It’s a blessing + curse. You crave to know the depths of your Being and consequently you must live through hardcore turbulent waters. You can do it like a BOSS or hop off the SoulfulAF path. You have to do the work. I find that in the darkest moments I am forced to check in with my Soul. It’s the only way to move forward. You slowly begin to accept the DIP and then you FLIP IT when awareness knocks on the door. You save yourself. Awareness superseding Ego is VITAL. You begin to check in with the deepest part of your being and become aware that you are OK. Actually better than ok, you are Awareness, a part of Divinity.
Each time the veil is lifted you will be challenged. Growing pains hurt but ultimately they HEAL.
SoulfulAF path with dips trumps living an unconscious life!
