Embracing the True Fire Within
Becoming a spiritual warrior is a profile in courage, which means heart. Spirit asks, "Do you have the conviction to stand by your heart? Are you willing to transmute war in the alchemical fire?" The fire within is the perfect peace of God/Goddess/Creator/Innate Intelligence, which expresses outwardly as enthusiasm (from the Greek, "possessed by God"), inwardly as a calm awareness.
We've mastered communicating from our wounds. Now we're in a pivotal age, creating a context in which it's safe to share who we are in love, in truth, in well-being. Our collective task is to marry scared with sacred, density with destiny, jaded with jubilant; to become inclusive rather than exclusive. Because none of us is truly free until all of us are.
This is one of the meta gifts of these disasters (which means, "against the stars"): they bring us face to face with The Other, in our psyches and in the world, so we can see how they're one and the same. All anyone can do is introduce you to yourself. As you look into the mirror of your brother's or sister's face, be kind to your own confusion, criticism, sadness, or fear. Acknowledging your strand in the evolutionary web is, in itself, a giant step on the path to peace.
It's time for each of us to create a personal crucible: a safe container for our energies. Envision your inner chalice. Then place this cup, brimming with fiery potential and the waters of life, into your heart, where it will become a perpetual font of inspiration and renewal -- and, in time, of unconditional love.
As the Maya say, In Lakech: I am another yourself.
