Come to this banquet and feast. It is here where you’ll find what you’ve been looking for.

This moment now, the one that feels beyond your grasp? It is just what you’ve been expecting. It is all that you’ve been waiting for.

How could this be?

Dear, dear human. It is by your hand that this moment is crafted. It is with your intent that you feel as you do.

So deeply did you desire to assist and so eager were you for a visceral experience of your own evolution – that you ran to be first in line for this earth trip! And you’ve made it!

This far you’ve come, only to look around at your landscape and forget your own design?

The ego is a powerful paintbrush.

It holds onto each drop of color, knowing any minute the perfect placement will emerge. It waits, unpainted potential.

You notice, and hurriedly rush to coat it with, well, with you. Yet, right now those colors look wrong. No, not wrong yet out of place. Like the mustard yellows and olive greens of your grandmother’s kitchen.

These are yesterday’s hues… complaining, blaming, self-pity, self-absorption, righteousness, judgment, hoarding and hating. They no longer work.

Today requires a new pallet; more luminous and a bit less dense. Shades of understanding, patience, response, action, collaboration, humility, generosity and compassion create the look you seek.

These new colors need a skilled artist; yet this is why YOU hold the brush. Crises of the mind or health or heart or home or wallet require a gentler touch and a steady line. We can no longer merely layer and cover and hide what is there, no. Our light reflects and returns it all, brilliantly bouncing back our intentions. This is an opaque moment.

We see everything and decide with eyes wide open how it fits. Just what shades are necessary for it to feel as we envision?

This is your masterpiece. As others around you lament and judge and point and mourn and cry out, reach for your paintbrush to fashion the interpretation.

Tomorrow you’ll look back with a smile; satisfied and fulfilled while continually perfecting your craft. You are the ones you’ve been waiting for.
You have anchored the light. It is done.

With appreciation for all that you are,
Sophia

PS I heard the song below as I finished this post.

On this Valentine’s Day of 2019, there is something we all can do to illustrate our power.  Let’s send the Illuminati some love.  They won’t know what to do with it.  It may just change everything. 
 
Present in any organization are chains of command.  Those at the top are operating for a different purpose than those on the ground.  There is hope for them all.  We are here, every one of us, as a step in our own evolution.  Once we get here, free will takes over and we can proceed in any chosen direction.
 
Right now, we have the opportunity to ascend while we are physical.  It is a transformation physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  It is love, that when taken into your heart, will turn the key and unlock the door to Ascension. 
 
We have within us the potential for Agape – love without condition.  This love is beyond what we’ve come to expect from each other.  Agape makes no judgment about behavior.  It has no opinion.  Agape is truth.  It is the place from where we spring and our ultimate destination.
 
Before arriving here, our hope is that we’ll figure out how to demonstrate Agape as a human.  Here’s a chance to do just that.  Reach into your heart and just love the Illuminati.  All are human.  All need love in order to evolve.
 
What’s happened is over – it’s the future I’m interested in.  Here is where we can effect change.  We can love.  It is the most powerful tool in our arsenal.  It is the only thing they won’t expect.  It will be their undoing.
 
With every ounce of generosity and sincerity you have, send love to our oppressors.  Whenever it occurs to you and as often as possible, see them surrounded in a hug with seven billion pairs of arms.
 
Love anyway.  In giving you will receive the greatest gifts.  It is by loving that the deepest truths are known. 
 
What is love?

Love is what you are.  It is the foundation.

Nothing exists, if not for love.

It is the origin, the beginning, the starting point, the only point.

Love becomes all that you are once you have been everything else.

Love is the ground you walk, the air you inhale.
You cannot, will not, escape this truth.
It has no roots in fantasy.

Love is not a thing to be described by action. 
Love is the force that in its expression exists.

You will not look from your vantage point, and point to this one and say “There, that is love. I’ve found it.” While then pointing to a less pleasing one and say “There, that is the opposite of love.”

That is not how it works.

For in non-human form, where manifestation is without (outside) control or outside manipulation for power – it becomes an easy thing to declare and notice – love. In that state, contrast does not blur vision.

Here, now, most especially for you who have loved and do love your imperfect versions, you are now able to stand unencumbered and love.
What will you do?

For love is not the deciding factor in action – choice is.
The deciding factor in action, is you.

What this means, dear, dear human, is that while you struggle with anger and revulsion and self-pity and blame and guilt and affection and desire and happiness – you are deciding what love looks like through you, NOT what love is.

