As we experience the influence of the Aries Full Moon, it's pretty clear—we've awakened our collective Spiritual Warrior—and in this particular cultural and political time frame, the battle is about the rights of women.
If you've been born a woman in this lifetime, you've probably experienced:
• Misogyny
• Unequal pay
• Unequal opportunities
• Old boys networks
• Rape culture
• Incest
• Violence
• Blaming the victim
• Shaming the victim
• Not being believed
I know that many of you reading this right now, have experienced sexual violence in your life. I am one of you.
If you haven't experienced this, consider yourself extraordinarily fortunate. I invite you to open your heart to hold compassion for those who have.
So, what happens now?
If you've been or are being victimized, maybe you're ready to tell someone. You can tell a friend or a sympathetic family member. If you fear you might be in danger, you can contact www.rainn.org for resources.
To be spiritual does not mean to be passive.
We are meant to be active participants in our lives.
We are meant to stand for each other.
Finally, although this post is about women, all kinds of people in this world have been marginalized. We are all part of collective soul.
