folk tales have been told for centuries about the selkis beings who look like seals and who do what normal seals do but who have the capacity to remove their seal skins and walk ashore in human form they are first and foremost ocean creatures to be an ocean creature and to live a life that is of and in the ocean is their Essence there's often a story that's told about a man who caught a glimpse of a skky who had shed her skin he was so enamored with her that he could not handle the idea of
losing her back to the Sea so he captured her seal skin trapping her on the land and he hid the seal skin where no one could find it with no possibility of returning back to the Sea the selki resigned to living life on the land the years went by and she married the man they had children together she adapted to the life that she had on the land and then one day while she was finishing the housework one of her children approached her with something strange that he had found what he was holding in his
hands was her seal skin the skki felt the call of her Essence the essence that she had hidden beneath all of her human adaptations for so many years she loved her children and yes even her husband but the call of the sea was far too much to resist or to deny so she slipped on her silky skin and returned to the Sea never to come back to the land again but anytime her children or husband were down by the shore it said that a cure curious seal could be seen bobbing just [Music] offshore When We
Are Young born into environments that are not conducive to our Essence like the silky we adapt we adapt by suppressing denying disowning or hiding the essence that we are beneath a Persona designed to protect it our Essence represents our vulnerability this Persona we create protects our Essence by adapting in whatever way we feel is necessary to survive in the very specific situation that we find oursel in but at a price the price we pay is that we are no longer living according to our Essence all of the decisions we make and actions we take are
authentic only to our survival strategies they are not authentic to who we truly are and what we really truly want who we truly are and what we truly want and need has been hidden even from our own awareness but like the call of the sea for the skky our Essence never stops calling for us to return in 2025 we will be working with a theme that is so dominating it dwarfs all the other things that will be happening the theme for 20125 is refusing to live less than what is possible to live when the skki
gave up her ocean nature for a life adapted to the land the life she led was a painful form of settling it was less than her soul calling it was less than what she truly desired when we are not in our Essence because we are living a life from our adaptive strategies we are not living a life that matches our potential we are not living the best life possible for us we are not making the most of our time here on Earth instead we are settling for Less we're denying our true Natures we are living
a life that is so much less than what is possible for us to live at the end of our Lives we want to be able to say that we took the risks necessary to live up to the life that is possible for us the life experience that we really want deep down and we want to say that as a result of doing so we fully truly lived 2025 will force people to get to the point of refusal refusal to keep living a life that is less than what is possible for us to live but what
does it mean to be forced to get to this point of refusal it means the breakdown of our protector personas in the previous years people have been in a rut of some degree of suffering many people have been isolating themselves because of this a rut implies that nothing's really working they've been coping with that pain and trying to make everything work by using the strategies that belong to their most deeply ingrained protector personas in 2025 your protector personas are not going to work for you anymore you'll come to see how these adaptations to your culture
Society environment and early relationships cause caused you to go in the exact opposite direction of your true Essence and of what you truly want you will come to see how they enable and how they accommodate even for the very things that you don't want things that deeply harmed you and harm you still and you will see the ways you wrongly lived your life because of those adaptations ending up in a life that is less than the life that is possible for you to be living but this breakdown of your protector personas means a shedding process
proc resulting in the exposure of the vulnerability hiding behind them this is the Exum of your essence and with it your true desires and needs and this process is designed to make it impossible for you to live the way you have been living so far it is designed to bring you back to who you really are and to the life that is truly right for you but this process will make you feel deeply vulnerable when what you protected beneath the surface is being called to rise to the surface to be exposed you will find yourself
up against all of the beliefs fears traumas patterns and programs that justified that hiding denying suppressing and disowning of it to begin with this vulnerability will feel raw and new and right and promising and scary it will make you feel like a newborn so that you can understand better what I mean I'm going to give you two examples first let's say that a little girl is very sensitive and sweet and is a natural caretaker but she's born in the projects to a single mother who's addicted every day she's faced with the reality that her world
is a doggy dog world where she needs to toughen up and fend for herself and give off the impression don't mess with me she will develop a protector Persona that makes sense in this environment a Persona that's unfriendly Scrappy harsh guarded angry for years she's lived like this this Persona has hidden her true Essence as well as what she really wants and needs it's caused her to make the decision to work as a bartender why because she's been like this for so long that she now identifies as somebody who has really strong boundaries and who
can stand up for herself if necessary including against someone who's drunk it's caused her to attract people who like that she's so capable of fending for herself why because they don't want to take responsibility for anyone else's well-being it's caused her to lose the opportunity to be a nurse which is by the way what she would really really Thrive at because quite frankly people find her bedside manner to be so arming rather than disarming this woman finds herself in a scenario which causes the breakdown of this protector Persona in her case she's attacked after work
