Just in case it might have slipped your mind…
You are an absolutely unique, beautiful, ever-evolving, radiant being of light, resplendent as the noon-day sun, breathtaking and magical. Thank you for being here.

By turning and facing our own darkness, we are transformed.

The path of awakening is different for everyone. It is a journey of mystery and wonder, of lessons and learning, all of which lead to shifts in consciousness. It’s important to remember that no matter how far you have come, you have barely scratched the surface of all that waits to be discovered.

Your courage inspires those who grace your world. Continue to approach each day as a sacred gift and be willing to receive the light, love and laughter of the universe. The pain you transcend plays a specific role in your development; therefore, see those who challenge you as healing angels rather than obstacles you may encounter along the way.

In your vulnerability, you will discover strength. You stand at the threshold of a new life… one that has much to offer.

Every person you meet is a master in the process of awakening.

Our purpose is to awaken. Unconsciousness is nothing more than temporarily being lost within the illusion of separation and buying into the “us vs. them” mentality that masks our shared humanity. As we learn to take responsibility for our own joy and heal the wounds that block us from giving and receiving love, we naturally cultivate greater patience and compassion for those who remain trapped in the illusion.

Throughout our many lifetimes we experience all that life has to offer – every type of nationality, sexuality, religion, societal position, etc. The soul is looking to actively participate in these varied circumstances in order to learn, to grow and evolve. The end goal is shared joy in the journey and support of one another as we awaken and return to love.

Old souls have typically participated in more types of experiences and therefore have greater ability to access compassion. Even without conscious or vivid past life recall, on a higher level we can access wisdom from the Akashic records that will activate awareness of our shared journey. Think of the greatest challenge you have overcome in this life. Do you not have compassion for others who face that same situation? Now expand that concept outward, imagining the bigger picture of what you have likely faced throughout the course of your many lifetimes. Does that alter any residual judgment that you may experience into understanding?

When love informs your world view, you step into a world of infinite possibility.

The higher your level of consciousness, the more expanded your vision. Consider the limitations of hatred or fear. Both states of being create filters which distort one’s interpretations and create a self-made prison. Only love can dissolve the bars that enslave so many.

Our role is to demonstrate a different way of being. Those who wish to create change must guard against becoming the very thing they are seeking to transform. Consciousness calls upon us to be mindful, to communicate with kindness and to project our vision of a new earth. The moment is Now and what you do today matters.

The idea of global transformation may seem daunting; however, your life creates ripples that spark change all the time. Even though you may not bear witness to the end results of your loving actions, never doubt that your light has the potential to plant seeds of awakening in all those who are touched by your life.

Attachment creates suffering in our experience; therefore, detachment creates peace in our experience. Worlds away from apathy, detachment is genuinely being at peace with whatever unfolds without layering the situation with expectations, must-haves or the perception that something is or was wrong.

When you experience the present moment with an open heart, it allows you to see see more clearly. A quiet mind is the beginning of freedom. Rather than living a repetitive pattern, we learn to break free and just be.

No matter how it appears, everything in your life situation is pointing you to this truth. Practice with daily application: When you send a text, release all expectation about when you will get a response. When you let someone know what is important to you, release the need to be immediately understood or heard (sometimes others process information more slowly). Notice the small ways that attachment creates disharmony and choose to utilize that moment of awareness to do things differently.

The smallest breakthroughs in habitual behavior create dramatic changes. Infinite gifts await your discovery.

On the global stage, there are those whose soul purpose is to create disruption. Energetically, they behave in a way that antagonizes and ignites chaos in order to bring repressed dysfunction to the surface. In the Tarot, this movement of energy is represented by the Tower and is presented through the symbology of the goddess Kali.

Kali is the goddess of destruction and cataclysmic change. Structures and ideas that are weak or outgrown are shattered by events that seem to spiral out of control; however, everything works to our collective highest good. Once the intensity ends, we can assess the damage, clear away the rubble and see what survived the physical, emotional and psychic earthquake. What remains is our new foundation. Upon this we can rebuild, learn, change and evolve.

The Tower is never easy to live through but it a vital aspect of our experience. When we refuse to change, the Universe will often set change in motion for us. Even those who experience resistance will eventually emerge out the other side.

We must allow old forms to shatter in order to be transformed. Let awareness open you to receive the gifts of awakening. Tend to yourself, help one another and walk forward with the knowledge that these moments of change and uncertainty are powerful transitions that we have all agreed to experience together.

Many have forgotten their divinity. They lived tossed about by life and become deeply entangled within the illusions of the physical plane. As consciousness expands, perception broadens. What was once one-dimensional and stark becomes beautiful, nuanced and layered with gifts waiting to be discovered.

We can honor each path as sacred and still see it clearly. Old souls have a responsibility to teach others in some way. Often, our lives becomes the message. The awakened soul can demonstrate love, empowerment, forgiveness and compassion through their words and actions. Imagine yourself as a beacon of peacefulness and joy that shines in the darkness.

May the actions you take be guided by your inner truth. May your words be uplifting. May your dance be an authentic expression of the Divine. May your presence be a gift to those who grace your life.

Everything in your experience offers an opportunity to awaken.

Everyone’s journey is unique and ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own experience. As our awareness expands we can reevaluate old perceptions with a new interpretation. Awakening is often presented as a spiral of energy – we revisit the same issues from various levels of consciousness. Each insight layers upon the old perfectly, often transforming our perceptions and breaking us free from outmoded beliefs and patterns.

We can learn through the sharing of experience, compassionate listening or by holding space for another. Collective awakening calls upon us to lift one another up in love, and that expression, too, is unique from person to person. Follow the promptings of your soul. Live authentically. Your light can be transformative in countless ways.
