Speaking one’s truth

One of my beloved cousins told me to speak m truth years ago, but I wasn’t always brave enough to do so, for fear of hurting other people’s feelings.

Then, one day, I realized I am not responsible for other people’s feelings and cannot please everyone.

Ruffling feathers

So, what did I say that ruffled some feathers?

Well, I spoke my truth in response to a Facebook post about a 70+ year coverup involving abuse and rape of children in the Catholic church! These horrors were put upon innocent and trusting children as young as, in one documented case, 18 months of age!

Accountability

Church members (definitely the upper clergy members) are supposed to hold each other accountable. Far too many forget this.

Everyone has the ability to choose Compassion and forgive.

Everyone has the right to choose their faith.

But, clergy in the Catholic church allowed the abuse and rape of children to go on and on. And the higher ups covered it up!

Only Omniscient God can forgive such defiling acts.

As a church goer, do you hold your clergy accountable?

How would you know if he or she was a predator?

Are you complicit?

If everyone would QUIT attending, the churches would fall overnight. No attendees = no church. Everyone is complicit in this who knowingly attends and puts time and money into these institutions.

Way past the time for people to wake up!

Perspective

Yes, I shared from MY unique vantage point. I shared my perspective. How dare I throw out my opinion to an unsuspecting, conditioned group of friends and family on Facebook? Ha! Oh, ye of little backbone.

Truth is being revealed.

Be responsible for your feelings

Every one of us are responsible for how WE feel.

I cannot MAKE anyone happy.

I am the only one who can allow another person to upset me. And I wish I wouldn’t, so I am constantly learning and improving my emotional balance.

I’ve learned, I can choose to tend to my own feelings and BE happy in most of the moments, hours, days, weeks, months, and years of my life. It’s ALL a choice.

I have to pay attention to how I am feeling, and then be decisive on whether I’m going to get tied up in some upsetting thought, or turn to a pleasant topic.

Now, everyone (in particular, my family) should know where I stand—or FLOW—with issues because I write to a world audience on two blogs, in two books (with a third due out any day), and so forth. But, let’s assume you haven’t read anything I’ve written before.

Intentions

If you know me, you know it’s never my intention to hurt anyone. As that’s not me. Not my nature.

I share from my open heart. And sometimes, yes, perhaps often, I open mySelf up to more abuse by speaking my truth. So be it. I stand in my power. I stand in my own alignment with my Soul, Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, or whatever you choose to call the Presence of Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient Creator God.

Perhaps I do cast my pearls before swine. But, to the core of my BEing, I am a teacher, a way shower. I am doing what I am called to do, to hasten the Light of our Ever-Living Creator into the dark shadows.

So, before you allow something I say or write to upset your little apple cart, you might seek first to understand, before rushing to judgment.

After all this, if you are hurt by what I say or write, feel free to change the channel. Some have, some will, but that’s what I write most about—choice!

I have been posting or commenting on open online forums since 1990. Thus, it’s really on you if you don’t know who I am.

My ego is not hurt or offended if you disagree with what I say or write.

Do I give my time and money to institutions that HIDE their misdeeds in secret? No!

It is never my intention to be hurtful or disrespectful, but only in our NOW experience, is where our power is, and it affords us the ability to CHOOSE to do something to end the abuse.

Here’s what I DO stand for:

I speak FOR and in support of the abused children.
I am for school choice.
I am for parental involvement in school affairs and doctor / coach visits.
I am for transparency.
I am for statutory change.

If you stand for the same, here’s what that might look like:

Walk into your child’s classroom unannounced to check on the well-being of your child (and all children).
Spend some time getting to know the kids your child goes to school with.
Spend some time getting to know the people who teach your child/children.
Home school your children.
Only support churches that have transparent policies and no hidden secrets (or perhaps none at all as your body is a temple and “church” can be a simple self practice or gathering of two or more).
Boldly attend coaching sessions, doctor visits with your child.
Do not abdicate YOUR responsibility! There are things you’re called to be responsible for–and the safety of your children is top priority.

Who deserves honor?

To many times we think we’re honoring people in our past who trained us (such as my aunt who attended Catholic nursing school), or relatives whom we love, by going along with their beliefs instead of studying for ourself and aligning with Omniscience Creator.

