Releasing Resistance - November 2022

Many of us have been feeling very confused and scattered lately. We are in emotional turmoil, anxiety, fear, life changes, things around us do not make sense any more. We try to find reasons and cannot really get a grip on anything as the control over our lives seems to be slipping out of our hands.

We watch structures around us come down, the world is not as it was before, and nobody knows exactly where we are headed. Apocalypse? Third World War? Economic recession? Atomic bomb?

The world and humanity find themselves in a deep transformation process that shakes us to the core. We are entering the next evolutionary step, and we are heading there quickly. The good news is, we will see major changes very soon. This is not a process that will take hundreds of years. It might still take a decade or two, but along the way we will already be far away from what was before. We are in the midst of a cleansing that affects everything and everyone. Old trauma comes to the surface, anything inside of us that blocked our way towards a happy, fulfilled life in abundance and joy is coming to the surface to be cleared. That poses quite a challenge because we have to look the monster in the eye. There is no way around it, we cannot hide from it, and it makes its presence very known.

What to do?

We tend to want to run away and distract ourselves. But somehow that does not work any more. So we have to find another strategy.

Distraction is one of the main weapons of society to keep us dumbed down and clueless as to what is actually happening around us and inside ourselves. Distraction keeps us from connecting with ourselves, with Source, with everyone and everything around us. So now that distraction does not really work any more, connecting with ourselves, with Source, is the only way “out” or rather “in”. Because we have been living besides ourselves, negating large parts of our longings and desires in favor of what we call “reality”. This is the time to truly step into who we are, to feel ourselves in every inch of our existence. We cannot escape. The only way is through.

When I was in school, I kept having dreams of a monster that was chasing me. It was very frightening, and the dreams would occur quite frequently. I talked to a friend about it and he said “Why don’t you ask the monster what it wants from you?” This seemed a pretty daring prospect, but I decided to give it a try. So the next time the monster was chasing me down, I turned around in flight and screamed from the top of my lungs, “What do you want from me?!” The monster stopped in its tracks, looked at me tamely and answered “I just wanted to ask you what time it was.” From that moment on, I never had a dream of the monster chasing me any more.

Let’s face our fears and our traumas, our pain, our anxiety, and be with them. Feel them. Rather than running away, stay with them, give them the chance to be acknowledged. When we offer resistance is when it really hurts. When we give in and let it wash over us, we let the cleansing process happen and we will come out the other end.

That requires, presence, breathing, mindfulness. Mindfulness of our soul and its state. Love for ourselves. Let us not run away from our wounds, but sit with them and care for ourselves as we would for a child. We tend to push ourselves further, suppress our needs, move on and ignore deep heart wishes, bury ourselves in work.

This is not the time for this. Our soul needs attention, just as it is and with all that it brings to the surface. Let’s look at it. Simply look at it and feel it. Ask it what it wants from us. Be present. Become still. We are entering a new phase in the earth’s development where everything is lighter, vibrates higher, materializes faster, and we need to be prepared. The heavy weight cannot come with us, and that is why we get the chance to clear it now by walking through it. Let the tears come like a soothing rain. Breathe through your anxiety attacks, keeping the eye in the storm. Be mindful of every emotion you experience. When we do this, we might suddenly find ourselves in a stillness we did not know existed. This is the process of reintegrating the lost part of our souls, or our shadow selves.

It's okay. Let go.
