Since the craziness really went up a notch in the part of the world I live in (crazy central of crazy central re: covid) I've met and become connected to more friends (who are all awake) than I've had for many years. The common experience of all of us who are awake is bouts of internal challenges where are emotions and our thinking is being pulled all over the place. Everyone I know who is awake is experiencing this in some form or other. Some have more external challenges than others, but internally, this is common.
This is the Great Awakening, and the inner challenges we are going through are paving the way for those who are now beginning to follow after us. It's like hacking through a mental/emotional/spiritual jungle with a machete. It's hard, arduous, but in a real sense, we are clearing the way for those who come behind. We've been tasked to do this by (Providence / God / the Universe / whatever your understanding) because for some reason, we're better able to do this. Many others simply could not cope with this, and would crash and burn. Later, they'll be able to make it through because we have helped to clear the way.
So, please do not be discouraged by the challenges, the ups and downs. Downs have to come with ups. Think of water. Inject a lot of energy and it makes waves. Have you ever been on the deep seas where the waves are 10+ meters high and the troughs are 10+ meters low? I have. It's quite fearful.
But this is where we are. The ups and downs are the natural result of the emotional and spiritual energy flowing through us now. Let them be what they are, and build your capacity to accept and digest upheaval, while having faith in the future and looking ahead. This process is making you stronger and stronger, and future generations will be proud of who you are.
And remember: you are not alone. We're in this together. wwg1wga.
Thank you for this post. I've tried to express this same sentiment to others. In the beginning, I was weak and sensitive to what people thought and I still wanted approval of sorts. Now? Yeah, I don't give a fuck what any of these people or anyone else thinks about me! I know what I believe in and what I stand for. I am a rock. I'd rather die free than be enslaved. I have conviction and courage to the core. I am redeemed. God chose me along with the rest of y'all and I know it. So, yeah, I agree 100% with your assessment.
That was beautiful π
Just what I needed today, thank you.
Thanks fren and I agree! In 1 year i went from living in multiple countries / states to moving to a red state, buying a house, started a garden, just started raising quail.etc. Doing those things is far more rewarding then the frivolous crap i used to fill my time with (mostly gaming). It does feel like im slow at change, 2 steps forward, 1 step back, plateau for a bit, but I will continue on. Old habits / addictions as long as mine were so ingrained to my lifestyle, daily life, its been a lot to change. 1 day at a time.
Best of luck on your journey.
thanks fren. more motivation. im transplanting my blueberry, sweet potatoes and building up a shed today :P
Nicely written!
