You Will Always Be Misunderstood

Here’s the thing…

The world isn’t going to know about your journey—not really, not everyone.

Your soul family will understand because they’ve been through it too. But the rest of the world and generations to come may have no conscious idea what you've experienced.

They won’t know all it took for you to dive deep into the very core of your being, drowning in the depths of centuries of collective soul sludge, gasping for breath from the trauma of your previous incarnations and the residual pain from the here and now.

They won’t know the strength it took to face yourself and the courage it took to change.

They won’t know.

For those in sacred partnerships, they won’t understand the mirror. They won’t understand the depth of love you have for each other and the golden hearts that lie beneath the triggers and the projections and what the world chooses to see on the surface. They won’t understand unless they experience it for themselves, but even then, they’ll experience it as something new.

Because it’s you who are clearing the way for the new template —sovereign and self-empowered in divine partnership with true, unconditional and unified love for another and all. They won’t understand the amount of courage it has taken to trust beyond what is seen and the force of love it has taken for you and your partner to shine light on the shadows of yourselves.

They won’t know.

They won’t know all of the meditations and attunements and healing sessions you’ve had. They won’t know the courses you’ve taken and the books you’ve read to look even deeper at who you are and why you are and how to expand into more than you thought possible so you can be of higher service to humanity.

They won’t ever read the hundreds of journal pages or hear the soulful conversations with your sisters and brothers who are also processing on this journey or see the days in bed integrating new energy and information or recognize the work you do in service to the whole.

They won’t know.

And that’s OK.

Because they’re not supposed to.

You’re changing the world, dear loves, with every pattern you break, with every conditioning you upend, with every choice that brings you closer to yourself and to God Source.

It’s so hard sometimes…

We’re burned out. We wonder why does it matter? Am I really being seen and heard and understood?

Is it really making a difference?

Consider yourself and how it makes a difference to you. You’re not who you used to be—and so many people in our lives won’t understand that either. They’ll see who they thought you were or who they assume you are. But you’re changing. You’re growing.

You’re expanding.

So the world changes, grows, expands too.

You're shining a light, my beloved friends. You're planting seeds for a garden that has no choice but to bloom. You're throwing ripples into the ocean of humanity.

Keep shining. Keep growing. Keep expanding.

Grant yourself some grace today.
