The ancestors have spoken throughout the centuries. I can still hear their melodic voices in the ethers just as clearly as I can hear the whispers of the mountains, trees, waters, the sun, moon and the stars. The philosophies of the wise men and women aren’t changing. It is we who are changing. The philosophies born eons ago are as true today as they were then. Our interpretations are shifting, as well as our understanding of the world synchronistically on many levels. To the spirit world, we have been in this intense time of purification. For those of us trying to navigate in this world, the past year has been chaotic to say the least. What I have witnessed most is a great paradigm shift when it comes to relationship as a whole. Familial dynamics have bore the brunt of these changes as well as how we relate to ourselves. Expand that out into the world and many of us don’t seem to recognize ourselves anymore. I listen often; to family, friends, clients, the earth and myself. A state of confusion has permeated our thought field because what we are experiencing is such a rapid disintegration of an old existence and comprehension of life into a new one that we can hardly make sense of. Our spiritual, psychological and physical structures don’t carry the same weight as they used to in carrying us through to the next moment. It is creating as much fear as it is confusion. The confusion renders many people helpless and overwhelmed. When one does not recognize who they are in any given moment, they destabilize and don’t know how to integrate and incorporate any new internal or external structure. How can we? And what about the tools to do so? The ancient wisdom will serve its purpose irregardless of our cooperation. I don’t care which tradition it flows from. I do care what each of us does with that knowledge. As we enter into 2018, I still see the ebb and flow where confusion meets stillness. I want to ask all of us to be open to a continually evolving structure on many levels. Let go of what we think it might look like. Yes, it can be very scary to be in the midst of all these changes when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Yes, you possibly won’t recognize yourself for a long while, maybe bits and pieces here and there. Yes, you also may not recognize those closest to you. You may even lose sight of your purpose. What was once familiar may be completely unrecognizable. You might be really afraid to let go. And there will be many times when we are not even sure what to let go of or the direction we are to head in. I think the confusion can serve us if we take the time to let go of all preconceived notions of who we presently are, who we think we should be and who we want to become. I do believe that some part of our soul already knows the person we are capable of transforming into. The relationships we will enter into, or the new patterns we will enter into with existing relationships, are already waiting for us. This a new period of co-creation. I like to think of it as coming home. I get the fear. I am with you. We are all with you. We are all coming home to ourselves, to each other, and to a natural world that awaits the respect it deserves.
