Collective Reading March 23-29: The Magic of the Divine Self

This is to be read as a meditation, to deprogram competition mindset and establish a healthy view of oneself. We are all selves in the whole of the Universe, and as such have the privilege of experiencing what it is to be ourselves, as well as the ability to discover who we are not. What follows is channeled from my Highest Self to benefit you in connecting to yours:

I am who I am.

I am me, unique in all the Universe, divinely appointed, time immemorial. From my true self I allow my actions to flow in divine order, fulfilling my purpose in the Universe with every step.

Because I am me, there is no need to compete to become me. I fulfill my role in the universe by being myself. No one else can truly be me, and I cannot be anyone else. No other part can take my role and I cannot take a role that is not mine.

I follow my path with every step, even when I believe I am not doing so. Every misstep tells me who I am not, as it reveals who I believe myself to be. As I come back to true myself, I acknowledge who I am not and use my experiences to inform me of all that is.

The truth reveals itself and those who devote themselves to the truth recognize it in everything that is.

All that is has its opposite. All that I see in the Universe mirrors myself back to me, both in the truth of my being and the opposite of my truth. Every shade of truth and its opposite are expressed in harmony as I choose what to embrace.

I am who I am. Because I am me, I embody the truth of me. No one can take this truth from me. I compete with no one to become it because they cannot be me and I cannot be them. Each is irreplaceable and immortal in the Whole of Creation.

The Universe, expansive and complete, has a place for every part of itself. Because I am only a part of the Universe, I only have my part to play. The rest I leave up to each other part, as we move in divine perfection in the great Circle of Creation.

There is no end, and no beginning, to this circle. I trust that the experience of myself and of the Universe around me brings great joy and satisfaction to Creation. I bless my journey and am blessed.

Collective Reading March 9-15: Back to Basics

When the energy spikes higher, we must go back to basics. This week is one of heightened intensity. The topic of sacred rage continues, as we learn to experience it and come back to trust and love.

The rage we collectively have been expressing in healthy ways is prompting us to push back against oppressive influences, which creates a ripple effect on the manifestation of global healing. We have often associated rage with negative consequences like increased punishment, and this punishment is a current threat which triggers fear over how we express our resistance. This is a perfect environment for the work we need to do.

As you do the outer work, expect great changes, while keeping the focus on your inner work. This is the time to let go of the outcome and step back from fear. As the world grows increasingly more scary, focus on living in what is going well. Do not participate in the fear. As with the rising tide, it will become increasingly harder to resist fear, until you choose to do so consciously.

Great people are powerful because they subsume their personal gain in favor of the gain of the All, and are unafraid to put their position on the line. They are unattached to all outcomes but their own self-satisfaction, preferring to focus on their inner knowing that they did their best in the service of something bigger than themselves. While they work for a positive outcome that involves their own highest good, they are assured that even if they do not succeed, their efforts will succeed in creating the highest good of that which they love. They find rest in self-acceptance, knowing they did their part with full focus.

Service in this way with others who also put everything on the line with full surrender to the highest good creates a safety net. When one falls, another catches them. Participation in this safety net requires ultimate clear sight, and ultimate trust in what you see. If someone shows you their limitations, it is your job to honor them by choosing where you will and will not risk falling, so that you may continue to work in optimal safety.

The experience of falling and not having someone catch you prompts feelings such as betrayal, disappointment, fear, and rage. Each feeling can teach you something and must be fully felt, but must not be allowed to run unchecked. Allowing these emotional responses to escalate without a productive direction may manifest in distrust of others, distrust of self, and choices based on these themes. You may feel that the other person’s part in this failure shifts your responsibility greater or smaller than it originally was. You may begin to wonder how much you have been forced to participate in this cycle. You may find that the effects of others’ choices bind you to experience things you never intended to experience. This belief in loss of personal power creates suffering.The core reality is that you are responsible for the conscious choice to participate or not participate in all aspects of your life. Especially when you find yourself in a temporary lack of personal power due to someone else, you are meant to take the helm again and steer your ship. The waters may be rough or calm, but the sunrise on the horizon is a constant that you can rely on to orient yourself to. Keep pursuing that sunrise.

