Aloha Marilyn, I will say yes you are correct in the heavenly aspect. I do see and feel the lower parts of this experience as well. You are in my story 100%! I do not always speak on the dark as I tend to face the light knowing that I came from the darkness to seek out the light of my own experiences. Just as we were speaking on the openness of the transformation process, I was taken to a very dark place to see. And as I sat with what you said in the above post, I did realize that I do have some of those experiences and just haven’t brought them into the light. I thank you for shining the mirror this way, so I can see past my own reflection. In looking into my past, I did not even understand the depth of the darkness that was always around me. There have been times when I felt as if I was Daneil in the lion’s den. The earth and the womb are dark but also very nutritional for the soul to grow. Just as a seed planted in the ground, it seems dark and feels like there is no way out. But there is a deep desire to break through what is in this place to reach for something greater. This for me has happened on many levels. It is hard at times to accept the darkness, even if it is for my own growth. I have even finally come to terms with somethings I just don’t want to know the why. So, yes, the need to understand why is not important as the actual transformation. I have come to terms that I can’t change the world, but I can change who I am. And in that the world changes for me. I really appreciate you being you in this conversation and connecting with me. I really enjoy the perception you bring to my attention. I can be really focused on the small picture when there is so much more to bring to the table. It has been a real pleasure diving deep in this and in myself. I am still curious to know more about your story. Until then enjoy and be well. Mahalo
