The Goddess Kali-Ma appeared to me in a dream over a month ago. When I saw her in my dream, she warned me of death to come. In my humanness, I awoke frightened and disturbed. I have since realized the death Kali-Ma had been referring to.
A lifelong pattern and program I have been consciously choosing to break is around people-pleasing. In my meditations for the weeks to follow after meeting Kali-Ma, I kept hearing "break the programs" over and over again. It was loud, direct, and simple.
A few weeks after meeting Kali-Ma in my dream, and while consciously choosing to let go of these genetic and ancestral programs, a tree collapsed in front of my house. This tree, had it fallen any more to the left or the right of where it landed, would've done serious damage to my property. The mere perfection of this death had me in awe. I have never seen death be so graceful, nor have I ever known it to truly be prior to this moment. On the day of the Spring Equinox, March 20th, I pulled the card of Kali-Ma while I was meditating. I continued to receive extended messages on death and rebirth. I received the wisdom, "There is truly no death, there is only the infinite completion of cycles where all is reborn and elevated, and reborn, and expanded, and reborn."
Yesterday the tree was cut up and removed from where it had fallen. The wood from that tree will serve us in heating our home. The tree did not die and simply end its life. It already transformed into its new purpose. Even as the tree was dying, the buds on the ends of the branches continued to bloom. Birds would land on the tree, and life all around it continued on. The tree was woven into every moment, not separate from any part of its surroundings.
When we dig our claws into what is lost, we hinder our sight of seeing the higher truths. We become immersed in pain, panic, fear, or loss itself. Sometimes that is exactly where we must be. There is a sacred process to grieving that should never be rationalized or minimized. It is one of the most precious experiences that we will embody. The grief will always offer an awakening to us, if we allow ourselves to be open to receiving it. If we dip our souls in the waters of transformation, higher truths are always revealed. We can see how loss serves our souls for greater expansion, deeper love, compassion, and forgiveness.
May each one of us be gentle with ourselves, as parts of us are continually dying to be reborn into its most enlightened potential.
Infinite love,
Laura
