Anastasis is defined as recovery or rebirth. The Ancient Greek origin of this word is ἀνάστασις which also means resurrection. Moving beyond the current uncertainty in the world will eventually take the form of recovery. Out of the ashes of a pandemic, Americans will experience a rebirth and a resurrection. The messages have been coming forward that things will not return to normal. We will no longer be able make assumptions based on past experiences. The paradigm has shifted and a new reality demands nothing less from each of us.
The Indigo movement that began in the ’70s with all the warrior spirits descending on the Earth has just gotten the biggest blast from Mother Nature. All the old structures are being brought down, and a new beginning is on the horizon. For decades, the spiritual army has been marching toward this current world event, which many consider Biblical. Others see today marking the true beginning of the Age of Aquarius. So what does that mean for all of us?
On this Easter Day of 2020, I think some answers will be revealed in the modern-day understanding of resurrection, or anastasis. Building the new structures will offer opportunities that we can’t quite comprehend. My general sense is the process will be creative, innovative, pragmatic, and beyond our imagination. Let’s move even further beyond our imagination and into the dimension occupied by beings of light, or the subtle energies some know as angels:
Each person carries a responsibility for how they express themselves through words and actions. There is no value-neutral aim that will communicate how each individual will inform and enhance the lives of others. The world is not only a place of things, but it is a forum for action. The latter represents the greatest potential for manifesting a way of being in the world. Ultimately, the material world and forum for action would reach a place of greater conflict with each other.
Knowledge can be validated by science and methods used to make proven statements. Wisdom comes from deep within the heart. The individual narrative created from perception of the material world influences the forum of action. The two remain at odds because of a lack of clarity around each domain. To find value with objective reality, one must be led and fed by emotions and feelings as a way to touch the wisdom of the heart.
In the normal world, you could draw a clear line from where you are to where you are going. In a revolutionary world, the old points of references are shattered, unexpected, and uncertain. This means you must abandon your story, question what you know, suspend old beliefs, and make no more assumptions. Such conditions form the basis of rebirth and resurrection — anastasis. What no longer holds value must be left behind in the search for new value in order to experience re-animation.
To move forward as a soul on the path to improvement, one must know love. It’s important to awaken to the truth that trauma is experienced as separation from love. Letting go of the past is casting into the fire all pursuits that no longer hold value, with open arms that welcome the replacement. Moving forward from this day will require freedom from limitations, with the embrace of all things or actions deemed sacred. Your destiny evolves with illumination of your actions.
Bring joy, ease suffering and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell
