When women enter The Change – Part Four

In early December 2025. I felt a quiet invitation to reshape my wellbeing. It was not born from urgency but from an inner knowing that it was time to return to practices that have always supported me. Fasting is a practice that I have experienced before, both in physical healing and spiritual deepening. Returning to it felt like reconnecting with an ancient conversation within myself.

As I shaped a personal program that felt true to my body and my intuition, a new insight arrived unexpectedly. I discovered the work of Dr. Mindy Pelz and her research on fasting during menopause and post-menopause. Her language and her understanding carved out a clearer path for me and affirmed what my body had already been revealing. It opened a new window into what was unfolding in this season of my life.

Now, only weeks later, something immense has stirred within me. My Sacred Mirroring Spiral feels awakened and illuminated more than ever. The Change no longer feels like a decline or a narrowing; it feels like a widening of consciousness. It feels like a threshold. There is a sense of returning to myself in a way that is both ancient and new.

This opened even further while I was listening to the song Hymn to Her. From an archetypal point of view, I could feel the Crown (Crone) rising. It was the quiet image of a woman who has walked through many seasons and finally places the crown upon her own head with grace. 

She does not seek applause; she simply recognises her own BEING.

This is where the true meaning of Crone and Hag becomes vital to reclaim. Crone speaks to the crown, the radiant wisdom that emanates from a lifetime of lived experience. Hag comes from hagio, meaning holy, a title once given to women of spiritual insight and depth. These words were originally filled with reverence and respect. 

Over time, they were twisted and distorted until they became caricatures that diminished women. The demonising of the Hag and the Crone did not happen by accident. It grew from a culture that feared powerful older women and worked to cast them as something to resist, fear, or mock. This distortion turned aging into something women were taught to hide, deny, battle, and feel ashamed of. It created an illusion that the later years are a descent rather than an ascent. Yet the original truth remains intact beneath the layers of distortion. Many feminist and spiritual communities are now reclaiming these titles to restore their dignity and power. They honour the original holiness of eldership and the strength that comes from a life fully lived.

In my own experience, The Change reveals itself as a fusion of three inner archetypes in the Living Attributes Codex. The Queen embodies sovereignty, self-respect, and a centred presence. The Wise Woman brings lived understanding, kindness, and clear perception. The Alchemist offers transformation, insight, and the ability to turn every experience into meaning and medicine. When these three merge, they create the fullest expression of The Change archetype. They form a powerful inner alliance that sees aging not as decline but as initiation. They recognise this season as a time of sovereignty, coherence, and inner radiance.

My journey with fasting, reflection, research, and intuition has brought me to this realisation. The body and spirit are inseparable, and together they guide me into this new chapter with clarity and courage. The Change is not a diminishing of power, but rather a remembering of it.

It is the awakening of the Crone or the Hag in her original light. It is the fusion of the Queen stepping forward, the Wise Woman watching with understanding and the Alchemist shaping new meaning. It is a woman finally seeing herself as whole and sacred, wearing The Crown that was always waiting for her, and has always been hers to claim.

And we will keep on speaking her name… “WOMAN”

Spiralling into 2026

Happy New Year, wondrous Souls

As the days quietly unfold into 2026, I’ve been senseing that we are stepping onto a new turn of the Sacred Mirroring Spiral within the Living Attributes Codex. A new cycle doesn’t arrive with a bang, it always arrives more like a remembering. A familiar feeling, met from a slightly different place within ourselves.

Because the spiral moves in a twelve month rhythm, January often carries a reflective quality. It’s the first month, yes, but it’s also a return point. I’ve noticed over the years that things can resurface around this time. Old memories, childhood themes and familiar emotions. 

Sometimes even stories that feel much older than this lifetime. Not because we’re going backwards, but because we’re ready to meet them again with more awareness.

