Throughout time, there’s been a quiet game of holding the key while dangling it just out of reach.
It shows up in every story — the seeker and the gatekeeper, the teacher and the taught, the chosen and the left behind.
Even within the spiritual world, it’s easy to see this pattern repeating.
We hear of ascension, new dimensions, and those “moving ahead” while others remain in an older paradigm.
But when I sit with that idea, it doesn’t feel true.
If we are all part of the One, why would awakening lead to more separation than we already live in?
What if this isn’t a ladder to climb but a spiral to remember?
Each of us moving through awareness in our own rhythm — looping, pausing, learning, returning.
No one ahead, no one behind. Just infinite expressions of the same Source exploring itself.
Those who seem to “hold the key” don’t actually hold it for anyone else.
The key is already within us.
True teachers don’t unlock the door — they simply mirror back the light so we remember where to look.
Maybe the old paradigm isn’t something to escape, but to embrace with new eyes —
to see that even those who seem asleep are dreaming a part of the same dream, helping the collective awaken.
No one is left behind.
Every path, every pause, every moment of forgetting leads us back to the center —
the hub of the universe, where we never truly left.
With love and blessings,
