Summer Solstice-Lesson of the Sphinx by Meeting your Challenge

We have been experiencing uprooting and chaos lately. Destruction and revelations of systems and energies of the shadow. Have we found the shadow within and wish for the revelation of it and to address your shadow to meet the challenge within? What do you feel is the main challenge for yourself lately? Is it the same as your neighbor? Do you find that you are not alone in seeing the shadow and the scene in life’s play to have us see this as a good thing to meet your own challenge? Do we see our challenges as a unit with others? Or do we see the challenge to ignore it and hope it is not seen or addressed. Do we want the easy way out of this? The easy may be painfully transforming when you do the hard work with complete honesty of yourself. Have you contributed to the chaos and shadow, are you playing and dancing with the shadow but never really addressing it head on? Do you not see that you are a Warrior and that you can meet you and your challenge head on. Take a journey laying down in a comfortable place without any distractions. For my personal intention to meet my challenge: I burn the amethyst pure white candle of healing, the purple candle for transformation and letting go and the yellow candle for the sacred power to do the work. Staring at the flame announcing the purpose of the candle and flame and my intention to meet the challenge. Then I close my eyes breathing, grounded and ready to start.

Go to a space of silence and you don’t have any digital gadgets to distract you. You are disciplined and good enough to be in your own control of reaching your wholeness and peace through shadow work. You can’t do the shadow work if you don’t own up to it. How many times have you gone to your dark shadow side and caused any karmic harm to a situation, others and your life? Are you good and tired of this? Are you fed up and angry enough to motivate yourself to say “No more. I choose me and my wholeness and I can meet the challenge facing me today.” Breathe deeply into your nose, into your belly and into your heart. Clear people, places and things out of the way to face your challenge. Have you identified what it is by being in this quiet space first and undisturbed? Do this first and then see what your challenge looks like a scene or a shape or form. Close your eyes allow the white light of purity cleanse this space and you in your earthly body and go on a journey with your sacred body.

Are you ready to face your challenge? I am with you on this journey yet separate and share this self journey to help you see potential.  In this journey, the Egyptian Goddess, Sphinx. She has the wings of an eagle, the paws of a lion, the body of a dog and tail of a serpent. Her face has deeply set wide eyes looking into you deeply. She sees you and all your flaws but yet she is patient and nonchalant. She welcomes you and says that she is the Goddess of Challenges. “Are you ready to meet your challenge?” I am here to give you access to the mystical chambers and there is a secret portal inside the Sphinx and you go town corridors to see your Sarcofagus. The coffin where you are resurrected and rebirthed again and again and I hold the sacred symbols of the royalty. There is Serapis Bey who is at my head to heal with the violet flame mental healing. There is the Sun God Ra at my feet sending warm bright lasers of power into my feet and there appears intricate labyrinths of light that travels all over my body and into my chakras, into my eyes and ears and arms. I am aglow unharmed but ignited and ready to receive more light wisdom in this journey. I can only explain my journey in hopes you are inspired by it on your own journey to meet your challenge. It is best to write down your intentions to meet your challenge and burn a candle or do a prayer or meditation to do the work. Doing the work isn’t easy but necessary if we are truthful of our true presence. As the healing continues for me on this journey; My spiritual Father Osiris is on my right by my right leg and Mother Isis on the left side of my left leg. There is Thoth the Wise One and Eternal Flame Bearer of Knowledge. There is Sekhmet the Goddess of Anger. In the past; I knew her so well. She helped me transform and reform to my truth and form over and over as I journeyed to keep going into the Positive Movement. It is sacred work to do the work you need for yourself and a form of self love.

As they are supporting me and surrounding me; I am holding the Pharaoh's sceptre (Heka) and hooked (Nekaka) element to hold over my chest. The Heka is the benevolent guide and the Nekaha uses the flail as one of order and strict enforcer. I feel the healing of Ra and Ascended Master-Serapis Bey and the Nurturing and Protection of Osiris and Isis and the Eternal Wisdom Keeper - Thoth. Sent has evolved in the most gentle loving Goddess. Telling me the anger from childhood trauma no longer services you and not influence your children by overdoing…

I am being cleansed and afterwards I hear the Great Spirit telling me that Goddess Sphinx wants you to return again and again to do the work needed. Remember, your old self and patterns wanted to overdo and make sure nothing bad happened from the wounded child perspective that you were over doing, over caring and told yourself you were in charge of others especially the ones you love and their journeys, actions and path to wholeness. You must allow others to do their path, their suffering, their falls, their triumphs and discomfort and elation in their journey is all theirs to own and not yours to interfere. Nothing bad is going to happen nor do you need to create the environment for them to feel comfortable. Growth is not comfortable and sometimes we must go through this to appreciate the growth of moving past that. You are not to take over, over protect and over direct anyone on their journey. You can relax now. Let them do what is best and what is needed for them. I understand that I was imprisoning myself and holding back myself in turn. Their focus on what I said was their goal wasn’t but to find out for themselves and find their path and way to do it is sacred work. It is this awakening you have started by losing the reins to move forward. Free them so you are free yourself. 

The most powerful thing you can do for others is to get out of the way…because they need to create their way. Remember love is freedom. 

As I lay in the sarcophagus of my own eternal soul; I understand now the stillness was needed to get here wherever here is and arrive and do the work myself and others to do the same for themselves. I then close my eyes as I am now wearing armor and in this armor the Goddess Sphinx says to meet my challenge. Here I am with my sword and ready to meet the challenge. In the distance a form is taking place; in this magical realm where I am looking around on this mountain all that creation is around me and so clear. I then see the form coming to me in black. It is another being dressed in armor with a sword. Goddess Sphinx says your challenge has taken form and it is time to address it. Fight for your clarity, your true self and wholeness. You and the other knight clash your swords. The power of the swords are immense and it seems like an extension of your arms. You both fight valiantly, trying all kinds of moves to fool the opponent and then you know you must keep going and cannot stop until your chaos comes out of the swords and evaporates into stillness as the final step to meet your challenge. You drop your sword and the dark knight drops their sword. You take off your helmet and the form takes off…what do you see? I see myself in my shadow disheveled, tired, worried and weary seeking love and that moment you know that love is giving the freedom to yourself to allow others to be free themselves and meet their own challenge and move onwards into forgiveness of self and honoring your sacred. You embrace your Dark Night…YOU and the energy seems to evaporate of the the dark night’s weariness, tiredness and collapses and surrenders into your arms of love and rest and light. It is time to take a rest and let go of the reins of the shadow now that you hung onto from survival and trauma wounds or inner childlike wounds or pressure you felt not to be true to you and say, “No. It’s not my journey; it’s yours and I step aside to work on me.” This is powerful work to choose and you are not weak…you are on the way to wholeness with simple reminders that we are only responsible for our own path and others are responsible for their own path. Honor and thank each other for the lesson and understanding now.

May you embrace your challenge and meet it head on and get the support and help needed without hesitation, with full faith and self love. Be Light, Be Brave and Be Bold. I hope this meditational story helps with what the Goddess Sphinx has conveyed. There is a similar journey in the Goddess Oracle with the Sphinx; you may practice that. I have weaved the transcending blend of evolving soul, mind and body with the Oracles Idea but I believe in duality and that is seeing yourself sacred in Light and Darkness and not be afraid to address the darkness in order to be your Light. Have a beautiful week ahead Warrior. Much love, much letting go of the reins prayers and much light evolvement prayers for you. Peace to you. Namaste and Aho!
