I have followed Sophie for years prior and since.
Worth a read.
Tapping into our true nature and creative power … is no small task.
I can deeply relate to what is pointed at here.
My experience was a different version yet giving birth to my 1st of 3 children was remarkable for me.
Parenting the 3 lovely, powerful souls that chose to come through me: a catalystic education.
Still ongoing now that they are all adults.
I could not have embodied as I now do WITHOUT my experience of motherhood.
I feel older generations do not optimally recognize our younger generation’s genius … YET.
We are all born with “corrupted data” in a way.
Born into “corrupted” reality fields also.
Things are coming into harmony.
The generation gap is … fairly divided to my perception.
Food for thought.

RUNNING

On the subject of running. Away from confrontation with the divine self. Away from meeting the pain with open arms. Away from the tears that yearn to be shed, without judgement nor pressing down. Away from that aching void of gifts and treasure chests full of ancient knowing. Away from that intuitive, healing energy that has been honed over so many lifetimes of practice and devotion.

On the subject of running. It may take a huge cataclysm to halt your running from yourself. It may take a disintegration of all that you know as real. It may take your ego to become so threatened that it pushes everything away that arrives as love. It may take what your mind perceives as failure, total loss, devastation or an inability to cope.

Before you finally stop running.

What stopped me running? My first daughter's arrival into my womb - with all her sacred intelligence and knowing - plunged me headfirst into a concrete wall of suppressed grief and an endless, fathomless ocean of emotional pain. With my first pregnancy, my daughter's consciousness slammed me unrelentingly into beginning the slow, treadmill journey of healing my broken heart.

It was painstaking work - literally. I could not rush the process, nor could I muster the strength on most days to even scale a centimetre of my towering wall of grief.

I stopped running, and it took me at least a decade to uncover the labyrinth of wounding that had become rock solid scar tissue. I was healing heartbreak from this, and many other, lifetimes of being heartbroken by an erosion of the feminine principle from our earth. In this lifetime my spiritual pain manifested as my biological mother dying suddenly when I was four. My trauma was, and is, real and humanly felt, on a scale that at times is unimaginable, unending and unmanageable.

This trauma is underpinned by thousands of years of abandonment and separation by the divine mother. It is hard for me to write these words publicly, even now, as losing my mother has always been a taboo subject, and I always feel my revelation as excruciating vulnerability - and also that my feelings are too much for others to handle.

What stopped me running?

It was a case of face my feelings - no, feel my feelings - or die. Perish, cease to exist, wither, implode, self-destruct, be banished for all time.

My in-utero daughter was the gift to end all gifts. She literally gave me a psychic thunderbolt that started in motion decades of spiritual, emotional and physical recovery work.

It was not an overnight healing. It was the beginning of a lifetime committed to inner rebuilding and reclamation of lost power.

What stopped me running?

I had to honour my contracts. I didn't know what they were, that they existed, that I had any to fulfil. And yet, the contracts gave me my daughters. They gave me my beloved teachers, therapists, guides and mentors. They gave me my indomitable inner flame that somehow kept - and keep - me going despite all challenges and seemingly insurmountable mountains. They gave me the prompting to listen to my inner voice when all other rational voices would advise me not to bother.

On the subject of running. There will come a point when you have to make a deep choice. You either settle for less than your soul's desire to contribute to this earth, or you don't. It is that simple. It's not necessarily that easy.

If you know you will not settle for less than your soul's desire to bring full illumined power to this earth, and heal the traumas of several hundreds of lifetimes, then you will have to stop running - at some point.

You will have to confront yourself, and everything you have been doing to distract your heart from healing for so many years. You know what the distractions are.

The very good news is, that your sacred contracts are pressing their Light down upon you, and taking you to the exact right people, the exact right places, at the exact right times.

This is happening now. You are being asked to stop running, now.

I am listening, and always open to how I can stop running from my own light, and the divine right I have to give it to this universe.

If I am listening, I now take your hand and help you to listen. Yes, it's frightening, and yes, you can do it.

The universe is on your side, and knows how long you have been running, and how painful that running has been for you.

The time to stop running has arrived.

The Illusion of Romantic Completion and the Return to Inner Union of Hierosgamos
By Faith Spina

The myth of romantic love has been one of the most potent distortions in the human field. It tells us that somewhere out there is the person who will complete us, see us, heal our pain, and make life meaningful. It teaches us to seek fulfillment through fusion with another, often at the cost of our own center.

This myth is not harmless. It reinforces separation consciousness. It says: “You are not whole until someone loves you.” It encourages the projection of unintegrated inner wounds onto others, entangling us in loops of expectation, disillusionment, and emotional dependency. Instead of activating the sacred union within, it distracts us with longing, fantasy, and the endless pursuit of being chosen.

True union begins inside. When the inner masculine stands in clarity, presence, and protection, and the inner feminine opens in trust, creativity, and receptivity, a sacred alchemy ignites. This is the real Beloved. Not a person, but a state of coherence. From this place, all external relationships shift. They become mirrors of wholeness rather than wounds.

The cultural obsession with twin flames, soulmates, and destined partners is often rooted in this distortion. While there are sacred partnerships that carry codes for deep activation, they can only truly function when both individuals have anchored the union within. Without that foundation, even the most destined connections can collapse under the weight of unmet needs and romantic illusion.

To bridge dimensions, we must first bridge the polarity within. Fifth-dimensional relationships are not about drama or desire. They are about frequency match, mutual sovereignty, and devotional clarity. They are not built on emotional fusion, but on shared alignment. In this space, love becomes a transmission, not a transaction.

We are here to remember that we are the love we seek. Every true union begins as an inner remembrance. Every sacred partnership is simply an echo of that original coherence.

Return home to yourself. The Beloved has always been within.

What are we going to do about the p**n industry?
My recommendation: sever all ties to it.
Do not feed it by participating.
I sincerely feel it FEEDS off its viewers.
It systematically disempowers one’s true nature.

If anyone participates OR has a love partner who does, accept the natural invitation to deeply explore within yourself and figure out what it has to teach you about embodying your true creativity and power.
Sensuality and sexuality have a natural highest expression.
Get curious and discover it.

I know Dr. Gigi personally.
A beautiful soul.
I am forever grateful for a personal retreat I experienced with Giovanna & Faith Spina in Joshua Tree November 2019.
She is a former Plastic Surgeon (in a South American country, I cannot recall which one now).
I am a former Family Physician in Canada.
Our Medical Training was a unique learning experience [yet requires unlearning] in our journeys to our true nature.

We each have our unique journeys.
I dream of the day when there will be NO P**N INDUSTRY (as it exists today).
Perhaps there will be an upgraded NEW SENSUALITY INDUSTRY.
I sense we would all enjoy that.
It exists in various forms now.

To my knowledge, I do not have experience myself or a former partner dealing with p**n addiction.
I have awareness of its presence in my community.

Is your partner struggling with p**n addiction? I have been an online do******ix for 5 years and I have helped many men with p**n addiction and I have experienced it myself on the receiving end. I know you...

I really like this post.
I have reviewed it a number of times since I wrote it.

Make Love to Life.
There are infinite ways.
Engage your senses.
Cultivate delight in ways large and small.
Nourish your Body. 🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♂️
Nourish your Heart. ❤️
Nourish your Mind. 🧠
Nourish your Soul. 🌟

In the context of the now, solitary may have more impact.
Yet as you master this on your own, align with others to relate with and enjoy the synergy together.
Variety and diversity of relating.
A lifelong cultivation ... curation.
