42. RITE OF PASSAGE

SWIMMING TOWARDS THE HORIZON. THE OBSTACLE IS THE DOORWAY.

I will find a way through. I see the tests as markers of my inner power and strength.

An ancient gate stands at the brink of the open ocean, welcoming you into warm, celestial waters ahead. After swimming through lengths of tunnels and tides, it is a welcomed sign that you are moving in the right direction. To finally reach this portal may feel like the ultimate test at the very last stretch of a challenge - but there is a light ahead, and you can almost touch it, feel it, and taste it.

Notice if you experience a shift in values, as this next stage becomes filled with undeniable truths that were previously obscured. New light shines into the darkness as you move forward, and you are drawn to this warmth like a moth to a flame.

A rite of passage often appears when we are in the midst of passing through the shadows. Stepping over the threshold into the unknown, we are forced to move beyond fear, which is not always comfortable. The key is to find the light of potential within this challenge. To see how it feeds your strength and summons your brilliance. Life transformations help us soulfully evolve, much like the catapulting moments that trigger our growth beyond our control.

We do not grow just once, nor do we heal just once. Over and over again, each rite of passage comes with its own milestones and lessons. Some may feel small, while others appear insurmountable. These may guide us inward, deepening our connection to self; in other moments, they guide us outward, into spaces and experiences that make our world even larger. Either way, we awaken to new wonder. If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, or that a certain goal is too big, see this as an indication of the scope of your dreams. The currents always shift, and they are here to prepare you for this next vital stage.

Your feelings are the navigation points that help you move with perseverance. This is not meant to be easy, and time is of the essence. You may be challenged beyond belief, but to endure this last test, trusting that you are more than capable, is to prepare you for anything. Anchor into the intention of your spirit, and cross this next doorway into a new way of being.

What final challenge am I now working through?
