When a man and a woman come together for the sacred purpose of creation, there must be a presence greater than themselves—the fifth element: LOVE. It is through this divine force that the miracle of life is activated. When their union is infused with LOVE, the soul of the newly born vessel intrinsically knows its name and its root.
The child’s innate qualities are organically awakened and will continue to unfold throughout their entire life. At the moment of conception, it is the Christing Light that begins the child’s journey, and it is this same Light that will guide and sustain them through every stage of their existence.
This profound act—the union of two families—creates an abundance of life force, and from this merging, a new family is born. The blood of generations past flows forward to bring life to the newborn child, forming a bridge between the old and the new. This life force, imbued with the golden light of Shekinah, becomes the thread that connects us all in the sacred lineage of creation.
Through this divine act, not only is a new child born, but so too are a new mother, a new father, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, and grandfathers. We are transformed by this process, becoming something greater than ourselves—creators of a new family.
I believe the cornerstones of a thriving family are Respect, Love, Joy, and Ritual.
RESPECT forms the foundation for all healthy relationships.
LOVE is the sweet elixir that sustains and nourishes the family.
JOY elevates the spirit, bringing harmony and connection.
RITUAL is how we acknowledge and honour the divine presence in all aspects of life.
Rituals and ceremonies hold a unique power to bring families together, offering a sacred pause from the routines of daily life. These acts of celebration honour the divine union at the heart of family and creation itself. Without the holy, ceremonies can feel hollow, leaving participants with a sense of incompleteness. Our authentic human nature is rooted in our connection to the myths and truths of creation. To celebrate anything without first honouring the gift of creation is to miss the essence of what gives life meaning.
As this remarkable year draws to a close, I invite you to reflect on these thoughts. Together, let us remember: we are all the Creator’s divine creation, bound by a shared lineage of Respect, Love, Joy and Ritual. Together, we are the Creator’s beloved family.
Heart to Heart, and Blessings to you this Christmas Elizabeth
Jealousy as a Compass: Working with a Shadow Attribute within the Living Attributes Codex
In the Living Attributes Codex, every light attribute carries a shadow, a counterpart that emerges when the light is challenged, unacknowledged, or misaligned. Trusting, for example, is a heart-centred attribute: open, generous, and confident in connection. Its shadow, jealousy, often arises when desire, attachment, or fear of loss enters the field.
Far from being a flaw, jealousy is a compass. It signals what truly matters to the heart, highlighting desires and values that may be unacknowledged or underdeveloped. The key is not suppression, but conscious engagement: noticing the shadow, understanding its message, and intentionally redirecting its energy into the aligned light attribute.
This practice, which I call “Correct and Transform”, provides a clear roadmap for working with the Codex. By observing jealousy without judgment, identifying the underlying desire, and transforming the energy back into trust, we turn a potentially destructive emotion into a powerful tool for self-referencing awareness and growth.
In this way, jealousy becomes a propeller on a person’s Sacred Spiral of Consciousness rather than a trap, guiding us toward deeper trust, authentic connection, and mastery over our own emotional landscape. This dynamic perfectly illustrates how the Living Attributes Codex can be applied in daily life: by honouring both light and shadow, we cultivate wholeness rather than suppressing what is present.
Light Attribute – Trusting
Nature: openness, generosity, confidence in connection, and ease in vulnerability.
Expression: belief in the integrity of relationships, self, and possibility; allowing flow without constant guarding.
Significance: trusting is the heart’s capacity to welcome life and others without fear, embracing what is real and shared.
Shadow Attribute – Jealousy
Nature: emotional charge triggered when trust feels fragile, or desires go unacknowledged.
Expression: ill feelings, comparison, fear of loss, or attachment.
Signal: jealousy is a compass pointing to your heartfelt desires; it illuminates what matters deeply to you. It is not “bad”; it is information about your unmet or threatened value.
Correct and Transform: Engaging the Shadow
1. Correct – Observe and Identify
Pause when jealousy arises: Recognise it without judgment.
Ask: What desire or attachment is this pointing to?
Distinction: “This is jealousy, an aspect of my shadow, signalling to me what my heart values.”
2. Reflect – Understand the Signal
Explore the deeper meaning: Why does this matter? Which part of my trust feels vulnerable?
See jealousy as a Sign, not a threat. It reveals your authentic desires.
3. Transform – Shift your Energy into Trust
Affirm what you can genuinely influence or cultivate.
Release imagined threats or comparisons beyond your control.
Reconnect with trusting energy: openness, generosity, and confidence.
4. Act – Align Behaviour with Insight
Express desires authentically.
Nurture connections or pursue constructive action.
Let jealousy be a self-referencing guide in your decisions without dominating them.
