About this listen

 In a lot of my work, I talk about the Victim/Aggressor/Savior/Martyr cycle.It seems that this dynamic is coming up to be seen and defined again.Mostly, I have spoken about this cycle in how it is experienced by individuals in their normal life experience, and what they can do to step out of it. But recently, I have been making music, and much of the music I am making is inspired by lineages that many consider to be oppressed, subjected to genocide, and exploited.When writing the lyrics for these particular songs, I found that I had to get past a massive wall of "victim/aggressor." For example, lyrics in rap music will often illustrate the wall of “victim/aggressor” in many different iterations. As I looked at that wall, I saw how the music industry has used it to maintain people in a state of disempowerment. A shrunken awareness, due to a belief that they are powerless over their circumstances because they are an oppressed people, results in their free will choices being made from a less than ideal view point.This made me curious. I mean, why keep a certain faction of the world population in a state of disempowerment? Why spend billions of dollars to target these people and make them think they are powerless and the children of slaves, exile, oppression, and exploitation?That is the bit where I want to shine some light.Our awareness and focus are much more powerful these days, and I am thinking that if we can spot the wall that is created for powerful people - our people on Earth - we can start disassembling this illusion of disempowerment.Why is that important? This is a question that seems redundant. However, when we look behind it, we can see that not everyone on Earth is keen on taking their power back and becoming a sovereign being. If we look too closely, the illusion of being oppressed may crash, and peoples around the world might no longer be kept under chains of their own programs and ideologies. Yes, some actually prefer this experience, and that is a part of this that presents challenges in moving forward to a high-frequency high-caliber population on Earth.The reason I see this tremendous effort to keep these sections of society oppressed is because these are the people who - if awake, aware, and empowered - are the most powerful of all. And I don’t mean power over others, but powerful in their connection with each other and their ability to weave a new paradigm into existence, one we haven't seen on these continents for millennia. Convince the most powerful that they are marginalized victims and powerless in the face of their generational traumas, and they cocreate exactly what they are convinced of.I have done all I can to reach people across the world to deliver the message of empowerment, but my words, articles, and novels are simply not enough. We find that most of the time, even among the most awake of light-beings, my words are twisted out of their original meaning and made into something completely different - or simply forgotten, or the main message just not seen.Because of this, my words are changing. My message is taking on other expressions, such as novels, music, and art. And my articles are less "fluffy" - not in the sense of being aggressive or harsh, but simply going into depths I had not expressed in the past.I am not sure if you consider yourself part of the oppressed peoples of the world, so let me explain. No matter the color of your skin, if you believe yourself to have been victimized - or feel victimized right now - then you are one of them. If you feel that the color of your skin or the sex of your body makes you the bad character of this movie, then you are one of them. You see, for the illusion to work, the narrative needs victims, aggressors, saviors, and martyrs - all of them.Someone, or a people, cannot become the aggressor or the victim in isolation.With that in mind, let’s see how to step out of this cycle. As individuals, it is easy because I have given you the tools to do so for over a decade and a half now. But as peoples of the world, it is slightly different. It requires a bit of mental gymnastics and stepping outside of the light/dark matrix.For that purpose, I created a tool I call 0bservation (yes, with a zero at the start). This is the call to action for this year:The act of 0bservation is when we simply look at a topic, object, or person - in this case, the mantle of victim/aggressor on a people - but do not have any "interaction" with it. We 0bserve and experience the 0bservation of the topic, object, or person but don’t judge it. Thoughts about it are thanked and released; we step out of the way and simply allow the Universe to look at the item through our eyes.Whenever thoughts, emotions, judgments, wants, or feelings come up about this topic, thank them and let them pass through you, saying, “Thank you for expressing.”If one of the thoughts, emotions, judgments, wants, or feelings gets “stuck” in you and you cannot release it ...