And if you’re a “believer” you should know better. You should know what it feels like to align with the Holy Ghost before you EVER condemn another.

Do not let your so-called “honor” of your own past experiences, or any other’s beliefs (because you’re people-pleasing), override your own Soul-calling (or Holy Ghost) NOW choice to speak up and out in service to protect children.

Grace

Yes, do I believe in Grace. AbSOULutely.

But, only our LIMITLESS God can offer grace in ALL areas and in all circumstances.

I write to a global audience.

Be in alignment with your soul

I coach people on how they can shift their thoughts, way before any abuse can occur.

When I say, “I draw the line at abuse and rape.” It is because I mind my own thoughts (mind my own business), until someone hurts a child.

Performing grievous acts while hiding behind ANY religion is blasphemous to Omniscience!

As always watching the news or reading anyone’s Facebook is your choice.

I am HERE to speak MY truth and offer suggestions for coming into alignment with Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, LIMITLESS, Creator God.

Do what feels more aligned with your Soul.

I do.

Thank you to those who have prompted me to share this and feel lighter today.

Be ye blessed in ALL ways.

Be the person your Soul knows you are!

Namaste. OM

UPDATE:

I feel like John Lennon may have felt after releasing his song, Imagine.

People will take this article and my small opinion about it in a variety of ways based on their own filters, conditioning, and experience.

I have written publicly about my dislike of organized religion for over 10 years. Check my blog.

I never said I wanted anyone to leave God.

I write volumes about God. About the Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence of God.

I was awakened in the middle of the night, the day I shared this. I was told to “DO SOMETHING.” It was the night I happened to see only a short clip of this story. I then, spent hours watching survivor stories, BEFORE writing a few sentences above this post.

I am NOT arrogant, never have been. I doubt my sharing will make much difference. I am only following through to “do something.”

My apologies have been sent to the dear friends who were hurt by my words. I ALLOWED mySelf to be hurt by some comments from family. But, no more.

We each have our opinions. I will always listen. But, I will not comment anymore here. That ship has sailed.

I feel a lot of growth has occurred from this exchange.

From now on, I earnestly pray for the recovery of the victims in this story, and ALL victims of abuse, physical, mental, and emotional. Peace.

P.S.

To my family, or anyone who would feel better about judging me for MY choices:

I love you very much.

Do NOT judge me as being someone who aligns with “satan” or dark, dense forces, as I surely do not.

How dare you?

You obviously know NOTHING about me, or the Lord you claim to serve by throwing stones of judgment toward me.

I speak my truth and call out the predators of this world who harm children and you have the audacity to speak against me?

What saddens me is all of the judgment I am receiving from so-called loved ones, when I speak my truth. Wake up! You crucify Christ all over again!

Would you call Jesus the devil for overthrowing the money changers’ tables in the temple?

Sheeple!

We are called to study to show ourselves approved, NOT by following what some pastor says, or whether you attend ANY church! Study ALL of the Holy Words! There is more than one.

Be careful that you do not become self righteous hypocrites.

Remember what Jesus taught about throwing stones? Have you looked in the mirror and found yourself blameless?

If you are so weak that you cannot handle the world without church, then you are the one who needs to spend some time Connecting with Omniscience to gird up your loins and find your authentic voice! I have found my voice and take responsibility for it.

The Catholic hospital where my mother was first taken to in the 60s, asked my dad to choose their baby’s life over my mother’s when she was near death–he chose her life instead and had to have her transported to the non-religious city hospital to save her life! Is that the BULLSHIT you are telling me that you are siding with now, and that is more important to you, than your relationship with ME?!? Hypocrites!

I stand in my powerful alignment with Omniscience. Omniscient God. Alpha and Omega.

I am calling out for people to not align with those who hide behind religion to hurt children.

And it happens to girls too:

This is what I’ve been shown to do. You do not have to listen to me.

I hope you spend your time and money with those whom you align with. For Jesus said there will your heart be also.

I do hope the people you’re hanging out with are of the utmost and highest good for your soul’s journey and not hurting a child in the back room.

My prayer is: Omniscience, above and through ALL, forgive them for they know not what they do.

