To Fear the Dark is to Fear the Sacred Feminine

You are an infinite being, profoundly beautiful, with the wisdom of a million sunsets.

The cycles that see all and embrace all with gratitude and knowing.

You are the truth that exists in the bright summer day and the chill of the night, all essential in the eyes of Nature.

Every space leaving tracks to follow, the recognizable imprints of a life fully lived in wholeness.

Some shallow, some deep, some muddied and unclear.

Some parched and arid as a desolate desert, but all mirrors of wisdom and understanding offered from Spirit.

The spice of life and the ingredients for transformation.

The alchemy of life happens in the in-between spaces, and the trust in not knowing.

In these empty voids is where we find our own wisdom and understanding.

The personal power of forgiveness, the courage to face our fears, the frailty of our humanness, the transforming power of rage, and the resolution to re-commit to ourselves and our own lives.

The commitment to freedom, to authenticity, and to love that transcends shallow cultural expectations; a fierce love that sees deep truths and dissolves the ego’s illusions.

The truth that sees through the veil of fear to what truly is in the moment.

The void of transformation crafts a whole-hearted destruction, a demolition of all that was to create the new.

A necessary unraveling of constructed un-truths.

The precious gems of our soul revealed only in the shadows of death and rebirth.

An unexpected shredding of the veils of our own denials and fears of the truth.

To live only in “love and light” is the essence of illusion, a betrayal of the necessity of divine darkness, and also the global rejection of the sacred feminine.

To fear the dark is to fear the sacred feminine, for SHE is the constant of change and transformation.

SHE is the unknown beauty of what is revealed in the shadows.

To refuse to see the gift of darkness is to refuse to see our own wholeness; it is a rejection of Nature herself.

Fear begins to look ordinary when we face our own darkness and discover the extraordinary.

We spend lifetimes looking externally for that which can only be found in discovering the infinite that resides internally.

Embodiment and integration of experience, emotion, and feeling brings forth a pulsing inner vibration of love sourced straight from Creation; the complete faith that we are never alone.

A certain comfort comes from an undeniable knowing that we are connected to a Great Mystery, and that we ARE also the Great Mystery.

The erotic dance of ancient magic tickles our fingertips as we are transported to the wonder and awe of infinite potential.

The magical re-discovering that we are not inherently flawed, nor do we need saving.

We are the chaotic perfection of Creation herself, intimately connected to ALL.

A wickedly beautiful rhythm that beats to a different drum, the heartbeat of the Universe, and the Mother Earth herself.

Expansive liberation overflows when we see that we have always been free, we just didn’t see it.

A courageous rejection of our attachments and conditioning for suffering, an end to self-punishment, and the beginning of the return to innocence.

Continually shedding each moment as it passes, a return to the newness and awe in each present moment experience, each cycle and season, and the wholeness and beauty of a sacred life.

And so it is.
