Disempowerment to Self Empowerment
[The following email exchange with a former member of Sukyo Mahikari is posted here with the writer's permission.]
The most satisfied feeling of joy I felt was when I woke up one morning and said "Yes" I've taken back my power and am walking my own path of Love and Light to God. I had to be caught up in this SM organisation to realise the truth that I was giving away my power to be worthy of God's love by doing all that "divine service". What a boring chore that became. Now my life is just one of letting go of the past and living in the present moment. I have no regrets and choose to see that the SM organisation is a wake up call to those like myself who get caught up in its dogma etc and to see the gift which is self empowerment. Im just truly grateful I woke up - gosh maybe thats SM's mission by God - to rattle us so that we will take back our power and to make us realise that each of one of us is a powerful creator!!
Blessings to you

Hi Butterfly,
Lovely to hear from you!
You're right...being in SM is very disempowering, and it does feel great to take back one's own power. I'm glad to hear that you did.
Can I ask, what made you wake up? You've probably noticed that a lot of what I write is an attempt to help people "wake up", so any feedback on what works for other people is useful. I guess a lot of the people who read my site and blog are actually ex-members already, but some are probably still struggling with their past SM beliefs (especially if they were long-term members).
It's good to hear that you sound like you came through fairly unscathed by it all. Thank you very much for your letter!

Hi Anne
Deep in one's heart we all know when something "feels" out of integrity. If we
block it/suppress it, then an opportunity is lost to find our balance and feel "at one" - what we resist, persists; what we accept, will set us free. By tuning into my feelings, by asking myself how did I lose my energy with SM and all its "must dos", I was able to accept how controlled and powerless I felt. With that, I stepped off the SM train and set myself free. Its called free will and we must always use it for that is the power that has been bestowed on human beings by God.
