A strange thing happens when an alcoholic becomes sober after years of abuse and neglect, frustration and pleading, their spouse is too full of resentment at the former alcoholic's sudden well-being. They get divorced. The alcoholic gets a fine young significant other and lives happily ever after while the more "righteous" spouse goes on in misery until they are consumed with resentment, bitterness and jealousy.
This is the danger for those of us who have been highly aware of our intuitive nature, just wishing for the new reality to relieve us of all those who are suffering and taking it out on us. One by one those who survive will be waking up one day suddenly thinking clearly with hearts full of love and understanding. They will greet us without guilt or shame, no regrets or apologies, no thanks or appreciation. They will come with all the same rights and all the same entitlements. They won't need our healing or advice.
Our exclusivity will be demolished as we validate: yes, the trees ARE whispering, yes your dog IS talking to you,yes, that IS what I am thinking and feeling.
They will arrive with all the innocence of newborn children completely unaware of the injuries we suffered at their hands. They won't even recognize our faces because in their state of walking sleep they never truly saw us to begin with.
We were their monsters in their closets. We were the monsters in the forest. We were manifestations of their inner demons and the things they did not want to acknowledge. We were their worst nightmares as we saw and knew everything, everything they believed was hidden, everything hiding in their closets.
"I'm so sorry. I know why you hated me. I know why I was so scary. Will you not come out from behind the trees?"
It very well may be the "agents of light" who are cast out into the "outer darkness" if we cannot embrace even the ego and all that we thought to be the root of evil as an equal expression of the Divine.
So we make peace with our abusers and love ALL of our neighbors, the path to which is unique to each of us. It may take us some time.
The entrance of the "others" into our reality can be the worst or best news ever! Ready or not: here they come!
