Transmuting darkness and your susceptibility to it is challenging and painful. It feels like you're being twisted upside-down while being asked to walk. It's heavy, it's misalignment, it's wounding... and yet you can't grow beyond it if you don't acknowledge it as a pain you don't deserve in your life.
Thankfully you don't go through it alone and it doesn't last that long. These sessions only make it about a couple weeks or a month at the most. Then the clouds part, you return to yourself, and your stamina and resiliency comes through.
This process allows us to realize what still needs to be changed within us and pushes us to make that shift internally. Right now is a huge transitional movement within people and the world.

Race to the Finish
It took a couple days for me to fully understand what was happening with the rioting and protesting.
I understood socially what was happening.
They said "Why are they using violence?" while ignoring the fact that it was 'violence' towards objects -never people. Violence against people of color has been an abuse by police for decades, and never spoken out against by white people this loudly.
So I understood where protesters were coming from. But I was wondering what was going on spiritually.
For 2 weeks preceding this I kept thinking about Malcom X -about 5 times total -and kept affirming: He was essential part of black history. He was labelled controversial -not because he said he would hunt white people down, but because he simply said black people had a right to defend themselves physically from attacks by white people. White people today can still state, "If someone comes for my gun I'll kill them onsite", without anyone being shocked.
So spiritually I was being cued into what was coming as far as the kinds of protests and the fabricated representation of them some in the media would take.
Then I realized after seeing how many days and how many states and countries this was occurring in that this was a "final stand" and major push towards real, lasting change.
The LGBT movement has been quietly humming along and making progress slowly but surely. Injustice against black people hadn't wavered or halted to any degree -even in a pandemic.
It was always going to take a historical push this big to get this issue to register with people. You will NOT kill black people anymore. Without protests this large and long-lasting with a good amount of white people present themselves, the issue would have continued being ignored like it had been.
Too many lives lost and for too long. Not just speaking out against the brutal murder of one person in particular. A demand for justice -and not just within the United States but everywhere.
