Forgiveness

December 1, 2011

Q: Dear Mistress Didi,

Last night, I overheard You discussing forgiveness. I only caught a bit of what You said, but it really helped me with a difficult situation that I am struggling with. Can You please offer me some more advice? Thank You, Ma’am.

~ Grateful

Dear Grateful,

Do understand that I write this from the perspective of a Sadist. Where I choose the term, “punish” and similar words, I suggest you choose an action that resonates with your Truth. I’m a Libra (The Scales), so perhaps that also explains what I’m about to say.

I have a 3-strikes-you’re-out-rule for Myself because the first time, shame on you; the second time, I was gracious and you set yourself up for the Divine Torture I’m going to extremely enjoy when/if you offend Me the third time!

My commitment is to the Win-Win. I do My very best to keep My Karma in balance. So, I do everything from the place of understanding that everyone and everything in Our Universe is here to teach Our souls lessons. When people disappoint Us – and they always will – it is part of Our mutual lessons. It is not so much the situation as it is what We do with the situation that allows Us to grow towards Joy – if We choose to.

Now, here’s the tricky part: We are conditioned by religion, social mores (plural, noun, Sociology:folkways of central importance accepted without question and embodying the fundamental moral views of a group) & pressures, family “stuff,” etc., to believe that:

evolving means to deny anger and all of the feelings that are natural to being disappointed, disturbed ~ “dissed” – which is ludicrous and against Nature.

We should somehow be all-knowing so that when people disappoint Us, “I should have” known better, seen it coming, [insert self-defeating statement here].

it is either all Our fault OR the other person’s fault and We misunderstand personal responsibility. It’s not until We’re adults that the concept of the dynamic of the interaction between ALL parties gives Us the opportunity to take a good look at Our egos (which shows Us how We are in/out of balance with Self-Love) presented to Us – if We’re lucky.

Having said that, I CHOOSE to permit everyone the opportunity to show Me who they are and HOW they are – which can often be quite different in behavior due to how folks handle stress and FEAR = False Experiences Appearing Real. And because I embrace the fact that I Am A Sadist, and My Motto is Don’t start none, won’t be none, when they choose to operate outside of the Realm of Love and Respect, I enjoy creating balance for Myself.

I had the great fortune of meeting the Dalai Lama who told Me (I’m paraphrasing) that Karma is whether You can sleep at night. I forgive offenders because, as Jesus said, “they know not what they do.” And if they do know, they chose to receive the consequences for their actions – consciously or subconsciously – it’s all in Divine Order for evolution. I torture them because I do know what I’m doing to take care of My needs and I own My responsibility for doing so. I always choose to torture with the opportunity for evolution, because I’m also taking care of My Karma.

Some people think this is enacting vengeance. I believe that the same way the offender gave Me the opportunity to grow through pain, I am the Agent of Karma in return by giving them the opportunity to evolve however they choose to interpret the consequences of their actions.

Forgiveness first begins with Yourself because We have to undo all of that “conditioning” that is designed to make Us wrong. Once I do that, I find that I can choose to torture from a place of giving love, rather than from a place of retaliation. I prefer to reward rather than to punish. Sometimes, a gift can have an amazing sting, but one always grows through pain. Whether they choose to grow towards Joy is their choice.

Hedonist that I Am (I created My own religion, Spiritual Hedonism™), I choose Joy!

Fabulous & Guilty By Association

December 22, 2011

Dear Mistress Didi*,

A while back, You addressed an issue with a “dominant” whom You helped get into The Scene and who abused Your kindness. I recently had a very similar experience where the person I helped has been riding on my reputation, has sabotaged my project, cheated me out of money, and is now telling lies about everything that has ever happened! I remember reading Your post and being able to “trust in Karma”, as You suggested. Would You please repost it so that I can share it with others who are being affected by this guy?

Much gratitude, Miss V

Dear Miss V.,

It is My pleasure to repost as the same idiot who prompted the original posting has over-stepped the boundaries and is now in the process of receiving the Karma he created! Best of luck to you!

November 21, 2008

There seems to be some kind of epidemic of incredible stupidity going on these days. Too many times during the past few months – and more so during the past few weeks, I have received COMPLAINTS about people who have been seen with Me.

Let’s get something straight right away. Just because a person is seen with Me does not mean that the person has anything to do with Me whatsoever. Do not base your assumptions about these people based on what you think you know about Me.

I am The PartyDomme and I invite people to join Me at My events and at events given by others all the time. That’s a wonderful way to meet new people and get a chance to know them. Unlike far too many people, I know that I have nothing to lose by sharing MyPartySelf with others.

However, there have been a few times where My generosity has given stupid people opportunities to be the failures they hold onto being, which has put small dampers on things I’ve carefully planned. I have even taken My generosity to a fault and given My repeated forgiveness and opportunities for them to “make good” and, sadly, they have made commitments to remain screw-ups. For some idiotic reason, the people in their lives allow them to get away with this awful behavior and they have made the terrible mistake of thinking they can receive the same disservice to humanity from Me.

Most folks would stop any and all association with people who continually screw-up their situations. But as My Amazing Grandmother taught Me, I believe you should “consider the source”. If you know someone is incapable of doing things they want to believe they can do, then don’t require them to do such things. If there are other qualities about the person that you enjoy, you have the option of keeping them around for those enjoyments. No one is capable of being everything to you. Hedonist that I am, I enjoy what is available to be enjoyed.

