> Inde Navarrette has received more hate from women this week than the woman who murdеred her 3 children. This is the state of the world right now. (9/11/26) That's because one played the role of a possessed girl in a movie and the other actually is one. Society does not treat its monsters well. Perhaps this is the bleak realization the average human needs to come to in order to finally understand his life's dark predicament. Western media loves the bad guy - but only in movies, where they are presented as misunderstood and violated by unseen forces or by just sheer misfortune. But bring that character out into the real world, the people's sweetheart, and that same society that sobbed and weeped over their misfortune will stone and kick them into the bin of has-beens quicker than you'd know. Society hates the monster. Despises it. Resents it with all its might. Why? Because it has every right to, of course. There is no place for monsters in society. Or is there? Because it is a relentless monster of a thing itself, society is - is it not? And whatever it sees itself reflected in, or whomever, it wishes to destroy. It is perhaps the most natural hatred a thing could ever have. It is a ruthless, unstoppable force of prejudice and judgement--society--that swallows the individual up and refuses to spit them out - until their heartbeat is drowned out completely in its many senseless and manic outbursts. You are not allowed, in these our modern times - to make any sort of mistake, or to have a wrongful or misinformed opinion, or to change your mind about something - lest you wish to be crucified for your perceived weakness. You are only allowed to be perfect and perfectly informed, perfectly dressed, perfectly healthy, and wealthy, and perfectly successful. It is exactly this side of humanity that has been repressed and shut down and cast out repeatedly, over and over, from our daily living. The side that is not perfect - not in the way society wants or deems legitimate and valid. The different, the unseen, the unknown, the abstract, the mystical, the mischievous, the rebellious, ever-curious spirit of the feminine charge. And cast out so viciously, in fact, that in answer to this - an even greater monster has been born within such a terrible and hypocritical society. One that is beyond redemption. And beyond rejection, too. And, to absolutely fall in love with the poetic irony of it - birthed it has been from none other than the female womb itself. Each and every monster and monstrous thing that happens, every serial killer, every plague or natural disaster or some sort of act of terror unleashed unto the masses... Know that these are all deserved and even called for. All of it. COVID? Deserved. WARS? Deserved. DEATH? Deserved. CONFUSION? Deserved. Both energetically and spiritually. They are the necessary after-effects of society's collective unwillingness to see itself for what it is, to see its many failures in the field of life, redemption and justice. To face itself and its increasingly pathetic, infantile, disgusting, docile hypocrisy in the face of morality and goodness. And this is not me being harsh, this is me being observant. What is harsh is already out there. These monsters are our children, we birthed them into being. Make no mistake about that. If you feel, as an individual, somehow separate from whatever wrongdoing or evil you perceive in the world - think again. Or, better yet, think deeper and harder - because this is a world of reflections. Nothing can ever exist without being a reflection of everything else - and every*one* else. So the world tells you - this is what you've hidden away. This is what you've rejected. These are the desperate screams of all the things you've drowned out and forsaken. Because this is the only way society, as a collective, can learn its many spiritual lessons. They must see it vividly and clearly - the direct result of their decaying way of life. So, you see, the monster isn't some devil that hides beneath your bed. It isn't 'out there' somewhere. It's within you, and each and every one of us - more or less. How would it have gotten there? Who would have put it there in the first place? You did. We did. And we still do, every single day, when we live in blissful ignorance, completely misaligned with our personal and collective conscience. We are the monster. The monster is us. This is the lesson and the wisdom dark matters and occurrences serve to impart on humanity, especially those that gain popularity in the media. The repressed shadow of man's collective mind is telling us: "Here it is, this is the monster you've created. This is the inheritance of the type of society you've built. This is the lost child, the abandoned parent, the violated innocent, the pure seed with a darkened heart." Now go out there and love them, just like you do in the movies - if you dare. But you will not dare. Because you cannot. Because loving the monster outside would also imply loving the monster in yourself. The one you've so vehemently tried to convince yourself doesn't exist.