Every action, and its result, is a co-creation.
Every single one.

You cannot hate so deeply that love is expunged. Love exists within every particle of life.

You can act in a way that is hateful, yet you are love.

You do not choose who to love or how to love.  Instead – you choose how to be.
Be loving.
With everyone and all of life, including yourself.
The opinions and reasons do not matter – all that is left is what you did.
​
You are love.
When you see each other as love, you will see clearly.
 
We are the One we are waiting for. Have a great Valentine’s Day.
 
With appreciation for all that you are,
Sophia

Consider the meaning of complete*
  *(Please see the previous post, as this is an ongoing discussion.)
Complete: “To bring to an end, & especially in a perfected state
            To mark the end of
            To fulfill
            To make whole or perfect”
And consider the meaning of define: “To identify the essential qualities of
            To discover the meaning of
            To mark the limits of
            To make distinct; distinguish”

​Within these descriptors sits the basis for our pain and confusion in love relationships. Words are powerful. They contain and emit an energy and emotion. Emotion is the fuel for creation. Therefore, carefully (or hastily) chosen words can harm us or help rebuild us in real time.

What I suspect happened with our cultural expectation and definition of romantic love, is that it was blurred when passion took over.
Things get a little foggy in that playground. When chemically attracted, physical love is overwhelming. It tells our body “THIS IS IT!! THIS IS THE ONE!!! EUREKA!!!! I’VE FINALLY FOUND HER/HIM!!!!!”  All of that sounds like “You complete me”, doesn’t it?

Then, when the intense heat of immediate passion slows down, and our glasses become unfoggy… expectations for completion, fulfillment and perfection continue. If there is continued curiosity, and the relationship is ongoing, it may show up within the framework of “Now, how else can you fulfill me, or make me whole or bring my life to a perfected state?” In other words, EXPECTATIONS.

All of these fit perfectly into our cultural dialogue around “true love”. We don’t believe it is supposed to be any other way. It’s what all of the stories say. We haven’t been told there is any other ending besides “and they lived happily ever after”. This assumes we are together in the same home raising a few children, maybe some pets, and eventually “retiring” while holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes.

What is never said is that love, both the blinding passionate kind described here, and any other instant deep connection to our essence, exists outside of that happily ever after. It operates independently of any agreements, ages, laws or contracts. This, the mystery and wonder and limitless nature of actual love, has not been allowed into the dialogue of “happily every after”. The result? We become very confused about how happy we are and how happy we “should be” with the love showing up in our lives.

I remember once hearing or reading, (and I don’t remember where or from whom), that religion was first invented to keep the humans from fornicating all the time! Nothing was getting done!  They were too damn happy! So, some authority showed up and defined the people and places where it was okay and “allowed” to express physical passion. I suspect that along with that bunch of rules came a whole lot of guilt, lying and internal confusion. But that’s another post.

For this post, what is being said is that, and especially in these new and powerful energies sweeping over our planet right now, if given a choice in defining what a romantic relationship does for you, which would you choose?
​
One that brings you to an end or one that marks your distinct and essential qualities?
One that fulfills you or one that discovers the meaning of you?
One that completes you in a perfected state or one that distinguishes you as who you are?
One that makes you whole or one that marks the limits you are actualizing right now?

The first definition does not allow for much creativity or growth or even permission to be someone else. The second sounds a bit frightening but ever-expanding and ultimately free.

I get that it sounds so romantic to have the first sort of relationship. I do. It sounds like the answer we are looking for, the fairy tale ending, the solution to our pain.  What I am attempting to introduce here is that you CAN have those feelings, every single one of them, and you don’t need another person to supply them. They are available right now. They are found within you. They exist in your heart; the most powerful organ in your body.

They exist because you do. Once you figure out how to access them? The confusion will dissipate. Your eyes will see clearly, regardless of how foggy your glasses may become. And, you will enjoy a consistent level of deep connection (which is love), as well as, and right beside successful and ongoing relationships all over the place.

There is so much unhappiness around love and it begins with our expectations for what it is supposed to be. If we expect it to come from one person and we expect it to complete us, we will be consistently disappointed because we are complete unto ourselves. When we think of it as defining us, then all love becomes a useful tool in the living of our lives.

We are mirrors for each other, and romantic love provides for us a beautiful framework in which to surround our essence, and see ourselves clearly. Just as our school pictures change as we grow, so too will our love-frames alter the image we see in the mirror, as new parts of ourselves are revealed. These new parts of us show themselves inside of each relationship and remind us of our limitless nature.

