Domestic Violence Recovery - Channelled Compassion

I have lived with my head bowed, as I have witnessed your derision of your worth.

It causes me pain to see you allow this within your being.

Stand tall and straight and be not a light under a bushel but a beacon.

Are you afraid to shine on others?

This is your job this time, to be an example, not an instrument of their ways.

Let not your light be dimmed by others' darkness.

Let not their fears and prejudices be your guide.

If you want to look at the light, look at yourself, there is none brighter.

If your light is so bright that others must turn away, then so be it.

They are not ready for the self initiation which must be part of their awakening

in order to fulfill their destiny.

Only the strong are needed to stand by you.

If they are not strong enough now, they would falter in the time to come.

These are words of great meaning....'each must raise himself up to the highest...you cannot do it for them.

Only by knowing the weak will you recognise the strong.

Let not your being be sad.

Be happy and give thanks the weak are being shown to you.

Judge not them harshly for they are only rendering to themselves much future hardship.

Each will come to know himself when he deems himself worthy of search.

Until then pity those who walk in the darkness and who run

from the greatest beauty they will ever know - themselves.

Let your strivings cease and live in the love of yourself.

Hold that vision each night and morning. And, your world will draw unto it beings of like mind.

Let not your beauty be hidden and veiled to protect those who are afraid of the truth.

Truth is a blessing to all who understand it's value. Those who do, and who wish to run from the truth are sorry beings indeed.

Find serenity and know this comes from complete acknowledgement of self. Be it what it may.

Be at peace and know that like moths to a flame, you will attract those who wish to 'know', if your light shines brightly without reservation.

Thanks for reading this item. I wrote this in 1994 and am posting it here in 2025.

I channelled this from spirit when my partner had committed suicide after we had been together for 2 years living in the never ending cycle of domestic violence, Seems a world away now but I'm hoping these 'spirit sourced' words may help someone, anyone, today as they did me, as I surveyed the wreckage of addiction, co-dependency, victim shaming and partner suicide.
