Walking In Both Worlds

There is a lot coming in about integration, and dissolving polarity, so I thought it was a good time to revisit the energy forecast for the year. We are in full integration mode, so things will be shifting dramatically over the next few months. I must admit, I’m excited!

(Originally posted October 21, 2017)
The yearly forecasts are coming in early, so I’m going with it. It feels like September – March (equinox to equinox) is the ramp-up, and then March – September is the full bloom. I think this is just part of deconstructing time, as we commonly use it. The solar calendar is just a human construct.

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”  ~C.G. Jung

The only way to dissolve darkness is to shine a light. 2018 will do just that. All the hidden shadows, both personal and collective, will come to light and be dissolved. This is actually a great thing, like finally cleaning out that dark basement closet, but it may seem overwhelming and scary at times. Who knows what’s in there? Or how long it’s been there? Or if it’s moldy, or covered in creepy-crawly things? It’s ok to be apprehensive, as long as you keep cleaning.

With all the work you’ve done in the last few years, these shadows will dissolve easily… if you are willing to expose them to the light of conscious awareness. Once you acknowledge a shadow, and are truly willing to deal with it straight-on, the it will leave quickly. Denial and avoidance won’t serve you this year. In fact, the more effort you put into avoiding an issue, the stronger it will become, until you can no longer ignore it.

This isn’t about battling the darkness, it’s about integrating it with your light. It’s about going from polarity to oneness. The darkness (the shadow, subconscious programs, lower ego) are ready to come to light (awareness), and dissolve. These are just lost pieces coming home to be healed and released. The faster you become aware, the faster the shadow is integrated. Simple as that. But how it looks on the outside…

From a spiritual perspective, this is a much needed deep collective healing. From a human (muggle) perspective, it can be pretty traumatic. The best thing you can do is stay centered, and be a light for others. The minute you start focusing on the chaos of the world, you will sink into that shadow with them, which won’t help anyone. Many of us will be triggered by world events, but the most compassionate thing you can do is stay centered. Feel free to take action as you are called (activism, volunteering, etc.), but only if it is from a centered place, not an emotional reaction. Act, don’t react. Move from Love, not Fear.

There is a significant timeline split in action here. The important thing to know on that one is that we all have access to all timelines at any point, it’s just a matter of free will. Practical example: A human trafficking ring is exposed… if you choose (free will) to react and let fear and anger have their way, it will activate that vibration, and everything you magnetize will match it. If you choose (free will) to feel the emotions, mentally uncover the reasons you were triggered, then take action from a clear and centered space, everything you magnetize will match that vibration. You will be triggered this year, deeply, but how you handle it is crucial. Blame and judgement are a sign you are operating at a lower timeline, as they are based in polarity – if anything is “their fault”, it requires “us” and “them” mentality. Shift out of the polarity, and back into oneness.

Having access to all timelines can be a bit wobbly. Just because you are flying high in 5D one day, doesn’t mean you can’t suddenly drop back down into 3D. The key here is free will. If you are willing to do your personal shadow work, you will quickly move through the rough spots, and return to the higher timeline. Likewise, anyone living in the muggle world can pop up to 5D, as soon as they are ready. Nothing is set in stone, no one is stuck, and no one is left behind. But be fully aware that you can only make choices for you. There is no saving or helping, only leading by example.

Let me be clear – I’m not saying if you raise your vibration, the world will be unicorns and butterflies. No. Shit happens, and shit will most definitely happen this year. This is about your response to it, and taking full responsibility for clearing your own shadows. It is a mastery of integration, and while each lesson can pass quickly if you are committed to your process, it is still a process. Integrating the shadow brings us to a new level of personal power. It’s worth it. It’s time.

The greatest gift you can offer the world is that of your own transformation. As shadows cross the world stage, know that we are all bringing our darkness to Light. We are healing and releasing polarity, which is part of our evolution and ascension. Use your free will to jump in with both feet. And don’t be afraid of the dark.

“The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire.” ~C.G. Jung

We all want to be more present, but what does that really mean? Like most things experiential, it’s easier to talk about what it isn’t, and go from there. As humans, we spend most of our time time-traveling – projecting our thoughts either into the past or the future, when both are basically imaginary. Yet, it is also folly to completely disregard the past and future. The only point in time you are actually living is right now, but to do it meaningfully, we must have the context of our total existence.