UPDATE:

Almost nothing makes me more angry than those “trusted” to uphold the word and idea of God to take advantage of children.

Response to a friend whom shared happy pictures from her childhood, but that also reminded her of abuse and trauma during those years:

It hurts my heart that you were taken advantage of in those ways. I get so angry about child abuse, pedos, etc and so on and how other adults can miss the signs. I missed the signs when it was going on around me. (And I am always open to learning more and best ways to respond.)

I am glad you had some moments of joy in your childhood, no matter how few or far between, as these pics show. Always a silver lining. Something to be thankful for. And thank God you lived through the whole mess and BLOOMED into the beautiful soul you are NOW! ❤️🦋🌀

Laws must change to provide some measure of justice for victims. But beyond that, these so called CHURCHES need to practice what they preach and hold their priests accountable!

From Oprah’s historic speech

“I want all of the girls watching here now to know, that a new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say, ‘me too’ again.” Energetically stated by, Oprah Winfrey, when she accepted the 2018 Cecil B. DeMille award during the Golden Globe Awards 2018. #GoldenGlobes

https://www.facebook.com/GoldenGlobes/videos/1884721461569863/

You know, every time I watch Oprah’s Golden Globe 2018 Cecil B. DeMille’s lifetime achievement award acceptance speech, I become so emotional. I understand that it’s not just because of the words within the so well-crafted speech that connects Oprah (along with us) back to her childhood, or even her captivating and powerful delivery. Yes, her speech builds up to a certain momentum–that’s true. But, Oprah uses this time, so elegantly, to teach us a grand history lesson about Recy Taylor and Rosa Parks. And to emphasize why that lesson is so important.

Definitions matter

While I understand that we may not always share the same word definitions, personally, yes, very personally and deep, Oprah’s speech resonates with me. Why? Because I have “been there.”

History of harassment

I have been in too many situations where I have been sexually harassed, intimidated, berated, held back from raises or promotions, mentally and physically abused, and more. And whether through ignorance, immaturity, or low self-esteem (low self worth), on some level, I allowed men (and even a few women) to belittle, bully, manipulate, or coerce me into doing things that—at least at the time—were not in my best interest and made me feel even worse about myself.

Inner Strength

Yes, you may think that I am strong. And many times I had to be strong. But I am sensitive, more serious than joyful, and quiet. I studied, prayed, and doggedly pulled myself through it all, (believing always with God’s help—even when I found myself in the most brazen of situations) because I had children to raise. And while I learned, forgave, and mustered through, there were times I faltered. There were times I got angry and stood up for myself and my children. But those times were rare, because it seemed there was always someone else standing near to be critical of my stance, not knowing (how could they?) of all the prior bullshit I had endured.

Only because of where I am now can I say, “Everything resolves to gratitude.”

The end game

Because now, I get the end game. I’ve glimpsed the Great Beyond that awaits us all, where all of the tiny entanglements between us, all of the reasons, and nearly inconceivable intentions will be revealed!

I understand We Are All Connected, and that we are on a mysterious, yet marvelous journey in this life. That every little thing matters. That love, faith, gratitude, and joy are our rewards, and that we can experience them NOW.

The gratitude I carry with me today having come through all the chaos, does not mean I think it’s okay for abuse or bullying to occur, nor do I think it’s okay for anyone to remain in an abusive relationship. However, I know not everyone in an abusive relationship knows HOW to ask for help, or HOW to get out. I know that they may feel trapped.

Hope

More to my point though, is that I believe in hope, even if it’s only a glimmer, or only a fractal.

Take one step forward, then another. Hope. Ask. Share. Trust. Move forward with faith that you can heal, and that you can be free.

As my wise sister-in-law has taught me, “never let anyone steal your joy.” And there is always something to be joyful about, even if it’s only breath!

Live while you’re alive! Do things with people who fascinate you! Dream big!

Focus

Only you see life through your eyes. Only you can decide what’s right for you.

To those who do not like Oprah, or do not understand her speech, it’s probably because you have not been through hell, or not the kind she spoke about.

I would encourage you to refrain from judging her speech on snippets, pundits remarks, or whatever political motivations you might think she has, etc. because for some people (like me), her speech was so vindicating and liberating that we may never be the same!
