Kali Yuga is a crazy time… the dark-age of man. There aren’t many real grown-ups, here, on Earth.
When you need someone to hold-space for you to express yourself safely, you’re usually met with a “what about me!” In that way, no one is ever heard; you shrink, and the other person becomes repelling. Or, there’s fighting. Space is feminine… a woman holds inside her body, *space* for new life. It’s a sharing quality that creation gave to her. In a world that suppresses the Goddess, there is *no space*… every void is filled, and people don’t know how to listen, and just sit with the sounds and the silence of creation. But the ancient tribes of earth knew what was up… Soul Retrieval by Sandra Ingerman Imagine yourself sitting in a circle with members of your community. You have gathered together to support one community member who is suffering from a traumatic experience. You know that if one person is suffering and is ill it effects the entire community. So you have come to help hold the space for healing to happen. It is dark and the stars are shining bright in the night sky. The air is still. Everyone feels held in the loving arms of the universe and there is no doubt that healing will happen for all gathered here. So when someone comes along and says: “what about me!”, they are not being a member of the community. They are penetrating the atmosphere of healing with individual ego-force – and their behaviour is leaking childhood-wounds. All over everyone. Being a female is not divisive; it’s a fact of life. In tribes, there was women’s business, and men’s business, and each one respected the other; it’s how they got shit done. You would think that we were evolved enough to utilise the technology we have, to advance our communications – but the human-race is stuck in its infancy; it’s reactive. It imagines intonation in the written-word. It argues with itself, on your posts: commonly known as projection. You would think that we were evolved enough to mingle women’s business, and men’s business, and that it would help us learn about each other, and respect each other – but that can never happen if people don’t know how to listen. Not everyone has your life. Not every girl has brothers, sons, a father, or knows men. Some people have no family, or have been betrayed by it. #RoseArmy and #MeToo are working on some world-changing things… that you are a part of. This movement is about women; woman-led. If women hadn’t spent their lives working for this (without pay), enough to gather in unvanquishable number, in the face of adversity, criticism, attack, and interruption, there would be no *spotlight* for anyone to be heard in, in this moment. Ladies, first. Just like chess; there are rules. And we are in a patriarchy; everything has to be tactical. Measured. 
Simple
This Goddess-Moment does not want to be your mother. That’s Lilith (currently conjunct Galactic Centre).
She might want to be your Lover, your sister, your friend – she might not. How can she if you act like her child? If you don’t behave as her equal? Men can totally share their #MeToos; they are simply joining in, as equals. I HAV PRAYED ENDLESSLY 2 WITNESS THE TURNING OF THE TIDE, I ONLY WISH MY BF WAS HERE 2 EXPERIENCE IT! BUT IM SURE HES SMILING DOWN! ???❤ — Corey Feldman (@Corey_Feldman) October 17, 2017 1 DAY JUSTICE WILL B SERVED 4 BOTH OF US! GOD WILL SHOW THE LIGHT! THANK U ALL 4 THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS & SUPPORT! IM SO HAPPY PPL R WAKING UP! — Corey Feldman (@Corey_Feldman) October 17, 2017 Hear that? *So* Happy “ppl r waking up!” Don’t hurt Corey with your low-vibrations. Anyone saying “what about me!”, or “what about men!”, or “this is a divisive psy-op!”, is behaving like a child. Let women gather, and get organised. Support them, or leave them alone. Show some respect. You, child, come next. Once women have regained the power that was stolen from them, she won’t forget about you. Her nature is sharing – despite your individual experiences. This planet belongs to women. Mother Earth is a mother. There are mothers around who actually LIVE for the chance to mother someone; bring her a gift, respect her, and invite or ask her to take you under her wing. Women should respect women’s right to not want to be mothers while they deal with their own pain. They need to stay *focussed*. Knowing where you fit is the best self-care you can do; same as knowing where you don’t fit. Rose McGowan has been working on her #RoseArmy for at least two years that I know of. I’ve been working on sexual education and human liberation my whole life, and have really thrown myself in, in the last 5 years, after my last rape completely destroyed my life. Slaving away. Dying, slowly. Tarana Burke started a MeToo movement, 10 years ago, that has now joined forces with Alyssa’s latest one. No-one owns the expression: ‘Me, too’. It’s the most universal and unifying concept in human experience: affinity. The origin story is sad; Tarana was a camp counsellor, and a girl confided in her about her stepfather graphically sexually abusing her, and Tarana stopped her short, sent her to someone else, and couldn’t bring herself to say: “Me too”. “The look on that girl’s face,” she said, “The shock of being rejected, the pain of opening a wound only to have it abruptly forced closed again — it was all on her face,” she wrote. That’s what people are doing to one another online; only you don’t get to see the shock on the faces of the ones you hurt with your words. How can you know what you’ve done. Since the MeToos, you now know, without a doubt, that the world is no longer on your shoulders: you can take a break, and know that a member of the Rose Army, or a MeToo, will take the nightshift, the dayshift, or the weekend, and you can have rest. As long as you come back when you’re ready, the spotlight on this stays ON.

