From spirits who survived it.
...this is some of what it is to hold a legacy of oppression as a thing one's resisted historically. In my journeys, I've come to learn and realize that a venerated ancestor of mine unified Japan and became a God, enshrined a multitude of times in connection. He is venerated as an ancestral ghost in Shinto practices, and moreover seen as a source of kindness, care and support.
...and we found our way to him as a system while living in diaspora.
Living with that truth, let me speak on resisting oppression in times of war.
When nerves are frayed, that is when we are at our weakest. At our most vulnerable to dark thoughts, to fear, to worry...and ultimately, to emotional decay. To counteract this, find footing in yourself, in pleasure, and in lightness as you confront the shadow. Do not seek the light to spare yourself the dark!
Instead, confront both as living aspects of your truth, and you'll find something greater in yourself.
Food for thought.
