On Sovereignty, Regulation & “Love and Light”

I’ve been waking up these past few mornings wondering where my intellectual and spiritual boundaries are when it comes to mass pain.

Where do I exist on the stage? And what role, if any, can I assume from it?

I can see where I’m being coaxed outside of my body. Where polarity begins to look like a foothold, even as its foundation is being shaken by events outside of my control.

This is where I choose regulation.

Not as withdrawal, but as positioning — so I can move with discernment.

Because I won’t give away my power while others are having theirs ripped away without a choice.

I know some people call this spiritual bypassing.

The way I see it, spiritual bypassing is when something in your personal experience requires resolution and you co-opt a spiritual teaching to ignore it.

Bypassing relieves you of emotional labor.

What I’m doing is noticing what work is within reach.

Some say “love thy enemy.” I’ll attest that doing so without conscious, aligned action can lead to harm or prevent real change.

But as I love myself and choose sovereignty, divine love shows up with a much greater reach and bigger hands.

“Love and light” became a pejorative at some point in a world that forgot what they are — and what they can do.

If there’s one thing 𝘐 can do, it’s to remind myself every day where my power lives — and what love and light truly are when they’re embodied.
