She stood there.
She had already swam the length of the ocean and dug the deepest holes.
She had already fallen off the edge of the world and found her wings.
She used them to fly to the moon and beyond this galaxy.
She looked the stars face to face and let them show her new things.
This girl had fire in her eyes.
Her storm still raged.
Hungry, thirsty, fully engaged.
So she stood there.
The embodied flame.
Staring into the dark abyss.
Lighting her own way.

And to be clear “Love” isn’t always sunshine and roses and rainbows out your ass.
Love is being authentic and honoring the Christ / God WITHIN YOU. (Not someone else’s 😉)

I’ve seen a lot of theories about when Jesus was born. All with different dates and reasons for whatever date being referenced is actually Jesus’ birthday. They all fall short of understanding because they are missing the point. And it’s a big one.
For my part, it was crystal clear to me when I first started studying the Zodiacal Wheel of the Year and saw that “Christmas Eve” falls three days after the Winter Solstice, that Jesus, the SunSon, was “Born” at the Solstice. This is the time of year when the light begins to triumph once again over the darkness and the days begin to get longer instead of shorter.
So Jesus’ “birthday” is actually marking this significant point on the Wheel astrologically.
(Incidentally, this also is where the year moves into Capricorn, the Goat — the Initiate who begins his journey up and out of the depths of winter / darkness with sure-footedness, strong steps and an eager Heart.)
Now, you can agree with me or not, and certainly many have disagreed vehemently. But once you start really looking at astrology and letting the notion into your mind that Jesus is actually the personification of the Sun, things will begin to click into place.
And for the record, it’s not just the Bible that encodes these Truths into its stories. The Qur’an, the Torah, the Upanishads, the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, etc, etc do it too. If you can read them with an open heart, you see that the Savior is the Sun.
But here’s yet another layer to the meaning of “Christmas” that just serves to reinforce the importance of looking at all of this astrologically.
“Many centuries ago in the precession of the equinoxes, the end of the year was marked by the position of the great Dog-Star Sirius, mighty celestial symbol of the divinity in man. Precisely at midnight of December 24 it stood on the meridian line from the zenith to Egypt. At the same moment there arose on the eastern horizon the constellation of the Virgin, bearing in her left arm the Christ child, symbol of the Christhood coming to function in man, and in her right hand, the great star Spica (Latin, a head, or “spike” of wheat), symbol of that same divinity coming as celestial food for man.”

Jesus was born of the Virgin, Virgo, on “Christmas”.
It’s not literal.
It’s written in the stars.
So, in my estimation, you can let go of all those times you tried to make sense of a child being born to a woman who never had sex. And all the times you wondered about poor Joseph and the faith he must have had to believe in her anyway. And all the machinations that came with it.

My Dad’s answer to me when I would ask a deep question was almost always, “Get a book”.
Not because he couldn’t answer me, but because he knew the value of digging in on my own.
And I always did.
When I was interested I something, I went and found it. Encyclopedias were my friend and the library was my home. You know that story/movie Matilda by Roald Dahl? Yeah. That was me. I would walk my little ass to the library every chance I got. And stay there. The books I brought home were my FRIENDS. And I loved them
Dearly.
As a result I am the ultimate Do-It-Yourself-er.
Really. I even gave myself my own tattoo at 16 years old. Because why not? I could figure it out. I could ALWAYS figure it out.
But I didn’t know to ask for help. I didn’t know to ask the Universe to show me. I think it did anyway, though. I might not have been consciously aware of it, but my Heart asked for it. Even if I didn’t know the significance of that passion.
We are always guided and protected. Always led to exactly where we need to be.
Amen.

