​May 27, 2023
The song included below has been playing in my home all morning! It is with real joy that I share the following. These messages were given on 5.25.23 and today, 5.27.23.
 
I woke up (5.25.23) knowing that something had changed, things felt viscerally different. It was an odd sensation and stayed with me for hours. Later that day, the following conversation occurred:
~
It is the One.
Can you tell me what I was feeling this morning?
You are experiencing what it feels like to sense the collective’s journey. What changed last night is that a “war lord” was executed. This drastically alters the fight and speeds the trajectory. You are on a faster course of action at this point. It means an acceleration.
This is what you feel. You feel “off” because the speed of your movement towards liberation has increased. You feel “behind” and as if you aren’t ready for it all. The other thing you feel is that you have “missed the boat”. You feel late or behind, and this agitates you.
Nothing “bad” accelerates. This was an unexpected victory and many players remove themselves as a result of the departure. It is good news for the movement. It is good news for the planet and its people.
You may notice major shifts in direction. The fallout is real. All of the forces are rejuvenated because of this outing. All of the forces are inspired now because without this player, the clean-up will be quicker.
Those who see that this can happen to one at such a level, are jumping ship or offing themselves or turning “state’s evidence”. All of this helps the Alliance. All of this means a quicker ending to the battle. This you feel as agitation and change. It is not an easy vibe.
 
5.27.23
I was woken in the early morning hours. The following conversation took place:
It is the One.
Things have happened. We will discuss them now.
The controllers have been defeated. Their direct influence here is over. Their reign is finished.
What happens next is anyone’s guess. The human players of their games may or may not know of their defeat. What they do know however, is that they have everything to lose once they are discovered and outed. It’s up to Man to determine what will be done now. For the major force of the controllers is just gone.
You will see, and quite clearly now, who is promoting fear and division still. These will be humans who see no problem in capitalizing on fear; i.e., taking advantage of it to make money.
What will play out now will be most telling. What you should see, if you are to believe in the fact that there is an Alliance for “good” in charge – are major disclosures of all kinds.
The cabal is no longer a threat. The War has been won.
What happens now will be rapid and it will be a grand unveiling. Much will be apparent to those who know the Truth.
You will quickly discern each player’s loyalty, and see who or what is propelling them. It will be obvious.
This story plays out for years. Yet now, the motivation and desire of each one of you will be what is driving your life. This is the reason we focused so much (recently) on control of your conscious creative ability. It will be useful and will only expand in the atmosphere of today.
The battle is over. The light has won.
You are now “held down” only by those humans who sold their souls for profit and who have only their own protection and benefit as a driving force. Watch carefully. The playbook is about to get interesting.
This is what I wanted to tell you today. We will speak again.
That is all.
Thank you.

With deep appreciation,

It is the One.

Events transpire for you on your planet right now, that will alter the course of your life.  These are hidden from your eyes, as they must be, in order to assure that they can be completed.

They are not all captures. Some of these are rescues. What is being retrieved is not just people. What is being retrieved is also property. Property of the people. This has been stolen and hidden and kept by those who held the power here.

There are many things to which you will now have access. These will alter the course of your life.

Things like free access to energy and highly advanced medical technology are only a start. Methods for food preparation are available that will guarantee an end to hunger. There are advances in virtually every aspect of society. These will astound the senses and uplift as well as simplify your existence. Much has been kept from you, dear human.

You’ve been raised and bred to be work animals for a non-human species. This is the awful truth of it. Once you accept it as truth, everything that you’ve suffered through makes sense.

Religion was a tool used to instill in the population a reason for “suffering”. Many teach the fact that you are born with sin as part of your soul. You are marked before you are able to hold a conscious thought, and this contributes to the way you have accepted the conditions of your slavery. You are taught, very early on, that you are not worthy.

This life has been a stimulus to a remembering. You are here to remember your truth and to realize your core. You are the most brilliant of lights, favored in all of Creation.

You’ve chosen to be here, and your presence is a gift to Gaia as well as a much-needed boost for the race. The bravest, the strongest, the most brilliant; these words tell the truth of you.

