‘Thus her whole soul was incorporated into Christ. Melting in divine love like wax before the fire, (Ps 67:3), she put on his likeness, being wholly absorbed in God just as wax is imprinted with seal.’ - Mechthild of Hackeborn.

What no one ever told us is that these are perfectly normal and natural feelings that signal the initiation of our inner journey to awaken. They are the early signs of the inner impulse to awaken, and in essence, they are themselves initiatory of our awakening. 

I grew up hearing my mother talk about the ‘thinning of the veil,’ about the mysterious happenings on the sacred evening before Samhain.

When you begin again to pay attention to what is uniquely happening in  your inner life you let the vibrancy of these transformative energies in, and allow them to touch you deeply at the level where transformation occurs.  

There is a part of us that is designed to cooperate in evolutionary change and it’s the same part of us that is designed to undergo spiritual transformation during the ordinary course of life.

The only way to discover our true gifts and live as our authentic self is to walk the path of our Awakening.

It’s what helps us re-orient to the North Star of our chosen path when the planets of our life are chaotically off course.

Our life’s work comes from the deepest part of our soul as an expression of our true self. When we allow it flow the magic of life also begins.

I dedicate this piece to the people of Gaza in sorrow and shame for what is being done you by members of the species to which I belong.

The essence of the spiritual path is to surrender to an inner transformation that reveals the core of our divinity shining though our humanity

The purpose of mystical experience, and mystical writing that records such experience, is to activate and effect awakening or transformation of consciousness in the individual mystic and her or his readers.

There is nothing in your heart that doesn’t belong in your journal.

The ultimate beauty of spiritual journaling is that our journal becomes our own sacred text.

Our soul is born of wisdom, her mother is Sophia, her lineage is ancient. She will not suffocate any longer in this fiction we call privilege and the so-called ‘first world.’ She will cast it all off and roam the shorelines, the mountains, the woods, the riverbanks.

The feminine as a vessel of spiritual transformation.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us to feel that we embody the feminine Christ because the feminine Christ is trying to express herself through all of us, through all women, and through the feminine in all men.

Everyone of us carries darkness in us. The hope is for the light to contain the darkness.

‘Who am I that I do not burn when the fire of life is alight in me? 
Who am I that I am not blinded by the midday sun shining in me?’

Midwifing the new era of human consciousness.

Life is unfolding a new era for humanity and inviting us into a new way of being. Love is seeking to transform us into its own self.
