I am not one to normally get involved in politics or any world events as I like to keep my thoughts around this personal and discuss with my closest friends only. I choose it to be like this because I don't think everyone needs to know every aspect of your life, but it seems too hard to keep private these days.
If you are wanting to pick sides or see what side I'm on, this one is not for you. I am a Libra through and through and though you are going to get raw honesty, you're also going to get a balanced perspective. I am here leading with compassion, love and neutrality, not war.
Why I’m Writing This
The reason for writing this is I am starting to have very physical reactions to everything. It is bringing things up in me that have laid dormant for some time. I am sure this is happening for many of you.
I am starting to feel super emotional for no reason, like waves coming over me.
I seem to be having waves of anxiety come over at the most random times, for no reason again.
I am expressing parts of me that I haven't really thought about for a long time.
The Bigger Picture
What is happening around the world is a real thing. It's not a conspiracy, it's not “fake”, it’s very real. Whether what we are seeing is real or not, there is a war going on. A spiritual war.
From Gaza to the US and everywhere in between, these things are actually happening. You can gaslight yourself as much as you want to escape from the atrocities—I know, I tried. But they are real.
I was saying to a friend, unless you have some sort of connection to what is happening, then yes, it's hard to have an emotional connection to it. So I get it. By emotional connection, I don't mean you know someone or know of someone. I mean that what is happening ignites pain deep within your soul.
For example, in Gaza, if you are a mum and see a baby in trouble, this will ignite your fear of your baby being in trouble. Or if you watched a man lose his life because he wasn't afraid to speak his truth, this might ignite the fear you have of speaking yours.
I know these are only two examples, but I don't want this to be about the issues that are going on, that is another topic for another blog. Today, I want to highlight where we are dividing one another and putting each other in groups of “caring” and “not caring.”
But really, we are all just feeling whatever is being ignited in us on a deeper level. As we are all very different and have had different lives, none of us will feel the same as the other, about anything, let alone these atrocities.
Reflective Questions
So I ask you:
What is this bringing up in you?
What charge is igniting because of others’ actions?
Perhaps you can journal about it or even think about it a little deeper.
A Spiritual War of Separation
I believe we are in a spiritual war of separation, pitting each other against one another.
Instead of coming together and holding each other’s hand and saying, “I feel something too. My something might not be your something, but we can agree we are feeling it.” we are fighting each other.
Maybe it isn't as simple as that, maybe I am just naive. But I am coming from a deep place of peace in my heart. A deep place where forgiveness comes before blame, and understanding comes before assumption.
I can see very clearly that not everyone is at that place. That's ok too. But if some of us can see through the veil a little more, then perhaps that's all that needs to be done.
And if you're reading this and you were confused on what “side” you should be on, perhaps you could ask yourself:
“Maybe I don't need to choose a side?”
Maybe we are meant to come to a place of neutrality to diffuse the energy that is taking place. I'm not saying everyone needs to be there, but some of us perhaps do.
Questioning & Neutrality
I am the type of person that questions everything - even the things I believe in.
I have said this before and I will say it again: if you believe something only to be true, facts or no facts, then you have no exit plan.
I will say though, I also understand people that wholeheartedly believe their truth. I get it, I've been there. I understand your point of view too. I allow that point of view.
Don't get me wrong, I've had moments where I didn't allow another’s truth to be their truth. Just the other day, I started an argument with a family member, telling them they couldn't behave like that. In truth, they can, as long as they aren't hurting me in the process. It doesn't mean I have to side with them or they side with me.
I think this actually taught me how quickly I came back to neutrality after this. How quickly I was able to diffuse my anger in this situation because I wasn't even angry, I was just being reactive and upset. A perfectly normal human response.
What This Brings Up in Me
When somebody shuts someone down because they are speaking their truth (whether I agree with them or not), my inner voice instantly feels sadness and anger.
How dare you shut our voices down.
My fears around speaking my truth instantly bubbled to the surface as if my voice had been attacked.
I do believe this is an attack on the throat chakra.
The reason I haven't spoken sooner is because I was afraid to be honest. Afraid that my voice didn't really matter on the topic. That it wouldn't change anything.
But after what has happened, I now know that not to be true.
The last thing we need to be doing is silencing our voices. We should be sharing how we feel, our points of view, and our perspectives. We could help just one person. We could show one person that their voice matters, that their feelings matter, and that their perspective matters.
Or at the very least, they could feel some relief that they aren't alone.
Gratitude & Compassion
I am so grateful and so blessed that I have people around me that I can talk to about my perspective and be seen and heard. Perhaps that's why I resist sharing it online, as I am able to express it in other ways. But now I understand that we need more of this because the more it goes on, the more sadness I feel for humanity. I know what it feels like to be sad and alone with my thoughts.
I just want this to be your reminder that you aren't alone. I extend that out to the whole planet.
We are all thinking of you, fighting for you with our thoughts, our conversations, and as we come back to a place of love. Fighting to ignite more light in a time of darkness, more awareness, more compassion for our neighbour, this ripples out to the rest of the world.
If just one person can switch their hate towards someone into compassion, imagine the ripple effect that will happen just with this.
So to everyone that has been activated by fear, hate, anger - I send you compassion. Whatever it has brought to the surface matters.
To everyone that's feeling sadness, I see you. Let's alchemise that into compassion for our neighbours.
To those that want to continue the wars toward people you don't even know, I ask you to bring the war within yourself and ask yourself:
How does this feel?
Would you want this feeling within someone you love?
Closing Reflections
I know I don't have the answers on how to change what is happening. I don't even have answers on what I can do. But I feel called to share how I am feeling, and for now, that's all I have within me.
I hope to be led to paths that make an even bigger impact. I feel deeply that I am ready, and I don't want my voice to be silenced.
I don't want yours to be either.
That's all I have for now. I understand that some people may not agree with me, and that's ok.
I am open to discussion and open dialogue of understanding. Fighting will no longer be tolerated here. Just healthy, open communication and deep understanding of one another and why we feel and think the way that we do.
The energy on planet Earth is shifting and you get to choose how you want to impact it.
Final Thought
If today you can choose compassion for the other, just imagine the ripple effect that can have.
Let that be what leads you into your day.
Much love,
Adelina
