An image of Avalanche Lake inspires this Blog piece. Breathtaking. Magnificent with grace. One’s mind and heart might be moved at first sight of this grand capture. I feel moved to write about the challenge of making it up a mountain and descending upon completion of work done for spiritual growth’s sake. Great feats – accomplishments of the soul – can look like this space of calm and beauty.
You are at the lake and see the mountain ahead. Is there work to do and this is why you have not yet moved forward to scale the challenge? Maybe you are considering what you need to address before ascending. It could be that you are in pause and waiting for a sign to move forward. It is seemingly possibly, as well, that you are immobile and cannot bring yourself to get to where you need and want to go. Do you want company, yet no one is available to journey with you? Might you have fear of the unknown? For some, the mere thought of an uphill climb might deter them from setting out towards their desired goal. Wherever one might find themselves, it is Divine and perfect. An incarnation has many movie scenes in that a mountain offers much by way of spiritual growth opportunities.
A mountain may be real or an illusion. The work is to discern what is before you. Trust that you, possibly with the assistance of others, can identify what it is you are encountering. Sift through fears, accept what really exists, and decide whether it is at all possible to take steps towards advancing. If you determine that the trek uphill has too many risks versus benefits, the “win” is in the discernment. Others might be unable to overcome fears that preclude their moving forward. It could be that the idea is shelved as timing is taken into consideration and the mountain will be addressed at a later date.
Mountain climbing is a classic human drama. It could involve people, places, and things. We actually enjoy a full on mountain encounter! Yes. We came here to advance under dense conditions.
If one decides they have the necessary apparatus for scaling their challenge, the game begins. Pacing oneself is key. Allowing – watching the development unfold – is key if one wishes to accomplish their goal. At any time, one might decide to cease business and return from whence they came. With no self-judgement, asking oneself what they learned is fantastic with respect to self-discovery. Even sharing with others your movie scene’s lessons might offer inspiration to those who are contemplating facing their respective mountain.
Let’s say one has scaled the mountain and has worked their way down to Avalanche Lake. Looking back upon descent is quite fruitful and highly recommended. To consider great feats have been earned strengthens one’s constitution. A soul might shine brighter. Patting oneself on the back with pride is very important. Please recognize yourself. If you expect others to do this for you, it is a setup for disappointment if they do not. You may do this for self and it is not selfish. It is self-ish – like self, for self.
Serenity can be found at the water. You might reflect upon the hard work getting up and coming down and can now rest. The Divine Ones bless you with their presence – always. You are supported and held. I am sure there is much chatter in the ethers from your Guides, Departed Ones, angels, Ascended Masters, and members of your soul group.
My take on this reality is we all have at least one mountain to climb. It is a very dense reality, this third dimension. We are nearing the end and experiencing many challenges and many miracles simultaneously.
I strongly suggest scaling the mountain you need to climb for soul peace and eventual rest.
Wishing you a marvelous trek,
