"The heart doesn’t do vengeance - it can hold fury and grief and an absolute commitment to stopping harm without needing to inflict suffering in return. " Thank you for sharing your clarity of vision, your open heart. At times, it is so 'easy' to react, to 'fire back'.

I saw a comment to this post on Facebook. I will choose to respond to the poster here even if they may not read it.
At this point, I believe, that we are way beyond the point of calling what we are facing political disagreement or "politics." I wish that it were that simple. We are facing an unprecedented assault on human rights, democracy and our freedoms, at least in modern times. The constitution itself is under attack. Our environment, our forests, our clean air and our water are sold out to the moneyed interests of a few, with disastrous effects.
People of all political persuasions, faiths and classes should be concerned.
All of this is done by authoritarians who want absolute power, in the image of the dictators of old, going by the same playbook. They are not driven by political ideology but by utter corruption and predatory and ruthless and cruel insatiable lust for power.
I believe that we are in such a big mess that we need to try something new to solve the problems we face. We have tried the violent revolutions and attempts to overthrow the dictators, kings, emperors and popes of the past many times before, always giving rise to yet another dictator.
It really does feel like times are shifting. Something new is being asked of us. Now hopefully, we are able to begin learning the hard lessons of life gained over many generations and lifetimes by acknowledging what does not work. Digging deep into ourselves, I believe that we will find the spiritual resources of Love and wisdom and wherewithal to come together across the traditional divides to dissolve this "evil" within and without, and probably over time. It will have to be a new kind of Love, that is not tribal or possessive our solely for self-interest. Growing pains and birthing pains seem to be a part of this sacred journey.
Now is not the time to stick our head in the sand. I think that we have a duty to stay informed (according to capacity), but love ourselves and each other through, when we are faced with the devastation of what is happening around us.
I am so grateful to have found Wizard. Thank you for your incredible work of compiling all of this information but also for your profound wisdom and power to inspire. I share your posts freely with friends and we are all so moved and learn so much from you.
Thank-you for this heartfelt response. Yes, I do believe this moment requires us all to participate. I guess what that looks like exactly is up to each of us individually. We are each called to play our part, like instruments in a giant orchestra. May we tune in to the deepest part of ourselves so we know the notes to play. xx
Whoa! So much I resonate with, I feel at capacity this morning. Every word I wanted to savor and yet I kept thinking more? How do I hold it all together and absorb it into my knowing for future reference. Then the realization “you already know it in your heart, soul, your beingness. The momentum will continue to expand and evolve. It is already a part of you” There is truly no going back, and for that I am glad.
Thank you for your writings and sharing. For me it is profound.
Sometime during the first part of this text, my tears began to flow, and my heart felt as if it wanted to shatter into a thousand pieces. It was only because there was no more room in my body for all those pieces that it refrained from doing so. May my tears represent all those who, for whatever reason, can no longer cry.
I totally agree. So many tears. So much to feel. And we must let ourselves feel it all. Let it flow through us, and allow it all to be transmuted - the pain is fuel for our heart’s fire. We’ll need it for what comes next. xx
So here is my question. Or thought. Those people who have done atrocious unthinkable things….and the poor people that they were inflicted on.
The victims deserve some sort of justice and the perpetrators need to be held accountable. How do we do this from an open heart? How do we ensure that they don’t get away with their actions without consequences or god forbid, be able to continue?
I know in my own little micro world, I am no longer angry at the people who voted for this current shit show. I have simply chosen to stop sharing my energy or sending my energy there. I have come to understand that in some cases, they are un-enlightened victims themselves. So acquaintances or even former friends, I no longer engage with them. I just have closed that door, turned away and sent my energy elsewhere, anchored from love and moving towards projects to improve myself and help others also.
As far as celebrities, I have never really been very engaged with them but if it is someone who I may have liked formerly, I now just pay no attention to them. I send no energy there.
So how do we hold those Epstein perpetrators accountable from an open heart? Simply not sending energy there will not hold them accountable or stop them.
I guess I am just unsure how to move forward from the heart without just ignoring it all. Which I do not want to do.
