Today we celebrate the victory of good over evil with the culmination of Navarātri - nine nights dedicated to honoring the divine feminine. One could say that the root of all evil is to separate - from source, oneself, and all our relations.
I recall those moments where the invitation comes sweeping in and I find myself standing at the edge of that threshold.
To die in each moment to the false stories, beliefs and perceptions I’ve created or accepted about myself and this waking dream. To illumine the places untouched and hidden from view. That process which evokes one’s former limited identity to transform - returning incoherency to coherency. Harmonizing mind, body and emotions through that courageous experience of grounding into something higher. A crucifixion and resurrection which awakens that Holy lamp within the center of the heart.
I believe this is perhaps what the Sufis and many other traditions are speaking of. That victory of good over evil — to die before you die. That inner directed shift and right of passage that takes you over the threshold of irreversible change.
With that, I ask you my beloved brothers and sisters - when will you exchange your small life of separation, so that you can fulfill your greater part?
You may never feel ready to step completely into the Unknown and what awaits you is immeasurable love. The choice is yours.
Love all ways
