Change is inevitable. It is the inherent law of nature, that which is in everything, part of life. A warrior knows it, owns it, and yet being fully aware of it and the finality of life, operates as if there is all the time in the world, with a young heart and mind, for that is the only way to cheat change, by constantly roiling against it, by in fact refusing to change in its depleting direction, toward the inevitable end of life. A warrior takes life in the opposite direction, toward more energy, fighting every day to remain viable, alive, and in full control of as much energy as possible. That is the warrior’s way. But at the same time, a warrior knows when it is time to change, time to conserve, time to take a new path, to go in a new direction, and for energy’s sake a warrior takes that new path, and with renewed vigor and intent forges onward, without glancing back, for a warrior knows when it is time to face the inevitable truth and move on.
I have always viewed trauma as an unsolicited invitation into a shamanic journey. The traumatic impact of Covid-19 is the world’s usher into our current collective shamanic journey.
Shamanic journeys lead us to discover our greater energetic potential, beyond the familiarity of everyday life, life currently on world pause. We have been launched into Mother Earth’s healing crisis. We are all from her and of her, in physical form. How could we not be in a healing crisis as well?
The world as we knew it was simply not sustainable. It was time for an intervention, a course correction. The world will survive this crisis, but it will never be the same, nor will we ever be the same. Let us ride this healing intent with courage and love, for all!
For most infected by the virus their journeys through fever and breath may take them through challenging encounters with fear and uncertainty. Stay calm, with the full intent of healing, as you prepare to land on the safe shores of renewed physical life.
For some, this will be their definitive journey into life beyond the physical body. For those on that final leg of their physical sojourn, keep your awareness keen and facing forward, as you launch into a whole new realm of possibility. No need to look back; we are all right behind you in our inter-dimensional energetic connectedness. How could we all not meet again?
We are being asked to take this journey as solitary beings, remaining connected virtually. This is a form of energetic connection, a gateway to the energy body we journey with in our dreams.
Carlos Castaneda once commented that true poverty was being too attached to wanting objects. We are in a time when our collective object hunger is being asked to turn to energetic connection. This is great training to evolve beyond object dependence.
That dependence has depleted Mother Earth, and so, she leads us now to evolve into greater fulfillment in our energetic connectedness. This is the shamanic journey of transformation we are all currently living. Embrace your solitary being in energetic solidarity with all other beings. We are all in this magical world together.
Keep your intent strong, that which you hold in your heart, the means by which you achieve an end, but equally the spark of an inspiration, the energy you put into upholding that which you truly know, accept, and envision as possible. Keep your intent strong, your heart calm, and your truth always known. In this manner, with loving kindness, weather through the worst of times. Each day, declare your intent aloud for the good of the self and the greater good of all. Intent!
A warrior is not neglectful but stays on top of things, attendant to that which needs doing, in all worlds. And so, in times of stress, a warrior does not neglect to stay upon a path with heart, preparing for the ultimate challenge that will surely come. A warrior moves with precision, cunning, and care, making every moment in every day count. Without wasting energy, a warrior’s intent remains strong and focused, no matter the circumstances. And with loving kindness a warrior remains considerate of all beings sharing the planet, for a warrior knows the ultimate truth, that all are one and one is all.
Your personal power lies in your own intent to change, encapsulated inside you, unused for the most part. Take it back. Use it for good, for saving yourself so that you may be available for creating a better and more just environment for all beings. In your own small and positive ways you can have an impact, but it takes effort to change, one day and one small step at a time, until you have reached your goal, until you have taken back your personal power from wherever it has gone, and begun a new journey down a path of power and intent. It all lies within you, waiting for discovery and release. Change the self, change the world.
