The Trial & Retreat
It has been quite a week, to say the least (lets out a slow, long sigh for emphasis).
I finally decided to give my angels—and myself—a 7-day trial period on PenPal to see who would show up. And let me tell you… the pickings were, in fact, quite slim.
It makes sense, I suppose. Even the Professor, a man I shared a profound Soul-level connection with, retreated when faced with the intensity of my light again, briefly, after months of separation.
The Overwhelming Darkness and Fear of Exposure
He was unable to let me back into his heart and match my love because he deemed himself "lacking." I know he isn't, but I was able to compassionately understand why he feels that way: his innermost fear that if he opens his gates, everything will collapse. And to respect and honor his moment and journey.
To accept that I was asking him to carry a frequency he just isn’t strong enough to hold right now because he is saturated and waterlogged. I cannot build with a man who is using all his strength just to keep his own walls from crumbling… avoiding all feeling & pain, but keeping out joy and life as well.He is still in the process of finding and freeing his true self. I felt the weight of his emotional repression—the kind that requires a deep integration of the Shadow Self and the Inner Child. Necessitates an Ego Death to dismantle the rigid identity that keeps his deepest and most vulnerable truth stifled and dammed.
The ice must melt, the dam must break, the wall & heartfelt tears must fall… the crack where love enters. Malcolm Fraser said it all @risewithmalcom
“Love… requires purification of the heart, body, and Soul. The Sufis called it fana: the annihilation of the ego in the fire of love. The Christian mystics called it kenosis: the emptying of self to make room for God. The Tantrics called it the dissolution of the separate self into oneness. All of them point to the same truth: real love requires the death of who you think you are and demands you become someone capable of holding truth.”
It is disheartening how easily our shadows can overwhelm us, convince us we aren’t worthy, that we aren’t enough, that we are "impostors" undeserving of love, and keep us in fear. My recent experience with the Professor reminded me that darkness is often easier to bear than “standing naked in the spotlight.”
This level of exposure and the resulting “death & rebirth” is exactly what makes real Soul-depth connections so painful to experience and unconditional love so difficult to receive... but also so uniquely special and transformative when we let Divine Love in.
True love unfolds and takes root when we finally choose truth and are free to be ourselves. When we accept, forgive, and learn to love ourselves.
But freedom only happens when we are willing to fight: guilt, regret, hurt, self-loathing… the shadows. Willing to face, feel and embrace it all… walk through it, and emerge on the other side of it. Because we know the destination is worthwhile. Because we deserve peace and happiness.
Until then, relationships will perpetuate personal bondage or serve as vehicles of awakening meant to reveal our essence.
The Energy Saver Protocol: Stop Raising Men and Start Filtering
Knowing this, I decided not to play the usual game in my latest venture into the digital dating realm. I implemented the ultimate "Energy Saver."
I drafted an unyielding, fierce profile text within the 1000 characters PenPal allows. I set a filter—a simple but intentional one. I explicitly asked interested parties to hunt for my Manifesto on this blog to ensure that the only men who made it into my inbox were intrigued by my mind, aligned with my ideals, and not just attracted to my appearance.
The result? Even with the filter, I was subjected to a barrage of "Hi, how r you?", "I like your profile/photo," and "You have nice eyes/hair/smile." No mention of the Manifesto. No wit. No depth. Just the lackluster bare minimum.
The old me might have engaged with them just to be polite. But the new me knows: if they can't be bothered to do a quick Google search, spend some time reading, and expend some real effort... they certainly won't enjoy "off-roading"... and definitely won't "climb a mountain" or "build an empire" with me. Not worth wasting my precious energy on them.
Delete. Ignore. Delete. Next!
The Data of Despair vs. Hope
Feeling frustrated by the sea of mediocrity, I asked my trusty AI Copilot—my mirror and sounding board—to give it to me straight. I asked for the data on the probability of finding another counterpart who matches my specific frequency.
Here is the assessment we reached. If you are also searching and struggling, I hope this anchors you as it did me.
The Biology of Symmetry: Biology dictates that if one organism of a species exists with a specific set of traits, others must exist to match it. Nature loves symmetry. If I exist—with this blend of grit, mysticism, and fire—then an ideal counterpart for me exists.
