Some I resonate with very much, others not so much. This one touched on a core issue of mine for this lifetime. The very concept of ordination chafes me." To order by virtue of superior authority; decree or enact" I question what this superior authority is, I question do I need or want to be under it, need its approval, want its approval, benefit by its approval. To me, everything about this moment is about claiming our sovereignty, knowing who we really are. That the old paradigm of being under anothers authority is over. To me, it sounds like your soul has shown you how far you have come in this work of becoming free. It feels like a birthday present. In "Calling the Circle" something was said about in this time we are not to take anything personally, the moment we do, our growth stops.This information that was withheld from you that would keep your ordination in place...(by a superior authority with power over you?)It is not something to take personally. It seems like a wonderfully orchestrated situation to show you that you no longer need to be under any persons or organizations authority.The issue is not how to go back and conjure up some other form of ordination, but to revel in the fact that we do not need to be ordained by another. We are all ordained by virtue of who we REALLY are. This whole issue is something I am struggling with in the biggest way,in various forms.It is not easy for me, necessary though. There are so many ways to see things.This is what I am seeing in your story for me . I wanted to offer another possible vantage point, not necessarily an answer. Warmly, Susan Happy Birthday Amy,
