Every Week A Little Death: Supernova

"Chance is but a name for Law not recognized." -- The Kybalion

We're living in a time of unprecedented chaos and uncertainty. Look around, and it seems like so many things are falling apart. Because they are.

And yet, everything in this universe operates according to primal principles or Universal Laws, and nothing can operate outside the Law.

That means that whether or not we like what's unfolding, it's unfolding in perfect accordance with the Law. 

Life never asks for our agreement or approval, it simply unfolds as a consequence of the Infinite Field of consciousness. But we often take issue with Life and what it's presenting us.

The Law of Rhythm describes the cyclic nature of all things; the in-breath and the out-breath, the tides that rise and fall, the seasons that come and go.

Embracing the natural rhythms of life is essential in finding peace through times of chaos, death, and endings.

In today's episode, I share with you what I've learned about surrendering to the cycles of life from the forge -- the one on our land, and the ones in the stars -- and the curious role of iron in the process of transformation, and the life cycle of a star.

Through cataclysmic change, a star can give birth to all the elements of the material world.

Similarly, we have the potential to birth a new self and alchemize our highest potential – if we, like the star, can die to be reborn.

Even in the midst of cataclysm, we can experience sukh: the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Why does it surpass all understanding? Because it arises naturally from within, independent of circumstances. It is a consequence of trust and surrender to the perfect order that operates in all things, from the corpuscle to the star.

And, stardust that we are, in us too.
