“Don’t seek outside of yourself. Don’t be so eager to be spiritual that you leave your humanity behind. They are the same. Evolution does not mean giving up human experiences in favor of spiritual experiences, but merely shifting your perception to recognize that the human experience is spiritual.” Source lost.
“Because although it is a fact that He can not be found by seeking, only those who seek can find Him.” The Forty Rules of Love, Elif Shafak
I just re-found the first quote above which speaks very clearly to my experience of the last few years, reclaiming and grounding into being human rather than trying to bypass all the challenges and be a disembodied spirit while on earth.
As a strategy, it was rather brilliant until I developed enough inner capacity, space, holding to stay present to all the shadow material moving through, all the false beliefs, conditioning, trauma. At the time I had it that to be highly sensitive on this planet during a time of huge transition was something like mission impossible. I truly feared at some point I might implode or explode trying to create enough inner spaciousness for all the e-goo that needed to pass through.
My friend Matt Pepper recently sent me this from his human design profile. “The Innocent knows that the world can be healed through love and trust, but easily overestimates how capable the collective currently is of loving and trusting. The challenge for this archetype is understanding why other people do the things they do. When he witnesses something he perceives as not loving, he can feel confused.” Oh yes, that totally resonates for me. How to be sensitive, not numb out and still play lovingly and joyfully here and now?…
