Happy Halloween! As the fires burn today all around the world commemorating Samhein, or Summer's End, we welcome the warmth and heat on this chilly Autumn day. We are reminded of the Fire that burns within each of us representing our Divine Spark, our passion, our eternal Light. And as the bonfires burn down and we contemplate the messages within the embers, we know that we are entering the dark time of year, ruled by the Divine Feminine, the Goddess, the Crone. This time of year always makes many of us feel introspective, more in touch with our roots, our ancestors, all those who have come before and will come after we leave this physical incarnation. This life is but a blink of an eye on the eternal spiral of creation, in the journey of our eternal Soul. The veils are thin today and tomorrow, allowing for increased psychic abilities, clear divination, intuition, and communion with those spiritual beings on the "other side". It is a time for honoring our spiritual team, our ancestors. It is a special time for delving into our shadow, which is necessary to remind us of our eternal Light.
There are many traditions that exist today that still honor the ancient ways, as well as new traditions that honor the fun and revelry of this special time of year. Whatever it is that we do and hold dear, let it be done with the spirit of connection and unity--with each other, with the realm of spirit, and with Mother Earth. Let this be a joyous time filled with wonder, reverence and deep communion with all life, both here on Earth as well as throughout the Cosmos. Let us realize our integral part in the unfolding of the Divine symphony upon our Earth, as well as our all-important role in the creation of worlds without end throughout the Universe.
And as the embers of tonight's fires die down, take a moment to contemplate the year that is passing away, as we turn the chapter toward the new year that is in store. The time of "dreamtime" is upon us, as we turn inward, assess our triumphs and tribulations, and begin to create new things for the coming year during the darker time that lies ahead. Like the Phoenix, we will all rise from the ashes reborn and ready to more fully step onto our Divine path.
Many of us are still searching for our Divine mission, while some of us believe we have found it and are endeavoring to make it manifest. For those still searching or unsure how to begin, trust in synchronicity. Trust in our feelings. If we have a burning desire to do something altruistic that is in service to humanity, but aren't certain of how to begin or what that creation will look like, that is okay! It's that urge, that knowing-ness, that passion inside that tells us, "Yes! I'm part of this paradigm shift and I am meant to do something very important!" That overwhelming urge is what is important, even if we don't know exactly how to begin. Focus on the feeling of what it is we want to create, and focus on it with pure, unwavering intent. Do not allow thoughts of unworthiness, doubt or other negative vibrations to keep us from our desire to serve at the highest level appropriate for us individually! Just focus and then wait for synchronicity to reveal the next step. And yes, often it is taking some action, any small thing, that gets the ball rolling and puts us right where we need to be for the next step to become evident! Yes, there may be setbacks or course adjustments along the way. But that burning desire within assures us that our path will become clear when the time and circumstances are right for us to proceed.
What if we don't know exactly what we wish to create? What if we are pulled in many directions that all make our heart sing? That is perfect too! Allow exploration and time to try different things that speak to us deeply, that stoke our passion. We don't have to do everything, but we are impelled to do something... Often those things we excel at are clues as to what we planned for ourselves before we incarnated into this life. We each have a very important role to play in the creation of this New Earth. Whatever draws us is a guide. Whatever we do, do it well. Perhaps we are healers, teachers, public speakers, environmental activists. Perhaps we are enlightened business leaders, inventors, even politicians who see another way, a new way, a better way. Or maybe we are meant to merely hold our Light so that others can feel loved, so that others can see in the dark. Every role is equally important. We old souls have lived many hundreds of lives here on our Gaia, and have played many different roles, so we have a great repertoire to draw from. That is our Akashic Record, and it is the sum total of experiences and skills we have amassed from all our Earth experience. This doesn't even take into account our Galactic and Universal Akash that is now coming clear for many of us, where before this was hidden from us due to magnetics and many other things. The times they are a-changing my dear Soul Family, and we are in uncharted waters. What we create is entirely up to each of us individually as well as collectively.
So as the old year comes to a close and the new year rises from the bonfire ashes, let us remember to follow our hearts, follow our joy... that is the way to riches, abundance and beauty untold. So tonight, let's all contemplate our part in the greater unfoldment of this Divine symphony that is our ascending Earth, and endeavor to do what we came here to do. Be bold, be brave Dear Ones! We are all part of what rises from the ashes of the old. Together, we will make it beautiful and worth it!
Much Love, Light and Blessings for this Blessed Day!
