The August Portal

Kali, by Lisa Iris

Transformation comes not with comfort but with raw sloughing and shedding. We are faced with the entirety of ourselves. Sometimes it shows up as memories from this life we would rather sweep under the cosmic rug. Whatever emotional or psychic pain this dredges up is a recapitulation of learning, so that we might experience new flow. It is an opportunity to be kind to ourselves in ways we have largely forgotten. No matter how much self-love we may have practiced or aspired to, this portal will test it. Today’s test is one of keeping still in the face of what shows up internally that we would rather run from. These memories, whether our own or not, bring up remorse and, potentially, self-flagellation. This is a key pivot in learning not to beat ourselves or anyone else … up. We no longer need to learn in this way.

The 8/8 gate is arbitrary. It feels real to so many because so much has been projected upon it. The portal is not at all arbitrary. This is an opening into the depths of our hearts. We are being shown the activities, the machinations, manipulations, and meanness of others and how we may have acted out these energies or allowed them to be projected onto us.

Today is an opportunity to drop the burden. Just. Let. Go.

We are faced with our own lack of kindness. And, it begins at home, with our relationship to Source. We each are an embodiment of Source Essence. We are not separate from the Source Essence that is the All, the Alpha, the Omega, and the Oneness of our Creatrix.

It is time to let go of what is purging. Don’t wrestle with it or become in any way enmeshed. Those were the lessons of life. A new life now begins.

Rather than ask, “What does this portal hold for me?” be still and receive the more of what you are. Your Presence is the message. What is the core truth of that light? Let it radiate through and from you, ‘oh nobly born.’ Just. Be.

If pain has come up, thank it for its message, no matter what discomfort it might bring. This is not martyrdom. That cycle has ended. Let what needs to surface do so. Sing it home. Sing it home.

We are blossoms in the hand of the Creatrix. We can safely unfold.

Infinite blessings ~

You’ve got this! xo
