Getting Unstuck

You've been walking a karmic path for, what seems like, forever. The same issues. The same ghosts. You probably understand them a helluva lot better at this point. You may have even gotten some very deep healing.

But the shadows of some karmic paths are so god damn persistent.

You know the ones. The ones you've journaled about. The ones you've sought professional help for.

The ones that seem to linger like a bad fart.

You can keep pushing yourself to...fix it! Get underneath it! Fucking, get RID of it!!!

Or, you can take a radical path.

It's radical because you let go of the reigns. You let go because the whole bloody reason you got to this point on the path was because you'd become duly exhausted fighting in your own little corner, all by yourself.

It's radical because it's the first time that you actually have to admit to yourself that you cannot slay your dragons as a solo entity. It's radical because for us control freaks - cue the human race - we finally get to the point where we can go no farther on our own.

To enter into a radical relationship with Wholeness, we first need to embrace the Intelligence that very obviously moves through all things. The Intelligence that moves each season into the next; the Intelligence that beats your heart, circulates your blood, births new cells and keeps your brain firing on all cylinders...all without your help or input.

You can call this Intelligence by any name. It has no preference. But it is there, nonetheless, waiting in eternally patient and loving ways, to be invited into your pain, into your shadows and to take what you cannot handle.

So how do we execute such surrender? Because the execution of something like surrender seems like an oxymoron. And that's because it is.

So we stop. We simply stop fighting what is. We also embrace the possibility that nothing is actually wrong. That the whole of your life and all of the players within it are walking a deeply purposeful path that cannot contain any missteps or mistakes.

But...but...I'm anxious all the time! I'm sick! My kid is struggling! I lost my job...my way...my marriage...my reputation!!!!

Okay...but who said that any of those things meant that something had gone wrong? What if those challenges and sacrifices and grievances were woven into the path by Intelligence (of which you are that at your very core) in order to bring you closer and closer to Intelligence itself?

At the core of every challenge is a Spiritual Emergence; an invitation to reclaim your Original Divinity. In fact, every single wall we bump up against whispers, Come In...Come Home...It's time to turn your attention back to Me.

So how do we that? How do we stop stealing away into our own corner of the world where we almost constantly feel like something isn't quite right?

We meditate. We pray. We go out into the forest and give the trees, the sky, the earth the shit that we can no longer handle. We ask for guidance, we ask for Love, we ask for awareness.

What is trying to get my attention? What are my next best steps? What am not yet aware of?

If you're quiet enough, you will receive the guidance. Through this guidance we often find out that....

Anxiety is the fear of being separate from Source.

Illness is the fear of being separate from Source.

The kid that won't cooperate is feeling the fear of being separate from Source.

There is only ONE chink in the armour. There was only ever ONE.

Come IN. Come HOME. Your challenges are the very things pointing the nose of the ship back to God.
