How is this eclipse portal affecting you? If you’re feeling tired, wired, and your energy is rather erratic don’t worry, it’s just part of the energy cycle and it will feel better after a while. We’re in the midst of a period of profound change and this is not an easy time.
It is never easy to force any dense energy out of its entrenched positions – those roots run deep and they have been in place for a long time. If you have ever tried to dig up ivy plants, you know what I mean. No matter how much you dig up, you still get new plants coming up again and again. It takes several passes to get rid of all of the roots.
November is a critical month on the ascension timeline and it is just one part of a multi-year process that began with 2020 and everything that has happened in the past 2 plus years. It looks like we’re going through a dark process but we are really seeing the dark and density in its full state for the first time. What do you do when you’re facing darkness? You remember that there is always a dawn and the key to redemption is the light on your path of Spiritual Initiation.
There is an old saying that says ‘it is always darkest before the dawn’. If you have been up around 5AM, just before sunrise, you know this is true. There is a period during the night when it gets very quiet, even the animals that roam during the night are still. The birds are not awake yet and there is no sound. It is in this moment that it is the darkest and the world is poised and waiting for the sun to rise.
And in our lives and with our life challenges we go through a similar process except while we’re fairly certain the sun will rise and there will be a dawn, we cannot always be sure in our lives but we must, because the light brings the dawn of new understanding to us just as the light brings the dawn and a new day for the world.
If you have ever been through a challenging time in your life you know that at some point things look really bleak. There is no hope, you do not know what to do, you feel lost, stuck, and hopeless. You begin to question your motives, power, and choices. You look for blame and then move into shame and guilt and start judging yourself and every choice you have ever made in your life. You feel stupid, ignorant, and totally clueless. What was I thinking, how did I let this happen to me, and what am I going to do to get out of this mess?
Sound familiar? It should because we have all been through it. We all go through spasms of self-doubt, fear, judgment, and condemnation when our lives get turned upside down. What we thought was an innocent and clearly beneficial move or choice turns into a tsunami of results that we don’t want, each one worse than the one before. What happened? How do our lives get turned upside down and why? We don’t deliberately choose to suffer and yet that seems to be part of the process, by design.
Well, it is in a way but the design is really to get us to shift the energy vibe and move the timeline to a different frequency. And that is part of a process of initiation, what I call the Path of Spiritual Initiation, a concept I initially introduced in 2004. It’s our spiritual pilgrimage journey from dark to light, from despair to directed action, and from victim to victor. I call it ‘the 5 steps that can change your life’ and it’s true because the process does change your life, as it nudges you towards the activation of your energetic awareness and sovereignty. But the way it happens is not very empowering, usually taking you to the darkest night of the soul in the hopes that you will find the light within yourself to ignite the dawn of a new awareness.
Now take note, it is not one single journey, it is the path that every single experience takes because everything is part of our personal journey from dark to light, which is a shift in energetic frequency and vibration and not a test of our ability to withstand tremendous, sustained suffering.
If we understood the Path of Spiritual Initiation we would get through this suffering a lot faster because we would understand the reasons and purpose of the lessons. We would also understand what we have to do to stop them and move into the enlightenment and beyond stages. Of course we want to do that but we often want too much too quickly, we wait too long to acknowledge the spiritual initiation process and then we have to create a miracle to fix the situation. I have done that and it works but it is very hard to do. Let me share an example.
Listen to the podcast for the story of how I created a miracle that got me out of a huge 300 pound dilemma during a very dark time, and I learned about my own path of spiritual initiation.
Why does this happen to us? When it is time for us to move up the ascension spiral we get a nudge that things are not working, energy isn’t moving, and we are not expanding. Now we can pay attention to that nudge and start making changes but sometimes the nudge is so faint and weak that we ignore it. It is not really causing us any immediate problems and even if it is causing us some discomfort it is not strong enough for us to make it a priority. And we don’t prioritize it until the nudge becomes a shove and then we get shoved hard enough that we fall flat on our faces. Now we are paying attention, the situation is very clear, and we want immediate relief but we’re on that energy timeline and we have to change it before our life situation can change.
We have just stepped into a new spiritual initiation journey and we don’t even know it. All we see is how bad things are and how ill-equipped we think we are to change it. We don’t realize that the awakening part is the first step in a journey that can be short or long, depending on how we proceed into the next step, the trial. If we understand that it is a trial we can shorten the process. But if we think it’s a punishment or that we are just unloved and unlucky, we are in it for the long haul.