Why don’t men understand sexual abuse?
Because they don’t know how to listen. Listening is a receptive quality that is usually attributed to females. The “Yin” factor. Receptivity has depth; it is in communion with all that is, and can draw from the pools of collective consciousness – depending on how far home you want to go. This, is a man’s world. Girls have been conditioned and groomed to be receptive; to be obedient. To a male-god. And to allll His representatives: To the “man of the house”. To the male-authorities in the community she grew up in – teachers; priests; government; business-men who control the money she’ll someday need to rent a house on stolen land. – the primary reason prostitution of all sorts even exists. But Life is Tantra; it is the exchange of yang (penetration) and yin (receptivity), forever. When women express their natural yang nature, they are silenced by men; beaten into submission; called names; abused; locked-away – and yes: even murdered. For daring to SPEAK her unscripted mind that does not say the words he wants to hear. That’s why I write; from behind the safety of my computer screen, where I can express myself without being interrupted. talked-over, silenced, or abused. Being receptive, I’ve noticed a trend around “men” on the internet, over this HW exposé: men do not understand sexual abuse. “Why didn’t she DO this?” “Why didn’t she DO that?” Do? To “Do” is yang. She is not allowed to be yang. She is only allowed to be submissive, obedient, and to act in accordance with his vision: The Male Gaze. She lives in fear of being murdered. And that is what men don’t understand about “coercion“; she is afraid. Fight, flight, FREEZE. She is threatened, bullied, harassed, manipulated, or held-captive until he gets what he wants. The hell of staying with him a minute longer is shortened by surrendering sooner. Playing dead may just save your life. Not only do these men not understand sexual abuse; they don’t know how to listen when the generous women of the internet take valuable and precious time out of their lives to school them. Thank you, Ladies! (And thank you to my bros who know I’m tired, and who understand that men don’t/can’t/won’t listen to women, and who educate the dinosaurs that still live amongst us… I feel excited to be alive to see these subtle changes grace our modern-days; to see the voice of men rising on behalf of women. Without having to ask.) James Van Der Beek, of Dawson’s Creek fame, knows all too well what it feels like to be sexually harassed by older, powerful men in Hollywood:
If Hollywood is owned by men, it is their visions, fantasies, stories, and animas that have penetrated our psyches: what we think might be women, might actually be just male-fantasy…
They highjacked the Dreamtime, and implanted it with nightmares. The actresses who bring these female-characters to life weren’t counting on the one-dimensional perception of mankind through the lens of storytelling – she understands layers, and body-language, and pregnant silences. The average man does not. But girls usually don’t realise this until they become women. Sometime around the age of 30 (post-Saturn Return). On my 30th Birthday, I looked around in horror as I realised: “Oh my god; I’m older than every man on the planet.” And I finally understood that “look” I’d seen in the eyes of women older than me. Now: everyone is different. Generations are different. Times are different. Joan Collins had to marry her rapist. Sarah Polley comments this: What else are we turning a blind eye to, in all aspects of our lives? What else have we accepted that, somewhere within us, we know is deeply unacceptable? And what now will we do about it?