You are about to complete this magnificent mission. You all feel it. There is a sense of peace and acceptance now for your role. It is that moment before stepping out onto the stage, when you take a deep breath, and center yourself.

It’s showtime, dear human, it’s showtime.

That is all.
 
Thank you.

Congratulations! You’ve made it and completed the Quest!

Let’s talk about what to do now that self-love is tangible. It could be argued that it is paramount to a contented life.

Right now, we are struggling with money (or the lack of it), and perhaps with relationships (due to radicalized differences of opinion). There have been losses on every front. These things rattle our inner peace.

Yet there is a fortitude that accompanies agape, and we know what that looks and feels like now. Our Quest led us here. Unconditional self-love keeps us standing in the roughest of storms.

It is for this reason that the Quest was held right now. We have been through times that have challenged every part of us, and we are still here! Our purpose is to maintain the light as we travel through this next part. Don’t doubt your strength. It’s real. It was one of the qualifications needed to incarnate right now.

It’s time for us to recognize that everyone here has decided to stay for a reason, and that everyone we encounter will benefit from our love and our light in some way. You may never know the effect it had, but you can be sure that it was beneficial. Self-love is fuel for agape. And agape is what is needed now.

The biggest crime that has occurred on planet earth is the installation of self-doubt into the race. If the Quest has left you with anything at all, let it be self-trust. You know truth when you see it.
You do know yourself.

Your first thought, feeling or instinct is a good one.

Your core truth is pure love.

Your inner essence is radiant light.

You are okay in every way, magnificent actually.

These things cannot be beaten away or hidden permanently by any false narrative or show of force. These things are who you are.

Fellow Questers, trust that you are worthwhile and know that you are love. Determine each day to share who you are with everyone you encounter. The world needs you. And you are here to love that world.

It will be difficult, in the coming days, to remain positive. When that happens, and you find yourself leaning towards sadness or despair, remember that you are loved absolutely, purely and unconditionally. You are valuable beyond measure; you are priceless.
Whatever this obstacle or pain may be, it is not too much for one such as you. You came to heal. You came to heal all of it.

Truth is so much more powerful than illusion. Once found, it rises to the top of every story you encounter. Truth becomes the beacon in the storm. Trust the feel of it, and know that when everything else is collapsing, Truth will not fall. Neither will love.

Healing starts with you. So, as you experience an eruption of anger or fear, breathe deeply and inhale agape. Feel that wave of self-acceptance washing over you. It may take a few breaths to fully restore you, but you are unstoppable now. This works! You are the essence of pure love.

One of the things that will occur is that once agape sinks deeply into your being, you’ll want to share it with everyone. The song chosen for today (see video below) expresses that feeling. It is joy.

As you listen, imagine that “everybody who came through that door” to be whomever it is you run into each day. For this life is meant to be love fest, not a fear fest. We are getting there and it is you that will help to guarantee that!
It is such a privilege to take this journey with you. It is your light that leads the way, and you are loved and appreciated more than you know.

Be gentle with your heart and generous with your light. You are remarkable and this precious life you are leading right now is uplifting our beautiful home. Nicely done.
​
With blessings and so much love,
Sophia

We are on Week #6, and it’s time to assess how it’s going. As you’ve been following along, attempting to explore your heart, you’ll no doubt have some observations. I know that I do.

You can look back six weeks ago, where we first discovered what it is we had lost, and notice how differently you are feeling today. Hopefully there is improvement. Also hopefully, you know what it is that you have been missing and how to supply it.

There’s this thing that happens when you feel unconditionally loved. It is like coming home. This is a place where it is all okay. This is that place that is safe and comfortable with a sense of permanence. You can relax here.

What happens when you get to this place is that you feel a mixture of peace, joy and excitement all at once.
You discover that you are free. There are no reasons to hide yourself, or conjure yourself, or pretend. The reasons to do so are imaginary. They don’t exist within unconditional love. The only thing that shows up there is truth.

