Mystic Musings: Nonviolent Civil Nonresistance

We’re in a time of tremendous turbulence, and oh, there is so much to resist! There are some really terrible things happening, it’s almost cartoonish how bad the bad guys are. Except they aren’t one dimensional and the plot is much more complicated than any comic can portray.

What’s happening is the old power dynamics are appearing more extreme even as they are in the process of going away. We are witnessing every old ploy in the book, dominance and manipulation, designed to make old white guys more rich and powerful. Part of their technique is to deliberately create crises, intended to throw the rest of us into chaos. We’re riled up because they want to rile us up, and they want to get us emotionally exhausted. Because, in the lower dimensional, old paradigm game, that’s how they “win”.

But here’s the thing, it’s an energetically weak stance, to try to dominate other people. All your power is outside yourself. You’re actually dependant on those people beneath you. No rich man drives his own car, makes his own meals, staffs his companies.

It’s understandable to react to the pain and suffering they’re causing people. But the response shouldn’t be resistance. Resistance energetically attracts that which you are resisting. Resistance gives that which you are resisting more power.

Non resistance is the most powerful stance. It’s a very high vibration that appears transparent. You remain open. Negativity passes through you.

There’s a martial arts called Aikido, which focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement.

So this is a clue how to respond to what’s currently happening in the world. Yes, you can go march, hold signs, get arrested. You can call your congresspeople, make phone calls, sign petitions. But there’s a bigger way to respond.

Take back your power from that which you resist. Do not contribute to anything it represents.  When you stand in non-resistance, you are immensely powerful. Now imagine an entire group of people standing in non-resistance.

The non resistance technique I teach is to make yourself transparent. It energetically opens you so negative energy passes through. It actually feels like your molecules separate. The old name for this technique was ‘body of glass’ but to me glass isn’t a great term, since glass can shatter. In stead, you can think of it like wind blowing through a screen door, or like wearing a Harry Potter type invisibility cloak. You aren’t necessarily invisible (unless you want to be).

What it reveals, also, is that your “opponents” are actually in resistance themselves. They’re coming from a very dense space. They can throw energy at you, but it will have no effect on you. They can charge at you, and you can effortlessly step aside.

How this looks in your daily life is by not reacting to emotional manipulation in the news. By making choices, like economically boycotting stores that belong to or financially contribute to those that represent the denser energies.

The numbers are on your side. Evolution is happening. Light eradicates dark.

When you come from your inner power, you feel no resistance to the power games around you. As you stand in your power, it gives permission to others to be in their power. This is already happening, all you need to do is participate in it. And see how the world transforms!
