Gossip, slander, being a Lightworker…an oxymoron or so one would suppose.


Recently I had several things that were allegedly said by me, but in truth never were said. They were the product of nothing but ugly gossip.

For myself when someone approaches me with an alleged wrong or slur someone said, I always tell them that unless I hear it directly from the person themselves, I refuse to acknowledge the information.

As Lightworkers I think it's important that we do not give place to the insanity of ugly gossip, or he said, she said. I think we not only have to take the stance that such gossip is inappropriate; it is unworthy of a person who calls themselves a Lightworker. It is our duty to stop such talk right in its tracks, and let the person know who is giving the information that such talk is unwelcome and harmful. One also has to question the motive of someone who is willing to spread slander and slurs with malicious glee. What positive outcome could there be if one person managed to allow their tongue to stray against another, and those words were subsequently conveyed to them? How could there be any good, any light, any healing from such an action? Such actions are at best treacherous. They betray a simple trust. The tongue becomes a weapon of destruction rather than an instrument of peace.

The person who is the victim of such gossip is then put in a completely untenable position. They could try to deny the allegations, but such denial simply adds fuel to the fire. They can take the moral high ground and refuse to address the allegations, but then they are often left with the loss of the friends or acquaintances involved in the situation. There is no happy resolution to such a situation.

As Lightworkers we either are going to channel light, healing, wellness, and wholeness, or we will not. The power of this is in our words and intentions. There is simply no room to be a Lightworker and allow this into our lives. The minute we do we have lost the right to call ourselves Lightworkers. We must eschew any form of gossip, evil speech. No matter what we think has been said, we must always believe the best, pray for those who have wronged us, and continue in the path of Light. To do anything less is to bring shame to the name of a Lightworker.
