2026 Autumn Equinox Message from Cie

There are two ways to live in this world. One is believing in the appearance of things and being governed by that, and letting the wounds of the world bounce off our personal wounds to make us feel that is “reality.” The second way, which we are going to explore today is to let the pain and suffering we’ve experienced lead us into a more conscious way of living – making decisions about how we want our lives to be, and hanging only onto that, through thick and thin, continuously pivoting toward Love.
Even if we haven’t always received the love we desire, we can now choose that love for ourselves. In order to begin this new way of living, we have to see clearly what our payoff is for us being a victim. Or, we just have to decide to give ourselves what we didn’t receive from others in childhood or in previous relationships and stages of life.
So, let’s make a Blueprint: In the Spiritual, Mental/Emotional and Physical arenas, here’s how it would show up:
Spiritually: we set an ideal – what we aspire to be. Ask yourself who or what that would entail. Let us feed our soul’s passion. What did you love in childhood? What most excites and interests you?
Mentally/Emotionally: who we’ve decided to aspire to be trickles into attitudes. Like if we’ve taken Jesus or Love as our model ideal, then we might consider how we could be more loving in certain areas of our lives.
Physically how would that manifest? If love is our ideal, and we want to apply a loving spin on areas of our lives, what actions would be taken?
Self: What would your life look like if you were to give yourself the love you’ve always wanted?
Work: Create immediate, mid and long-range tangible goals based on your deepest purpose in life – even if what you do for a living isn’t yet connected to your reason for being on Earth at this time. You can still bring love, compassion, helpfulness, and encouragement to your place of work.
Relationships: Everyone has regrets in relationships, but what we can do in present time is be as standup as we can, stop doing harm, and make amends.
The next thing we can do is examine how we handle emotional pain, because how we have done that may be the source of how our lives have gotten off-track. Whether it be using drugs or alcohol, or taking it out on others, or refusing to even acknowledge we’re in pain, none of those things work to heal pain. If we sit with the pain and confront it squarely, it will move. Pain moves in waves. Whenever we are feeling it, we can take a timeout to be still and go physically into the space between our heart chakra and our thymus with our eyes closed. Envision a fountain of Love rising within, like you are your own best friend.
What do we know about God? What do we know about Love? What do we believe in?
Being in the present moment with the answers to those questions is the only thing that’s real.
The past is someone’s version of what happened. The future is a projection of our fears. Coming into our bodies in meditation and love, instead of trying to escape, is what will provide relief.
In these times of change, it’s no accident that we chose to be born in this difficult, tumultuous time that needs us to bring our special abilities and talents to this earth, so that a rise in all consciousness may occur. The key is how to make it work for ourselves and all other life. The key to our stability is to connect with that heart space inside ourselves in the present moment, whenever that is – because that’s our Higher Selves acting on our Ideal.
…Even if we’ve mistaken ourselves for the clouds in the sky. We are not the clouds, nor the rain. We are the sky itself. We are so vast, but we’ve forgotten what we were created to be. The part of us that is here now is only the size of our pinky. Like an iceberg, the part above water is unbelievably small compared to what we can’t see below the surface. Let us call upon our Higher Selves and the angels for answers. We cannot receive help until we ask for it, because we are meant to be Creators with free will choice, even if it might seem obvious to the Universe that we need help. It’s the great gift and the great curse!
Actually, because we are creators, we are Prophets, because everything we decide about our lives, and say about our lives, either is, or will become true. As soon as we put something out there, our sub-conscious says, “Oh okay, if _____ wants that, I’ll make it so. And then we keep creating the same thing over and over – mostly by default, when we’re not being conscious. So, let us watch our thought patterns and see the truth of that. If we examine our thoughts, we will see that we are manifesting what we are thinking about. Even when it’s hard to switch to the positive because the reality in front of us is so strong, we’ve got to remember we are more than that.
So, let us keep veering gently back to what we do want, not what we don’t want.
Let us spend some amount of time in Nature every day that we can, even if it’s just meditating with a plant and letting the birds, animals, and insects teach us by observing them carefully, without preconceived notions of what they are capable of.
Finally, let us let ourselves be merciful to ourselves and in our life situations.
Even though it’s a bit lengthy, I’m including my poem, How To Love Ourselves, Part II from my book, The Path of Love; A Way to Heal (on Amazon books), because it reiterates much of the above.
