Like so many of you following this week’s election, I have cried, raged, been lost in fear and cried more. I have felt shattered and hopeless. This morning my heart whispered to me “it is time for more.”  I began to  remember who I am and what I stand for. I began to understand just a tiny bit that maybe this needed to happen to bring us all together. I began to see and accept that what I see out there is a reflection of something unhealed within me, and I might need to do some work on myself. What in me that is unloved and reviled do I need to bring into the light and heal?

I am regaining my equilibrium and my willingness to look inside but it is a slow process.  I can’t forget that I am a Bringer of Light, even if right now I am struggling to find that light.  It’s ok to allow fear to travel through you. But it’s not ok to allow fear to take up residence.

On Facebook, like everywhere else, women who are devastated by the election are reaching out for connection and hope. One group came up with the idea of blue bracelets, a way to know and identify someone who is safe and like minded. A wonderful idea but another poster came along and injected fear of targeting with a whole lot of judgement and the whole idea fell apart.

The blue bracelets were a cry for connection, a need to be connected to others of like mind in a world that feels so very empty right now. And one person who missed the point of the blue bracelets and spoke from fear, shattered a need of many. “Performative” she called it.  What she neglected to take into consideration is that need to connect right now and that need is strong – a need to be connected to others who see, feel, think and dream as we do. We are fragile and need to be seen and heard.

Even without blue bracelets, we will find another way to know each other and in the meantime, we will all be connected in our hearts. Our hearts and our lights matter. They matter a great deal. We came here to bring the Light and we will continue doing that no matter what. You aren’t alone, even if you can’t see others.  Look into your heart and you will find us there, silently holding your hand, your heart, your Light with love and respect.

Connection is how we move forward. It is how our hearts heal. It is the candle in the darkness.  

And so we are told:  

Humans have forgotten that are all are One. They have forgotten their origins, their evolution and that which binds them together. The Light unifies. One does not have to agree with others to know the truth that unity is the answer. One can live with different goals and ideals than a neighbor does but there are many factors that create unity. Jobs, parenthood, families, extra curricular activities, hobbies, and so forth.  There are places you connect, even when they aren’t immediately visible.  Humans are more alike than most would like to think. 

Nothing you “see” is ever exactly as you think you see it. The only truth there is is that which lies in your heart. Breathe. Pause. Take time to remember that predictability was never a prime directive. You came here to evolve. Prepare to evolve but be certain that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

The United States is poised on a precipice. A hugely important election hangs in the balance, one that is truly life altering.  The astrological planets and ongoing solar storms continue to affect humankind, physically, mentally and emotionally. Many are awakening from the Dream, finding their way in a new world, one long written about but with no certain path forward. Many are still asleep, clinging to the past with all their might, fearing what change might bring.

In the midst of all of that, soul groups are forming, as people are drawn together through common interests and beliefs.  A desire for peace and unity motivates them and strengthens them. 

And so I am told:

A long awaited time indeed, one found in legends and fairy tales, is finally dawning here on earth. Human continued participation and commitment are necessary for it to fully manifest. Your trust and focused light create the foundation.  Humankind is changing in all ways, so much so that medical tests in the near future will find those changes to be discernible. While the manifestation of the New World is certain, the shape it takes is still in flux. Humankind is responsible for that, and humankind itself is at odds with itself, not understanding that all are one. Much will be learned in the coming decades and much will change. 

The possibilities are endless but the result is ultimately one of balance and union. Timelines have become fluid but moving forward will happen instinctively when remaining still and resisting will make life more difficult because “forward” motion can not be stopped.  One can only slow the inevitable. 

There is so much more available to humankind at this time as creation becomes a learned skill and hearts expand. Quantum leaps are taken. 5th dimensional living becomes more and more available. Humans often flow through dimensions daily, without being consciously aware or it. This process will become increasingly conscious and deliberate as it is chosen more and more.

Those who resist, along with the figureheads who lead them, will do everything in their power to sway the Light Born from their chosen path.  Fear, hate and anger are powerful tools particularly when wielded by those in power.  

It has been forgotten by humankind how very powerful the opposite of dark is. Love and light always conquer the dark.  The dark within each of human is conquered by the application of love. Imagine what that application of love by a multitude could do for a nation or a world.  

When you finish imagining the healing power of love and light being directed by the many, join your energy with all those who inhabit the world. You are all connected, you are all one. Step out of the game of duality and into unity. Into peace. Into love.  Into Light.

While dark is necessary to create balance, the human world has become unbalanced and balance must be restored.  Darkness cannot survive in Light. We cannot emphasize this enough. Standing in the Light, embodying the Light simply extinguishes the Dark.

In our life long journey of transformation and growth, we occasionally hit road blocks that threaten to derail us, as old wounds from our past resurface. Recently, this happened to me.

I found myself sliding down a dark rabbit hole, one I have travelled before more than once.  One I had faced, owned, worked through and was at peace with. And then abruptly, all that I knew to be true flew out the window and I huddled in the dark.  In this dark place, my fear manifested as back to back migraines, rendering me incapable of doing anything more than lying in stillness, alone with my thoughts.  Fearing regression, fearing I had failed to learn this lesson, I shut down completely, landing squarely in judgment and abysmal fear.