Being present isn’t over controlling or under controlling the flow of life. Being present requires a balanced use of free will (masculine energy, 3rd chakra), and trusting some kind of greater order. The two most common ways to avoid true presence are 1) projecting into the past or future due to an excessive need for control, and 2) completely ignoring the past and future due to an aversion to taking control of our lives. Both options are an attempt to avoid pain, either by over-controlling or under-controlling, but both cause greater suffering in the long run.

Over-controlling is excessive use of free will. It shows an unhealthy level of attachment to the circumstances, people, or situations of our existence, either past or future. It may stem from the weight of responsibility, or a sense of having to prove oneself, or an overreaction to victim mentality. These folks think it’s all down to them, either all the past regrets or all the future progress, and they tend to believe “life is my creation.” An overactive and fragmented ego. This tendency to over-control needs to be tempered with Trust… Trust that life has a rhythm and a reason, and this force is active in all we do.

Under-controling is a lack of applied free will. It shows a basic unwillingness to show up for life, and take an active roll in co-creating existence. It may stem from a deep feeling of powerlessness or unworthiness, or an imbedded victim mentality. These folks just want to watch life, rather than participate. They avoid choices (like voting), and they numb out at every opportunity (like addictions), and it is all justified by saying “everything happens the way it is supposed to anyway.” An under-active ego glorifying animal consciousness. This tendency to under-control needs to be tempered with empowerment… the basic knowing that each choice matters, and life is always responding to your input.

Life is always a co-creation. Free will matters – take action. Divine Will matters – trust the flow of life. Learn from the past, plan for the future, but live right now. Think of driving a car… you don’t stare in the rearview mirror or at the GPS, but neither do you ignore them. You glance at them, but spend the majority of your time looking at your immediate area. Same thing. Don’t dwell on the past or future, but glance at them to be sure you are incorporating past lessons, and taking actions to keep moving toward your chosen future.

Once you are used to it, it’s just habit to glance forward and back before making a choice. Just like looking before switching lanes. Before each choice, I quickly ask myself, “Have I seen something like this before? Will this action keep me moving toward my goal?” Yes, before every choice. Awareness is everything. Mistakes still happen, and I add them to my learning experiences. I’m sure it isn’t a perfect system, but it frees me to live in the present, within the full context of my life.

I used to think loyalty was pretty simple – you stuck by your friends no matter what. But there has been recurring theme in my life, since childhood, spotlighting the fact that I have no control over someone else’s free will. No matter how much I love someone, I can’t stop their bad choices. (And just to be clear “bad” to me just means ego-based or selfish, not morally wrong.)

I am definitely a proponent of boundaries. Unconditional Love requires strong boundaries in conditional (human) relationships. I think where I got lost on that one is thinking that once people are on a path, they stay there. This just isn’t true. People wander around quite a bit, and some never return to their original course.

Is loyalty about following them down the spiral? Is it about reminding them of who they were or could be? Is it about holding their space in my Tribe until they return? Or is it more fluid than that? What if loyalty was a dynamic force, and not carved in stone? Unconditional Love only flows out, but loyalty requires presence and action, much like respect. Loyalty is a relationship and requires boundaries, like any relationship. Enter accountability.

Accountability requires personal responsibility and awareness. In my experience, once someone chooses an ego-based path, awareness drops off almost immediately, so personal responsibility doesn’t stand a chance. Once they are ego-bound, they become the classic narcissist, totally asleep at the wheel. It doesn’t even matter if I point out exactly where the fork in the road was, they can’t hear it. At that point they only feel judged due to my sudden lack of support. Enter guilt.

I have always felt terrible about those of my Tribe I have lost along the way, even though they were the ones who left me. I have felt betrayed and abandoned, but also guilty, like I should still be there for them. The guilt comes from an old warrior ideal of never leaving a fellow soldier on the battlefield. But they aren’t injured… they chose this new path… we aren’t even on the same battlefield anymore. This is why I need to reexamine my thoughts on loyalty.

