The searching out and deliberate harassment of those (as political opponents) with unpopular views<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nA witch hunt occurs when the general population has developed such an overpowering fear and repulsion of a concept or idea that it becomes an opportunity for us to band together to fight \u201cthe big bad\u201d – whatever that \u201cbad\u201d might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The traditional witch hunt period is considered to have lasted for 300 years and resulted in an estimated 50,000 executions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you imagine the damage done by 50,000 executions? By generation after generation after generation living in absolute terror of their neighbour proclaiming they are a witch? Necessitating fake pleasantries and caution to everyone because you never know who might turn on you tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine the terror of following your own family\u2019s medicinal healing remedies only to be thrown in jail the next day. Imagine having a lucky hunch on something and then being punished for being \u201cpsychic and manipulative\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imaging going to bed every night never knowing if tonight might be the night you, or your partner, or your mother, is attacked by an angry mob and thrown to the bottom of the ocean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where mass hysteria leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where outrage above humanity leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witch Wound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Many people reading this blog will identify with the premise of a \u201cwitch wound\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
600 years after the start of the witch hunts and we\u2019re only just now starting to be able to heal and unwind the fears of speaking out, fears of trusting our intuition, fears of being empowered as women, as sexual and sovereign beings. We\u2019re only just now starting to understand the multiple generations of trauma, abuse, and neglect that resulted from these witch hunts. We\u2019re only just starting to see the way mass hysteria on this level pushed back women, silenced them, masculinized some, and hampered our individual evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now, we\u2019re on the verge of a similar mass hysteria situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Witch Hunts peaked in the Early Modern period. A time characterized by religious, economic, and social upheavals and crises. Sound familiar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a time when anyone can snap a photo at an inconvenient angle and have it get someone fired on the other side of the world, we have to ask ourselves – what do we hold sacred?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do we stand for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are we so terrified of our own shadow; so exhausted from the social, political, economic environment; so beaten up by the last three years; that we\u2019ve forgotten our humanity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, I feel we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who are the Real Victims? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n What this Dalai Lama Tongue situation shows me is not that the Dalai Lama is a Chinese-Reptilian Agent fighting against the 12D, nor that he is a predator of any capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It shows me that we, as a Western Society, are lost<\/strong>. We are scared. We are easily manipulated. We have lost our own connection to truth. Our fears are keeping us stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are so caught up in victim mentality that we\u2019re willing to jump on the first sight of trouble outside of us. We\u2019re in so much internal pain and conflict from three years of terror that we\u2019re thinking backwards, upside down, and inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let it be known that the victim mentality only creates more victims.<\/strong> The witch hunt trials created nothing but incredible fear and snitching mentality (and, a lot of deaths).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey did not create a safer community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They did not save children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They did not stop abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They did not help us move forward into a more loving, compassionate, truthful, trusting, and just society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead they created mass fear. Panic. Distrust in self and others. Secrecy. Severe lack of justice. Abuse. Torture. Theft of Property. Distrust of natural healing methods and connection to nature. The loss of many, many powerful shamanic, metaphysical, and healing practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of saving our children the witch hunts created generational trauma.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd here we are, nearly 600 years from the beginning of the witch hunt period, reliving the same experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of localized, we are globalized. Instead of pagan rituals and naturopathic remedies, we now fear $3xual energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We just can\u2019t wait<\/strong> for another news story to pop off about this leader or that celebrity doing something dirty. We\u2019re hungry horses; chomping at the bit salivating as we wait for another distraction that we can use to project all the ugly feelings we have inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFeed us the Dalai Lama so we can forget that we wake up every day terrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serve us The President on a golden platter so we can go to bed feeling justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spoon us the Athlete, the MP, the News Anchor, the Teacher, the Next Door Neighbour – give us ANYTHING to make the pain go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flash-in-the-pan survival doesn\u2019t look good on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where has our humanity gone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point here is not to argue the validity or invalidity of these events. It is simply to point out that you, as the person reading this blog post, were probably not there. Therefore, the hard truth is that you have no FUCKING CLUE what actually happened.<\/strong> And even if you did, you are neither judge, jury, nor persecutor. Get off your goddamned self-righteous high horse and remember that the person in question is a fallible human, just like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to the Hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n I ask you: if such an image of you and your family were to magically show up on the internet one day, how would you feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What would your life look like if an innocent photo of you playing with your child was manipulated at an inconvenient angle and sent to local authorities or ended up on the local news? How would you respond to enraged media screaming \u201cHow could you touch YOUR SON like that?!\u201d when all you can do is squeak \u201cbut we always play like that – it\u2019s just a bad angle, you see. The photo is out of context. It wasn\u2019t really like that<\/em>\u201d as handcuffs are slapped on your wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYour life forever, irreparably changed because a stranger happened upon a bad angle. Your son traumatized not from a bad play session with his mother but from the thousands of hours of inquiry, the flashing cameras, and the implications that she would do something harmful to him in the first place. A family broken – just like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And a frenzy fed. A population happy. News that was watched and purchased, journalists who made their career by having the first tip. Regardless of the outcome for your family the people got what they wanted – another person to project on. But you, what did you get? What did your son get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a reality that is not far off from our current thread of development, my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where mass hysteria leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where outrage over humanity will take us, and this is only just the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t care to extrapolate this example all the way into the full implications of the witch hunt era with today\u2019s modern day technology and globalization. Those of you with active imaginations or Netflix account I\u2019m sure will get to that point on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point is this: the witch hunt must stop. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOutrage over humanity has never in our history led somewhere desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it starts with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As one changes, the collective changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As one says no, the collective says no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We empower each other, we support each other, we lean on each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as mob mentality can cause us to riot and destroy, it can also bring us back to our love and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time to stop giving our energy to 7-second edited clips designed to distract, torment, and outrage us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time to come back to our humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s time to remember, to ask ourselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
