There and Back Again

I've become aware that I've been revisiting the dark night of the soul, awakening, and integration positions. I didn't recognize it because it felt so different after all the growth.

They say life is a spiral. We revisit themes and positions again and again, but never exactly the same. For me, this cycle is about integration. All the poetry I wrote, all the revelations and internal victories.

My recent video of my dark night poetry journal feels like a personal triumph. Only after a full spin around the wheel of fortune could I really feel these as victories.

This hero's journey has now been told. There and Back Again.

Nigredo → Albedo → Citrinitas → Rubedo → ∞

Back in rubedo, I want to share this short, and a message: self-actualization is your first purpose. We are all called to do this work. We are all capable. We all hold the Kingdom of Heaven within.

This is what it feels like on the other side:
