Coming Home To The Divine Within

There are so many 'Spiritual Communities' that are dismantling at this time. I've been witnessing this in accelerated action for that past few years and I trust it's not going to slow down. Although this is not a new phenomenon, it is still a heartbreaking and disorienting experience for all those involved.

Every human is built with a need to expand, to be a little bit better than what they are now. This is basically the evolution of all forms. We are wired to be in connection, to be in relationship to the world and each other for the process to organically unfold. Only in relationship can we bring to light what has been hidden in the unconscious, all the aspects we reject in a negative or positive sense.

Those that feel a soul-calling to learn from a teacher/guru to gain some insight into their life experience or closer union to God (source consciousness), then discovering they are not who they said they were, nor do they embody the teachings they deliver, can become devasted, putting up more barriers around the heart than what they originally arrived with. This shuts down a person as they spiral into questioning the whole experience, examing what was real and what was false. Some thoughts that are examined can look like:

"How can I be so gullible?"

"How could I have not seen this?"

"How could I have given my power away?"

"Is there any truth in these teachings?"

These situations can put someone in an existential crisis or a dark night of the soul.

Typically, I've found the richest experiences are not from a person claiming such status, or from "leveling up," but can be found by those that use no title and reject such hierarchy. This doesn't mean avoiding teachers and gurus. Again, there are times we need a mirror or assistance to push our edges. It's a gentle reminder that ultimately what we are searching for has been here all along. This is why I was called to hold space for the Divine Within. Part of my journey in awakening was fully realizing there is no greater power than the Divine Within me. It's my joy to hold space for this piece that wants to emerge in all of us. I learned there is no place we are ascending to but to become "online" as a fully incarnated human being. To explore the higher dimensions we must be fully grounded, if not we will continue to dissociate, separate, get lost in all the stories, venturing down every winding path that says, "This is the way!"
