While on My Journey of Self-Awakening. It Will be a Pleasure to Meet You Here, at ILLUMINATION.
I see your light.
Hello! My name is Lindsay and we are meeting at a really exciting time in my life. I have reached the most beautiful, peaceful part of my journey of Self-Awakening, thus far.
There is an inner knowing and feeling (never felt before) — that I have just crossed a threshold — and I can “officially” announce, “I have arrived!”
Allow me to elaborate. This threshold is the boundary between my familiar, comfortable life and the new and unknown. It is almost always depicted physically as some kind of boundary or chasm. The physical boundary must be crossed — and always, the way back is destroyed, further self-isolating me from all I know.
EXCITING and SCARY! Crossing a threshold offers limitless possibilities. Who knows what might happen? Anticipation, excitement, hope, fear of the unknown.
It is about trusting life, showing up for the life that Life is giving me! Here is where the path to my higher consciousness begins, as I walk in Faith.
If you had met me just two years prior, my self-introduction would have been quite different as my journey of Self-Surrender was just beginning.
It has been a long, amazing, journey out of the dark, (generational family dysfunction that I write about), and into the Light,(Self-Discovery and Self-Healing that I cannot wait to write about!). And what a journey it has been, and has only just begun.
Several moons ago, we had 5 living generations of females; in conflict, in pain and suffering. And today we are 3 very powerful, cleaver, independent women. Two of which, it is my honor and responsibility to inspire; I have been entrusted with this younger generation to Self-Awaken their own unique spirits — remembering and discovering their True-Self’s path.
I love stepping into my new Self-Proclaimed, well deserved title as a, “Wise Elder.” — An older, influential member of my family, tribe, and community who is valued for her wisdom.
Illuminating the future generations is a quality of God and Universal Love that I accept and embrace.
“God does not live in structures of stone or brick. He lives in soft hearts warm with sympathy and fragrant with universal love.” Sathya Sai Baba
And so, ILLUMINATION, our paths have crossed. Your warm welcome with open arms and offerings of Synergy, Diversity, Serendipity and Fusion inspires and delights me, Thank you so much!
ILLMINATION Tribe, I so look forward to being inspired by many of you. And together as @ngoeke put it so elegantly, “What’s going to make our stories (as with life) unique is how we breathe our life, our person, our voice, our essence into it”.
“It is my wish, that you find parts of your-self in my words and they serve to ILLUMINATE your True-Self’s path.” Lindsay McGrail