For me, January always sits strongly in the physical realm and over the past few days, I found myself revisiting some of the past life stories I wrote for Wisdom of the Ages. I wasn’t doing it intentionally at first, but the revisiting of a sore knee made me notice how present these stories suddenly felt. Yet this time, I was meeting them from a very different place. Not as stories on a page, but as living experiences that now make sense in a deeper, more embodied way. The stories hadn’t changed, I had and came with some significant synchronicities. 

This is one of the ways the spiral works. It doesn’t repeat things to frustrate us or keep us stuck. When something comes back around, it’s usually because we now have the capacity to hold it differently. With more compassion. More steadiness. More self trust. What once felt unresolved often returns asking only to be witnessed from who we are now.

I wanted to share this with you because many of you may be noticing similar things. A sense of déjà vu. A feeling that something familiar from your past is entering your awareness again. Rather than pushing it away or over analysing it, try gently asking what this moment is offering you now. 

What feels ready to be integrated rather than fixed?

Working with the spiral means understanding that life isn’t moving in straight lines. It’s unfolding in living patterns that support our growth. Nothing is here to punish or test you. It’s all information, arriving at just the right time, shaped by how far you’ve already come.

As you move through January, allow yourself to be curious. Notice what’s resurfacing without judgement. Trust that the spiral is working with you, not against you. You are not being pulled back. You are being invited deeper, and a little higher, at the same time.

May this month feel spacious, may it feel kind, and may you sense the quiet intelligence of the Living Attributes Codex beneath your feet, reminding you that every return carries new wisdom, and every cycle brings you closer to your own embodied truth.

Trusting and Jealousy: The Light and Shadow Dynamics

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.

The 12 Karmic Laws Interpreted

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.

The Human Psyche as a Temple

In many esoteric traditions, the temple has always symbolised far more than a sacred structure; it is the living architecture of the soul. Each pillar represents sacred knowledge, each chamber a hidden facet of consciousness awaiting illumination. We are the builders of this inner sanctuary, and are called to summon and integrate every part of our being, light and shadow alike, until we stand whole in divine harmony.

Within us live many forces that are both shadow and angelic by nature, and move as archetypal expressions of our inner world. These are not external beings but elemental forces of consciousness. The shadow spirit reveals what has been denied, and the angel ray reveals what is possible. Together, they form the sacred circuitry of the self.

When we repress the shadow, we become ruled by it, bound to unconscious impulses and fragmented expression. Yet when we seek only light, clinging to purity and transcendence, we sever our connection to the earth and our true essence. Our mastery lies not in escape but in balance, the sacred marriage of heaven and earth within.

The path to wholeness invites us to:

  • Acknowledge the shadow with awareness and courage.
  • Transform its destructive charge into creative power.
  • Balance it through the virtues of Angelic Light.
  • Align that power with our higher purpose.

The Alchemy of Integration

Modern mystics, Jungian psychologists, and spiritual practitioners describe this inner work as shadow integration, the conscious art of reconciling light and darkness within. My Living Attributes Typology is a subtle yet metaphysical framework that explores how habitual or shadow spirits attach to specific aspects of one’s flawed character, revealing the architecture of the unseen self.

I can say with confidence that this framework offers profound insight and continues to serve as an inner compass for my own growth and transformation. Each shadow aspect represents an unrefined energy, a creative impulse, a potent current that can either bind or liberate, depending on how it is met and transmuted.

When the angelic and shadow aspects are brought into dialogue and when light meets its reflection, a sacred alchemy begins. The psyche harmonises, and the fragmented inner temple becomes whole. This integrative practice involves pairing each shadow aspect with its angelic counterpart according to one’s unique configuration of archetypes, referred to as Light and Shadow Attributes within the Correct and Transform process.

The four essential movements of this process are: Identify, Clarify, Specify, and Unify.

  • Identify what you are feeling or experiencing: Acknowledge the shadow with awareness and courage.
  • Clarify why you are feeling this way: Transform its destructive charge into creative power.
  • Specify what you truly desire: Balance and refine the impulse through the virtues of Angelic Light.
  • Unify by living your realization: Align that renewed power with your higher purpose.