I wrote about this a while ago in one of my “Letters from the New Earth.” The astrology of the next hundred years gives us some clues as to what justice in the future might look like, as we move into a world led by the heart, where we can each feel each other more deeply through the golden threads that bind us. I wrote it like this: “In our world today, we remember what you have forgotten: justice is not retribution, it is repair. When harm arises, we do not bury the wrongdoer, nor cast them into cells of silence. We bring them into sanctuaries - circles of mirrors and witnesses, where truth cannot be hidden and cruelty cannot survive the light. Here, they are not asked for pleas or verdicts, but for an answer to one question alone: What drew you out of your soul’s alignment? They remain not by chains, but by choice, for imbalance is agony, and when surrounded by love and clarity, the hunger for coherence grows stronger than the fear of change. We do not measure justice by obedience but by resonance. We do not seek to punish, but to restore. To bring the song of the whole back into tune.” Ultimately, justice has always been about balance, but in the Age of the Mind, we sought to restore balance through punishment, pain, suffering and deterrence. We came to believe that some people just need to be thrown away, but that’s not a belief you can hold when you keep an open heart. The piece of the story being overlooked at the moment is “How did these monsters get like this?” Somehow, something within them got out of balance. It’s right and fair that they should be excluded from society as they have acted against the collective - the question is, should they live in anguish and torment, having the suffering they inflicted on others inflicted on them? Or, is the purpose of exclusion to seek to bring them back into balance, not for their benefit as much as for the collective. If one is out of harmony, all is out of harmony, for all is one. And you cannot harm another without harming yourself. This is a loaded topic, but an important one. I believe we must wrestle with our understanding of justice in the coming years, and come into an understanding of what it looks like in a heart-led world. https://www.wizard-withwords.com/p/letters-from-2125-after-the-collapse?r=3cr3ye
I am sure Wiz will have wiser words, but for me I think bearing witness is important. And pushing for complete disclosure. I would like to see the people who caused this going to jail, but I think at this point that just sets me up for disappointment. But making sure the entire truth gets told, names get named, and we bear witness to the truth of what the victims were saying is where light lives. The truth will set us free. Anything less keeps us covering for evil. Once the full truth is known, the rest of the world will shun the evil doers and we will move into love without them.
I have thought about this too. And this may seem odd, but I wish that we could surround the perpetrators with so much intense light that some of them would finally open to admitting that what they did was wrong, telling the truth of what was done, and paying back the people they harmed and giving back to the world so that we can finally end all this violence.
I also just read a super cool Thread where it encourages telling the trees and water and crows. The orcas and the dolphins. I thought that was so beautiful.
It’s a struggle for sure. TBH, I don’t want to see the perpetrators suffering but I do want justice . I do want to see them have their day in court and be judged guilty with some sort of consequence—or better yet, that some sort of retributions were given to the survivors. Not that ANYTHING , would be enough for what they suffered…but they deserve that moment of acknowledgement.
In a way, Jasmine Crockett kinda did what you wrote about in the Letters to Bondi. She held that mirror up to her harshly. Fiercely. It did seem to get through as Bondi appeared to shed a genuine tear. Idk.
Also I find this personally so motivating, asking myself, “what is the change I want to be in the world… what is my part in building this new world.” How cool is that?? 🤗🤗 I hope you are well. I hope you are feeling uplifted. I trust that the Grace that you are obviously channeling is supporting and protecting you…❤️ sending you loving support. Thanks for being this important mouthpiece!
Oh, so good…. Thank you for delineating the important path forward… may we all see it, Rise to it, shining our light and spreading it on that path as we move forward, fearlessly and with grace. May it be so, it is so. Blessings, Sir.❤️
Thank you for another brilliantly heartful essay! As a retired teacher who made a point of trying to awaken and foster heart intelligence in the classroom (in whatever ways I could figure out, often experimental) I am convinced that a radical transformation of our educational system is in order. Sadly, many children grow up without the kind of emotional heart-based support required to keep them connected to their feelings. Our current public school system is a mirror image of the very illness that you so vividly describe here, the mind operating without connection to the heart. This must be addressed, and I pray that the changes in the sky will soon begin to be reflected in the way we structure our schools, both in terms of content and focus but also form - a complete metamorphosis in how we define and implement education.
I believe this is coming - an entirely new system, not teaching kids how to use their minds, but how to lead with their hearts. Watch what happens over the next twenty years…..major change ahead.
Thank you Wiz for words that are beyond wisdom. They unveil the mystery that is ever present in the human experience [whether 'good or bad'] and while they give me hope, they remind me that action is required on my part. Daily action to choose my response, choose to breath deeply when I want to lash out. Choose love.
As I was reading this, the tagline from one of my favorite tv series, Friday Night Lights, resonated in my head: “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.”
So...where is Justice for the children in all of this? I see what you are saying, but how can these monsters be allowed to remain? We KNOW they can't be rehabilitated, so where do they reside in our world, once we make the Coherence leap?
It’s a really good question, with an uncomfortable answer. In a heart-led world, where we all can feel each other through the connection of our hearts, it will not be possible for us to harm one another without harming ourselves. The thought of letting someone rot in prison cell to ensure they suffer for the things they have done will be unthinkable, for the pain it would inflict on ourselves. As we evolve, we will come to remember the justice is not about punishment as much as it is about restoring balance - bringing things back into harmony. People must be held accountable for their actions, but how we do that matters. Excluding people from our society who cause harm to others - who choose disharmony - that is more than acceptable, but in a heart-led world that exclusion would be for the purpose of rehabilitation, not retribution. I wrote a little more about this (probably more eloquently) here - https://www.wizard-withwords.com/p/letters-from-2125-after-the-collapse?r=3cr3ye