Love is huge.

What you must do is trust. Trust that internal barometer that indicates your constant fluctuations of emotion. Know that some of those feelings are showing up as reactions (which tells you it is something external as the trigger), while other sentiments are genuine responses to truth (which is more of an eruption and begins within). Listen to your body’s messages.

We started by saying we are complete unto ourselves. We’ve moved into saying yes and it is in relationship to “other” that we are defined. If we remember that all others exist because we are here to become all that we are choosing to be, we’ll realize that we need mirrors along the road. We are each other’s reminders.

Those mirrors, the clearest ones, are our romantic loves.  These are our self-chosen mirrors; cues we’ve placed in front of ourselves, so that we can see what love looks like. It always looks precisely like us. That’s how mirrors work.
There is still a bit more to say… and next week will be the perfect time to say it.

You are the one you’ve been waiting for.

What is it to love?

Is it possible that our very insides have confused us? Has love’s true nature been camouflaged within something else? Have we somehow been deceived into expectations of love’s existence, rather than comforted by love’s true expression?

What is love anyway?

You’ve heard, possibly, that love is what you are, that love is synonymous with light and that love is the core truth of you; your very essence. But, what does all of that even mean?

A year ago, the daily love notes began to be delivered. It was felt then, that we could all use a little more love. They are written in batches, composed with emotion and infused with compassion. As much energy as can be compacted into those daily 70 characters, is included within each phrase. I meditate within, focus on, and then write – love.

Because of this process, and your response to the result, I’ll speak now about what I’ve noticed.
About love.

I’ve noticed, and please hang in there for this, that love really doesn’t depend on anyone else.
Love is literally there for you 24/7. Whether or not you absorb it, feel it, notice it or even glance in its direction – is all on you. Love exists regardless.

It’s always here, inside, and whether or not I conjure it up for a batch of love notes, a kiss for my partner or a hug for my son does not deplete it.

This is what I’ve learned. I’ve learned that love is real. It doesn’t depend on any other in order to exist. Not exist as a sentimental and separate component of a specific relationship. No. It stands unencumbered by drama, unchained with expectations and free.

What love looks like is misunderstood, often. In both story and film, love is painted with absorbing colors that mix together to become sort of a single-toned mess. In our current language of oneness, it is a challenge to define love as a thing that can be defined in any tangible way.

Yet, in human relationships, there must be borders and clarity. We have defined these as borders to our love. They have become separators in this current definition. And here is where the confusion begins.

Love is massive, everywhere, and beyond definition. Like the air, you only need to breathe it in and allow its release.

Relationships, by definition, exist between two separate unique individuals. The only way they work is when each of the partners establish boundaries and rules for their crossing. If the rules aren’t followed, the boundaries fail, and the relationship eventually follows suit.

What I’m attempting to say here, is that it is not the love that needs the boundaries in order to exist – IT IS THE RELATIONSHIP. The love exists regardless. This is where it gets complicated and we can become confused. Relationships are a choice and have definitions. Love? It exists.

No one completes you. You are complete unto yourself.

Admittedly, you’d be in a rough place, as a 3D person, to understand what love was without its expression, and its expression occurs in relationship.  All successful and healthy relationships have boundaries.

The boundaries are essential for the people. They are necessary so that love’s expression is sent where it is directed, and so that it is viscerally felt when it lands. They are not essential for the love, or defining the love, or measuring the love, or reducing the love.  The love exists regardless.

The participants inside of the relationship are not one, they are two. They can stand intertwined, as in the meshing of our fingers together when we pray. Or they can stand beside one another, which is another way our hands come together in prayer. In either case, a prayer is indicated. Do you see?

There is more to say, yet not today… Next time we’ll explore the nature of love and the differences in its expression; there are vast fields of expression inside of relationship, all of them valid, each of them love. Which relationship we choose does not diminish or enhance our ability to love. It instead indicates what parts of ourselves we are interested in unpacking and where we’d like to put those parts.

Just know that it is okay to need help in your personal relationships. You may want assistance not because you don’t have love or are without worth or unlovable or just weird – but because relationships by definition require two separate individuals. Individuals come with baggage and unpacking all of that takes time.

The love? It is there always. You’ll decide inside each and every relationship just how much of it you want to unload and expose. Trust.

You are the one you’ve been waiting for.
