Spiritual reading — our hidden reality

May 1

High up in the mountains, where alpine meadows disappear into rock face there are places where that rock, which underlies everything, is disguised by a thin layer of soil upon which tiny heather and other high altitude flowers bravely persevere.

So it is with humans, except that it is actually as you descend that you come to the spot in your own being where the foundational “truths” of who you think you are are just barely covered over.

At this point in your  life, you may find that those tiny plants are being uprooted and the soil swept away by the wind. You may find yourself face-to-face with some hard, gray facts that you have wanted and yes, needed, to gloss over for much of your lifetime.

This rock may feel solid and seemingly immutable, or bald and vulnerable. Something you cannot change and yet cannot bear to look at. Something you have wanted to cover up at all costs.

And yet, paradoxically, it is the very foundation upon which you have stood. The ground beneath your feet.

As you may be starting to guess, when you reach this place, you have landed in what can be a seriously transformational time. Whenever that which has lived in darkness is brought up into the light, it changes. This is always the case, as your own experience has taught you. If you allow yourself to see the naked and vulnerable within yourself, if you bring consciousness to that which has directed your life from a place of obscurity, then something will change. We guarantee it.

We want to take a moment to remind you—because you do know this—that you are perfect. That you are wise and beautiful and full of light and love. There is nothing you are doing that is wrong. You have no reason to feel ashamed or guilty or inadequate. These are absurdities manufactured from the illusion of your plane of existence. You are perfect, just as you are.

*** Not just flattery

It is indeed when we incarnate here that our principles are sorely tested. But we volunteered to come here. Our home is in a perfect and beautiful place, but only because God runs it. 😉

Can we go forth and live nobly in a rougher place?

***
Try to keep this in mind today and all days. The tendency may exist to fall into very old patterns of self-flagellation and cruelty. There is a certain comfort to any old pattern, no matter how brutal it may be. Resist.

Your task, should you be fortunate enough to uncover a false thought-form upon which you have based much of your life, is to bring it into the light. Most of you will instinctively want to cover it over again just as quickly as you able. As always, this is your choice, but remember that eventually these lies must be exposed.

It is also possible that you will choose not to descend so deeply at this time. If not, it is still likely that you will experience some periods of profound unease. These feelings arise from awareness — just below consciousness —  of this same stuff. The energies are very strongly lined up for radical healing. And that means that whatever is in need of healing will be brought to your attention. Even if you cannot be fully present to this process for any of the many possible reasons, it is probable that you will have some experiences related to it.

No matter what you find yourself grappling with today—explicit or inchoate—try to remember that all you are asked to do is to bring to it more light. You don’t need to understand or solve anything. You simply need to return your awareness again and again to the places that call for it.

This might be quite difficult (or it might not), but you don’t need to do anything more. There are vast forces of light supporting you in this; as is always the case, you are not alone.

And as you bring consciousness to the very places you would like most to hide, remember that you are perfect. Don’t let old stories tie you up and keep you captive any longer. That is not your destiny.

We love you deeply, and we hope for you great healing and freedom in this time. All our blessings.
