A card drawn at a party reinforces a purpose and a shifting consciousness

In August 2020, I “woke up”.

I hadn’t been in the deepest slumber possible, for I was aware of many incongruencies and incompatibilities between how the world was working and how it could be. I saw incompetence and unawareness which didn’t quite make sense, but I didn’t understand why or how it was so. This was especially evident on the part of government agencies that are responsible for doing the right thing when it comes to regulating food, drugs, environmental chemicals, etc. And especially blatant in healthcare. If I could know the harms, then why couldn’t they access this same information and extrapolate the deleterious effects on human health? I was blessed to have the lens of naturopathic medicine and all the possibilities it offered to view the quality of healthcare that most people were accessing and the less-than-optimal outcomes they received.

My point here is that I was aware on some level that something fishy was going on, but, in what basically defines the awake vs. asleep dichotomy, I wasn’t consciously aware that it was intentional, wed to corruption, and avoidable. (I highlight “consciously” because somewhere deep I knew the truth as we all deeply know the truth – whether or not we “know” it in our conscious minds determines what we do with it. This topic of “knowing” is for another day.)

So in August 2020, after 6 months of watching, nay… LIVING, the unfolding of the covid show, I experienced the abrupt, uncomfortable, realizing experience of waking up. I hadn’t anticipated it. I didn’t ask for it. And at first I wasn’t thrilled about it.

With the initial waking up, as if navigating a field before me peppered with rodent holes, I began a quest for information, determined to explore each and every rabbit hole across the landscape. As I made my way through various rabbit holes that opened up all kinds of horrible possibilities and intriguing counter-stories, I also became committed to following current events in a way that I never had before.

For a solid two years plus I read, watch, discussed, and shared every scrap of information and goings-on that I could. Not necessarily every possible broadcast that was out there, but a load that I felt I could handle.

Interestingly, at the same time that my awareness was opening to new connections, more controversy, and so many more stunning conclusions than I could have dreamed possible, I was also being showered with new perspective, new possibilities, new excitement, and a new hope. It was noticeable, a bit perplexing, and then completely reassuring that SO many people who were reporting distasteful and upsetting goings-on, were also talking about a spiritual battle concurrently happening on a grand universal stage in which forces of light and dark were duking it out.

Spiritual discussion had always been kept separate from secular “news” in mainstream society. Another example of “that’s just how it is” which I had accepted unquestioningly. But over the past few years people were starting to speak up, to incorporate the idea that we weren’t just here on this earth living a purely physical life, focusing on food, shelter, and work. We were spiritual beings with purpose and consciousness and we were here to have an integrated life. And, as some of these light-workers were now courageously expressing, we needed to SEE and start BEING, the spiritual manifestation of GOOD in our everyday lives. God wasn’t just for Sundays and mealtime prayers anymore!

For a long while I kept up on news and opinions and kept integrating it all into the bigger backdrop of good vs. evil, ever asking, “what is really going on here?” I am still doing this, but to a much lesser degree. In recent months, I just haven’t felt the pull as strongly, haven’t felt the interest as much, haven’t wanted to spend the time or energy on it so frequently. It’s curious because I can see and feel a definite shift in what I’m gravitating toward. I don’t want to listen to or read beloved sources anymore. I have a sense that for now I know what I need to know.

What I just learned is that this represents a shift in my consciousness. I, like many many others, am leveling up it seems.

What I AM feeling compelled to immerse myself in is anything and everything representative of the NEW. The new light. New earth. New humanity. The new energy. New possibilities. New frequencies.

In other words, I am ready to step away from focusing on understanding the problems and ready to more fully step into learning about, seeing, and becoming the solutions. And as I see it, this is more fully, on a daily basis, in ways both mundane and grand, engaging with the side of the spiritual equation that is GOODNESS.

What’s intriguing to me is that this isn’t an intellectual decision to do more of one and less of the other. I can actually FEEL it as an internal shift in desire, interest, and focus. This is a consciousness shift. Woohoo! You can’t force these things. It seems you just open to them and then willingly receive what’s there for you.

So why is this called “The Horseman”?

In the lovely way that the Universe communicates with us and sends us gifts, I was at a party a few weeks ago where a friend was inviting people to have an oracle card reading. Just ask a question, draw a card, read the meaning, and apply the significance to your circumstance. Fun!

I will keep my question private, but the answer I will share.

I drew “Horseman: Good news, caution, herald of change”.

And this is what it said:

Seven months ago I jumped into writing and publishing on Substack. Initially it was to have a platform that I could use to produce content in order to expand my reach, grow my business, and hone my voice. Rather quickly I realized that it was and is much more than that.

Writing is one vehicle that I can utilize to help spread the message of light, to help raise consciousness individually and collectively. It is one way that I can step into purpose. It is a bullhorn from the Universe.

I am me and I have a brain that puts words together and I have a heart that infuses the words with meaning and emotion. But I don’t think I make up everything that I am writing. Sometimes I just get things and know things and see a way to explain or connect things. That feels like it comes from somewhere outside of me (but really from within me because we are all One with the Universe remember). Yes, at times, it feels like the universal life force and consciousness speaks through me (not unlike the reporters who talk about the corrupt policies of the WHO and then follow it up with a call to human heart connection or community awakening).

For me, I am opening to my role as lightworker, healer, writer, changemaker, visionary, positive consciousness keeper, light-bringer, etc. The Universe sent a message via an oracle card that I am on the right track, i.e. the Horseman!

I hope that you, dear reader, receive the energy of love, light, and peace from the heart of the Universe via the channel of my heart that I intentionally infuse into my writing.

Thank you for being present to witness the powerful truths that are coming in for us right now!
