As the things that no longer resonate with you fall away, resist the temptation to see a failing in it...
This is not a time for settling for what will do, it's a time to create what you want...
What you have always settled for has never truly served you...
It is time to anchor in what does!
When we hold someone in judgement, they can be nothing other than that to us until we release that judgement.
We create a whole world of dynamics this way... most of which are rooted in our experience with the past, not our present reality.
Open up your heart, open up your mind.
Let yourself be surprised by what is, instead of bound by the limitations of your past interactions... and your resulting expectations.
Authenticity and Intimacy are two things most of us want in a relationship... Yet this is often a thin edge to balance upon.
In the name of truth, we may say things we thought needed to be said...
But in saying them the other person shuts down, creating distance instead of intimacy...
Or we can create a huge gulf by not sharing something that needs to be said...
Is there truly peace in that silence?
It is such a tricky divide between any two beings.
The souls so want to reach out and connect... and the egos so need to protect and divide...
Ah, the dance of being human....
Having feelings of loss, sadness, hopelessness and fear are part of the spectrum of emotions.
While they are feelings we want to process and overcome to come back into balance, they are not "shadow" unless we put them there....
Shadow is in NOT owning them in yourself and seeing them only in someone else... and judging them for it.
Behind every judgement is a fear.
Ask yourself, instead, why the expression of these emotions scare you....
We need Structure to interact with the Energetic, consciously.
We need to stuff it into bodies, words, concepts and institutions so we can move it around and touch it, feel it, think it...
We use archetypes to contain its many nuances and words to hold its many meanings....
We live in bodies to experience it... and create institutions to connect with it.
Ultimately, however, all these constructs are is just scaffolding, containers for Source. It is what is IN the pot that is most interesting... not the pot itself....
To argue about the validity of the structure, the color of it, its gender, or the details around how to use it properly is to lose sight the forest for the trees.
And yet, so many wars are waged around these differences... personal wars, religious wars, gender wars, race wars...
We need to remember to align with what is inside the pot instead of identifying with the kind of pot that best contains it...
It is not the lips that make a kiss...
We need to remember who we are.
Since 2008 we have been in the middle of dismantling old cultural paradigms that no longer serve us so that new ones can come through in 2016. The sun is coming out of a parallel phase of high activity that peaked in 2013. Every eleven years the amount of solar activity, the number of large solar flares that happen over a given year, ramps up to markedly higher levels and then back down. Solar flares are bursts of light and electromagnetically charged plasma that erupt from the sun’s surface and blast out into space. If the sunspot emitting the burst is pointed toward Earth, we are in the direct line of fire for receiving this electromagnetic radiation. Most of us are familiar with the Aurora Borealis, these are created by these blasts from the sun interacting with the earth’s magnetosphere.
