James Baldwin said “love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without & know we cannot live within.” Read that again.
I think every death & rebirth begins with an unmasking. Which is the decision to love ourselves a little more. To honor, respect, & accept ourselves & our truth a little bit more.
Enough to release something our hearts know cannot come forward. Thus opening the door for us to become something more.
You may be eager to become, to evolve, to reach your next level. You may be exerting a lot of energy to do so. However your evolution won’t be achieved through force, it will be allowed to unfold through love.
The masks which protected you for so long must be removed with patience, understanding, gentleness, and love. Because there are parts of you, still afraid, peeking from behind those worn out masks.
Those worn out identities, habits, relationships, & beliefs; wondering, if it’s safe for her to come out & play. If you’re finally ready to recieve her. To believe in her strength & ability to adapt.
When we are truly living in love, our frequency naturally raises to the point where everything not aligned with it falls away. There is no thing for the misalignment to resonate with or cling onto.
Therefore, if you are still clinging to things, people, masks that are not alignment, it is an invitation to invite more love into where there is a wound. There is a very practical way to do so, which we will cover in our From Shadow to Superpower ceremony.
It is love for yourself that brought you to this point & love that will continue to facilitate the embodiment of your power.
Reflect: Within my current transformation, what mask is ready to be loved off? What part of me has been exiled, hiding behind this mask & how can I nurture her forward? What am I afraid might happen if I do? This is where the work is.
