This is a profoundly chaotic time.

We are in a cyclical shift. Whenever something older, a way of thinking, a way of being transforms, it brings with it, a void.

The void is where the new emerges.

But, the new actually requires immense care to be born. It needs nurturing, love, forgiveness of the past, gratitude for the present, true shadow work completed and a new sense of agency emerges.

Only a few teachers can help with this, because those human vessels have to actually do the work themselves, and that is a rarity today.

So, when you’re in the void, which we are in, collectively, it’s very easy to fall for the pull of anarchy, chaos, hatred and rage.

Those emotions, like we know, felt “new” when we were teenagers, but they lacked love, nurturance, maturity of that come from true “new” adulthood.

The cosmos is churning through this void. As she will for a very long time.

Your job is to not fall prey to the systems that are wearing the masks of newness, but are out to hurt, harm, exploit and gain.

Your job is to use this time where collective fear is high, to help yourself expand your OWN inner capacity for the void.

Enjoy it. Don’t get destabilised by it. That’s how you become a vessel for new birth.
