Welcome to the first of these Alchemical Illumination Portals — brief, potent transmissions designed to illuminate the places where something in you is ready to shift. In alchemy, nothing is wasted, and nothing is random. What appears as resistance, blockage, or uncertainty may actually be the very material needed for transformation, if you know how to read it.
There’s a lightning-fast way to growth, but wow, does our ego hate this path. It’s the opportunity to understand more of who we really are in those cringy moments. The moment you couldn’t believe THAT came out of your mouth or you actually did THAT. Quite frankly, it’s shocking, even to yourself, because this version of you is not who you want to be.
As America approaches 250 years of independence, I find myself holding both how recent studies show trust in institutions is at historic lows, national pride is fading, and psychologically the cages we find ourselves struggling with internally. But this shouldn’t be a surprise to us because we know the Law of Correspondence that states “As within, so without.” In other words, our country and the freedoms that we are struggling to hold onto are a mirror to the internal freedoms that are being silently stolen from us.
Join me to discover what exactly is being unknowingly hijacked from us.
There is a level of partnership that goes beyond what we typically think of as soulmates. This is what author Cynthia Bourgeault discusses as Fifth Way Love, and once you understand it, you may never see intimate partnership the same way again. The territory we are entering is intimate partnership as a path of spiritual alchemy. There is a dimension of pleasure available within a sacred relationship that goes so far beyond the physical, it has the potential to dissolve the ego entirely and birth something neither partner could create alone.
The Divine wants to please you. Which is why you have been built for pleasure. Not just from a sensory level, but also with an aspect within you that seeks to fulfill you, bring you joy, and feel pleasurable.
But the hard truth is that it is easy for our egos to corrupt our pleasure. It’s also easy for others to manipulate you into finding pleasure in ways that only have a short-term effect. Sacred pleasure isn’t something that leaves you feeling empty when all is said and done. That’s your ego’s version of pleasure.