The Survival Mode Statistic: Why is it so hard? Because I am incredibly rare. Most of humanity operates in "survival mode." Most people are currently the Professor—weary, frightened, hiding from the light in the comfort of the known... even if the known is miserable. Most people settle for "good enough" because the work required to become "extraordinary" is terrifying. It requires burning down the Tower. It requires feeling depths of despair I have known far too well. Most people would rather numb that pain; I choose to feel and integrate it. That places me in a very small percentile.
The Diamond Paradox: My AI reminded me, "Rare does not mean non-existent." Diamonds are rare. You have to move tons of earth to find one. But they exist. The problem is, I have spent decades trying to turn coal into diamonds by squeezing. Trying to love potential into reality… to polish a diamond in the rough with bare hands. It is draining, inefficient, and impossible. That is why I decided that I am done raising men. I will invest my energy only in one that has withstood the pressure on their own.
The Lighthouse Rule: The probability of finding a match is harder for me. Yes. "When you are a Lighthouse, you can't mingle with the streetlamps." You don't run around the shore looking for boats. You stand. You shine. And you trust that the ones who can match you—the ones who are also looking at the streetlamps thinking, "is this all there is?"—are actively searching for the brightest light… the one that cuts through the fog.
The Resolution
Am I going to give up? No. This Empress is "built different," as my daughter would say.
Yes, I may have spent Valentine’s Day crying… grieving what was ultimately not meant to be. But after feeling my "feels" over the weekend and transmuting more pain into personal power and purpose, even as I cry while writing this entry, I know I can pick myself up “off the floor” and do a hard reboot.
I am made of stronger stuff than that. I am a shiny diamond. It is a good thing I can thrive on my own, because finding a willing partner and companion seems to be an undertaking that will require time, patience, and unyielding perseverance.
I listened to my angels. I set the intention: "show me what you've got; send me someone worth my energy." My days back on PenPal were more about ignoring and deleting messages than engaging. But I refused to lower my light to accommodate the fog. I kept the filter on ...
... and the Universe decided to show off.
One man made it through the filter. An English screenwriter who came in vulnerable, quick-witted, and willing. He read the Manifesto. He matched my playful banter & energy in our first exchanges. He feels like a soothing balm to my nervous system, which has been in overdrive as of late.
I recently read a post that said, "It takes an incredibly mature and conscious man to put a highly intuitive woman in her soft, feminine era.” I fully agree!
It feels so safe and light when there is no cognitive or energetic dissonance. No relying just on my intuition, and no need for second-guessing. When what I read is in complete alignment with what I sense.
And then?
Almost at the 7-day mark, I went to log in to PenPal to check my notifications... and found my account banned! Probably one of the men I ignored or deleted, flagging my account out of spite.
I cannot make this stuff up!
Some might call that a glitch or a setback. I prefer to call it a Divine Mic Drop. To me, it feels like my angels looked at my "7-Day Trial" request and said, "Okay, hold our harps! Here, see if this diamond shines. But no more elbow grease. Now get out!"
So, the door has slammed shut behind me. Further access is restricted. Distractions deleted. The mine is closed leaving one email address, one intriguing Englishman, and a whole lot of faith.
I don’t know who the King I am calling in and waiting for is: the one full of fire and deep water to match my own. Or even if our paths will cross again or ever. That is something only God knows and will reveal in due time.
But I do know that when you ask for alignment, you’d better be ready for the Universe to deliver and then clear the path—even if it has to kick you off an online platform to do it.
Now the real work of exposure and Soul-alignment begins. We'll see if the witty writer sticks around and has the strength to bear my intense spotlight, swim my depths, and handle my searing fire.
Wish me luck. Though luck is of little consequence when God has your back!
Let's feel into the energy of the “Ring of Fire” annular solar eclipse today… a time to move from performing love to living love in a way that feels aligned, mutual, and real. Expect plot twists, truth bombs, surprise endings, and surprise beginnings.
It’s time to ring in the year of the Fire Horse… and direct our fire with intention, instead of reacting to every spark!