When I personally think of and refer to "religion", what I see is a system being used to take that which was uncovered within one person (or a group of people) and form a consensus or a model for others.
They could be right. It could be divine.
Where we miss the mark there, is then in the creation of the system of beliefs about whatever did or didn't get revealed.
Because we have "good" and "evil" and "light" and "dark" so ingrained into our psyche, typically when these systems are formed, those concepts are broken down for others. As if providing a recipe.
Only in this case, whether it is presented as such or not, the student, the novice takes that recipe and begins to feel fear if they do not or cannot follow it precisely.
They begin to doubt their own internal guidance. They begin to doubt their own intuition. Why don't they have those experiences? Why do they have these questions? Why do they feel the need to challenge the system? Why can't they just believe it like everyone else does so they can fit in and be one with the crowd?
This creates a downward spiral of which often requires that person to break out of whatever system they were brought into, so they can return to trusting their own inner guidances.
I see this in just about every group system where people think there is a practice or a routine or a method which brings enlightenment or salvation.
When you think someone else has figured it out and that you're "supposed" to follow them.... You turn down the volume of the One who is guiding each and every one of us every day, all the time, and turn up the volume of those around you.
Similarly, when you think you have it all figured out and you think that everyone else will see it the way you do and that's what will save them...you turn up the background noise, actually making it harder for that person to hear the divine guidance they need to see to arrive to those same conclusions on their own accord.
That's why I find it so breathtakingly beautiful how there's been an initiation process unfolding all along. One where the teachings find us wherever we are and as we look and listen ..they continue to unfurl, taking us deeper and deeper -- and how you can find others who've all been there, done that, came to that conclusion, documented it and then continued on their journey without trying to create a system around it. Those are the most beautiful confirmations and lessons I've encountered.

God has no definition. No boundaries and no limits.
If God were to show Him/Her/Itself to you, that would then become a limit. A set of characteristics assigned to that experience. A definition.
And your experience, though absolutely Real, is tailored exactly to YOU. You, in fact, have a part to play in Creating that experience. It’s YOURS. And if you tried to use your definition to explain to someone else “what God is” - you would be giving them YOUR understanding and your perspective.
Now, some people are spiritually aware enough to understand this. They can share experiences and compare notes. But most, the masses, are not. When they go to church or listen to a guru or latch on to a channeler, in most cases they are accepting someone else’s experience as the Truth and then trying to experience THAT. Which is at best only going to be a reCreation of something someone else experienced, and at worst is going to give them a huge complex of self-doubt and unworthiness when their experience doesn’t measure up.
And it won’t, because it’s not Authentic. It’s not their own. It’s a copy.
This is why Ash and I keep attempting get the message out, in all different ways of saying it, that YOU are the Key. And you must honor your OWN inner experience and perspective regardless of what anyone else thinks about it.
My Path is mine. Yours is yours. They are NOT THE SAME. And they shouldn’t be. They may run parallel. They may have similar elements, but they are different, and GLORIOUSLY so.
Honor the magic that is yours. Because as soon as you do that, you’ll see that you wouldn’t want anyone else’s! Yours is made for, by and with YOU.
Stop chasing someone else’s Spiritual Experience and be brave enough to have your own.
In Love,
TR ✨💕✨

Perhaps realizing that you are, in fact, an emanation of God in a human body will allow you to honor your own experiences.
If you deny your own Inner Knowing - the Christ within you - you’re pretty much telling God to fuck off.
Do you get it yet?

One thing that requires constant reminding of self - is that there isn't a single other person who was born under the exact same conditions, exact same energies, exact same environments as you were.
Those conditions, those energies, those environments/cultures/religions aka VARIABLES ARE what shaped and refined the lens you see the world through.
How can anyone expect to create a system of beliefs, practices and methods that would then apply to AND resonate with everyone in the whole world?
I just don't think that's possible. And attempting to force that is what creates discord, war and further separation.
There are always going to be things that work for you, that don't work for me. There are going to be ways in which you see things, that I cannot comprehend without having lived within the same conditions you did when you started to see whatever that is.
When I think of us all unifying and coming together, I don't see an agreed upon system or rituals or routines or methods etc. I see a newfound level of respect for the individual's spiritual experience - whatever that is.
I see us finding our communities, our "church" through resonance. Through frequency. We will just know our people, our tribe. Fellow warriors of that Ray of Light. Others who are being divinely guided through the same lessons at the same time, in synchrony (sound familiar?).
And we won't judge the other colors, the other tribes as bad or wrong. We will joyfully come together often to help each other share and grow, to think differently, and then go back to our community, taking the lessons with us to continue in our advancement.
The more we turn away from group consensus and appreciate our differences while celebrating what brings us together, the more we heal.
The more we heal, the closer we get to this vision.

The Divine in Me sees and acknowledges the Divine in You.
That’s what has been missing from our world and certainly from our society.
And if you don’t first acknowledge and accept the Divine within yourself, how the hell are you going to be able to honor it in others?
Answer: you won’t. And you’ll doubt and fear and hate because the separation you feel inside will be projected out from you in everything you do, say, think and feel.
ATONE.
Become At One and all that will fall away.
Everything, everything, everything starts with YOU.
