One thing about being an artist and deep feeler in this world is that there are never enough words to capture the magnitude of the pain everyone is feeling. Everyone is trying to make sense of something that doesn’t make any sense and when one has no sense of Self or sense of the world around them, it’s easy to dismiss the very plain sight mechanism that keeps us all in these ruts of self-hatred/denial and perpetual judgement of one another that historically keeps us in a cycle of violence asleep to the true evil source of all the symptoms. My message from Spirit this morning when I asked whether or not I needed to speak was: Silence is what keeps us here. Silence is what has kept us here. Silence is the violence. Silence is what’s gonna allow another genocide before our eyes. Silence holds our truths and experience hostage so as not to enrage a well oiled *profitable* machine. Rage, then, is nothing but a consequence of our own desire to be free; but our rage is never allowed it’s freedom. Not to speak, or defend, or retaliate, or riot, or peacefully protest, or bring up historical facts & hypocrisy in the same breath..so where is this rage meant to go? I find it interesting to watch and read and absorb the discourse on who is permitted their rage, no matter how misplaced, and permitted to defend their rights to take what they want through pure terror for centuries. I am also intrigued at how many people who will never know war (but whose ancestors did) have so much to say about what an appropriate reaction is to genocide. Lol. There’s a running theme if you pay close attention to the parallels of the way we have conversations about our own history here in the US. Anyway. I hope you read my words and that they make you feel something but I also hope you pick up a book and do the research yourself. God help us all. Peace.」10月14日 5時38分
