Welcome And Core Message

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Blessings and welcome to the Ascension Alchemist Podcast. It is your host, Reverend Honey Borden, and I welcome you with all my heart to this amazing community of those who are daring to embody their ascension, to walk their eternal Christ light, be a blessing to this world, be a blessing in their life, and truly deliver heaven here on earth. It is very real. We're doing it, we're alchemizing it, we're walking in, and we're walking with those who are believers, who are faithful, who have true conviction, and they know that together we will deliver this. It is much more than spirituality, it is true conviction, and it does not have the rigidness of religion. It is truth being embodied. So if you have wanted to bridge these worlds, this is the home. We're living it together and walking it with you. So welcome. Welcome to ah this fresh breath of air that I am taking. So right this moment as I am recording this, we literally, literally just got back from Florida, 16 hours drive. We dropped off these big ginormous crystals at my mother's house. We took the bins in the car that in the minivan that we had rented, put in my son's house, came back home, brought Juju Berry back, and sat down, just sat down to have tea and now let me open up my presents for the birthday presents that our friends gave down in Florida. Just as we sat down, I said, Oh my goodness, Michael, I have to record a podcast for tomorrow. So here I am. Here I am with you. And from this place where I'm feeling so grateful. When Michael and I were sitting on the couch, I was like, Michael, I'm so grateful. I feel so grateful. For those of you who watched our Instagram and Facebook, you saw we arrived on Wednesday to Tampa, rented the minivan straight to the storage. We had three days to clear the storage, and this was a 10x5 storage. We've been downsizing and downsizing. And we had two events. One was Thursday night with Michael's Sacred Men's circle, and Friday was my birthday party. And I wanted my birthday celebration to be very different. I had the intention to take these very beautiful sacred objects we have, part of our altars, all these places on earth that Michael and I have traveled together individually. What we have collected over these six major altars that we had over the years, downsizing, downsizing, taking taking these pieces so intentionally, put them in bags, separate them. And not just gift, yet overflowing gift to our friends. Go way and about, give them like they've never experienced before. So as I'm recording this, and you're going to hear it tomorrow morning, I feel so fulfilled. My human feels my human is exhausted, yet on the inside it also feels so fulfilled, victorious, success, achieved, and so joyous because the presence of God the Almighty was so evident on this trip. From the moment we landed in Tampa, where the minivan that we had gotten was not quite the seats, didn't go down. And this gentleman came, changed our minivan with this phenomenal minivan, with even like sunroof and and such large space. And we know the mighty hands of God Almighty had ordained this. And we organized it. I asked God, I said, God, just help us in the best way you can in every step, make it super efficient, effortless. And that's exactly how these four days were. We needed to, we've forgotten what we had in there, so we had to get in there. And I just, my only thing was this one major painting that I have that is a Krishna painting that a friend of mine from his family heirloom had gifted it to me. It is like over$15,000. It's it's incredible if I'm gonna be putting it up for sale. And because it serves its purpose. And I knew I needed to bring that back on her untouched. So that was a major responsibility. And so to be able to have these three days so efficient, while Michael really wanted to get to the beach, Cister Beach, you know how much he loves that beach, and be able to prepare everything for his men's circle, for us to pack things and drop them off at friends' house. It was incredible what we were able to fulfill in these three and a half days. Saturday was a half day, and then making our drive back. Why I'm sharing the fulfillment of success and victory that I feel on the inside is because I have also done moves packing up where I have felt so stressed. I have done moves where my whole nervous system is wiped out, exhausted. Just as I'm sure you all have. The difference with this was because of the way I invited God Almighty to take the wheels, to handle it. Also invite my call to be intentional with inviting God Almighty in to handle this process. We experienced a very different experience. It was jam-packed, two major events, yet we nailed it, and it is amazing, even the 16-hour drive, the way everything worked out. There was such an ease, there was such a flow, there was such a just incredible, incredible peace and love along the way, which is very different than some of the trips. We've done this trip numerous times from Florida back to Washington, DC, and from Washington, DC to Florida to Sarasota. So it feels so amazing because of this part. And I'm always amazed when I'm doing something, when I'm doing it on my own, my