spiraling with the spiral
Hello friend, how does this present moment meet you?
In my first iteration of inspiral · lumin · essence a few months ago, I initially described it as “a multidimensional transmission inspiring, inlightening, insourcing your whole, unique essence in spiral rhythm with divine time”.
Spiral rhythm with divine time.
What does this mean?
Well, this week has offered a tangible example of my choice to flow in spiral rhythm with divine time, given that I'm writing to you now, on Saturday, rather than on Wednesday.
As I've hung out with the nature of reality and the reality of nature, I've gotten to remember the beautiful spiralic truth of what is.
My podcast is named spiraling with/in, my logo is a spiral, I have a Fibonacci sequence / golden spiral inspired tattoo, and I light up with a beaming smile every time I spot a twisted tree trunk or loop de loop vine. I love spirals! And I love that they're everywhere!
The spiral is intimately connected with the divine feminine, which is a genderless energy, quality, archetype that exists with/in every thing and being. While linearity is often associated with the divine masculine, which exists in harmonious relationship to the divine feminine.
The yin yang symbol offers a potent depiction of how these two energies both meet in the middle and contain one another.
Divine feminine is with/in divine masculine. Divine masculine is with/in divine feminine.
The spiral is with/in the line. The line is with/in the spiral.
Chaos is with/in order. Order is with/in chaos.
Flow is with/in form. Form is with/in flow.
Different and the same.
Spiral wisdom supports me in flowing with the twists and turns of life. As I encounter curves — divine “detours” — all the time. Moments where I'm driving on a windy mountain road, and I can't seem to see around the bend. Moments like this week, where my intuitive guidance (aka my divine GPS) led me to channel this transmission now, rather than when the linear mind expected me to.
With programming oriented towards linearity, the mind can flare up in discomfort, playing out patterns of fear-based preemptive, anticipatory control. Grasping at any semblance of solid ground, assurances, guarantees to feel safe and secure in the unknown of what's around the corner.
What's next? Where am I going? What's coming towards me? Why is this happening?
This can show up as dress rehearsing what's to come, planning and organizing, seeking extra validation that I'm where I'm meant to be, that I'm on the right track, that I'm doing everything right.
As the mind may experience the expectation — or perhaps desire — for existence to unfold along the straight and narrow. Preferring for life to be like driving along a straight open stretch of highway where I can see miles and miles in the distance. Where any approaching vehicle is spotted early and prepared for in advance. And perhaps changes are made in the present moment to avoid the potential future of encountering that vehicle.
In any flares of mental chitter chatter and anxiety-induced behavior, the programmed self is doing the best it can to ensure safety, security, wellness, success, joy, belonging, freedom, comfort, and love.
All is simply energy.
All is simply energy.
All is simply energy.
And I embrace these energies with gratitude for their sacred service to my wellbeing. Allowing them to dissolve into oneness of love.
For when I live from my multidimensional oneness with all that is, I remember that I am not only the human that is driving the car. I am also the car itself, the road, the path, the way, the map, the sky, the mountain.
I am not limited to that which the physical eyes can see. I can absolutely choose to see around the bends of life, if it's divinely aligned for me to do so. And even if I do connect with a visionary line of sight of what has been or what's to come, there are infinite possible paths from any given moment. Even if I see one potential unfolding, timelines shift as the spiral is spinning out in all directions.
As the cosmic wombspace of creative energy, the spiral is a portal for quantum leaps through space-time. And the spiral reminds me to release attachments to outcomes and let go of expectations for anything to unfold in any particular manner. I let go and flow.
I allow the divine wisdom of the spiral with/in to lead the way, inviting me again and again into experiencing the incredible magic of the present moment. That I am always exactly where I am meant to be. Here. Now.
The pandemic shook up the seemingly linear path of daily life and immersed most of the world in the spiraling momentum of now. Offering a collective physicalized opportunity to connect with the true spiral rhythms of nature — earthly nature, spiritual nature, human nature, individual nature.
What have you discovered about your individual rhythms through the divine immersion of the pandemic?
Are you choosing to flow with and/or resist against the curves, bends, twists, and turns of life?
What medicine is the spiral offering you now?
