Elements Out of Balance Kelli Tompkins

The 5 Taoist Elements out of Balance — Mint Fresca How to tell when one of the 5 Taoist Feng shui elements is out of balance in your space, home or office

I’ve said before & will again that white supremacy is the most dangerous threat we face as a collective to creating healthy, nurturing communities.

So much of our society has shifted right— a slow, machinated roll without any radical, progressive foothold to anchor reality in a common, grounded place.

It’s so scary to me. I don’t know how to make it better.

I try to maintain hope & optimism that we can protect people from the dangers of white terrorism. That we can build a different world & just do better, period.

I used to believe, I’ll admit- super naively, to the point that I’m embarrassed now- that some people were so conditioned in ignorance that they *just didn’t know* the impact of their actions.

I used to think someone just needed to be told ONE time & then they had the choice to learn more or choose to act differently.

I have to admit, I no longer think this.
I no longer am willing or able to give white people any leniency.

Too much has happened. Too many things have been subject of far-reaching conversations, on & offline.

How do you heal a historical wound without putting a bandaid on a gaping flesh wound?

How do you begin to fix this?

How do you create space to protect people who need to be protected now, immediately, from external threats—

& then also how do you create space to open the hearts of people acculturated into hate, not yet ready to wake out of their cultural ignorance, their collective marigpa?

There’s a need to recognize the very real harm that occurs via white terrorism & cultural violence.

But I’m not sure what that looks like in a colonial settler, white supremacist society.

My biggest, wildest dream is a present where everyone has the capacity to live a safe & healthy life.
My biggest dream requires waking half a country out of a cult. I understand why my cards tell me to dream realistically.

But when I think of hope, I can’t help but wish for us all to do better collectively. Especially white people. & I wish I could protect everyone from the harms of white people. & I wish white people would slow down enough to stop & think about who they’re hurting.

& then I wish we would just stop hurting each other.