You will see yourself with true sight through wide open eyes. Once experienced, you’ll know complete acceptance. You feel empowered. It is like standing naked in front of a crowd without embarrassment or shame or hesitation, completely confident that you’ll be seen truly, known absolutely with all of your inconsistencies, and loved beyond measure. What follows for you is a sense of validation and awareness of self.

This is you and you are worthy.

This is where sovereignty begins. You feel unstoppable when you begin always from a place of self-love. You know yourself. There are no surprises or reasons to doubt. Therefore, you do not require anyone else’s approval, acceptance or permission. You are all that and completely sure of that truth.
Complete self-acceptance is pure power. From here, you become emboldened to seek connection. And connection, fellow Questers, is where all the fun starts.

Connection is found through eye contact. We access each other’s core with our gaze. Our eyes are like portals to our souls. This connection can happen anywhere. In the checkout line, while signing for a package, on a walk, or at the ATM. It turns out, there are pairs of eyes everywhere!

Not all pairs will let you in, but you’d be surprised how many isolated souls are out there, willing to say hello. This is a Quest. A Quest for Love. Love is found in so many more places than you’ve imagined.

Consider the people you walk around and with each day as potential connections instead of strangers. It’s pretty amazing. Doing so turns errands, jobs and walks into adventures!

Seek now to find the eyes that are open to connection; open to accepting, sharing, oneness. Success happens in a nanosecond. No long-term commitment is required. This is an acknowledgement of each other, of the truth of each other. We are sacred and full of life. We are so much more than mom, dad, aunt, sister, brother, uncle, son, daughter, worker, student or citizen. We are brilliant bits of eternal essence.

Fellow Questers, you are the brave ones, risking rejection by opening your heart. In that moment of true sight, you are both explorer and guide. For as you show yourself fearlessly, others will see you and, just maybe, be emboldened to do the same.

Why?

Because they will have seen self-love embodied in you, and that is an uncommon and glorious sight! You are able to risk failure and non-acceptance because you don’t need it in order to feel love! You love yourself enough for everyone!

If another pair of eyes meets yours with their shields up and firmly secured, it’s okay. They just aren’t ready yet. They haven’t completed their own Quest. They just need more time. You have given them something to think about and a bit of encouragement. The earth didn’t open up and swallow you both. What happened was much better. In that brief moment of connection, your worth and their worth were both acknowledged. Everything is still in place.

If that other pair of eyes is ready? Watch out!

It’s going to feel remarkable. You will feel noticed. Once you do, it isn’t so lonely out there.

The thing about self-love is that it makes you stronger. It supplies you with courage to take risks; emotional risks. It inspires you to speak up; to speak truth. Self-love inspires you, period.

Contrary to mainstream nonsense, love does not weaken you. It makes you irresistible and unstoppable. Self-love is a knowing. It cannot be denied or discredited by any action or any other. It is raw and quiet power.

Once you know self-love, you’ll realize that it is all that you need. You become one with your life and you tend you move through your days with self-confidence.

Self-love is your super-power.

See you next week!
With so much love,
Sophia

Welcome back! We’ve made it to our 5th week! Congratulations! We’ve visited what you lost (self-love), how you misplaced it (fear), where it is most likely found (beneath posturing), and what to do once you discover its hiding place (stand your ground & look around). Today we’ll explore what happens when you stop playing hide and seek.

The reason for posturing is control. The loss of control increases the level of tension you feel physically and tightens your grip. Now that grip is needed if you’re hanging on to a ladder or a cliff, but not so much every day. You can let go a bit.

This self you’ve hidden exists, as does your love for him or her; your love for you. It is real. It is more real than the posturing, the thoughts and the costume you’ve hidden it behind. Those things are based on fear. As we’ve said before, fear is the reason you lost access to these things in the first place.

Today I’d like to keep it short. Because letting go is more easily done than discussed. What you will be letting go of is different for you than it is for me. However, the reason to hold on is universal. It is protection of some sort; protection of self. We all protect ourselves when we’re afraid.

