*****

what if we give up the desperate fight?

what if we let the day rest at the night?

what if we mourned the loss of our pain?

what if we let lies and strain down the drain?

what if we called on our shadows to dance?

what if we made our worlds with our hands?

what if we trusted Most High with our stakes?

the high ones, the low ones, the woodens we break?

In most of our time that we choose the wrong rhymes

we cry and we scream over waste and decline

identities woven 'round pictures of preening

we spend so much time oversculpting and screening

that we don't even notice we're bleeding out bleeding

oh, life force gets siphoned in so many ways

gets stolen and swollen on y-ending days

if we forget to cover our bases with care

prioritize job chase o'er tending our hair

it's recommended to start at our home, so they say

so why do we throw our heart's home straight away?

for beliefs about shouldas, and couldas, and woulds

when we have all we need in our own neighborhoods?

even wanderers and nomads have homes nightly, you see

wherever heads lay is where the soul moves to pray

if we go down the chakras to the root we will find

it's to trust the body, the soles, not the mind.

Cheryl Anne talks explores why record Solar Flares may be the reason why this Eclipse Season of September-October 2024 may have been more intense than we were expecting.

The talk is given assuming that the listener is at least marginally familiar with Dominance and submission as concepts, but this is not necessary to benefit from the information. However, the listener will be open to being introduced to these concepts.

The style is "teaching memoir" as a personal story context for a lesson: it was given in response to an experience that I had of being "in detriment" while having given some of my power away as a Dominant to a person of lower rank in exchange for my basic needs being met. This brought on what was, in reality, a risky and abusive situation, which, immediately after I left (and therefore retrieved my power back), brought on reactions that shared much with classic abusive-relationship dangers.

Thus, the topic of *the sadism of (some) charity* is addressed. This phrase is not given in the talk, but may be expanded later.

Other topics include energy work, awakening, & reclaiming true nature.

AUDITORY SENSITIVITY NOTES:

at about 19:25, my phone vibrates, making a startling sound

at 27:55 through 30:00 there are sirens

38:30ish through 39:10 dog bark

ROUGH NOTES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:

-necessary when leaving abusive relationships

-how to navigate power siphons by people "helping" you

-how to navigate the battle/war of taking your energy back

-using the lens of RPGs to understand these processes

-how asking for charity puts one in a very vulnerable power play position

-trafficking is an extreme version of this sort of abuse

-warning signs of "charity abuse," even when they are a good person with good *conscious* intention

-importance of the subtle. subconscious. & unconscious Control motivations of "helpers"

-navigating charity abuse as a Dom

-if consent is not fully informed and free to deny, it's abuse

-pornography, the largest international human trafficking organization, is responsible for the Grave Miseducation of BDSM.

-BDSM = BuDdhiSM

-receiving charity with strings attached = abusive situation, disempowering

-abusive charity holds the receiver's energy in nonconsensual bondage

-how false charity is actually energy theft

-how this theft probably already happened, even unconsciously, in another realm

-& therefore how getting into such an abusive situation in the first place is actually an acting-out, or manifestation, of something that *already happened* in the energy realms

-what the abuser will do when you break the abuse contract and move on (grappling/grasping), when the *real*, nonabusive, transparent, natural energy placement and power dynamic is restored

-the danger of being present to show up in your Rank, even in the kindest and most loving way, when the former energy thief is present without backup

-parallel with abusive situations and human trafficking

-what to ACTUALLY DO to rake your energy back: breathing through feet or root. vibration and frequency entrainment, slow down breath and reaction. don't react

-topping from the bottom

-differentiating from a person being our enemy, from knowing that they are not well and that we must protect ourself from their damage

-recovering your power means becoming a Teacher, being a good example
