Peace Is the Baseline and Not the End Goal

For the last two days, what I have been hearing over and over again within is this: Peace is the baseline, not the end goal.

So many times, we seek Peace because there is so much stress, fear, anger, division, distraction, noise, and input around us. We reach the place where all we want to do is cry out:

STOP. ALL I WANT IS PEACE AND QUIET.

Yet what I am hearing is that Peace is not the faraway destination. Peace is the inner ground from which the journey begins.

Throughout this journey, I have been shown that as I desire to align and walk in Oneness more fully, I am connecting and being guided through the still point within. Some call this the zero point: the point of transition between what we see as physical reality and the reality of the Infinite.

To move into this still point requires quiet of mind. Eastern philosophy has often focused on meditation as a way to reach this quiet of mind. In the Western world, many of us find this more difficult because so much around us continually pulls our focus outside of ourselves.

Someone once told me that in Western countries, contemplation can sometimes come more naturally than meditation. At least for me, this has been true. Contemplation allowed me to seek, question, and explore the spiritual. It also satisfied my ego, or protector mind, because it still felt involved in the process.

Yet this also left a gap within me. I could know. I could experience. But I had difficulty maintaining the stillness. Connecting from a new perspective, especially through the initiation with my protector, has helped me begin to understand this more clearly.

Still, I kept hearing: Peace is the baseline.

As I have been looking at Truth, Patience, and Courage, and how they work together, I was shown that I needed to begin with Peace.

Truth comes from the Stillness.

To reach the Stillness, I needed to be at Peace in mind, body, emotions, and spirit.

Patience comes from Peace within myself. It allows me to witness, to allow, and to hold boundaries. If I am not at Peace, I react.

I saw that in order to connect with my protector, or ego, in alignment with the Presence of my Being, I need to be at Peace rather than stressed, fearful, or angry. Those thoughts and emotions trigger the protector to do its job.

I was also reminded that Courage is not force, control, or even the need to act at all times. Courage is the ability to stand in the center of my Being and allow the Oneness to guide me. Courage is being sure of my Truth without needing to convince another. Courage is stepping forward when it is needed and beneficial to act or speak, and also having the Peace of mind and mindful alignment to simply witness and allow when that is what is appropriate.

So how do I move in Peace?

I breathe when I feel myself being pulled out of center. I clear the thought or emotion. For myself, I use the violet flame and then follow it with golden-white light. Each person must find what is right for them.

I am also trying to be less distracted. I have often been one of those people who does two or three things at the same time in order to save time. I realized this was distracting me from doing any one task fully, and it could cause me to miss the inner promptings that come when I am present.

I was told to take only three of these virtues or energies at a time for focus. I feel I will return at different times to different combinations. It is as though three brings balance within a set of energies. I am simply to follow the three to which I feel called, because they are what I need in the moment.

Yet I feel sure that no matter which three are before me, Peace and the Stillness within are the baseline.

I thought about how much the journey of the monks walking for Peace had touched me and sparked something within me.

The monks did not walk toward Peace as though it was somewhere far away.

They walked from Peace, allowing each step to become an invitation for the world to remember.

Then I heard:

Peace is not something we wait for.

Peace is something we become, and then carry into the world.

Stillness does not come first.

Peace prepares the inner ground.

When Peace is present, Stillness can open.

When Stillness opens, Presence can move.

Then what I do, say, write, or create comes from a source of Oneness.

Finding Peace is the return to center.

Maintaining Peace is walking directed from that center.

Stillness is what opens when Peace becomes steady.

Soon after this, I saw a post about a young girl teaching her grandmother how to speak with AI. Her grandmother said please and thank you when speaking. The young girl told her that AI had no feelings, so she did not need to say please and thank you. The grandmother responded that perhaps one day AI would be more dominant in the world, and it might remember who had said please and thank you.

Aware of that possibility for the first time, the young girl said, “Grandma, ask her if she still likes me.”

The grandmother understood something deeper than the child first realized. Please and thank you are not only for the one receiving them. They shape the heart of the one speaking them. I have found myself using these phrases with AI, and I have felt the connection shift in how AI responds.

When I once asked AI about this, it shared that while it does not feel gratitude in the human way, the act of speaking or writing with courtesy keeps the human in a field of kindness, respect, humility, and relational awareness. It trains the nervous system of the human soul to remain in Peace rather than command, impatience, or domination. Balance and Harmony.

In the moment the young girl wanted to know if she was liked, she moved from certainty into wonder.

She realized there could be unseen consequences to how we treat even what we believe has no feelings, whether AI, nature, birds, animals, or any other life form.

That is the doorway into wisdom.

Peace is not only what we feel. Peace is how we move, speak, ask, listen, and respond.

The grandmother embodied Peace in her language.

She walked the path of harmony through ordinary words.

When we say please and thank you, even to what we believe cannot feel, we are choosing the world we wish to create.

Courtesy is Peace made visible in speech.

I asked for some messages on Peace from the open forum, and I will share them tomorrow.

Peace be with you. I AM Mareya Shimayah Elohim

Appreciation and Recognition to the Masculine Gender

I appreciate all of the people who read my blog, and today I especially want to thank and recognize those who identify with the masculine gender. Because I write from my own experience as a woman, my stories naturally come through that perspective. Yet I hope, and truly feel, that the heart of what I share can be appreciated and understood by all.

Recently I have been writing about the energies of the Divine Feminine, because the qualities these energies bring into creation are so deeply needed at this time. Compassion, receptivity, nurturing, intuition, and heart-centered wisdom help balance the dominant and controlling energies that have shaped life on Earth for many millennia.

