Labels Cause Divisions Among People
"Labels: How They Have Kept Us From Embracing Our Shared Existence"
Since the beginning of time labels have been used as means to gain power and cause divides among Men, Women, and Angelic Beings of Light Everywhere.
It’s time we recognize the negative effects and begin working towards correcting the divisions and promote inclusivity by teaching a greater understanding of our connection to all life.
We are all made of the same Divine Essence, The Divine Love that lives within us lives within all matter on this earth and the universe. With The Help Of All Light-Workers and Earth Angels (however you see yourself) We can begin to undo the damage and mend the divides that have been caused out of fear and a desire to rule over others. As we start educating ourselves and others on the damaging effects of labels we will provide the means to end the separatist attitudes that cause harm.
Dating back to the beginning of time labels have been used out of fear. And this fear caused a revolution separating all angelic being of light by way of war. The divisions caused the Tuatha De Dannan and Other Pantheons to revolt against one another, they forgot that they were here to aid in bringing Unity to the universe. They forgot that life is fragile and that all Divine Angelic Beings Of Light should be revered and honored for the individuals they are. Caught up in the enticement of power they destroyed each other just as society continues to do as more and more labels are being used to identify human beings gender, race, ethnicity etc…
The damage that comes from using label is significant and we need to rethink they way we are using them. Some of the most commonly known ill effects of labels are:
Stereotyping which oversimplifies and inaccurately generalizes a group of people. These stereotypes can then influence how we treat people and lead to discrimination.
Limiting beliefs which limit our understanding of individuals and restrict their potential. People are complex and multi-faceted, and labels can prevent us from seeing the unique qualities that make each person special.
Alienating and Divisive creating "us vs. them" mentality that can lead to further division and conflict.
Reinforcing existing biases and perpetuating systemic inequalities. For example, labels such as "criminal" or "welfare recipient" can perpetuate negative stereotypes and contribute to the criminalization and marginalization of certain groups.
Other more harmful effects of labels are:
Racism: Racism has been fueled using labels to categorize people based on their race and to promote the superiority of one race over another. This has led to widespread prejudice, discrimination, and violence against people of color.
Xenophobia: Labels have also been used to create divisions between people based on their nationality, ethnicity, or culture. This has led to xenophobia, or fear and hatred of foreigners, which has been a driving force behind violence, war, and genocide.
Sexual orientation and gender identity: Labels related to sexual orientation and gender identity have been used to create divisions between people based on their sexual or gender identity. This has led to widespread discrimination, violence, and prejudice against people who are LGBTQ+.
Religious discrimination: Religious labels have been used to create divisions between people based on their beliefs and practices. This has led to religious discrimination and even religious wars, in which people have been persecuted or killed because of their religious beliefs.
Such is the case for The Fae and Angelic Being Of Lights Everywhere. Forced into the darkness due to fear of the unknown. And then they were further categorized later in life as good and bad, light and dark with different courts (seelie and unseelie). Well I am calling bullshit on all of it. All labels that have caused a divide need to go away now. We are all made up of the same Divine Essence no matter where we are from. God and The Great Mother Earth that has given us life is the same life force that flows through Angels, Archangels, Deities, Spirits Of Nature and The Fae alike.
When we place labels on ourselves or others we reinforce the limiting beliefs that caused the initial divide.
As a society we must come together and stop looking at each other as separate for we are all one. The Little girl or boy down the street that cries and feels alone because he or she was labeled stupid, or that one friend you had decided to come out to you and due labels you let go of everything you thought of them and labeled as gay, lesbian, queer or worse. The person that wears larger sized clothes has been labeled fat and other things that have wounded their soul and dampened their spirit. It is time to recognize the harm labels are causing and start seeing each other as part of us.
Organized religion also plays a part in causing divides by labeling people according to faith, Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Hindu, Buddhist and on and on. Where does it end? When will we all see the need to stop viewing ourselves as different and start looking with the eyes of the heart that show us We Are All Of The Same Divine Essence.
One Within The Light and Love Of The Divine
