you are doing everything exactly as you need to be.
there will be a time when you look back on this season of transition, for you, for others on the brave path of self-discovery, for the whole world of humankind who, whether they realize it or not, are at a crossroads.
the old ways of being, rooted in egoic thinking and controlled by outer forces of division, fear, and hate, have served their time. the new time of the rising phoenix is upon us.
each soul is being tested to uncover the layers that hide its true, authentic self, one rooted in unconditional love and connection to the cosmos.
this awakening, this rebirth, cannot and will not be rushed. just as a baby needs time to be birthed, so too does each human soul alive today, and the earth’s vibration itself, need time to gestate and emerge anew. all are undergoing an undeniable and unstoppable shift in consciousness, in both human and earthly evolution.
so fear not the pace, nor the valleys of darkness. for there, in those deep places, lie your greatest treasures, if you can be brave enough to withstand the pressure of those wounds, the pain, the sorrow, the longing. take time to breathe, to be, to return to center, to return to a place of wonder and gratitude for being alive. it is a heart-centered place, free from the constraints of the mind.
and it is from this place that you learn to emerge from your cocoon, to take your delicate new wings, and stretch them in the new dawning light. for some, it will still be in the darkness of night that they emerge, like the luna moth, to take their first flight. for many others, they will remain, gestating in their own womb of healing. not all are ready for flight, and many came only to feel the brush of others’ wings beating against their own cocoons, while their souls still lie in slumber. there is a divine timing to all cycles, and each soul has its own cycle to complete.
the desire to compare and compete is one of this planet’s illusions. it keeps people small, always looking outward and doubting the brilliance within. but this is changing, and the time is upon all humans to awaken and remember their divine origins and divine blueprint. for within every sleeping caterpillar is the innate blueprint of the butterfly or luna moth.
the reason this metaphor is used so often is because it is a beautiful natural example of what each human soul came here to do. nothing is stagnant. everything is in perpetual expansion. even the most solid and seemingly lifeless objects and structures on this planet are, in truth, nothing but moving particles.
so much illusion is yet to be wiped from the tired eyes of humanity. but those of you reading this are already well on your way to awakening. it is painful, it is arduous, but you signed up to be here in this time of great unfolding and awakening. for what happens on earth, and in each human soul, ripples through the entire cosmos.
have courage for the transformations still unfolding in your own human heart, and for the planet herself. the chaos without mirrors the chaos within, and great courage is required to remain here. many choose to leave because it is too painful, yet that too is a choice, and it is never ours to judge. instead, may it deepen our compassion for the immense weight every soul carries in this time of awakening.
always remember that beauty exists alongside the pain. it has always been so. your task is to seek the gold shining through the cracks, to sift through the wreckage, to unearth the treasure waiting beneath. this is how the sleeping caterpillar transforms and learns to take flight.
love,
the universe
