The Rape of Fears The Fears of Rape

There is a trail that leads from an origin point of grounding in a notion from a story to the actual heart that inspires and spurs a man, or woman to rape another. My travels into that dark realm as a student of life, a scientist of my soul, and a healer of my own soul discovered some of the stories that create the dark red energies of a rapist.

Understanding the nature of a rapist begins understanding the dark nature of what is good about ourselves. It is the dare to begin a probing journey into the story of the stories we believe in. Outside of this is trying to legislate the distortion of the a person's being, his soul. It can't be done. We've tried to legislate racism. Racism is the affair of the heart, the rigidity of the mind, and it is bondage from origin stories told over and over again. Most don't seem to see the gap in effectively eradicating rape from the human soul is an enormous misunderstanding of wholeness. They are unable to see fear swirling around intelligent strategies used by popular vote to demonized rape. What this does is obscure clarity of mind and further distances people, victims in particular, from seizing the powers needed in this struggle, which is really a struggle from within each of us! Rape is about taking what isn't yours, and the conquest of Europe, for example, was one of taking what wasn't theirs to own. That spirit visited upon this land of my ancestors, Turtle Island, invaded the sensibilities of centuries of spiritual traditions foreign to the invaders. Do you see the correlation?

Rape is fed by fears, and social media, and public outrage feed the demon and tell the rapist himself that no one will enter the realm of spiritual work to confront, understand, know and strategically disassemble the fortifications rapists hold over societies and people's lives and imaginations.

I support the public and political agendas to end rape, but they are shallow and not truthful in their proclamations of resolution. Those approaches stand on the outside looking at the dragon needing to be slain. David would not have slain Goliath had he not thrown the stone. He would not have thrown the stone with accuracy had he not practiced. He would not have had the wherewithal to think of standing his ground before the giant had he not had a history in his young life of killing beasts in the wild, and he would not have killed those beasts had he not been responsible for the care of his family's flocks of sheep!