Maybe it is simply disrespectful to expect people to remain who they once were. Maybe they were never those people at all, only a projection of my own mind. Maybe it’s okay to let people come and go, not just in my life, but in my Tribe (Inner Circle). Maybe the concept of loyalty has very little use at all, and really only Love matters.

That I can do. I can completely Love someone, and bless them on their path, even if it is in the opposite direction. I don’t feel obligated, in any way, to guide them, or stop them, or wait for their return. I just wish them well, and let them go. Hmmm…

To any of my Tribe who are now on another path: I love you, I wish you well, and I thank you for all the time and adventures we had. In deepest gratitude, I release you to your chosen path. And so it is.

There is so much potential right now, and the only limits are our beliefs. I invite you to play a little game with me called “What If?” It’s simple, but should be played for at least a few days to be effective. It’s simple… every time you have a solid idea about your world, form that opinion into a question, and then also ask the opposite question. For example, let’s say I think my religion is the best one… I ask these two questions: “What if my religion is the only right one?” and also “What if it’s not?” Don’t justify an answer either way, just ask the question, then let it go.

Certainty is the mortal enemy of possibility, so this game is about questions, not answers. In fact, if you find yourself justifying a belief, the game ends, and you must start over. Look at everything with the fresh eyes of wonder. Ready? Let’s play!

What if I’m on my spiritual path? What if I’m not?  What if all gods and goddesses are mythological and symbolic? What if they aren’t?   What if there’s an afterlife? What if there isn’t?  What if psychic ability is related to insanity? What if it isn’t?  What if every person in my life played their part perfectly? What if they didn’t?

What if the climate is changing? What if it isn’t?  What if western medicine is helping prevent illness? What if it’s not?  What if the USA is the best place to live? What if it’s not? What if voting really changes laws? What if it doesn’t?  What if money is the backbone of civilization? What if it isn’t?  What if conspiracy theories are real? What if they aren’t?

What if we are living in a virtual reality game? What if we aren’t? What if we can get to the level of programmer? What if we can’t?  What if the masses suddenly awaken? What if they don’t?  What if this is all there is to life? What if it isn’t?  What if hedonism is entirely selfish? What if it isn’t?  What if morality is just social conditioning? What if it isn’t?

What if I have more to offer the world? What if I don’t?  What if I am living to the fullest? What if I’m not?  What if I could heal myself on all levels? What if I can’t?  What do I want to be when I grow up? What if that ship has sailed?

Allow the possibility of possibility to flow through you. Maybe look a little deeper at areas you get stuck on. Once you are certain about anything, it becomes your prison, stunting future growth. In quantum physics, thats when the wave turns into a particle – a solid thing to bump against. When you allow yourself to be a bit unsure, you allow the Mystery of life to flow. What if you were open to the Universe surprising you? What if…?

I don’t even have the energy or direction to write… this eclipse is really taking a lot of work. I mostly just want to say you aren’t alone. Our physiology is changing, and it is… well, there aren’t really words, at least for me. Luckily, others have managed to use words to accurately describe this experience. This is why so many of us are basically saying the same thing – so one can do the speaking, while another is busy with integration. We’re all doing our part.

Please read their words, and take what is helpful.

Higher Trajectories in this Now: Influxes of 2018

I don’t believe in Divine Judgement, but I am a firm believer that humans misinterpret things on a regular basis. No higher authority is judging your actions, but it is just as incorrect to say “it’s all God, so it’s all good”, and then make poor choices. Free will most definitely matters, and some choices will evolve you, while others won’t. What if what became moral teachings in religion were really just tips on how to evolve more efficiently? What if the Mystery School teachings are hidden by dogma? Let’s take another look at morality.

Remove all judgements, of yourself and others, and look at these concepts with fresh eyes. Keep your mind open, and just ponder the possibilities…

I have always joked that my life is a delicate balance of the seven deadly sins… sloth and gluttony are always in the lead, but thankfully vanity takes a close third. The seven deadly sins are a Catholic adaption of older lists of vices, and the current interpretation of the list varies a bit, but I will discuss the list as I remember it. Remember, this isn’t about which “sins” are named, it’s about seeing morality in a different light.

