Healing has been a life-long obsession and constant theme for me. I wish I could say this was serendipitous. But I’ve come to see this stretch of my earthly tour as a masterfully architected blueprint for my soul’s evolution; one that I would have gladly handed off to another.

We all know the infamous hero’s healing journey hailed in spiritual circles. Somewhere along the line, life throws you a curve ball. And you step up to the plate, bat in hand, confident you’ll hit a home run.

Trusting in Universal Law and stints in various mystery schools, you go to work aligning your chakras with the perseverance of a major league rookie training for an incoming season.

After a two-week structured water fast, celery juice and raw veggies are mealtime staples. No alternative treatment, frequency device or herbal tincture is off the table. Daily meditative practices lead to enthusiastic affirmations that healing is complete despite any evidence it is true.

While the results of such rituals aren’t easy to substantiate, you can’t deny a slight energetic shift is inching you towards the win. Or maybe you’ve stumbled on just the right combination of supplements, diet and exercise to turn the corner. Either way, you are feeling stronger and more confident.

Your bat makes perfect contact with the ball, hurling it into the stands. The bases are loaded and the crowd cheers in anticipation. This single hit is the prelude to stardom.

Legendary accounts of spiritual teachers overcoming a major life obstacle are commonplace in our community. I’ve spoken of my own at great length. We all love a good story.

At the darkest hour, supernatural forces open the flood gates to ancestral voices. Answers are revealed and a soul is anointed with healing wisdom. The question isn’t whether these are genuine events, but if they are sustainable and repeatable healing methods intended for others. A blueprint is only useful beyond the construction phase if the next building is identical to the first.

A big win is bound to feel amazing. But much as you’d like to hold onto the glory, it’s impossible to turn one career defining hit into an envied batting average for long. This isn’t because you don’t possess the talent or will. The probability of a home run relies on more than the number of pitches thrown.

The formula for a batting average has only undergone slight modifications since 1876, when the National League officially adopted the definition of hits divided by at-bats. But I think there’s a flaw in the calculation; because each batter is a unique manifestation of consciousness and every moment at bat a rare event swayed by unforeseen variables.

The evolutionary experience that a batter requires isn’t the concern of Major League Baseball; but maybe it should be. Even in the spiritual world, we rarely account for such pertinent periods of soul growth and their impeccable timing.

Despite not being recruited for the major leagues, I was a pretty decent recreational ball player in my childhood. Looking back I’ve come to realize that regardless of the massive gap in technical skills, there isn’t much difference in the ups and downs between seasons. Every major league slugger and 12-year old who dreams of becoming one is bound to have a bad year; as will your most revered healers, channels and spiritual teachers.

This only becomes a problem when the world is counting on you to repeat last year’s award winning grand slam. It’s natural for die-hard ball fans to compare their favorite player against the season’s rankings. And in the off years, it’s painful to admit how far you’ve fallen off the leader board. From the bench, you start to question the spiritual win that your ego so passionately embraced.

Let’s face it. No one wants to shed light on a score that’s plummeting. This would be counterintuitive to beating the odds, especially in the realm of healing.

To confess that you haven’t been able to summit the next mountain suggests that your secret healing sauce isn’t worth as much as you thought. Revealing an absence of intuition would further defile your polished image as a mystic. Eventually, you’d have to admit that your hero’s journey wasn’t the lifetime achievement it was all cracked up to be.

The savior archetype comes in many shapes, sizes and colors, but there is one common denominator. For a savior to be real, the lack of a further insurmountable obstacle is required. This fairy tale is glamorized in Instagram shots of your favorite guru scaling red rocks with outstretched arms in the allure of freedom and everlasting vitality.

But true healing doesn’t look this way because it never comes to an end.

Regardless of how hard you train, some pitches will fall just out of reach of the ego’s need to control. This is by design. These humbling moments at bat are stretching you to evolve in areas that your soul hasn’t before; in ways other than you did in ancient Lemuria or that nagging past life your Akashic records reader keeps replaying.