If you persist in protecting/hiding yourself, there is no chance you’ll be seen and subsequently loved for who you are. It’s terrifyingly simple.
Remember, the “terrifying” part here was intentionally installed into your psyche (see earlier weeks of this Quest). It is not truth. The truth is that to allow and then to love yourself is a pure and radical act. It yields only joy.

We are on a Quest for Love. Let me share how mine is going. In the interest of authenticity, each week I dive into these words & methods. Whether or not I succeed, I continue on the next week and the next step. I do so in order to fully immerse myself in the Quest.

This week is letting go of pretense, so I’ve “come out” to two very important people in my life. Not in an “out of the closet” way, but in a “here I am with all of these faults” way.

This occurred during ordinary conversations. I made a decision to stop hiding and deliberately let myself be seen. I felt exposed, yet I persisted. There was no retreating into familiar hiding places. What happened was astounding and validating and lovely.
I can tell you that not only was there complete acceptance, but there was closeness in a way that never before existed. That soul-to-soul sort of connection occurred, and it left only bliss in its wake. This is the prize and the result of letting go – connection. It is extraordinary. If it were “ordinary”, there would be no reason for a Love Quest at all! It is worth repeating.

Connection is why we came. There is a rush of joy when you reach and see and touch another soul! This is not sexual. Physical contact is not necessary. It is beyond description. It is bliss. Once you feel it, you’ll want it again and again. It is way cooler than that hiding place of pretense is.

There is a feeling of contentment that arises when you know, without exception, that you are accepted. It is like being told you are allowed. Allowed to be, allowed to become, allowed to invent, allowed to dream, allowed to create, allowed to make mistakes, allowed to love. Self-love grants you permission.

And the place that you’ll find that permission is in the eyes and the hearts of everyone you encounter. We are mirrors for you. When you look with open eyes of love and acceptance, you’ll see love and acceptance mirrored right back at you. It’s all a reflection. It’s all you.

So, this week let go. Let go of whatever it is that you are holding onto; whatever is preventing self-love. Risk being exposed. Unless of course, it’s a literal cliff. Yet I suspect your cliff is as imaginary as mine, and that you’ll land softly and profoundly in a field of Oneness.

Once you do, you’ll wonder what took you so long!

See you next week, fellow Questers! It is an honor.

​With so much love,
Sophia

Hi everyone! Welcome to Week #4!
So far, we've looked at what it is that we lost (self-love), how we lost it (fear), and where we can most likely find it (hidden beneath posturing). This week we'll examine how to go about uncovering what's hidden.

After all, it was you who hid it there in the first place. You did so as a matter of survival in a constructed competitive society. You did so on the orders of a mandatory school system that ranked you according to some arbitrary scale of intelligence.

You've grown up in a world that taught you that your worth was not intrinsic, but instead something to be measured and ultimately judged. You learned that value was not something you had, but instead something that was decided by a score; a score given by someone else.  This score was kept in all the places where you showed up.

Test scores keep you in designated spaces according to performance. Credit scores punish or reward you with more or less debt, also according to rank. You get the idea.

Your worth, which was fully intact at birth, eroded and then morphed into pretend classifications that determined your place in society. Self-doubt emerged gradually to replace self-authority. As you think about this, remember that it was all done by design. It is not true.

Not knowing any better, you too adapted these standards of value that are listed on reports or evidenced in other public and humiliating ways.
Although these never felt accurate or natural, they were your only options.

To salvage some self-esteem, you joined the system at some point and some level. You may have done so alone, with self-destructive judgments and actions. You may have done so outwardly with blame, ridicule, or judgment. Somehow you bought into the fallacy that value could be determined by someone else.

This is a Quest for Love. It will be complete when we find it. This week let's look underneath the "rights" and the "wrongs" of people to discover their core. Love is found in the realization and acceptance of true value. It is a celebration of worth. The first place we'll look for that worth is inside.

Agape is something you grant yourself and then offer to another.

