A Cleansing...

There is a cleansing happening right now, have you noticed?  One by one, men who have hurt women or abused their power over women are being called out and held accountable for their actions.  And it's about damn time.

I was just having a heart-wrenching conversation with someone the other day about the fact that girls and women are not safe in a world full of men.  If I counted up the number of men who have treated me in some sort of abusive manner and/or have treated me sexually inappropriate in my life, the list would be a mile long.  Men, in general, have never known how to not act inappropriately toward women.  Whether it is a lust thing or a power thing, men say and/or do horribly inappropriate things to females ALL THE TIME.

Statistics say that 1:4 girls will be sexually assaulted by the time they are 18.  Well, there are four of us girls in my little family and we all four have been.  So that tells you just how accurate the statistics are.  I venture to say that if you asked the women in your life if they have been sexually assaulted or felt uncomfortable about inappropriate sexual comments or advances, and those women answered honestly, that EVERY woman you question would say "yes". Every one of them.  I would wager everything I have that 100% of women on this Earth would say yes.

But here is the thing...the Earth is evolving as we speak.  There has been a steady shift toward higher vibrations and an awakened consciousness for a few decades now.  If you think back to the 80's, no one talked about or knew about meditation or spiritual things.  I mean, no one besides Shirley MacLaine, and everyone thought she was bat-shit.

There has been a steady stream of higher consciousness entering our world for some time now.  We are starting to wake up and we are being called to love.  We are all being called to shift to a higher vibration and a higher awareness.

We are being called from herd-thinking into free-thinking.  But with free-thinking (which means we are individuals who have individual thoughts), there is more individual responsibility for our actions.  The darkness has to be called to the surface so that there can be an accounting and then it can be over.  Currently this is happening with men, and will keep happening until men start to get the picture that this isn't okay and that they need to behave.  The universe is disrupting the old, harmful habits of this earth and is imposing a necessary change on all of us in all areas of behavior.

It's also already been happening with race issues.  I know it seems like things are worse than ever but that's because it's all being brought to the surface.  It has a spotlight shining on it and people are being held accountable for their behavior.  This is serving a purpose and that purpose is evolution.

So, Lord bring the rain.  Bring the flood.  Bring a cleansing to this beautiful Earth so that our children and their children can be rid of the hate, intolerance, and violence that permeates this world today.  Make it a kinder, gentler world full of your beautiful love.  Let us remember that we are all one and that love is all that matters.  May we all begin to act in a manner that is so full of love and tolerance that we would have no horrible consequences.  May we all return to love.
