Marie Antoinette, Bourgeoning Desire

Let me just say, “Let them eat cake” never crossed my lips. I was not cruel. 

 

Are you to be naked to please your soul, to not show advantage over another? Are you to simply survive on the crumbs under the table that have been stepped on and ground into the dirt? Are you to beg “Alms for the poor” on the church’s front steps?

 

I dare say not!

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you’ve been told. I ask you, who is the beholder, who is the judge?

 

You are the beholden.

 

You are not a mouse darling. You are a lion and lions do not hide and cower to the will of another.

 

Come now, what does the opinion of another have to do with you? Did you ask for this persons thoughts on the subject at hand or was this interjected in a hushed disapproval? Darling, pay them no mind, no mind at all.

 

When you have built a solid foundation on love and respect and self regulation there is no sour milk.

 

Live your life in your truth without apology.

 

 

 

Channeled message from Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France who lost her head, literally. “Bourgeois desire” referred to aspirations linked to the middle-class focus on respectability, material wealth and conventional comfort. “Bourgeois values” also encompassed deeper psychological longings as explored by artist Louise Bourgeois. Louise was born on Christmas Day in 1911. Louise used her art to confront personal trauma, sexuality, and the limitations of society’s norms that contrasted personal desires with capitalist/burgeois structures that explored guilt, inadequacy and the search for fulfillment beyond consumption. Oh, and by the way…Louise was Marie Antoinette reincarnate. This was my second conversation with Marie Antoinette, I’ve linked her first message for you, read it, it’s good!