Realize that this was always about you. You've come here with many "others" to deal with and confront until self-recognition occurs. Once it does, your journey begins, and with clarity you see what there is to forgive.

True forgiveness is not situational. It becomes a constant until finally acceptance shows up.

You see, the Quest is for Love. Authentic Love has no exceptions or conditions. It merely is.

Once you identify all the "right" and "wrong" barriers stopping you, you move closer to forgiveness. The most treacherous step of this part of your journey is here. Bravery is demanded as you face your deepest fear; the fear that you are not worthy.

You've spent your life immersed in a system of ranking, skimming over that deep well of fear beneath you. Focused on either improving your score or pointing out someone else's, you've missed the treasure. The treasure is you.

Prepare yourself for this raw self-discovery. Arm yourself with the truth. The truth is that you are love in its purest form. You are a brilliant beacon of light. These are unchanging facts.
They are waiting in full authenticity to be recognized and utilized. They reside in your deepest self.

For this next week, notice when the "rights" and "wrongs" show up in your head, for either yourself or another. Just notice. If you catch one quickly enough, remind yourself of the truth (You are love, you are light, you are worthy.).

Be brave. Rather than insisting or persisting, try accepting. If you do, you'll have taken that treacherous step and find yourself one step closer to Love.

Your truth is found in the acceptance of self as is. You are so much more than you realize.

See you next week!
With so much love,
Sophia

Welcome to Week #3! In our first two weeks, we talked about what we’ve lost (self-love), and why we lost it (fear).
Today we’ll explore the places we can go to find it. As it turns out, there are a lot of them.

These are some scary places. They are places that no one wants to admit owning real estate in. Yet we all do, and we’ve all visited, if not lived there for a bit.

Here’s the thing. There are reasons for this. These have to do with the capture of earth’s society and the slavery system in which you live. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and you, my fellow Questers, have survived the most desperate of them all. The slave-owners made sure of that.

You see, in order to maintain order in a hierarchal system (slavery), submission and compliance must be assumed.
Without them there is chaos. (Which, by the way, is where we are now.)

Yet, this is a Quest for Self-Love and you’ll have to go back in time a bit to figure out where it is. It’s not actually gone, it’s hiding.

The brilliance of the slave-owner’s plan was in its construction. Ownership and the assumptions of submission and compliance were embedded into your day-to-day life. They are so thoroughly part of the cloth of society that they are indistinguishable from society itself. Think about these things:

Birth certificate
Mandatory vaccinations
Social security number
Mandatory schooling
Standardized tests
Working for a “living”
Pay/owe/debt/borrow
Income tax
Property tax
Interest

You are numbered, registered and injected at birth. If it stopped there, perhaps you’d develop into strong self-empowered adults without a hitch. But schooling and testing and more labeling ensued by age 5, and the pressure to conform became ingrained. So you did, to whatever extent you could stand. Conformity may offer temporary comfort, yet is an ultimately joyless enterprise.

In that joyless state, you sought truth. Do you remember what this is, and what you know absolutely in your soul? That you are a brilliant bit of love’s essence, with joy as your natural state. Unfortunately, there weren’t places offering guidance here. All of your fellow humans were similarly searching. You felt as if you were on your own.

From there and eventually, you went to the scary places. They promised fulfillment and happiness, yet left you empty. Here’s a few you may have visited:

Self-Importance
Revenge
Arrogance
Entitlement
Superiority
Pride
Contempt
Hatred and Justification
Embarrassment
Disappointment, a mirror for Expectations
Shame
Judgment
Blame

Each of these, in some way, improved how you felt for a moment or two, and then you were hollow. Remember that this Quest is a Quest for self-love, which is reflected in our love for all others.

The plan of the controllers is, at its core, a plan that denies your worth. Its genius is in the fact that in it, they never had to tell you that you were worthless. Society did. The society that was so carefully structured to hide its purpose; its purpose of control. What is the best way to keep someone controlled? Fear.
In such a state, you sought acknowledgment. In your seeking, you may have felt you found it by ranking yourself against some “other” who was “lesser” or “wrong” or somehow not as cool as you in some way. You learned to do these comparisons by the society that set them up. Remember that. “Failure is not an option”. You learned well.

