Discerning Duality

January proceeded with episodes of destruction and celebration. A terrorist attack ravaged New Orleans at its start, but then the city saw record snowfall and super bowl festivity that brought out a childlike joy and revelry for many.

One side of the country was affected by a major water event, while the other was decimated by an uncontrollable fire. These extremes have been playing out in humanity too. Surges in emotional reactivity and polarizing perspectives/opinions saturate media and overwhelm much of the populace. Everyday there is a new mainstream revelation that is spun in very different fashions depending on the media outlet.

In the Age of Transparency, this overload of information and interpretation has great purpose. We are here to discover our authentic voice and heed our inner light. As the noise gets louder externally, and the manipulations more obvious, more are waking up and willing to follow their own course and counsel. We each have a soul-inspired purpose with spiritual guidance. If we are too externally focused, we often can’t hear or feel it. When it is time, we undergo changes that encourage and facilitate our inner focus.

Humanity is rapidly changing. Experiences of great turmoil can and do serve the light ultimately, even when they are orchestrated by those with negative intent. Reality is relative, and what one experiences as “bad” is often another’s perceived “high road.” Our history is filled with cultures forging through progress at the expense of another’s; we will learn to consider BOTH perspectives in our evolution out of a limiting and divisive duality.

Compassion is a burning ember of devotion that is willing to go beyond comfort and similarity. Fear is truly the only culprit in the way of transcendence. Those willing to bring themselves to the roots of their fear inside, instead of projecting it continuously outward, move beyond the chains of culture and conformity.

In one of my recent prayer ceremonies, I was shown the power of projection in this realm, and watched the earth shake off dense layers of ancestral and historical residue. There is energy and weight in everything we say, think, assume, intend, and assert about things. We are creators, creating and engaging with, not over other life forms. Even if we have “good” intentions, when we victimize or villainize another, we are creating power imbalances, attachments, or heavy entanglements. This often causes us suffering and can have a rebounding effect from any negativity we send.

Fear contracts. When we allow ourselves to be managed by fear, we are closing ourselves off from seeing beyond our parameters of perception. We all have limitations and perspectives, and we don’t like to think of truth lying beyond them. We have been encouraged to find comfort in the familiar, monotony, routine, institutions, authorities, gossip, and sets of organized belief. This has dulled our intuitive senses and called us to question our own eyes in the contrast of public opinion. The Age of Transparency is setting fire to old parameters and parasites. What is falling apart is not meant to stand; what transpires will call forth the agency and sovereignty of every person.

How you proceed matters mostly to you; you are solely responsible for your life and creations. You are not responsible for the actions of others in another time or space. Guilt and shame are currency in a system of enslavement. You are responsible, however, for the energy you give to the earth and others in all your projections. We are continuously being shown where energy has been manipulated and misspent. We have choice in every moment in our energy’s direction and investment. What will we choose next?

Most people that I know, are not choosing an extreme right or left, red or blue. Most are feeling pressured to hate, be angry, see doom, fear difference, feel bad, etc… Every moment begs, is this really the reality we want to maintain or co-create?

It is possible to withdraw our emotional investments in polarizing conflicts on both sides and choose the higher love that exists within all sides. We can see and accept truth, despite our feelings about the messengers or circumstances that bring it to the surface. Divisiveness creates traps in consciousness, keeping its prisoners emotionally feeding and bound to the prison. There is a bigger game being played on earth, and our expansion and liberation are well underway.

We are all flawed beings here growing through an evolutionary leap in consciousness foretold by many ancient cultures. If we are trying to name or blame a “savior” or “devil,” we are missing the larger opportunity for ourselves and our species at hand. Be grateful for the souls playing the biggest roles right now on all sides that lead to change. They are serving a paradigm shift without the safety net of watching from the sidelines. Take stock of what they bring out in you because that is YOUR responsibility. We will not enter a time of collective peace through a gate of righteous designer hate.

As the earth’s frequency and sovereignty continue to rise, many are choosing to birth new potential in the space beyond a dying duality. The ultimate truth is higher and where the two are one.

Commit to embodying unity, and you can see the necessity in what is unfolding. We are all being brought to triumph through our unconscious and repressed darkness. Clarity comes after processing intense, suppressed emotional stagnancy and reactivity. Feeling and processing old experiences are part of the transformation, but they do not have to be dependent on or directed at another. Healing and empowerment are inside jobs, where one’s strength can transmute old energy without pomp, pageantry, or outside validation.

I was guided recently to get back to a daily gratitude and grounding ritual. Acts of regular devotion help reinforce and imprint what we want to be or see in our world. Our commitments and habits become second nature, even in the face of their seeming opposition.

Humanity is growing in waves and phases, simultaneously in each member according to their own unique timing and process. As we approach a new cycle, we are encouraged to be honest about what we are planting in our garden of creation. Are we discriminating or discerning in what we sow, feed, and water? Are we actively cleaning out things that we pick up along the way that are not conducive to its integrity or success?

Internet platforms are good demonstrations of how consciousness works, because we get a return in likeness on what we choose and entertain most in our attention and time. Our personal life experiences and reactions are showing us our creational algorithm. Hateful thoughts, punitive ideations, negative opinions, and irrelevant narratives of others are often corrosive to our own tender seedlings.

We must be willing to address what is present inside us, making room for expansive experiences that are unhindered by the ghosts of our past. Our position of power lies exclusively in the present, even in healing or reframing old experiences.

Our progress naturally adds to the progress of all, without trying to convince or force anything on anyone. Many won’t be able to hear or understand information past their parameters of perception until they have experienced and overcome their own shadows, blocks, and struggles. If fear is present, most won’t get past their ingrained survival and defense mechanisms. No amount of yelling or shaming changes things for the better; if we want someone to listen and open to something new, we must create an atmosphere of safety and acceptance.

We are not going backwards. We are not doomed to fulfill a dystopian prophecy. We will often fear or feel these things when we are purging old feelings, suppressed traumas, or inherited ancestral patterns. Explore, own, feel, and process the pain. The wisdom and higher perception point follows that cycle and can prevent us from projecting it outward.

FREEDOM lies beyond the pattern of PERPETRATOR/VICTIM/SAVIOR. Humanity will begin to recognize its UNITY as tribal conflicts are healed and surrendered in ongoing phases. Why not be the reason someone sees and recognizes a spiritual kinship in you? BELIEF is a spiritual foundation, but BEING is its implementation moving forward.

A new karmic cycle is here and starting off with a bang. It isn’t wise to repeat what wasn’t working if we want to experience something new. Discern where duality is disrupting your peace and integrity and know that you can move beyond. Your energy is a precious and powerful resource, capable of creating and sustaining wonder in the world. Our love is being redirected to birth solutions yet unseen.

Everything is in transition, but we are designed to innovate in the face of the unknown. Know thyself, and you will know your destined path unfolding. Let yourself step into new roles or paths presenting themselves that speak to your soul, even if they confuse or dismay those around you. Freedom is a force that cannot be contained once unleashed in its purest form. 🦋