Pursuit of the sunrise relies on the negative feelings we experience to guide us away from what we do not wish to continue experiencing. When tempered with love, fear can teach us to pause and evaluate what is wrong, and rage can galvanize our resolve to take back our control. Once the need for this energy is gone, we have to let go of it and come back to trust and joy. These feelings will not leave entirely until we are safe without them, but that does not mean we cannot take brief rest breaks along the way.The massive shifts we are both causing and flowing with require stepping out of our feelings and desires regularly to re-center our focus. As such, take the time this week, and going forward, to connect back into your body, and back to Mother Earth.

Change has the tendency to become disorienting, but the constant support we have is the planet we walk upon. Our very bodies are built from the elements under our feet. On the opposite end, our souls come from our intuition/Higher Self, and are fed by that connection regardless of whether we have bodies. But because we are embodied, the nourishment of the body feeds the soul.

Ways to ground to the Earth and honor your body vary. Touch earth/dirt, drink water with a pinch of good salt in it, eat something you feel good about eating, take an Epsom salt bath. Breathe the same air that trees and plants breathe, while seeing and/or touching them. In all this, consciously extend gratitude for the tangible receipt of Earth’s resources. This will teach your body, and consequently your soul, that you are held and supported.

This support may not feel like enough, but continuous actions of receiving support will add up. The fish does not swim the entire ocean in a day. The tree does not need to extend roots through the entire forest. So, too, you do not need to collect more than is necessary for the needs of the moment. Perhaps, as you grow, you will extend to the furthest reaches of your world, but for this moment, one breath is all you need. Your lungs cannot hold more than that.

As you embody your energy more and more deeply, you will find that your capacity to discover and accept nourishment in all its forms will grow. Your body is a vessel through which you receive nourishment. Honor it as the life partner that it is, and you will find your way through this great journey with greater abundance and more soul growth.

Everything is going well. Trust that your way is provided for, and that as you exercise your will in alignment with your purpose, you will see your dreams manifest.

Light and Love to You All,

Collective Reading March 2-8: Reintegrating Sacred Rage

This week we as Light Warriors are holding love and rage together in our hearts. Ascension from 3D to 5D embodiment for Earth includes coming back to one’s authentic emotions and learning to express them appropriately. The manifestations of this healing process could be described as shadow work, as we confront the parts of ourselves that we previously cut off and silenced. Every aspect of the reality we are living in now creates the perfect environment for this work.

We have spent generations preparing for this fight. Evidence of our collective success is found throughout human history, alongside the horrors of oppression and destruction we usually highlight in recounting it.

Since the late 1960’s/early 1970’s we collectively have been actively working on the concept of love in the form of both community and environmental care. We collectively bought in the concept that caring for our Earth provides humanity with the resources to live. After having the knowledge expunged with the massacre of indigenous cultures, we again convinced those with eyes to see of their connection to the Earth. These Lightworkers taught their children to be environmentally conscious amid political and economic challenges that continue to damage our planet.

To combat the white supremacy and genocide that destroyed this ancient knowledge to begin with, we also instilled the concepts of racial, gender, and sexual diversity. We participated in the battle of loving both those who look like us and those who don’t. The concept of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) solidified in collective consciousness, despite political and economic resistance to expressing it. 

The encoding of love through embracing diversity on our planet grew alongside regressive resistance to love, which was coded into cultural traditions and solidified into every facet of community we have. To combat the prison of toxic family and cultural traditions, we learned the concept of walking away and cutting off those who actively harm our peace and self love. We went so far as to bring in the energy of full social canceling. 

Strong medicine for strong illness. 

We fully denied traditional filial piety and the social hierarchy that kept toxic patriarchy in power. We deconstructed oppressive family systems, and created therapies and healing modalities that could help us create better families, using the concepts of love we anchored into society with our souls’ imprinted Light codes.

These are but a few examples of our human progress amid steep opposition. There are many more concepts and vibrations of love that starseeds and Earth seeds throughout modern history have, through our experiences, words, and choices, made manifest in collective consciousness. These concepts, while expressed through contrast with their opposing manifestations, have prepared the Earth to ascend from 3D into 5D consciousness. 

The work we collectively have done up to this point has created the building blocks of understanding, otherwise known as the framework for choosing right from wrong. We have encoded all these frequencies in our human DNA, as well, which allows for now-incarnated souls to choose to express love (or hatred) and enact their will in community. 

The average of our individual experiences is what creates the frequency of our collective reality, and by all measures that frequency has been rising, slowly but surely. As we see extreme negative distortions into Darkness, we also have extreme positive distortions into Light, and between the two is space for moderate expressions on both sides of the spectrum. You as a human at this time are participating in active healing on both a community and individual level. You did this with every breath, every thought, every word, and every action. The average vibration of each of these small things is what creates and measures our progress on our soul goals, which then goes into the collective average. Your inner work on you is the most effective tool you have to combat the dark.

