Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young ~ Catalyst for a New Dawn
You have heard of the dark night of the soul. Many of you have experienced it. It is the time when you hit an energetic rock bottom, and you realize that you simply cannot continue on the way that you have been. It is the moment when you drop resistance and embrace change. The low acts as a catalyst to detach from an old timeline and shift into something far more conscious and expansive.
What you may not realize is that the dark night of the soul can also happen for a collective, and that is exactly what is happening on your earth at this time. And what is so remarkable is that you chose to come to the planet as a source of unconditional love, and a stabilizing support, as the old bottoms out in preparation for shifting fully onto a new time line.
Dark nights of the soul are difficult. They are messy and distressing, but they always signal a huge leap in growth and the opening of new potentials and possibilities. They happen because the individual, or the collective, is ready for more; they always mark the end of one phase and the dawn of a new day.
The dark night is a transformative process designed to birth the new. You might liken it to hard labour. You do not think that you can possibly survive, but you do survive, and much good comes of it. It might help to consider yourselves birthing coaches for the new. You cannot take on the labour for another, but you can certainly stay calm, offer support and encouragement, and share in the wonder of the birth that is sure to come.
This is the time to allow the process, but to also be the anchor of love and reassurance that others are seeking. Your beingness is your gift, Dear Ones, that shines a light forward for others to follow; and that is glorious service, indeed.
