“Blinders off"
The energy this week reminds us that we can't manifest in a vacuum. Our ability to create the life we desire is inextricably linked to the soul contracts that bind us, the energetics of the collective, and our personal relationships.
While it's incredibly valuable to stay focused on our own individual missions and goals, we can't delude ourselves into thinking that we're unaffected by the realities of our life circumstances, the state of the world, and the malevolent forces pushing back against deeper alignment in our soul missions.
This week confronts us with the ways that we've been so focused on our own internal journey that we've become disconnected from the realities of the world we live in. Don't get me wrong - we have the power and ability to liberate ourselves and meaningfully impact the collective consciousness, but we won't be empowered to do so without first acknowledging things as they are.
We are “householders” - not monks meditating in a cave - and this week highlights the privilege of engaging with our individual spiritual practices, alongside the responsibility to bring those practices to the people in our day to day lives. Our ability to stay grounded and present in a “normal" life is central to the impact that we can have.
This week may reveal some of the ways that the life we're manifesting simply isn't realistic (yet) because of the ways that we refuse to see the reality of our situations. We need to provide for ourselves financially. We have responsibilities to our families and the people that we love, and they may not be on this same spiritual path.
To the extent that we've been manifesting our “dream life” without considering these practical realities, this week reminds us to take off the blinders, and actually look around at the state of our lives.
Our manifestation energy is powerful, of course, but it doesn't exist outside the confines of our daily lives, and pretending that it does may be keeping us stuck.
