When I got into business & even up until recently I was afraid of being “cancelled”.  There was one time about 1.5 years ago that it was attempted, and you would have thought it had taught me that it doesn’t mean shit in the grand scheme of things, yet, there was still an undercurrent of “what if”.

As I witness the crumbling of the Cross of Planning & the cult of wokeness & moral/ spiritual superiority rev up the engines I have not only realized that those who tried to love & light Ra Uru Hu’s more grim predictions with the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix got it wrong while he got it right, but I also realized two things about myself:

1)I opt out of this madness.

2)I am no longer afraid of being cancelled.

If avoiding being cancelled (Or “more impact/ income”) means I have to pick a side, if avoiding being cancelled means I have to demonize & attack women, if avoiding being cancelled means I have to live out of integrity with who I am & what I believe….

Just cancel me.

This doesn’t mean I agree with everything someone says or does,  and I do not self-censor regarding speaking my truth, and yet, this battle of wokeness is exhausting, dangerous, & harmful.  It is everything those entrenched within it claim to be a stand against.  In more spheres than one the pendulum has swung & in an attempt to correct “wrongs'' it has now turned into demonizing, calling out, & shaming. This is a slippery slope in removing one's humanity to justify behaviours in the name of “doing good”. Witch hunts & wars, both current & past, have been founded on this premise. 

Have we learned nothing from history or do we feel so justified that we choose to be blind to those lessons?

This certainly doesn’t mean self censoring or submitting.  That is not what I am advocating.  It is the difference of shaming & blaming from wounded maiden & nurturing & leading from grounded mother. This world is in DEEP need of mothering & nurturing right now.  

I dread thinking Human Design & Gene Keys will continue to be warped into tools for the ego to see oneself as better than due to a design, or create larger divides- something that is a wildly lucrative business; division.  I am more afraid of deeper conditioning happening around hierarchical structures as the Cross of Planning crumbles as the not self refuses to let go.

I am more concerned with the fact different views are an excuse to treat people poorly & see someone as the enemy, separate from. Someone worthy of demonizing & exiling rather than another human being WORTHY of being seen & recognized. 

Right now, more than ever, instead of calling out, call IN, including ourselves.  Rise up rooted rather than lower oneself to judge & condemn.

What I am witnessing is division & demonizing in a pretty spiritual bow of “social justice”, “writing the wrongs”.  Lifting ourselves up by pulling someone else down. And seeing this division ramp up faster & faster feels like a dying paradigm unwilling to let go.  Another form of rising up that means stepping on others- which is no better than the one being demonized. And yet in the rage & justification of “doing good” few are seeing it.  Demonizing one leader just to fall in line, give up inner authority, & critical thinking to a new leader.  How, exactly, is this helping us move forward?  

I have had people in my DM’s saying simply because “I am a Reflector I see things differently therefore I know better than you”.  People condemning what I eat as “not being spiritual”.  Someone using my birth data to pull up the Sidereal Human Design chart, something I have been outspoken against, simply to say that it describes me better, as if I don’t know myself. Therefore, while this has bigger implications it is also the simple judgment, “better than”, more woke than you bullshit I am also addressing.  

This “better than” woke culture is something I opt out of.

It is NEW culty vibes that are simply replacing the old. And it is easy to get sucked in.

AND within this, in so many ways, it is becoming dangerous to address reality, the grey zone, where I would argue (or at least hope) most stand; within the nuances.  

So, I have decided to simply opt out of the cult of wokeness. What a tangled web it has become.

Something I desire to clarify is that this was not written as a way to try & convince others to see something “my” way.  It was not written from a place of blaming, shaming, or anger.  

This was written as the observer, to free MYSELF of the chains I realized were still there.

I am writing this solely for myself & my own reclamation of my truth.

If it moves something within you that is welcomed but not required.
