Continuing my discussion on crisis, I would now like to talk about the positive potential within crisis and how to utilise it. 

The huge amounts of crisis in the world today come with a great wave of awakening, so let’s look at the dynamics of that. 

Dynamics of Spiritual Awakening

Dynamics of  Spiritual awakening tends to happen through four mechanisms we call the Hallows. These are Love, Beauty, Solitude and Enchantment. The problem is, each of these have a negative side that kicks in when we don’t follow through. So the Hallows tend to work in pairs; love and pain; beauty and violence; solitude and loneliness; enchantment and crisis. 

Love awakens our spirits through close bonding; it brings you very close to who or what you love. One can also bond through pain. Through pain you also get to know each other very closely. This is why so many people get stuck in dysfunctional relationships, where they continuously hurt each other to stay close, and why children get abused. 

Beauty gives you a sense of your eternity. You can also find this through violence. When one is violent, they are often trying to play God. 

Solitude is that intimacy with yourself in which you discover yourself more deeply. Loneliness also leads you to discovery by taking you through the Shadow.

Enchantment is the crack in your normal routine in which the soul touches you. An example of an enchanted moment is when a beautiful butterfly rests on you, and you feel captivated and don’t want to move. It’s a suspended moment that is eternal. Suddenly you are out of your mundane routine and your soul is touching you. Crisis is also a crack in your routine. Your normal practices don’t work, everything seems as if it is about to fall apart. Again, you are suspended out of your normal routine, and for a moment, caught in a suspended moment that seems to last forever. When you don’t allow the enchanted moments, the soul touches you through crisis. 

Process to Harness the Power of Crisis

So behind all the crisis in the World lies a massive push of people’s souls trying to reach them. It should be obvious that there is huge spiritual potential, looking for a way to break through. Also, you can see how crisis is causing many more people to wake up. 

So how do we harness this power and transmute the crisis? Start with your own crisis. The process is quite simple; it involves listening, first to your emotions, and then the soul comes through. In all the emotions surrounding the crisis, don’t try to run away from them; feel them. Adopt the position of observer. The emotion isn’t you, it’s just something you are experiencing. So observe it, and welcome the feeling. I’m not saying welcome the disaster, just your feelings. You will find that when you welcome your feelings they start to move and change pretty fast, and you experience transformation. Emotions clear, your soul reaches you, and you begin to see things in a different light. This soon gets you back on your soul’s path. 

Once you are back in touch with your soul and out of the emotional turmoil of crisis, you are in a position to harness the power of all the crisis in the world. Although I teach magickal methods to do this, first there is a simple method that anyone can use.  First, go into meditation, and reach out in your heart to everyone in the world who is experiencing crisis and pain. You may need to welcome your emotions again until they transform and you are in that soul space. Then just ask all those people if you can use the energy of their crisis to transform the situation and help the World. Of course you don’t need to hear all their answers, the point is that there will be a large number of people who are ok with this. Then you visualise the World you want, with people waking up and together making a better world. That part is simple, but don’t underestimate it, as at this point you will have vast energy available to you, so your visualisation will be far more effective than normal. 

So go ahead, and good luck. I hope many of you will use this to transmute your personal crisis as well as the crisis in the World.
