The more we fight against something, the more we take on the qualities of exactly what we are fighting against. This is our time to awaken to a new Dance.
If you are a sensitive like me, chances are you too have been feeling the heaviness. I have been speaking about this all year, how something big (for want of a better word) will emerge in these last months of 2023, I have felt it brewing in my bones. And alas we are witnessing the Holy War for the Soul of Humanity.
How we choose to navigate these times will ultimately create our future. We can choose to rise above the distraction of self-righteously taking the right side, or we can broker a higher possibility for humanity through our 5D Becomingness.
No one Wins in War
We have been conditioned to believe that our own beliefs are right, and if someone else contradicts our beliefs then their beliefs must be wrong. And we have also been conditioned to believe that in order to ensure our own beliefs reign supreme, it is ok to maim & kill in support of our right beliefs.
No one wins in war— it just creates more of the dysfunction, bifurcation, and suffering we are seeing in the world. Everyone becomes a casualty.
This morning Charles Eisenstein shared an extract from the book 1984, and it spoke to me deeply in where we find ourselves at this time. In this extract, O’Brien is recruiting Winston into the revolutionary Brotherhood to overthrow the Party.
‘You are prepared to give your lives?’ ‘Yes.’
‘You are prepared to commit murder?‘ ‘Yes.’
‘To commit acts of sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of innocent people?’ ‘Yes.’
‘To betray your country to foreign powers?’ ‘Yes.’
‘You are prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to corrupt the minds of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases — to do anything which is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party?’ ‘Yes.’
‘If, for example, it would somehow serve our interests to throw sulphuric acid in a child’s face–are you prepared to do that?’ ‘Yes.’
In other words, it is ok to commit atrocious acts against others, to become an evil fore that you are fighting against, in order to fight what you perceive to be evil. Take a breath for a moment and really let that sit somewhere in your consciousness. How does this feel to you?
A Great LIGHT of Possibility
During the week I received a message from a friend, who shared this beautiful post from someone named Steve. The message touched me deeply, as it teased out the feelings & words that I have been grappling with in bringing this post to you today. Here is a little extract for you to feel into…
Dear Starseed,
There is a saying, what we resist persists. This does not mean we can never have boundaries. This does not mean we can never say no to anything. What this means is what we fight with we dance with. What we dance with we become. The more we fight against something the more we tend to take on the qualities of what we are fighting against. This is why demonstrations for peace actually turn out to be something quite different. At some level the victim always harbours the energies of the persecutor within them. Similarly, the rebel will tend to harbour the energy of the tyrant.
This is why it is not a good idea to fight against Dark Forces. It is a better idea to focus energy into creating something magical instead. I am not saying this is easy. With all the shenanigans of Dark Forces unleashing the insanity of war this is a great challenge.
This is something I work with daily within myself. One day those Dark Forces will implode with their insanity. I place this in the hands of God/Goddess All That Is and the incoming waves of light. Surrender what you cannot control. Focus on what you can do to make this world a more peaceful and loving place.
Love Steve 🙏💚🌼💚🌼💚🌼💚🌼💚🌼💚🙏
I agree with Steve. When we go to battle, ultimately we take on the qualities of those that we are battling with. We end up dancing just like them. We become blind to the pain & suffering we ourselves are actually causing in the name of proving we are right.
Yet, that old story of justification has been played out for millennia and is now growing very thin. Hasn’t that groove on the record player run it’s course? Isn’t it time that we as a collective consciousness raise the stylus to a higher more loving, kind & compassionate groove? A groove that seeds the LIGHT of a grander possibility for humanity?
We but Mirror the World
Our theme in my Flourish Community this month is Mirrors. I shared a heartfelt LIVE with my Community yesterday, diving deep into the Mirrors of this global moment. During our Wisdom Circle LIVE event, I shared my insights into the events playing out in Palestine & Israel, and what we can do to service a more beautiful vision of peace, understanding, reverence & living together unified within our diversity.
If you feel guided, you can Join our Community & watch the video replay.
The words of Mahatma Gandhi were ever present in yesterdays LIVE event…
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
It all starts within
Sharing the following video that goes to the heart of my post here today. Whilst it is titled ‘A Palestinian Perspective’, I also believe this could be called a Human Perspective.
The video does start off quite deep, and I understand may not be to everyones taste. But hang in there, or consider fast-forwarding to 26 or 27 minutes onwards, and listen for at least 10 mins (though I recommend you listen through to the end), to garner a glimpse into a grander possibility for humanity.
Change starts within us. We are called to find the LIGHT within ourselves and not be blinded by this war for our thoughts, our mind, our consciousness, our humanity. When we change ourselves, we change the world.
I needed tissue why a watch this. Many moments brought me to a deeper truth that resided in my Heart & Soul. We are the LIGHT of change within us.