You are here now to become a different version of who you were before. So if history repeats, it isn’t because you didn’t conquer it then. It’s showing up in a slightly different form because you’ve meaningfully ascended through previous attempts and the universe knows that you are capable of more.

I am not suggesting that savoring a win is wrong; but if rested on too long, diminishes the actual triumph, which is an accumulation of achievements your soul has weathered since its very first breath. The Guides say that we don’t fully appreciate this precious legacy until we’ve reviewed it through Heavenly eyes.

What a soul gains in a test of faith can’t be encapsulated in a podcast-worthy tale or dramatic photo capturing the exact moment a record breaking hit kicks up dirt. It is impossible to quantify through material success or an astral process. In fact, the most cherished attributes of healing are rarely brought to light.

In all my years of channeling for private clients, sessions for the chronically ill scared me the most. It is the only topic that I expect my mind to interfere with. I feel the pressure of what is at stake as my soul is still growing through its own physical vulnerabilities. And the last thing I want is for my ego to taint critical guidance requested at such a tender moment.

I am always surprised and relieved when the message isn’t what I’d expect.

One session, in particular, made an overwhelming impact on me. A regular client was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and coming often to understand why. She eventually asked her Guides for the exact action steps to rid her body of this horrible disease. I was floored when I heard them lovingly proclaim that she was asking all the wrong questions.

They suggested that she surrender her physical healing and instead prioritize how she wanted to live inside of the experience that her soul was given. I realize this gets controversial in the spiritual bypassing domain. It may seem they were putting the blame on her for manifesting this terrible fate. But a soul’s destiny isn’t this exact, despite the best astrologer’s ability to chart the beginning and end of an arduous cycle.

They explain it this way.

You did not decide on every detail of your soul’s journey. You carved a complex wave of vibration through a living legacy. You are not meant to recall every detail of this predestined plan or reason for coming to Earth. In fact, the projection of this from the astral is so massive, it would be impossible to fit into a linear perspective on a physical planet.

You are simply attracting the vibratory equivalent of all that is necessary to become your soul’s next highest expression. This doesn’t mean that your vibration is to blame. It is highly intelligent.

On Earth, we attract from a pool of history that runs through the entire human condition. This isn’t all bad. It gives us a glimpse into what it must have been like to be here before and an occasion to improve on it for generations to come.

We all face prominent karmic themes threaded through the past; some related to the body and others to hardships like poverty and loss. The goal isn’t to heal, understand or change them. Their purpose is to change you. When taken to heart, this primal incarnate pursuit improves the entire universe and every part of you that roams through it.

Ascension may imply that you are moving up a linear ladder; yet fragments of your soul are strewn throughout space and time in every dimension of this universe. What you are doing here right now is complimenting incarnations elsewhere and vice versa. Each lifetime is cultivating an expression of energy that touches others uniquely, leaving its time stamp on ones to come.

This activity is quantum.

Something this important could not be relegated to one incarnation. It can’t be labeled with a diagnosis or branded by one season of life.

You see, the decisions that my client would make to heal her body didn’t matter in the end. She couldn’t get it wrong other than to suffer through them, because this phase of her life was programmed into her Divine plan. And its purpose wasn’t to discover a cure.

She was in this predicament, like so many others, to make the absolute best of every day she had on planet Earth, even when it seemed nearly impossible. Because creation isn’t the end result of what we do, but how we experience everything that comes our way.

To rid ourselves of disease, we are called to imprint it with a new energy. The only difference between diagnoses like cancer, multiple sclerosis and diabetes are lab markers and symptoms. But suffering is the air, water, soil and sunlight that keep every disease alive. And suffering runs so rampant throughout the human condition that we all incarnated for the purpose of relieving it.

Sure, cancer has taught us some very important, grounded lessons about toxins, food, our DNA and cells. Within the confines of any diagnosis lies a treasure trove of life altering choices; some with the potential for future generations to inherit stronger bodies. None of these critical decisions go to waste.

