“Only in my pain, did I find my will. Only in my chaos, did I learn to be still.”

In the midst of a profound shift in human consciousness, a new way of thinking is evolving into a deep belief that we could manifest what we want if we think right. Life is not a random series of events, it’s a highly intelligent unfolding and as Anais Nin once said, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

Desire to change our reality is the new form of control, believing that we can control our reality while serving self entitlement and grand expectations. In order to awaken from the illusion, life breaks our hearts through adversity, forces us to trust, opening our awareness to a new perspective.

With the new level understanding, the arrogance of the human ego dissolves. We become less interested in changing anything in our lives and more interested in what is going on inside of us. We begin to unhook from the program and no longer a separate being. Instead we merge into the creative flow of life.

Love and Gratitude.

“Suddenly you’re a ripped into being alive. And life is pain, life is suffering, life is horror, but my God you’re alive and it’s spectacular!”

As we become more and more aware, a strange phenomenon starts happening. Our witnessing self increases in integrity and expands becoming stronger and stronger. A process of self-examination begins, a major cleansing that rids the psyche of useless self-concepts, belief systems which then turns into an existential crisis. Intense doubt in everything we’ve known to be true. Our sense of reality dissolves and deep understanding of illusion emerges as we fall on our knees, we become one with the infinite valley of the void where letting go of the attachments are no longer a choice.

In mythological terms, Dark Night of the Soul is a journey into the Underworld where difficult trials must be completed before returning with a newfound meaning, purpose and a huge responsibility. Surviving the dark night of the soul is a mental paradigm-shattering process and suddenly we realise that the ability to fall apart and come back is a real strength in the face of suffering with scars like badges of honour. We’ve been fire tested, initiated and connected to something much greater than us, only to do it over and over again! Each time returning with new wisdom, tuning into the flow of the cosmic orchestra.

Love and Courage.