The feeling of worthiness didn’t last. If you admitted to yourself honestly how you felt afterwards, it was “hollow”. The trophy or money or test score or status was great, but your heart still felt empty much of the time.

This emptiness is not because there’s something wrong with you. It’s because there’s everything right with you, and society doesn’t reflect that. This is by design. You feel it (self-worth), you know its true, and you’ve been convinced that to claim your value is somehow “wrong” or “arrogant” or “conceited”. These words are used to stop you.

It is not wrong to love yourself. It is not arrogant to value yourself. It is not conceited to know your worth. These things are truth. Holding them is self-authority.

So, if you’ve visited any of these scary places and/or used comparison to assign self-value, realize that it was in desperation that you did so. You were attempting to validate your truth. Forgive yourself. Remember who you are and love that self that is you.

See you next week.

Welcome to week # 2! If you haven’t seen the first post on our Quest, it’s right (here).

Last week we looked at what we’ve lost, and discovered that we’ve outsourced self-love. This week, let’s look at how that happened.

What does self-love look like? Self-definition, self-awareness, self-approval, self-acceptance, self-agreement, self-trust and self-empowered are all components. How, or better said, why would you outsource what is so very clearly yours? What would compel you to give these things to someone else?

In a word, it was FEAR. This Love Quest has been re-ignited because of that fear.

Do you remember when you first heard of the “coronavirus”? What were your very first feelings? 2020 was an emotional roller coaster. It seemed as if everything was in some state of destruction. From the first reports coming out of Wuhan to the summer of riots in the United States, to January 2021, it was a volatile year. That experience was chronicled (here) and (here).

Here's how we lost our self-authority, and misplaced self-love:

The initial shock de-stabilized us. With a quickly escalating sequence of terrible news, we lost our faith that there was “someone/something” out there, guaranteeing our well-being. We began to seek “someone/something” else to assure us that it would all be okay. We were looking for answers. Our self-knowing had been shattered. This was because part of self-knowing is self-trust. We didn’t know who we could trust. On some very deep level, we lost trust in ourselves.

2020 felt raw and lawless and angry. Regardless of who you were or where you lived, some part of you was left hanging out to dry, unprotected from gale-force winds. Remember that frayed cloth we referenced last week? That was you.

The shock of “world-wide out of control” was too much for your tender heart. It was battered beyond recognition and there was no “how-to” manual to tell you how to repair it.

Since then, you’ve been looking for someone else to put your heart back together. This “someone” cannot be the same person who was in control when it fell apart. Because clearly, whomever was taking care of things up until that pivotal year really didn’t have the whole story. For the sake of this discussion, that would be you. You’d lost trust in everything, including yourself. You needed a new plan.

Where has this left you?

It was shock that initiated this loss. It is fear and confusion that sustains it. You’ll have to move past both.
Whenever you feel fear or experience confusion, STOP. Take a breath and notice where you are going (internally) for relief. Are you quieting your mind? Are you reassuring yourself? Are you remembering your truth? Or, are you immediately seeking another voice or article as antidote?

These are relentless times. Inner quiet is hard to come by. Keeping busy with games or other distractions won’t stop the confusion or calm the fear. Only you can do that.

It makes sense that we’ve become a people seeking love and trust through social media and electronic devices.
That is the source of the shock that got us here. “Here” is a place where it seems convenient and effective to outsource validation, agreement and love. It may be expedient, that’s true, but it’s not helpful. Not when what you are attempting to do is to love yourself.

Self-love is felt. It’s not heard or witnessed. It is a rush that courses through you when truth is accessed. It can’t be replicated by any machine or reinforced by any other voice. It emerges. It emerges from within. It emerges from within you.

Self-love is a fragile, precious gem. It can be difficult to find and a challenge to authenticate in today’s noisy, invasive, media driven world.

What does it feel like to know self-love? How will you recognize it?

