What is not often shared about the Spiritual Path is it’s challenges, mysteries, initiations and complexities, as if when in service to this Path, things get to be easy, in flow and manifested to our liking…
The truth is:
This reality is….complex.
This world is…Maya.
Our body is…a universe.
If we truly understood the profundity of these statements as a society, our world would be a different place.
But here we are, just here trying to navigate it all the best we can with all we do not know.
I remember writing in I AM LEMURIA about the concept that we’ve incarnated in human bodies with the capability of a Ferrari and with no keys to operate it.
This human experience is anything but easy and digestible. So much of spiritual marketing is about ‘giving you THE answer’ and healing all of your traumas and fears with just a few simple techniques, as if these things could make life easier. Then I get women knocking at my door asking what they’ve been doing wrong and why their path is showing bumps in the road.
I think the greatest complexity I’ve had to digest is that there is no reward for walking a ‘spiritual path’. There is no ‘easy path’ and ‘easy answer’ if you’re truly devoted to making this your life. There is only more awareness, more responsibility and bigger bumps to handle. And I’m not complaining. I’m not here trying to reenact my 5-year old life or pretend that a life without responsibility is a life of freedom. I think there is big lie being fed at this time, disguising simple solutions and child-like consciousness as spiritual and evolved and we must catch it before it’s too late.
Months leading up to this fall, I had been preparing to launch the initial stages of the Priestess Path within the Temple. I had this beautiful layout of how everything would be presented and how we could orchestrate this divine unveiling of the path that has reshaped my definition of what it means to be a conscious woman during this time of Great Transition.
And just as it’s always been on this path…..BAM!
….I was knocked sideways and off my clean cut, mentally curated path. The Feminine Path did what she is best at doing. Slid the rug right underneath my feet and reminded me that nothing which is orchestrated is real.
As we were getting closer to the unveiling which I had been waiting for years to experience, Grief swept right on in and sat me on the chair of Complexity.
What will you do about your pretty little launch if something life-changing happens? Will you stick to the plan you’ve mentally orchestrated or allow the experience to fully merge with you?
And just like that, my father who had been ill for years, passed.
Everything was stripped off the table and the shiny presentation I was ready to release quickly came to a jolting stop. Grief came right on in to remind me of the Complexity of this path. That even when you’ve spent years receiving and developing something, it doesn’t get to be straight forward nor does it get to be easy.
Grief has been a part of my path since awakening to my Lemurian lifetime. Years were spent learning how to navigate and integrate the grief of having to leave cosmic consciousness to fit into a human 3D body. Today, I honor grief as a long-standing part of the Priestess Path, knowing that without it, life somehow feels detached and orchestrated. As if we’re willing to swim in the ocean but never experience a deep-dive into it’s dark and unknown waters.
Grief has a way of slowing you down and getting you very close to another dimension. It’s like a portal that opens within your heart and there’s no knowing where it leads. Sometimes that portal can be open for 5 minutes. Sometimes, it can stay open for years. There’s no control of it and there’s no ‘quick fix’. In fact, there’s no fix at all.
In a way, it makes you more alive to the pain of our human experience and the magnitude of the ocean that lives within us. It breaks apart the façade between our physical human reality and that other reality which we all know exists yet conveniently choose to forget. That reality where everything is known and the Maya fails to exist.
So in this last moon cycle I’ve been quiet. I have been receiving. I have been navigating the depths of this path and how it consistently asks me to not ‘fly too high’ or ‘show something that covers the complexity and reality of the Path I’ve been asked to walk’. And I think that’s because for so many years I looked up to others who seemed to have it all figured out or only showed up to teach the ‘High Teachings’ of this Path, never really sharing what it takes to navigate it or truly land those Teachings in their body.
What is real is what we live, one moment at a time. And in a world where social media and glitz and glamour make the front page of every newsfeed I was reminded before launching The Priestess Path that this is not about glitz and glamour. This is not about positivity or manifesting all that you want just because you want it.
This path is not for women seeking pretty affirmations to make sense of life’s complexities.
This path is for women who realize that when little red riding hood goes out into the forest, she must indeed face the wolf. When Belle leaves her little comfortable village, she must encounter danger and believe in the inconceivable.
And this is the reality we must be willing to face if we dare so choose to open the door to Life’s Great Mysteries.
You see, the Feminine Path is full of Magic, yes. It’s full of bliss, cosmic union, sensuality, nourishment and divine orchestration that will leave you wondering who’s really pulling the strings back there.
And…..There’s always an AND isn’t there?
It’s also full of depth, grief, trial, initiation, duality, mystery, confusion, fear, upset, failure, mistakes, heartbreak.
And that’s the part that’s really not marketable. It’s not exciting and it’s not sell-worthy.
The magnitude of what we’re asked to hold will leave you feeling enamored, flabbergasted and terrified all at once. How could something so incredibly amazing, be so fragile, deep and mind-blowing? Tis is life. Tis is the Priestess Path.
Like Ra of Human Design liked to say: I don’t train sheep, I train wolves.
I guess I would say my version of that is that this Temple is not for the goldfish in the sea, it’s for the Mermaid-Dragons. The kind of Mermaid-Dragons that desire to swim to the depths of the oceans where there is no light or oxygen to hold them in comfort, while flying to the heights of the cosmos and integrating the highest celestial frequencies amidst the chaos of our world.
