life here in the liminal space
Looking behind my shoulders, I have to say that I'm in a place of divine tension. I say divine because I know it's been pre-calculated and predestined.
A liminal space is that space in between where you're not quite where you're headed, but you are not where you have been. How does it feel to me?
Awkward
Alarming
Albiet scary
Invigorating
Exciting
Frustrating
Disheartening
Anxiety-inducing
Confidence-testing
Growth-generating
Faith-building
Tense-collecting
I don't think I'm the only one. Since leaving the classroom for a year, it's been a life-altering experience. Still waiting for the full realization of my purpose while here, this middle space has been TEACHING and PREACHING. Just wanted to share what I'm learning.
We are all in transit at one point in our lives, and for most of us that dare, multiple times. We are either gathering or releasing, attracting or letting go. We all-and please don't lie to me or yourself-have this invisible strain, this weight on us and over us that we are circumnavigating---and it often shows up the heaviest in the liminal space.
I would be dishonest if I said it wasn't uncomfortable, obnoxious, heart-wrenching, and even depressing at times. Yet, in this interesting juxtaposition, it can also be the most provocative, intoxicating, and decadent time if you relax your entire body in it.
When I find myself the most relaxed and the most lucid is when I attract "transit" opportunities that serve as cobblestones for me to step across. They are whispers, reminders, and pulls that are nudging me in a certain stratosphere--and I'm here for it.
Liminal spaces will force you to look inward, and if you're surrendered enough, steady your hands towards soul & spirit healing. You may bump into your inner-child. Always say hello and that you have so much love for the inner-child of your history, as that child is capable of leading you to your destiny...if only we'd be brave enough to breathe and follow.
The inside of me seems messy. I discovered I'm more complex than what I already knew about myself. Yet, this is a brilliant revelation that can only be found at times in the liminal space. Because you are in transit, in a new space, in an in between space, different dimensions of yourself surface--some versions of which for the very FIRST time. You have to pay attention. Pay close attention to what rises to the surface. You'll need this intel that will serve as direction out of the liminal space.
Hard WORK.
Mirror WORK.
Long-suffering WORK.
Yet, I'm here with you. I hope you can be here with me. Transition-Transit-Ascension-Elevation---these are raw materials that have the propensity to change our world.
So much rides on our ability to withstand the liminal space.
I know for me, it's not really about me, but about the message that God has placed on my heart for the masses, for social change, for my legacy here on earth.
No small proposition. So I promise to myself and the call that I won't let slip what I deem as radical hope. I can't go back to where I was because I'm too far gone, and I can't move all the forward because the door is locked. Yet, I'll stand still enough, relax and release to a frequency of flow, and open my divinity to the ultimate levitation.
I pray you do the same. I'm still here with you. I'm still here.
