You have always done the best you could with what you knew. You know now what you know now due to the fact that you DIDNT know then. You went through what you went through and now you know. This does not mean that you should have known better back then and done differently. There is no reason to regret any part of your journey. Let what you have been through simply be a teacher for you. You have learned from your experiences. It is time to let go of the if only's and the guilt. You always did the best you could with what you knew. Now you know more, and tomorrow you will know even more. But you have never been 'wrong' - just on a path of learning.

Everything you have ever been, done or said, has been born of your innocence. All your worst behaviour, your worst thoughts, everything you have ever regretted or pointed at as being your 'flaws' - was really just your pure innocent nature. It was all your pure, innocent nature believing in the idea that it could be separated out from love. That's it. When your innocence believes in this separation, it will behave fearfully. This is the source of all pain and all suffering. There is nothing dark, evil or bad about you. Even if you behave darkly. Think darkly. Feel darkly. It is just your pure innocence believing something that could never be true. You have always been and always will be totally and completely loved. When you remember that, you will have no part of you to see as darkness, because it will all have returned to its true nature. Your innocence.

Your spiritual practices are for you. There to remind you of who you truly are. They are meant to fortify you. Fill you. Support you. Don't let them turn into self improvement. When you let your spiritual practices be fortification, rest, centring and calming, you will find you naturally turn around and behave as the person you want to be in your life. No improvement needed.

You are not what you eat. What you look like. What you wear. You are not where you studied, how you earn money or the amount of money you make. You are not your social group. You are an ever evolving fractal in the ocean of consciousness. And at the same time you are the ocean of consciousness itself. You were never meant to fit neatly into any box. Not for long anyway. Any hard and fast identification is going to hurt at some point. So let yourself be all that you are. Not 100% anything except for whatever it is you happen to be right now. Then let that change. You will never fit neatly into a box. Life gets a lot nicer when you accept that.

Where ever you are on your journey - it is possible to be in love with yourself. It is possible to love you when you are sick. It is possible to love you when you are well. It is possible to love you when you are depressed, anxious, doubting everything, fearful. It is possible to love you when you are happy, light and confident. It is possible to love you when you have no idea what you are doing or what direction you are headed in. It is possible to love you when you feel a thousand percent sure of your life path. There is no reason to ever be ashamed of where you are on your particular life path. Where you are on the journey has no affect on your worthiness. You are worthy always. Journeying always. At a new place always. Love you in all your nows.

Remember, it is ultimately a privilege to live in a reality where pursuing spiritual enlightenment is an accessible option. There are many in the world who have to struggle and put forth immense effort to find truth - whether that be because of extremist governments, lack of human rights, lack of basic resources or other circumstances. There is a huge big world out there where people live in very different conditions from the ones you enjoy. So if you have the means by which to live comfortably and you know in your heart that as you awaken you not only make our own life better, but you expand your capacity to make the world better for others, be grateful for your spiritual path. Do not let it become a burden or a chore or something you use to measure your worthiness with. Use it as another thing to remind you that you are free, blessed and abundant. Then go spread that shit everywhere. Take what you are learning and give it away. Be generous. Be kind. Ask how you can alleviate suffering and pursue that. This world needs more awake invidious who see their privilege and then work to make their privilege a reality for all.

Your thoughts, for the most part, are not reflecting ultimate truth back to you, but rather what you perceive to be truth in this moment. Your thoughts are there to develop patterns, so that you can easily operate in YOUR established truth, and then to continue to build on that reality. When fully aligned with ultimate truth, your thoughts help you live in a state of learning and growth and expansion, while carrying out necessary functions of life. When aligned with something other than ultimate truth, your thoughts will repetitively reflect monsters (that don't truly exist) back to you, in order to give you an opportunity to see your belief systems, and change them if they are painful. Your thoughts are not truth. Just reflections of what you believe in this moment. Which means if your thoughts cause you pain, they can be changed. Your world can be viewed through eyes. You just have want to see things anew. You simply have to allow for the idea that your thoughts are not 'truth' but simply a reflection of what you believe right now. The process will unfold from there. Xoxo

When you finally learn to fully love and accept the deepest expressions of your humanity (your pain, anger, fear, and all the other 'ugly' bits about you) with no effort to fix, change or alter what you see - then and only then will you have the capacity to live as your highest divinity. For your deepest humanity IS your highest divinity. The is no separation. So, while you fight your humanity, know that you also fight your divinity. It can be no other way. Unity consciousness is radical, yo.

