Reshaping your connection to the Beloved
So many of us are in transition from the known to the unknown, and there is very naturally a lot of anxiety, trepidation, and hesitancy about the whole thing. Strangely, at times we're feeling more alive than we've ever felt. There is a part of us that wants clarity, wants it to feel good, and wants some resolution to all of the contradictory thoughts, feelings, and emotions. We are longing for some solid ground to stand on. We're probably tired and have been working so hard. Cosmically exhausted. I indeed just want some deep rest.
It is natural to want the path of the heart to feel safe, to provide answers to our questions, and to establish a new reference point from which we can move forward. But the movement of love is one of holy reordering and is not organized around our hopes, fears, and preferences.
For me, so much has fallen away over these last weeks and months – so much that I thought I needed, so many of the identities I thought I had to maintain, so many beliefs about the nature of love and why I have come here. But what will arise from the ashes of the known?
We are not yet being given any answers, but continue to be asked to sit in the fires of groundlessness, and to stay committed to complexity, confusion, and contradiction. For these are our most alive teachers now, aligned on the altar of our spirit, and calling us deeper inside. They will only continue to ask us to let go of the ‘need’ to resolve something, to wrap it all up, and to spin back into the dense environment of the known.
The Beloved is a shape-shifter and will use the entirety of the phenomenal world to reach us. He or She will never stop appearing as the inner and outer mandala that is taking form as our life… now.
She is preparing the ground for what is next. But what is next is always and forever made of the unknown. Stay there.

Dance me to the end of love, this version by Jorge Drexler, (and of course i ought to love his Uruguayan South American accent!), reminds me of this constant reshaping my inner connection to her. Divine inner presence.