human self, how challenging things are. And my interpretation for my human self is very challenging. Yet when I invite God Almighty into my day, how much easier it is, how much more fluid is, how much more efficient it is, how much greater the success is and the flow of it. So I feel so grateful for that. And what I want to really share with this podcast episode is that because also of this, God Almighty gave me this beautiful blessing to gift so much, and some of the pieces is like, wow, I can't believe we're departing with these, and just gift them. And what was amazing, like for example, our dear friend Yoga, when when I first she was the first one, I made a contact that said, Hey, listen, I have these things. Would you would you be interested? She was so blown away that we were willing to gift her these items. So she came and picked them up from the storage, was just and it served her so well. Our dear friend Jonathan, we went and gifted him several, several items, and it was amazing to see him so overwhelmed. And he left the bus left Michael and I a message sharing that through all his life, he has never received that many gifts at once. He didn't even know what to do with it. He was so overwhelmed. And then our dear friend Bo, we had this ginormous Powha buffalo drum where they do the Powah, you know, drumming with that and a few other things from Shasta gifted to him. He just couldn't believe this was being gifted to him. And the list goes on and on. And what was amazing to me was on my birthday Friday, we my friend Yoga helped at the community, at the apartment complex she lives in. So we brought everything, brought all kinds of food, and two of our other friends also had birthdays, Vivi and Maureen. And without them knowing, I also wanted to include them in my birthday. So there is something about when it's your birthday, and you can really include others in this birthday. So they're celebrated. I have gone to a lot of birthdays where the the attention is all on the person whose birthday it is. And I feel that's beautiful. And for me, I'm the type of person I like when it's my birthday. I like not just me being celebrated, I really like others being celebrated. So for those that know me, I kind of go out a little bit because I want to make sure it's not just my birthday, it's an excuse for you to also be really blown away and celebrated. So this particular birthday, I hadn't seen them and this community we have in Florida. For the years we were there, Michael and I brought these people that we had met, introduced them, and they all become became friends. And for a period of the time we were there, we would have gathering every single month, and this group would gather and through the connection, they experienced all kinds of all kinds of amazing experiences in life, including, for example, every month we would have some kind of activity, and through this very heart-centered activity was always prayer and blessings. So many of them, like a friend of ours, opened her center, opened there's a husband and wife, and some of the other ones did other things. So there's always the intention is very pure and clean. So when we come together, we can really bring God's presence in. So on this particular birthday, which was Friday night, I was very determined. We had this bag of sound instruments. I told Michael, Mike, I said, Michael, I want to do two things. One, I want to have two activity games to play. So there's that game, they have no idea what they're walking into, but we're gonna play. And also let's put all these sound instruments out. So when they come, we're just going to have them go pick a sound instrument and we're gonna go ahead and organically create a sound experience with each other. So we were able to do that. So let me tell you how that went. It was so much fun. So when they all came in, first I had them come and take each of the bags that was for them and to present it to them why I was giving to them. Like, for example, one of my friends, Jamie Day, she's very connected to Mary Magdalene. So I had my bag of all the things with Mary Magdalene all these years. For those of you who know 12 years, I was very dedicated to Mary Magdalene. I fulfilled that promise and it's finished. So it was these gifts I had to give to her so she can continue. And each of the bags was very intentional, like this. It was really incredible. After just being a witness to people's surprises of being on the receiving end of all these gifts, we went into our first game, and this first game was so much fun. Have you ever played an adult game where there is no alcohol, there is nothing, but you're very present, and it's all about the inner child coming at you. You're absolutely ridiculous and silly, and you just get to just be so lighthearted. So, this was the game we played. I'm gonna share with this game with you. Maybe you might want to play it. So, this game was there were two parts. One part was both of them were animal games. So, with the first game, I had all of them come. There's a video on our Facebook. If you go, you see how the game is. It's so funny the this the way sound came out. So it's all about there were like animals in the safari. Each of them have to decide what animal they