As we stand on the precipice of shift, it can be hard to
remain sure-footed and confident when the winds of change are gaining strength
and the healing rain is lashing down bringing all manner of thoughts, feelings,
memories and pain to the surface. The precipice can feel like a lonely place,
and as we stand waiting for the sunshine to break through, it can be hard to
maintain the faith to keep on keeping on. Sometimes, the darkness gets too much
and we have to step back from the edge in order to find shelter; sometimes, we
just have to walk away. Yet, for most of us, here we still find ourselves:
soaked through, cold, exhausted but still standing, poised and ready to step
forward when the time comes.
Who knows what lies beyond the mists beneath our feet, but
instinctively we know that we have to have faith and step into uncharted
territory in life for that is the only way to evolve, learn and grow.
Spiritually and energetically, we know that in order to step closer to our
dreams and to our souls, we have to step away from the comfort blankets we have
created in life that have softened the longing for something more.
As we shiver in the rain, we may wonder what on earth we are
doing; we may feel like we are standing on the outside looking through the
window into life where everyone else is cosy and warm by the fire. Our
perception can make us feel like we are the only one struggling, going through
shift, exploring the soul. Yet, we are not alone, for the precipice is a place
where so many find themselves now; standing between where they once were and
where they want to be. The precipice is a kind of no-man’s land, and whilst we
can feel isolated, when we look up through the wind and rain, we can see
hundreds of other faces standing there beside us.
Seeing so many others standing in a similar place warms the
soul, for it helps to know that we do not walk alone. Whilst our journey to
Self is unique to us as individuals, collectively we are re-awakening and
moving toward a new dawn where we step beyond the precipice and find ourselves
standing in new, exciting and fertile uncharted terrain. The reward for faith
and belief, self-knowing and trust is the promised land. Perhaps the biggest
reward of all is the realisation that the promised land is not some distant
pasture, but it is within us, around us; it is us.
When we feel battle weary and tired, we can struggle to stay
aligned with Spirit and we feel out of tune with the orchestra of life. Whilst
we all participate in the orchestra, over time the orchestra has lost its edge,
for the magic has ebbed away. Each participant has grown tired simply keeping
on keeping on, and bad tuning and duff notes have started to dominate.
And yet, once we connect to the promised land and to the
sunlight within, the energy and exuberance returns bringing the orchestra back
to life! In essence, this is a time to stop fighting, to start trusting and to
reconnect to the light within to guide us through these stormy, yet important
times. The more of us that do this, the more the orchestra will regain its
strength and form, and will begin to play a sweet and wonderful tune that
awakens all the sleepwalkers and brings about lasting Universal change. We may
be individuals, but we are all part of the bigger jigsaw puzzle of life and
every action we take and thought we have shapes the Whole.
It is when we feel that connection to the Whole, that we
feel our own Divinity and our magnificence rising up with passion and power;
for we begin to realise that we are our own Creators. We then start to realise
that all those dreams of a better life can become reality, for once we let go
of the fear we change the dynamic, stop chasing and start creating instead. We
remember the mirror effect, and that everything around us is within us; every
thought we have shapes our lives, and once we realise the enormity of this, we
can begin to change the energy to transform our lives.
We need to let go of fear now, and to realise that the winds
and rain of change are a necessary step on the path to Self. The journey to Self
begins and ends within, and whilst we may feel exhausted from the journey, we
should never lose sight of the destination, for the light will guide us and
show us the way. The more we can love and honour ourselves, and the more we can
trust the process, the quicker we will move beyond the precipice and find
ourselves bathing in the beautiful light of a brand new day...
