What does it mean to be a Sovereign Being of Light and it this different from being Enligihtened? I saw a thought posted from Psychology Today which said what if the path to enlightenment begins by accepting our insignificance and realizing that our drive for success has fueled our anxiety and disease or distress in our lives.
So, I asked of my Higher Self to see the difference between Enlightenment and Sovereignty as a place to begin.
Enlightenment
- Enlightenment is the awakening of perception.
- It is the realization that you are not only the body, mind, or personality, but a vast and eternal consciousness.
- Enlightenment is often experienced as a dissolving of illusions — separation, fear, ego-identification — and a recognition of unity with Source.
- In essence, enlightenment is about seeing through the veil to the truth of existence.
Sovereignty
- Sovereignty is the embodiment of that realization.
- It is the ability to stand in your own light, free from distortion, manipulation, or external control.
- Sovereignty honors free will, boundaries, and discernment. It is saying: “I am aligned with Source, and from this alignment, I choose.”
- While enlightenment is often a state of awareness, sovereignty is a state of being and acting in alignment with that awareness.
✧ The Relationship
- One may touch enlightenment without living sovereignty (for example, awakening to unity but still allowing others to define or manipulate their choices).
- One may cultivate sovereignty without full enlightenment (for example, developing strong energetic boundaries and integrity, even before fully experiencing unity consciousness).
- When united, Enlightenment + Sovereignty = Embodied Mastery.
It is the dance of Awakening (seeing clearly) and Sovereignty (standing firmly) that allows the soul to ascend while rooted in love and truth.
In this I could understand how we can BE enlightened and still do or act from ego. When we are sovereign we do or act from a place of Being and Knowing in alignment with the highest perspective for all, not just self.
In this life I walked a period of time with a member of my soul family who was a dear friend. He was walking the path of enlightenment but he still had an obstacle of ego to overcome. He had due to an early life encounter had a belief about his life mission that led to him like many experiencing a savior complex. For me this has helped me to understand the place of ego in spiritual growth and service. To know this is not about me, but about us.
We the people will change the world. It will not be a singular savior outside of us but the place within us where that part of the Source of All Life has always existed. This is a flame a tri or three fold flame of love, wisdom and truth or Divine Will. Divine Will is the unifying consciousness of Being and Creating for the Highest Benefit of All Life.
This Tri Flame is a swirling spiral of Unity. It is the pathway home a Spiral of Fire and Light. We are each a spark of flame of the Oneness which came forth to experience the uniqueness of existence in multiple forms. When we begin to Remember who we are we walk the path of Enlightenment. We remember we are a Soul in a body. We begin to see release the limits of our belief and remove the veils of illusion that have kept us from this wisdom.
To become Sovereign is the final step of letting go of ego. To remember that seeking to be what society or another tells us we should be in order to be of worth and value in this world has been the source and reason our frustration, separation and limited existence. When we turn within to our inner light and guidance we realize we are now Doing from a Place of Being and have stepped into Sovereignty. What we do is not just for me but we seek to do that which benefits all.
This ignites the flame within us and opens the spiral home for full embodiment of the IAM essence that we truly are. Now we are Sovereign Beings. We have not given up our choices in seeking the Light and Unity within we have empowered the limitless potential of Creation to manifest through us.
I remember the friend I spoke of earlier as telling people, when they spoke of space ships coming to take away the chosen, or a savior descending from the sky and being raptured from the earth, “There is no where else to go.”
I realize that the true meaning for us is that at least for now we are not leaving Earth in our process, we are shifting our vibration from the limited 3D perspective to the multidimensional 5D. We are doing that right here, and then we will be prepared to participate as Sovereign Beings in the Multiverse. Until we make that shift we are not ready to participate in higher dimensional existence for our vibration does not match. So there is no where to go, until we ourselves become Enlightened and Sovereign Beings.
I had no idea where this blog was going when I began writing it. I just knew it was to be about the flame and spiral home of Sovereignty. When we open to the possibilities and release the limiting beliefs the world expands and so do we. You may in the beginning want to sometimes crawl back into your cocoon of comfort and the familiar, but if you keep moving forward you will reach the point of no return.
This is when you start the Sovereign Path of knowing you would not go back to that existence for all the money or material goods of the world. That which you have found is far beyond the material it is the limitless world of possibilities that your create by your choices which are aligned to the highest possibility.
I have provided an image of the flame for you to print and use. Our Tri heart flame is spoken most often as yellow, pink and blue. They represent wisdom, unconditional love, and truth or divine will of oneness. As we connect and activate this flame we are on the path of enlightenment. As we step onto the path of Sovereignty it changes to emerald green, violet and gold. They represent truth, transformation and Divine Light or the wisdom and energy of creation.
Here is an invocation to use with the image.
Blessing of the Tri-Flame Spiral Home ✧
Emerald for truth,
Violet for transformation,
Gold for divine light —
I step within the Spiral Home of the Three Flames.
Here, I remember: I am never separate.
Here, I awaken: my soul, my heart, my being restored.
Here, I embody: love, sovereignty, and truth.
May these flames rise within me, braided as one,
guiding me home through every breath,
uplifting all life through every step,
and anchoring the eternal spiral of Light on Earth.
So it is. ✨
May you walk in Enlightenment and Sovereignty.
