Diving Deep

First of a series of weekly posts, a metaphysical journey in an upside down world.

Three years ago I could never have imagined that my entire perspective about life; about beliefs, reality, about good and evil, fear and love, could so insidiously flip completely upside down. I could never have imagined how wondrous the journey would become as my beliefs did a 180, slipping down the rabbit holes of epiphany after epiphany. The cross pollination of intellect and intuition have pulled me into the qualitative world of quantum physics, taking my philosophical and spiritual perspectives into the science of psychology, health, nature, existence, and Truth.

Why this, why now? So, it is from a newly cultivated place that I arrive here, willing to share a hopefully vulnerable and ambiguous perspective of paradox and principle, profanity and illusion. As I have had an archetypical journey of the wounded warrior variety, my joys and traumas, successes and failures were once contingent upon the collective systems of our society - not any longer. I now know I am not insane, the world is.

Over the years, the garden has taught me how to compost the dead, no longer useful aspects of self, and reconstitute the essences of its energetic and chemical potential into fertile soil. I have made the time to sow, plant, and learn to maintain the internal garden from which I have reaped an abundance of lessons. Sharing this bounty is the only way that I know how to preserve it. It is the alchemizing of the mind set of abundance, which manifests through death and a tiny seed, nurtured with conscious feeling and knowing, that life reveals it’s cycle of existence. We transcend what has appeared to emphasize our divergence in the physical and external expression. Our Divine uniqueness and sublime connectedness are steps in unifying and bridging our mass exodus from dependence on the physical, into the freedom and sacredness of the intangible realms. I am here as an explorer of the realms, as a mystic who chooses not to fear the journey inward, to the center of our uniquely powerful and innate abilities to alchemize the invisible world and universal elements into earthly or ‘otherly’ form. As we shift into the Aquarian Age, I call to this space those who desire a co-creative mind set, collaborative, and yet divinely autonomous expression of the Sacred - through Beauty, repetition, rhythm, harmony, proximity, gravity, magnetism, compassion, peace, and an infinite palette of universal principles and laws. Together, I believe we can exponentially evolve, as we help each other remember. I feel the pull of magnetism as it calls us to a higher collective frequency, exploring ways and transcending all that humanity has, in its’ adolescence, come to produce.

I am compelled to share testimony, to share years of observation and witness (from this life and others), through the eyes of an empath, artist, and intellect, all that have encouraged or discouraged the creative spark of my own soul. Shifting from the victim of circumstance to the empowered voice of nonconformity, authenticity, creativity, and juxtapositioning of self deprecation and self love - my vibration has climbed and rides the musical scale of frequency, through the ebb and flow of desire. I seek Truth.

I hope to inspire the magnitude of potential that we all have for healing, for living in these higher states of being through sacrifice and through receptivity. My goal is to encourage contemplation of beliefs, from a historical, multi-cultural, scientific, and religious or spiritual lense - to widen the aperture through which we all express ourselves in a free world. As we steer into the winds of change, going against the tides of new age progress ( laughing), it becomes necessary to acknowledge and limit our dependence on external conveniences, such as technology, in order that we refine the intimacy of our own resources - the ancient internet, to Earth, to Nature, to self and others, and the ‘All that Is’ in our Oneness. We are not separate - this is a construct of the ages, which is being disassembled and calling us to develop the intangible powers, before they dry up, as the prophesied river of Euphrates reminds us. End times, or new beginnings? I believe it is our perspective, our choices, that determine this.

I have led a very private life. I am stepping out to connect with like - hearted souls, from diverse backgrounds, who can come from a place of love as we discuss, in discourse or agreement, what needs to happen in order that we not repeat the cycles of our humanity. To prevent our own extinction by overcoming the ego - centric arrogance of the mind, and to grow towards a higher consciousness that we are all being called to embark upon. Let’s jump. Let’s take that leap of faith, together, into the unseen realms of the universe - that which has been denied us for centuries, if not longer. I believe, I know, that we are on the cusp of evolution - moving through the galactic center, the toroidal field of existence as our enlightenment unfolds. What do you believe? I’ll be posting weekly, probably a Saturday, but I’m not good with the 3d time thing. Love to hear from you! Thanks for reading Deborah’s Substack!
