My Soul Spoke of Self-Righteousness

I am trying this new thing where I am trying to hear what my heart has to say. I know it sounds silly but it is a lot harder than you would think. Not to mention with all the programming we undergo daily, if you take the time you will find that you too are most likely making decisions off of fear. Anyways, I try and meditate, I say try because mediation is hard and I don’t entirely understand it, and I set an intention at the beginning. Yesterday I my intention was “What message do I need to get out today"?” I heard self-righteousness. That was strange because I never ever say that phrase which let me know that it was the soul talking and not my programmed brain.

So after googling what exactly my soul meant by “self-rightousness” ( I know don’t judge me) I figured out yeah I know exactly what that is because it is something that has been annoying the shit out of me daily.

We live in a society now where standing up for yourself means you will certainly be cancelled. Isn’t that the craziest shit you ever heard. If your opinion differs from the narrative you will get attacked. Thankfully I don’t know enough people to get hate all day, I’m not sure I have the thick skin for it just yet. Maybe one day. However, my fear doesn’t dictate my opinion. Just because people don’t agree with me does not mean that I will not voice my opinion. Especially when the the entire world crams their opinion down my throat and then patronizes me because I don’t agree with their words.

Self righteousness is so prominent these days and it sickens me. My social media was riddled with self righteous a holes who took their own words as gospel and belittled anyone who thought differently. These were supposed yogi’s who claimed to be above judgement… looks like they need to work on themselves a little more. I ended up not following people who disrespected that I had an opinion of my own. This shouldn't be confused with me putting myself in an echo chamber, because I am absolutely against that. I enjoy people that are much different than me, and despite popular belief I can be friends with people with different views than my own and I think its absolutely bananas that we are living in a society that is this divisive.

I am all for people having their own opinion and speaking their truth, even if I don’t agree with it. By all means have an opinion and scream it from the roof tops, but don’t demand that people agree with you. Think for yourself and stand behind your word with everything you have got. We live in a time where we are convinced that we are much smaller than we actually are. I am making it my mission to take back my power and remember my magic. I encourage you to join me.