But suffering is where the rubber meets the road. It weaves through all physical and emotional traumas. It exists inside of pain, disease, heartbreak and financial loss. And it spreads faster than the next manufactured pandemic.

So to step fully into our multi-dimensionality, we must tackle illness from a slightly different angle than our ancestors did. It’s not that we ignore the physical plane and do nothing meaningful there. The Guides ask us to remain neutral to the outcome of our decisions and open to the possibility that we aren’t charting a path to better health alone.

How we are being inside of the doing matters most because a journey through illness is expanding us in ways we cannot yet see. It is leading us to a new and better reality, whenever and wherever that may be.

My client has since passed on, but I do not believe this is because she failed or wasn’t privy to the right answers. She was given an opportunity to evolve in ways that we cannot fathom while in a physical body. And I think she probably aced the test.

I’ve since come to realize that the highest spiritual guidance will not solve all of your problems. It will not take you from disease to wellness, poverty to wealth or solitude to a soul mate. The best spiritual teachers won’t train you to manifest your problems away. They will help you create a safe space to become present within them.

Guides at this level will walk you through moments of peace, faith and mindfulness. They will lead you to the inner strength that lies beneath distress. They know that time is your most valuable healing asset and there is no pinch hitter skillful enough to take your place at bat.

To search outside of yourself will only take you straight out of the game.

To rid the world of suffering does not require that we never feel fear, sadness or anger again. But we can use these emotions to constantly self-reflect and improve; to reach for more intense states of connection. They are assets in our quest for ascension, because nothing prepares you to serve a collective more than going through the muck of what needs to be served.

Once your boots are dry, your muddied steps aren’t the most interesting part of the climb. What you learned about yourself in the process is sacred. Who you become inside of the hero’s journey is all that matters, even if you never reconcile what brought it on in the first place.

Yet your soul’s becoming is infinite and the reflection of millions of other spiritual voyages currently in progress. Oneness isn’t some abstract concept we have yet to reach. It is available right now inside every inner battle we face.

Mary Magdalene says that, if you will allow it, suffering can become a passageway between worlds, where a soul has the distinct opportunity to heal and become the healer. In these moments, you must be willing to feel to the depths of your ability, as all restriction is causing separation from God.

Separation is the root of all suffering.

But if we can move through hardship consciously, we gain the skills to detect it in others. ​We possess priceless insight into what it means to be human.

If we reach for grace in troubling times, sharing anything from a place of love comes more naturally. In our daily quest for self-compassion, we begin to hold it for others. And if we are able to grant ourselves understanding, forgiveness comes easier on a planet full of hurt.

Healing of any kind requires humility; because there is nothing we can do to intervene in a soul’s plan other than to remind them that they are not alone. This doesn’t mean that we can’t continue our missions to serve and still revel in the hero’s journeys. But we should remember that there is just as much value in periods of failure as success.

So if you are out there healing and teaching, resist the urge to hide your off-seasons. ​These inconvenient times are magnets to others walking the same path.

The things you struggle with most hold wisdom. Your imperfections make you humanly relatable and your service more personal and relevant. Authenticity brings these rare gifts to the surface.

Instead of trying to muscle a slew of bad pitches into the next heroic hit, I now step out of the batter’s box for a while. I become quiet and mindful. I see these moments as the prelude to great transformation and an occasion to hold hands with those who are also swinging and missing.

In my many healing seasons of life, I’ve learned to stop checking the batting average and keep my eye on how the batter is improving. I have more patience. I allow myself to rest and have stopped calculating my worth on ideals of outward success.

In difficult times, the universe will take a wrecking ball to hidden fragments of ego that you didn’t know existed. I now invite these uncomfortable periods of destruction into my life. Through them, I have gained a deeper sense of empathy, not knowing what season others might be in.

These are my greatest wins.