5. Integrate – Living Attributes Codex Self-Referencing Spiral
Journal Your Patterns: what triggers jealousy, what desires it reveals, and how you successfully transformed it.
Foster growth to strengthen trust, ensuring jealousy remains conscious, constructive, and transformative until it no longer arises.
Key Principle: Jealousy is the shadow of trusting. It signals what the heart truly wants. Through the Correct and Transform process, jealousy becomes a compass guiding your trust, clarifying your desires, and cultivating authentic connection.
I’ve been reflecting on a message from Gregg Braden about the ancient scroll that speaks of the seven great battles between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness. As I let the imagery move through me, I began to feel it weaving itself into the language of my own Living Attributes Codex.
What once appeared as an external conflict now feels like a map of the inner landscape, where each so-called battle is really a moment of initiation. The Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness become archetypal forces—my Higher Purpose Archetypes calling me toward coherence and the Flawed Character Archetypes tugging at old wounds, habits, and patterns that obscure clarity. When I view it through the spiral lens of my practice, it becomes impossibly clear. This ancient story describes the internal spiritual evolution every human is being summoned into now.
As I listened to Greg’s interpretation, I felt the familiar stirrings of my own Animal Wisdom: the Lioness reminding me to stand in my sovereign strength, and the Hawk calling me back to perspective when my mind becomes crowded with shadows. Each battle described in the scroll mirrors these instinctive movements—light meeting the unlit, wisdom meeting distortion, presence meeting the remnants of my conditioned self.
Gregg Braden says the final battle is not won by force but by divine intervention—and I hear this not as an external deliverance, but as the moment the Legions of the Heart begin to speak louder than the unhealed narrative. It is the moment when my Radiant Self, that Living Goddess within, steps forward and reminds me: You are not bound by the limitations you inherited.
Whenever I try to overpower my inner darkness, I only make the shadows sharper. But when I return to the 12 Light Centres, a spiral of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, pink, magenta, silver, cyan and gold, I soften. I expand. I remember what the ancient ones were trying to say. The “battle” dissolves into understanding. This is the divine intervention: the movement from fragmentation back into coherence.
True divinity, he says, is the capacity to rise above perceived limits. For me, that is the entire purpose of the Living Attributes Codex. Each Primary Light Attribute, each Archetypal Gateway, each breath into the spiral is a way of reclaiming the soul’s original architecture. When I engage these practices of the breath, the heart and the spiral, I feel the old programming loosen. I feel myself stepping into a wider field, one where I am not fighting for my light but allowing it to lead.
There are still days when the inner conflict feels vivid, almost mythic. Days when my Flawed Character Archetypes tug at old threads, and the mind tries to predict outcomes from past wounds. But in those moments, I return to my Quest Gateways. I listen. I breathe. I let the Angel Songs rise within me. And slowly, my inner world softens. I remember that the darkness is not an adversary but rather a dormant chamber in the temple of my psyche, waiting to be illuminated.
In this way, the message from the ancient scroll becomes a living text, not a story of war but a story of awakening. A reminder that humanity’s evolution will not be achieved by force, but by coherence. Not by conquering but by re-membering my divinity. Not by dividing, but by returning to the radiant wholeness that lives beneath every archetype, every flaw, every breath.
As I walk this path, I feel the vibration of the Living Attributes Codex. And I know the ancient wisdom aligns with my Harmonic Seed and Blueprint Spiral, and I arrive at a place that is both familiar and new. An alignment that reminds me that I am a living spiral of consciousness and that I have within me the original spark of divinity, which gives me the ability to transcend.
Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
The Seven Battles: Overview
In the War Scroll, the final apocalyptic conflict is described as a series of battles between the forces of light (the Sons of Light) and the forces of darkness (the Sons of Darkness). These battles are both literal and symbolic, representing the struggle between divine order and chaos, truth and deception, consciousness and ignorance.
1. The First Battle: The Battle of Awareness
Symbolic Meaning: The awakening of consciousness. The Sons of Light begin to recognise the presence of darkness within and around them.
Modern Interpretation: This battle is about becoming aware of the illusions and deceptions in the world and within oneself. It is the first step in spiritual awakening.
2. The Second Battle: The Battle of Identity
Symbolic Meaning: The struggle to remember one’s true self. The Sons of Light must reclaim their divine identity.
Modern Interpretation: This is the battle against false identities imposed by society, ego, and trauma. It involves remembering one’s soul purpose and divine origin.
3. The Third Battle: The Battle of Will
Symbolic Meaning: The test of resolve. The Sons of Light must choose to align their will with divine will.
