balance in the universe

All of life balances forces of birth and death, lights and shadow, feminine and masculine. In the  ideal world, there is space for the healthy feminine energy of movement, ease, creativity, and flow. There is also a balance of the more stable, structured, protective grounding energy of the masculine. Unfortunately, the scales began tipping long ago into an unhealthy masculine, one where structure is rigid and power over others is celebrated.

As society leans further into the unhealthy masculine, there is less space for free thinking, emotion, creativity, for the dreamers and the artists.

Society is designed to build “neurotypical” thinkers who can follow orders and never choose to look behind the veils and the smoke screens.

So out of the box thinkers, who see the world differently, the ones who shine the brightest are not valued. We cannot be tamed in a traditional school setting. We cannot be weaponized by the military. We cannot be monetized by capitalism. And we believe the lie that being different makes us less valuable.

But, let me tell you friends, society is the problem, not you. You are the sensitive soul who brings light and color and joy into the world. You are the innovator who will spin straw into gold. You are the bringer of the magic.

What you have been told about your place in the world is a lie. You are a bright light in a world that needs light more than ever. I know you feel different. But the lie is that different is not ok. Your truth is that you have a unique brain with unique gifts to offer the world, 

Many therapists and psychologists want to give you a diagnosis. They will see your cluster of emotional and behavioral presentations as a disorder or call your beautiful creative brain “divergent”. Unfortunately, people get hurt by this system, walking away from a therapist’s office feeling broken, shameful and misunderstood.

When we are shamed for being different, even when our differences mean higher intelligence, higher creativity , more empathy more passion, and maybe even more joy, it is damaging.

Uncovering your light no matter what they call it is the only way. Tearing off your mask is revolutionary. Believing in your own special identity is the medicine that moves the universe into more balance.
