"How do I achieve that singular alignment of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy in such a potent form?" I think this is what ritual or ceremony beckons us to ask. Once we leave the ritual, the fire is out, but how do we take what we've experienced and learn and move forward with it? My thought is, we can only move with it. We might not know when we are even using it, but there might be a moment or two that when we do need all of it, it'll be there. Comfort in silent places. If we have learned from it, and are really open to it (which is a journey in itself) we might not ever know for sure how it has impacted us or how we might pass on what we've learned to others. What a wonderful experience, thanks for sharing it with all of us.

I quite agree with your statements. I might add that at this time energies are accelerated with the ongoing earth changes. Older systems that have worked well for a long time historically are being in some instances superseded by newer processes that work with the accelerating incoming energy. It can be a challenge to recognize how to work with them effectively, but that is our current task. Known road maps are tossed a bit askew at this time... Lexi Andrea,

I think when we contemplate the place of the guru in our own spiritual journey, the question you ask "how do I use what I have seen on my own path?" is so essential! We used to follow gurus without question - that's where we were in our spiritual development. But with the acceleration of growth that we are all feeling, it is now essential to integrate the teachings of others and find our unique way. Gurus are still an amazing resource, but their role is to offer us pieces of a puzzle that we have to put together ourselves to create our own version of the "big picture." I think in asking that question - how will it all integrate for me? - we are opening ourselves up to inner wisdom, which complements external teachings. It takes a lot more courage, I think, to find our own path. There's a degree of safety in following a clearly prescribed path that someone else has already trod. We're being challenged to trust our own Spirit and inner wisdom and find the way that is uniquely our own. Thanks for the inspiration! Blessings, Andrea Great article, Lexi!
