If you can't see (and be responsible for)
The consequences
Of your unconsciousness
Then you are still "unconscious"
Let's drop the romanticized notion
That becoming "more conscious"
Puts a "get out of jail free card in your hand"
And you just catapult straight to enlightenment
Knowing this
It doesn't serve
To whistle in the wind
As though there is no darkness
Further dark energies
Shame, Judgement, Persecution
Will not serve
Bring then, light to the darkness
To ignore the darkness
Only gives it more power
Nothing to fear in the shadows
Merely an absence of light
Renounce
The negative opinions and judgments
Of others
Continued punishment
Cannot "convert" dark to light
There will be those
That want to keep renewing history
If they won't let it go
Let them go
"Mistakes"
While unconscious
Neither alibi
Nor life sentence
You must become your
Best friend, hero, advocate
Love yourself deeply enough
To be your soul's champion
The darkness within you
Is a call
To you from you
For your own love and attention
Self-abandonment and neglect
Will imprison you
On the wheel of seeking external fixes
Or projected blame
Darkness invites you to come home (to yourself)
Once there
Turn some lights on
And restore it as your sacred sanctuary
