Change is Possible
At the height of an accidental enlightenment, I experienced bliss - the likes of which I had never even known possible.
Once the bliss settled, awareness shifted back into my body and my mind re-engaged. Not in the same way as before. Certainly not as my old ego had been. My mind was now open to guidance from Source and was able to assimilate wisdom and information with discernment.
I knew then - and still know now - that life is a gift of personal and collective lessons. If we resist and resent these lessons, they will only intensify until we learn what we are meant to learn in order to evolve personal and collective consciousness. If we learn the lessons, and assimilate change, everyone wins!
Before my shift, it was too painful to even contemplate the idea that ‘Life is a gift of lessons.’ But from a newly-enlightened perspective, every karmic lesson in my past lay before me as clearly as puzzle pieces, each spiritual lesson intentionally crafted to address both sides of my human duality.
The dark puzzle pieces, presenting as challenging life events and difficult relationships, were designed to trigger and expose my ego. Before my shift, these life lessons were experienced as pain and suffering, strongly resisted and fiercely resented. In hindsight, I could see my shadow side clearly. Low self-esteem had driven patterns of people pleasing, victim mindset, judgement and blame. Once I was able to accept that life circumstances had created my ego, I could separate my Self from the lessons and forgive myself for believing I was anything other than a soul of light and Love.
The light puzzle pieces were offered through synchronicities - signs of support and reminders of Love - to guide me back to my true Self. Being so firmly entrenched in my ego, I had forgotten who I was, so Spirit reached out to my inner child - the small part of me that was still connected to my soul. The signs were deliberately linked to childhood memories of wonder and joy: kinship with the natural world (trees in particular), a fascination with light and colour (rainbows, prisms, marbles), a deep resonance with music, a pull towards stories of kindness, and delight in games of all kinds. Memories of building puzzles with my dad unlocked childhood connections to feelings of safety and belonging born from the energy of unconditional love - Source energy - soul energy.
Throughout my life, as each of these signs were presented, it was as if a Guide was whispering, “Remember…remember…remember,” and as each remembrance clicked into place, I began to grasp the extent of the support I had received throughout my life. Had I known that each of us is supported by a team of Spirit Guides, continually working to help us remember our true selves, I might never have drifted to the edge of self-destruction.
No matter how dark the world gets, we are never alone. We matter, we are supported, and we are deeply loved. This knowledge alone could save lives.
To accept that karmic lessons are meant to help us, and that everything happens for a reason - this knowledge could change lives.
Reality can be changed. Our destiny can be changed.
But change requires action, and the choice to learn life’s lessons is yours alone.
We cannot expect or force others to change.
The only thing we can change is our own perspective…our own mindset.
But, if enough people accept this responsibility, we have the potential to create real and lasting peace in this lifetime.
