You Do Not Stand Alone
I've been absent from this newsletter the past few weeks, but very much continuing to walk the path. There really isn't another way of life for me, at least one that I remember at this point in time. This is something I've seen sensitive people struggle with from time to time. When you are new to the path, you remember what it is like to be another way, but those memories start to fade. At some point, you have become so much of who you are that you can't remember anything different.
It is then that others sometimes lash out at you for being proud, or whatever other label they put on someone confident enough to walk alone. The secret is that we are never alone, and when you fully realize the strength of the angels around you and trust the tether to God at all points in time, then there is no issue walking into a firestorm.
These are the people under dark attack right now, in 10,000 epic battles between dark and light. If you feel like the shadow is after you for no logical reason, you do not stand alone. Nay, you are invited to hold hands in rings of light with your sisters and brothers. If you choose to cultivate from the energy of conflict or inner conflict, a wild miraculous garden will grow. There is choice in the matter. You can get on your knees and beg for mercy from outside circumstances, or you can humbly ask the Divine to be your lantern, to shine light on truth and help grow you and lead you from the inside. Pieces of yourself and your own doubts may lurk in the shadows, but all of this can dissolve during the coming days. With rest, repetition, and the courage to keep asking that the Divine illuminate each step right before you.
Doubt has no place here, and doubt will do nothing but eat you from the inside out. The Divine does nothing but grow you from the inside out. The choice is yours. Some are frantically switching from one lens to the other and wanting to live in both worlds. Others demand that this path be understood before they take steps forward. Neither of those leaves you at peace.
Choose the Divine. Always. Ask the Divine. Always. And when in doubt, speak gratitude to the Divine. Don't hold your gratitude ransom for "the right things." God's things are around you right now. You are being cultivated. Forged. Transformed. Blessed while rising from the ash pile.