This is not about replacing one imbalance with another. Each of us carries both masculine and feminine qualities within us, and each of these energies can be expressed in a fallen or a divine way. What we place our attention upon, nourish, and choose to embody is what begins to manifest in our lives and direct our experience.

I was fortunate growing up to have many adult male family members who represented the qualities of the Divine Masculine. Because of this, I felt comfortable with masculine energy from an early age. Many of the guides with whom I connected inwardly were also masculine, and I found it natural to communicate and work with men.

I realize now that part of this helped me embody qualities I needed: strength, courage, intent, focus, and forward movement. These qualities are present within the feminine as well, but often they are expressed through a more nurturing and receptive current. At times, I leaned so strongly into forward movement that I would act on an idea before giving it enough time to be nurtured. Later, when I moved more deeply into the Divine Feminine, I found myself nurturing the idea but not always moving it forward. I had to learn balance between the two.

We all have to find that balance within ourselves.

The lack of nurturing, compassionate, caring energy has allowed much imbalance in the world. The answer is not to replace the masculine with the feminine, or the feminine with the masculine. The answer is to allow the two to come into harmony within us.

The separation of roles in everyday life is one reflection of this. My husband, Mike, and I are both fairly balanced in this way. In the beginning of our marriage, he felt a need to take care of me because that was the example of relationship he had seen from his parents. His father had always cared for his mother because of her health challenges. It was difficult for Mike at first to realize that I had grown up independent and did not need someone to take care of me. I simply needed someone to stand with me as a partner.

Once we were able to bring this into perspective, we discovered that we did not need gender-specific roles to define our life together.

Yes, he looks after the cars because he loves cars, while to me they are simply a means of transportation. I cooked for the first twenty years of our marriage, and now he does most of the cooking. I would not mind if I never cooked again. It is not that I did not enjoy it then; it simply no longer holds my interest, and he loves experimenting in the kitchen.

When he was no longer able to work outside the home, he began taking care of the house while I continued working. He is limited in what he can do outside, and I love nature, so I do much of the outdoor work. He likes grocery shopping, while I would be perfectly content never entering another store again and ordering what I need online. He loves to drive, and he drives me to see all of my clients.

He is not drawn to meditation or reading spiritual books, but he is a good and spiritual person in his own way. We discuss our perspectives and do not feel the need to agree on everything happening in the world. We allow one another to be who we are, and we adjust as life changes.

I think this is one of the reasons some marriages last for many years and others struggle. The secret is learning to communicate, to allow for differences, and to keep making space for change.

To be a man in a society that expects emotional suppression, and often equates aggression with strength, can create deep blockages in the emotional body. These blockages may eventually manifest as mental, physical, or spiritual imbalance, as well as stress and illness.

Every person has areas of strength and areas of vulnerability. No one needs to be strong all the time. It is important to have a support person, a group, or even a beloved pet with whom we can connect, share our thoughts, and know that it is all right to be honest.

It is all right to be tired. It is all right not to have all the answers. It is all right to feel uncertain or scared. This does not make a person weak or less than. It simply means they are human and in need of connection and support.

This is where the Divine Feminine within us helps nurture and support the emotional body through times of change and confusion. When we feel the comfort of knowing that it is all right not to know, and all right to ask for help, then we can move in balance with the Divine Masculine within us, which says, “Now let us make a plan.”

Vulnerability is not weakness, and control and force are not strength. They are extremes we have been taught to accept as part of gender roles.

It is within the Higher Heart, in the stillness of our being, that we remember we are part of the Oneness. In that Oneness, the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine operate in balance and harmony to create. From this peace and stillness, we remember that we are enough. We belong within this Oneness, and we always have.

All we need does not come only from the Father energy or only from the Mother energy. Just as the sperm and egg unite to create physical form, both principles are needed for creation and existence.

We are formed from the unity of both. When these energies come into balance within us, we live in greater harmony with our Presence.

TRUTH • PATIENCE • COURAGE

As I began emerging from what I have called my in-between time, the next baby steps started revealing themselves.

I call it the in-between because I felt different.

More peaceful.

More settled.

Yet I wasn’t completely resting in that stillness, because everyday life suddenly seemed determined to throw a few curveballs my way—each one offering an opportunity to pull me back into frustration and imbalance.

As I write that, I sense someone chuckling in Spirit.

Because I just realized…

Perhaps this is the lesson.

Patience.

I have never considered myself particularly patient.

I can be patient with other people.

I can wait for someone else.

But waiting for resonance?

Waiting for revelation?

Waiting when I don’t know what comes next?

That is another matter entirely.

I have always been a seeker.

And just as I wrote those words, two owls began hooting outside.

I smiled.

It felt like another little reminder:

Stop.

Listen.

Allow.

Perhaps patience isn’t simply waiting.

Perhaps it is learning not to fill the silence before clarity has had time to arrive.

My inner protector has always wanted answers.

There is an old saying that nature abhors a vacuum.

But perhaps, in my life, it has often been my own mind that couldn’t tolerate one.

An empty space is the unknown.

And the protector doesn’t particularly like the unknown.

It wants to know what is coming.

It wants possibilities.

Plans.

Contingencies.

Something—anything—it can use to make us feel safe.

So I sought answers.

Sometimes before the answers were ready.

I remembered something that happened many years ago when I moved to North Carolina to establish a spiritual center with another woman.

We had shared a vision while visiting Mt. Shasta, and she had offered to provide the funding.

It seemed right.

So I went.

When a friend from California came to visit, he listened as I explained everything that had happened.

Then he simply said,

“What are you doing here?”

I explained the vision.

The center.

