The very last blog I posted on this site was about breathing, letting go and having faith. I think it is only befitting that this new blog entry, close to 7 years later, be all about transmutation, resurrection and thriving. Plus, I find it to be a beautiful synchronicity that I decided to take up blogging and Vlogging again 6 days after Easter, a celebration of the most meaningful resurrection. "The number six encourages you to be loving, caring and nurturing of yourself and others."
Why has it been so long? Jessica, where have you been? I have been down and out, through the slums, treading mud, frozen in shock, drowning in tears, consumed by anger, deep in depression, unveiled through the Holy Spirit, raised by angels, blessed with love and light, transmuted, resurrected, and hopeful that my time to thrive awaits just around the corner 🕊️ Is Hannah okay? Yes! Thankfully, this mama was able to keep her inner turmoil and all external traumas from impacting Hannah beyond the inevitable fallout and collateral damage that was to be expected. By the Grace of God, she and I have both revived; stronger, happier, braver and more resilient.
Seven years is a very long time. "The number seven tells of a beneficial time with obstacles overcome and successes realized." I love numerology, astrology, philosophy, spirituality, anthroposophy, and everything and anything that quenches my infinite curiosity and enables the reflective questioning that leads to personal growth, spiritual development and TRANSMUTATION. To transmute, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is to subject something to transmutation, in other words change or alter in form, appearance, or nature and especially to a higher form. The process of transmutation was discovered and studied in the 19th century by Albrecht von Herzeele and later confirmed by one of my all time favorites, Rudolf Steiner.
The concept of transmutation was originally applied in the field of physics when referring to the alchemy that transmutes the elements. However, Steiner went on to use the term to refer to the spiritual transformation of memories and experiences. In one of his many works, Theosophy: Chapter II. Re-embodiment of the Spirit and Destiny, Rudolf Steiner refers to the soul as a preserver of the past... the preserver of memory continually gathering treasures for our spirit. He goes on to explain how the soul enriches and enhances the spirit by transmuting life experiences into all of the abilities that allow for personal and spiritual growth and development.
"The impressions that man acquires from his experiences fade gradually from memory. Not so, however, their fruits. We do not remember all the experiences lived through during childhood while acquiring the arts of reading and writing. Yet we could not read or write had we not had such experiences, and had not their fruits been preserved in the form of abilities. Such is the transmutation that the spirit effects in the treasures of memory. The spirit consigns to its fate whatever can lead to pictures of the separate experiences, and extracts therefrom only the force necessary for enhancing its abilities. Thus not a single experience passes by unutilized. The soul preserves each one as memory, and from each the spirit draws forth all that can enrich its abilities and the whole content of its life. The human spirit grows through assimilated experiences, and although one cannot find past experiences in the spirit as if in a storeroom, one nevertheless finds their effects in the abilities that man has acquired."
Before you freak out and think, this entry can´t be from the same Jessica who wrote all of the other entries in this blog... well, it is and know that I am no longer the same person I was. So much in my life has changed, and this will be very evident in the coming posts and future Vlogs I plan to start sharing again. I woke today at 6 a.m. (yes! 👀 I know, the number six again✨) after a very vivid dream involving love, family, hope and happiness. Upon waking, I felt the presence of Spirit and my heart swelled with love and light. I have come to refer to these interventions as "divine inspiration". I have been blessed with them throughout my life... and, let me tell you, they have never led me astray. Quite the contrary, they always occur at pivotal moments in my life that, in retrospect, I discover to have been turning points along my journey.
Well this divine inspiration will surely be no exception. When these intercessions happen to me, it's as though I am possessed, overcome by an intense impulse to search for / discover / acquire / relearn some knowledge, thing, product, or person that will be important / impactful / life-changing. Be it for myself, for whatever company o person I am working with, and / or for a group of people I am meant to empower or advocate for. Today, I think this intervention was meant for a mixture of several if not all of the above. I was impacted by a handsome young man who showed up in my dream. Because the dream was so vivid, I felt strongly that this person existed in the real world.
The inkling that the young man in my dream must exist in the physical realm led me to search for young entrepreneurs in Guatemala (the protagonist of my dream was an entrepreneur in his late 20s or early 30s with dark hair and kind deep set eyes). This search led me to discover Jorge Delio, a young podcaster here in Guate who in turn led me to Volkanno Tours, a tour agency specializing in mountaineering, also here in Guatemala. I was immediately drawn to the beauty of the volcanoes I saw on their Instagram. While browsing their feed, I came across a mother´s day promotion where you could enter to win a tour to one of these gorgeous locations. I was hooked, but in order to apply I had to share an Instagram story on my account and tag them.
My social media profiles were deleted or abandoned many years ago, around the time when I was hit by the first wave of all of the unexpected tragedy that found it´s way into my personal life. I fell into a deep depression and complete and total social isolation, and mind you this happened many years before the pandemic. My only interactions during that dark time were with Hannah and trips to the outside world for school drop-off and pick-up, replenishment of resources, and Hannah or adult life related errands. All of this to say that my social media accounts have only recently resurged, and purely for purposes of keeping up with Hannah´s day to day school experiences and managing my clients' professional social media accounts. Yes, during these last 7 years, fate brought me back into the professional world as a strategy consultant, specializing in marketing.
