The 5 Stages To Enlightenment

The January 11^th new moon sparked the energy of the first portal activation for 2024. The 1:11 angel number started radiating its magical properties by awakening your attention to the progress of your spiritual journey. Anytime a number is tripled, it is a message from the higher realms to be alert and aware of what you desire to manifest. Align yourself with the most positive of intentions, feel the reward of succeeding in your efforts, and let the thought go… knowing it will come to fruition.

As you release more of the energy that keeps you small and limited, which includes changing old ways of doing things and ending outdated thinking patterns, you invite movement and clarity in your life purpose. This process graciously opens the door to walk your path in new directions. This decision the old feelings of unworthiness and lack that were once based on external validation.  

Welcome and embrace the 1:11 paradigm shift and activation because it signals the time for a new upgrade as you prepare to clear and raise your vibration to explore new codes of consciousness. This process illuminates the planet for the coming year.

Because of the evolving ascension code timelines, many of us are experiencing loss, change, and deep interpersonal transformation. 

Align with the Universal Truth and Law of Impermanence

We are being asked to align with the Universal Truth and Law of Impermanence which states that nothing lasts forever. This means that the good times will eventually end, and the bad times eventually perish as well. The only constant in the 3D world is change, movement, and transformation.

You are evolving in this everlasting journey of the ascension process. What no longer resonates with your vibration will merge out of your life gracefully or by force. Clinging to the old only invites more suffering and prolonged discomfort.

How to move forward is unique to every individual but the necessity of staying fluid is common for everyone on a Spiritual journey. There is no easy fix for the grieving process that must be allowed to flow like a river of emotions through you.

You must honor the uncomfortable feelings that your attachment to people, places, events, and circumstances has formed and appreciate the process of living life through your heart body. The Buddhist word for this is called “unattached appreciation.”

Yes, appreciate that you are human and are becoming a light body. Heal the feelings of humiliation, rejection, betrayal, and abandonment, feel the fear, and choose faith even if you don’t understand the process of the Universe. Trust that you are always being guided, supported, and loved.

The dark night of the soul

The dark night of the soul happens just before enlightenment or a revelation, when everything is lost and seems dark. This can look like a major depressive episode and life shattering time in your life.

Going through the dark night of the soul has you living in your shadow and feels like the lowest soul adventure known to our human experience.

It comes with withdrawing from the world and even the people around you. It shatters your belief system and sends you basically into a tailspin of identity crisis. Everything you once believed in, everything that held your world in place is now in question because you have adopted and claimed a different perception than what you had in the past.

To some who are unaware of this cycle, may not realize that you will eventually come out of the darkness. It is just a stage one must go through to become truly enlightened.

During this time is where evolving individuals do Shadow Work – which uncovers a lot of unhealed trauma and painful aspects of oneself.

When approaching shadow work, it is important to realize that everything is not meant to be “love and light” 24/7.

The healing journey

Having this expectation of the healing journey will only set you up for massive disappointment, because much of the dark night journey involves exploring and coming to terms with some of the deepest and darkest parts of yourself.

Learning how to balance your shadow self with love and Source light is the path to truly maximize the healing journey.

Being too far on either side can be discerning and prevent you from doing the work necessary to connect to your highest good.

Do not be afraid of the dark.

Embrace and understand it.

To be enlightened, you must respect the illusion.

Real shadow work does not leave you intact and feeling whole; it is not a precise, neat, and tidy process but rather an inherently messy one. The course of development has you recognize the pain and dismantle aspects of your personality that no longer serves you. This will leave you feeling disconnected…
