 The journey of awakening is different for every person. It depends on each soul’s unique path, life lessons, choices, and experiences. Most people come into this world without remembering who they truly are on a spiritual level. We are born into what is often called the ego, or separate identity, a kind of false self created through human experience. Our True Self, what many now call the Higher Self or the I AM Presence, often remains hidden or disconnected for much of our lives. Because of this, as children, we really do not know who we are beyond what we are taught. We only know what society, culture, and the world around us tell us about ourselves. From a very young age, we begin forming our identity through our parents, family, schools, religion, relationships, and even media and pop culture. All of these influences shape the egoic self and create the story we come to believe is “who we are.” The ego is made up of many layers of conditioning and programming gathered throughout life. Some believe this programming is simply part of human society, while others feel humanity was intentionally disconnected from its deeper spiritual nature. I know this idea may sound far-fetched to some people, and that is understandable. Most of us have been taught to believe that our personality, our life story, our struggles, our circumstances, or even our physical body are all that we are. But spiritual awakening begins when you realize you are far more than what you were taught to believe about yourself. As you reconnect with this lost part of your being, your Divine Nature, you begin the sacred process of remembering who you truly are and why you are here. As this remembrance grows, the false sense of self slowly loses its power over you. The ego does not disappear overnight, but it no longer controls you in the same way. The more you connect with your I AM Presence, Higher Self, or Soul, the more aligned, peaceful, and authentic you begin to feel. At some point, many people experience a profound inner realization that they are more than just an individual personality. They begin to understand that they are connected to all of life and to creation itself. This is not just a concept to think about, but something that can truly be experienced within. And once this awakening begins, you start living more from your authentic self rather than only from the ego. Often this transformation begins in small ways. You may start becoming more aware of your reactions when someone triggers you emotionally. You may notice how you respond to fear, anger, conflict, or the suffering you see in the world. The more aware you become of your reactions, the more power you gain to consciously change them. You are no longer living like a machine reacting automatically from old conditioning or egoic patterns. Instead, you become more present, conscious, and free. You begin to choose your responses in a way that is more aligned with your True Self, your Soul, and the deeper truth of who you really are. Today, it is becoming much easier for both humanity collectively and for each of us individually to reconnect with this deeper aspect of ourselves. Many people believe that the Earth, Gaia, is moving through a powerful vibrational transformation, and as inhabitants of this planet, we are also being transformed. Over the years, many sensitive and spiritually aware people have felt that humanity has been receiving an influx of higher frequencies, light, and consciousness. Some describe this as light codes coming from the sun and from what spiritual traditions call the Great Central Sun. Whether understood literally, energetically, or symbolically, this increasing light is helping many people awaken, heal, and reconnect with their Divine Nature in ways that once seemed far more difficult to access. As the collective consciousness shifts, more people are beginning to question old beliefs, outdated systems, and the identities they once clung to. Many are feeling called inward, searching for deeper meaning, truth, healing, and spiritual connection. What once remained hidden beneath layers of conditioning is now rising to the surface to be seen, healed, and transformed. We are being given an incredible opportunity during this time on Earth: to loosen our attachment to the ego and the false self we have believed ourselves to be for so long. This does not mean destroying the ego, but rather allowing it to align with the soul and our Divine Self. The more we awaken, the more the old identities, fears, limitations, and conditioned patterns begin to dissolve naturally. But for this transformation to happen, we must first awaken to a deeper truth: you are not only your personality, your past, your wounds, your thoughts, or the roles you play in the world. There is something within you that is far greater, far wiser, and far more expansive than the limited self you were taught to believe you are.  Within you exists a Divine Presence, an eternal aspect of consciousness connected to all life. When you begin to reconnect with this truth, your entire way of experiencing life starts to change. You begin to see yourself differently. You begin to see others differently. You become less attached to fear and more connected to love, compassion, wisdom, and inner knowing.
