Today’s Reflection: I Do Not Consent

 

There are so many things I (we) do not consent to but choose to do any way because I want to provide a house, heat, food and water to my child.

Where do we draw the line?

For me it’s when some institution tells me in order to enroll our child in their program, I must consent to allow them to photograph, video or audio record her ~ at their discretion ~ in order to allow her to participate.  Not only that, I must consent to allow them to use that material in whatever way they deem necessary, including but not limited to brochures, advertisements and on the World Wide Web as well as with their affiliates (whoever they are).

Oh fucking hell no way do we consent to that!  

We agreed to consent to all of their other ridiculous requests as well as answered a variety of personal questions I found absolutely unnecessary to answer (this is just a basic child activity class for 2 months for craps sake)…but giving them the right to photograph or video/audio record my child (who doesn’t wish to have that done either) against our wishes or hers in order to participate?  Let me repeat:  No.  Fucking.  Way.

I know I “should not” be surprised at this given what I know about how these institutions operate.  And yet, I am.  Surprised.  And angry.

And now my child is understandably sad, which breaks my heart, brings up that inner rage of “I am SO FUCKING DONE with this realm” and makes me question:  WHAT has been the purpose of my awakening to all of this filth and enslavement?  It still continues.  We’re still here.

Deep breath…..Damn.  I am tired today of intending and focusing and calling forth all that I desire ~ having the dreams and visions of seeing the New.

And yet we.  are.  still.  here.

I can continue to speak out, share, refuse to consent to certain demands of the system…and yet until enough of us do so, this will continue to drag on…

…unless all that I have seen is actually occurring….and will continue to transition…

In the meantime I have a sad child and her mama wants to smack some sense into these puppets for creating a policy that violates a basic human right (the right NOT to be photographed, videotaped etc.).

And at this moment, I am not quite sure how to “deal” with such insanity.

That is all for now.

NEW NOW.
