“Enlightenment is a destructive process. enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true- from ourselves to the world.
Awakening on the level of the mind is the destruction of your entire world. What is destroyed is our own worldview- all the ways we are conditioned, all of our belief structures, all the belief structures of humanity...
‘The world needs to be a particular way.’ Awakening on the level of mind is a complete destruction of all of this, and thus our entire world.”
Adyashanti

TW: SA

Every day I get up & I tuck my trauma away in its safe little pocket just so I can get through the day. It’s not conscious- it’s built in survival.

The triggers used to be few & far between. Now it’s almost daily. The onslaught, the pummeling, it’s overwhelming.
It doesn’t matter how much I heal- the wound will always be there.
We live in a world where SV & misogyny is normalized in every way- from TV & movies to news.
It’s so normalized that the majority of women have internalized it- and many defend it

Much like the hell we continue to see affecting so many people here in the US & around the world, buried under the systems of oppression, this, too, feels like too much.
Why does it feel like it’s getting so much worse?
It’s not- it’s just being exposed.
It’s up to those who benefit from the oppression to wake up, do the inner work, reject our privilege, and burn these systems down.
Like anything traumatic or toxic, Things are going to keep getting louder until we listen. We have opportunity after opportunity to heal these wounds & create new systems & new patterns of relating. Every time we look away & do nothing things will get worse until we change how we navigate them.
It’s up to us.

(Though SA & misogyny overwhelmingly is violence against women perpetrated by men, it does also affect trans people & men.)

April 8, 2026
Over 100 strikes in 10 minutes
362+ martyred
Thousands injured, many more displaced
Entire cities wiped off the map (Apple & Google updating in real time)
Settlers claiming land they just b0mbed
An entire country labeled terr0rist as justification

The same excuses, the same playbook, the same global response
It’s still happening
Silence
No sanctions, no outrage, no accountability

Why do some lives matter more to the world?

I’m exhausted & drained. Everything feels so heavy. My heart physically hurts.
We’re not meant to hold all of this. We’re not meant to keep going like life is normal while the world burns down around us. While gen0cide after gen0cide happens.
This is not ok.

The spiritual community, as a whole, silent. It’s so disappointing.

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t have the energy to move my body. But I need to find a way because all the emotions are stuck.

I pray for the people & animals of 🇱🇧
May they live a life of peace on their own lands

I hope to see you on Friday!
We’ll be on Zoom but you can watch the recording later too.

I’m not ok.
This isn’t normal. How are we supposed to act like nothing is happening? The world is on fire & we’re having regularly scheduled programs.
The silence is deafening.
