I write this article with a heavy heart. I felt the urge to acknowledge this in the only way I know how — to write about it.
“The idea of evil is always subject to denial as a coping mechanism” ~John Bradshaw
I was a person who preferred not to see the evil in the world. After all, I consider myself an enlightened new-ager who needs to superglue those rose-coloured glasses to her face. I still inherently do believe in positive energy/vibes and my path is that of sticking to the light and my integrity.
The truth (my truth) about this is I simply can't not acknowledge the dark side exists. There has to be a dark side for there to be contrast. It's a fundamental principle in our current duality reality (yip, noetic and poetic).
Why Is There Dark?
If you can stomach it, I read a series of articles relating to the concept of Luciferianism and I recommend you have a read with an open mind — it helped me get a broader understanding of what we are dealing with: Who Lucifer Actually Is & Why They Are Here (Part 1)
After reading the content above, I had a great sense of sorrow, empathy and compassion (actually, no words can describe the feeling) for all those who have suffered and lost their lives to the perpetrators of such heinous crimes. However, I also had a sense of empowerment — now I feel I have a better understanding and I feel it easier to cope with moving forward.
We really can't deny the dark any longer. Look at the news. I need not remind you of the #metoo movement, continuous warring, paedophilia rings emerging in the political and ‘celebrity'/Hollywood arena and the recent spate of sexual abuse cases hidden by the Roman Catholic Church.
And there's a lot more to come, people — so fasten your seat-belts! It's all coming to the surface and we need to be emotionally prepared so we can face it head on. If you can't deal with it, you can't move through it to the other side.
Respect
To all those who survived such abuse, I would like to acknowledge your suffering and my heart goes out to you — living or deceased.
What grates me is that so many people are still burying their heads in disbelief that these things can happen and don't seem to understand the pain they are inflicting by their indifference on the victims of such crimes.
It's time to stop sweeping things under the rug because we can't handle them. We need to be brave and courageous, we need to LOOK at what has happened for a healing to take place.
It is our duty as human beings to listen to and acknowledge the suffering and pain of our brothers and sisters all over the globe who have experienced horrors at the hands of those in power.
It is just plain disrespectful to not acknowledge their stories.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the whistle-blowers, truth-seekers, courageous journalists and all those exceptionally brave men and women who risk their lives (and many have died in the process!) to bring us the truth. So much love and gratitude to you.
God bless us all in these tumultuous times.
