Satan’s masterplan is working

okay, i know that’s a dramatic subject line — and NO, I haven’t become one of THOSE people — but I did write an old school style allegory that involves the Big Bad One.

check out out.

< The Allegory of Stymied Healers >

The Supreme Creator of the Universe saw the world, and saw that humans were suffering from pain.

Creator said: “Hmm… I don’t want them to suffer. But I cannot go personally help each one of those people. Whatever shall I do?”

“Wait, I know! I’m going to create humans who are also HEALERS and WISDOM GIVERS so they can relieve the suffering of humankind!”

So, Creator went to work and made all kinds of healers and wisdom givers, in every color, in every culture, and in every gender. They were pleased to see this.

The healers were then set free to begin to help other humans. It was going great!

Humans were finding their way to healing, wholeness, joy, creativity, connection, starting to remember their true nature as Love embodied.

But… someone had a problem with this.

It was Satan.

Satan looked around and said, “Wait, what’s happening? Why are all these people starting to suffer less? It was perfect before when everyone was in pain! These damn healers… I gotta do something about this.”

Here was a wrinkle.

Satan couldn’t just “get rid of” the healers because the Supreme Creator already installed them, and he couldn’t destroy the Creator’s creation or intention.

So, he had to come up with a clever way to stop them without destroying them, AND cover his tracks.

He brainstormed day and night.

One day, on his morning walk along the bank of the scenic River of Misery, he suddenly slapped himself in the forehead.

“I GOT IT!!!” The perfect plan came to him in a flash of satanic inspiration.

“I might not be able to kill off the healers… but I’m going to mass-hypnotize them into believing that healing work is only legitimate when it’s tied to a lucrative business!”

Satan cackled.

“This way, instead of knowing how and why God made them, they’ll be constantly doubting themselves. And instead of eliminating suffering in the world, they’ll be so occupied ‘trying to get clients’ and ‘grow a successful business’ that they’ll be exponentially increasing their own suffering. After a while, that suffering will begin to eclipse any desire they had to help others! Muahahahah!!!”

Satan continued to plot: “Given enough time, they’ll just give up healing altogether because the rules of conventional business will be so soul-sucking for them, they will be permanently drained of the energy or willingness to do this work.”

“No one will even question this plan, because I’ll hypnotize them into believing that all the ‘chasing material success’ is NOT for their own selfish sake, but the only real way to help people and be seen as a healer. Which means they can never escape it. It is the perfect plan!!!!”

Satan thought, smiling ear to ear: “I have to say, this is one of my all-time best ideas.”

So, he went to his workroom, the penthouse of the high rise behind the Gates of Hell.

He created an excellent mass hypnosis, and unleashed it upon the populace. Then he went to bed feeling very satisfied with himself.

A while later, Satan went to check up on what’s happening on Earth.

He was delighted to see his plan was working PERFECTLY.

The healers had gotten super confused.

The healers were caught up in a frenzy of “marketing” that felt weird and off to them, and they told themselves they weren’t allowed to stop. And the more they did it, the less connected they felt to their own healing powers.

Instead of leading with their healer hearts, they were taught to hide inside certain boxes and masks to be “professional” and “profitable”, which meant no one who was looking for a healer’s heart could even find one.

One by one, the healers gave up.

They went back to living as though they were NOT healers, and even when they occasionally did healing things here and there, their actions were plagued with doubt and shame.

That meant nobody healed. And everyone suffered.

Satan looked at all this, giggled, and said, “I am so good, I sometimes scare myself.”

****

If you are reading this, break the spell of the mass hypnosis now.

This is your cue.

The Supreme Creator is infinitely stronger than the Deceiver. Claim the truth of your inheritance.

Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

P.S. — The Way of the Dragon drops its 2nd lesson of the 5-part series today. Last week, we explored the fundamental nature of soul power. This week, we are exploring authentic compassion and how we can access power through it.

It is going to be fascinating, mind-bending, and liberating.

It’s not too late to jump in. Join us. 

3 tiers of critics

There are 3 different types of critics.

Learn how to tell them apart, and you’ll save yourself massive amounts of trouble.

Tier 1. People who don’t like you and have no intention of taking the risk of actually relating to you

Think: behind-your-back gossipers, or people who leave nasty comments about celebs whom they have ZERO chance of meeting in person. This is a true hater, whose hating is bolstered by the convenience of extremely low accountability, and never having to confront the other’s humanity. People who feel truly whole and well in their lives do not do this. What they need to work out doesn’t involve YOU. It involves them getting a therapist.  Action step: tune them out. Send them love and healing. Protect your energy.

Tier 2. People who have feedback and THINK they’re relating to you, but are actually making demands.

Relating starts with the genuine willingness to meet the other person where they are, and understand them as they would wish to be understood. Any message where what they’re really saying is “I don’t like you or what you are doing. Please submit to to my demand for you to change or do something differently so that you can make me comfortable”, there is no relating, just an attempt to control. There is also no willingness to take responsibility for their own experience.

Action step: if they’re like, an online rando, ignore, let that shit bounce off of your force field, and move gingerly past them.

If they’re someone who is actually in your life, and maybe even close to you, or maybe even someone you love (it happens! Sometimes we do it to people we love, too!), and depending on your desire snd capacity, you may decide to hold loving space for them to “let them be” and do their thing without giving into them.

Easier said than done, I know.  

Or sometimes, you gotta cut that person out of your life. There is too much nuance for me to give blanket advice regardless of context. You gotta exercise your discernment from a place of self-love and self-respect. 

Tier 3. People who have uncomfortable feedback and come to you with the willingness to truly relate.

How you know this is the case: they are taking responsibility for their stuff. There is no dumping-and-demanding. There’s no “you made me feel/do ____ therefore you should ____.”

And there is respect, openness and possibility in the conversation, even if it is a difficult one.… and the genuine efforts to get to know you where you are, and be known for where they are.

Action step: Whenever this happens, I do everything possible to be available for what they are bringing me — even when it bruises my ego or makes me confront stuff I’d rather avoid. ESPECIALLY when, because that’s when learning and deepening happen. 

The desired conclusion is not “everyone holding hands and singing kumbaya,” but people moving closer to their respective truths, and a more authentic relationship between the two parties. Sometimes that results in “happy endings.” Not always. And that’s okay. 

(remember, this is just me sharing what I do in hopes it may help to inspire your own discernment. This is NOT a prescription for all of humanity)

Many of us try to prove or earn our worthiness by people-pleasing those in tiers 1 and 2. This is called fawning.

This is not only exhausting and unpleasant, but guaranteed to fail. You cannot earn your worthiness by performing for others’ good opinion, because (1) you do not have power over others’ thoughts, and (2) your worthiness is not dependent on what is happening inside another’s brain and nervous system. 

Your worthiness is inherent, infinite, and non-negotiable.

You are an important being that is worthy of being cherished, full stop. You are not for everyone, and you are not responsible for everyone’s comfort, full stop. 

Respect for yourself, your time, and energy is where responsible community stewardship begins. 

Knowing this deeply is how we unlock our greatest potential for accountability.
