The Point Was Never to Perfect the Illusion: Part III

a hush after thunder

There comes a moment—not at the end of life, but somewhere in the middle—when the old questions no longer satisfy, yet the new ones haven’t fully formed.
It feels like a hush after thunder. The storm of seeking quiets, but what remains is not peace—it’s presence. Charged, silent, waiting.

A tension appears. Between what the soul remembers and what the day-to-day still demands. Between the light that calls and the gravity that pulls. Between the veils we’ve pierced and the ones we still pretend not to see.

This is not confusion.
It’s initiation.

For many walking the spiritual path, there comes a silent turn:
It’s not that the search has failed—but that something deeper has begun to rise, underneath the search itself.

This rising is not comfortable. It dismantles the thrill of certainty, the performance of progress. It doesn’t flatter the ego. It humbles the soul. And yet, in that humbling, a strange clarity emerges:

“Where have I really been on this journey?”
“What am I becoming?”
“And why, despite everything I know, does the ordinary still feel so heavy?”

These are not naïve questions. They are the soul’s ripening cry. Not for answers, but for alignment.

Some feel a quickening, a surge toward something luminous. Others feel a fatigue, a dragging weight, as if the old story no longer fits but the new one hasn’t arrived. Often both are present in the same breath.

What’s happening?

You may be in what could be called the Second Veil.
Not the veil between ignorance and knowledge—but the one between knowledge and surrender. You’ve seen behind the curtain. But now the curtain itself dissolves. You’re not being asked to know more. You’re being asked to become transparent to what moves through you.

The struggle isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign of convergence.
The soul is no longer content to remain in the abstract. It wants to anchor its truth in the real—in relationships, in art, in language, in silence, in presence. This is the sacred labor. And it is not meant to feel easy.

So where are we going?

Not up. Not out. But in—into a transmission of self that no longer separates the divine from the human. We’re being called to embody what we’ve glimpsed. To let our creations, conversations, and even confusions be part of a new soul-language emerging on Earth.

And what once felt personal—“my progress,” “my path,” “my calling”—begins to widen. It becomes a lens through which many see themselves. The individual becomes a living symbol, not of attainment, but of transparency. Of listening. Of surrender.


Final note:
If you’re feeling both illuminated and unsettled, surging and stuck—
You’re not lost.
You’re being asked to become what your soul already knows.

This is not a test.
It’s a remembering.
