Well it is the last week of 2022 and I am glad to see this year end. This has been a tough year and in fact the last 3 years, starting in 2020, have been hard for everyone. I think we all agree that we saw things happen in the world that none of us ever thought would happen. We have been witness to a facet of the ascension cycle that I think we have not done yet and that is the widening energy gap between the dark and the light. It’s so wide now you could fly a jumbo jet through it and it is going to get even bigger in 2023. 

I believe that this is the part of ascension that we do not realize is a key element and a confirmation that we are making enormous progress, the very clear separation of dark and light. This is the dis-integration of 3D, something you have heard me talk about for many years. The byproduct of 3D dis-integration is chaos and we have evidence of it all around us. Because 3D’s main energies are power and control, and it is literally a house of cards that can tumble down with the slightest breath of awakening and truth, unleashing the chaos and making room for the light. 

Now this goes against what so many have described as the divinity, peace, and connection of ascension. From these interpretations we thought that ascension would be a happy, effortless journey into the land of unicorns and fairy dust. Instead of that we got separation, disconnection, rejection, betrayal, and a full frontal exposure to a dark world we never knew existed.

This final week of December 2022 ends with some of the same energy aspects as 2022 began. We have Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Capricorn, Mars retro in Gemini which is the opposite sign of Sagittarius, its January 2022 placement. In January 2022 Jupiter was at 1 Pisces and in December 22 it is at 2 Aries – another Alpha/Omega moment. The path of spiritual initiation is complete. 

We end as we began but far wiser, more aware, and more energetically aware, mature, and congruent than before. Our naivete and innocence may be gone but we have matured spiritually and graduated into a greater awareness of both the light and the polarity of the dark. We may look back longingly at the days where ‘ignorance is bliss’ and we could go through each day with total abandon and a lack of awareness. But ignorance is not bliss and everyone ignores the other half of that statement, ‘tis folly to be wise.’
