At that moment, I found myself feeling totally disoriented and confused, as if the time / space continuum had shifted and, somehow, did not apply to me. 

As I type this, I find myself realizing that …this is how it feels when one awakens to an alternative reality they were not prepared for, yet there it is. 

This is how it feels when we are so certain that we know what we know and then are exposed to a different reality that shows us otherwise.

This is how it feels when we live cloaked inside our worldview, resisting “the unknown” to penetrate because we would rather feel like we already know.

I think this is the state we are desperately seeking to avoid ever feeling. Because it’s disorienting. Because it’s confusing. Because it’s uncertain. 

And our cultural conditioning has taught us that uncertainty = dangerous. This makes sense when we are four and left to fend for ourselves, however, it becomes an anchor of a double-bind that keeps us unable to differentiate.

Few people really grok that there is no “done”. There is no finish line. There is no there to get to. There is only the here & now. The moment we are in, engaged with Presence and Intention (or not). 

When our moment is engaged with Presence and Intention, our life transforms. How we show up in the world transforms. Who we become transforms. Who we are capable of becoming transforms. 

In this juicy conversation with Celine Burlock, we delve deep into the territory of all things accelerated personal evolution, what it takes to rebirth ourselves, and what gets in the way. So many people settle for “good enough” and what happens is they lose track of what matters to them: connection to their Truth / Self / Signal / I AM. 

As a species, I believe we are at a critical choice point: we can choose evolution by intention ... OR drama. As Louise LeBrun has previously said "there is a bottomless pit for both of them". The good news: YOU get to choose. Right here, right now. 

Our governance is intentionally schizophrenic. The more unpredictable, the more last minute, the more they can keep us on our toes and walking on eggshells, the more legitimate we believe their lies to be because we live in a constant state of anxiety, unpredictability, uncertainty over what’s next. The whole point is, don’t get used to anything!

There is a certain kind of pure joy, ever-flowing sweet nectar of sparkling feelings that I feel when I know a woman has just come out of her cocoon. It's a feeling of humbled ecstasy, of grounded majesty! It's like my whole body lights up and vibrates electricity outward in a beautiful endless spiral around my body that surrounds me and nourishes me because I know...this is consciousness awakened to herSelf! That moment of recognition of another's surrender to herSelf is precisely what Quantum TLC™ is.

To stay in the story of what "should" have been would mean that I would have to deprive myself of my own life lessons, thus my own evolution. To stay in the story of what "should" have been would mean to stay in the habit and deny myself the truth of what is. To stay in the story of what "should" have been would mean to sacrifice what is for an idealized, imagined version that isn't. In essence, it would mean I betray the truth that lives inside of me in favour of the story; it would mean pretending, glossing over, shutting down. It would mean self-betrayal. And I don't live like that anymore. 

Transformation only occurs the moment I reclaim the truth of my experience, let go of the story/judgment/intellect, and choose wisely from the place of my emerging identity: who am I capable of becoming?And then, when I least expect it, the family systems strategies creep up.

I take everything that comes to my awareness as an opportunity for growth. Call it disease, call it discomfort, call it life, call it death, call it Covid-19. It really doesn’t matter. It’s all a messenger of how I’m choosing to live my life. And, it’s all an opportunity, in this breath, to make a different choice. An opportunity to make an expansive, meaningful choice that aligns with who and what I know mySelf to be.

What matters to me now, increasingly more than ever, is my fully connected Presence. To know, in the moment, to say yes or to say no. To know, in the moment, to stay or to leave. To know, in the moment, exactly where Stela is. Without attachment to story, without attachment to past, without attachment to future, without attachment to outcome. Just me, bare, raw, Present. Here. Now.
