The Curse of the Scapegoat
“Clearing the wound of vilification. Most have walked the hell realms of being bullied (attacked), excluded, defamed, slandered; it is an ancient method to shatter innocence through brutalization of the soul + physical flesh. Another story emerges in it’s arms, too; innocent named villain. The scapegoat for others inability to process emotions + relational dynamics in real time. The bad guy that is the cause of the turmoil + chaos + rage seeping from the pores of the other individual who is yet to realize their own contribution + cause. The body of projection who has had to carry the veil of false perception, misinterpreted in ways that would cripple the heart and do. The gaping hole of being split open with the venomous knife of false judgement. The wound of being labeled the villain when innocence is known in a pure + genuine way can be devastating. It is further obliterating than being disliked, at least the true character is recognized then rejected in such a case. A wounding of a different kind. But many of those that need to claim positions of absolute integrity have been cast into these spaces. Devastating betrayals + underworld initiations to not fall prey to the attempt to trick the consciousness into believing, then becoming, evil. Truth is not always handled with care. Many are reckless + violent with it when they cannot comprehend it. It is a threat. The restoration of the body + heart that has undergone this experience requires continual return to the integrity of innocence to fortify, purify + reinforce defenses abasing further attempts to collapse + corrupt.”
