No regrets. Make your life a series of happy events by allowing for change, by being flexible, and with a bright heart let nothing hold you back from being your true self. Too many conventions restrict, deny and inhibit the true self from being allowed to live to the fullest. But you are in charge. So make a life that is more, that is fulfilling and a delight to wake up to each day. Make a life for yourself that is creative in all ways, expressive of who you have the capacity to be. Don’t hold yourself back, which will only lead to resentment. No regrets.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

When you take responsibility for yourself and your life, everything begins to change. When you finally decide you’ve had enough of what has been and take over, something changes in the unfolding of life that could not happen before. In taking responsibility for yourself and your actions, your progress enters a new phase and life takes on not only new meaning but new energy as well. When decisions are made to change new life ensures, and when blame and shame are shed there is finally room for something new to take their place. Become your own best cheerleader and let your life really take off in a new direction. With intent, determination and the power within you everything is possible.

Sending you love,

Chuck’s Place: The Collective Energy Burning Through Us All

Trial by fire…
-Illustration © 2023 Jan Ketchel

An angry God once flooded the Earth in retaliation for broken laws. Afterwards, that God humbly promised to never destroy the Earth again in that way. That power was turned over to humans, which gave rise to  Oppenheimer’s world, the world we now inhabit.

Oppenheimer’s world is the reign of the human ego, with its power to both create and destroy. That great God in the sky transmuted into the High Self, the Spirit in everyone. The challenge today rests in the relationship between ego and its High Self. That relationship is in the midst of trial by fire.

Fire was originally the sole property of the gods. It took the hero, Prometheus, to steal it from the gods and deliver it to the human psyche. That deliverance was the birth of the human ego, in the form of the fire’s light of consciousness, with its ability to see and act beyond the dark control of instinctual unconsciousness.

With knowledge came independence and the ability to choose, create, destroy, dominate and be greedy. Ego has so dismissed its Spirit’s guidance that the Spirit of nature has been called in to adjust and refine the hubris.

The collective unconscious is creating fires in the passionate verbiage of pundits, who in turn are stirring the masses with similar aggressive passions. At the physical level, fires are raging around the globe.

The fiery energy of the collective unconscious is simultaneously burning through physical nature and human nature. This dual expression of fire, within and without, is what Jung called synchronicity, an expression of the psychoid level of reality, where psyche and nature similarly reflect a moment in time, as it reverberates through all of creation.

This is the same action that gives rise to an I Ching reading, where the physical action of throwing of coins creates an image that reflects one’s spiritual predicament, at that very moment in time. The oracle reflects the oneness of Matter and Spirit at a specific moment in time.

The collective energy of nature expresses this oneness, within and without, as it burns through the hubris of ego, which has abused its royal privilege, to restore the rule of the wisdom of the High Self. This is the refining action of the trial by fire we are all now living through.

On an individual level, it is important to notice that this current of collective energy is running through all of us. Be mindful to not get ensnared by this fiery energy, or take it personally, acting it out in your social interactions. Nonetheless, we must apply the fiery light of consciousness to burn through our own defenses and illusions.

All fires require fuel to continue burning. When we don’t throw more fuel on it, it won’t keep burning. When we don’t attach to an illusory story or feeling, we will not be consumed by it.

The fire is burning off all that stands in the way of Spirit truth. To attempt to defensively reason with fire merely fans its flames. Seek refuge in the truth; let others burn their way to it. Some just have to go deeper through the trial-by-burning to get to the truth.

Bring one’s ego into alignment with High Self. Understand that the trial by fire is really the proving ground to mature the ego by burning off its excesses and illusions, and shifting its attention to address the true needs of our Great Collective Spirit Self.

Transfiguring through trial by fire,
Chuck

Don’t give up on yourself. Keep going in the direction you have chosen. Stay on the path that will bring you the best results, the deepest satisfaction and a meeting with who you truly  are. A journey to wholeness will of course be fraught with challenges; they are part of the journey and necessary bumps in the road. A commitment to change the self is one of the greatest undertakings of a lifetime and well worth the effort. Plan on a day of reassertion, reaffirmation and resetting of purpose and intent. A path of heart is the only path worth traveling.

Sending you love,

With inner balance and alignment of Self on all levels of consciousness, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, the greatest changes are possible. With a determined mental attitude in alignment with physical body prowess, combined with a calm emotional state that is rooted in spiritual knowing and determination, anything is possible. Look to gain momentum by getting in alignment in this manner to further and to enhance any process of change already begun. You will know you are in balance by how exquisitely you feel, on all levels.
