Power and control have seduced humans over and over again in different disguises, whether its power over others or ourselves.
When our consciousness expands enough to KNOW that true power is attained ONLY when we can turn away from Power easily, then we can finally be at peace and harmony within ourselves and with all of creation.
Each day has a different rhythm to it. A different energy that it brings forth. Respond to that rhythm.
Do not try and control it……or shift it or make it bend to you. That will tire you.
Instead flow with it. Play with what you are given.
Hold it lightly and breathe with it.
Breathing with it, tune into it.
Tuning into it, dance with it.
Leave yesterday behind.
Do not bring it forward into this day.
Yes, yesterday may have be mighty fine…..but today is a new rhythm that needs a new dance.
Dancing today like you did yesterday, might not match the song that is being played today.
Yes you can force the day to change its rhythm…yes you can impose your free will definitely, but then it is no longer subtle and beautiful…….this dance between you……it is no longer magic.
In each lifetime, and indeed at every moment within each lifetime, we get the opportunity to upcycle our experience by making more conscious decisions and raising our vibrations.
However getting the opportunity does not necessarily equate to us making those decisions.
We can easily slip back into what feels familiar, even if it is not allowing us to evolve or grow and even if it is causing us huge suffering.
We choose to remain in this victim mode either because it is easier to blame than to take creative control over our own lives and experiences or we are conditioned to and seduced by fear, allowing it to take over our lives.
We either upcycle or recycle……..its our choice and we alone are responsible for what we are choosing
What will people say ?
What will people think ?
If I express my truth…….If I feel differently from others….will they shun me ….not validate me…..not accept me ?
Will I be rejected, made fun of, or isolated ?
Actually to start with, am I even supposed to have my own truth that is so different from everyone else’s ?
If I state I believe in magic, in miracles, in love, in children, in hope, in joy, in happy endings, in fairies, in angels and oh my goodness in God, in a very real way that others do not …..what then ?
Is it politically correct to say out loud that I believe that I have God inside of me and that everyone I meet is an aspect of the same God ?
When I know that so many feel safer when they can confine the concept of God to a statue, a building , a holy place or a shrine.
That the idea of God being real……being in our lives actively as everyone and everything we meet is shockingly bold and ” irreverent” and ” nonsensical”
That most are willing to lay prostrate in front of statues made by men or follow Gurus dilligently, refusing to establish a direct relationship with their own divinity.
Fear of it all, keeps us hidden in closets of our own making.
Where we dare not express what truly feels right to express, in our hearts.
Where we let our heads rule and hearts suffer in silence.
Where what people say control what we do or don’t do.
In the spiritual closet…….there is an unspoken agreement to talk about everything that is “safe” …that will elicit an equally ” safe ” response.
This dichotomy puzzles me and frustrates me, until I realise that I was in the same closet up until just a little while ago.
Where I was trying so hard to contain myself in there…trying to fit in places I was never meant to fit in.
The freedom of allowing myself to grow out of that closet….the freedom of not caring about the thought processes of those that are still stuck inside, instead feeling love and compassion for them.
That frees me from the frustration and the judgement.
That allows me to be me and allows them to be who they allow themselves to be.
To know that even the closet is only a perception and a figment of the imagination.
That the only thing that is “real”is inconfinable.
Earlier the difference was that so many masters were way ahead of mostly a collective that was still in its infancy.
So the way was, to lead dramatically….even though this perhaps was not a thought out intention.
The masters were merely living THEIR truth.
The masses however would only follow them to the limits that their fear allowed them to.
There was so much disparity between what they witnessed and what they understood that this disparity caused them to attempt to elevate the masters and put them on a pedestal.
By doing so they felt placated as they created enough distance between the masters truth and their own, that they did not need to step out of their comfort zones and do the uncomfortable work of digging within.
Indeed they cannot be blamed because as young souls, fear dominated and won.
After all, its so much easier to be a follower than to step out of conformity and become responsible for ones own reality.
The reason things are vastly different now, is because, as a collective, souls are no longer AS held by fear, having recycled through various lifetimes ( even if they are completely unaware of this concept)
Now those that are awake and are what we consider masters , are also those that are promoting a deeper awareness by not giving up on being human. They live seemingly ordinary lives and embody their divinity into their humanity so completely that it seems seamless.
They embody qualities of love , compassion , empathy , understanding, and are diligent in their spiritual work. They show through their beautiful flaws, how wonderfully easy it is to embody both our divinity and our humanity.
A few things ……
We came here, as individuated expressions of source and the deep longing we feel inside is the longing to be back to feeling connected as we were….as we feel the illusion of separation.
This then translates into a longing for others because we are unconscious to the real longing within.
That to be united with source.
Not with our partners, lovers ,children, parents ,family and friends.
