Happy Sunday Lightworkers!
\nI\u2019ve been on this path this year and it has made me quiet; I recognize that it is like the other paths I have taken during my spiritual journey \u2013 it is guided.
\nI\u2019ve spent most of the year wondering why I am so driven down this path that has been dark and scary at times. As I write I am reminded about my earlier metaphor that described my spiritual journey as a climb around the sides of Mt Truth. In this older post<\/a>, I told about how I have chosen to take the easy path of rising slowing as I walk around the mountain, ever climbing, and finding new truths as I make my way around the next edifice into a new camp of faith.
\nI also sense that I will be able to write about this years\u2019 experience under the structure of Joseph Campbell\u2019s \u2018hero\u2019s journey\u2019. So let\u2019s start.
\nI have journeyed way down the rabbit hole this year to observe many dark places in this earthly human creation. From my interest in reading daily the spiritual channelings of angels, masters, and galactic beings I made my way into learning of ancient civilizations, secret space programs and I began following alternative news sources.<\/p>\n

The Gifts<\/strong><\/h6>\n

It seems this part of the journey has led me into a tunnel in the mountain and there have been many times when I have wondered if I am still climbing toward the mountain top. In the dark there has been little to make reference to that confirms that I am going the right way. And it has been lonely. Looking back I can see that there have been gifts from my guides, angels, as well as the wise ones I have encountered.
\nThe first gift I recognize is right there on day one. It began 2017 on New Year\u2019s Day sitting in my office as I reflected on the year ahead. The word \u2018discernment\u2019 entered my mind. I knew this was to be my resolution for the year. It\u2019s a very strange word for me, not one that has been part of my conscious mind before. Such a wonderful gift it has been. I feel that I have used it well.
\nSince my wakening in 2012 I have found my bliss from noticing the Love, the movement of spirit, in the people and events before me. I am well practiced in recognizing spiritual truth. This has been my tool for discernment. There are many \u2018way-out\u2019 theories that have been brought to my awareness. Each one has had to go through my filter of evaluation to see if the teller of the story is coming from a place of seeking truth to the benefit of all of us.
\nAnother great gift I received early in the year was learning of the channeled books that provide the \u201cLaw of One\u201d philosophy. For me this philosophy simplifies discernment as to whether a person or group is choosing to act for \u2018service to self\u2019 or \u2018service to others\u2019. \u00a0Both paths are a journey to Source through learning to Love. You can make it all the way through the many densities through \u2018service to others\u2019. But, \u2018service to self\u2019 is also a viable path up to a certain level \u2013 learning to love one\u2019s self is still learning to love. This is one reason why higher beings respect and honor the journey of those beings we might describe as evil. The masters also understand that there is only ONE being\/consciousness that we are all part of as well as that we are all a creation of the One\u2026 Law of One.
\nI found the reassurance of the Love of God from listening to podcasts from Kyron channeled by Lee Carroll. Kyron named me an \u2018old soul\u2019 and a lightworker. I found the self-love to believe these things to be true.
\nThe channelings that I found posted each day on the websites Sanada.website and eraoflight.com provided me support and validation for the emotions that arose from the journey into the shadows. The masters\u2019 words described the things I was feeling and reassured me on how to work my way through the fear and confusion.
\nTo be continued.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Life, so they say, is but a game<\/em>
\nAnd they let it slip away<\/em>
\nLove, like the autumn sun<\/em>
\nShould be dyin’, but it’s only just begun<\/em><\/div>\n
Like the twilight in the road up ahead<\/em>
\nThey don’t see just where we’re goin’<\/em>
\nAnd all the secrets in the universe<\/em><\/div>\n
Whisper in our ears<\/em>
\nAnd all the years<\/em>
\nWill come and go<\/em>
\nTake us up, always up<\/em><\/div>\n
We may never pass this way again<\/em><\/div>\n
