There is something happening right now that feels undeniable. Documents are being released. Elite corruption has been exposed in many ways, including the Epstein files. Human trafficking is not a conspiracy. It is a documented global crises. Institutional manipulation exists, media bias exists. Power structures are being questioned, and when truths surface that contradict the version of reality we are handed. The nervous system reacts, freeze, fight, flight, fawn, even sending love can be fun. Even just hold the light can be freeze. We want to say this clearly we are not okay with what is happening, but we are learning to accept that it is happening, and acceptance is not weakness. It is stage two of transformation.

For anyone who is familiar with our teaching, this is the framework we use every transformation personal or collective, moves through seven stages of a vine, timing, cycle, awareness you see something. Acceptance, you stop denying what you see. Self responsibility. You ask, what is mine to do? Activation, you begin to move. Acceleration, momentum builds, transmutation, old structures begin to collapse. Integration, a new normal stabilizes. Right now, many people are between awareness and acceptance. And acceptance is the hardest stage, because once you accept something is happening, you cannot pretend it isn't.

Acceptance is not approval, and acceptance is not endorsement. Acceptance is not surrender, and acceptance is not trying to be okay with it. Acceptance says this is occurring. Trafficking exists, corruption exists, manipulation exists. These are not metaphors conspiracy theory or us focusing on the negative. If we refuse to accept reality, we remain in shock. If we spiritually bypass it, we remain passive. And this is where Matt's teaching from. Everything is here to help you becomes powerful in that book, he shares again and again that everything arises, even the painful, destabilizing things, are here to help you, but not just to make you softer, not just to make you heart centered. They're here to help you become courageous, to step out of hiding, to stop shrinking in fear to move from collapse into clarity, everything is here to help you grow, and growth requires facing what is

not all of us are here to simply hold a frequency that is one path, but it is not the only path, and sometimes, if we're honest, holding a frequency becomes a hiding place, a way to stay comfortable, a way to avoid confrontation, a way to avoid discomfort. Courage does not feel calm. Courage feels uncomfortable, and it is our attachment to comfort that keeps us from taking action when it is needed in our own lives and when our global family needs us most. The world does not only need regulated humans, it needs brave ones.

There are two accelerations happening simultaneously, the acceleration of exposure and the acceleration of awakening. When distortion loses control, it intensifies, it gets louder, more chaotic, more obvious. That's not the system collapsing, at least not yet. That's exposure, and exposure makes it possible for others to be aware and to move into acceptance. Without acceptance, there is no self responsibility. Without self responsibility, there is no activation. You don't get to skip the stages. You move through them consciously.

When something destabilizes you today, try saying, I accept that this is occurring. Not, I approve, not, it's fine, not. It's meant to be, or even I'm trying to be okay with this, just I accept that this is real. Then ask what stage Am I in? Am I in shock? Am I resisting or am I ready to move forward toward responsibility? Acceptance sharpens perception, self responsibility sharpens power, activation changes reality.
Joy Kahn 4:49
So as we close this conversation, take a moment and place your hand on your heart and say, I accept what is happening now. I do not approve of it, and I will not. Hide I will activate the courage to respond. Everything may be here to help us, but what it's helping us become is braver and brave humans change worlds.