It’s feeling satisfied, feeling good enough. Not just with what you see in the mirror, but with that last text message you sent, that recent phone call, or the way you ended that last relationship. Because all of these are mirrors, and all of these are you.

Self-love takes that extra minute to do things the way that feels the best and most complete to you. Self-love leaves your signature on every interaction. It answers every question. It is unmistakable. Self-love recognizes that it all matters.

Self-love is quiet. It connects to nature, to life, to every “other” you encounter.
Self-love is this lens on your world-view that adds value to everything you are seeing. It is a recognition of self in your surroundings. It is a bolstering of control and a strengthening of truth.

Self-love is self-trust.

Self-love is not perfection. Self-love doesn’t ignore mistakes; it sees past them. To feel self-love is to feel humbled by its raw truth. Self-love accepts everything without condition.
Self-love is awesome in its reach.

Self-love sees through the coverings and into the core. Self-love is absolute Oneness.

 
This week, pay attention to moments where self-love shows up. Rather than disregard them as inconsequential, hold them close for a bit. Realize their fullness and value. Watch them and ponder them. Intend to repeat and explore them. Believe they will show up again and again. Look for them and when you discover them, expect to live there.

For self-love is where you’ll discover bliss, and that is where we are headed.

See you next week.

With so much love,
Sophia

This Quest for Love is a Quest for Self-Acceptance. So how do you get there? How do you accept yourself while you are so busy not accepting so many others?

Discovering how will occupy us for the next 7 weeks. I’m hoping to crawl deep into our broken hearts and mend them. I’m hoping you’ll join me on the journey, and contribute what you’ve found along the way.

Because if there is something I’m aware of post – Covid19 that I wasn’t fully aware of pre – Covid19, it’s this – We Cannot Do This Alone. Not with a “show” of support, as in mask wearing or flag flying. Instead, with something tangible, something real, something that pulls at your heart to offer, and that will touch our hearts when we receive it.

You see, we are in the last days of Polarity, and therefore Polarity is emblazoned everywhere we look. Like the last thing that you said to a loved one who then passed away – this moment now is announcing the end to us over and over and over again.
Division is all that we see, blame is all that we feel and judgment is our calling card.

And yes, there are plenty of people and policies that are asking to be judged. They are right on time.

For almost three years now we’ve all been in the process of loss. What we’ve lost is our innocence.

Before 2020, we held some deep-seated beliefs that no longer work.
These were unquestioned. They were so embedded in our world view that they were part of the cloth itself. They’d become invisible.

Since 2020 there’s been a gradual fraying of the fabric holding us together. Strand by strand our biases, beliefs and idiosyncrasies pulled away and showed themselves. In full color and separate now they can’t help but be noticed. If not by us, then by someone close to us.

This fraying and noticing asks us to self-examine. If we are lucky and aware of what is happening, this will propel us into growth. Growth, after all, is why we’re here.

The innocence for me is a very close relative of naivete. It looks like expectations and beliefs that, post 2020, no longer fit. I struggle with expressing these here because words don’t convey the intensity felt with the loss. But I’ll try.

As this is a Quest for love, I’ll focus there. What have we lost?

The false notion that we were okay, but that other people or programs were hurting us, ruining our otherwise happy life, and that if only those people or programs would change, we’d feel better.

In other words, we removed our part in the equation of love, and placed it beyond ourselves.

We out-sourced self-love. And this just isn’t how it works.

Now, it’s easier and maybe more efficient initially to do that. Someone or something else holds the blame for your unhappiness, so that you can work on what really matters to your self-image. Things like your career, your wardrobe, and your love-life. You do so in order to secure this happiness that you’ve been imagining was stolen from you by some “other”.

What’s happening now, and the reason for the Quest, is that those invisible fabric strands of beliefs we hold are now transparent and out there. They have exposed themselves in order to be accurately seen. This, so that the newly woven fabric of you, the one you are weaving now, will be put together with harmony and beauty and accuracy.

