"Burning Darkness"
Nicholas Roerich - the Mystic Artist of Shambala
There comes a time when our Soul enters a Dark Night. A whale swallows the Hero. Persephone goes down to Hades. Anona goes to the Great Below. The Hero's Journey begins. It is a time of Great Uncertainty. We have but enough of everything [if that] to make the next step - and even that one has to be made on Faith sometimes.
In this time it is all too easy to query "Why Me?" To wallow in self-pity even. It is a time when the Universe seems to conspire to bring us down. It is easy to feel victimized in this time. Yet, that is not the only choice. In the Vedic tradition, this would be the dance of Kali.
The wrathful Black Mother burns the old egoic structures. She levels the identity until we burn to the ground, leaving a blank slate.
We learn to see, hear and speak anew. Like a newborn. Which, in fact, we become through this purrrfect purrrification. Did anyone say Purrrr? Well, meau then >^o^<
A newborn is vulnerable by nature. And that is what we learn to be. The more trusting and vulnerable we allow ourselves to be and the more we LET GO, the more the Universe around us shows up to support and nourish us out of this Dark time. It lifts and floats us. The more we resist, the deeper we get lost in the woods. Hedgehog in the Fog, anyone? It is a masterpiece of Russian cinema - a 10 minute Zen experience of Letting Go.
Come visit the Hedgehog:
When our Dark Night began with a crisis in our relationship and health simultaneously, and our closest brother signaled the same, I began to realize - this might be a Kali experience of the whole Light Tribe. A Collective Dark Night of the Soul. And so it seems to be - the closest Light beings around us are all going through their own experience of the Dark Night.
Many of us know - there is a powerful DIMENSIONAL SHIFT and SPLIT happening now. The System currently in power is in active motion to sabotage the strongest Light. Strong interference patterns are being sent out - they can infiltrate the body and cause serious disturbance [if you suspect you might not be alone in your body - yes, there be dragons. Many have been sent out for the task of interfering with Light. Seek council of Light Workers who can escort these creatures out. I am talking arts like "Holographic Kinetics" and no-nonsense Shamanic Work. Stay tuned].
In these woods, it is too easy to isolate ourselves for the fear of bringing our Darkness to others. Especially - with those of us used to shining, bringing more light. And yet - is that what we do when lost in the forest? NO! We walk towards the light, and if we have any - we share it with others in the Darkness.
THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHOENIX PORTAL. The intention is to bring the Tribe going through the Dark Night TOGETHER. For together - we are stronger. And it is easier to keep our fire glowing bright and remember that WE WILL COME THROUGH THIS. More powerful, deeper, with infinitely more Humility and Grace.
Seeing the Light helps us SEE OURSELVES AS AN EMPOWERED SOURCE AND LEAVE THE VICTIM SPACE. We hold Light for each other.
From this Source Space, we can begin to CONSCIOUSLY DANCE OUR WAY OUT OF THE DARK FOREST. CREATION BEGINS WITH AN INTENTION AND EMANATES INTO THE FIELD THROUGH HEART DECLARATION OF IT AS IF IT IS ALREADY SO.
Even a small spark can ignite the fire. Let us support and nourish each other in this Night, and we will meet the most glorious Sunrise yet. The Night is coldest before the Dawn. And THE DAWN IS COMING!
AUM
THE DARKNESS TRANSMUTES IN THE PRESENCE OF LIGHT