are without telling anybody, and they have to be blindfolded. And when we say it's time, they have to make the sound and find each other's like family or tribe or you know, clan of the animals. Oh my gosh, this this was so funny to see all the different sounds come on, and please go to Facebook, look at that video I posted today. It is so hysterical. So they get to play that, and then the next part of the animal game, we split into two teams. So one is the audience, the other one is the performer. So each of us would then be an animal, come and perform that animal sound, but our teammate could not laugh, only the ones who were the audience could laugh. So the pressure of not laughing while one of our teammates is making one of the animal sounds was hysterical. So, of course, I lost three different times because I just kept laughing. I couldn't, I couldn't hold myself. So that was really fun. And by that time, they got really, really excited. And I don't know if we took we have some videos of that as well. And the third game we played was the world's world's slow slow motion marathon. This game is so funny. That one that that video is also on our Facebook post. It's so funny. You get a chance to see everybody's slow motion running to their finish line, but whoever gets the last actually wins. It was so funny, it was so funny. We we just laughed our hearts out of that one, and I just Michael and I just loved seeing everybody feel so lighthearted and and joyful and wanting to just enjoy and all the food that was brought was amazing, and just a lot of love, a lot of love shared. And we had all these Mexican hearts that were from Mexico that we brought, so we gifted everybody, and and once everybody got their sound instruments, we came together and I led them to start with one sound, get into a rhythm, and we go through one by one, and we co-create this sound together, and that was amazing. So we had just such an amazing three, four hours together, and I what I really appreciated was being able to see our friend's heart, mind, soul just so lifted because we hadn't been there all these months, and when we get when we go, we gather them, and that that was the thing that was really left with me. They kept saying, My gosh, like we haven't gathered like this since you guys were here last. And I felt so honored that we get to we get to gather the people and just enjoy it so much, and the joy of being able to share a piece of our hearts that means so much to us with others. Let them be on that receiving end, let them be uplifted, let them be so happy that they got to receive. That was such a wonderful just blessing. And it is truly like this: it is in giving that you receive. A lot of times we're waiting for others, but I have come to know when as I really give with all my love, all my heart, and I'm the one who's receiving the most satisfaction. What is happening is God Almighty is fulfilling me even greater, and that's what's incredible. So on my end, it was so great, and I have the presents that they got cards and stuff that I haven't had a chance to open, so I'm gonna open it in just a minute. And the other part that was also amazing for Michael to have his men's circle there that he started, gosh, it started nine years ago, and when we were in Florida for three years, he led every month, and it's been so beautiful. His leadership really coming on strong and sharing. And this one, 22 men came and they had a phenomenal experience. And Michael got the chance to also share how his online men's circle is expanding, and he's gonna start having guest speakers come and join. So I'm just so happy for his for his part. And as we we went each time jumping in the water after we cleaned the the storage, we just had this baptism. We shed some tears and just gratitude of everything we experienced in Florida, in Sarasota area, and all the people we met that are always gonna be our friends, and how great it feels to actually close a door because we know there's more coming, and we know we're still gonna be connected with Florida, yet it's gonna be more around the Miami area, not we've always had my family's always had family house in Miami, so it's gonna be Miami rather than the Vescos. And to close that was very meaningful, and I feel so satisfied on the inside, efficient, what we needed to get done, done, what needed to be delivered, delivered, and it is under the command of God Almighty. I'm very clear this door had to close, this chapter had to close, and close with with a with a greatness of celebration. Celebrating ourselves, celebrating our friends, gifting our friends, celebrating everything that we walk through, all the places we lived, and everything that we experienced through those years in Florida, and how they all have been part of this route to the way God Almighty wants us to serve next. It's all part of it, and it had to it it had to take effect like this. And I wonder if those of you are going through an experience where you know certain doors must close. It's just time, and you have to give a lot away, and sometimes you're just having a hard time giving away. There were some some of the items actually just had a lot of tears in the storage because some of the items were from all these