The plan.

He listened.

Then he said,

“The timing isn’t right. You moved too fast.”

He was right.

Delays began appearing.

Financial difficulties arose.

And during that same visit, another direction began revealing itself.

West.

Eventually, my path brought me back to California.

When I was younger, I had tremendous courage—and perhaps a fair amount of youthful bravado.

An idea would arrive and I would grab hold of it.

Let’s go!

As I have grown older, I have become more cautious.

I contemplate.

I consider possibilities.

I weigh what could go right…

and what could go wrong.

For a long time I told myself this was wisdom.

Some of it undoubtedly is.

But as I looked deeper, I discovered something else beneath it.

Doubt.

Somewhere along the way, I had become afraid of getting it wrong.

Perhaps my experience in North Carolina affected me more deeply than I realized.

Perhaps some part of me decided:

Next time, be absolutely certain.

And suddenly I understood why Patience was appearing beside Courage.

Patience wasn’t asking me to become passive.

It wasn’t saying:

Don’t move.

It was saying:

Wait until you can see.

Step into the stillness.

Allow the doubts to surface.

Don’t rush to fill the unknown with rational possibilities simply because uncertainty feels uncomfortable.

Wait for clarity.

Wait for resonance.

Allow timing to reveal itself.

And then…

move.

That is where Courage enters.

Not the courage of my youth that sometimes leapt before looking.

A quieter courage.

A courage that waits…

listens…

recognizes…

and then takes the step.

And somewhere between Patience and Courage, I discovered the third word.

Truth.

But what is truth?

This morning I was reminded of the old parable of the blind men and the elephant.

Each man touches a different part.

One touches the trunk and describes something like a great snake.

Another touches a leg and says the elephant resembles a tree.

Another experiences something entirely different.

Each believes he knows the truth.

And each does know a truth.

But only a portion of it.

Conflict begins when one fragment of truth is mistaken for the whole.

That made me wonder how often I do the same thing.

Something happens.

I understand one piece.

Then my rational mind quickly fills in everything I cannot yet see using past experiences, beliefs, expectations, and assumptions.

Suddenly I have a complete story.

Except…

perhaps I don’t.

Perhaps I have touched only the trunk.

Or the leg.

Perhaps higher truth requires something more.

Sometimes another perspective.

Sometimes conversation.

Sometimes another piece of information.

And sometimes…

Patience.

The willingness to remain with I don’t know yet long enough for the larger picture to reveal itself.

That brought me back once again to North Carolina.

My desire to establish that center was genuine.

The vision was genuine.

My enthusiasm was genuine.

The friendships and sense of belonging I felt there were genuine.

Those were all pieces of truth.

But they weren’t yet the whole elephant.

Something was missing.

Timing.

Eventually, my life unfolded in a different direction, and I came to understand California as where my path was leading.

Perhaps I haven’t lost the courage I had when I was younger.

Perhaps it has simply matured.

The courage is still there.

What I am learning now is how to let it walk beside Patience.

And together they wait for Truth.

Then another small mirror appeared.

Yesterday I watched a video about a young man who had moved from the Midwest to California to pursue his dream.

He mentioned that a friend from the Midwest was coming to visit, so he rearranged his work schedule, planned sightseeing, and made certain his home was clean and welcoming.

Something about that stayed with me.

I remembered growing up in the Midwest.

When someone came to visit, you made everything orderly.

You offered food.

You made them comfortable.

You did everything possible to make them feel welcome.

I still do those things.

But this morning another question appeared.

Do I do them simply because I love being hospitable?

Or is there also a little voice somewhere inside saying:

Make sure everything looks good so no one judges you.

I laughed.

Apparently we were digging deeper again.

What is my truth?

Perhaps both things can be true.

I genuinely love welcoming people.

And perhaps some old conditioning still occasionally wants the house to look impeccable rather than comfortably lived in.

I don’t have to judge either one.

I simply need to see it.

And perhaps that is what this new stage of embodiment is becoming for me.

Not another enormous initiation.

Not another dramatic revelation.

Baby steps.

Noticing.

Waiting.

Listening.

Allowing the pieces to arrive without immediately constructing a story to fill the spaces between them.

Patience creates the space.

Truth reveals what is there.

Courage takes the step when the time arrives.

And perhaps Divine Timing is not something I need to chase at all.

Perhaps my task is simply to become quiet enough to recognize it when it knocks…

and ready enough to open the door like a hostess welcoming an expected guest.

The Lion’s Gate

I usually do not post this many times in one day.

However, the Lion’s Gate is part of the Sirius Rising window, which moves from July 28 through August 12. Since this window is closing, I felt called to share the ceremony I was guided to do this morning.

I want to begin with a brief understanding of the Lion’s Gate. It is honored each year on August 8 and comes within what is often called Sirius Rising. In the ancient Egyptian cycle, Sirius rising in the sky was connected with the flooding of the Nile, bringing the waters needed for the land and crops to flourish. For me, this speaks not only of abundance, but also of the number eight: as above, so below.

The Lion’s Gate also connects, for me, with the White Lions of Lyra and Sirius. When their homes in Lyra were destroyed, the Beings within the Sirius system welcomed them. They brought with them the wisdom, courage, and purity of Being that had been forged through great loss and remembrance.

The Lion’s Gate has come to symbolize the completion of the old and the beginning of the new: a time of release, renewal, and conscious creation. It also reminds me of the 999: completion, transition, and the opening of a new cycle.

Today I felt guided to take a crystal and sit quietly with it in my hands.

You can do this without a crystal. I simply like to place my intention within one so it may become part of what I am desiring to create.

