Today I awakened to a new/old truth. It isn’t that I haven’t heard it before or recognized the truth of it, it is that it wasn’t completely *real* for me yet. And that is the reality of all “truths”: they are only truth when we step into them, no matter how many times we have heard them before the moment of awareness.
Today, in my moment of awareness, I have finally acknowledged that at any moment, any crossroad, I can choose my way forward. I have always allowed myself to feel that I followed a somewhat predetermined path for the most part. One step led to the next and so on.
What I have accepted today is that choices make all the difference. There is no predetermined anything. We are creators. We are not beings dropped into an unfamiliar and random existence and expected to not only survive but thrive. Instead, hidden in plain sight, we can step into the reality that we are creators. Which means I get to decide where I go from here. We get to decide who we are. We. Get. To. Choose.
I read that changing a habitual pattern of behavior (I.e. the roads you take as you drive to work) can change neural pathways in the brain. Mixing up how we approach our daily routines is a good practice.. Doing so allows us a freshness in our perspective, how we view ourselves and the world around us. It can move us from the worn down repetitious viewpoint we humans often carry (this again?) to a newness and an opportunity to really Be in the moment, bringing a greater awareness of every thing around you.
Choices not only have consequences, they can completely change the direction of our lives. For instance, we women have largely been taught that choice is out of our hands but the secret is that we were always the deciding factor. In our efforts to protect the sacred feminine wisdom we found ways to work within the patriarchy. What I have discovered is that, instead, we inadvertently boxed ourselves in and limited our glorious abilities.
In our efforts to protect the sacred feminine wisdom we hid ourselves, we adapted, and we inadvertently lost parts of ourselves. Today it is time to bring our entirety home and be all who truly are. We have hidden in plain sight long enough. We know the truth of how the world is supposed to be. It is time for us to awaken to this awareness and take our rightful place. Today I set myself free, free to be all of the glorious sacred being that I am. I ask you to set yourself free to be be all the glorious sacred self you are.
We know the secrets of creation and it it is time we embodied them. We are birth. We are life. We are creation.
And so I am told:
Balance has never been more needed or required in human existence. To reach that goal, women must once more take their rightful place at the side of the Divine Masculine principle. Only through balance between the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine can the harmony of the New World be found.
While the Patriarchy postured and controlled, women gestated, deeply within the sea of feminine wisdom. Hiding in plain sight was a brilliant way designed to keep women safe, but it has outlived its usefulness. All that you have learned traveling in the depths of the soul have reached fruition and must be brought forth so all can flourish.
Your Higher Self knows the way forward, has planned this day for centuries. Listen to your heart and heed its wisdom.
You were always more than you believed. Time to step up.
