Are you experiencing sudden moments of chaos in your life? Volatility seems to be all around us these days, and yet this is a sign of dramatic growth.
Right now, we are becoming highly evolved human beings, and so we are feeling intense purification. We are being offered unparalleled opportunities to skyrocket on the spiritual path.
And where is all of this growth leading us? Towards all-accepting, unconditional love.
You see, we are here to grow with love. We are not here to live what the ego might call a “perfect” life. And if we’re not growing with love, then we are missing out on what our souls yearn for within the human experience.
The ego resists and avoids such growth, but thankfully growth can no longer be ignored. Finally, the intensity that we are feeling is helping us to recognize how we want to change. Can you recognize this in yourself?
Every pain that you feel – something you don’t like – is asking you to grow. It is asking for more love. It wants you to open your heart from the layers you have built to protect it.
Your issues of growth will make themselves known, so work through them instead of resisting. It can be all too easy to blame others when your pain comes to light, but this comes from being taught that you’re not good enough. And then trying to prove it to yourself.
You must know that you are so spectacular! So leave this conditioning far behind. Recognize what is being shown and use these golden opportunities as they come. Your fear will show you how you have not believed in love. Ironically, it will lead you towards healing.
As important as it is to be aware of how you’ve been controlled and conditioned on this planet, still everything that you’re confronted with is a prime opportunity for growth. Every single thing. Can you feel the tremendous growth you’ve already achieved in this life? Don’t lose sight of this amidst these changing times.
Change can be volatile and polarizing, so ground yourself amidst chaotic situations. When you find yourself on the verge of crisis, let your emotions wash over you and feel what comes up, but do not react. Let it all pass through you and then leave, until it is completely gone.
Ground yourself in nature, and take everything in stride. Instill calm and grace. Greet erratic behavior in others with compassion for what we are all going through. Chaos can feel debilitating in the moment, but how quickly it is over, and so often not as bad as we thought.
Remember, personal transformation creates collective transformation, and old rules no longer apply. We are shifting from one dimension to another, and leaving limitation. We are finally acknowledging the spiritual, where anything is possible. It’s too big to compare to the past, and rigid thinking simply does not fit. So let go of the rational mind and welcome your spiritual being.
It is time to marvel at the magic that is already yours. Your increasing intuition is mind-blowing and ready for you to revel in it. So revel in the all-accepting love that is building every day. This is the love we have been starved for on this human plane. It is the lighthouse of the soul, and it heals our world every time you grow deeper on your path. Know how brave you are to be here at this moment in history. Let us jump together and seize this gargantuan leap of faith.
How encouraging to read these words! The past two weeks have been one mishap after another within my physical world. First, my computer is on the fritz. Next, my printer. Then, transmission problems. Soon to follow, vet trip for my dog. Today, I found out that its going to cost me 1300 to get the AC fixed in my car. Something an Oklahoman can’t really get away with doing away with this time of year. Any way, I am not trying to complain. It’s just been one thing after another. I had to set my ego aside to when I asked my mother for help with the recent car expenses. I usually try to do everything on my own. It’s hard sometimes to ask others for help. I think there could be a lesson in all of this mess. Thanks again!
Oh I feel for you Jill! And I know the feeling. That’s exactly the sort of thing these intensifying energies are bringing. Recently, four major things broke in a row in our house, and I found that if I just didn’t worry about it (something my husband teaches me so well) everything worked out smoothly. And somehow, things got fixed in time. So I’m learning to ride these energies out with calmness and exactly as you say, find what they have to teach me. Also, I’m experiencing these sudden moments that feel like crisis. Everyone involved in the problem that comes up is tempted to freak out, but when we step back, we see that it’s nothing truly important. It passes, and we wonder what we ever got heated about it. It’s amazing to see this spiritual shift play out.
Thank you for sharing here, and I’ll be thinking about you. We have dear family in Oklahoma, and I know how hot it’s been! ~Suzy
“self-love is where it all begins.” Absolutely! And definitely a time of great growth. Thanks for a great post!
Thank you! It’s wonderful to have you here ~ Suzy
I find your words to be true and on point !! We are here to learn to love our selves first so that we can love others and accept everything that happens to us, and those that are close to us in a loving way. I too have been challenged with personal things. I found that the more that I resist whatever may be happening, the more difficult it is to “repair”. If I just accept it as part of my journey and allow for what ever comes to just be, life is so much easier. I find that if I am at peace with my life, the “big challenges” are actually but little bumps in the road.
To me, you are a role model for this James. Keep teaching us all : ) Suzy
Suzy,
Thanks for this post. One thing I have been doing lately is realizing that what I see and dislike in other people is actually the universe showing what’s inside of me! This practice has been very effective of getting ride of judgment so that I can BE more Christ-like. When we place the focus totally on us in this way we become conscious of a much bigger perspective that begins accelerating many other areas of our lives.
Thanks always for helping to brighten my day with your posts!
Josh, I have been carrying around a mirror for years. When I “see” that I find not loving in another I take a look in my mirror and ask myself the question “is that me”. The answer is most of the time a firm yes, then I take the time to open my heart to understand why is it that I feel what I feel and do my best to heal it.
I lkie what you say in your post. I see what you say in a slightly different way. It is not only Christ-like it is God showing us the way. It is an avenue open to all humanity no matter what their belief may be.
Love the dialogue here! and insightful wisdom from you both. It took me a long time to see that we’re mirrors for each other, teaching by showing what’s inside and longing to grow, just as you say Josh. I love the way you ask this question James, and I will try this next time. …When I feel grateful for the beautiful mirrors in my life, my judgment slips away and I open myself to finally learn.
Thanks again for this helpful conversation, amazing writers! ~ Suzy

Buried beliefs. YES! Beliefs that springs from low self-esteem, insecurity or self hatred. Rap up in fear. Suzy once we learn how to address those beliefs then we can experience the love that’s buried inside of us. Growth can be painful but it’s worth it. Love this post! Thanks Vernon
Thank you Vernon! and most of all for reminding us of that crucial step – “once we learn how to address those beliefs then we can experience the love that’s buried inside of us.” So well put. I feel it’s such a courageous part of transformation – to peel back the protective layers of the heart instead of resisting, and then love can pour forth from within. Personally, I still have some layers to go! slowly but surely : ) Suzy
I couldn’t agree with you more. None of us is perfect, but God loves us anyway. That’s not to say that He doesn’t want us to continue to grow, though!
Thanks for sharing and being here!
For myself, I’ve found that I will never be humanly perfect, because that is the design of human life – to grow dramatically in this dual world. But, I’ve also come to find that we will always be divinely and utterly perfect within : ) Suzy
