On the ego bunker and permanent peace:
A message of hope for all those who, as my friend put it, have a “hurricane in their head.” This is all in service to Remembering Who we are, which can now occur faster than ever
32 years ago today I met my now wasband in Barra de Navidad Mexico. A shooting star across the entire horizon marked the significance of that event and changed the trajectory of this life. I had been living a very “normal” life but that changed immediately and within two months I had quit my vested job and begun preparations to travel around the world. Turns out the inner world was the one I would travel furthest in.
Nine years ago yesterday in the Denver airport another paradigm shift announced itself and I was dropped from one minute to the next into the bowels of the ego thought system. A very unfun ride ensued as four key misperceptions were surfaced: love being an external entity, anxiety, financial scarcity and overwhelm. It is not easy to keep the faith when we are in the midst of such unraveling, to not begin to doubt our sanity and our very worth as the intensity and excavation may last a very long time. Yet it is merely a sign we are ready to release. These days the intensity is here, ready or not. We can kick and scream or choose to believe it is all here to serve us and wake us up. To stay the course in Trust, to keep open and receiving, to dive in again and again, not easy.
I am here to say it is worth it. After a deep dive last month into overwhelm, the greatest challenge I have had in years and, interestingly, again involving the Denver airport, wow., I have again entered a profound peace and self acceptance.
The key is to Remember our pure innocence and say goodbye to all guilt and shame.
Yes, it often seems just too intense, too long, too hard. Yet this is what I know. There is a way out for those who have the courage to enter the place where the treasure was buried in forgetting. The treasure is our own heart and Essence, buried in triggers, false beliefs, conditioning. Those with the willingness to go wherever the energy directs, enter into it willingly, blindly, will arrive at a lasting peace. This I know for sure. And as a glorious confirmation, another shooting star crossed the horizon to announce arrival after a very long journey.
Two days ago I had tears in my eyes as I felt a new trajectory announce itself, one in which the energy would be one of creation rather than release, imagining the life that will unfold as these last limitations drop away. Ah, such joy.
I write these little missives in the great desire that someone will read it and take heart, Trust their willingness will ultimately drop them back Home.