Through this alchemy of integration, the light and the shadow are not adversaries but partners in evolution and the very dance through which the soul remembers its wholeness.

For example, within the Queen archetype, the shadow attributes may express as weakness, jealousy, or destructive qualities that obscure her innate sovereignty. 

Yet, in this case, when one aligns with the Angelic Ray of Camael and embodies strength, trust, and benevolence, the Queen’s authority becomes luminous. Her power softens into heartfelt responsibility, and her leadership becomes love in action.

Each Shadow Spirit thus can stand as a gatekeeper, and each Angel Rayas a guiding force. The key is we must be awake to the true nature of our own psyche. Together, they restore the sacred geometry of the soul; a radiant temple where the human and divine coexist in unity.

Going Deep in the Age of Distraction

The New Frontier of Human Evolution

We live in an era that celebrates connection but quietly erodes attention. Our thumbs scroll, our minds race, and our souls wait—patiently—beneath the noise. The modern human is data-rich but meaning-poor. We know more, yet understand less. The world offers us infinite surfaces, but growth now demands that we go deep.

Depth Is the New Intelligence

True intelligence is not measured by how much we consume but by how deeply we engage. Neuroscience shows that the brain’s prefrontal networks—those responsible for insight, empathy, and creativity—activate most powerfully when we slow down and allow for sustained focus. Scrolling disperses our attention; reflection gathers it back into coherence.

Every time we pause long enough to feellisten, or contemplate, neural integration occurs: different experiences knit together into a tapestry of understanding. This is the biological basis of wisdom. Awareness deepens not through information, but through integration.

The Evolution of Awareness

Human evolution is no longer about survival—it’s about consciousness. We are now shaping not just our external environment, but our internal one. The next leap in evolution will not be genetic but perceptual: the expansion of awareness beyond the reflexive patterns of distraction and reaction.

Spiritual teachers have long intuited what science is now beginning to confirm: awareness itself is transformative. Meditation research at Harvard, Stanford, and the Max Planck Institute shows that consistent contemplative practice strengthens neural pathways associated with attention, compassion, and emotional regulation.

In other words, going deep literally restructures the brain—we become more present, more awake, more human.

The Attention Economy vs. the Inner Economy

The world we inhabit profits from our distraction. Each swipe and click trains the nervous system toward fragmentation. But beneath that constant motion lies another economy—the inner economy—where value is measured not in likes or views, but in presence, insight, and stillness.

To reclaim that economy, we must treat attention as sacred currency. Every moment we give to silence, every conversation we inhabit fully, every question we sit with rather than rush to answer and reading long-form content (like this blog post)—these are acts of quiet rebellion against a culture of haste.

Depth is not withdrawal. It’s engagement with essence. It’s choosing to sense rather than scroll, to witness rather than react, to inhabit reality instead of escaping it.

Practicing Depth in the Everyday

Depth is not found in monasteries alone—it’s cultivated in daily life. Begin with simple, radical acts of awareness:

  • Breathe before you respond. That single pause transforms reactivity into consciousness.
  • Read slowly. Let ideas digest rather than drown you.
  • Observe your mind. Watch it crave novelty, then gently guide it back to stillness.
  • Choose presence over performance. Life unfolds in moments, not metrics.

Each act of attention reclaims a piece of your consciousness from the machinery of distraction. Over time, this becomes spiritual strength—the capacity to dwell fully in reality as it is.

The Future Belongs to the Deeply Awake

To grow now is to go deep. To evolve is to cultivate awareness in a world designed to scatter it. Our collective future depends on individuals willing to anchor stillness amid speed, to seek understanding over accumulation, and to remember that the quality of our consciousness shapes the quality of our world.

Depth is not an escape from modern life; it is our way forward. Because what the world needs now is not more information—it’s more awareness. And your willingness to go deep may well be the most revolutionary act of all.
