All exists on the polarity of expansion and contraction. The breath is the most readily to study this should we will our awareness to the breath. We must expand ourselves an extent, remove ourselves from the selves we think we are to see beyond the perceptions of limiting beliefs. But go out too far and forget to return, or become entrained in the expanding principle of the present universe, contraction feels scary. It feels like dying. It is the experience of fitting infinity onto a nail head. With so much awareness of the spiritual nature of things reduced to the limiting form of the human experience, I become a foreigner, an alien of this place. Longing so deeply to return to Source, come home to the truth of my core being. And yet some unseen force keeps me tethered to moving the Earth onward. There is a responsibility of purpose that has brought me to this plane that I can’t shake loose. I’ve tried drowning it in alcohol, becoming depressed, anxious, worried. I tried to get lost in the physical sensations of sex and losing myself in other people’s realities. But that didn’t shake this feeling that I am here for a reason. There is too much mystery I’ve unraveled that not to give it to the world will be my downfall.

So here it is…

To understand the mystery of the human experience is to suffer and to sacrifice the self over and over again. I intentionally hurl myself into the deep waters of human complexity, asked to hold my breath while I untangle the knots of karmic suffering. Pull from the roots and return to surface gasping, shaking, and utterly exhausted. The trick is not to entrain to the gaping hole in the sand once the roots have been removed. Insanity lives here. You cannot and will never understand the Void, the Darkness, the Divine Feminine principle, the Unconscious. It is the place of No-Thing and it is the birthplace of Everything; every creation, every story, every single thread of Universe. It is a blackhole feeding on itself. The lesson here is humility. You cannot conquer this place. She will conquer you and show you your place. You’ll want more of Her, you always will, as the student of the mysteries. Respect Her and She’ll allow you to return to gather threads for weaving the soul’s tapestry. She is Who is ready to descend to this Earth at this time.

The Age of Aquarius is the rise of the Unconscious made Conscious. The honor of the Divine Feminine to bring back into balance the Divine Masculine. Unity of the Earth Self and Cosmic Self. It is the time for rebirthing ourselves anew.

Once the Unconscious has been made Conscious, mystery is lost. At least you’ve gained knowledge, but at what cost? Does what you think you need to know move the needle of your life forward, or is your thirst for knowledge perpetuating your own suffering? The Buddha says that ignorance is the root of suffering. Now I believe that in the age of technology we’ve hit the other extreme. Busy minds in overdrive thinking, wanting, demanding the convenience of adopting someone else’s dream. This is what technology offers us — stories of others and their beliefs. Why we become so engrossed in the drama of others is because we are a species mostly asleep to our own darkness, our own inner mysteries. We’ve gotten too accustom to taking the leap only if the outcome is known. We study the path ahead with the linear mind, rationalizing our reasons for existing. But how can we claim to know the Unknown? Maybe humility is the lesson we’re learning. For me it was understanding my mind is not my master, mind is what I master. So then who am I if I am not the thinking mind?

These are the mysteries ready to be revealed for those who seek them. Stories ready to unravel and become the thread of crafting reality anew. The mystery to me now is why remain yoked to another’s dream? Why continue to believe anything that limits your greatness? To know yourself is why we exist. It’s as simple and as complex as that. Taking back and reclaiming responsibility as sovereign, multidimensional beings. If you knew what I know you to be, you’d have begun loving yourself a long time ago. There is a reason for your life, and it’s not just to be born and to die. That reason is yours and yours alone. It is up to you to learn that reason and leave behind stories that keep you from uncovering your truth. Google doesn’t have the answer for you. Who you ask is yourself. Listen to yourself. Build a relationship with yourself. Date yourself. If we all took responsibility for being ourselves, the Greatest Dream the world has ever seen will truly be a wonder to behold. Dream Big Starseeds.