Awakening is not about becoming something outside of yourself. It is about remembering what has always existed within you, beneath the conditioning, beneath the fear, and beneath the illusion of separation. It is the journey back to your authentic essence, your soul, and your sacred connection to life itself. There are many simple ways to begin reconnecting with your True Self and your Divine Nature. It does not always require years of spiritual study or complicated practices. Often, it begins in the quiet moments when you slow down enough to truly be present with yourself and with life. A Few Suggestions on How to Begin to Reconnect with Your True Nature 1. Meditation can help quiet the constant noise of the mind so you can hear the deeper wisdom within. 2. Spending time in nature can reconnect you to the natural rhythms of life and remind you that you are part of something much greater. Sometimes it is as simple as walking slowly, feeling the sun on your skin, smelling the flowers, listening to the birds, or sitting peacefully beneath a tree. 3. One of the most important things you can do is begin creating space away from constant distraction. Turn off the endless noise of technology for a while. Put down the phone. Step away from social media. 4. Sit quietly in a park and simply observe life happening around you. Become the observer instead of always reacting to everything around you. Slow down enough to truly feel yourself again. 5. Reconnect with your body. Connect with your breath. Your breath is one of the greatest bridges back to presence and awareness. The more you breathe consciously, the more you return to yourself. 6. Begin listening to your heart instead of allowing the mind to control every choice and experience. The mind is valuable, but the heart carries a deeper wisdom that can guide you toward truth, alignment, peace, and authenticity. These are just some of the ways you can begin tuning yourself back into your True Nature. Awakening is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been beneath the conditioning, the fear, the pain, and the false identities. And the beautiful thing is that this journey is available to all of us. No matter where you have been, what you have experienced, or how disconnected you may feel right now, you can begin again. Every moment offers a new opportunity to awaken more deeply to yourself and to the sacredness of life. The world is changing rapidly, and many people are feeling the call to live differently, more consciously, more authentically, and more connected to their souls. Perhaps that quiet longing within you is not random. Perhaps it is your soul calling you home to yourself. So begin where you are. Take one small step. Breathe more deeply. Spend time in stillness. Question the stories you have been taught about who you are. Open your heart. Listen inwardly. Allow yourself to imagine that there is something far greater within you waiting to emerge. Your awakening does not happen all at once. It unfolds moment by moment, choice by choice, breath by breath. But every step you take toward your True Self brings more freedom, more peace, more clarity, and more love into your life. You were never meant to live disconnected from your Divine Nature. You were meant to remember who you truly are and live as the embodiment of that.

 In the midst of everything we are witnessing in our world right now, I recently felt called to re-read a book that profoundly changed my understanding of how we got here. That book is The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler. I first read it in the late 80s when it was newly released. I was one of those women just beginning to consciously rediscover the Goddess. That book opened a doorway in me that has never closed. Eisler built on the groundbreaking archaeological work of Marija Gimbutas, one of the first female archaeologists to present compelling evidence that Goddess-centered cultures once flourished across large parts of Old Europe—long before they were overtaken by what Eisler calls the Kurgan invaders. Re-reading it now, in today’s climate, feels less like nostalgia and more like remembering something essential. Partnership Societies: A Different Beginning Eisler describes what she calls partnership societies—cultures where women and men lived in relative harmony, where governance was shared, and where art, agriculture, medicine, music, trade, and technology flourished. Cultures such as Minoan Crete (around 2300 BCE) are often cited as examples. Because Crete was protected by the sea, it was shielded for centuries from waves of invasions that devastated much of Old Europe. For nearly 1,500 years, this civilization thrived. Was it perfect? Of course not. No society is. But the archaeological record reveals a culture that was largely peaceful, artistically advanced, and not organized around warfare or rigid male domination. Women appear in art and ritual life not as subordinates, but as central figures. Reading about these societies again, I felt that familiar ache, an ancient knowing that something precious was interrupted. The Rise of Dominator Culture The Kurgan tribes, nomadic, war-oriented peoples—brought with them not only bronze weaponry but a fundamentally different worldview. Bronze, which could have been used primarily for art and tools, became a technology of conquest. Their deities were warrior gods. Their social systems placed men above women. Power was defined