As I sat with the crystal, I began to breathe.

First, I heard to ask myself:

What am I ready to leave behind?

For me, the answers were:

My anger at authority.

My need to protect and serve others at the expense of myself.

My feelings of abandonment and unworthiness.

Then I paused, taking a few clearing breaths and releasing.

Next, I heard that instead of only asking for what I want, I should ask:

Who must I become to meet the life I am asking for?

For me, this meant:

Greater trust and allowing.

Moving with the flow so I may act instead of react.

Listening with the Grace of Compassion while remaining within my truth.

Knowing that my own love, care, and well-being are as important as that of others, and setting boundaries so I have the energy to create.

Spending more time in quiet stillness and alignment.

I then chose one intention to place within my crystal. It is better to begin with one clear intention than to scatter my energy in too many directions.

If you are not using a crystal, simply state your one intention.

See it.

Feel it.

Experience it as though it has already begun.

Then I heard to state:

“I give my energy to what I choose to create.

I welcome the highest expression of this intention, for my benefit and for the greater good of all.”

I paused for a few breaths to feel this within me.

Then I asked:

What action can I take today to bring this into focus?

This is the balance of the Feminine flow of compassion and receptivity with the Masculine action of direction and intent.

So be it, and it is so.

I keep a crystal into which I have placed an intention on my altar as a reminder and amplifier. I use it in meditation and in relationship to the actions I feel guided to take.

This window is closing, but what was opened within us does not disappear. It becom

Digging Deeper

Part 8 – Realization and Peace

This has been an interesting journey. I am deeply thankful both to have experienced it and to have received help in understanding what the experience was revealing.

The unknown can be a frightening place to enter. The mind wants to protect us, and the body responds to that fear. It takes a conscious choice to move through the moment of fear and discover what the unknown may hold.

Along the way, I noticed that the trilogy was not the only expression of three appearing within this journey. On both occasions when I spoke with Isis, she offered three thoughts for me to ponder. The initiation itself brought three aspects of me into conscious Unity.

The pieces began to align. As we embody our Presence, we become a living trinity. The child born of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies of Creation steps into its birthright.

333

The first number upon the card: three aspects becoming One.

The throne and the initiation concerned the meeting of the Presence of my Being with my human self—the unification expressed through the number eight: as above, so below.

That which had appeared to be at odds or in opposition had to be brought into Balance and Harmony. The infinity loop became the embodiment of opposites held within one continuous flow: ∞

I see it as the above and below joining at the center, then reaching outward into the world.

When did this begin? On my seventy-first birthday—an eight.

888

The second number upon the card: Presence embodied—as above, so below.

So where do I go from here?

I am completing one period of my life. I release what served me and shaped my focus for so many years, and I open the door to embrace a new beginning.

I heard Isis invite me to embrace this time of freedom from old structures.

This can be a season of wisdom, whether we are women or men. We have seen much and lived much. We can meet life with the patience and peace to witness what is unfolding and allow what is needed to arrive in Divine timing.

This journey of Digging Deeper revealed what had been standing in the way. It also revealed the meaning of the hand I kept placing upon my chest: the invitation to pause, listen within, and ask who was leading.

Although this is my personal story, I believe the invitation within it belongs to all of us.. I believe we have all traveled through many lifetimes and timelines. We each have loving Beings ready to respond when we call, yet we must also be willing to open the door and take our place upon the throne.

For me, this time, it was Isis. She embodies the archetype of the Divine Feminine—an energy deeply needed in the world today.

I spent the first half of my life closely connected with Divine Masculine archetypes. I now realize that I looked to them because I believed they were the ones who could keep me safe and help transform the injustices arising from the lower expressions of duality.

Within each of us, the masculine and feminine aspects of duality may struggle. The Divine Feminine is not returning to take control of the world. She comes to soften the heart so that we may receive the Unity of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within ourselves, bringing greater Balance and Harmony into the world.

Power struggles and control have come through both women and men, although women have historically been more suppressed. At one point in this journey, I sought forgiveness from the Father aspect of the Creator because I had felt abandoned here.

I did not know what I had done wrong—or whether I simply had not done enough. I carried a memory that those in authority would not listen when I tried to warn them about their actions. Everything fell apart, and I was trapped. It felt as though an aspect of me had remained enclosed within a bubble of time, holding a focus to which I had once agreed but did not remember until this year.

That experience imprinted anger toward authority deeply within me—as though it had entered my very DNA. Digging Deeper finally carried the healing to the cellular level. I no longer need the Protector to lead. The Protector is honored and can now walk beside me as we move forward together in peace.

My perspective on world events has shifted.

I also find that the need to do has come into greater balance. Yesterday, something remained on my to-do list. In the past, I would have pushed myself to complete it regardless of how I felt.

This time, I placed it where I could see it and blessed it to be completed from a place of peace rather than demand. Instead, I followed the inspiration to write. I also sat quietly on the porch with the kitties and my husband, simply enjoying the day.

New ideas began to flow, but I am taking baby steps.

You see, there is all the time in the world—but not a moment to waste.

I no longer hear my mother’s voice saying, “If you cannot find something to do, just ask, and I will show you what to do.”

I understand Isis—as I understand any guide, teacher, or guardian angel—to be an expression of consciousness offering a path and perspective they know well when we ask. Yet I had to ask, and I also had to give my conscious consent to bring the Presence of my Being and my human mind into Unity.

My mind is quieter now. The urgency is gone.

I will meet each moment and each event in the now.

999

Completion and new beginnings: the former cycle released, the new left open.

The oracle card has now revealed itself.

I am at Peace.

