I WILL NO LONGER BE SILENT: Why I’m Done Spiritually Bypassing Rape Culture

I woke up this morning and knew I had to write this. For years, I’ve been a spiritual teacher focused on joy, pleasure, and creating a life worth living. I’ve done that work honestly - I HAVE created a beautiful life. I live in alignment with myself, experience profound love and creative fulfillment every day.

But I’ve also been spiritually bypassing something I can no longer not see.

There is a war happening. And it’s being waged against women and children. Silence isn’t neutral. Silence is complicity. And I will not be complicit anymore.

GISÈLE PELICOT: THE WOMAN WHO REFUSED TO HIDE

Gisèle Pelicot is a French woman who stood in court and sent her husband - and 50 other men - to prison for drugging and raping her while she was unconscious. For a decade. Yes, for a fucking decade.

Her husband systematically drugged her, invited strangers from online forums into their home, and filmed them raping her. She had no memory of it. She only found out when the police discovered thousands of videos on his computer.

When it came time for the trial, Gisèle refused to be anonymous. She waived her right to a closed trial and said: “Shame must change sides.”

She wanted the world to see what was done to her - not because she was ashamed, but because THEY should be. She shouldn’t have to be a hero for this. She should have been safe in her own home.

THE RAPE ACADEMY & THE EPSTEIN FILES

And if that wasn’t enough: 62 million men gathered online in February to watch videos teaching them how to drug and assault their wives, girlfriends, and partners. How to hurt them, torture them, film it, and get away with it.

They call it the “manosphere.” The world is now calling it “Rape Academy”.

This isn’t fringe behavior. Sixty-two million men. Learning, organizing, radicalizing each other into viewing women as objects to control and destroy. I know this story all to well. You know who you are!

And it connects directly to something we’ve known for years but keep pretending doesn’t implicate the systems we live under: the Epstein files.

Jeffrey Epstein ran an organized trafficking operation for decades - sexually abusing children and infants and providing them to powerful men across politics, business, and entertainment. The files released contain names, flight logs, and depositions proving that elite men participated in or enabled systemic child abuse. And most of them face no consequences. YET!

This is rape culture. Not just individual monsters - entire systems designed to protect men who abuse women and children while punishing victims for speaking.

I’VE BEEN FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR - I JUST DIDN’T KNOW IT

For the last year, I’ve been waking up to what I didn’t want to see: I’ve been fighting a war between light and dark, between liberation and control, between those who want humanity to remember its divinity and those who profit from keeping us enslaved and traumatized.

I didn’t want to call it a war because war is heavy. But some things need to be named as enemies.

Rape culture is my enemy. Patriarchy is my enemy. Systems that normalize violence against women and children are my enemy.

I AM A SURVIVOR

I haven’t talked about this much publicly because I built a life focused on what I created AFTER the trauma.

But here’s the truth: I am a survivor of religious abuse, emotional abuse, physical violence, sexual violence, neglect, and humiliation.

I survived all of it. And I built a beautiful life anyway - found real love, created financial success, learned to trust my body and voice, live in joy most days. But I will not use my healing as an excuse to stay silent while others suffer what I survived.

SPIRITUAL BYPASSING IS OVER

Spiritual communities have used “high vibration” and “positive focus” as excuses to ignore injustice. We’ve been told: don’t focus on the negative, what you resist persists, you create your reality so victims manifested their abuse, talking about darkness gives it power, real healers don’t get angry.

BULLSHIT!

Most of your spiritual gurus won’t even bring this up. And some of them are involved in all of this Evil!

You know what gives darkness power? Silence.

You know what real healers do? They GET ANGRY when people are being harmed. They don’t smile serenely while children are abused.

Done pretending that focusing on my own beautiful life absolves me of responsibility to fight for those who don’t have that privilege yet.

I WILL FIGHT FOR MY SISTERS

I have sisters, students, women who look to me for guidance and proof that another way is possible.

I will not teach them joy while ignoring the systems designed to destroy them. I will not celebrate pleasure while 62 million men are learning how to rape. I will not talk about divine feminine power while women like Gisèle are being violated for a decade by men they trusted.

I will fight. I will use my voice, my platform, my rage, my power. If you don’t wanna read or hear what I have to say, please feel free to unfriend me immediately.

PATRIARCHY ENDS NOW

I don’t know exactly what the path forward looks like. But I know it starts with truth-telling. It starts with women like Gisèle refusing to hide. With survivors like me refusing to stay silent. With spiritual teachers refusing to bypass darkness in the name of positivity.

It starts with all of us saying: No more.

No more rape academies. No more Epstein files with no accountability. No more systems that protect abusers and shame victims. No more silence in exchange for comfort.

I will keep teaching joy, celebrating pleasure, building beauty. But I will also fight.

For the women still trapped in what I escaped. For the children being abused right now. For every person whose body has been violated, whose voice has been silenced.

I will no longer be silent. And I hope you won’t be either.