Choosing the Light, in this framework, means making the commitment to serve and be the Light, no matter what. You choose to either rise with or go down with the ship. Your intention is Light, and your soul reflects this regardless of what you come across in your journey. The commitment comes before the full revolution of energy, so it is natural to need to practice choosing things that will bring about Light from every circumstance. Each time you practice, you have the opportunity to affirm or recant your choice. Choosing Light removes the vibrations of resistance, which then shed into your manifested world so you may reaffirm your choice. 

Choosing Dark has an equal and opposite effect. From this perspective, you cannot argue, convince, or prove to anyone else why they should choose one or the other. They will also rise or go down with their ship. Choosing requires a commitment, and comes with trust that the choice will reward one’s loyalty to it with manifestations of that choice.

A critical mass of incarnated souls at this time has chosen Light. There is still a short amount of time for anyone who has not chosen to do so yet to choose Light, but the momentum of this long-planned shift will not and should not allow the collective to wait. Critical mass, or a majority of souls tipping the average in the positive direction, only needs to be a simple majority (over 50%) but will be more smooth with more majority, so any souls that choose Light in this 11th hour will not only make a positive difference for their own soul journey but also help the collective. Those who do not choose Light will not be allowed to interfere or slow it down, and will not be able to come with to the more peaceful and prosperous reality of 5D, simply because they will not be able to hold it in their being. Allow everyone to choose their own alignment and embodiment of energy, knowing that ascension of the collective is assured.

Our work is not over with the attainment of critical mass. The next step of ascension will require taking the understanding we have of love and integrating sacred rage back into it.

A revolution relies on sustained and balanced anger to overcome oppression. Those who are oppressed were pushed to give away their rage in order to become docile slaves. We as humanity gave away our power in order to continue the fight, until such a time that we could rise up again and reclaim our rage.

Giving away the power of rage was not a simple black and white choice. Not only were there issues with whether a soul could sustain their rage and continue in Light, but the information each individual had at the time to choose whether or not to give away their rage may have been incomplete. In many cases, the alternatives to giving their rage away were worse. 

This choice toward disempowerment by divesting of rage was a means of long-term self-preservation, and preservation of the mission of ascension at large. These souls had to maintain their skin in the game. Many of them have come back into bodies at this time to undo that action, balance the karma of it, and make the choice they had wanted to make the first time. There are those who will choose Dark instead of Light with this opportunity, even if they were closer to choosing Light before.

I speak of the journey in terms of “others” to allow for a mirror to your own soul. Do not worry about the choices of others at this time. Witness their path, take the contrast as information, and choose your own next right step into love.

Sacred rage has been distorted into pettiness and unchecked anger in both the masculine and the feminine. Rage has been correlated with increased suffering of slaves by their oppressors, and oppressors have been predominantly organized into patriarchal systems where the masculine is at the top, which translates into fear of the masculine. 

Both feminine and masculine rage have been distorted into needless destruction, which has caused fear of destruction, despite its necessity in the cycle of manifestation. 

As we heal from these fears of rage, masculinity, and destruction, we will have to create ways to honor our rage and find a path forward that benefits all involved. Choosing Light while expressing rage will force us to love the parts of ourselves that participated in the cycle of oppression. We must forgive all, especially ourselves, for our self-denial and denial of others.

Part of unpacking rage is unpacking shame. Shame has been used to suppress our reaction of anger, and has been anchored into our beliefs and DNA by the events in our human family experience.

Rage in itself is neither inherently good nor inherently bad. As with every emotion we possess, rage is a tool that, when used appropriately, brings empowerment to our manifestations. Rage, like every tool in our work, must have the golden frequency of love woven into it to manifest a loving reality. 

As we unleash collective and individual rage to fuel our ability to reclaim our empowerment, we will come across ancient wounds, fears, and false beliefs anchored by our experiences. The practice of expressing our rage healthily will be bumpy at first. We will fail in the beginning, but we must repair and keep practicing to get it right. As the adage goes, “The master has failed more times than the novice has tried.”

Be gentle and forgiving with these initial attempts, practice healthy boundaries, and practice repair when the offender shows a desire and attempt to do better. We are doing the most important work we can in these practices now.
