The Journey
Look! A NEW kind of awakening has found you! Your integration has CLICKED into place, and everything makes sense. All that you have learned through experience - all the hidden ways of the world and the esoteric movements within yourself - are no longer just concepts to you. This integration of truths BECOMES you!
Behold! A magical coalescence of disparate lessons - "random" events, trials and victories, beauties and sorrows - explodes in alchemical reaction! What once were meaningless movements of life, seen through a nihilistic lens, have combined and transformed to create a completeness of SEEING - a purity of KNOWING - and truly, a concretization of a NEW BEING. Truth is deeply FELT, KNOWN, and EMBODIED.
​
The LIGHT of this unified awareness shines brightly from within you, and in many ways, you feel like you have a new face. (Perhaps the NEW face has always been your TRUE face...) When we arrive at this sparkling, glowing, expanded perspective, we can feel so fundamentally changed that who we were yesterday bares NO resemblance to the thing we are today! But it doesn't come as a ZAP. It comes after long cycles have run their course, it happens in the background, without your conscious mind knowing about it, and it arrives softly, like a bunny munching on cool grass. It's grounded, simple, and simultaneously explosive in its gentleness.
You are no longer the uncertain being, on uneasy ground! The "you" that was just... feeling out what you knew was true, without feeling the truth of it, has transformed into the truth itself! Once, you were grappling with conclusions you were considering, or playing with concepts that you had a fair grasp of, or tossing around ideas that you basically understood, but didn't FEEL yet. NOW you FEEL IT!!!​​