Modern Interpretation: This battle is about overcoming doubt, fear, and temptation. It requires the courage to act in alignment with truth, even when it is difficult.
4. The Fourth Battle: The Battle of the Heart
Symbolic Meaning: The purification of the heart. The Sons of Light must cultivate love, compassion, and forgiveness.
Modern Interpretation: This is the battle against hatred, resentment, and division. It involves opening the heart and healing emotional wounds.
5. The Fifth Battle: The Battle of the Mind
Symbolic Meaning: The mastery of thought. The Sons of Light must overcome deception and confusion.
Modern Interpretation: This battle is about discerning truth from falsehood, breaking free from mental conditioning, and cultivating clarity and wisdom.
6. The Sixth Battle: The Battle of the Body
Symbolic Meaning: The embodiment of light. The Sons of Light must anchor divine energy into their physical form.
Modern Interpretation: This is the battle against addiction, disease, and disconnection from the body. It involves living in harmony with nature and honouring the body as a temple.
7. The Seventh Battle: The Battle of Unity
Symbolic Meaning: The integration of all aspects of being. The Sons of Light must unite within themselves and with each other.
Modern Interpretation: This is the final battle of separation versus oneness. It involves transcending duality and realising the interconnectedness of all life.
Gregg Braden emphasises that these battles are not just external but internal. The real war is for our humanness and divinity. He speaks of a message encoded in our DNA, “God eternal within the body”, suggesting that our divinity is the source of our power in this ancient struggle.
I also see the Seven Battles of the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness are archetypal stages of spiritual evolution. They represent the journey from ignorance to enlightenment, from fragmentation to wholeness. Each battle is a test of consciousness, calling us to align with truth, love, and unity.
As I move through the changing landscapes of my life, I keep returning to a quiet, steady truth: every relationship I hold—family, friendship, partnership, creative collaboration, or community—shapes the texture of my inner world. Each bond carries its own gravity, its own influence, its own invitation to grow.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the wisdom in don’t invest in someone who doesn’t invest in you is not sharp or defensive. It is tender. It is clarifying. It is the kind of truth that arrives when I finally listen to what my own energy has been trying to tell me.
I’ve known relationships where I was the one who kept the flame alive—where the conversations moved because I pushed them forward, where the care flowed mostly in one direction, where my presence was offered but not truly met. These moments didn’t make me naïve; they revealed how deeply I wanted connection to flourish.
But I’ve also learned that reciprocity is the heartbeat of healthy relationships. Every connection breathes through mutual presence, shared responsibility, and a willingness to meet each other with honesty. When that balance fades, I feel it. Something in me strains to compensate, and I start shrinking to maintain what no longer has the structure to stand.
Choosing not to invest in places that do not nourish me is not an act of rejection. It is an act of restoration. It is me returning to the centre of my own field, gathering back the energy I scattered in hope, and honouring the truth that my care is a precious resource—not something to be spent in silence.
And when I honour that truth, my world shifts. Space opens. My breath deepens. I find myself drawn into relationships—of every kind—that meet me with readiness and respect. People appear who show up without prompting, who hold their part of the bridge, who recognise that connection is something we build together.
This clarity doesn’t close my heart; it refines it. It guides me to place my energy where it can echo and expand. It reminds me that I am at my best when I’m in relationships that understand the value of mutual investment.
Because when the exchange becomes balanced and alive, every connection—family, friendship, love, or creative partnership—becomes a vessel for evolution.
Below is a clear, explanation of the commonly referenced 12 “Laws of Karma.” These aren’t literal laws but a modern synthesis drawn from Buddhist, Hindu, yogic, and transformational frameworks.
They function as psychological and behavioural principles that influence the trajectory of a person’s life.
1. Cause and Effect → The brain’s quiet ledger It’s remarkable how the mind keeps score. Every action, every intention plants a seed in the nervous system. Over time, those seeds grow into patterns—reinforced, repeated, and eventually embodied. We live inside the consequences we’ve rehearsed.
2. Creation → The sacred responsibility of agency Life doesn’t merely unfold; we participate in its formation. Neuroscience calls it a sense of personal agency, but it feels more like the quiet knowing that we are co-authors. What we choose, repeatedly and consciously, shapes the path under our feet.
3. Humility → Meeting oneself without distortion Humility isn’t smallness; it’s clarity. When we’re willing to see the unvarnished truth of our behaviours and motives, the fog of bias begins to lift. In that honesty, transformation finds its opening.
4. Growth → The brain’s willingness to rewrite itself Neuroplasticity is simply the scientific name for an ancient truth: we are not fixed. With practice and intention, the brain rewires, habits shift, identity softens into something more expansive. Growth begins inside long before the world reflects it back.