places when I was doing the planetary work, and it was part of the just so much. I was stretched to fulfill the promise. And and there was so much labor of love, sacrifice that came with it. And there were items that were so meaningful, and God Almighty was stretching me, gifted, give it away. I was like, wow, just give it all away. Okay, here we go more, give and give it away. And the the the the the reward on the inside by releasing that is is something I can't even put into words. Now, some of you know I've gone through so many different cycles of this releasing and letting go, and somehow I've been very blessed with that ability. And I feel so grateful. And I also know my human self goes through its own stretching. Yet what I want to share with you is if you have been going through this stretching, no, it is not by coincidence. As you release and let go and you let more God Almighty to take the wheel, your load becomes lighter. Number one, number two, you feel more supported. Number three, you feel much more clear. Number four, you are you're you're not carrying so much weight. That that makes a huge difference. Number five, there's more joy in you. Number six, then there's more space in you for other things. Number seven, then you're open to greater possibilities. I mean, these are huge when you allow yourself to let go because I know some of you are holding on, holding on. So if you're holding on, the blessings of God Almighty can't come through you. I know without a shadow of doubt, this may leads into my next that God Almighty has promised, and it's next best amazing that's coming. So I have to release even more. This is part of it, and there's that human part that gets stretched a little bit, is uncomfortable, and so we have to take the human part and allow our human part to be held by the presence of God Almighty. So it's insured, reassured that it that he or she is safe, it won't fall apart as this clearing and opening is taking place on the inside. So hopefully, by me sharing this with you, you will remember where you are. If you're in this process, it's perfectly great. If you're not, maybe this message will reach to you so it gives you the ability to start releasing and letting go. Now, some of you know me from this is three, four years ago. In and I had done a video on this three years ago on my YouTube channel when I had these four bins that I had brought from DC down to Florida to actually, I was thinking of dropping them off. They were all designer, high-end designer bags, and I'd spent like thousands and thousands of dollars on these way before shoes, belts from Prada, Mosquino Chanel, Louis Vuitton, all of these, and I just didn't resonate with them, and I wanted to sell them, and these were all bought during those years of my life where I was trying to fulfill myself with material, but it wasn't fulfilling me. So I took them down to sell them, and one day I woke up and I was like, there's no selling, I'm just gonna go drop them off. I dropped all of them off at a secondhand store, gifted it to them, and I just walked away. And I felt so enriched by that. I didn't need to go get the money for it or anything like that. I can I can easily just release them with so much love, not even for tax write-off, nothing, just step away because I knew there's so much more coming my way, and it has been. It has been. Actually, after that, one of my biggest clients signed it, signed a personal development journey with me after that. So, I mean, it's amazing how life works. So I'm sharing this with you to first thank those of you who've released even more and you've emptied yourself so God Almighty can fill you, fill your vessel with God Almighty's light and blessings. And for those of you who are in the middle of it, keep on going. That's beautiful. Just remember this is part of the process. And for those of you who haven't started, but you know you need to hopefully this will reach you, and it gives you the ability to at least start taking the first step towards it. So, as I have arrived, I am ending this short because uh I just want to sit on the couch, open my birthday presents, my cards, read them, and rejoice, rejoice in those beautiful friendships, rejoice in this beautiful marriage with Michael, and how our team worked, like today, I did most of the driving. He was so tired, but last night he did all the driving. So, and how beautiful it is that we can just share so much and go through so much together and work so closely and be on the same page and and have such a great attitude with one another. These are all all blessings of God Almighty that I do not take for granted one bit, and I kept saying it like, hallelujah, God Almighty, you are so great. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so excited for this week. Guess what? End of the week, Saturday is my birthday party again for our friends here in DC, Maryland area. So I'm so excited to be with our dear friends here. It's gonna be a smaller one, but I'm going to enjoy it very much. So much love to all of you. Big hug, big blessings to you, and I'm sure Michael is going to talk about his men's circle on his episode this week. And I'll certainly be catching up with you. By the way, we made our 75th episode.