Sloth – What if this is about being lazy, not with outward action, but with doing inner work? What if it warns about being stagnant in our personal growth?

Gluttony – What if this warns about the danger of addiction? Too much of a good thing is never a good thing. Hedonism (living solely for the pursuit of physical pleasure) falls under this title.

Vanity – What if this is about being ego-bound, and totally self-involved? Our current definition of “toxic person” or “narcissist” falls in this category.

Pride – What if this is simply about separation? If I think I’m better than you, I am setting myself up to be alone.

Wrath (Vengeance) – What if this is about judgement and projection? Throwing our baggage on other people, instead of owning our reactions. Or maybe to warn against victim mentality, using blame instead of making boundaries.

Greed – What if this warns about living from a sense of lack? Or maybe to remind us that we can all live by sharing, but only a few benefit from hoarding.

Envy (Jealously) – What if this warns of the pitfall of looking outside oneself for validation? Constantly searching for happiness and wholeness on the outside, and through comparison.

Most Mystery School teachings are hidden in a backward form like this. Instead of “don’t be prideful”, read it as “remember you are One”. So what would the opposites be? What are the seven life-affirming messages? Here’s one possibility…

Sloth becomes Seeker (do your inner work)
Gluttony becomes Discernment (make choices that evolve you)
Vanity becomes Inspired (being your true and unique self, which can’t be compared)
Pride becomes Oneness (we are all on separate, but equal, paths to the same Source)
Wrath becomes Forgiveness (of self and others, and reclaiming personal power)
Greed becomes Generosity (everyone wins when we share)
Envy becomes Solitude (look within, not outside yourself)

When you consider these “sins” from a more mystical angle, what lessons do you see? What pitfalls are they warning against? In what way are they trying to give you guidance to make life easier, to promote evolution?

And what about marriage and monogamy? What if “marriage” represents commitment, and “monogamy” is about discernment? What if sexual energy is so powerful it should be handled carefully, and treated as sacred? What if these concepts have nothing to do with right and wrong, but only proper use of energy?

And the three Graces – Charm, Beauty, and Creativity? All three are developed from within. Charm could be the magnetic field of an open heart. Beauty might be the spark of an awakened eye. Creativity is the divinity of humanity… that’s why kids love art projects.

Much to ponder here. All I know for sure is that literal interpretations of Divine writings are always brutal. Let the Mystery of life come through everything, and revisit beliefs often.

I know I’ve written several times about giving up the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, but keep going. It’s not just  the negative stuff that has to go, it’s everything. Our stories are not just defining our suffering, they are also limiting our evolution.

Everyone is on board with giving up stories of victim mentality, but it’s a little harder to give up the good stuff. I have always identified deeply as a Warrior… that identification is no longer serving me. I not happy to see that one go, yet it’s a matter of evolve or remain, so I evolve.

Letting go of old identities is never easy. We get rather attached to this personality. At the same time, evolution happens. Do you evolve or remain? Ego death is definitely a death, but this is actually a rebirth, into a higher vibration of yourself. What is the higher vibration of a Warrior? I have no idea, but I’m about to find out.

Change is the only constant. Everything is either in a state of growth or decay. It just is. Are you willing to leap into the unknown, and discover a whole new identity? Or will you keep defending the old personality, right to the bitter end? No one is judging you, there is no right and wrong here, yet the choices are not equal. Free will matters.

In order for our Higher Selves to descend, we have to make room. In order for our physical bodies to ascend, we need to let go. Let go of your mind’s creation, and let your Divine spark ignite. Keep on dying, and letting the new come through.

PS – I keep hearing the song ‘Returning” by Jennifer Berezan. Check it out – it’s comforting.

Actually, my Guides knowing who I am, said, “Time to get your shit together,” but putting your ducks in a row sounds better. They were speaking both individually and collectively. Anywhere we have been lost in denial, the truth will find us, and it will be painfully abrupt. This isn’t meant to scare or threaten, just to give you some awareness of the upcoming energy. Actually, the energy of the moment is pretty smooth. I expect the truth to hit us after the eclipse on January 31, 2018.

