In each of us, upon birth, there exists the propensity to do great good or great evil, such is the presence of "Free Will". Regardless of whether you deem yourself to be a holy man or woman and remove yourself from the vicissitudes of the masses to sit on a holy mountain in some far off land, both Beauty and the Beast still reside within you, and it is up to you to respond.
The world and its existential angst, its beauty, its joy, its sorrow, its pain, have nothing to do with it. For both good and evil are not "out there" they are "in here", in the human heart. Whatever we propel into the world cannot be blamed on another, for that action begins within us.
And we notice this dichotomy within us every day, and there is not one of us who does not struggle, every day, with the choices that we make about how to live. I know I do, and sometimes it's painful and then sometimes there is great peace and joy. I am aware of the shadow-lands within me, I face them squarely, every day.
So it's very easy to cast stones at others, the rallying cry of the cultural "shadow" is strong now, and we get caught up in its frenzy. But at this time in the Earth's transformation, it is imperative that you separate yourself from any toxic messaging and go within, into mindfulness, into your heart. Because that is where truth lies.
We are going through radical transformation, in a personal and a planetary sense. Bad timing to let the Beast win.
