It's a fascinating conundrum: how do we exact change in another when they are oppressing and even brutalising you? If not to judge, condemn and fight back, then what will catalyse change in the other?

It's entirely understandable that you would want to push back, and stand firm against injustice. I'd say that's absolutely necessary. But then to castigate, polarise and condemn the other as a being, what does that achieve? It makes many shadow identities merely bunker down and resist the shift to higher consciousness even harder. The shadow embeds and the warring continues.

However, what if I take the energy projected my way and use it to strengthen me at a soul level? What if I develop to the point where I can withstand any injustice or oppression and not need the construct I'm living in even be just? What if I can find a deep, fathomless level of surrender and grace in the oppression and abuse?

What if I can look in the eyes of my opressor, as he is abusing me, with this grace and show him that I am not diminished by his actions, but rather compassionately emboldened by them? What if, because of this, I can then even love my enemy in the moment he is brutalising me, because I can see and feel his pain. And I know that I am beyond that. My soul is now expanding through it. Who now truly is the victim?

This is something I realised in a past life in the midst of being genetically modified against my will.
