 Hello, beautiful souls. This is Oda and I just thought I'd drop in just this is really spontaneous But to wish you a happy Halloween season Halloween is traditionally It's called so Wayne in the Celtic tradition and it's the cross-quarter point of the year So it's celebrating where we're going into the the darkest Quarter of the year right when the light is waning and the there's more dark than light and so so we're looking at this This darkness versus light and this is a theme that I've been exploring over the last couple months. I think and It's it's been actually really enlightening to go into the darkness and I think that's that's kind of what I want to bring forward here Hi, Marvita. How are you? Um Is that it sometimes it can get really? Feel really heavy right to explore the shadow side to explore the dark side Which is actually what this time of year and of celebrations are about largely But it doesn't need to feel heavy and I think if we think of it in terms of Life being art, right? We are all creators of our own lives We are all the artists of our lives and artists work with light and dark, right? And so if you think of any piece of artwork as being made up of light and dark It makes it will easier to understand in our lives The dark or even in a piece of art the dark is where there's the light is absent, right? So it's simply a Hidden place right where there is information there that is hidden that we cannot see right? And so if we start to understand it in that way This is a time of year Where we are also celebrating the ancestors and those who have passed so we're working with time and Bear with me because this all comes around in a circle. You'll see how it's connected We're working with time and we're working with knowledge, right? And so when we're working with ancestors They are the ones who have been there before us who have experienced and who can Lead us to understand those parts of ourselves That maybe we aren't clear about that have been hidden. They've been forgotten, right? So it's a process of remembering learning to know them yourself and bringing knowledge bringing understanding into Kind of those aspects of yourself and as we create our lives It's a process of expansion into the void right into the unknown that has not yet been explored Right and remember that we have and so if we have kind of like other selves that exist Because eternal time right everything's happening at once we can tap into those future selves of ours to help us to clarify and expand and so there's been a Lot of people that I've spoken with recently have felt kind of like a heaviness recently and part of that is just this this this hidden miss that people have been kind of struggling with and trying to bring light into and kind of what struck me as Just a way to really clarify is first of all that light is knowledge, right knowledge of self know thyself. It's one of the basic tenets, right of of Learning to to go, you know finding enlightenment and then with Knowledge that is intentionally Ignored is ignorance, right ignorance to ignore knowledge, right and so What is referred to as evil? It is just pure straight-up ignorance and if we understand it in that way Then it becomes much easier to Face our shadow side without fear. Okay, because there's a lot of ancestral beliefs in There's a lot of shame and guilt and fear built around the shadow side and that's something that I think we're all working through But if we can understand that it's just ignorance and when we start to bring the light of knowledge into it It helps to illuminate those and to transcend that ignorance and shift it back into enlightenment So just an encouragement that this is a time of year that could be really really powerful That seasonally if we work with the seasons It is a beautiful time to go within and to not be afraid to shine the light to start looking at those parts of ourselves and parts of our culture that that maybe are scary to look at, right? And because remember with the Halloween with the masks, you know, the the scary max masks and stuff that is just a Very symbolic of this whole process of it's scary to look at those untruths those those illusions But when we start to really shine the light on it and realize, oh, it's simply an illusion It's simply kind of an ignorance. That's that and we see that each person is a beautiful aspect of the divine that that you know the truth of it is that we each have this divine light that we're part of the one You know, then we can start Standing in that truth and holding that truth like a lantern up holding and shining light into those dark corners And just to close here I just wanted to share this really cool thing that happened to be this morning last spring We got a bunch of little chicks Got a little laying flock and they were little baby chicks and they're they're kind of grown up now in this morning I went to the coop and I found for the first time the first two little eggs in the coop and these are little bullet eggs They're two inches each two eggs two inches each And that's the number like two two, which is this beautiful number It's a master builder number and it just came to me that this is like this beautiful symbolism of new life coming right at this dark point in the year that where we're ushering in the dark and here's this promise of new life And it's it's just I loved it and I thought I'd share it with you So I hope that you have the most wonderful Halloween season that is Just just enjoy it Like there's no reason to fear the shadow just bring light into it and You know, um, I guess that's about it Have a have a wonderful season and we'll catch you again soon. Remember you were born to be free
