Disempowered in the knowledge of our own bodies and our own health; where we can be imbued with such fear from outside that we surrender all autonomy, personal freedom and potentially medical freedom to the powers that be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I know there is a huge swathe of society that has been suppressed through economy, racism and separatism and I really compassionately understand how much harder it is for these people to step into their power without permission and support. But I\u2019m not talking about them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m talking about circles of supposedly empowered leaders and advocates. People whom I used to hear daily, speaking up for truth and health and autonomy and freedom who have utterly surrendered to this suppression in one fatally easy step. These people have disappointed me. They were once people I admired and aspired to, whether in friendship, as peers, mentors, guides or elders. I feel let down by their willingness to accept control governed by fear, not only without a fight but with an inverse righteousness towards anyone who is challenging this horrendous power play. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I see clearly that I am having to let go, that this disappointment has pierced so deeply that those relationships will forever be tainted with it and many will not survive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A new dawn has broken and there is a profound clarity within me as to which path I must take. I can still feel all the love and compassion for the fear these people are carrying but I can no longer hold them as aspirations or role models. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I have withdrawn myself from two significant women\u2019s groups, which were my foundation\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">stones on my personal development journey, to let go of these was something I could never have imagined. But I know if I cling to those bodies of fear for reasons of sentimentality, I will be absorbing that energy myself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I will sit through this disappointment, allow it to suffuse me and move through. It is time for a cleanse like no other, to empower me to stand in my passionate truth and speak up for our global and personal freedoms. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One word keeps hitting me throughout these days of lockdown.