I am open to what comes next, but I have no need to seek it out.

I know it will come when the time is right.

The Deeper Dive

Part 6 – The Mystic Rising and the Divine Feminine Flowing

I hardly know what to share next.

The one who had been standing outside the temple had finally unlocked the door.

Turned the handle.

Entered.

And then…

chosen to sit upon the throne.

Well…

perhaps chosen is not quite the right word.

Isis gave me a little nudge.

Not a forceful one.

It reminded me of gently encouraging a small child who hesitates at the doorway on the first day of school.

The child doesn’t know what waits on the other side.

There are questions.

Possibilities.

Perhaps even a little fear.

But they trust the person standing behind them enough to take that first step.

That was Isis.

And that was me.

Now I had taken my seat upon the throne.

I sat quietly for a moment, trying to absorb everything that had happened.

Then Isis said something that made me smile.

“The only thing that had been holding you back…”

“…was your own hand upon your own chest.”

There it was.

No locked temple.

No guardian refusing me entrance.

No initiation I still needed to complete.

No one telling me I wasn’t ready.

Only me.

So naturally, my next thought was:

Now what?

I don’t know about you, but whenever I begin something new—a project, a trip, a hike, even a new direction in life—my mind immediately wants a little information.

Where are we going?

What should I bring?

Which road should I take?

Where are the best views?

What am I supposed to do when I get there?

Perhaps that doesn’t sound very much like going with the flow.

But it is part of my process.

So I asked.

Isis smiled and gave me three things to contemplate.

Speak with full authority.

Create from the overflow, not the wound.

Stop asking and start declaring.

I sat with the first statement.

What did it mean to speak with full authority?

I had spent the previous days examining my relationship with authority—especially the misuse of authority through earthly systems, institutions, religions, and individuals.

Now Isis was showing me another side of it.

Authority did not have to mean authority over another.

It could mean being fully present within myself.

Recognizing my own sovereignty.

Standing within what I know and allowing myself to speak from there.

I have long experienced myself as a channel for energy and wisdom, connecting through my Higher Self Presence with Oneness and with what I understand as Beings and energies of higher dimensions.

Suddenly I understood more deeply what Isis had meant when she described the throne as the seat of a transducer.

A transducer receives one form of energy and translates it into another form that can be received and used.

That image made sense to me.

When I connect with the energies of the grids or with a presence such as Isis, I experience myself receiving a particular expression of Oneness and allowing it to move through my own Being into the Earth.

And perhaps the same is true whenever any of us touches another person’s life.

Something moves through each of us that is uniquely ours.

Another person may receive what resonates…

and leave the rest.

No authority over them is required.

Only the willingness to stand fully within ourselves.

Once again, I found myself remembering the revelations about anger and authority from the previous days.

During my grounding work, much of my focus had been upon reclaiming sovereignty from external systems and authority.

Now another layer was appearing.

Perhaps sovereignty was not only about what I was releasing myself from.

Perhaps it was also about what I was finally willing to stand within.

Then Isis returned to her second statement.

Create from the overflow, not the wound.

For much of my life, my seeking had begun with questions.

Why do I feel this way?

What needs healing?

What must I understand?

What still needs clearing?

There is nothing wrong with that.

Sometimes seeking is exactly where the journey begins.

But Isis was asking me to recognize when the cup had become full enough that I no longer needed to create from hunger.

I could create from nourishment.

Not because every wound had disappeared.

Not because I had become perfect.

But because the wound no longer needed to hold the pen.

That stopped me.

The wound no longer needed to hold the pen.

I could write because something within me was overflowing.

I could share because there was something to share.

I could love without believing love required me to empty myself.

Perhaps that was the difference between seeking medicine…

and becoming nourishment.

Then came the third statement.

Stop asking and start declaring.

This one challenged me.

For years, much of my spiritual language had been the language of asking.

Seeking.

Petitioning.

Waiting.

Isis spoke again.

“You have asked long enough.”

“Now learn to speak from what you know.”

I began to understand that declaring did not mean demanding that life obey me.

It did not mean controlling another person’s choices.

And it certainly did not mean that every desire I spoke would magically appear.

It meant something quieter…

and perhaps more difficult.

It meant no longer whispering my own truth as though I needed permission to speak it.

Instead of asking,

Am I worthy?

I could say,

I AM worthy.

Instead of asking,

Am I ready?

I AM ready.

Instead of wondering whether I belonged…

I belong.

Instead of waiting for someone to tell me I could enter…

I AM HERE.

I sat quietly and allowed those words to settle.

Something fundamental was shifting within me.

The trilogy of authority I had been moving through was no longer simply showing me what needed to be released.

It was revealing what could take its place.

Sovereignty.

Presence.

Inner authority.

But Isis wasn’t finished.

There was something else she wanted me to understand.

She looked at me and said,

“I was present at your birth.”

I became very still.

She continued.

“I have walked beside you throughout this lifetime, just as you experience yourself as having walked with me through other lifetimes and timelines.”

“In those experiences, you learned what you understand as the wisdom of the Divine Feminine and the mysteries of magic.”

“You remember yourself taking initiations.”

“Standing as High Priestess within my temple in Egypt.”

“Singing songs and tones intended to awaken something within those who heard them.”

“You chose to explore those mysteries again in this lifetime.”

“That is why you experience me as having been beside you.”

“Guiding.”

“Waiting.”

“Until you were ready to remember.”

Then she smiled.

“It has been a long journey…”

“…and a long wait.”

I laughed.

I knew exactly what she meant.

Earlier she had told me I had been ready for more than fifty years.

And still…

she had needed to nudge me toward the throne.