The problem with this way of thinking, I have found and am receiving too many emails about, is that some people are so far gone in their delusions of who they believe they are that they choose to pretend to be completely unaware of/refuse to acknowledge that their bad behavior is causing them problems. (Note: I have made them aware of the complaints and they have continued their offenses.)

Their problems will not be Mine. There is honor in The True Scene and Good People look out for each Other, hence all of the emails I’ve received. These discourteous people are basking in the glorious glow of My vibe, My works, My friends, My social circling, and have presented themselves as the people they want to believe they are by using MY REPUTATION to open doors in attempts to create opportunities with others that I have established relationships with! Some people have gone as far as to attend and copy the workshop presentations that I have given and market themselves using My techniques and definitions – verbatim! That’s plagiarism, folks! Some cultures believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I consider it thievery.

Clarifying further: To use My name to boost your opinion of yourself in your presentation to people you want something from is attempting to “steal” from My reputation that I built on My own merits. The fact that these offenders have nothing of merit of their own to present to others and that they need to use Me for validation is creepy. To present My techniques, step-by-step the way that I have demonstrated them, and to even copy the descriptions from My webpages is attempting to “steal” My proprietary information. At least add something of your own ~ do anything other than just replace My name in My descriptions! These actions can be considered a form of identity theft.

I always give people the benefit of the doubt and a chance to do better the next time until they prove to Me that they are unworthy. I am always supportive of people who choose to behave from the Highest Within and I leave those who don’t in their zones of depraved banality.

For some reason, these offenders think that I am just going to let them get away with their transgressions against Me. Again, I addressed their actions and they chose to insist that they meant no offense, yet they have continued to repeat the same bad behaviors — as if their lame apologies will have any meaning to Me again — if they even bothered to apologize (then, there is that bad behavior, too, which gets you tossed to the curb).

I don’t accept the fallacy that they are “unaware of their behaviors” — especially when I have carefully detailed the problems to them in writing to make sure they have a reference for their future adventures. I pay attention to the fact that they are selfish, inconsiderate, poorly attempting to manipulate, and disrespectful all around. I shake My head and pity them; this is a serious sign of inferiority and a lack of self-love.

By now, We’d think that people know not to mistake kindness for weakness – especially My kindness. Fortunately for them, I don’t waste My time with trifling losers. One of the best things about karma is understanding that not only does what you do come back to you, but what they do comes back to them, too. People with these types of usurping/invasive psyches will dig their own graves while I sit back with a glass of champagne and watch them fall into their pits.

It is just a matter of time.

Always MY Pleasure,

Flip-Flopping Attempts to Top

December 31, 2010

Dear Mistress Didi*,

I recently followed a conversation You had on Twitter with a loser who tried to bait You into an argument. I enjoyed that You did not take the bait and turned the whole situation around on him! You even told him that he failed the last time he tried to argue with You! This was not the first time that I have seen You handle negative people. There always seems to be someone who tries to offend You and You don’t let them and put them in their place. How do You do it?

~ Wowed & Wondering

Dear Wowed & Wondering,

I always find it tedious that the same cycle of “mediocrity of personality” spawns from generation to generation and the perpetrators NEVER evolve. I cannot understand why or how people choose to remain “limited” as individuals, offering no compliment to society at large, and have no impetus to evolve into something – someone better.

No matter how many times, how many ways these “sad ones” try to put others down in a vain attempt to pretend that they are somehow raising themselves up, they will not EVER have any real achievement. It is only in their small minds that such distasteful efforts could possibly make them “superior” to the person they attempted to “top” in a disrespectful way. This ridiculous notion has no basis in any kind of reality and the sad ones are always left empty and wanting in their lives.

The truth is that such behavior is instigated by their sense of inferiority, spurred by jealousy of a person who is comfortable in Her or His own being, like I am. Instead of being inspired, the sad ones face their truthful fears that they are not “good enough” and become agitated by what they see lacking in themselves effortlessly emanating from Me.

The first thing such an autophobic (autophobia: an extreme dislike of oneself, or being angry at oneself) person does is deny their true feelings and choose to find fault with you in order to avoid any responsibility for recognizing that they can only ever walk in the shadows of where you shine. So, they attempt to “rain on your parade,” to dim your Light. This pathetic cycle leads to continued unhappiness via self-delusion and the ultimate in being unfulfilled.

Boringly, I get a lot of these sad ones trying with desperation to use Me for their follies. Instead of being grateful for all of the many gifts I give to The Community, they seek to find fault with Me and My works – of course, having nothing of value of their own to offer anywhere. I always make these sad ones useful by (1) setting them up to be examples for My Workshops and (2) toying with them for sport – after all, I always say, if you put your ass out there, you want to be spanked! My Motto: Don’t start none, won’t be none; I finish it.

What the sad ones do not understand is their attempts to goad Me into their games can only work on someone who is not comfortable with Herself; who does not love, honor, and respect Herself; and who questions her REALITY. This most certainly is not Me. I also have no emotional attachment to what they say or try to do while attempting to have their fantasies be My Reality. I pity them, but recognize how they can be of service to The Whole and take advantage of the only gifts they have to give ~ allowing them to be of service, which is the Highest Good.

My actions give them the opportunity to learn and grow. Whether they take that opportunity or not is all about their choices. If I am feeling particularly generous, I will refer them to self-esteem building techniques.

I am ever the Giving Goddess, even when creatures attempt to offend Me.
