I came across a video this morning in which a preacher was talking about those seasons in our lives that we feel isolated, removed from much of life. He said it was in those times that God has separated us in order to give us time without distraction to learn to listen better, to grow more, and to put us on our best path.
I resonated with the overall idea of the message. We all have seasons where we need to step back, reassess, and learn to redirect our energies to better reflect a new, hopefully healthier way of being.
Tbh, the religious aspect of the message was harder to swallow. The typically religious idea of God being a male entity who sits in the heavens judging people, ready to bring about the end of the world in fire and brimstone any day now. Humans create that bullsh#t.
My belief is that whatever the higher intelligence that we humans call “God” is something so much more vast than we could possibly conceive of – the vastness of the unified field . In quantum physics, the Unified Field is the non-visible field of information of All That Is and every dancing molecule can connect. The fabric of reality, if you will; A cosmic force; an intelligence that is in every single atom of existence. The direct experience of this connecting force is available to us every moment, if we just slow down enough to listen.
The problem is, we more often choose to see ourselves as separate. We don’t take the time to tune in to the highest part of ourselves; the part of our Self that is always connected to all the wisdom, the magic, and the love of All That Is. The governments and ultra wealthy of the world that hold power tend to perpetuate this idea so that we remain passive, suppressed and repressing our personal power. As a result, we live in a state confusion, of dis-ease, of un-healing and resign ourselves to a life where we feel powerless and distracted, a victim of our circumstance rather than a deliberate creator.😞.
This is where the idea of the Hermit – being deliberately removed and/or isolated from all that distraction – comes in. Did you know that when a caterpillar builds his cocoon, he doesn’t just sprout wings and fly away as a butterfly? He (or she) completely dissolves into a dark miasma of DNA slime, and rebuilds itself DNA strand by strand, to become the gorgeous (and apt) symbol of transformation that most of us love.
Sometimes, if we are lucky, the Universe conspires to give us just such an opportunity; to remove us from those distractions, external voices and influences that keep us from breaking down those old, unhealthy parts of ourselves to heal from hurts and wounds from the past that we may have been using distractions or coping mechanisms to mask.
Like the caterpillar, we have to take ourselves out of our current environments in order to heal. To better connect to and receive the wisdom of our higher Self and the Field. When we have connected with All That Is, we are better able to co-create this reality. We learn to discover our own magic and shape this reality to a creation that makes us happy and satisfied.
Whether it is by deliberate choice or by circumstance, we are given the opportunity to learn to become quiet to listen. To become still, to better hear the wisdom that was always there, just waiting for us to tune in. This process can feel difficult and lonely at times, but the more we learn to value and appreciate ourselves, the more we enjoy the experience of our own company – and that of Source.
When we finally do emerge from what may have felt like exile, we just might be unrecognizable from the person we were when we went entered. As a result, we might lose people that we have known for ages, if we no longer resonate in the same frequency that they have remained in. But eventually we draw those folks who are more aligned with this healed and upgraded version of ourselves.
On the other side of our isolation is also peace. Better health. Greater energy, creativity, intuition, emotional intelligence, and an ability to step out of the “victim” mentality to take accountability for every aspect of our lives, enabling us to self-create a life tha draws to us those people and circumstances that more accurately reflect who we have become.
And that can only be a good thing, right?
Big love.💖
