Playing: Natural Rhapsody, by Jonathan Wilson 
Why are you still so afraid?

Those things you’re running from, those things you're keeping so hidden in pockets so small within you, all those things are still within you. They are still a part of you–you cannot run and hide forever. These things are now right behind you, more present than ever: dare to turn your head around and see?

This place, this universe, this bigger “something” is bringing it all to surface. Do you feel it? I know you do. Who are you fooling saying otherwise? Do you dare to feel it?

The thing to remember is that you’re not alone. Matter of fact, I feel we are becoming more connected with this shared experience than ever–and there now exists a safe space; a safe place to land on when you're falling; a main stage existing bigger than ever allowing you to step up in confidence and share your experience. This place exists right here for us now where one can work through this experience and embrace this experience with another. What you’re now feeling, my friend, I feel it too, they’re feeling it too. Mother Earth is awake, and it’s time for us to do the same.

To know thyself–what does that mean to you?

If you were to look into the mirror right now, who do you see? How do you feel? Can you lock eyes with the reflection or do you shy away? Do you feel comfort, acceptance, and love, or the unease, confusion, and unfamiliarity that comes with not knowing who you are glancing at? 

Take these words as truth: to know thyself is to love thyself fully, every ounce of it, with a calmly-beating heart fully open. To see your reflection is to embrace it, to be able to lock eyes with it and smile. To walk into a room is to allow for your pure internal experience to present, rather than seeking the exterior details to define the moment instead. To know thyself is to be sure of your next step, to not shy from your higher spoken truth, to live in alignment with your agenda, and to be right where you know you’re supposed to be. Each step is taken with such confidence. Each action is taken with grace and ease. You share your energy with those worth having it, for you understand the value of your own energy. You understand you’re not so much this physical form, but existing beyond it. You accept your bigger purpose and meaning in being here. You understand your need to connect, love, and be loved. 

We learn to undergo the changes, for they are necessary for your evolution. We learn to face and embrace those things that were once worth running from. We let go all that is no longer us and allow ourselves to align with what is. We forgive all with love. We embrace the pain with acceptance and understanding. We allow for their pain without judgement. We shift from outwardly to within for life’s truth and answers, and let life present through these healed eyes. We find peace and solitude with being with ourselves. And with it all, with complete ease and due timing, we begin to live in absolute coherence of who we truly are. In fact, when you step back to see it all from the outside in, we’ve truly always been living in absolute coherence of who we truly are. We are just learning again how it feels to be back home. Mother Earth is present now, asking you to wake up those eyes once more to see how it was always meant to be. 

This, my friend, is what it means to be alive. This is what it means to know thyself. 
Up you go
