The great debate...good versus evil

It was a tale of good versus evil, well actually it was the other way around from where I was sitting, (at the movies I was) ...so anyway it was the classic tale, the clique that still arouses suspicion for some and for others it holds that age old belief that those that are good and pure, will always triumph.

Lets face it anyone who is negative and aggressive by nature has a very powerful energy about them generally. They thrive on having the upper hand, winning battles and intimidating those who are their polar opposites. They consume other people's energy, they take away their resolve and their positive vibrations,  all in the pursuit of their own power, they're like vampires, always needing that fix to function. I'm going to call them the reptilians!

It takes a very strong person to hold strong in the face of such an attack, it's like it causes our rudder, once straight and strong to go into a wobble. Once that wobble or vibration gets going, it's difficult to right the ship again. Such is the power of negativity when it's arrow is fired directly at you.

Fear kicks in, doubt raises it's ugly head and fight, flight or freeze sets in. From there that shadow can easily consume a person who allows their fear to take the helm. Just like in my movie yesterday, when the banished princess found herself in the midst of the dark forest, all sorts of ooze, slime, and evil and scary critters surrounded her, she was overcome with fear, panicked, ran, scrambled, slithered amongst the mire and in the end with what she saw as no choice,  she gave up, lay down and in that action she relinquished her fear.

I saw it in another movie I was watching recently, the star of the movie spent the whole movie fighting off a pack of ravenous wolves, hell bent on devouring all of the survivors of a plane crash. The star was the last man standing and at the end he had no choice but to give up. So he stood tall, faced his enemy full on,  he personified power and in that moment he relinquished his fear. Well I think he died because the movie ended so perhaps that's not such a good example, but it's saying something to ME. So  what I'm saying is that we so often allow fear to devour us, we loose all sense of reason, of rightness, of goodness and in that action we loose control.

So it seems that often it's only when we have no choice, when we've exhausted every ounce of our fighting spirit that is when we somehow say 'I GIVE UP'.... 'I SURRENDER'...and in that moment it's possible to finally see the light. It's a very scary journey that one of fear and yet if we could in that moment call on our 'knowing' and separate ourselves from that shadow of doubt we could hold the power to change our destiny for the better.

When fear is released so too is anger and hatred and in it's place we can learn to truly experience compassion, acceptance and inevitably joy and I know which state I'd rather vibrate to.
