The proper use of denial
This is one of my favourite teachings from A Course in Miracles: “The only meaningful use of denial is to deny the unreal—to deny darkness its power.”
Christ consciousness mic drop.
The only good use of denial is to deny the darkness any power over you.
Let’s apply this to… talk of warz. All the microplastics we may consume. What discontented people opinionate about your happiness. The dense energies that hijack mainstream music and media. Propaganda machines. Things that go bump in the night.
You could say, “I deny you power.” Or, “You have no jurisdiction here.” Your intention will matter. Don’t make it a fight—battle cries are a hook. It’s more of a declaration.
Because navigating the darkness and the light can be strenuous business. This is key: don’t give the darkness too much energy or thought. Don’t ruminate. Don’t talk about it repeatedly. Do not anchor it to your mind with ropes of worry. You don’t even need to post about it every day.
But don’t turn a blind eye.
We don’t ignore the existence of dark energy and oppositional forces.
We don’t act like the world is in balance when it’s clearly askew.
We see the intruder, and we focus on what protects us. The Omnipresent Divine.
You just keep moving in the direction of wellness and PEACE, and anything that’s trying to feed on you will begin to wither away. Stay in a higher vibration and the low vibrations will have no place to latch on.
When you’re full of loving awareness, you seal off access points to negativity.
You deny the darkness its power by being brighter. By knowing what sanity is. By praying for Faith. By working for justice without the intention to harm. By wishing mercy for all. By seeing the beauty wherever possible and leaving room for mystery.
Fear feeds on fear. Love wants you free.
Darkness wants you scared. The Light wants you radiant.
Your power is real.
Love,
WHAT’S WORKING
My new REGULATE TO RELATE MASTERCLASS is workin’!
People are rewriting their relational reality by putting their nervous systems at the top of the priority list. Marriages back on track, families forgiving, more relaxed parenting. And less damn stress at work. All forms of relationships.
“I was reminded yesterday of my light, of the love I give everyday, by being a friend…Now, as I move into these teachings, I will be aware of my daily interactions. Thank you for this reminder, that I have always been worthy because this week started with positive vibes from friends that moved me with their kind words and actions. I am love, I am light and I am the healer.” – Gina
“The content helped me move through some difficult situations with a little bit more grace and calm.” – Stephanie
WHAT’S NOT WORKING
Believing people’s distortions of you does not work. If someone is not a consistently clear thinker, if they view the world through lenses cracked by their trauma… don’t invest too much in their opinion of your weaknesses.
