognition within their own form of working with other women - have participated in this practice - thereby navigating away from sacred sisterhood. This effort to ensure silence has ultimately resultd in "giving voice". This effort to destroy, possess and/or use power has ultimately "reawaken it". As the Chinese proverb states, "When sleeping women wake, mountains move."
As a visionary who has walked the path of the "Healed Healer", I have both "Returned to Center" and "Awaken Anew". There is compelling and liberating "work" ahead.
I recognize that all of this resonates with recognition for some, raises memories for some, brings forth awareness for some and is very hard to hear, for various reasons, for others - in fact for some of the same people. What I can assure you of, however, is that this reality surrounds us all. Fortunately and absolutely, however, so does the Divine. While light and dark may reside within any of us, there are people who make choices, knowingly or unknowingly, to live in darkness and intentionally act that out to the detriment of others ... and themselves. They live amongst us every day - masked and unmasked.
In bringing forth the light, may each of us shine brightly. We each hold our own beauty. Go within and emerge!
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only Light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only Love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr.
There is room for the awakening of a healthy divine feminine and the awakening of a healthy divine masculine wherein there is respect, honor and balance for all. There is room for true sisterhood and brotherhood. Especially in the worlds of wellness, healing, shamanism and energy medicine - shouldn't we strive for and expect nothing less? Don't emerging and coming generations deserve to be embraced by light as opposed to being used as access points for the spreading of darkness? With each of us starting where we stand, it is time, beyond time in fact - to clean house.
"First, Do No Harm."