If you are always looking at the stats, you’ll miss out on the amazing souls behind them. Gently remind yourself that you haven’t walked a day in their cleats and then look down at your own. The mud, grass and rock stuck between them are evidence of what got you to where you stand today.

Regardless of whether you are on the field or in the dugout, every step is cause for celebration.

It’s dawned on me that, most of the time, things aren’t always as they seem. To live in this wisdom is a spiritual rite of passage. Beneath a thick stratus cloud lies many things, some easy to see and others difficult to fathom. At the end of the day, we rely on what we know of this reality to capture it through a unique lens. And as we surrender to change, an internal camera is retrofitted with new avenues of perspective.

Each of us is filtering our earthly existence through very personal viewpoints. But our continued self-knowing is the catalyst for how we make sense of an ever-evolving reality. Who we become through our worldly experience alters the world we live in.

As a channel, I’ve navigated a lot of interesting messages through the Guides. At first, these ethereal insights didn’t always land for me. But as they sunk in, I began seeing reality a lot like they do and felt more misunderstood and displaced in the world.

I acknowledge that my work is not for everyone. Some experience a deep familiarity with the vibration while not easily grasping the complex messages relayed. This is by design. Beings of the highest integrity challenge us to expand consciousness. They don’t tell us what to think.

Each transmission is carefully overlaid with intricate vibratory waves like the composer of a symphony moves its audience through contrast and drama. As a soloist sets off against an orchestral ensemble, ample space is made to feel the music, gather personal meaning and apply it to a transient reality.

The soloist’s deviance is required to make the entire piece rich and transcendent; but it takes courage to stand this far out from the crowd.

When you review a channeled message years after its initial release, you will find new revelations tailored to how much you’ve grown in the time between. This has become a personal measuring stick of my own ascension. I’ve progressed from taking the Guide’s words so literally to letting my insights blend with their astral awareness of what is happening on the Earth.

Let’s face it… these loving beings aren’t here in physical bodies, so our interpretations matter.

But this way of translating the work hasn’t been easy because my most uncomfortable period of awakening was timed with one of collective grandeur. And I suspect that many of you reading can relate.

Looking back at all we’ve weathered since 2019, you may wonder why the intensity of our shift to a higher dimension is still at its peak and growing more extreme each day. I have some thoughts on this, but wish to review a few basic concepts before letting the cat out of the bag.

Collective experiences are held in a complex web made of trillions of individual timelines that converge in a geometric design. This massive web supports the united reality we observe until it is outgrown by those who built it and must disintegrate to make space for a new one. We capture this incredible web through a camera lens we’ve practiced with our entire lives, but can be easily swayed from zooming in far enough on the tiny strands that uphold it.

A global pandemic, for example, is a strongly braided, timeline thread woven through all others. How we choose to navigate this experience either strengthens or weakens the braid. The sacred place that we touch into a collective timeline can only be found on those tiny little strands; the ones we spin with our heads and hearts and in our daily lives. This is where your power to influence something as significant as a global pandemic lies.

Search your home address on Google maps and then slowly zoom out. Where you reside is an integral part of a neighborhood, city, state, country and planet at large. And the Guides suggest that it is no mistake you chose to live there at this pivotal moment in human history.

Your home holds more than material worth and comfort. Your soul’s presence there is sending a constant vibratory signal. A tiny strand of silk is spun by a busy spider to suspend a larger grid. Its bonds are so strong that they resist breaking under the most stressful situations.

This valuable energy is your soul’s true essence. It exists in every thought, word, feeling and action. The choices that you make in your little neck of the woods are worth their weight in gold. And this is why making them consciously is so important.

Now back to the cat in the bag.

If you’ve been in the channeling space for the past 10 years, you are familiar with prophecies referred to as the split of timelines or dawning of the new Earth. These concepts seemed so foreign and ethereal to me until the pandemic. The push for vaccination drew a very clear line between those for and against bodily autonomy. This could easily have been mistaken for a logical split between those awakened and not.