in a parking garage at the hospital she realizes that the only person who she has to call is a single girlfriend of hers but when she calls this girlfriend her girlfriend makes the excuse that she's out partying at a venue too far away to come to the hospital to be with her crying in the hospital bed she realizes that she can't do it anymore she needs people and she is afraid and she is alone and she has a deep desire for people to be kind to each other and to take care of each other seeing
the nurses fills her with longing she sees that her defensive Persona is not who she really is and more than that it's been inviting people to be defensive and aggressive with her it's been enabling people to abandon her it's been inviting Men Who make her f for herself it's caused her to be in a permanent state of tension in her body it's as if sitting there on that hospital bed that whole Persona that protected her for so long snapped and what she has left with is a feeling of through and through vulnerability she remembers what
she used to be when she was really young she remembers that she didn't used to be like this for the first time in a very long time what she usually feels under the surface of her defensive protective behavior is on the surface and it's unable to be hidden she's truly authentic so in the days that follow she can't muscle up like she used to she realizes more and more how sensitive she is she cries a lot she starts spontaneously being sweet to strangers and she makes the decision to apply to be a nurse again somewhere
new she starts dressing in a whole new more feminine wardrobe she moves to a different neighborhood specifically where she has access to a Nature Park which is necessary for her sensitivities she forms a friendship with a woman who is super super warm and affectionate and emotional and caring someone who quite frankly would have triggered her before why because it would have brought out her own vulnerabilities her sweet warm caring loving aspects the aspects that are desperate to be loved that way and these were the vulnerable things she kept hidden wanted to keep hidden she's now
on the right path in life living according to her Essence and in the life that she has now she is no longer settling for less than what is true to her Essence it's a better life than she once thought was possible for her example number two let's say that a little boy is naturally intense he's drawn to different interests that evoke passion from him he feels emotion deeply he thinks deeply differently than everyone else as well he wants very close deep harmonious Intimate Relationships but he's raised in a family where emotions are not seen as
okay in a little boy he feels powerless to creating these kinds of intimate deep relationships that he wants when he does things differently because he thinks differently his father flips out why because his dad wants everything exactly the way he wants it and there is hell to pay if things are not done exactly that way this little boy is consistently berated and shamed by his father he lives with a mother who simply watches the father do this as if she can't prevent it both his mother and father raise him to believe that the only way
to be okay in life is to please them and to please all the other people around him they raise him to believe that how he feels and what he wants doesn't really matter in order to stay safe and get any positive feedback at all and to avoid shame this little boy creates a protector Persona that has one priority one strategy answering to the needs of everyone else around him for years he has lived like this this Persona has hidden his true Essence as well as what he really wants and needs it has led him to
prioritize starting and running businesses that he is not passionate about but that get him the approval of others and of society at large it's led to him getting married to a woman that he was very good friends with but was never passionately in love with and now his marriage is falling apart and they're separated what else it's led to him spending his life running from fire to fire answering to and prioritizing whatever problem any person in his life happens to have at any moment it has led to him trying to caretake his aging parents on
top of run businesses on top of be the go-to person for all of his friends on top of have a successful marriage he's now so overcommitted that he is failing at all of it and he's also falling apart several times it's led to him making the decision to do things he doesn't want to do but feels his right to do or that he should do because it's what a good person would do and now he feels numb inside and dead he feels he doesn't know who he really is and what he really wants what's worse
he feels that these considerations are simply selfish he is constantly running from guilt this man finds himself in a scenario which causes the breakdown of his protector Persona though in his case he meets someone and it is love at first sight despite all of his attempts to resist he engages in a passionate love affair this relationship makes him feel alive again he feels deeply again he finds himself crying often the affair happens near the ocean there he has the realization that he put one of his biggest passions which is surfing aside to move to a
city where his wife wanted to live even though he hates it there he feels the magic of the ocean again and he feels a sense of Rage that he moved away from the places where he could just go to the ocean every morning he experiences what it is to be able to share his thoughts and to share how he feels and as a result feel deeply seen and heard and felt as a result he doesn't feel alone anymore he connects to how important it is for him to have these deep harmonious and intimate relationships he's
afraid that his life is going to fall apart he's racked with guilt about what this could mean for all of the people who are depending on him but he hates them at the same time why because it feels like all the people in his life and what they need from him are what is keeping him from what is truly going to make him happy in life what's going to make him feel alive he realizes that the life he built is not right for him that he's lived his life out of shs and that he can't
do it anymore his people pleas her Persona the thing that kept him safe for so long has ruined his life and he sees it now looking at what his life is and will be in the future if things stay the same he realizes that he would not be really living his life would be so much less than what is possible and as a result his protector Persona snaps and in his case he has a full-blown life crisis as a result his Essence Rises to the surface he decides that he wants to be aware of his