You are fully capable of handling whatever comes up, and once acknowledged, it moves through quickly. Well, acknowledged and acted on. Once you are aware of an issue, corrective action must be taken, or it will quickly worsen. If you have been ignoring your intuition about a needed change, expect to be right in the middle of that storm, until you take the action needed. It’s like training wheels for your free will. Once you are willing to take the steps yourself, the drama drops away, and the path opens.

Several topics were flying around my head this morning, so instead of repeating myself, I will include links to past writings.

Discernment – Even though no one is judging you, neither are all choices equal. Some things will evolve you, and some thing won’t. Doing yoga is just better for you (physically and spiritually) than getting high, even though neither one is “bad”. Don’t look at life as a dogma, but use your discernment in everything.

Spiritual Ego – There have been many people writing about this one. Remember, psychic or healing abilities are NOT the same as self-mastery (ego work). Beware of anyone trying to own and sell the answers (or cures). Yes, it can be quite beneficial to work with a teacher or healer, just be careful who you pick, and keep a constant watch on the relationship. Long story short: Love heals all, and look within for answers. Anyone pushing fear and dogma should be avoided. Build a strong spiritual foundation.

Integration – This is a physical ascension process, and the body is working overtime to make the adaption happen. Please be kind and gentle with your body. Speak and think nicely to it. I promise, it’s doing the best it can. Many people are getting sick as a forced rest. My immune system is stellar, so I got a couple injuries to keep me still. Nothing bad, but quite effective. Listen to your body – water and rest! And I’m getting that some of you are still missing the point… This isn’t woo-woo belief, this is actual changes to the DNA. Medical science will find these anomalies soon, and blood work will show the changes. The “new humans” are, in fact, new. It hurts.

Honesty – Be completely honest with yourself first, then others. Self-honesty isn’t self-judgement. It isn’t a reason to beat yourself up, just to take a real look at where you are on your path. Honesty with others isn’t ego-dumping. If you can’t avoid blame, then you aren’t ready to share. Hurt people, hurt people. Get your head on straight before you speak, so you don’t just spread your pain. Speak your truth thoughtfully.

Addiction and Attachment – Stop justifying addiction and attachment with 3 D words and beliefs. “I know this is an abusive relationship, but I’m in love, so I can’t leave.” Abuse isn’t love, so just own the attachment. “Marijuana is medicine, so I smoke some every morning.” Numbing out isn’t medicinal, so just own the addiction. Once you are willing to own something, and see it clearly, you have the power to change it. 2018 isn’t the year for denial, so really look at your life.

We are about to take off on this amazing ride called 2018. Be sure your ducks are in a row!

I just wanted to share my experience, so you know you aren’t alone. I’ve spent more time processing incoming energies through my body than ever before. We need a new word for this level of exhaustion. Yet, it’s only physical exhaustion, emotionally and energetically I feel amazing. Mentally, I occasionally have to remind myself that this is just a phase of physical integration, and not to let my frequency drop by thinking negative thoughts about it.

There is a definite call for mental mastery at this point. We get to choose the stories we tell ourselves, and that creates our reality. Are those aches from ascension, or from aging? Are old dramas coming up to be cleared, or are you stuck in the same cycle? The story you tell your body matters. While it is important to be totally honest with yourself, you are still responsible for the story you commit to. I tend to look at everything as a possible truth, then go with the one that allows me to grow.

Some of the physical symptoms I’ve had in the last few days: Sudden exhaustion, odd sleeping patters, itching, twitching while trying to fall asleep, coughing while sleeping, strange dreams, strange food cravings, eyesight comes and goes, cold flashes, waves of vertigo, waves of nausea, entire nervous system on and off, changing sense of gravity, and lots of flu-like pain. Emotionally, there has been clearing of old patterns to make room for these upgrades. When an emotional pattern shows up, I just look at how it worked in my life, then let it go. It’s much faster than the physical, for me.

Time seems completely irrelevant, as past and future give way to the eternal present moment. This month has moved so slow, yet we are already halfway through it. Stepping outside of time to embody multi-dimensional reality seems like science fiction at its best, yet here we are. Stay present, and stay in gratitude. Show your mental mastery.

