It's fair to say we are living a world of opposition. Does that mean there is a disturbance in the force? Have we moved out of a positive-centred balance? Join Lynette and Kiki as they ponder and discuss the balance of light and dark forces, the possible ways to correct the balance and just how important are our thoughts and actions are. While the concepts of opposing forces have been shared for millennia, they've more recently been explored through modern pop culture. Star Wars, for example had the Jedi High Council to help keep the balance, and to contemplate all aspects of the order and dedicated themselves to service of the balance of the galaxy. The world of Harry Potter had the Ministry of Magic who oversaw things like magical law enforcement, magical accidents and catastrophes, regulation and control of the uses of magic and magical creatures. ...and yet these also descended into corruption and chaos at times. How so, you may ask? Is there actually such a thing as 'dark forces?' Can we be overrun by them. The "Dementors" from HP for example, have been described as being, "Among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them... Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself... soulless. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life.? It raises the question "Are there such things in the energy world and can they cross into the physical world? And more importantly "What happens if you encounter one?” (Trigger Warning: this episode contains a spooky true story). Could it be, that the real "Dementors” are actually more human and narcissistic in form, seeking complete power and control. Or is it possible they just wounded souls with no personal light? And what the heck do we do about that? #ANarcissitsWorstNightmareIsAnEducatedEmpath Let's talk out the dilemmas & the solutions. Ps - Has anyone activated the Bat or Spidey Signal?
