Thank you for provoking more exploration. Feeling guided by harmony with an innate sense of service, I feel it's ok to be misunderstood. It feels to provide ample opportunities to shift or adapt to continue to reflect the love and compassion that ripples and flows. That's the highest truth that feels to guide. It's also kind of humorous, I'll feel that resistance and think Oh yeah, this is you "helping" again... I feel over time if I am patient and consistent , perseverance will speak for itself. Its ok to not "fit" in and it's showing me that I don't need to compromise to make peace for the immediate gratification to feel good right now as this is a lifelong revelation that is occurring. It shows how durable and resilient one can be even amidst all the self destruction that is occurring on so many levels- so I'll explore that more over the next few weeks as I observe and watch for the patterns to arise

You had brought up Christ Consciousness which is very prevalent. I remember the precise moment when "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." activated an inner alchemical change within. It was no longer "my" eyes I was seeing through. Everything was in slow motion, moving my body felt so heavy. I remember how green the trees looked, the smell of rain, the sound of my feet on the rocks, everything was so amplified. It was a massive shift which made me feel quite crazy at the time. I can relate to Marye's post, especially the part of it feeling lonesome. Those were some really long years for me yet I wouldn't change one second of the pain as it was the pain that tore me to the core. It was the catalyst.

"I read recently that enlightenment is not simply a state in which the intellect is in possession of questions and answers - it is a state of being in which the full spectrum of Source Consciousness is integrated, synthesized and crystallized into the incarnate body presence: understood in the mind, felt in the heart and made tangible in the body." Thank you for sharing this perspective. I see how you are so committed to see where your path takes you no matter where the rabbit hole takes you, I just saw the reflection of resilience in you. So commitment and resilience seemed to combine in this moment.

Thought to share... I was taking a bath yesterday as well with some Moldavite crystal salts that I came across over the weekend. Honestly didn't know much about it but felt a strong pull. Here's a little info about Moldavite. It says it is etherically carved of spiritual fire. This mysterious green talisman is star-born, formed from nature's violent meteoric impact with Mother Earth. Etched by force and flame as it fell from the heavens Moldavite returned to the earth's surface transformed, a glass of amazing delicacy and grace ready to serve humankind. As a Stone of Connectivity, Moldavite carries an intense frequency, a fusion of earthly and extraterrestrial energies that are quickly felt, often dramatically in those who resonate with its power. Holding Moldavite for the first time often produces a sensation of heat, felt first in the hand, then progressively throughout the body. In some cases the heart chakra is activated, experienced as a pounding pulse, followed by sweating or flushing of the face, and an emotional release that may range from laughter to tears. So much synchronicity within those few sentences. Thank you for sharing your bath story as it lead me to read more, so much interconnectivity.

Much love to all of you, expressing on this forum is such a blessing. Thank you Open for holding this space for all of us to connect.
