To The Ones Consumed By Darkness
This video is a letter, a plea from those of us who have made the attempt to understand our own darkness to those who are too scared to peak behind the curtains at their own anger and hatred (or darkness). Contrary to popular stories of good versus evil, the truth is that there is darkness inside each of us. It is only when that darkness goes unrecognized and unhealed that it often can emerge when our traumas from the past are triggered. Confronting the darkness inside each of us helps us to become conscious of our energetic state of being. Are we radiating the energy of love or or hate?
We felt this message was important at this particular moment as many around the world are being asked to choose sides and wage yet another war of "good" against "evil." Only this time, both "good" and "evil" have nuclear weapons that could end all life on Earth. There is always a different path, a path of understanding, a path of inquisitiveness, a path of healing.
We hope you are able to take a moment to feel into this message and find the courage to seek peace, both inside and out.
