I have such a hard time when people in the (white) spiritual community say this had to happen. Did it? Or is that just how deep the programming that there must be suffering before reward has become? Was humanity destined to shift at this time? Yes. But did we have a choice of roads? I believe we did. We could have taken the road of the divine feminine, where there would have been the same result, but without all the unnecessary suffering. It would have been bumpy, but not brutal. The divine feminine would never require blood sacrifice, penance, or punishment before reward. Those are corrupted masculine teachings. The divine feminine knows how to shift through indescribable love, and offered it to us. But something got ahold of the white spiritual community and they all started backing the suffering/atonement/reward programming. If you don’t believe this shift could have been made with Her, through love and unity, than you must believe that love is not the most powerful force on earth. If you believe the only way to change is through suffering, that’s successful programming of the patriarchy. I often wonder if all the white people saying this was all destined and the people suffering and dying signed up for it would feel the same way if it was their children being kidnapped. Their families being torn apart, beaten and killed. It’s easy to say ‘they volunteered for this’ when you’ve got nothing on the line. I am so saddened by what I see as the white spiritual community’s failure to truly meet this moment. Black women knew. 92% of them knew. But we allowed ourselves to be brainwashed into believing this HAD to happen by so many spiritual leaders and programs and that is heartbreaking. They supported this, many voted for it, and now while others are suffering and dying from the choice others made, the people who made that choice are telling them to just focus on the positive? That feels insane to me. The new age spiritual community really needs to take a good long look at what they are putting out into the world and whether it’s truly sound or just regurgitated words that sound spiritual. Did we all allow ourselves to be programmed once again, just with flowing clothes and fluffy language? Start with the fact that one of the most popular voices, Deepak Chopra, is in the files repeatedly with very damning email communications, and then maybe we will all stop looking outside of ourselves for answers, and turn within. In my opinion, that’s what this time is about. Inner guidance and remembering our own inner connections. And stop looking to others to tell us what truth is. Because their truth very often has an agenda. I wish no harm on anyone, but I just can’t stay quiet about this anymore.
