Calling of Home

Forest Sanctuary anniversary

A couple of years ago, the so called Mother Ship landed in the form of Forest Sanctuary. It is located in the Slovenian woods, not far from Celje, once a smaller industrial town in the region. On the surrounding plot of land, being part of my own ancestry, the energies of Cosmic Embrace seemed to have landed on firm ground. The vision was big.

We've been speaking about offering a playground of exploration for the emergence of renewed human Consciousness in the middle realm of the Earth-plane. In other words, I would have envisioned it being one of the building blocks for the emerging New paradigm. A place which should have attracted awakening people. Possibly even serving as a beacon of remembrance towards long lost whispers of Home. It could have become a point where human Souls are able to recognise that they are not alone in the Universe. To amplify the message and unveil the presence of Star-beings (some of which inspired the creation of this place), who were watching over the evolutionary journey of mankind.

Back then, it felt like this could be the right place to kick-start this mission. To offer what felt like my energy wanted to contribute in this environment. To hold a bridge across the divide and offer insights from the other side of the veil. And convey a perspective about lifestyle, which doesn't comply with normalcy. Eventually my wish was to inspire people, so they might be able to break the patterns of human conditioning and dare to discover more about their Soul calling.

This was the energy we shared in the invitation for our first retreat in the Forest Sanctuary >

Reality check

Two years later, we're sharing an open call for the upcoming September retreat of Cosmic Embrace. There's been progress, one can argue, the work continues to ripple out. Nevertheless, in writing this article I'm hearing the loud rumbling of an excavator from the village. People from the village opted for a pedestrian sidewalk along the street and the tingling sound of heavy machinery became part of our days in the last couple of months.

At the same time, I'm looking at the new modern house, which the neighbours have recently built just at the edge of our property. It cuts off the natural (more harmonious) flow of energy rippling out from the Forest, which existed there before.

Many people around us consider it as some development in the rural area, finally. They praise the major for granting funds for additional roadwork. They see the family with young kids having moved into a new house and celebrate it with a "standard welcoming party." They kindly offer beer to road workers, who are sweating heavily whilst pouring the concrete on the land. I can truly witness human compassion in their deeds. However, I can feel it exists just on the surface.

If there was still some illusion that my being here was making some sort of difference, I just had to remind myself about the new Robot Lawn Mowers installed on the neighbouring property. Not only the Matrix is tangibly spreading around, but people are actively calling it in and celebrating new measures of success.

In this, I have to ask myself a question - what is the role of Cosmic Embrace here? How on Earth did we end up in an area that tends to be governed by a small minded village mentality?

Silent (r)evolution

When I focus on the feedback of our work with Cosmic Embrace in the area, the signs appear disappointing. It felt like in the early days some people were still drawn to us based on curiosity, and my previous engagement with the Homestead movement. When I started to openly share my perspectives based on the experiences of my spiritual journey, the number of active participants suddenly dropped. No, I can not fool myself any longer that there are many people out there truly interested in my spiritual offerings.

In those moments it's very easy to slip into the blurred cloud of societal expectations. To compare yourself with others, slowly even start compensating your vision. It's not because I would necessarily need to fit in, but it might be the only reference point available. Therefore, I was curious to check what nowadays attracts spiritual people. In my vicinity sound baths and spiritual concerts seem to be thriving. There are also some Yoga classes publicly offered, an old classic for those looking for some familiarity when it comes to spiritual practices. I've also noticed constellation work, unveiling (hidden) family dynamics, becoming more widespread.

It's always when I find myself in this position of discovering another reference point, that the calling from inside becomes louder. To keep coming back to the true measure of success, which we continuously apply in our work with Cosmic Embrace. It is called the feeling of rightness.

To simply ask questions like: How does it feel to make this choice? Is there a feeling of rightness in how you are being in the world?

This is where I often touch the paradox of this human journey. It is to understand and accept that nothing in the outside world might be able to validate my expression. Yet, if there is an internal feeling of rightness in what/how I feel to express, then it is worthwhile doing so. This was usually the case when I encountered people who were able to actually reflect more about the deeper meaning of Life to me. I realized they all have been going through moments of utter aloneness or misunderstanding on their Paths.

Emergence of new being

In my case, the tension often arose due to a perceived wish of an outcome. I would have wished (and hoped) to see some tangible changes in the surrounding environment. Maybe the idea of the bright possible future blinded me for the reality we all share together. It's a common wound of many light-workers: the sheer desire to be of service, yet lacking the capacity to interrelate with those that you're meant to serve.

In this, I'm reminded of this simple saying: “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.”  This process often gives me inspiration on my journey. Numerous times, I felt like our work here has been wrapped in a cocoon, which prevents people from truly interacting with it. Is it going to burst soon?

I've equalised with the idea of staying forever out in the woods. Over the years, I've build a strong connection to the etheric guidance. The energies which I constantly bring forth in our sessions, have thus far reflected a sense of purpose and a feeling of Home to those that have been diligently following our work. When I inquired with my team in spirit if I am in the right place to share my energy with the world, they answered with a rhetorical question: Where else would you like to be...?

Those energies replaced measured sense of success with an internal feedback loop. Like the first bite of a berry cake after a peak energetic process. Or noticing the buzzard on top of the tallest spruce, overseeing the area. The unspoken word from a person, who just broke through a deep layer of karma. A squirrel running down the tree, as the guiding sign when I run out of resources...

Life in the woods amidst societal breakdown, blended with the energies of Cosmic Embrace, becomes more and more like a metaphor for me. A story that reflects the invitation of modern age: Are you ready to journey with us, even deeper into the woods? All the way to the cradle of Life here, beyond this humanoid existence. You are warmly invited to join us for the upcoming September retreat.
