Even though you sense an unknown world of aliveness around
you, it is not possible to access it until the spell that you are undeserving
is broken. This trance is subtle and is deeply embedded, the result of both
personal and collective misperception.
The cleansing of this perception requires full-spectrum
attunement and reorganization at psychic, emotional, somatic, and transpersonal
levels. But the guidance is already here, it is not something which need be
produced for it is not caused. The signs, symbols, and colors are wired
into you, but are often hidden and must be accessed in non-conventional ways.
There is no temple greater than your own body.
You are not broken nor in need of fixing, nor is something
cosmically wrong with you that must be repaired by way of spiritual process.
You are not a project to be solved. But something majestic has been forgotten
and displaced. This vision cannot be released into a field of self-abandonment
and turning from the fire, but only into an environment of kindness and
presence, where the circuitry can be re-encoded with empathy, attunement, and
new levels of creativity.
This journey will inevitably require an encounter with the
darkness and will thus not be all that popular. There are no quick steps, no
fantasies of consistent feelings of happiness, no guarantees of getting
everything we want. Thank god. In the crucible is where the raw material for
the work of love is found, buried inside the rage, the emptiness, the
heartbreak, and the disappointment.
By way of the processes of deflation and reorganization, we
step into the wholeness of the sacred world, which will never, ever conform to
the way we thought it would be. It is unprecedented here. A place of wisdom.
Nothing is to be discarded any longer. The path is everywhere.
