Navigating the Underworld!

Hello Beautiful Soul!

As we transition from October into the darkest part of the year, we also deepen our connection with the unseen spiritual realm, and the Underworld. We stand on a threshold of change in the human mind as cosmic forces continue to shift our sense of reality and release illusion.

The Underworld has many aspects to it such as:

*The unconscious: The unconscious mind where archetypal and instinctual knowledge reside.

*Dreams: our dreaming life, and the images and shadows of the dark side of the soul.

*Myths and stories: The underworld can be connected to myths and stories of the underworld, and the gods/goddesses and figures of death.

*Those that have crossed over: The underworld can represent the dead, and is an opportunity to commune with our ancestors to receive guidance. As well we connect to otherworldly beings more easily.

*Disowned parts of the self: The underworld can symbolize disowned and exiled parts of the self – the shadow bits we do not wish to see.

*True redemptions: The underworld can symbolize true redemptions, healing recoveries, and new life.

All of these parts of the Underworld depend on us successfully navigating the Shadow World, and allows us the opportunity to channel higher information and guidance, experience mysticism/mediumship, and achieve heightened alter states.

During November we descend into the Underworld and are challenged to confront our fears, embrace our shadow selves, and find inner strength in transformation. As we navigate this path, it allows us to break cycles of trauma, karmic residue, conditioning, and emotional repression, so that we can cultivate a deeper relationship with the Self and anchor in a sense of soulful purpose. We are called to new beginnings without any hint of the past on all levels of reality.

The Enchanter / Enchantress is the archetype that supports us as we descend and ascend  in underworld journeys;  where our ego-consciousness contacts the unconscious, and where we learn to endure and transform the dark moments of human life. This archetype is connected with the 8th chakra, the Rainbow portal to multi-dimensional reality, and is the guardian for Universal Truth.

The Enchanter / Enchantress encompasses the integration of the lower chakras, and earthly realms, with the higher vibrating dimensions to allow us to live in multidimensional realities. Embodying this archetype aids you in attuning to the higher messages about the changes you need to make in your life via spiritual wisdom.

This archetype assists you to be fully feeling and integrate multi-dimensional consciousness with grace and surrender. In doing so, you will reclaim your power, courage, and responsibility in service to the higher good.

Without being connected to the 8th chakra and this archetype you engage in the negative shadow of The Tempter/Temptress (see my video for more)

 During this growing dark time of chaos, instability and uncertainty, successfully navigating the Underworld in November is key to not only our sanity and individual ascension but is the gateway to the next phase of the New Earth paradigm.

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Each of you upon your planet earth is a brilliant storyteller. Hundreds of times in a given day, you tell yourself and one another a variety of stories about life as you know it. Some of these stories are factual. Some are entirely made up, although you might believe them to be true. Some are empowering, and some pinch you off from the steady stream of life, love, and well-being.

Whether factual or not, the stories you tell affect your mood and your vibration, and, as a result, they will become the stories you continue to live.

It is of great benefit to you to repeat the stories that lift you up, empower you, and make you feel good about yourself, life, and others. It is of great detriment to repeat stories that pinch off love and make you feel bad.  While you may feel the need to process difficult or upsetting events in your life for a while, be careful of the stories you repeat often. You would much rather star in your own fairy tale than in your difficult and dramatic story.

Life happens and you write the stories around it. Your ex takes off with your money, and you get to tell the story about it. “My horrid ex ran off with all my money, and now I’ll never catch up on my bills” is a story that ensures your future victimization and lack. “My ex ran off with a lot of money that was mine, and while it has made life difficult in the short term, I know God has my back, and I will create an even better life! I’m glad to be me and I’m glad to be free!”  This story is a powerful affirmation that you are open to receiving help and assistance from the universe.  The first story disempowers you. The second one empowers you. They are both based on fact. They are both based on interpretation. They will both become the story you live.

When you find yourself repeating a story about life that doesn’t make you feel good, challenge yourself to tell a better one. Instead of saying, “That jerk cut me off in traffic. These drivers are all crazy,” try telling yourself, “Wow, that person is in a rush and somewhat unconscious about their driving. I’m glad I am protected. I’m glad there are kind drivers on the road. The day is too beautiful to focus on one person behaving badly. I feel blessed.”  These stories are both based on fact. They are both based on interpretation. They both affect your day in vastly different ways.

Be cautious about the stories you make up about life. So often, you assume you know another’s motivations or intentions, and yet you are always filtering other’s actions through the bias of your own life experience and conditioning. Someone might look at you and make a face that looks as if they disapprove.  If you feel good about yourself, you’ll wonder what is going on with them. If you feel insecure, you might assume they are judging you. Perhaps, in reality, they simply had dust in their eyes!

Someone might make an unkind or rude comment. You can tell the story about how they don’t like you and disrespected you, or you can tell the story about them having a hard day and you having compassion. Both are based on fact. Both are based on interpretation. One renders you a victim. The other one makes you a loving hero. You get to choose.

You are all so concerned about “The truth” when, in reality, there are as many “truths” as there are human beings who believe in them. Yes, the sun is shining, but to your astronomers, it is a display of explosions on the surface of your star. To the layperson, it is daylight. To the depressed person, the brightness is a hideous assault on their senses, and to those with skin cancer, it is something to be feared. To those who love their time on the beach, it is warmth and beauty. These stories are based on fact. They are based on interpretation. They create a vibration of empowerment or victimization. You get to choose.

So whether you are telling yourself stories, as you all do, or hearing the stories of others, ask yourself, “Does this resonate with me? Does it lift me up? Does it empower me?” Does listening to people’s opinions about one another help me make good decisions, or does it cloud me from feeling my own truth?”  Ask yourself, “Does listening to the opinions of experts—be they experts on diet or politics or medicine—raise me up or drag me down?  Instead of obsessing about “The truth” or the facts of a given situation, pay more attention to how it affects your vibration.

This is a difficult paradigm shift for most to make. You have been conditioned to believe that you must know the “Truth” or the “Facts” about a given situation to react appropriately; however, dear ones, we are working with you very strongly to help you stop reacting to life and start creating. Instead of allowing your own stories or the stories of the world to attune you to misery, choose stories that attune you to the best that life has to offer so, in turn, you can attract the best.

There are many unpleasant and sordid facts in your world, but also many wonderful ones. There are many ways you can interpret anything you witness or hear and many ways others can do the same. You can drive yourself crazy sorting through all these opinions, or you can choose, deliberately, to tell and pay attention to the stories that raise you into a vibration of love. In so doing, you will be writing a fairy tale for your life, instead of living in the drama the world presents you. And dear ones, you deserve this goodness and grace. You deserve to live out the best possible story you can tell yourself about life. 

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

The Angels.
