As we move further into consciousness, we are being asked to no longer blindly, or unconsciously, protect based on fears, old pain, and in support of walls long-ago erected. As we grow, we are being nudged into protecting as a responsibility, from an unwounded place, a place of clarity and strength. Grab on to your Truth and pull from there. You aren’t your pain, but when it’s really insisting on your attention it’s time to listen, to face the beast and look it strait in the eyes. When it’s this close and personal there’s no going around it. You have to go through. But don’t get caught in the vortex that can take you down into a tailspin. Look it in the eye, realize you are enough (brave enough, strong enough, smart enough, worthy) to overcome what stands in your way.
And if it’s blocking your path and making it clear that you’re going to have to reckon with it, understand this is your work right now. The flow has been interrupted because the energy in the way needs to be removed. In order to remove the energy, to overcome what stands in your way, you have to get to the heart of it. You have to comprehend its nature. You have to decipher the code before you can pass into the next chamber of your evolution. This can’t be done by allowing it to throw you off balance. It can only be done by retrieving your strength, standing in your truth, and loving yourself forward-loving yourself whole. You are being taken to such a deep level with it so that you can see how much the unconscious stuff is still effecting you. You have to go to the heart of it, deeper than the thoughts, and realized that the theme is something that you need to excavate in order to be unlimited and true and fully in joy. You have to embrace the message in order for it to go. But first you have to take the question into your heart.
So there’s an element of tough love involved here as you disengage from the power struggle within and demand that a) the parts of you that are seeking dominion cease and desist, and b) the part of you that is consciousness, that is sovereign, that is truth, steps up to the plate and confronts that which is reeking havoc. Here’s where the updated armor comes in. This armor is about protecting your self, in many ways, from yourself. Up till now, we have projected the ‘enemy’ as being somewhere ‘out there’. But along the way of this journey, we will come to see that the biggest enemy, the most treacherous and deceitful by far, has been the one within. And as it all comes full circle, we are being redirected to the relationship we have with our own selves. For in order to move forward in our endeavors, to becomes open in communion with others, to be truly joyful and fulfilled, we have to release ourselves from our self-imposed prisons and break free of the ways of being that have kept us stuck. It is about setting boundaries with the part of you that is acting out and placing limits on what you will allow and wont. It’s about not allowing yourself to be pulled under by the guilt, doubt, resentment, but instead becoming in tune to what it’s telling you. This is the process of becoming conscious and learning to quiet the unconscious by facing it rather than running, leaning forward rather than holding back, and mastering your emotions, rather than being ruled by them.
In essence, we are protecting our selves from the harsh elements of the unconscious. We truly have no idea of the scope of deception we are facing, until we enter the castle where no souls have been imposed. So much of what we say and do to ourselves is completely unconscious. The unconscious governs this aspect of us, the one that deceives, demeans, dichotomizes, and distracts the self through worry, doubt, feelings of resentment and regret, and negative head spins. None of this is loving. Yet there is this theme, or undercurrent to the self-reproach, telling us that it is for our highest good, that by climbing into the loop and retracing the groove in our heads, we will learn something, we will understand how ‘not’ to be whatever we are reprimanding ourselves for. This, sweet ones, is the deception. For there is no way through that door, in fact there is no door there to begin with. You can’t solve something by operating in the energy that it was created.
It is though clear though that this ‘aspect’ of ourselves wants us to learn something. It’s speaking too loudly for us not to hear. And if we can extract ourselves from the loop log enough to ask with our hearts (very important not to continue the dialogue in our heads)- but bring it into the heart and then ask ‘what is it I need to know?’ “What is the gift in this?’ There is a valuable gift, a treasure, a jewel, to be had when we determine the rules of the game. When we are suffering or under duress; when we are at war with ourselves and playing out the vicious cycles in our heads; when we feel we have gone to our depths, we are being given the opportunity to rise higher.
We are being groomed in ways to do it different, to be heart-based, integrity-centered, and power-filled creators in our worlds. This means that we must learn to navigate the perceived dangers within and without and establish what in fact is a threat and what is only serving as an illusion. There are thoughts and feelings and life experiences that you can slice through and disable by realizing the truth, by rearranging you perspective to allow for the possibility that these are not serving you. But there are also those that won’t so easily move aside, or are just down-right gripping, that are here to teach us. They are here to point the way. Just remember not to get swallowed by the signpost. You will begin to learn how to discern when to stay and when to go. And in this, you will better be able to honor and appreciate your progress. You will begin to see that you must stop along the river of your path and polish the stones that have hindered your flow.
So, in the face of regret, ask what is it I have lost? What experience has escaped me? What am I missing out on? What am I sacrificing over and again that my ‘regret’ is bringing to my attention? Are you not participating fully in life and missing out on making new memories? In the face of doubt, Are you cowering and not standing in our power too often and have been for too long? Have you missed the chance to be solid in who you truly are? In the face of guilt, are you ignoring or overriding the inner voice that guides you and missing out on the connection to your higher self, while inadvertently making the path harder than it needs to be? Trace it to the heart of what’s speaking to you. What’s the big message? What really needs your attention and correction? Zoom in and step over the barrage so that you can see clearly and consciously make a difference rather than continuing to get caught in the trap. The message will only get louder as the need to extend consciousness throughout your being increases and the drive to become whole ensues.
Aloneness, separateness, and isolation are all core issues that we are releasing. We are feeling them so that we can be aware of their presence in our consciousness/unconsciousness, and so that we can embrace (love the part that needs healing) and release them. Some things can be released. Some things, the really old, deep stuff, seems to need to be held, acknowledged, and loved before it will go. We need to look it in the eye and see it for what it is, on a deep soul level, from a heart place, before it will transcend, before we can transcend, and be released from it.
We're learning how to find our way through and love our selves whole again. And we're doing it by standing in our power and living from our truth. We are finding our way to wholeness and creating the space for the flow. We are becoming stronger every day, even in and especially in the face of adversity. And as we stand in our integrity and face our fears and demons, they become a source of love and power, and we become more. Your sword is your truth, your armor is love, your way forward is integration. Be encouraged, be proud of how far you have come, and be solid in the strength and wisdom of who you truly are.
Upward and onward!
Love to you on your path!
