One of the secrets of alchemy is that what is “out there” in the physical world can’t be separated from what’s inside our head. To put it another way, the physical, material world, is a manifestation of our psyche: they are different manifestations of one and the same thing. So, if we want to be reunited with Creation, if we want to achieve what many call Unity Consciousness, then the physical world and our psyche must somehow unify and this unification can only occur within our own psyche.
Evidence of Oneness.
The process of unifying our inner and outer “worlds” begins when we start to perceive that there is actually a link between them. The evidence of this starts to come to us in the form of coincidences, synchronicities, signs, and various other messages or indications that we perceive and experience, that demonstrate to us that the Universe is responding to, and/or communicating with us, personally. This evidence increases and becomes ever more personal, the more we look for it.
This article is to introduce my new Category, ” Journal of Awakening” which will have as its focus, How to Recognize and Follow Spirit’s Guidance (actually, I tend to think of Spirit as being The Great Mother, or, The Goddess, so I’ll probably use these terms interchangeably.) I’ll be using my own personal experiences for illustration purposes, but, of course, you will have your own personal experiences and adventures with The Goddess which will be tailored to you and your needs and requirements.
Our Great Mother is always trying to guide us, but we don’t realize this because we’re not usually paying Her any attention. We are usually too busy paying attention to another guide: our ego, that dazzlingly deluded creation of our thinking mind that thinks it’s an expert on everything! (Well, mine thinks it’s an expert on everything, I don’t know about yours.)
Learning to Recognize and Follow Spirit’s Guidance is a Practice and a Discipline.
Learning how to recognize and follow Spirit’s guidance is a practice, a discipline, and it marks a new stage of accelerated growth and awakening for us. It’s also a practice which, ultimately, frees us from being dependent on any other person for guidance - persons such as myself. Unfortunately, we often only turn to Spirit for leadership and guidance when we realize how incapable our ego-mind is in protecting us and leading us towards wholeness and joy. As I discussed in my article, “Initiation: Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection,” we sometimes need to reach a very low point in our life before we’ll admit to ourselves that we need a higher, wiser, form of guidance than our own thinking, rational mind has been providing us with.
If you have reached this point you will know it, because you will know that you need help. This marks the beginning of wisdom for us: we are finally ready to admit that we can’t go it alone! Now, we start to look for our Divine Mother to lead us towards wholeness, safety and joy.
Throwing off the Control of the Ego.
At some stage in our journey to enlightenment, before we can receive enlightenment* we usually need to undergo a major initiation in which our lower-self personality, passes from being under the control of our ego (the mind-made identity we believe ourselves to be ) and willingly comes under the guidance and leadership of Spirit. This initiation is composed of a series of difficult and painful events which are best described by using the metaphor of Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection. It is, quite simply, a test of our spiritual Mastery, and it only presents itself when we are ready.
When we have emerged from this cycle of events our lower-self personality has been purified of the lower instincts, impulses, desires and emotions, which until this point in our life, have ruled and driven our actions and behaviour. Once we are free of the misleading influence of our mind-created ego, we are transformed, re-born, as it were, into a freer, more conscious, joyful, creative and powerful version of our former self. We understand our part in the Divine Plan and are in full possession of the skills, abilities and strengths we need to carry it out successfully.
So, the series of events that make up our personal Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection, are challenges, trials and tests which provide our personality with perfect opportunities to become free of our baser, lower aspects and weaknesses. At the same time, these events also enable us to conquer and master our insistence on asserting our individual will. Instead of following our own personal will, we learn the wisdom of choosing to submit consciously to the Higher, Divine Will and so allowing ourselves to come under the leadership and guidance of Spirit, rather than the dominance and control of the ego.
Freeing Ourselves From The Underdog Position.
Ascension energies continue to provoke power struggles in our relationships as many of us are waking up to the fact that we have been dominated, controlled or manipulated, often in quite subtle ways, by people who don’t always have our best interests at heart. These waves of Ascension energy produce within us a powerful desire to experience equality, justice and freedom in all areas of our life. Basically, on a soul level, we are yearning to experience democracy in all aspects of life and in all our relationships, from the personal to the professional, to the national and the international. What this means, is that we are becoming unwilling and unable to tolerate an unequal balance of power in our relationships. In particular, we no longer want to be the ”underdog.”
Some of us are just now waking up to the fact that we have been been controlled or manipulated, we are seeing imbalances and inequities that previously we have been oblivious to, or perhaps that we just accepted as being “the way things are.” Whatever the case, many of us are now struggling to free ourselves from the “underdog” position. This isn’t easy, because once one of the participants in an unequal relationship refuses to continue to submit passively to another’s control, a power struggle ensues, and this can be very painful, even traumatic.
These power struggles are very necessary, however, they are reflecting the challenge of the old Masculine, or Patriarchal, version of power, by the new Sacred Feminine, or ”Goddess ” version of power. The old version of power is based on subjugation, supremacy, domination and control, while the new version is completely democratic in nature. Put simply, the old power heirarchy is in the process of being ousted by our growing insistence that all relationships operate fairly, with both, or all participants in the relationship, sharing equal power and status.
What is making underdogs even more determined to break free from those who seek to control, limit and dominate them, is the Sacred Feminine energy’s insistence on personal autonomy and individual freedom. So, if you have been, or are now, involved in an unpleasant power struggle with someone, or more than one person, know that it is your soul that is urging you to free yourself from any kind of domination, control, and/or restriction. For, as we free ourselves from all forms of unjust control and oppression, we are playing our part in creating a better, fairer future for the world, not just ourselves.