emotions and never suppress them he commits to figuring out what he really wants and needs and as a result hires a mentor and walks the path of shamanic healing he sells his shares of all but one of his companies the one he really is passionate about he gets a divorce he decides to move to the ocean where he surfs every day he involves his siblings and also hire his people to take care of his parents he does things the way that he wants to do them and learns to bring his wants and needs to the
table in each one of his relationships he learns how to prioritize according to His True Values and say no to things he knows is not right for him he decides that he cannot live without being deeply in love and in a secure relationship and so he makes a commitment to mastering the art of relationships and he makes a commitment to love he is now on the right path in life living according to his Essence and in the life that he has now he is no longer settling for less than what is true to his Essence
he got to the point where he refused to live a life that is less than what is possible and as a result he feels really and I mean TR alive he knows that on his deathbed he will feel like he got the most he could out of his life experience and made the very most of his time here 2025 is where Free Will must align with desire it's about the reversal of the suppression of essence this means the decision theme from 2024 remember is going to carry over into 2025 specifically the need to make difficult
choices with Precision according to your essence and with all of your free will so that all of your energy is behind choosing what you want in life rather than life happening to you in 2025 you are being called to choose the precise experience you want according to what you want in other words according to what has the most value meaning and importance for you specifically many people will find themselves in a kind of decision paralysis because of this not knowing what's right feeling like they can't deal with the suffering that may come with making the
wrong choice in this paralysis is the temp ation for the decision to be made for you but in 2025 you cannot live with that back seat option either there's a go big or go home quality to 2025 excuse my French but there's a kind of it energy for 2025 each person is being called to form a personal definition of an extraordinary life 2025 is the year of you can't live less than what you were meant to live you can't live less than what is possible to live this is a big risk year requiring Balls to
the walls level bravery in 2025 there will be no settling for Less the more proactive you get about this and the more on board you are with the shedding process that must occur no matter how scary or painful that shedding process may be the better so many people this year will undergo big life and lifestyle changes so many others will find themselves in a full-on life crisis if they aren't in one ready so many more people are going to enter into a life crisis in this upcoming year and this life crisis is calling people to
overhaul their individual lives essentially in 2025 your life will be under construction people being caught up in their own big life changes and for many life crisis will dwarf the importance of the more negative macrocosmic things happening in the world such as the escalation of the climate crisis and its Associated problems like serious fires hurricanes large scale flooding economic impacts displacements and even food shortages geopolitical tensions and also the misuse of artificial intelligence it's also going to dwarf the more positive macrocosmic things that are going to be happening in the world such as advances in
lab generated organs a huge increase in ESG investing increased demand for conscious and healthy food production a genuine spectacle of Northern Lights this year and breakthroughs regarding space exploration the first three months of 2025 is a real clash between the old and the new old systems with new systems old Trends with new trends old ideas with new ideas the thing is that the old and obsolete rarely surrender to the new without a fight and Europe is currently the hottest hot spot for this Clash but here's the thing Division and social polarization will continue across the
globe and this Clash is going to center around people not seeing the Need For Change specifically so to navigate these clashes between the old and the new this year which believe me you're going to find yourself in the middle of the focus needs to be placed on helping individuals recognize the need for whatever change is in question this year is going to shine a real Spotlight on the worldwide crisis regarding the expression of masculinity as well there has been and is a war against masculinity in the world today men are not allowed to be men
anymore and being disallowed from expressing all masculine qualities they've become quite frankly disempowered insecure and very weak this is creating a real liability regarding society's ability to be controlled and it's really destroying the relationship between men and women and there is no way for there to be a crisis regarding masculinity without there being a corresponding crisis regarding femininity well guess what though the way out of this mess lies with the masculine polarity which is the polarity that carries the vibration of initiation in 2025 and Beyond men must reown and express their masculinity they must be
advocates for each other in doing this and women must also advocate for them doing this we are in this time period on Earth where humanity is in the pressure cooker and because of this we are facing lots of challenge each year and the pressure is not letting up in times like this it's important to focus on those things that will act as a Guiding Light through the storm and the main thing that will be that for you in 2025 is socialization the need to be social is returning to Humanity thankfully other people have the medicine
you need to get you through your own personal process of shedding and of changing you need to be held and guided and accompanied by others stop trying to navigate through what you are facing alone build and lean into the webike network of the people you can depend on in your life each one is a special resource and can be a specific source of support for your process just as you are a special resource and specific source of support for them have a good all be it intense 2025 have a good year [Music]
