The Big Time

So.

Big blessed, otherworldly New Moon, am I right?

Double Sun/Moon Aquarius action happening. 
Mars entry into Aries, thank the Gods.


Juicy stuff, tell you what.

The veils are down. What we knew as reality is shattered.
This is the Big Time, folks.
The curtain is up.
The spot lights are on.
The house is packed.
No turning back.

The Lunar New Year is upon us. Year of the Yin Fire Rooster. 
Can we say abundance? 
Providence? Can we say an energetically supercharged new Beginning?
Yes. Yes, we can.

To many of us, things may not feel so blessed or abundant. However… well, we're just getting started.

I know, things are tough all over, but if keeping hope alive were easy all the time we wouldn't call it “hope”.
If taking a leap of faith wasn't scary, we wouldn't call it a “leap”.

Does it look like Duality is increasing? 
Like the darkness is darker than ever before, and the light is brighter than ever potentially conceived as possible? 
Well, that's because they are. It is.

The I Ching tells us that for something to expand, it must first contract. For something to ascend, it must first fall.

We are living (reliving) The Fall, and the laws of Nature dictate what comes next. The extreme polarities of existence become ever-more intense until their division reaches a critical mass. Then what? … reversal. ReUnion.
Then we come home.

Look, I for one, have never fit in.
Anywhere. 
I was too white for the brown crew, and too brown for the white crew.
I was too masculine for the girl's club, and too feminine for the boy's club. Too cis for the trans crowd, too fluid for the cis crowd.
Too artsy for the thinkers, too heady for the dreamers.
Too straight for homo, too gay for hetero.
Too spiritual in math class, and too geeky in yoga class… 
Even my parents used to tell me as a child, that out of all their children, they had no idea where I came from.
Must have been a UFO, they said.

I just don't blend in.
Everywhere I go, I stick out like a sore thumb. 
I challenge stereotypes, and break dualistic definitions simply through existing, as I am.

In the past now moments, I had always taken this reality as a detriment. A fault of character.
I was always searching for somewhere that I could fit in. For someone to give me permission to be me.
I was in constant, painfully contorted attempt to forcibly make myself into someone who could blend.
Looking for a place to stand wherein I could feel myself to be a safe and “average” member of a group.

Now, I have owned up to the fact that I do not need to fit in. Nor do I need anyone's permission to unabashedly be me. Now, I have given myself the acceptance which I sought outside my own soul for so long.
Now, I have come home to myself, and my innate inner light.

You know what that has given me?
Union. 
I am now acutely aware of the actual factual reality of my own oneness with the Cosmic Continuum. 
I feel the definition between that which is “me” and that which is “not me” dissolving more and more by the day.
“Me” is now becoming “We”, or perhaps just “Is”.

You see?
A lifetime (or many, many lifetimes) of feeling isolated and alone, prepared me to go through the process which I am engaged in now, which is unification.
A lifetime (or many, many lifetimes) of abuse, pain, and suffering prepared me to live this now moment of profound peace.
I experienced Duality, pain, and never fitting in, so as to make space for the blissful recognition that I am all, and everything.

Where there is deep darkness, there is also brilliant light.
Where there is suffering, there is blissful release. 
Where there is a Fall, there is a Rising.

This is not a matter of possible, or probable.
This is factual. 
This is the Law of Nature at work.

This doesn't mean that the path is to throw your hands up and blindly accept that no actions or reactions will be necessary in what lies ahead. 
This means that however you feel called to participate in this great dismantling and ascension process which our planet is in the midst of, you get to do so with unwavering faith.

The gateways are open.
The way is lit.
The path is set.

Just take it one step and a time, implicitly trust your own gut, and know that no matter what, you'll be fine.

Breathe, Beloveds. 
Know that you are not alone, and that all is well.

Forces more powerful than we can hope to comprehend are orchestrating this whole magnificent affair. 
We all have our parts to play.

This is it.
We're doing it.
We got this. 
Together.

I see you. 
I feel you. 
I believe in you.

I love you. 
Always, and in all ways.
