I get knocked down, but I get up again

Sooo, as I am wont to do, last night while journaling, I started to spiral… down. Does anyone spiral up? And, once I start going down… I go way down. I ended up listing all my frustrations, exaggerating them to the point where I even surprised myself at how terrible I thought my life is.

Believe me—my life is not terrible. I’m not sure why I make myself go there. Is it my diet? Am I dehydrated? Is it that the world has gone mad and I’m just feeling the collective ache?

So I went to bed, teary and defeated in my misery.

And then….

Today I remembered.

I remembered asking the Universe once if there is evil in the world. I wrote about it in this blog post: Good and Evil. To sum it up the Universe said “yes,” there is evil in the world, and it needs to come up for it to dissipate.  For the “higher vibration” to grab hold of it, to cleanse it, and get it the heck out of here. It won’t “get out of here” if it doesn’t come up.

And I made the connection. “As above, so below.” What rises in the world rises in us.

What happens on Earth—what plays out in our lives, what we witness—is for us. For our learning. For our experience. It isn’t random. It is a mirror.

Sooo,
If the world is purging its darkness, maybe I am too.
Maybe the negativity that surfaced last night wasn’t a breakdown—it was a release.

I’m not going to psychoanalyze it. I don’t need to trace it back to childhood or past lives. I just need to let it go. Because that is in everything I write.  Let it go!

Maybe the reason it keeps coming back is because I’ve been holding it in. Maybe it’s not wanting to haunt me forever—maybe it’s been trying to leave.

I was so excited to realize I’d made a connection between what I write and what I want to live. And isn’t that the whole point? Not just to seek—but to integrate? You know, practice what we preach? Practice what we learn?

My mother was a devout spiritual seeker. I have always vowed to go beyond that. (Believe me, I would not be anywhere close to where I am today spiritually if it wasn’t for my mother, so thank you mom for that.) But I know I want to take it a step further. I want to become what I believe. To be the change I want to see in myself (let alone the world)!

So now, will I be able to let go of this spiraling-down habit? We’ll see.  I believe I hit a nerve. I believe I made a connection, and I believe in myself. I think I’m on to something.

Last night I wanted to sleep forever.  But today I’m filled with a renewed sense of purpose. What if I can keep doing this? What if I can keep connecting what I write to how I live? I mean, how cool would that be? And of course, it would give me something to blog about.

And just so you don’t feel cheated.  Here’s a little channeled something:

Q,  Would the Universe like to add anything and/or validate my analysis of my aha moment today?

A. More like your revelation, your remembering. Don’t forget, or try not to forget, you are born with all of the knowledge of the Universe. All the tools needed for your life are within you. What you are in essence doing when you write, as you journal, is remembering what you already know. And that’s the goal of this particular time on Earth–to remember.  To make the connection. To reconnect. Not that you were ever not connected, you just forgot. And that is what your life is showing you as well. Like last week.  Just because you forgot about your magical weekend doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Once you remembered, you embodied the memories and since then have not forgotten. Your writings and your readings are all in your path to help you remember. And you are 100% right. Your purpose, everyone’s purpose, is to remember.

We are glad you are remembering.  You will be glad too.  Keep it up!

In Summary: A Spiral Shared by Souls Everywhere

What began as one person’s descent became a mirror for the collective experience. It’s about all of us living through a world in upheaval, trying to remember who we are in the noise, the grief, the forgetting.

Your spiral was not a detour. It was a blueprint. It shows how personal darkness mirrors the planetary purge. How the thoughts we don’t want to feel are the very ones asking to be released—not just by us individually, but by the whole of humanity learning to exhale lifetimes of suppression.

This is the time of the shift—from spiritual tourism to spiritual embodiment. From chasing peace to living it imperfectly. From “what does it mean?” to “how does it move through me?”

We are in this together. Because when one of us remembers how to let go, how to integrate, how to turn a spiral into a song—we all rise a little more.
