Our Balance Within Helps to Create Balance Without—In All Our Systems

Our planet is in a time of great change.

Behaviour that has been hidden, that has occurred here for centuries, behaviour not of love, is being brought to the surface, exposed for us to view.

But what to do . . . with the perpetrators . . . ? What about accountability . . . ?

Our prisons are not great places of healing.

We have teachers working to reform them, such as Ginny Burton with The Gabriel Plan, and Fritzi Horstman and the Compassion Prison Project, but there is still a long way to go.

For our own inner work, the Buddha and Lao Tzu in their teachings in The Divine Mother’s Guidebook, Home to the Heart, How Things Work in the Higher Realms, explain compassion and humility. It starts with our own accountability—and then we create that in our without, our physical reality—as within so without.

Here is what the Budhha says:

Compassion is so key because when there is compassion there is awakening because there is the latitude to explore.

So, let us use this example of the perpetrators; when they are not being bombarded by the old paradigm of fault, blame, separation, control, it creates a crack, and an opening for them to begin to realize that they are Loved and Lovable.

So, might there be a separation? Yes, but that is not the human desire, the collective desire. You have been most ambitious in your declarations for the collective.

According to the higher realms, we humans, as a collective, decided we will all go together in our Ascension—that means everyone, all of us who have behaved well and who have not—we are here, on planet, to ascend together into the higher ways of being.

And we are here to create this. The Mother is not waving a magic wand and all is healed. We are here to create this working with each other.

The Buddha continues:

Now, does this mean that everybody will have laid down their guns or their hatreds?

Well, yes, it does, because there is no room where there is Love. It is just the antithesis where the perpetrator becomes the apologist and the apologist becomes the accept-or of their actions.

He does say there are reparations.

Is there reparation? Yes, there is, and it is accepted in the spirit in which it is offered, with compassion. It doesn’t mean that there is a magic wand and you say, “Today everybody changes and all is forgiven.”

You know that is not the Law of Karma, even during this time of Karmic Dispensation. There is the balancing out, but it cannot balance out until there is forgiveness, self forgiveness, and then forgiveness of one another.

Forgiveness does not mean forgetting because you never want to repeat certain atrocities but it does mean that the edge, the vicious razor’s edge of pain, is not present.

The Buddha reminds us the higher realms are close helping us through this enormous change on planet:

We are capable of softening that with and for you as you move through this transition. So, it is not simply a human undertaking, we are all very much in service with you.

He asks us to sit still with him in the heart, to do the work with ourself, and then to venture forth—to have the deep awareness of the non-judgement of the self and others—understanding we don’t need to be absolutely perfect at this.

When you have unweighted yourself under the Bodhi Tree of everything, then you are free to stand up without carrying the burden bundle on your back that is so heavy that you feel that you could not come and walk with me and travel to the villages, the towns, the Cities of Light saying, “Look, we bear good news!”

Lao Tzu explains humility and non-judgement in a way we are not used to hearing:

First, you give gratitude that you have not walked that path, and yes, to understand that the axe murderer or the bomber or those who commit what you know are the most heinous acts, they arrived with the purity of grace in their souls, and it did not die.

It did not become lost.

Was it ignored or covered? Yes, but you see:

The danger when you judge somebody else, you are judging yourself.

So, you say, “Well, that person is a murderer, and look what they have done, and they are horrible, and they need to be punished.”

Lao Tzu carries a gnarled wooden stick that he balances on his finger. He says when we judge each other we lose our balance:

What you have immediately done is move out of the balance, the stick is tilting one way, and then what you are doing is you are setting yourself up so that you have to be ‘holier than thou’ and that you cannot dare misstep because then you have to put yourself in the same categories as those you have judged, and that is very painful.

He asks us to see the higher perspective, even a positive outcome . . . with our non-judgement:

Now, the other thing, each journey has many, many twists and turns, and sometimes what I have found is helpful is that you look at what that heinous crime has created.

Has there been, in any way, a positive outcome?

And you look to that because there is a part of you that does not want to credit the murderer with the positive outcome.

You want to take credit for those who have risen to the occasion, but the catalyst for that positive behaviour has come from what you judge as negative, so truly it is safer and more rewarding internally to simply never go to judge, to say, “I am compassionate because you have lost your way.”

He says we are not to take on “burden” of another—to be in balance within—so we can send Love and healing, not caught in our own wheel of anger and anxiety, shame and guilt triggered by what we are witnessing.

We can step back, assess, and send the energy of change while holding the highest vision for humanity.

Now, that does not mean that you take on the burden of that person.

It simply means that you send them that wonderful energy of healing, of acceptance, and Love, because they have lost their way, and in that they are not knowing the joy of why they came, and that is terrible.

That is a terrible, terrible experience to lose your way in such a dramatic fashion.

Ginny Burton, a former addict who works in the Tennessee prison system, had this to say on a recent podcast with Tucker Carlson. She says it is not a top-down solution to heal our brokenness, the extreme addiction issues we are seeing, but a shift within the system, from the ones there:

The common response from a voter or a taxpayer, or just your average community member, when they are walking over bodies, where they have a family member that’s affected—I have been contacted by people all over the world when they saw my pictures—and their question is always, ‘What can I do?’

. . . if you’ve never been strung out on drugs, how in the hell are you going to know where to start? Well, you don’t.

In order to do that, we have to have the right people in the right places, and I truly believe that the only way for us to redevelop a system is to influence the lives of those who make up that system. We cannot have a top-down solution.

Honestly, if you haven’t been to hell, you don’t know how to navigate your way out of it . . .

I’ve got to be able to help the people that make up the system change their lives. Then, when we show the numbers and the cost effectiveness, then maybe we can do a shift.

. .  you know what makes the most sense to me, being able to contribute to the thriving of the people who would be released from institutions . . .

So, thank you for having me, Tucker. I really appreciate your attention to this.

In her new book, The Gabriel Plan, Ginny says,

We are funding helplessness instead of teaching self sufficiency.

The current system loves people like victims. We must love them like warriors.

And here is Fritzi Horstmann’s vision of all prisons transformed from punitive human warehouses into rehabilitative environments:
