Happy Veterans Day to all who Serve and all who have Served.
This day brings mixed emotions for me. But I know, fully, what lives in the Hearts of those who choose to join the military.
My prayer today is that we do not need to keep asking this type of sacrifice from anyone.
Ever.

Veteran's Day
One day on their path
They made a sacrifice
With few visible scars
They paid a steep price
Into the armed forces they went
Not knowing what was in store
Putting on their armament
Being sent into war after war
Following orders
Serving for you
They each had to reach deep inside
To find a way to stay true
True to their heart
Day after day they got smoked apart
Yelled at and demeaned
Enduring every onslaught of screams
They saw the worst of humanity
They saw the darkness of a human's depravity
And every single day
They chose to awake
To carry their sword
Whether or not they got a break
Day in and day out
They endured endless pain
Just so you and I could be free
To dance in the rain
They paved this way
On our darkest nights
They ushered in the day
So thank a veteran you know
Thank them young and old
Thank them for the freedoms
They gladly bought for you
With the price of years and sanity
Deep thanks to every veteran for all you did and still do

Human friendships may be severed, but God will never leave you. Though everyone else forsake you . . .
if you have Him, you have everything.”

Fake people can only keep up the facade for so long.
Let them do their thing.
There’s nothing you need to add to the equation.

People are going to try to bring you into their perspective of reality.
If it truly aligns with yours, great.
But if it doesn’t …
You need to grow the balls to walk away.
Really.

There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. @theneighbours2021Ⓡ

I may be off here, but I suspect that many of us are going through a period of intense readjustment. I know I am.
Something to do with standing in our own Sovereignty and learning how to carry our Light back into the places that we were pushed out of over the past few years.
(Not telling anyone what to do by any stretch. Just sharing my own musings right now.)
When we awaken spiritually, we go through many stages. One of those is the Dark Night of the Soul - as we are well aware. After that comes intense elation and a sense of floating above much of the muck down here. We learn and grow. We strengthen our own understanding of who and what we are.
But there’s a phase that many don’t talk about, either because it’s just not that fun, or maybe because we think it’s an indication of some kind of “failure”. I don’t think it is at all, although it can feel that way if we don’t understand it.
That phase is the return from the wilderness, or the fall back to Earth. At some point you have to take what you’ve learned and apply it to “real life”.
See, the thing is, we aren’t going anywhere. Many are waiting eagerly for the moment they get to leave this place/timeline/dimension/whatever. They’ve decided that this place is hell or a “prison planet” and they focus on leaving it behind.
But we’re not leaving. We are called to bring Heaven here. To draw it down out of the Aether and channel it into this place. To transmute this place into what we want it to be.
Sorry, but I do not believe we get to “leave” and I wouldn’t want to. I would never leave a comrade behind on a battlefield and I feel much the same about this place. I don’t want to leave people behind to “suffer their own fates” while I float off to some kind of Neverland.
There is work to be done here. And in order to do that, we have be able to re-integrate into this reality with everything we’ve gained. And it’s hard, because many of the people who need your Light, whether they know it or not, will not be able to hear you if you’re hovering above them in your perception of things. They sense that. Shoot, you do too if you’re honest with yourself.
So, to some degree I think we “sacrifice” ourselves back to Earth in order to be relatable and not perceived as “better than” them. This is a tricky balance. At least it is proving to be so for me.
I am still the only one in my sphere of people who truly “gets it”. Even the ones who have a bit of a clue are still very confused. It takes a lot of awareness to be able to interact and not get caught back up in the muck. Some days I am better at it than others. It’s a bit like running back into a burning building to help others get out. You might get a bit singed, but you do it anyway.
I see all of this as just another round in the spiral. Another layer of growth and innerstanding. Another chance to prove to mySelf that I have the utmost control over my life and my world and that this is the way to truly serve humanity.
So if anyone else is experiencing a similar sense of intense readjustment right now, please know that you have not gone backwards. You are being given an opportunity to expand… yet again.
In Love,
TR ✨💕✨