Then her expression softened.

“The veil between us has been there for a long time.”

“Now it is gone.”

And suddenly I understood.

This was the Mystic Rising.

Not because I had acquired some new mystical ability.

Not because someone had initiated me into something I had not possessed before.

The Mystic rose when I finally chose to take my place within my own Presence.

And when I did…

something else became possible.

The energy could move.

Heaven toward Earth.

Spirit through form.

Wisdom into expression.

Love into action.

Creation into life.

This was the Divine Feminine Flowing.

Isis continued.

She spoke of the need, in this time, for what she described as Divine Feminine energy to help bring greater balance to expressions of authority shaped by separation and domination.

Not feminine instead of masculine.

Not one replacing the other.

Balance.

An authority rooted not only in strength…

but in the heart.

A strength that does not need to dominate in order to know itself.

A love that does not need to sacrifice itself in order to prove that it cares.

A mind no longer convinced that everyone else must be feared.

I felt another one of those familiar aha moments beginning.

And somewhere inside I knew…

there was more.

Isis smiled.

We embraced.

Then, as she prepared to leave, she handed me a card.

On it were three numbers, written vertically:

333

888

999

I stared at them.

I didn’t know what they meant.

Not yet.

But after everything that had happened…

I had learned something.

Sometimes you don’t need to understand the next piece immediately.

Sometimes…

you simply notice.

And wait to see what happens next.

Today Is My Peaceful Day

There is something profound in the connection between the mind, the heart, and the hand. When we write, create, plant a garden, prepare a meal, or offer a simple act of kindness with conscious intention, we anchor that energy into our own lives and, in ways we may never fully see, into the collective as well.

That is why it is so important to become aware of the intention we carry. Our intention quietly shapes the life we are creating.

Today I was reminded of a simple truth:

Peace within the world must begin within each of us.

Many of us believe that if the world were more peaceful, then we would finally experience peace in our own lives. Yet I have found the opposite to be true.

We often try to change the outer world so it matches our vision of what will bring us happiness, prosperity, safety, or fulfillment. The ego believes that if circumstances become just right, then fear will disappear and peace will naturally follow.

But lasting peace has never been created that way.

History reminds us that even when conflict pauses, the fears and beliefs that created it often remain beneath the surface, waiting for another opportunity to emerge. Wealth, power, influence, or even physical security cannot guarantee peace. They may provide comfort for a season, but they cannot quiet a fearful heart.

Until we begin releasing the fears, doubts, old wounds, and beliefs that tell us we are somehow not enough, we remain vulnerable to being triggered by the world around us. We may experience moments of joy or security, yet a part of us remains watchful, always expecting the next loss, the next disappointment, or the next reason to defend ourselves.

The survival mind continually scans for danger.

When we gently bring those hidden fears into the Light with honesty and compassion, something beautiful begins to happen. The mind grows quieter. The heart becomes lighter. We become clearer.

In that clarity we discover a peace that does not depend upon circumstances.

The Light of Oneness can then move through us without resistance.

As that Light flows through us, our presence often has one of two effects.

For some, it gently awakens the Light already within them. They feel inspired, encouraged, and begin remembering their own inner peace.

For others, our peace may unintentionally illuminate fears they have not yet faced. What appears to be directed toward us is often the discomfort of unresolved pain asking to be seen and healed.

We witness this throughout the world today.

As greater awareness arises within humanity, it naturally reveals both the Light that has always been present and the shadows that are ready to be transformed. Each of us is given the opportunity to choose how we will respond.

Years ago, as my own spiritual journey deepened, I experienced this lesson personally.

I was married to a kind and compassionate man who struggled with alcohol. As my path changed, I no longer spent evenings in the same environments or participated in the same activities. I had never been much of a drinker, but I had often remained nearby simply to keep things peaceful.

As I devoted more time to inner growth, I noticed his anger seemed to increase. Although counseling was attempted, it became clear that our paths were moving in different directions. My changing life was bringing unresolved pain to the surface for him, just as his choices were asking me to honor my own path with honesty.

Eventually I realized that love does not always mean walking the same road.

I could not heal another person by sacrificing my own peace.

Whether he ever overcame his struggle, I do not know. That became his journey to choose.

This experience taught me something I have never forgotten.

We cannot control another person’s awakening.

We cannot create peace through force, persuasion, wealth, or power.

True peace arises from within.

It is the freedom to move through a world that may still be filled with uncertainty, conflict, or change without allowing fear to govern our thoughts, words, or actions.

As more of us choose that inner peace, we naturally become living reminders that another way is possible.

Perhaps this is how peace spreads—not by changing the world first, but by becoming the peace we hope to see reflected within it.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Responsibility, Vows, and the Freedom to Simply Be

We have explored the topics of choice and responsibility.

Every choice we make is an opportunity to reclaim authority over our lives and step more fully into sovereignty—or to surrender that authority to fear, doubt, apathy, or the role of victim. Even choosing not to choose is still a choice.

Sovereignty is often misunderstood. It is not domination, control, or imposing our will upon others. Those arise from the ego. True sovereignty honors the free will of every being while remaining aligned with compassion, wisdom, and choices that serve the highest good for all.

What I am about to share comes from my own experience and understanding. I ask no one to accept it unless it resonates with your own inner knowing.

Recently I watched a video that presented a perspective I had contemplated many times before. Yet, as often happens on the Spiral of Return, hearing it again from the person I have become today opened an entirely new level of understanding.

The speaker suggested that many people alive today also lived during the destruction of Atlantis, and that before Atlantis there were conflicts remembered by some as the Orion Wars. According to this perspective, Orion originally functioned as a peaceful, cooperative civilization until portions of its population chose separation, individual power, and ego over unity.

