Frequently, I traverse my day, struck by the realization of how minutely distinct I am from those in my midst, and how markedly unconventional my worldview truly stands. This isn't a matter of superiority or inferiority compared to those around me; it's merely an observation of the disparity in connecting on a profoundly intrinsic level. I readily acknowledge my apprehension: the fear of repercussion when I opt not to adhere to a predefined role —especially when I yearn to authentically express myself.
A delightful anecdote, imparted to me by Carolyn Myss, comes to mind: "What sets apart a mystic from a psychotic? The mystic knows who to talk to." Even as I write on this blog, I pause intermittently, contemplating the potential reactions of individuals to my words.
There are days when I find myself immersed in the emotions carried by those around me. How often do I wish to halt the world's relentless pace, shed the roles we play, and provide others with the sanctity of genuine witnessing, allowing them to unburden themselves and find forgiveness?
Imagine a world where authenticity is embraced, where we hold space for one another with love and support. In truth, I, like everyone else, have entertained shadowy thoughts that some might deem sinful. We've all harbored unkind judgments and rushed to label others without endeavoring to comprehend them.
Everyone grapples with their own struggles—not just the surface-level concerns of bills, children, or careers, but inner demons and burdensome sins.
Consider the seemingly trivial act of burping. Why must we apologize or excuse ourselves for something as natural as burping? Why invest so much energy into perpetuating a culture of judgment surrounding such commonplace occurrences?
Why do we tolerate pharmaceutical companies peddling their wares to the masses? In a medicated society driven by material consumerism, how much collective effort do we devote to envisioning a world that caters to the basic needs of all its inhabitants? Could fostering a global community where everyone's needs are met mitigate the rampant violence across the globe?
I often find solace in the film "A Bug's Life," which underscores the power of collective focus to effect monumental change. Therefore, I pledge to live out the remainder of my days striving for acceptance and forgiveness toward every member of our human family. Each person is a gift in my life, presenting opportunities for me to make choices aligned with my purpose on this planet.
Join me in embracing a new paradigm of Conscious Enchantment, where we no longer traverse our worlds in fear but instead venture hand in hand into the unknown. Here, every facet of our individual expression of divinity is celebrated.
Together, let us march forward, liberated from the shackles of guilt, shame, and remorse. Shame and guilt lose all power when our stories are told in safe spaces. When we live authentically and express our highest selves, such energies lose their grip on us.
I extend my gratitude to every moment that has led me to this juncture in time and space, and to each of you who have contributed to our collective journey. My love extends to all who have dared to be a part of this magnificent human experience—a realm of love and learning for us, the celestial beings of free will.
