If it’s Meant to be, It will be.

How sometimes we get in our own way too often

As spirituality starts to become a word trend, it is crucial to have the power of discernment to see and recognize what is real from what is fake and fraudulent. Too many people follow trends just to fit in without properly meeting themselves first.

Why? Because it is easy to blend. Because it is easy to skip the important steps when we perceive that nobody is looking. Well, someone’s always watching. The universe is always watching. You cannot lie about or pretend an energy signature or a frequency.

Perhaps you may be able to bypass for a short period of time. But it cannot last longer than that. You cannot hold that energy and frequency for the long term. Eventually, the truth will be seen, will be exposed. No matter what. Because truth transcends.

So be mindful of those who use spirituality as a camouflage to open doors they have yet to be permitted in. That they have yet to meet these rites of passage. The soul has yet to unlock the higher parts of self.

On a smaller scale, we may use spiritual language to cloak and bypass the inner work and shadow work necessary. We use this language to avoid the truth of ourselves.

In the spiritual community, you may hear people say, “If it’s meant to be, it will be.” But some may use that phrase to bypass the work necessary to manifest what they seek or to camouflage what they want to keep hidden—what is really going on underneath.

To understand spirituality and to understand universal law, you must first understand you are the co-creator. You are creating your own reality, your own universe with the universe. People misunderstand and misinterpret “attracting their desires” and “manifesting” as meaning thinking it, wishing it, and doing nothing to have it.

All these phrases people toss around—“I don’t chase, I attract,” or “If it’s meant to be, it’ll be”—can be used to spiritually bypass the work, and lead to a streak of laziness. Yet people wonder why their desires do not come in.

Because you are literally avoiding doing the work to reap what you desire. You are skipping important steps. When I say work, this is in terms of energy, which can look like many different things depending on what you are seeking to manifest.

The question you should ask yourself is, “Am I putting forth any energy toward what I am desiring?”

You must make effort and put energy toward your desires. That’s when the universe will meet you halfway. To only wish and do nothing is not manifesting, it is not attracting, no matter how much you tell yourself that.

In doing so, you are actually disabling your manifestation. You must put forth energy and effort for your manifestation to build with the universe. Sometimes that effort is working on embodiment—embodying that energy, embodying the person that receives what you seek. That takes internal effort—inner work—to achieve that.

And to be clear embodiment is not copying. You cannot copy someone and bypass that as embodiment. Essence and energy cannot be duplicated, replicated, or copy. You must harness your own power and energy to match the energy you seek to align to.

What is currently blocking you from what you seek to manifest? What energy, effort, or next steps shall you put forth to meet that manifestation? To close the gap as much as possible with the universe as a co-creator.

Once you close the gap as much as possible, and did your part—the work necessary toward your manifestation—only then can you say, “If it’s meant to be, it shall be.”

This is when you have put forth your intention fully into the universe, and it’s time for the universe to take the lead in the manifestation. This is your point of surrender. To allow the natural energy to flow. To allow the universe to work its magic.

After all these points are covered, only then can you truly say, “If it’s meant to be, it shall be.”

The Tower of Power

In the end, there is always a start to something new.

In times when things seem destructive, the life we once saw surrounding us is all crumbling down, and the ship we were once aboard heads toward wreckage. It is easy to be led toward a destructive mindset when all we can see is destruction ahead. Sometimes it feels like there were no signs to warn us of what’s to come. You had found your footing; you had found YOU, yourself again. Here comes a wave when your back is turned. Something unexpected, something you couldn’t predict this time around. Have you been the one who usually can predict these sorts of things? The tower of power is right in front of you, to be faced head-on. In this moment, you find yourself going back and forth with the waves of emotion. The emotions of panic and stress want to pull you in, but the calmness and peace in your heart and soul is calling you to feel, to embrace. Because deep down inside of you, you know that this destruction is good, this change is necessary. This ending is necessary. For you to evolve, to transform, to reassess what is needed in your next chapter, and determine where you are going from here on out.

In this moment, I choose something different. In this moment, I choose to act and think differently. To behave differently, and to take a different kind of action than I’m used to. In my mind at this time, I understand the change in me, the evolution of me. I choose to acknowledge within myself the necessity of this destruction in my outer world because I have changed. My internal processes have changed. That part of me is no longer. Therefore, this collapse is necessary. That part within me has died, and I have surrendered. This is a signal of my growth and how far I have come within days, months, and years of time. Acknowledging that what used to work for me before, no longer does. What used to light my fire before, no longer gives me warmth. What used to make me happy, now burdens me. What used to give me stability and security now brings instability, insecurity, and anxiety. What used to give me strength has forsaken me.

I have chosen the path of change. I have chosen continued growth. I have chosen to ascend. Instead of looking back and asking, “Why me? How come? Why now?” Instead of trying to fix and rebuild when the cracks have already been shown, instead of focusing my energy on rebuilding what is no longer working, what’s no longer stable ground, I choose to focus my energy on what’s new to come. I choose to use my energy to embrace what’s next and what I can create in the now. I choose to focus on the room and the space it has created to build something brand new. I envision what is next and what I want to see moving forward. Filling myself with excitement about the possibilities the empty spaces may hold and fill, instead of ruminating on the fear of what may never come to replace those empty spaces. No matter how scary the unknown may seem, instead of choosing to shut down and close off my energy. I choose to expand into the horizon and open up to the doors that are opening for me. The path I cannot see just yet with the naked eye, but I can feel. I choose to embrace all the possibilities that may come, no matter how out of this world they may be and no matter how impossible they may seem.

In this moment, I have learned to make the choice to lean into the unknown. And this unknown is a scary thing. Hold on tight and I will see you on the other side of greatness. Do not fear you won’t be saved because, in truth, you were already saved. The tower of power has now released you from what binds you. Remove and release the energy that no longer serves you to free yourself once more. The taste of newfound freedom is now yours for the taking. The tower of power is newfound victory, newfound glory. Embrace the newness awaiting to come.

Welcome to your transformation.