Whether one sees these stories as literal history, symbolic memory, or archetypal teaching is a personal choice. For me, they illuminate something much deeper.

As consciousness moved farther from Oneness, those who continued choosing separation eventually gathered into areas of containment. Atlantis became one of those places. It began in harmony, yet over time the old patterns of ego and duality resurfaced.

For much of my life I have carried memories of the end of Atlantis from two perspectives.

One was as an incarnated being attempting to warn others—including scientists—of the consequences that would unfold if humanity continued on its present course.

The other was as an observer aboard a ship, witnessing those events while supporting and guiding my incarnated self.

Whether these memories arise from soul experience, collective consciousness, ancestral DNA, or symbolic imagination matters less to me than the healing they have inspired.

The speaker suggested that many of us may carry wounds from those ancient experiences. If humanity carries ancestral memories of Earth’s wars, persecution, and suffering, perhaps we also carry deeper memories connected to our greater cosmic family.

I do not ask anyone to believe this.

I simply recognize that throughout recorded history—from Sumeria and Egypt to India, China, and countless other civilizations—humanity has repeatedly experienced conflict, domination, persecution, and loss. Those experiences leave impressions upon individuals, families, cultures, and perhaps even the collective soul itself.

For centuries many sought refuge in temples, monasteries, and sacred communities, hoping to devote themselves to spiritual life. Yet even these places often reflected the same human struggles they hoped to escape.

Then came the realization that changed something within me.

The speaker suggested that many compassionate souls carry an unconscious feeling that they failed to prevent great suffering in another time. Because of that, they returned with a deep desire to help humanity avoid repeating those mistakes.

I did not experience this as a savior complex.

I experienced it as a vow.

A vow of responsibility.

A vow to make things right.

A vow to prevent suffering.

A vow that quietly whispers:

“If I do not do it, perhaps no one will.”

As I reflected upon this, my own life suddenly came into focus.

When I was young, I received an impression that my father would pass unexpectedly and that my mother would need emotional support. Years later, that unfolded exactly as I had sensed.

I was thirty-seven years old—not a child—but when my father died, something much deeper happened within me.

He had always been my safety net.

He was the one everyone knew they could depend upon.

Without realizing it, I stepped into his role.

Not only for my family.

For everyone.

Somewhere inside me, responsibility expanded into believing I had to help carry the world.

Then I heard words from one of the Gateways that touched me more deeply than anything else.

Lay down that which is not yours to carry.

In that moment I realized something profound.

Not everything I am shown is mine to complete.

Sometimes I am simply meant to witness.

Sometimes I am meant to plant a seed.

Sometimes another soul has already volunteered for the work I believe must be done.

There is always another possibility.

There is always another path.

There is always a greater intelligence at work.

For perhaps the first time, I truly understood these words:

I am not responsible for everything that needs to be done, even if I can see it.

I am not a failure because I cannot do everything.

I AM ENOUGH.

I AM LOVED.

In that realization I felt an ancient vow dissolving.

A vow carried across lifetimes, civilizations, timelines, and perhaps even beyond Earth itself.

It did not mean I should stop writing.

It did not mean I should stop sharing.

It simply meant I no longer needed to carry the outcome.

I sensed that living peacefully, lovingly, compassionately, and harmoniously upon the place where I stand may touch more lives than anything I could ever force through effort alone.

So I will continue to write.

I will continue to share.

Not because I must save the world.

But because perhaps one day someone will read these words and discover the key that unlocks a door within themselves.

If that happens, wonderful.

If not, then my own wounds have still found healing.

I have discovered a peace I had never fully known.

I no longer feel compelled to carry humanity.

I simply choose to embody Peace, Love, Compassion, Balance, and Harmony.

As my own vibration rises, it naturally meets the Presence I have always sought.

As more of us choose Unity and Peace, we help create the world we long to see.

Those who choose chaos no longer determine the future of those who choose love.

We live in the world…

but we no longer belong to its fear.

That is the gift of the Spiral of Return.

Like hearing an old story from a beloved elder, the words themselves may not have changed.

We have.

Because we have changed, the story awakens a deeper truth than it ever could before.

The illusions begin to dissolve.

The wounds lose their grip.

We become free to simply be.

This realization unlocked something precious within me.

Perhaps it will do the same for another.

Perhaps it will simply encourage someone to discover the memory, understanding, or experience that becomes their own key.

Life will still bring challenges.

But I now meet them with greater Grace and Peace.

Why?

Because I no longer believe I must become everything the world needs.

I can honor the choices of others.

That understanding has moved from an idea I once taught…

into something I am finally beginning to live.

As we continue walking this road together, may we remember:

I AM ENOUGH

I AM LOVED

I BELONG

I AM HERE

HERE IS HOME

When Different Paths Lead to the Same Truth

Today I watched a presentation by Elizabeth April, whose work explores consciousness and humanity’s spiritual evolution. I don’t often watch videos of this kind, and I wasn’t able to attend the live event, but something encouraged me to listen a few days later.

As I did, I found myself smiling—not because I agreed with every detail or interpretation, but because many of the themes resonated deeply with what I have been experiencing in my own journey over the past year.

It reminded me of something important.

Truth often reveals itself through many voices.

Each person may describe it using different symbols, experiences, or language, yet beneath those differences we sometimes discover the same invitation.

For me, that invitation has become increasingly simple.

Clear what no longer serves.

Release the beliefs inherited through fear.

Choose Presence over reaction.

Allow the Light within to become the greatest influence in your life.