5. Responsibility → The art of choosing our response Life brings its storms, but our emotional landscape is shaped by how we interpret and respond to them. The research calls it “cognitive regulation,” but in lived experience, it feels like reclaiming our sovereignty—moment by moment.
6. Connection → The invisible threads that bind everything We exist inside a network of influences—family, memory, environment, belief. Nothing is isolated. Each choice we make sends ripples outward, touching far more than we can see.
7. Focus → The compass of attention Where the mind rests, life follows. Attention is limited, sacred, and powerful. When we scatter it, we dilute our becoming. When we devote it, we enter alignment with who we are trying to become.
8. Giving and Hospitality → Embodied values Generosity is not an idea; it is a nervous system action. When we offer support, compassion, or presence, the brain responds with warmth, trust, and connection. Our values only become real when we live them.
9. Here and Now → The grounding that frees us The past can echo, and the future can beckon, but clarity happens here. Mindfulness pulls us back into the immediacy of lived experience, where decisions become clearer and the heart steadier.
10. Change → The soul’s pattern-breaking Life repeats its lessons until we meet them fully. Neuroscience describes this as revising or reshaping our mental frameworks —the rewiring of deep patterns. In lived experience, it feels like awakening to a doorway that we’ve been walking past for years.
11. Patience and Reward → The long arc of devotion Transformation asks for steadiness. The ability to wait, to nurture a vision without demanding immediacy, strengthens the brain’s reward pathways and anchors long-term change. Some of the most meaningful outcomes arrive slowly, but unmistakably.
12. Significance and Inspiration → The quiet legacy of every act Every gesture, no matter how small, has an influence on the world. Purpose activates deep layers of meaning within the mind. When we act from that place, we not only shape our own path—we inspire others to step more fully into theirs.
I have been revisiting an early chapter of my life lately — one I thought had already dissolved into understanding. When I was four years old, I had to leave my father. The circumstances were painful, shaped by elements of abuse toward my mother and me. I won’t go into the details, but what matters is the shift that happened inside me from that moment on. Something rose in me, a self-protective vigilance, and I stepped into a version of adulthood no child should ever have to carry.
My father never supported me in my life after that, not financially and not emotionally. And almost without knowing it, I took up the role of provider and protector. I became the one who must make ends meet, who must stay alert, who must keep the emotional sky from falling. Even now, I can feel the echo of that child who believed she had to be the one to hold her own world together.
It’s astonishing how these early imprints continue to ripple through our lives, even decades later. I am nearly 67, and I’ve forged an extraordinary story of dignity, strength and hope. And have accomplished many wonderful things in my life, including creating an amazing transformational tool, guiding others through profound transitions, and writing three books on healing yourself, owning your story, and embracing your spiritual evolution. I have lived as both student and teacher of transformation. And yet, here I am, arriving at a place I never knew was still waiting in the landscape of my own story. It has been nudging me gently, yet it has taken me by surprise.
Even with all my tools, wisdom, and lived experience, something tender has been rising, the old feeling of needing to be an adult too soon, resurfacing like a forgotten song.
You see, forgiving my father came long ago, as did compassion. But some stories lodge themselves in the body, not the mind, and they wait for the right moment to be rewritten. I am beginning to understand that this moment of healing is connected to my art, with me finally and fully claiming myself as an Artist.
Because drawing and painting were the one thing my little self truly loved. It was my sanctuary. My joy. My untouched realm of innocence and wonder. As I open myself to this identity wholeheartedly, it feels as though I am stepping back into the place where I once felt totally free and at ease in the world.
This form of creative expression is awakening a part of me that never had the true luxury of childhood. With every creation I embrace, I can feel her coming closer. In every choice of colour, I sense her presence again. It is as though she trusts me now and trusts that I can hold what she could not.
This season of my life feels like a gentle rite of passage.
Not into adulthood because like U said I did that a long time ago. But into an inner holiday, a newfound gentleness, and an inner homecoming, all coming together as one sweet sigh of deep gratitude.
I am learning to speak to that four-year-old with the voice of the elder she never had. I am letting her know that the danger is long gone.
I am letting her know she doesn’t have to make ends meet, emotionally or spiritually, ever again. I am letting her know she is allowed to play, to create, to be messy, to explore and to have, at last, the childhood she lost.
Perhaps this is the true gift of growing older: a ripening into softness, a return to what was once abandoned, a liberation from the roles we had no choice but to inhabit.
I am ready to let the little girl play. And I am prepared to hold her with tenderness. I am ready to paint her back into wholeness.
And in doing so, I am allowing a new story to take shape, the one where survival no longer leads the way, and the Artist within me finally steps into the light she always carried.