We thought that we finally had physical evidence for the Guides’ astral foresight. But this wasn’t a timeline split at all. It was barely a fracture.

Sociopolitical issues like racism, identity politics, surveillance, global governance and trust of our political leaders rocked the boat even harder. It seemed the perfect time to step further into our missions; to use our voices and make a difference. Of course, your intended impact depended on which side of the fence you were on.

Excuse me… to get to the new Earth do I turn left or right?

What if this glaring fork in the road didn’t require a turn signal at all, because the dead end was just an illusion? The beautiful country thoroughfare that your soul chose to travel requires an off-road vehicle at times; because fresh scenery lies just beyond your willingness to yield. But you must believe in your ability to make it past the tall grass, even if you can’t see what’s on the other side.

To take a side requires that we step into conflict; to enter a boxing match of sorts. Chiron in Aries was the perfect kindling for a massive fire ignited by those who never set foot in the ring. This period of explosive ego and self-righteousness was milked by powerful world leaders with a much bigger agenda than any of the above mentioned issues.

These oligarchs know that regardless of who wins the match, each boxer sustains cuts, bruises and broken bones in the effort; a visual trophy of his endurance and fortitude. This leaves me to question if the losing boxer doesn’t possess a false sense of glory in his quest to keep fighting. Not to diminish the effort, but will he retain the energy to go on?

To arrive at an opinion about anything is a dynamic and exciting process. Consciousness requires a lengthy stay in foreign lands to know if they are worthy of a soul’s travels. There is no room for judgements made so judiciously on the public stage. Linear thinking has no place in the new Earth, because we are moving into a multi-dimensional reality.

While the past six years haven’t been easy, they’ve awakened something precious in me. Arriving at a belief about anything has become so sacred that sharing it with the world would not only desecrate the process, it would contaminate any further ascension. This can be compared to the channeling reference made earlier. If we take the Guides’ words too literally, we miss out on the many layered nuances that are challenging us to grow.

Expanded consciousness is hard to fit into a tiny box. It becomes impossible to label people with the bias of a featured Wikipedia article. To pigeon hole anyone as conservative or liberal without exploring the depths of their worldly philosophy is an opportunity wasted.

Opinions matter less than the person you’ve become in the process of forming them. And this is the incredible person that the world misses out on when assumptions are made.

Yet without proper investment in knowing thyself, we have no framework to know another. So we must slow down to analyze why we believe what we do and where these beliefs come from. We need time and space to let our ideas percolate like the robust flavors of a dark roast coffee. If the goal is to string us along with narratives that are slight of truth, we’ll have to work harder to weed out the divergent forces hidden beneath.

This is why I believe that the new Earth can’t be found in these ‘splits of timelines’. In fact, they aren’t real timelines at all, but fabricated narratives designed to trick us into repairing a web meant to disintegrate long ago. These eloquently designed facades keep us ruminating on the past to distract us from creating a better future. And they are not the way to unity consciousness.

When you divide families, neighbors and the entire human race, a secular yet cohesive connection cannot be found. Relationships become fragmented and everyone is more alienated. When these critical bonds are broken, a resilient web never comes to full fruition. And while you are sidetracked, stressed and more exhausted each day, your camera lens is easily stolen by a power beyond yourself.

But I’ve noticed something interesting starting to happen in the spiritual community.

Boxers are stepping out of the ring in great numbers. There is a deafening silence that is pervasive among some of my favorite people. And I believe that this is where the new Earth is starting to take shape.

This is the true split of timelines that we’ve been waiting for.

These individuals understand that the new Earth isn’t an angry place filled with sharp edges. It isn’t blemished with lies triggering the constant need for discernment. It’s a simple, more peaceful place to reside. So they’ve taken off their boxing gloves to let wounds heal and reclaim the vitality necessary to focus on what matters.

