Pimple Popper

Have you heard of the Pimple Doctor? She has countless youtube videos displaying her vast arrays of pimple and cyst extractions. Despite the fact that watching some of them give me a punch in the gut I am mesmerized. That is because I am a zit-a-holic. I am obsessed with popping pimples and my family knows it. When my boys were in puberty it was a glorious time for me; not so much for them. They despised being pinned down so I could work my magic yet they didn't address the reason behind the zits to stop them from coming out. I won't get into the vast reasons why zits occur just that some people resign themselves that it is a necessary part of life. They learn to hate them and even feel shame for having them. They are not the problem, just the symptom.

Facebook Religion

Facebook has countless memes just like those two that people repeatedly post on their walls. It's almost like a silent cry out for help and a small window to expose what they truly feel about their lives down deep inside. What amazed me about the two above was that they appeared back to back in my feed; one by a page and one by a friend. Instantly, it caught my attention for something like that doesn't happen by coincidence; these situations are meant for a closer look. When I looked at the meme closely I noticed a couple things, both have exactly the same wording and a woman illustrated despite being stamped by two completely different entities. Let's address briefly the female energy component for it's common component of our paradigm and a misconception that women are the weaker gender. That may be the first impression of the meme and if so that needs to change. There is also another way to look at that image and it is from a position of strength. Women are the goddesses of emotion and we can speak out against what is happening from an emotional perspective.

Teflon Suit

Accountability and Blame; two words which are as slippery as a non-stick pan. An incident will come up where we feel uncomfortable and we will do whatever it takes to fling the responsibility unto someone else. This serves two purposes: a momentary sense of release from the denial and allows us to be a victim. This freedom from responsibility serves us until a "pimple" pops up in our life that we can no longer ignore. A girlfriend at work had this exact situation happen. She got a zit on her forehead and she exclaimed, "It's all I can see" Sometimes zits occur because of surface stuff like keeping your face clean but anyone with acne wishes it was that simple. Often it's an unknown imbalance within their body and this is the indicator. The same is with the negative situations in our life.

Come closer - no go away!

The last line of the meme states: Normal people don't go around destroying other human beings. Really? If you say one cross word to your parent, child, spouse, co-worker or any other human being and they feel destroyed by it then what? Are you no longer normal or are you justified? In this case there is no such thing as a normal person for nobody's a saint or perfect. This meme is meant to advocate the victim and put the blame on the perpetrator. What does that solve exactly? Now hear me out for I'm not an advocate of abuse but there is an explanation. This issue here is not who done what but why. Abuse is a vicious cycle that involves two parties: the giver and the receiver. It cannot exist without both parties. Have you ever wondered why one person becomes one or the other? I have. If finally dawned on me the other day what lies deep beneath the interaction and draws the two parties together.

Heroes and Villains

Abuse knows no age limits; terrible and unthinkable things happen at any and every stage of life. What draws the two souls together is that they share the same core belief only at different stages. In our genetic history we have varying degrees of how this core belief has affected our ancestors. When we enter the family our interpretation of that core belief is manifested: abuser or victim. For a family member to become an abuser the core belief has been suppressed and unaddressed long enough that it has to manifest itself for all to see. Much like a pimple, the final suppression of the belief causes pressure and all the grossness comes out. That grossness is the horrific acts that we see in society today. What is done then? A medicated zit cream to try and kill the pimple and/or we apply some type of coverup. Our current system has does little to affect what imbalance caused the pimple. Instead more confusion and suppression is applied and the core issue isn't dealt with. For the receiver, the same application applies. The victim has the same core belief and this is their own version of the pimple only instead of making a mess it simply scars; they forever wear the evidence. So who is to blame; the abuser, the receiver or the unaddressed core belief?