I have two large clients. My main client is an infertility clinic and the one I am most passionate about. I am currently working on a revolutionary mind and body fertility coaching program that we are set to launch in the coming months. For this program, I was divinely inspired to find the works of Dr. Alice Domar and Shinzen Young. They are both incredible professionals with jaw dropping resumes, visionaries and pioneers. But beyond that, I felt confirmation that both of their bodies of work (as well as the work of a few others I was also led to for the development of this program) reflected and embodied an undeniable evolution in spiritual consciousness.
My other large client is a pharmaceutical company. Wait what!? I know, I know... trust me, I was just as shocked when life led me in this direction. But again, I was divinely drawn to this client. They are not your run of the mill evil behemoth pharmaceutical company, out to maximize profits and further a dark global agenda at all costs. Rather, it´s more like a local family run pharmaceutical lab where I like to think I´m inspiring positive change. I also manage my sister´s YouTube channel as a fun way to stay connected with her and earn a bit of extra spending money. I accept smaller clients from time to time but, without exception, I will only work with clients when I feel a connection to their purpose / reason for existing. I decided long ago that I would only use my professional skills, spiritual gifts and intellectual prowess for good, and I stick to this guiding principle.
Anyway, I digress, back to my story. So entering the Mother´s Day Mountain Experience contest meant I would have to update my Instagram accounts, both of them. I have a personal one I set up to join Hannah´s class Intagram account and a professional account, which is the one I use for clients. I went ahead and added my personal Instafeed on this blog so you can see what Hannah and I look like 7 years later 😉 While updating my personal account, I decided I would add this blogger website to my profile. That is what prompted the destined decision behind all of this internet searching and updating. Before adding my blogger link, I got side-tracked re-reading my old posts and having the strong desire to write again because I realized that, during these past couple of years, I acquired important life-lessons that merit sharing. In that moment, I felt divine confirmation that it was time to come out of the shell I've been in... time to exteriorize all of the internal changes undergone... time to metamorphose and start embracing my purpose and life mission: to be a real positive mama, a beacon of light and hope, a catalyst of change, and an energy transmuter.
Okay, so now that you are briefly caught up on my life (I promise to elaborate and go into more detail in future posts and Vlogs)... we can get back to the complex, but incredibly insightful teachings to be found in Steiner's anthroposophy. When I came across his extensive line of work and delved into the treasure trove I found online, I was astounded to find that everything of his I read resonates with me... down to my core essence. I know at first glance his phrasing and explanations can feel overwhelming! But believe it or not, after the initial overload I felt tackling his writing, I found myself intuitively understanding and recalling, with complete comprehension, all of the aspects of his philosophy I've been exposed to thus far. In his works I found myself initiated into the mysteries; advanced spiritual teachings of eternal truths I have experienced, realized, and validated in lives past. A switch was turned on and a divine connection was activated through my exposure to them in the present.
I agree with Steiner when he explains that "in each life, the human spirit appears as a repetition of itself with the fruits of its former experiences in previous lives." The experiences of our soul are not bound by birth and death. Our body is subject to the law of heredity; our soul is subject to its self-created destiny; but our spirit is under the law of re-embodiment, repeated earth lives. Each time our spirit descends and is embodied in this physical realm, it brings with it what it has acquired for itself in the previous life. "Just as the life body reproduces the form from species to species, so does the life spirit reproduce the soul from personal existence to personal existence." This is what is meant by personal and spiritual growth and development. This is what Divine Source / God / Spirit intends... to experience, to develop, to learn, to awaken, to grow, and to transmute.
"The spirit within me... is not restricted to the impressions of the present alone. The soul extends the spirit's horizon over the past, and the more the soul is able to bring to the spirit out of the past, the more does it enrich the spirit. The soul thus hands on to the spirit what it has received from the body.... From the world of the spirit, the spirit self brings to the “I” the eternal laws of the true and the good. These link themselves through the consciousness soul with the experiences of the soul's own life. These experiences themselves pass away, but their fruits remain. The spirit self receives an abiding impression by having been linked with them. When the human spirit encounters an experience similar to one to which it has already been linked, it sees therein something familiar, and is able to take up an attitude towards it quite different from what would be the case were the spirit facing it for the first time. This is the basis of all learning. The fruits of learning are acquired capacities. The fruits of the transitory life are in this way graven on the eternal spirit."
I now know that my current personal resurrection; the awakening and revival I am experiencing was destined to bring me back here, back to the beginning, to take a look back at and into myself... but this time for purposes of sharing my spiritual impressions, the fruits of my journey... all of my acquired capacities and lessons learned. May you find in them hope, encouragement, and a guide out of the darkness... towards your own process of rebirth and transmutation 🌟.
