Epiphany

 


I have been feeling like a caterpillar for quite some time now...knowing that my life and experiences are necessary for the transformation ahead, yet I can't help yearning to feel my wings glowing in the sun! I found a chart on pinterest, that broke down the different steps to spiritual awakening into 7 separate stages:
Stage 1: Unhappiness and Emptiness
Stage 2: Perception Shifts
Stage 3: Seeking Answers and Meaning
Stage 4: Finding Answers and Experiencing Breakthroughs
Stage 5; Disillusionment and Feeling Lost
Stage 6: Deeper Inner Work
Stage 7: Integration, Expansion, Joy
This was incredibly helpful in me figuring out exactly where I was in my journey; it also helped to appease my impatience by offering an explanation as to what's going on inside of me...

According to this, I have left stage 5, that of "Disillusionment and Feeling Lost", and am now fully immersed in stage 6, my :Deeper Inner Work"(all the while eagerly anticipating entering stage 7: Integration, Expansion, Joy...yet, I digress, I will not rush my process!!) This is sooo accurate!! Each day I discover something new about myself, and the best part of all is that it comes from INSIDE. I do not feel the need to compare myself or my progress to anything in the outside world. What I feel, and what is revealed is specifically for ME. My journals are quickly becoming the #1 source of information on me; hand-written docias on the subject of Queen Khira. I must admit, I'm kinda proud. The more I learn and unlearn, the more I want to KNOW!
When I first came across the term Empath, and understood what it was, there was NO doubt in my mind that this is what I am, yet I did not comprehend that it was much more than a character trait...

I didn't realize that it WAS ME. Everything about me is touched by it. Case in point, the way I talk to others, and why I think about EVERY word I say before it comes out, even in anger. It never dawned on me prior to that EVERYONE does not automatically do this; it takes conscious effort on their part...EPIPHANY!! So you mean to tell me that I have been going through life, full of hurt feelings because I ASSUMED that others were aware of how the words they were saying are affecting me?! In all actuality, you have absolutely NO idea that your words hold any real value(See, this is why I say I'm still in my "Inner Work" phase!). I am in awe, yet relieved...Relieved because at least I now know that it's ignorance of self, not lack of FEELING that is the real culprit. I can rationalize an individual just flat out not knowing any better; we have HOPE, and that feels EXTRAORDINARY. It means that it really is as simple as focusing on ourselves from the internal aspect to truly effect change. I am now able to view others and what they say through a pair of spectacles that brings into focus that you simply don't understand; makes it effortless to dismiss it without an emotional response.

What we have failed to realize is that there is feeling behind everything. Notice I said feeling, and not emotion. Emotions are a social construct, a way you have been programmed to react to a particular scenario by outside influences; they don't technically exist, as they can be manipulated and changed depending upon the social climate. Emotions are the manifestations of FEELINGS; emotions are generated based on how a particular situation makes us feel. When we react to something, we are responding to the emotions, as opposed to the feeling behind it. This is, in all actuality, what needs to be addressed, because it is what is real, and what LASTS. It is what sticks to you, and causes pain. We have to stop reacting to what does not matter. Confronting emotions is like talking to the TV, satisfying, yet totally ineffective. We are dealing with a population who has no grasp of the concept that words are directly connected to the way others feel. Do we really expect that same populace to recognize that there are people out there who FEEL their way through life and can detect EXACTLY what it is actually trying to be conveyed, regardless of the words spoken?

Feelings are pure ENERGY; this is a FACT. Know that words are not simply the opaque mask they appear to be. If what is coming out of someone's mouth does not align with the words being said, instead of reacting, take a moment to ponder...Consider the differentiation between the words and the energy, then direct your attention specifically towards THAT feeling, and proceed from there; that is what you address. We are here to master our energetic vibration, connecting to our highest good in the pursuit of happiness. Mastering our own emotions is a lifelong quest; attempting to circumvent that portion of the journey forfeits arrival at your destination.~ The Queen

The Virtuous Woman

  I remember growing up in church and hearing this term mentioned several times in reference to a particular bible verse.  It was always used in conjunction with a lesson concerning the ways in which a woman should conduct herself; specifically, what characteristics a woman should possess in order to be the ideal partner.  As a child, this was one of the lessons I took with a grain of salt because I was too young to fully appreciate all of its implications.  As I grew older, the concept continued to escape me; as outside influences became more prevalent, and began to shape my perspective.  It wasn't until recently, while reading that the idea returned to me, that I started to reflect on what this actually meant to me; I chose to define it on my OWN terms... Virtue, by definition, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, means, "behavior showing high moral standards; a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person; a good or useful quality of a...

The Tea: Days of the Week Energy Correspondence

  Sooo, the hot topic of conversation between myself and my closest friends has been how out of wack we feel, and just out of sync we seem to feel with our current realities.  It sparked a renewed interest in an article I came across about 7 years ago that talked about how we were doing things all wrong on a daily basis... From the day we are born, we have a schedule, of sorts that is imprinted on us.  As opposed to learning through our own intuition when to act, and how to maneuver certain energy, we are forced into what is pre-existing; what is most conducive to the environment in which we are now being integrated...and this becomes life.  Never giving a second thought to the fact that perhaps you should be moving entirely differently.  According to foreverconscious.com  , the specific vibrational signature for each day of the week is influenced by the planet for which it's name originates.  Each day was named after the planet with the corresponding ...

The Lipstick Diaries Volume 8: Devoted to Chili (Literally!)

  You know, I find it really funny that, suddenly, during quarantine and social distancing, there is this sudden emphasis on self-care and protecting your energy.  It would stand to reason that these concepts (and the engagement thereof!) would have been most vital when we were interacting person.  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for re-connecting to Source WHENEVER necessary; I just find it hilarious when loving yourself as an individual has become a fad(sadly, like so many other things in life, it took becoming popular for people to pay attention!  Anyway, I digress!).  Regardless of the reason behind it, I'm happy to see a collective conscious shift to the importance of stillness of mind at various points throughout the course of the day.  As a matter of fact, I've adopted the concept to develop a whole new outlook on life-a state of perpetual chill... Minding your own business becomes easier the more it is practiced.  It eventually becomes second natur...