The journey to love begins where it will ultimately end. It begins here, in our deepest disappointment. This is a quiet place we don’t enjoy visiting much. Yet this Quest looks beneath every blaming and shameful notion. These are misunderstandings about self, about love, and about how it works. They are nothing more.

For you are not wrong, and you are worthy of love every time.

The best part of our circular journey is the power you’ll realize once you complete it.

It’s the misplacement of power onto other people and systems that has you so miserable. If someone or something beyond you can ruin your day, then you are powerless. On the other hand, if only you can improve your life, that means that you have more power than you have realized. What you’ll find at the end of our Quest won’t be disappointment. It will be joy. To get there, we’ll look under some very heavy perceptions, ideas and beliefs.

For our first week, contemplate the idea of “outsourcing self-love”. Think about the necessity of validation, reinforcement and agreement. Think about the definition of love. What are love’s attributes?

What you’ll do to start our Quest is just look at what you believe, what you expect, and what you know about self-acceptance and self-definition. When you regard the terms “self-acceptance” and “self-definition”, does anyone else show up in your mind?

I’ll share with you a peek into my own journey. Since 2019 I’ve experienced major losses in so many personal places that I’ve lost count. My self-definition is pretty much shattered and that’s because it was based on mirrors, which are quite fragile it turns out.

Today, I am sweeping up those shards of images to start with a clean slate.
This Quest will help to fill it with something that can’t be broken. I hope you’ll join me.

See you next week.

With so much love,
Sophia

A quick perusal of my own heart tells me that a Love Quest is once more appropriate. It’s been a decade, and many Quests have been held. It is for Love’s sake that these Quests will continue now…

The reason is simple. It is lack of self-love.

For we have grown and learned and advanced and we are conscious now.
Much of what was new to us ten years ago is old news to us today. Except for one thing. It is the critical element to our evolution and yet somehow, we’ve missed it.

It is easy to imagine that we didn’t. For love is pretty much all that we talk about. Truthers and citizen journalists regularly sign off with “love you” as part of their goodbye, and they mean it. This wasn’t the case a decade ago.

There is also a great deal of religious and righteous posturing accompanied with ideas about faith and truth. All of this in order to spread the “right” words or speak the “right” message or convince you of the “right” story about ___ (fill in the blank).

Here’s what is holding things up and it is doing so with a vengeance. It is judgment.

Perhaps we’ve missed it because it is so very close. Sort of the way you don’t see a speck of food on your cheek, yet everyone else can. You see, self-love is tricky that way. It sneaks in where you didn’t realize it could, and then sticks. It leaves gaping holes in the places where it isn’t.

Comments and conversations shared here lately are announcing a great deal of fear and self-loathing. Much of this, disguised as defensive arguments and blame. All of this, directed at those who matter to us the most. These could be family, friends, public officials we have trusted, or folks we follow on social media, it matters not. The only thing that matters today, is the blame. It is firmly planted in each disguise.

I believe that part of the reason for all of this delay and finger-pointing misery is lack of self-love. I believe that as a people, we’ve reached the real “dark night of the soul”. This is the moment where you look at each component of yourself or idea about your life that you are ashamed or afraid of, and realize you'll have to let it go. The Great Awakening happens within. It starts with us.

It’s not enough to tell strangers into a camera or on a screen that you love them. Not if what you are attempting is a true shift in consciousness. You’ve got to feel it so that you can emanate it. To do that, you’ve got to reach unconditional acceptance. I’m hoping we can get there with these upcoming Quests… Won't you join us?

I’ll post each article on the blog and all of my social media accounts. This will begin next week (8/22/22). The att. video (from 2017) mentions an event room on Facebook. That room will not be active in 2022. If you'd like to chat, all comments to this Quest should be posted on whichever platform you are reading. I’ll keep up with them all, and respond. I suspect that there will be one article a week.

Please know that it is because of all of you that we’ve gotten this far, and that whether you have accepted it yet or not, you are exceptional and loved beyond description.

We are so very close! You are the Ones you’ve been waiting for.

With love and light,
Sophia