Emma Thompson says:
We’ve ALL had these experiences. I spent my 20’s trying to get old men’s tongues out of my throat.
Some girls can totally kick-ass – these might be girls with a strong Mars, or strong Fire-Signs and aspects in their charts.
They fight. Most girls come from families where the men in their lives treat them like people: they do not yet know they are in for a life of sexual-abuse and assault “out there”. They’re friendly, equal. Some girls, have brothers that protect them, or teach them to fight just by growing up together. Some girls are warned by their fathers to “watch out” for outside men. These girls are lucky. And so are the boys. Family gives them foundation and context for the world. HOWEVER Some girls are not so lucky to be born into a Loving family: they are born into abuse. Sexually abused by their fathers, grandfathers, brothers, uncles, and “family friends”. Those girls have to grow up in his house. Be forced to Love him; feel confused. See him every day. Pose for family photos. I know a girl who dated her rapist for two years, after the incident. Another, for 7 months. Most of the time, it’s not strangers that rape you: imagine how safe that feels. So why is Rose in a photo with HW, after? She’s an actress. A professional. At the time of this photo, I believe she was engaged to RR. Just ‘guessing’… I might surmise her fiancé had assured her he’d “be right there”, “nothing will happen”, “we’re in a public place”. Maybe she felt invincible, that day. Loved. She mentioned: “My ex sold our movie to my rapist.” I can imagine the sting of that betrayal. Sometimes, it can take a while for a woman to register abuse; or even worse: to be affected by it. Childhood memories may not surface until an older age. Maybe the last – or latest – rape or assault is the straw that broke the camel’s back; after 30 years of sexual abuse and assault, see how nice you become. People have told me they like me “better, before”. Well guess what: I liked me, too. I cannot BELIEVE the amount of abuse I have had to integrate and recover from; instead of having a life. And every time I think it’s time to start again, I get interrupted by the Darkness of Man. It takes an army of women to be heard. And I feel somewhat Heartened by this whole Hollywood catching of a Big Fish… Hollywood holds the collective-consciousness of the majority of the world. These brave women have changed something. – can you believe how long it took for anyone to even bring-up the word: JAIL?! I hear he plans to “run to Europe” for rehab – before he’s put behind bars, don’t you think? No-one wants to be renown for being a rape-victim – the shame is extinguishing. It humiliates you until you shrink. Hate yourself. Become removed from the time-stream; never catching up to yourself. Falling behind. Becoming brain-damaged and growth-retarded. Frozen. Most girls with behavioural problems have suffered abuse, and tried to bury it. The PSTD destroys your health.
(Comedy/Tragedy are the twin-flames of storytelling.)
I have collected my courage from the various women who have spoken-out, over the years: Tara Moss, Pamela Anderson, and all the women in the powerful documentary, “Brave Miss World”, by Linor Abargil.
The one time I did find my voice, to write a poem about it, was because I had felt what it might feel like for someone to have my back in Love.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” ~ Lao Tzu
Present Day, I don’t feel so alone now that it’s in the spotlight…
I’m pretty sure women of the world would all much rather be following our dreams, chasing our goals, crafting our inventions, and writing and directing the movies and screenplays that carry the messages we so wanted to tell. But, we don’t get to have a life. We have to fight a never-ending war on sexual abuse, while men get to do whatever they want. 
Our lives are interrupted. By male-violence. Injustice. Horror. Shock. Disbelief. And PTSD.
Sometimes, we get murdered; instantly, or slowly. They say: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.” When your life is interrupted, and/or darkened, you can see CLEARLY what is wrong with the world. You are taking part of someone’s soul. It’s happened to me. It alters the course of your life; it’s altered the course of my life. ~ Rose McGowan
Mine too, Rose. Mine too.
*~ GROUP-HUG ~* to anyone who has suffered abuse at the hands of men. I celebrate this moment, where a spotlight has been shone on a collective-shadow. Thanks to the #RoseArmy and all the women who spoke out, speak up, and won’t shut-up until justice reigns on earth. |
