Total Integrity and Living Beyond ‘Sacrifice’
Is it possible to have what your heart truly desires without having to sacrifice any part of you, me, the earth, or life? YES.
Many spiritual teachings and traditions need updating as the collective human consciousness updates and moves through the contextual shift that is happening now. The concept of sacrifice is one such example.
The mass celebration of Sacrifice is part of humanity’s deep core conditioning. It is a remnant of the Piscean age exemplified by the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ. Many now feel the practice of sacrifice added to the undermining of the ancient temples. Undermining created by an abdication of responsibility to the personal temple and the responsibility to integrate all the parts of oneself. This then went on to impact all parts of the Temple community, especially the marginalized parts.
As we bring the temples forward again we have an opportunity. Can we release the practice of sacrifice that is no longer a responsible choice as we manifest an emerging paradigm of Love, power, and freedom?
Living without sacrifice is an important evolutionary step as humanity starts to live in total integration, living in synergy with all aspects of being. When a soul lands sufficiently in a body, there can be enough conscious awareness and presence to make fully integrated choices.
When we are able to feel and listen to every aspect of our being (body, heart, mind, emotions and soul), we can make choices without the need to sacrifice or abandon any part of ourselves.
We can and must “offer up” and let go of what does not serve. And, we can still offer ourselves to serve others, or to Love, God, The One, or however you call this energy, to live through us. This is a choice, not a sacrifice.
Love requires no compromise or sacrifice. In fact, pure love can only happen without sacrifice. This is because pure love is unconditional. It is only when we put conditions on love that we begin to compromise and sacrifice for those same conditions we have created.
Our belief systems, toxically shaming cultural and religious conditioning, play a huge role in reinforcing the notion of sacrifice being a virtuous act. These traditions that consider Sacrifice virtuous, also tend to be steeped in shame and guilt as well.
Sexuality, physicality and emotions have often been seen as a hindrance on a spiritual path. These important aspects have been some of the most popular things to ‘sacrifice’. Toxic shame, guilt, and spiritual ego require sacrifice to maintain control and boost self image.