Over these many years I have learned to trust in my Higher Self and its magnificent inner guidance. As my headache began to recede, I was able to gather myself and begin to listen.  I began to channel.  Oftentimes, in situations like this, I hear or read messages that provide insight. Words spoken on the tv, words read in a book provide clarity and this time was no different.  I was able to see from a higher perspective exactly how and when this pattern of belief was created and how it underscored most of my earlier life. I was able to see how far I have come in my own personal growth and I rejoiced in that. I saw how some lingering fear still held me hostage and separate.  My guides reminded me of the power I hold to change how I perceive the world around me and how I perceive myself.   Judgment toward myself softened into love and acceptance.  Looking back on it now that I have moved through the barrier of self doubt and fear, I can see it as the magnificent lesson that it was, almost Yoda-esque in the inner teaching I received and the opening I experienced.

And so  I was told:

As a wise teacher once said, “Do or do not. There is no try.”  The decision is yours. We would ask you if you truly want to have fear dictate the terms of your existence…for that is what you are doing. 

Do not mistake feeling stuck for a permanent condition. It is mindset only and like all beliefs can be changed at will. 

Consider allowing rather than forcing and judging. We are here, will always be here, with you.  Your judgment and fear causes restriction which shuts down your ability for flow and allow.  Breathe. Release. Write.

The simple answer lies within the breath. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Repeat.  In that simple yet vitally important act, life continues for all.  Coming together. Letting go. Coming together again. If one were to speed the coming together and letting go speed up, they would blur together so that the individual steps would disappear. This then is the secret. Everything that exists is One. One’s perception of the One creates separation and division. The human mind must, in essence, slow it down in order to perceive it.  

This becomes an endless repetition, layer after layer, that creates the ages. The inhales creates, the following held breath embraces accomplishment, the exhale dissolves and the next held breath creates incoming change. Repeat.  The process is slowed in human life to such an extent that it becomes harder to observe and acknowledge. Slow or fast, it is still and always One.

There is little to be gained from holding yourself separate. You punish only yourself. Do you truly want to experience less joy and delight because you have decided to limit your exposure to what you perceive as rejection? We would suggest to you that what you experience as rejection is actually your own self imposed isolation. While developed to protect you, it only serves to imprison you.  

Live fully. Love fully. Be fully. This is your life to create as you will. Create  carefully and thoughtfully from your Heart. Fear has no place in creation. And finally, we urge you to remember that revisiting lessons from the past is not a judgment or a notice of failure. It is an opportunity to observe growth and perhaps learn something new that allows you to expand even more.  Learning and growing never stops. Be open and allow. Allow all of you to Be.

“Out of acceptance comes wisdom. Not an acquirement wisdom is, not information. This quality of tremendous acceptance is wisdom.”

Yoda 

“We are not here to live a flawless life.

We’re here to feel it, break it open,

& make the best of what we find inside.

You are allowed to start over as

many times as you need.”

Pictures  of doorways have always fascinated me.  The mystery of what I might find on the other side and the temptation of entering a portal to somewhere magical calls to me. In the last few years, I even began to collect these pictures in a file.   I also started a book of poetry called “Doorways.”  At the beginning of 2024,  it seemed very clear to me that this year is my Year of Doorways.

Many years ago, in a very powerful vision, I was shown to a doorway leading to a vast room filled with angels reflecting a radiant and enveloping love to me.  Warm and welcoming, I yearned to step through. However, I was still living in my wounding in those days, and so, in my fear, I chose not to step through that doorway.

Throughout my life, I have come to see opportunities, conversations, movies, books, the people around me, words, songs, every single thing I encounter, as a message that provides a doorway to something new.  This is a year of discovery, as I consciously welcome these doorways and utilize the gifts they present.  When I encounter a Doorway moment,  there is an actual visceral bolt of energy that occurs, drawing my conscious attention to that moment of awakening and its subsequent next step.

This morning the Doorway that showed up for me was the word Arrive.  I was playing a word game and “arrive” was the answer.  It literally zapped me right between the eyes and told me to listen.  

Arrive. A beautiful word, isn’t it?  The end of journey, end of a purpose, end of a commitment, all of these and so much more are contained within this one word. All implying that *something* has been fulfilled or accomplished.  

And yet….also the perfect word to describe a doorway into the new.  To arrive is to begin, to move past what has lead you to this point in time/space.  To arrive is to welcome that radiant light that heralds the magical first step forward, the welcome insight, that sudden understanding.  

To arrive is to understand Union as it encapsulates both endings and beginnings, allowing greater understanding, a widening perspective and spiritual expansion.

Humankind is now at a long awaited Doorway and all are being asked to step through. The Patriarchy is falling and the union of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine is at hand.  Only one pathway leads forward.  

I stand before this doorway and gaze upon the breath taking vista before me.  I am surrounded by stars, the doorway is golden before me.  Through the door I see happy people, speaking kindly to one another, I see gardens overflowing with vegetables, fruit and flowers. I see peace upon the faces of the people.  I hear laughter and see small children playing.  I hear happy dogs barking as they play.  I feel my own heart relax, my lungs breathe deeply and release long held tightness and a smile touches the corners of my mouth.  I remember this and how it feels to be open, to come together with others out of sheer joy.  The people before me beckon, encouraging me to step through and I find, to my astonishment, that this time I can’t wait to do so.

I hope you all will join me.
