When our first official spiritual meeting had adjourned, I found myself feeling raw and seen. At first my tears were cathartic but in the wake of them, once everyone’s arms were no longer wrapped around me, I found myself feeling too exposed. It had been easier to tell them all my other secrets than to cry in front of them. Because tears told the full story. It revealed to them that I had been far more scarred by my past than I had let on. It solidified that I had walked through so much of my life alone, and in truth, every step had scared me. It disclosed that there was still a frightened child inside of me looking for help, or even a simple hug. And finally acquiring that simple hug broke down so many of my carefully placed barriers. It dissipated lies that I had needed to tell myself when I had no one. I found it hard to meet anyone’s gaze and quickly wiped away the evidence that I had been so vulnerable. Which was hypocritical of me when I had seen just about everyone here in similar states.

“This is what you meant? About it not always being easy?” DeAndre smiled softly when I turned away.

I laughed quietly as I gathered myself.

“Yeah. Vulnerability, transparency, authenticity. They are the three values I hold closest to my heart. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t put me in a chokehold every now and then,” I smiled sadly.

Taylor laughed and intertwined my fingers with her own.

“In the same way you have made space for us to be the emotional creatures that we are, just remember that you deserve the same too,” Taylor whispered.

Tears threatened again as I felt her courage and love seep into me through our tethers. She winked at me as goosebumps appeared along my arm. Taylor was now aware of my ability to feel energy, and she was using it in the same way I had, to aid another soul that felt overwhelmed.

“Thank you,” I croaked out.

She shook her head, “No thanks necessary. Just doing my part to help out.”

I laughed around my tears. Another person was stealing my line. I sent a glare Daniel’s way but that just made him chuckle all the more.

After I had given them all a final hug and promised to see them at dinner, I slipped back to my room for some good old-fashioned meditation. But I found that the darkness of my room wasn't as welcoming as I thought it would be. Overlooking my fuzzy black rug, I headed to my new clothes bin and pulled out a soft, black, ankle length maxi dress and fresh undergarments.

Removing my sweaty pajamas reminded me of the grand flash that had taken place just a few hours ago. My body could no longer remember the pain it suffered when the golden waves had passed through it, but I could still recall my own blood curdling cries. It was a hell of an ascension process, and even now my skin felt as if it was stretched too tightly over bone. I wondered if that was an ascension symptom that would need a few days to fully wear off.

Come to us. Come.

I turned to my right and listened as the words whispered through the stone walls. The angelic voices sent shivers along my skin in the most welcoming way. I moved quickly to get my fresh clothes on and brushed my curls into a fluffy ponytail.

Come. We want to show you.

Without any more delay, I ran barefoot into the main tunnel and then out into the midday sunlight. Stepping into the sun for the second time was just as magical as the first. The energy enveloped me like a warm hug, as if welcoming me home after a long time abroad. And I guess I sort of was. This particular energy had only been sent in small doses to the old world through geomagnetic storms and solar flares. It did this to get those that were awakening accustomed to the vibrational shifts it caused, and to also prepare us to walk in this ‘hell’ as Daniel so eloquently put it. This ‘hell’ though was New Earth, Gaia, and because of third eye activation I could see it in all its glory. Home was here now.
