Alice, that was very well written, and I understand your concerns.
When I was in public school, I was blamed as a trouble-maker. When I went to the teachers asking for protection from the people beating me up, they thought I was lying.
Because I came from a broken home, because I was book-smart, because I was full of grief and bored in class, the teachers thought that I was plotting to beat people up on my lunch hour... Meanwhile I had escaped the tedium and the pain, into a fantasy world where everyone loved me, and I was useful.

Psychology isn't infallible, either. Not every recipient of abuse grows up to abuse people. In grade 4, I realized that I was being beaten up whichever way I turned, so I may as well do what I want to do. If someone had told me that earlier, I probably wouldn't have been beaten up so badly... Anyway.
Thank you for speaking out.

You are right, spirituality is about loving one another.

The rest are just fun things to do that may or may not provide an insight on how to love one another. And like anything else, these things can be used to justify what is good, or what is not good. We always have that choice.

I still enjoy learning about astrology, tarot, and magical rituals. It interests me.

Hopefully, the people contributing their information here or in PMs to Bearheart are aware that people are more than the snapshot of planets in the sky at their birth.

Karma is a strange concept, one that I personally would not use to justify any sort of action, even loving, healthy action.

That someone would use that concept to justify abuse is horrifying.
Blaming the victim is far too common, I have experienced that myself, and I would not blame the tools so much as the people who corrupted those tools.

With compassion,
