56: you are a gift to be shared, not hidden. 💛 · Soul Salon with Ayandastood

  Hello, Soul sibling, you have so much to give to the world, so much love, so much wisdom,
• 0:06
  so much perspective and experience, and there is a ripple effect of every single form of creation and expression.
• 0:14
  The ripple of your being is going to take us as the collective to a place of more love, of more connection,
• 0:21
  of more truth, of more liberation.
• 0:23
  And so every time you hide yourself or you are not in your power or you are caught in the fear of being seen or the fear of starting,
• 0:31
  the fear of not being good enough, that is a way that the status quo and these oppressive systems that want to silence that voice of us within,
• 0:40
  that inner voice of creativity and possibility and also truth, radical imagination, that voice must be silenced by the systems that exist
• 0:49
  in order to prevent a new earth from rising, a new consciousness from awakening.
• 0:54
  And we can see that this is already happening, and I know you can feel that you are supposed to be part of that shift.
• 1:00
  You feel it in the way that people in your life regard your ideas, your perspectives, they say things like,
• 1:06
  I've never thought about it that way, or I'm still thinking about what you told me three months ago,
• 1:11
  or that conversation we had a year ago really shifted things for me, or your energy or your presence is so powerful.
• 1:17
  And you've been seeking more ways to share that power, to step into that power more and share it,
• 1:23
  and that requires taking up more space, being more visible.
• 1:26
  The very thing that you've been conditioned not to do.
• 1:29
  And so here you are invited onto this beautiful path of unfolding, of being more within yourself,
• 1:36
  within your power just as the sun has power, just as the moon has power,
• 1:40
  just like the trees and the earth and the soil, you two are a part of nature that has its own power,
• 1:47
  that has its own essence that leads to more life, just as each of those aspects of nature do.
• 1:52
  So you are here to awaken and to support, to nourish, to nurture,
• 1:57
  to also perhaps decompose, deconstruct, we all have different natural energies and natural inclinations.
• 2:04
  For example, I heard this quote that in a crisis, a butterfly doesn't become a lion.
• 2:09
  We all are here to be as we are and to lend our hearts, our hands, our spirits,
• 2:14
  in the way though that is an alignment with who we are.
• 2:16
  So in a crisis many writers feel, I must write, that's what I'm here to do.
• 2:20
  I'm here to offer my words.
• 2:22
  I can't fight with my hands, but I can write my words down.
• 2:25
  And so understanding that we all have this natural pull, this natural calling,
• 2:31
  and you're calling to being more seen, whether it be online or on stages,
• 2:35
  in rooms or conferences, retreats, events that you want to host,
• 2:38
  communities you want to start, movements you want to either join or lead.
• 2:42
  These are all aspects of what you are being called to,
• 2:46
  but also remember that it is this earth, this collective awakening,
• 2:51
  trying to be pulled through your heart and through your curiosity.
• 2:55
  So it's not purely this hero's journey of the individual
• 2:59
  who must self-actualize as in the more dominant and imperial Western worldview.
• 3:04
  So the self is not purely for its own self-realisation,
• 3:08
  but a being for others, a sense that we are all here as part of a collective purpose
• 3:14
  and experience that all our dreams are involving the collective
• 3:18
  and will invite the collective into more of heaven on earth
• 3:23
  or this feeling of a cosmic utopia that we are all here to co-create.
• 3:28
  So that pull within you is that earth trying to become,
• 3:35
  is that collective awakening trying to become.
• 3:38
  And so when you silence that calling, there is a natural ripple effect
• 3:43
  that also gets silenced, and your voice is exactly the same.
• 3:47
  So when you are fearing being seen, you're stuck in what could go wrong
• 3:53
  for you and your own sense of self, what we're then underestimating
• 3:58
  is the power of the ripple effects of us being seen.
• 4:03
  That if you share your voice, share your writing, share your poetry,
• 4:06
  share your screenplay, share your writing, share your poetry,
• 4:10
  share your perspective, become a podcast host,
• 4:13
  share the way that you interview, the way that you hold space,
• 4:16
  share your business that is so aligned and rooted in purpose.
• 4:20
  So we never know what is trying to be awakened through us.
• 4:23
  But when we don't allow ourselves to be seen or don't allow ourselves
• 4:28
  to take these creative risks, what ends up happening is that ripple effect of ascension.
• 4:33
  We can feel that the collective is rising in terms of what we are seeking vibrationally.
• 4:38
  We're seeking more wisdom.
• 4:41
  We can feel this spiritual awakening that's happening within the collective consciousness
• 4:45
  that we are seeking more, things like purpose, alignment,
• 4:49
  that we are seeing beyond what is to what could be
• 4:52
  and we're creating an alignment with those possibilities.
• 4:55
  So when we think about that, we have to understand that we are not here to
• 5:00
  control or block or decide what the ripple effects of our expression will be.
• 5:05
  We are here to allow that to take place, that natural way that we are
• 5:10
  affected by one another.
