“But remember that forgiveness too is a power. To beg for it is a power, and to withhold or bestow it is a power, perhaps the greatest. Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it isn’t really about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn’t about who can sit and who has to kneel or stand or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it’s about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.” ~Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
Shedding Skin. Laws of Nature. History doesn’t always repeat itself exactly – but it does rhyme. With a little research into the ‘rise and fall‘ of empires – a curious thing happens when the 13th Generation reaches maturity. Think Gen-X. The Empire begins crumbling. Radical thought – “why do we have to PAY to live here?”
Our first country is a woman’s body. Our first element is water. Embryos grow in the darkness. Stories from the past mold beliefs – often creating unrealistic expectations. The whole of ‘being human’ is just that – to be HUMAN. It’s messy and not for the faint of heart!
When the “Mind” recognizes Itself – and all its projections – distortions – fantasies about “what IS” and “how it should be” – the Mind will lash out in anger and pain. It’s a ‘mirror-trick.’ What “I see” out there is a reflection of what’s “inside me.”
The last four years have offered Americans a chance to look in the Mirror. We now see how other countries see us – as a whole. Other countries no longer fear us – nor do they ask permission for what they want to do in their country. America isolated itself. “Am I in my fear or my wisdom?”
We made Herstory. A woman in a powerful position – with a husband who is ready to sacrifice for ‘her story.’ How often do men make that kind of sacrifice – happy to step back and allow the female an opportunity – her dream?
The election will bring to our attention a new model of Masculinity. His name is Doug Emhoff – aka – the ‘First 2nd Gentleman.’ Kamala Harris’ husband. When she became Senator – he transferred to DC to work. He will join a very unique group of women who were expected to give up their careers/ideals/selves to support their husbands. He’s suspending his career to support her career. Unfortunately – I don’t personally know any men like that. Do you?
2020 has been ‘one hell of a wild ride.‘ And it’s not over yet. Almost – not quite. People are getting MORE spiritual now – that’s a good thing. By reclaiming our sovereignty (Spiritual or otherwise) – we can begin to Rise Up to reclaim our Moral Compass. How does that work?
What IF the ‘Mind’ is the space between Soul and Spirit – acting as a filter on a lens.
How can the Within and the Without reconcile? It starts with one question.
“Does anyone need to forgive me?” That’s a good starting point. Work outward.
100% Human + 100% Divine = Wholeness!
We were taught that we are separate (masculine/feminine) – but what if – we had it backwards? What if? What if the Indigenous People knew something we don’t? Their belief is that what some call God – they called The Great Mystery – separated Itself so it could experience Itself?
Even when confronted with the facts – many do not – cannot – will not believe/accept. By accepting “just the facts” over opinions – we’re confronted with the concept of ‘right or wrong.’ Well – that’s really a case of separation.
Many are experiencing a big ball of emotion trapped inside without words to explain or communicate. It hurts. The end of ‘White Privilege and/or Wealth’ won’t end overnight. The problem is that no one can see it – yet.
How many times does the Soul wonder – “when will this ego notice my presence?”
Why does a scorpion – when faced with death – sting itself? Deep Dive.
Deep breath – exhale slowly – repeat as needed. Slow down. Notice patterns. Think back to 1970 – 72 (what shame/guilt is coming to the surface for resolution). Healing has begun.
Think back to November/December 2002 – what justice was being sought? Who held the power?
Think back to November/December 2011 – what part of “my ego – was I forced to let go of?“
Think back to June – August 2018 – what was that peculiar pattern that reared its head once more – just to be sure ‘it was or was not real?’ It’s called the S/Hero’s Journey!
Convergence Moment.
Consider Alchemy as the transforming of life into death into life. It never ends and neither do ‘our Souls.’ The Sun rises each day whether we notice or not.
Do you remember how you felt when you discovered the true identity of Santa Claus? That was the first time many of us confronted a “hard to accept fact.”
What is it that is struggling to reveal itself?
What has to be accepted?
What needs to be noticed?
The beginning has arrived in America. Americans are learning this is NOT a democracy – it’s a Republic. Hard to accept fact? The biggest surprise from the record-breaking vote was the emergence of Independents voting – making up 45% of the voting populace. No one group can save us – we have to work together now.
Almost – but not just yet – we’ll birth Option 3.
The “Left” and the “Right” are two faces of One-Party. Much will be revealed in the coming weeks and months. After spending four years witnessing the Red Shadow – America will spend four years witnessing the Blue Shadow. Hopefully – by 2024 – we’ll be able to balance it all out. Fingers crossed. It make take until 2028. America will never be the same.
This is a long process of eliminating what is not longer needed – what is no longer working – what is no longer pertinent or desired.
For those who can sit with stillness – patterns in the chaos are clear and oh-so-obvious. Every aspect of daily life is being reformed – reordered and realigned. Remember – we keep repeating the same choices every few hundred years.
We are part of something so much bigger than we can imagine now. Consider making choices that are best for the Next 7 Generations – instead of ‘right now for me-myself and I.’ Some struggle to think of anyone but themselves.
November offers three accelerated phases: a) letting go of the past – b) arriving at Ground Zero – c) entering the next ‘new.’ SLOW DOWN. Pace yourself. Have patience as Quantum Intelligence unfurls and unfolds. No one said it would be easy – it can be IF we can flow.
Welcome to the Deep End of Life – we’re free-diving this week. No one alive on the planet is immune to the forces of nature. (Think aging). Kindness is important – to self and others. Many are reeling and trying to reconcile some ‘thing’ (we think) – but it’s a ‘force’ – not a thing. Forgiveness is needed (it’s the KEY right now) – of Self and Other.
Expect at least one miracle – or – for some – a ‘Holy Sh*t-AHA moment.’ Stand in your own authority – honor your own choices and it’s OK to be different. What will “I” BE in 2030? Answer gently. Healing can begin NOW. Some are about to become even more spiritual – some will reestablish their relationship with their deity. Minds are adapting – through ‘sudden-self-realization.’ You are so totally going to surprise yourself this week. Get rest this weekend and Monday – let’s begin a – gain. THANK YOU! You are loved more than you will ever know. All is well! ❤