They are all a reflection of Source…indeed they are source in all different forms and therefore they are you in different forms.
The separation is only an illusion..it is not real. So the suffering need not be…….remind yourself again and again of this one truth and you will remain calm and in bliss.
In Love.
In Joy..
Lets feel ALL of our feelings and let them find expression.
Pain has its own unique beauty as does joy.
In allowing ourselves to feel into both pain and joy, not denying either, we are alive.
Truly alive.
Suffering arises when we resist what is naturally coming up.
If pain comes, let it wash over you, washing you clean, taking away the debris that was hidden in dark corners. The rubbish that snuck in and stayed hidden. That accumulated.
And when joy peeks in , like sunlight from behind a curtain, throw open that curtain and that window and let it warm your heart, melting away all the guards around it, seeping into all the crevices and lighting you up from the inside so you glow….glow like a firefly.

Fear in various clever disguises, binds us up in ropes we thought we had cut through and discarded.
The kind of love we identify with and understand, when we are bound by our physical bodies, is a poor shadow of the real thing.
It is deeply conditional.
It is shadowed because of all of the fears (we feel) it carries with it.
Love and fear are like oil and water…they do not mix and one cannot be truly present if the other is. However we try and make a cocktail of it. We assume that love HAS to be accompanied by fear.
This is not true.
Our true essence is pure Love. If we peel away the layers, that is what we shall find.
Those that seek to control are very, very, very fearful. Those that surrender are brave.
Deliberately CHOOSING to let our fears go ….frees us of the bondage.
We do not have to do it all at once.
In fact this whole souls journey is about dropping the fears one by one and coming back to our purest essence of being Love.
Love is always always ALWAYS stronger than the most fearsome fear.
All we need to do, is REMEMBER that, every single day.
In fact, when we are aligned to Source consciousness, we are speaking from a place of being grounded and calm.
So most often our energy declares our truth and we do not even need to verbally proclaim or defend it.
You can instead , honour that another person has the right to their perspective as much as you have a right to yours.
So instead of trying to argue your point , or insist on explaining your truth to someone else, it is way better to say, ” how interesting you feel this way” , or, ” how interesting.”
This way you are immediately stepping up in your own vibrations and being in Alignment with your highest self as you are honouring yourself and the other at the same time.
In these situations, trying to express our truth can result in being manipulated, gaslighted and invalidated.
So much so that one starts to question one own self.
In these cases it is best to calmly walk away. There is then no need to try and explain our point of view or try and understand another point of view.
This brings us to, how do we KNOW that we are in a relationship or situation that is toxic for us and not merely being JUDGEMENTAL?
We need to once again tune in to our own inner guidance and our level of self awareness.
Once you KNOW who you are and know that you have the courage and the habit of taking responsibilty for whatever shows up in your own experience, that you have the guts to self examine, then it becomes easier to discern toxic relationships as opposed to healthy relationships where there are naturally instances of differing opinions.
You see, in a situation like this, you will almost always pick up on the fact that your energy is not feeling good.
That the energy feels discordant.
The other person might say words which sound harmless, but their energy does not match their words. Or when there is an aspect of manipulating your words or gaslighting you.
You will always know when its time to just quietly move away, if you develop the sensitivity to your own inner guidance.
This is self empowerment and self Love. 💕
People who have a high degree of empathy or sensitivity to energy or “vibes” have a tendency to also think of everyone else being as sensitive or empathic.
Hence the disillusionment and the feeling of disbelief if someone is being deliberately hurtful, calculating and manipulative.
Empaths who do not know they are empaths cannot wrap their heads around deliberate viciousness or hurtful behaviour.
Also a disempowered empath can be as hurtful and manipulative if they are in the victim mentality.
So it will be incorrect to assume that anyone displaying hurtful behaviour does not have any compassion themself.
They might be but are disempowered and weak so lashing out is their way of providing some sort of defence against those that they view as threats.
When you are an ’emotional empath’ which means when you pick up on the FEELINGS of others, you are more likely to go into a REACTIVE state almost unconsciously. This is because you are not RESPONDING to something that is being SAID or is CONSCIOUSLY TANGIBLE, such as words.
You are REACTING OR RESPONDING to the emotional state of the other person.
So if you are an emotional empath AND one who is unconscious of being one, you can easily go into reacting to something that was never outwardly expressed in words…only in energy.
Which gives the other person the power to turn and twist your reaction because they never SAID in words what their energy said to you in their feelings or energy.
So as an emotional empath, and KNOWING you are one, it brings you to the understanding of how important it is to NOT go into the REACTIVE state and remain neutral and therefore in your own power.
The power that is stronger than your innate need as an empath to make people around you happy at all cost ( sometimes at your own cost)
