Self Empowerment – Santa Fe 2022 – Audio

All of us can feel that the ground is shifting, if not quaking, beneath our feet during these unprecedented times of Global Axial Shift. Just looking at each day’s news headlines can be enough to make one feel powerless, lost, and fearful of what’s to come next…

From Climate Change, the loss of basic rights, Democracies losing their footing worldwide, uncertain economies, and a world becoming increasingly challenged with what’s true vs. what’s Illusion – it’s clear that, as one Era ends, so that a new one can begin, we find ourselves caught in the gravity field of a Global Dark Night. And what is unique about this Global Dark Night and the universal survival challenges that it has activated is that, for each of us, it couldn’t feel more personal.

Yet, Dark Nights are not just a chaotic time of survival, and therefore psychological upheaval. Rather, they always contain at their core a Spiritual Crisis. Indeed, the Dark Night of the Soul is the archetypal spiritual journey of transformation.

Every Spiritual Crisis in Life is a choice point for personal growth and transformation. The true challenge that exists in every upheaval or life crossroads is whether we can engage our capacity to empower ourselves – or give in to fear. Every choice in life, no matter how benign or threatening that choice may seem, is just a disguise for yet another opportunity to choose self-empowerment over fear.
