My dearest Plague Rats, my fellow Inmates,
What you see here is one of many blank cards from the #asylumoracle on which I wrote this message and scattered around the city for people to find before the quarantine prevented me from doing so. I have held onto this card, waiting for the day when I can leave it for someone at last. Today is that day, and that someone is you.
If there is only one thing I could say to you for the rest of my life, it is the words on this card, words that represent the greatest thing I have ever learned:
You are a Divine Spirit, whole, unwounded, unbroken, and inherently perfect. Why is this so important to realize, not through "belief" but through direct experience-through going inward and feeling it to be true? Because your spirit recognizes itself (your only true self) in every other. Any person acting as spirit could never be prejudiced against another, because that would be prejudice against themself. They could never be cruel, violent, knowingly unkind or hurtful, think less of or think themselves superior to any other being, because, again, your spirit sees itself in everything and everyone.
What I do to you, I do to me. What you do to me, you do to yourself. Ego and the human mind's identification with it does not recognize this. It blocks us from the realization of our spirit selves, makes people capable of wrong action and perverse thought, and so we find ourselves here, in this painful but incredibly necessary reckoning of centuries of racial injustice and unimaginable brutality.
In my *BIO* is a link to a comprehensive RESOURCE LIST full of ways that you can help right at this moment. But why am I sharing this message instead of simply reposting those that you have likely already been exposed to and learned from?
1. Because I respectfully recognize that, according to Asylum statistics and my own observations, many of you are not in America, and thus cannot vote/petition for the changes that many of these posts are asking you to make.
2. Because many of you are under the age where you can vote at all.
3. Because many of you are young enough to not have excess funds to donate.
4. Because there is something else that *can* apply to all of you regardless of the above, and that is Love. In the Asylum, we act in Love. We act from Spirit. And we have always, ALWAYS acted in Justice. Never believe that this does not matter. And we must not stop.
As all of you know, and as I have spoken at the end of 1000 concerts, an asylum is, by definition, a sanctuary. It never has been such. But it will be now. And it belongs to you.
Keep each other safe. Bring each other joy. Speak for each other when you are called upon. Fight for each other when you see need. Heal each other. See each other in yourselves, and you can bring no harm upon any soul.
And finally, if there is nothing else you can do, I invite you to copy/save/forward and share this picture above with a fellow spirit, who may then pass it on to someone else who needs the reminder, and so on. OR, write a message of how YOU would like to make the change you want to see in the world on your own blank card if you have the Oracle (or on anything you wish if you don't), and post it for your community to see. (Tag me so can find you!).
We are each other. We are love. That is all there ever needs to be.
And of course, OF COURSE, it is insanity that this was ever ever EVER in question, Black Lives Matter.
