The Inside Job

As astrologer Molly McCord titled her recent video, the new moon on 11/13/23 is indeed full of “Volatile Changes, Shake-Ups”, with an opportunity, to “Move Forward With A Deeper Sense of Power”. But accessing one’s internal power means removing the debris field that’s stands between you and your relationship with self.

Deal breakers in relationships also includes putting the brakes on listening to “unconditional crap” we tell ourselves on a regular basis. Through a program I’m studying we are learning to backtrack to their roots any trigger emotions felt from things people say or do in current time. Roots often embedded in childhood experiences, ways we’ve hurt others, things people said and did to us, and situations we misunderstood. Now when I see the mainstream headlines, and hear how people talk about the world (and themselves) it’s abundantly clear we have a lot of internal housekeeping to do, in the name of self-love.

Our personal and world problems aren’t caused by some ‘other’ person(s)…. they are rooted in disempowerment from within. Feeling disempowered is rooted in fear… fear of not being loved, of losing one’s sense of purpose, of losing all one has acquired, even fear of complete annihilation, all of which equates to facing death in some form or other.

I used to equate death with failure – whether it was actual physical death, death of a relationship etc, and in my ignorance thought if I just tried hard enough and gave of myself endlessly, everything would get better, because I also equated suffering with failure. Ultimately though, death and suffering are not signs of failure, they’re just part of life on Earth; it’s the perception that matters. If all you perceive is a world suffering more than you can see beauty, perfection, and life in an ever-evolving state, then the person who needs the most help is you.

The more each of us takes the deep dive to clean internal closets and retrieve treasures long forgotten, the more our ripple effect calms, benefits and maybe inspires others who we interact with to begin their own inner journey. That’s really all one can do, and that’s totally ok. Feeling a need to constantly rescue others from suffering and potential death is a false program. It’s fine to assist if they ask for help, but people should not be denied their right to experience suffering. Trust them to have the strength of deep diving, of finding their own internal gifts. If they literally die from trying to make it in this world, no need to judge. A lot of hidden, global suffering is rising at this time, and will continue to rise, as part of our species’ evolutionary process. It can be overwhelming at times to see the extent of suffering that has been going on. Step back, recharge your batteries, honestly assess what can and cannot be handled, ask others to assist when you don’t know what to do, and learn to help only to the extent that it doesn’t continually deplete your inner resources. That is how, slowly but surely, a world is healed.

While on the topic of shadow work and loving lost parts of our self, let us not forget there also exists inner light. That Light is the radiant, infinite, ever loving truth of one’s soul, the greater part of you that keeps your heart beating, your lungs breathing, the earth spinning, the galaxy turning. It is the ultimate perfection of All that dances the sun to rise, the tides to turn, and prevents all of Creation from from crashing into itself and disappearing into oblivion. That, too, lives within every cell. Morning and evening, take a moment to say thank you, give yourself a big hug, and be in awe of the fact that you and all of this amazingness even exists !
