- 0:02Awakened Woman and was written by Sophie Bashford.
- 0:05If you choose to love an awakened woman, understand
- 0:08that you are entering into new, radical, and
- 0:11challenging territory. If you choose to love
- 0:15an awakened woman, you cannot stay asleep. If
- 0:20you choose to love an awakened woman, every part
- 0:22of your soul will be aroused, not just your sexual
- 0:25organs or even your heart. Frankly, if you prefer
- 0:29a normal life, stick with a normal girl. If you
- 0:32want a tame life, seek only a woman who has allowed
- 0:35herself to be tamed. If you only want to dip
- 0:39your toe into the flowing waters of Shakti, stay
- 0:43with the safe, tamed woman who has not yet plunged
- 0:46into the wildness of the sacred feminine ocean.
- 0:50It is comfortable to love a woman who has not
- 0:53yet activated her inner sacred powers because
- 0:56she does not push your buttons. She will not
- 0:59challenge you. She will not press you into becoming
- 1:02your highest self. She will not awaken the forgotten
- 1:05and numbed out parts of your spirit that urge
- 1:08you to remember that there is more to your life
- 1:11here than this. She will not look into your weary
- 1:15eyes and send a lightning bolt of truth through
- 1:18your body, jolting you awake and stirring long
- 1:21lost desires for soul love within you. A safe,
- 1:26unawakened woman will be wonderfully satisfying
- 1:28and soothing to your ego, heart, and body. She
- 1:32will walk quietly beside you and make you feel
- 1:34needed, responsible, like you are fulfilling
- 1:37your masculine role. If this is enough for you,
- 1:41then accept it. Love her with all your heart.
- 1:44Remain faithful to her and thank her daily for
- 1:47the gift of her mild, unthreatening, feminine
- 1:50presence in your life. If this is not enough
- 1:53for you, if your heart, body, and spirit are
- 1:56only craving the other kind of woman, the wild
- 1:58one, then know that you are on the cusp of soul
- 2:01-shifting transformation. Know that you are making
- 2:05a serious choice with karmic consequences. If
- 2:08you choose to step into the aura and body of
- 2:11a woman whose spiritual fires are blazing, you
- 2:14are accepting that you need a certain level of
- 2:17danger and risk in order to grow. Once you begin
- 2:22to love a woman of this nature, you must accept
- 2:25total responsibility for the life changes that
- 2:28will then ensue. Your life will not be sleepily
- 2:31comfortable all the time. Your life will not
- 2:34allow you to stay stuck in old ruts and stagnant
- 2:37routines. Your life will take on a radically
- 2:39new flavor and scent. You will be ignited by
- 2:42the presence of the wild feminine, and it will
- 2:45begin to send electric shock waves of spiritual
- 2:48light through your entire chakra system, attuning
- 2:52you to the call of the divine. Choosing to be
- 2:56sexually and romantically intimate with an awakened
- 2:58woman takes masculine courage to walk fearlessly
- 3:01into the unknown, but it will reap rewards beyond
- 3:04your mind's comprehension. She will take you
- 3:08into undiscovered worlds of mystery and magic.
- 3:11She will lead you, mesmerized and half drunk
- 3:15with love, into the wild forests of sensual ecstasy
- 3:19and wonder. She will show you sacred skies so
- 3:22full and burning with stars that you will start
- 3:25to wonder if you are still living on the same
- 3:28planet that you were born on. She will break
- 3:31and tear you open so that your fierce, passionate
- 3:34heart drives you half mad with longing. You will
- 3:38want to consume and penetrate her on every level
- 3:40so that your masculine essence can consume and
- 3:43penetrate the world, illuminating the universe
- 3:46with your devoted love. She will see you like
- 3:49you've never been seen before. She will trust
- 3:52you. She will appreciate you. She will acknowledge
- 3:55your efforts to make her happy. She will value
- 3:58everything good that you do and everything good
- 4:01that you are. She will not run from your darkness
- 4:04because your darkness does not scare her. She
- 4:08will embrace, kiss, caress, and love you back
- 4:10to life. She will speak words that your soul
- 4:13understands. She will not punish you for your
- 4:16mistakes. It is a monumental risk to love an
- 4:19awakened woman because there is suddenly no place
- 4:22to hide. She sees everything, therefore she can
- 4:25love you with a depth and presence that your
- 4:28heart and body have yearned for so hard, so long,
- 4:32so fiercely. It makes you wonder whether you
- 4:35have actually been alive for all the time that
- 4:38she has been away. Loving a woman like this is
- 4:41a choice you make to start living with your soul
- 4:44on fire. Your life will never be the same again
- 4:47once you've invited her energy in. Take this
- 4:51risk on yourself or step back, stay with the
- 4:54normal girl and accept a different, safer, more
- 4:56comfortable and somewhat calmer life. Just make
- 4:59sure that if you choose the latter, you don't
- 5:02spend the rest of your days with your eyes looking
- 5:04back over your shoulder, straining to see once
- 5:07again the hazy vision of feminine mystery that
- 5:10has now disappeared from view. She has long gone
- 5:13spiraling back up to the stars, the distant galaxies
- 5:17and the heavens. From Where She Came, written
- 5:20by Sophie Bashford.
