Hello,
This is a short talk on the topic of fallen idols.
Now what do I mean by that?
So It could be somebody that you've looked up to for a really long time a family member a friend a partner anybody The way that they conduct themselves Is honorable You trust Their intentions you assume and it's a healthy thing How they act or think or feel and this gives you safety and security and something to look up to because you trust That their best interests Are for you and you might ask them for advice go to them for counsel any number of things and they might offer support and help and Aid when you most need it Now the same could be true of establishments organizations governments Any sort of social structure that our world is pretty full of that you look up to that you put your faith in and there might be individuals within that who you aspire to or Inspire you Equally there might also be components of yourself parts of your character ways that you regard yourself as a charitable individual or someone who loves all those who come into their path All of these things can be true but As we bring unconscious parts of ourselves of our society And As significant others in our lives bring unconscious parts of themselves into their consciousness Digging deep or revealing that Shadow however you would like to phrase it In that process in that fall of Innocence in the assumption of what was this was a good person.
I am a good person.
They are a good government They are a good politician in that fall We suddenly become conscious of The parts in our identity that were attached to that image that stronghold of moral fortitude or usefulness or purpose How we deal with this of course as always depends on us and whether we labor a negative or a positive process can sometimes hinder the depth and effect and perception shift that can be possible by looking internally when our own idols fall We can understand a little bit better what those things and those ideas held for us what purpose they served We can be too harsh perhaps in judging that person and Actually what they did a politician for example and got caught doing in the public eye That projection of anger at that individual or that event or that thread or that archetype or metaphor Can sometimes be Can sometimes be Coming from the death of innocence in the individuals that held that person or thing in esteem It's like being a teenager when you realize that your parents aren't just your parents,
But they're people too and you begin that period of disillusionment and As we all know in adolescence what happens?
You Know I asked my mum this week.
I ordered something over the phone and The guy who answered the phone was a teenager you could tell and he was just so so grumpy And I was laughing and my mum was laughing and I just tried to be myself not to take it personally because I have Children as well,
But they're not teenagers,
And I asked my mum is that what the deal is with teenagers they?
They're not trying to be rude.
They're just so in their own zone and my mum said yeah,
Of course They need to do that because they need to work out who they are So when it comes to your idols in that process of realizing that your parents are individuals When you realize perhaps a guru has more shades to him or her than at first meets the eye or that it isn't just as simple as You know one thing good one thing bad It can be a complicated process because it's hard sometimes to let go of those Marker posts that we've placed within our own thinking that help us navigate this world.
You know the green man means go You would teach that to a child wouldn't you But I'm sure you can think of a thousand freak situations Where a person would be better off going when the red man shows?
So when it comes to the disillusionment of your idols as quite a lot of people are experiencing at the moment and as you You know travel through yourself and find parts of you that are bitter or envious or jealous The last thing they need is you wading in and trying to save them The alchemy the magic the transformation comes when you're able to witness those parts And just allow them to come out back into the light back into awareness and back out to play Everyone is awakening from their collective trauma of that disassociation from purpose from meaning from love So as your idols fall in the public eye or in your private life Try your best to be a person who is Try your best to love them all the same but as a whole And Recognize where you're mourning the death of that perfect image that you held for so long And don't criticize yourself,
Okay I always think that the thing some people say in England here is like how that person's so ignorant I was thinking about it the other day.
It's it doesn't make sense because you you can't really blame somebody For not knowing what they don't know So as you bring parts of yourself into awareness And you get a different perspective about actions that you take in relationships that you've had you know Don't go a step too far and create a narrative around Being yourself up for that or why you shouldn't have done it or reinforcing the fact about why you did just let it be and Know that it's a part of you asking to come up into healing so in relationships and especially intimate ones as You see in your partner or significant other?
You know where they're reacting unconsciously Just Hold that in your awareness with love As if it's a child that's been hurt waiting to come back out to play They're not gonna be able to play if you hold an expectation about what is right That's not to say don't hold an expectation or an understanding about Where your limits are But the time of my stuff your stuff I think it's coming to a close And as we move into this collective Or indeed if that's where you're setting your intention Ask yourself how that's reflecting to you And what parts of yourself are coming out from the unconscious back into the light You are your own idol after all You are your own hero You will always be the medicine that you need So much love to you all and I'll see you again soon Bye for now
