Here are Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series.
Now that the spiritual nature of this process is revealed, it's much easier to facilitate change. Finally, I can fully show what I've been doing, talk about it openly and join with larger amounts of people to continue doing it. In the latest manifestation which took place on Saturday, August 17th, I felt clearly what I wanted and needed to do in every coming manifestation, the thing for which I've been preparing for the past few years: be a channel of the joy of this moment in our history.
These regimes succeed in their ambitions because the majority of people are either passive or supportive, even those who oppose them. One can verbally be against a regime and not do anything to confront it, or in fact favor it with one's actions. From a spiritual perspective, we can support these regimes by speaking like their hierarchs do, by engaging in the same resented persecution that they dictate for their loyalists, by thinking ill of one another and fostering division with constant arguments. The tyrants require people to stay submissive and isolated, to be fearful of retaliation from all sides, including relatives, friends and acquaintances; to achieve this, they exploit pre-existing social wounds and worsen them with their own handiwork, while also sowing mistrust through extensive propaganda campaigns, but that isn't enough, they must take advantage of religious fervor, superstitions and plain curiosity on occult matters.
I'm not referring only to chavismo here, but to every tyrannical government in the world and some that may not appear tyrannical but still engage in these strategies, whose effects can be felt also by those within the structures of power. It's impossible to not be affected by an altar that you see every day or by a ritual that's being performed a few doors down your hall, regardless of whether you're a believer or not. Despite what many people think, belief isn't required for these practices to work, and resisting them through rationalizations and intellect often causes us to be even more vulnerable to it, because self-proclaimed rational individuals still have emotions and that's what these practices harness.
Fortunately, emotions can go both ways and, just like a criminal gang, a dictatorial regime or a religious cult may influence people to be obedient and fearful, to help split groups into manageable islands more suitable for repression, we all have the power to influence our own energy as well as that of our surroundings and communities to promote unity, tranquility and love. This is what's currently happening with Venezuela, everyone is finding connection again and every day, dozens more join the fray with their own actions, prayers, offerings, meditations and rituals. Even people who have been atheists or agnostics for their entire lives have started to exhibit more interest in these topics due to the great phenomenon that we're all observing.
Someone gave María Corina a new rosary and she put it on immediately. As you can see, she's collected plenty
We're toppling a regime that has sunk its claws in every inch of the Venezuelan territory and in the flesh of its citizens, no matter where they are. It has battered our spirits and minds for so long, and now we're starting to collectively understand that we weren't being destroyed... we were being forged. And now the forging is done. Now we use our newfound power, courtesy of chavismo's abuses, to repel their deeds and eventually, reabsorb them into the fabric of the nation. María Corina Machado knows this too, she also has her spiritual advisors, and that's another reason why it's useful for us to have her at the helm. Whether we individually support her or agree with her politics, she's the leader that we need right now, and once institutionality is restored in Venezuela, we'll be able to keep a closer watch over her and any other leaders, anyway.
My focus now is beyond chavismo. To me, there's no longer any doubt that they're done. As far as I'm concerned, my fellows and me have a much larger and mightier task to tackle, and this renewed faith, this wave of genuine, life-saving spirituality which is defeating tyranny now, will guide us through that task as well.