Your circumstances are simply giving you an opportunity to fully EXPERIENCE what you are already feeling. They are not making you feel anything. You already felt how you felt - about yourself and about life - and you are projecting those feelings onto your circumstances. Your circumstances are what they are for the most part. Your experience of your circumstances is all in your control. You choose how you are going to feel. That is your biggest act of free will. Sometimes this taking of responsibility for your own emotions does lead to action in the way of changing your circumstances. Do not misunderstand me and think I am telling you to be ever passive in your life. Just move from knowing it's all a reflection. Change the inner landscape, and if that directs outward shifts, do so. Take your power back fully, by stepping into self awareness first. Then move.

You are already That. You are already your highest self. You are already the awareness. You are already divine. It is so and nothing can make it not so. So, relax. Let yourself be human. Have this experience. Be in this. Engage in the messy, dark, crazy, fun, exciting, dramatic, all over the walls thing called life. Remember that you are not this ultimately, but for now it's what you are doing/experiencing/witnessing. It's not going to get on you, I promise. Relax and do this.

Remember, there is a big difference between only doing the easy stuff and shying away from anything that challenges you, and doing the challenging things with an internal attitude of ease. Life is not about avoiding the challenges. It is not about only doing what is 'easy' and running from things that are here to teach you something new about your capacity for greatness. The trick is in how you approach the stuff on your path to remembering who you are. The trick is to relax into the hard stuff. To change how you approach your growing opportunities. To go in with gentleness, curiosity and lots of compassion for yourself and others. As my girl @tarastiles would say - do the hard stuff with ease. Learn, grow and expand. Embrace the challenges and let life show you your power - but with a sense of gentleness and fun. Ya see? It's all in how you perceive it.

Remember, in the beginning stages of transformation, what life is going to look like is total destruction. Usually. Meaning foundations getting ripped out. Identities being broken. Relationships ending. Losing jobs. Maybe even feeling listless, anxious, unmotivated, and really unclear. This is all totally normal. The old has to be brought up and released before the new is built. Learn to be with the discomfort, to not move so much, to feel what you feel without trying to fix yourself. Because you are not broken. You are being born anew. And if you are lucky, this will happen to you many, many times. It all falls apart before it comes together. You can trust the process. Promise.

If you want to learn how to move from a place of love rather than from place of fear - aka. If you want to move towards what is wanted rather than always moving away from what is unwanted - then learning to be still is a non- negotiable. For most, the initial knee jerk reaction you have to life is one founded in fear. This is mostly due to the fact that we as a society are afraid of the present moment, because we ultimately do not trust that life is on our side. We fear that things went wrong and could go wrong again, so we are in a continual state of trying to escape. When you learn to find stillness first, then react, you will have to be present to be with those fear thoughts and painful emotions that drive you to run. You will learn to find ease in them. You will learn to love yourself inside of them. Then true inspiration is possible. Then you access the greater part of you that is love. That moves towards what is expansion and love for you. Don't let past traumas be how you decide what you are going to do next. Find stillness and love the scared part of you first, then move.

All you really want, is to know that you are going to keep loving you no matter what. Can you make yourself that promise, and feel the relief in it?

May you be blessed with knowing your light. May you be blessed with knowing your light is fully indestructible. May you be blessed with seeing that you have always been perfection. May you be blessed with knowing you have always been right to trust yourself. May you be blessed with the realization that your heart is and always was pure. May you be blessed with never wanting to fix yourself again. You are the light in its perfect fractal.

Sometimes the healing journey is just messy. It is just sad. Heavy. Lonely. Dark. This does not mean you have done something wrong, or should be scurrying to find a new modality or method or healer or teacher. Sometimes, you are on the path, and this is just what the path looks like at this juncture. So instead of running off to somewhere new or questioning your path, why not just love the part of you that is aching for love right now? Love the part of you that is sad, heavy, lonely, dark, shamed, guilt ridden. Love it like a mother unconditionally loves a child. Love you like you've never been loved before. Like there is nothing to fix and simply everything to allow to flow through. Remember, just because you are not 'healed' yet, doesn't mean what you are doing is wrong. So be still and love you. That's it. You'll know when it's time to make a shift.

When you first begin to live with an open heart it can seem scary and threatening. Like you are going to get the emotional shit kicked out of you by a harsh world. This is a normal reaction, and the reason most of us keep our hearts closed to some degree. We believe this helps separate us from the harsh realities of life. But the truth is, when you boldly step into living with you heart wide open, the harsh world around you ceases to be so. Instead, what you find is more peace. More love. More joy. More rest. And the harshness that remains, causes deep compassion. Deep communion. Deep understanding and connection. It is the closed heart that experiences this world as pain, and pain that is wrong. An open heart can feel the underlying joy in all things, and the willingness to connect with all of it, because it perceives no threat. The closed heart is what creates the idea of threat that it must then contend with. The open heart knows no threat to itself.
