Universe 101 — As Above, So Below. As The Universe, So the Soul

Think back on your life and reflect on the times you had to heal from something, big or small. Are you able to recall a pattern of:

(Problem) — > (Aware of problem) — > (Begin working on problem) — > (Resistance) — > (Progress) — > (Heavier resistance) — > (Stuck) — > (Epiphany) — > (Problem solved)

Of course it’s not that exact or linear, but generally speaking that’s how it tends to unfold. Well, take that, and apply it to the collective. As you think back on all the changes you’ve had to make, all the stuff you’ve had to work through, can you recall all the resistance to the change despite knowing it’s exactly what you need or how bad you actually wanted it?

Say you have a goal that’s long term. It’s definitely hard work but you know for sure it’s doable. When you have someone in your corner who genuinely believes in and supports you and shows that either emotionally or through action, when you have that, it seems much easier to bear the load and move through that resistance. Things manifest significantly faster when two or more people focus on and put energy into the same desire. Apply that to the collective as well.

The things we actually need to make society a better place for everyone comes at such a slow pace because those who have the power to put the policies in place are stuck in the past. Holding onto ideologies and structures that clearly no longer serve anyone but them.

So for now on, keep in mind that when you choose to love yourself and shed light on and heal the different parts of you, you’re helping both yourself along with the collective.