Those who have thrown in the towel decided that it isn’t worth degrading another spider’s perfectly spun, golden thread regardless of where it lands. Messing with a web that isn’t meant for you not only destroys a home, it creates more work for the ones building. And if the work never ends, there is no time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Waving the white flag may seem like a cop out; but it requires a great deal of courage when accusations of spiritual bypassing echo through the dark chambers of social media. The most valuable opportunity to master the ego is when life gets hard. You start to realize that acting from unchecked emotion is like spinning your wheels. You waste a lot of energy and go nowhere in the process.

Consciousness requires keen self-awareness and compassion for people we don’t understand. It isn’t easy to drop your sword; but if you release the weight, you will feel a lot lighter and free up a hand. You will find the confidence to live your truth without validation or agreement. And there is no longer a need to aggregate your worth through a declaration of superiority.

This doesn’t mean that all of the world’s problems cease to exist; but maybe the world doesn’t need saving. All it needs are human beings focused on living well, loving more and contributing in their unique areas of service.

The last six years were offered as training to learn how to thrive beyond the constraints of a collapsing grid and drown out the screams of those holding on for dear life. A revolution doesn’t require protest, legislation, a new administration or the white hats, whoever they are.

We’ve gotten so used to responding to a world in chaos that we have forgotten the world actually responds to us. And when we decide to live outside of a broken system, a better one will meet us where we are choosing to live; not the other way around.

To get from here to there, you will need to focus all of your attention on what’s important right now. This will look rudimentary to others. It isn’t loud and seems selfish. It could be as simple as a nervous system reset, learning how to invest in alternative currencies, getting off grid, baking bread or planting a garden. You might even be restructuring a spiritual mission.

You aren’t checking out. You need quiet to focus. So don’t let anyone guilt you into becoming noisier as if it is a noble act. You are learning how to survive beyond a structure that is facilitating its own demise. And this will require your total concentration.

A mission isn’t always outward facing. Being a Lightworker doesn’t require the glamour of two minute reels and eloquently worded purpose statements. The life you are building right now will shelter others in the most unsuspecting of ways. One seed can take root and multiply into a harvest that nourishes thousands of people.

So why do I think that the force of this planetary shift will continue to intensify over the coming years?

It must until all of those entrenched in the fight surrender and exit a web so unstable, it can no longer support those standing on it.

We are being called home; a place that some of us have neglected far too long. We were tricked to believe that our humble quest to live freely wasn’t important enough to change the world. But it is everything that the world needs from us today.

To change the past, we are charged with creating a radically different future. But we must be willing to bypass the drama because integrity and corruption are opposing vibrations. Solutions don’t exist inside of problems. And justice is a mirage in a self-serving system. Any attempt at reform would give too much power away. ​

​The Guides remind us that the universe balances all things, so trying to push the weight yourself is pointless. When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it always goes back the opposite way. And while the universe is hard at work, we have a chance to do some re-balancing of our own.

We won’t always agree on what’s good and evil, but rest assured, we all believe that good and evil exist. The question isn’t which side we are on, but if we can accept that these polarities only become real when we define them, not when they are quantified by others. And contrast isn’t such a bad thing.

Oneness has nothing to do with agreement. It has to do with appreciating the value of our differences. It’s going to take a lot of novel ideas to move the Earth into a higher dimension. Nothing is off the table.

The new Earth is emerging in a timeline split that no one is talking about. You won’t hear about it on the news, social media or in your spiritual circles. It can’t be defined by the discord of sociopolitical dogma. It is so personal that trying to explain it to anyone would be pointless.

This is a silent divide; an uncharted path that evades left and right turns.

If you are one of these misunderstood warriors, I feel your tranquil interference in constant turmoil. I see the wisdom in your new passions and serene state of creativity. And I honor the bravery it takes to keep driving through unknown territory in pursuit of a simple, yet meaningful existence.

As unsettling as this period on Earth may seem, I am confident that you and I are exactly where we are meant to be.
