As you may already know…

Trump was shot yesterday.

The internet is buzzing with opinions.

That range from

“I wish the shooter didn’t miss”

To…

“This was an inside job”

Although your first instinct might be to reject one opinion or the other.

Know that…

Both points of view are useful.

While they may sit at the extremes of thinking, and that makes us uncomfortable.

What they do introduce is…

Polarity.

It creates the pressure cooker of experience which is often need to spark change.

When it comes to reality…

It’s made of the classical four elements.

➥ Earth
➥ Water
➥ Air
➥ Fire

They all offer unique characteristics.

Fire tho… is particularly unique.

When you look at the other three…

They can all degrade.

You can destroy the Earth… and pollute the air and waters.

But fire…

Is not corruptible.

It is the element that will always transmute other elements.

It’s a catalyst.

Many people recognize the elements like this:

➥ Earth — Stability
➥ Water — Emotions
➥ Air — Thoughts
➥ Fire — Energy

Now, what happens if…

We can no longer be stable with the Earth…

Or communicate our thoughts with the air?

Well…

The water of our emotions will then become charged.

These charged emotions push us further apart creating polarity and pressure

That’s what we have right now.

When there is pressure…

Fire comes.

Fire can be disastrous, and destroy everything but it can also bring the light of awareness.

Light a torch in a dark cave and you now have awareness of what is around you.

While difficult…

The world is going through an alchemical process of transmutation.

And in order for that fire to light properly…

Just like a match, it needs some friction.

That is what will help snap consciousness into a new realm of awareness.

Most people are afraid of fire…

Because it’s unstable and painful.

But they forget how we love it too.

That car in your driveway…

Creates mini explosions of fire thousands of times a second.

We love fire… as long as when we can control it.

Now… getting back to the Trump thing.

The important question for me always falls back to…

Why is this happening?

As i’ve mentioned before, and I’ll link in the comments.

This is an initiation.

A process as old as time, that has been used in mystery schools across time.

One thing that initiations are particularly good at…

Is splitting time.

They mark a moment where you can distinctly remember who you were before that event…

And after it.

9/11 is one of these events.

Everyone remembers where they were in that moment.

And how their world was different after that day.

The same is true for… boot camps, gangs, etc…

They all cause a shift in identity.

As you try to absorb what happened yesterday…

Know that something is trying to shift your identity.

There are two perspectives…

You can get absorbed in the “what”.

I’ll call this the celebrity gossip level.

That’s consumed with what happened, what’s real, what isn’t real.

It’s like the game of Clue.

You want to know who dunnit.

The other option is to get absorbed in…

The why.

Not the lower level why…

Which is looking at motivations and political interests.

I’m talking about the bigger why.

The energetic why.

Why is this energy being presented at this moment in time.

And why is it disrupting certain energy structures that currently exist.

More importantly…

Who will you become because of it.

You cannot resist that fire is being introduced into the world right now.

That’s happening.

The question is… what will you do with that fire?

After 9/11…

Many allowed the Magickal process to radicalize them.

Becoming blood thirsty and war hungry.

Now….

Fire is on your doorstep again.

It will ask that you become just as unstable as it is.

Begging for war and retaliation.

You are already seeing this real time.

As more wars take place on the planet.

But some of you… the alchemist.

May choose a different path.

Instead of succumbing to the fire…

You desire to control the fire.

When you see it as a tool, fire becomes something you can extract energy from.

To propel you forward..

Rockets, cars… they use fire to move forward

Bigger engine = Bigger explosions

And that means… more power.

The more explosive the world becomes…

The more potential for change there is.

Navigating the world during these times means…

Being mindful of what’s happening in your inner world.

As it is a reflection of your external one.

Ask yourself this…

Will you allow yourself to be consumed by the fire…

Or will you become the alchemist?

One of these gets burned alive…

The other reaches the stars.

Choose wisely.
