The journey of awakening is not linear. Time is an illusion of linear progression. Our healing is not linear, it’s a REAL return to our spiritual identity. We’re waking up to our Christ Self, our Ascended Master Self. it’s not a linear journey and time has nothing to do with it. Our willingness to choose it is everything.
As I’m writing this series on Waking UP! I hope you’re beginning to see yourself in these steps that I’ve experienced. For myself, I notice that the steps do appear to repeat themselves as we’re spiraling up.
Often in the upward spiral of healing we actually seem to be going down. When that happens it means that we’re going back to clear out more of the beliefs and attachments in that part of our awareness. It’s a good thing, but it doesn’t always feel that way. In fact, it usually feels like something less than good is happening.
If we judge it, and ourselves, we can easily view it through the lens of our self-judgment and think that we’re doing something wrong and that we’ve failed when IN FACT we’re succeeding. The ego’s tricks are endless! Don’t buy the BS (belief system) of the ego that always says you’re not enough!
I find it helps to look at it like a spiral graph.
It seems that on the first approach to clearing out we do some real intense work and that gives us the momentum to feel like we’re making progress and moving UP into a higher vibration, a higher realm of light. We’re disconnecting from the attachment to the thoughts that are the judgments that create a block to the light that we are. When we let a major block go then it feels like a major push upward, like we’re breaking free – woo hoo!
Judgments, cravings, aversions and all forms of attachments seem to weigh us down. They seem to tether us to the world of illusion. They keep us feeling stuck in the density of form.
In order to awaken, we must choose to release the blocks to Love that we have long treasured. We have the strength to be willing to choose healing when we’re pulled by the vision of our Christ Self and pushed by the pain of feeling separate from the source of All Good. We can either be mostly pulled by the vision or mostly pushed by the pain. We can go kicking and screaming, or we can run towards the light. We get to choose. Isn’t that wonderful? It’s actually a really cool system!
We choose our beliefs that block the light of our awareness.
We choose to release them and give the Higher Holy Spirit Self the heavy lifting of figuring out how to make the healing happen. We don’t have to figure out HOW, our only work is to ALLOW the healing.
How many times have you got a prompting from Spirit that you KNEW was for the best and said “not doing that.” Right? Let’s not do that anymore. Let’s accept the guidance we’re praying so hard to receive? Let’s ALLOW our healing to progress miraculously!
When we decide to let the blocks to Love go it feels like we’re traveling upwards in consciousness, more light, Love and Freedom. Yipee! Then, we take that momentum to help us propel THROUGH the downward part of the spiral and NOT GIVE UP.
When we’re in the downward part of the spiral it SEEMS as though something is wrong – but that’s just a wrong perspective. When we’re on that downward part of the spiral we’re actually having the STRENGTH & COURAGE to go back and clean out what’s left of those limiting beliefs so that we can completely unhook them forever.
I call it “clearing out the dregs of the pattern.”
This clearing part of our work is what gives us the awareness and momentum to release whatever block is next in line for us to address, which in turn, helps us to feel more free and light and then we’re on the upward spiral again feeling more light and more love than ever before. The pattern repeats. But it’s not linear.
If you’re willing to start paying attention, you start to recognize the pattern and when you’re clearing out the dregs you know it’s time to rejoice! It means:
You’re doing the deep work!
You’re not giving up!
You’re not stuck!
You ARE healing!
It’s happening!
And then, your GRATITUDE moves you through the darkest part and back to the upward part of the spiral. YAY!
Work it!
Prayer helps TREMENDOUSLY!
