I had a breakfast appointment with a friend the other day. This particular friend and I have a lot in common because we share the experience of having been divorced. Both of us suffered forms of suppression and abuse in those relationships, and both of us seemed to have learned a great deal from our suffering. What hit me was that there are some very powerful lights here on Earth who apparently agreed to such a life before coming here.
We discussed the idea of being marked--bringing such light into our reality that darkness is attracted to it. Indeed, this is the way our world operates. It's sort of moth to a flame with the moth equating to the darkness. The only way that darkness can be transformed is by approaching the light, often to the point of being consumed by it.
We also talked about marriage to unequal partners and the fact that marrying someone who is not your equal can bring you down. Ending the relationship helps, but at what cost? It took me years of rebuilding to get back to my former self. I remember going in to the relationship knowing I was stronger and believing I had enough strength to help my partner through it. The thing is, you cannot fix someone who does not want to be fixed.
As I chatted with my friend, I realized the mutual theme here was the suppression of the divine feminine. Life on planet Earth has been about squashing all those qualities that are sacred in the feminine--intuition, caretaking, and unconditional love--qualities of the heart that women are so often drawn to. Even the rise of feminism has managed to suppress this divine feminine spirit as these heart qualities are ruled over by the more masculine powers of the mind. It isn't about bringing out the feminine. It's about becoming masculine to succeed in a very masculine world.
Those women like myself who have gone through this process of overcoming suppression have been sent through a refiner's fire. It's a process of cleaning out all that negativity and leaving the pure feminine heart intact. The gold that lies within can then be seen in all its strength, glory and power.
Arise from your graves and allow that light within to shine for the world to see. It is the refining process that has made you better! It is the refining process that makes you whole!