We are all at a different place on the journey, and that’s perfect. Even those on the same wave are working on different nights. This is so one group and function as a Stargate and bring in new codes, while another can get some sleep to integrate. Then they switch, about every three days right now. This is to allow the body to ingrate successfully. The higher dimensional teams are trying to be gentle, it’s just a lot coming in.

Physically, be gentle with yourself. Your body is doing some serious work right now. Eat organic, take baths, drink a lot of water, spend time outside, and sleep as much as you can.

Emotionally, be willing to let go of old coping mechanisms. They won’t work anymore anyway. When you find one, really look at how you used it in your life, and be willing to release it.

Mentally, stay present, and stay in gratitude. Always. When things start to suck, mind your mind. Monitor your stories. Self mastery is mental mastery.

Welcome to the transition to 5D. 2018 is going to be interesting!

Words are just symbols we use to communicate an experience, nothing more. Without telepathy, we are left to verbally describe our experience, within the bounds of language. Because of this, word definition is vital to accurate communication. A good amount of argument is simply misunderstanding.

Several years ago, I was having a wonderful time speaking to a new coworker about our views on life. We had so much in common, he asked me what church I attended. I then used a word, which to me meant “tree-hugging, dirt-worshiping hippie”, but to him meant “devil worshiper”. Now that’s an awkward, and abrupt, end to an otherwise lovely conversation. He refused to speak to me for days. On my day off, another coworker explained what I had meant, but it was still a fragile relationship for several weeks. The word in question was “Pagan”.

To complicate matters, even the dictionary definitions of words change over time. Take this sentence: “I am content with my small house.” What does that mean to you? “Content” was once defined as “perfectly happy”, but has now become “it’ll do”. I know this because I have a friend that I’ve never communicated well with, to the point of needing a dictionary on a regular basis. Sometimes two. I just happen to have my Grandparent’s old one. There have been lots of changes to word use, and definition, over the years.

Now consider the word “Christian”… this word covers beliefs ranging from Unitarian to Catholic to Jehovah’s Witnesses, and hundreds more. When someone tells me they are Christian, all I know for sure is that the main god is Yahweh, and Jesus in involved at some level. It doesn’t even mean they believe in heaven, hell, or having a soul… all the things most people assume of Christians. Similarly, an “Atheist” simply doesn’t believe in an external, personified deity, but may be deeply spiritual. We do the best with the words we have, but a single word rarely adequately describes an experience.

Add to that the changing of word definition to cater to the ego of the user. This one is a pet peeve of mine in the spiritual arena. “Tantra” has always been an ancient and sacred energy practice, but now is used in all kinds of sexuality classes, including how to have better orgasms. “Polyamory” means “many loves”, but now is applied to promiscuity by meaning “many sex partners”. “New Age” used to refer to the evolution of humanity, but now it’s equated to denial (it’s all God, so it’s all good). You get the point. Without telepathy, we really need to define our words to have any meaningful exchange.

Plus, as human experience expands, we simply need new words to describe it. Ask fifteen people to define “love”, and you’ll get fifteen answers. We use the word “pedophile” to describe both people who rape toddlers, and who seduce 17-year-olds. Those are definitely significantly different situations, yet our vocabulary tries to put them under the same word. Both humanity’s highest achievements, and its lowest depravities need more words to accurately describe the experiences being had.

So the two things worth noting here are honesty and curiosity.

Be honest, with yourself and others, by saying what you really mean, not using the fashionable euphemism. Just own it, whatever it is, and be willing to speak openly about it. If you are hesitant to use words that actually describe the experience, rather than some softer version of half-truth, then that tells you that you just aren’t comfortable being honest with yourself. What are you hiding? What are you justifying? How are you deceiving yourself? It’s better to face those shadows, than to spread them with half-truths.

Be curious, with your own definitions and with other’s, rather than assuming what is meant. Labels are shorthand, not the finished document. Be open to learning, to asking questions. People are always more complex and interesting than the labels that they identify with. Your own beliefs are worth examining, and defining. And then redefining, as you grow. Before you react, ask “What does that word mean to you?” The answer might surprise you.

And by the way, Pagans don’t believe in the devil.
