Personal Reflection
Ecstatic Experience by Jessica Ruth Allen
Life became more real than I could ever have imagined when turned inward -- a health crisis led to learn how to navigate the luminal space between life and death. Carl G. Jung guided my journey through his own chronicled in The Red Book. I held his writings and Self analysis close -- gripping onto it for knowledge, wisdom, and guidance as I traverse the rocky, dark depths of my Soul. It is through this process I found solace, ecstasy, and my way home. It was in this space I began to question the act of living, saw the beauty of dying, and individuated. I wondered...
Answers came and more questions surfaced. Pressing on the center. Shattering the construct and illusion of "reality."
- How would my outlook change IF I stepped to the side of it?
- What would happen if I turned away from culture and social media for a week, a month... that turned into 3 years.
- Would I discover a quiet existence, a beautiful rebirth in a swelling world of hope and beauty? Or would I somehow -- in this matrix -- cease to exist?
- Who could I be -- stripped of external influence or expectation?
- Who around me would remain until the end? And who might I drown along the way?

Vibrant. Radical. Abundant.
Scream at the top of your lungs...
Scream at the top of your lungs...
Bliss.
Where that place of connection to all that is and the attachment to nothing coexist.
I learned to speak to the cosmic skies -- the Gods and Goddesses moving and colliding in directions destined to determine our fate.
I learned how to speak to the sacred essence of my Soul and heal her with tender compassion.
I learned what it means to be torn to shreds and how to gather the pieces left to create new life.
I learned to honor the sacred path of remembrance I have walked in many lifetimes.
I learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life living in the moment offered and onhand.
I learned to receive and record the sacred journey of the evolution I desperately needed and called to me. Analyzing the stories and visions I had recorded during my blindness.
I needed and wanted to See -- to resurrect the buried and mascecated essence of my Soul. Blessed to rebirth and share the gifts I have uncovered in the darkness of Winter as the Goddess led my way home.
Belly to Earth -- I am Her daughter, the creatrix of change and the mother of my own reality belonging to the song of my Soul. I willingly bring these teachings home -- from the vast Temples of the Oracle we once lived and the pits of pain where our power and sexuality were stomped out. Teachings to empower you in your life.
To offer a different perspective than the story worn old for us all.

Shedding skin is painful regardless of the knowing.
Growth still hurts and change inevitably takes time.
It is often our human hearts that need space to evolve with the strength to beat again and then - the courage to emerge.