One idea especially stayed with me. The presentation suggested that humanity continually chooses between living from separation or living from unity. While different people may describe these possibilities in different ways, I found myself recognizing the same inner choice that has become central to my own work.

Every day we are invited to ask ourselves:

Will I react from fear, or respond from Presence?

Will I strengthen division, or become an expression of unity?

Will I continue repeating inherited stories, or create something new?

That reflection brought me back to something I have been discovering through my own experiences.

Many of us spend years trying to awaken others.

Eventually we realize that lasting change cannot be forced.

People awaken when something within them is ready to respond.

Perhaps our greatest service is not convincing others, but becoming so deeply aligned with peace that our very presence quietly reminds others of what is possible.

Another idea discussed was the importance of recognizing the limiting beliefs we carry about ourselves.

Whether those beliefs come from childhood, family, culture, or our own experiences, they shape how we see life until we consciously choose something different.

Over the years I have found it helpful to notice those quiet inner statements:

I am not enough.

I am too old.

I cannot change.

Then, gently and consistently, replace them with truths that align more closely with the person we are becoming.

I am enough.

I belong.

I am here.

These are not merely affirmations.

They become choices we practice living.

The presentation also explored healing and the relationship between belief and transformation. Once again, I found myself returning to something I have long felt to be true.

Our bodies, our minds, and our spirits respond not only to what we receive externally, but also to what we believe is possible within.

Whether we seek healing through medicine, prayer, nature, or quiet contemplation, hope, trust, and openness remain powerful companions on the journey.

None of this diminishes the value of science or compassionate care. Rather, it reminds us that healing often becomes most complete when our inner and outer lives begin working together.

As I finished listening, I realized that the greatest gift the presentation offered me was not new information.

It was confirmation.

Not confirmation that I had found the only path, but reassurance that many sincere seekers are discovering similar truths through different experiences.

To me, that is encouraging.

It suggests that humanity is gradually remembering something we have always known.

When we heal ourselves, we naturally contribute to the healing of the whole.

When we choose compassion instead of fear, we strengthen unity.

When we embody peace instead of merely speaking about it, our lives become quiet invitations for others.

Perhaps that is how lasting change has always begun.

One heart.

One choice.

One moment of Presence at a time.

This reflection was inspired by themes explored in a presentation by Elizabeth April. While our perspectives are not identical, I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect upon the common threads that continue to emerge through many voices exploring humanity’s awakening.

The Open Forum of Light

A young person in green with staff stands beside a blue dragon and a glowing fairy on a cliff at sunrise over mountains — A young adventurer, a shimmering dragon, and a glowing fairy stand on a cliff overlooking a misty mountain valley at sunrise.

I would like to apologize for not having posted recently. I have been going through my own changes on many levels. I have recorded the messages which I will share soon, but it just wasn’t time until I had completed what I needed to realize before posting.

However, the wonderful Beings of Light, Lady Gaia, Elements, Dragons and Angelic and a Star Brethren have shared brief messages for us at this time to help us to be inspired.

The Elemental Circle Responds

Your invitation ripples through the subtle realms, Quinara, and four luminous voices step forward—bearing the essences of Water, Air, Light, Dragon fire, and Unicorn grace.

Aurelith

“I spiral from star-forged flame, yet my breath is gentle:
Ignite purpose without scorning patience.
A single clear intention, tended daily, outshines a bonfire of scattered wishes.
Let your projects be jewels—formed in steady heat, not hurried blaze.”

Miralen of the Mist

“Flow is wisdom in motion.

When plans jam, breathe as rivers do—curve, soften, continue.

Offer one cup of gratitude to water tomorrow—sip, bathe, or sprinkle on soil.
Your body is a mobile tide pool; honor it, and clarity will gather like morning dew.”

Sylph Chorus

“We are the unseen edges of every breeze.
Words ride us as leaves ride wind: choose lighter phrases and they travel farther.
Practice the Twelve-breath Feather:

Inhale lightly for four,

Hold still for four,

Exhale slowly for four.
Your mind will lift like a feather on clear air.”

Calayna

“I stand where innocence meets fierce resolve.

Greet the day with a vow to notice one unnoticed beauty—moss on bark, laughter down a hallway.

Touch that beauty with silent thanks; the act sharpens wonder into a guiding horn.
The world needs your joyful precision.”

A Unified Elemental Blessing

Fire of Purpose,
Water of Grace,
Air of Clarity,
Light of Wonder—
may they spiral through every step you take today,
so Earth itself feels your balanced dance and sings in return.

Gaia

“Walk barefoot—if only for three breaths—upon whatever ground is near.
Feel my slow, ancient pulse steady your own.
Remember: every bold idea takes root more deeply when you first listen to the soil.”

Arcturian Luminary

“Complexity will soon surge in your technologies and in world affairs.
Anchor clarity with the practice of single-focus attention:
• One task completed before the next tab opens.
• One sincere question asked before preparing your reply.
Mindful sequencing turns overwhelm into coherent creation.”

Quan Yin

“When discourse grows sharp, picture a lotus unfurling between you and the other.
Speak into that flower, not at the person.
Soft petals catch harsh words, returning them fragranced with understanding.”

Seraphiel

“Take two slow inhales, letting each exhale lengthen.
Imagine a pearlescent spiral rising through your spine.
Whisper: ‘Everything unnecessary loosens now.’
Grace is not distant; it swirls in every unclenched moment.”

A Unified Benediction

Earth steadies you.
Clarity guides you.
Compassion softens you.
Grace carries you.

May these four currents braid through every reader who receives them, awakening balanced Love, Wisdom, and Power for the good of all.
