Dancing Outside of Shadow and Light
When there is conflict, internally or externally, it can be
inferred that a form of struggle is taking place. Struggle implies a lack of flow;
restlessness or inhibition to change. The usual source of this
issue is a block. Internally speaking,
the source is usually an emotional wound brewing to heal. Externally speaking, the origin is power over
another, which is a source of internal wounds that are manifesting in personal
actions that are reflecting in grand scale. George Carlin so wisely stated,
“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.” As humanity, a unity of
individuals, how do we find peace in all realms?
In this “Great Shift”, I feel the movement is not towards a
delineation of morals or ethics, black and white or better yet shadow and
light. I feel that the shift moves
beyond dualist behavior or thought process but rather moving closer to
Oneness. There is no “us” against
“them”. There is no great battle or
struggle but instead the movement is healing that needs to take place to remove
blocks that we have created individually and collectively that is inhibiting
our oneness with Divine LOVE.
The situation in Gaza is our most recent example. While the governments are actively promoting
hate and countries are choosing sides, the true movement in the streets and
reflected in social media is to stop the violence and live in harmony; Muslim
and Jew living side by side. We also saw
this in Cairo during the Egyptian Revolution.
Christians would encircle the Muslims, hand in hand, to protect them
while they were praying. By seeing the
world as an “us” against “them” is the mentality of competition; winners and
losers. If LOVE is the law then
everything will come back to LOVE. Our
purest part of ourselves is drawn to LOVE and desires to unit in LOVE, with
LOVE.
How can I as a spiritualist, healer, and witch, make a
difference in all of this chaos while I live in a small community in Central
California?
I see with my owl eyes beyond the illusion. Though there is conflict half way across the
world I see screaming and anger at the market and on the streets. I see the
Earth suffering from us draining Her Rivers during this severe drought. I see hunger and homelessness everyday. I see
intimate partner conflict. I see aggression against women, children, and anyone
seen as different or weak. Then I look
even deeper….I see LOVE between many families; I see children joyfully playing
and the ability to freely express themselves. I see new growth and fresh ideas.
I see people speaking up and coming together for a common cause.
I believe in the power of prayer backed by action. I believe
in healing and holistic living. I
believe in consensus and conflict resolution.
I believe we are all teachers, leaders, healers, midwives, and shamans. I believe in the power of the people and our
interconnectedness that goes beyond this space and time to the original source
of Oneness in LOVE.
I interweave all my beliefs by living my life with the merits
of strength through beauty, which is truth and love. I do this in my everyday actions the moment I
wake up, throughout the day, till I rest my head to sleep. I live my life in gratitude as I go to my
humble massage studio to have the sacred charge of aiding others in pain
through their healing process; mentally, emotionally, physically, or
spiritually. I am no great oracle speaking
out about the end of days. I am just a
witch who has been gifted with eyes of Owl to see beyond and though while my
heart feels the great collectiveness of humanity.
Life is messy, this is true, but struggle and conflict are a
result of our inability to let go; micro and macro. We should not have to fight for peace. We should not have to armor ourselves, which
implies the need to protect from struggle or conflict. Rather, let us breathe
together into the flow of Divine energy.
When we do this with our hearts there will be no need for guns.
With Divine beauty and peace, I dance and move in the spirit
of transformation. This is our
alchemical ability to embrace the duality, forgive, and unite in LOVE. I believe that is the genuine process of
birthing change into Grace.
Throughout these blogs over the next year, I will outline
this process of change through Grace as I work with my small community in our
everyday lives to heal and bring peace within us and through us.
Namaste,