through domination rather than cooperation. Over centuries of invasions and cultural shifts, the partnership model gave way to what Eisler calls the dominator model—a system rooted in hierarchy, control, conquest, and “power over.” That shift didn’t just change governments. It changed mythology. It changed religion. It changed the status of women. It changed the emotional tone of civilization. When I first read this decades ago, I remember weeping for hours. I felt the grief of what humanity had lost. Today, I feel something different. Not just grief. But clarity. Why This Still Matters Now We are living through the visible unraveling of many dominator structures. Political systems, media institutions, economic hierarchies—cracks are everywhere. Sometimes it feels chaotic. Sometimes discouraging. But every system built on imbalance eventually collapses under its own weight. Any society rooted exclusively in hyper-masculine values, competition, control, aggression, suppression of the feminine, will eventually become sick. We see that sickness in our environmental crises, our wars, our fractured communities, and even in our personal relationships. And yet, alongside the crumbling, we are witnessing the rise of feminine values: collaboration, empathy, intuition, embodiment, creativity, relational intelligence. This is not about women replacing men. It is about restoring balance. The partnership model was never about matriarchy dominating patriarchy. It was about mutuality. And we can create that again. What You Can Do Now If history tells us anything, it is that cultural transformation begins in consciousness before it manifests in form. Here is what feels most important in this moment: 1. Hold a Vision
When you combine thought with emotion, you generate a powerful field. Vision without feeling is weak. Vision infused with embodied emotion becomes creative force. When the news triggers doubt or despair, return to your vision. Feel it again. Strengthen it. Never underestimate the power of directed consciousness. 2. Be Mindful of What You Feed Your Mind We are saturated with information designed to provoke fear, outrage, and division. Much of it keeps us emotionally reactive and energetically drained. Discernment is critical. Instead of consuming narratives that reinforce powerlessness, cultivate your own inner guidance. Strengthen your capacity to sense truth. Question what you are told without falling into paranoia. Your nervous system deserves peace. 3. Call Your Power Back Many of us have unconsciously given our power away—to institutions, teachers, relationships, belief systems, even spiritual authorities. You can reclaim it. Stand quietly in your space and say: "I call my power back from anywhere I have given it away—knowingly or unknowingly. I reclaim what is mine. I release what is not." Feel it returning. This is not symbolic. Energy follows intention. 4. Claim Your Sovereignty Do not give your power to any leader, political party, teacher, or “master.” Guidance can be helpful. Mentorship can be sacred. But sovereignty must remain with you. You are aligned with Source. You are a co-creator. You are not here to submit your inner knowing to external authority. Partnership begins within. When you live sovereignly, balanced in your inner feminine and masculine—you model the world you wish to see. Re-reading The Chalice and the Blade now, I no longer feel only grief for what was lost. I feel responsibility for what can be restored. History is not destiny. It is a story in motion, and we are writing the next chapter.  What does it mean to be discerning and how can you develop this ability?
Much of what you see or hear is not always based on fact or truth but rather on personal opinion, hearsay, or something that has been altered. Since this has become more prevalent these days, learning how to be discerning and use your critical thinking is very important. So how can you learn to develop discernment as to what you read, see, or hear in the media or social media or from friends and family? Even when you are listening to someone who is a channel and they are channeling this master or that angel, how do you know who is real or what the truth is? It seems like it has become increasingly more difficult to be able to know for sure what is Real and what is Fake. How to Develop DiscernmentI want to share a few ways that you can develop your ability to discern for yourself what is true or not. The first thing I found important was learning how to come into a state of neutrality. When you are balanced within yourself, when you feel centered, and strong like a tree rooted into the Earth, when you feel a deep connection to Source and are calm, and neutral, then discernment is easy. When you are in this state you can easily feel what is true or false to you. In a place of inner strength, you can watch, read, or hear someone and feel the vibration of the words being said. Do they lift you up, or do they cause you to feel dense energy? This is not referring to hearing about tragedies that are happening in the world, but rather it is a feeling of density or like a weight in your gut sometimes, a heaviness that just feels off.
Once you cultivate this knowing and develop trust in yourSelf, as well as trusting Source or Divine Intelligence, the Unified Field or God whatever name you choose to call that energy of pure love you will be on the way to using your discernment in your life with ease.
