The sacred union of darkness and light
The Sun / Christ - the New Time - I AM - divine detours - radical self-enquiry
Dear Community,
At this most divine time of the year we are invited into the fertile, rich darkness of silence and stillness to rekindle the light of the greater, higher truth that is the Sun / Solar Center / Son — who will resurrect in Spring.
The Solstice and the 12 Holy Nights are offered to us to receive the most profound gifts of our spiritual awakening, and transform within the fire of Christ Consciousness — the ‘Divine Child.’
This is a gift of the purest love, which can only be experienced when we create space and silence to enter the infinite source of our consciousness, and clear away the illusory mind fabric of Maya that keeps us ensnared in thought systems sponsored by fear.
It’s for this reason that we haven’t written updates for a while — our energy has been turning inwards. As a mystic, I truly honour this sacred moment of the year, where the alchemy of consciousness, light and dark are themes for enquiry.
A new operating system
This winter solstice marks exactly 12 years since the birth of the ‘New Time Energy’ on the planet, during the solstice of December 21, 2012 ( — alchemically, 12 is an important milestone).
Since that moment, the operating system of every child being born on the planet has a deeper inner balance of light and dark, feminine and masculine energy, and a vaster influx of their ‘spirit energy’ integrated into their cellular structure. They also have a stronger presence of both love and boundaries, expressed from their equally strong, purpose driven, will.
You may have also experienced more of this kind of ‘new energy.’ Does this resonate with you, beyond the beliefs of your mind?
The unification and balancing of polarity: light and dark, feminine and masculine, earth and spirit, are core to the New Time on Earth that we are increasingly moving into, and therefore core to neos·life.
Why balance and unification? What many people don’t realise is that too much light can be destructive just as darkness can actually be loving. Too much light is acidic and can burn through matter and burn us out. Darkness is rest, the primordial fertility of the womb and the soil, as well as boundaries and protection.
Our task is not to feed polarity by quickly labelling something as light or dark, good or bad, but rather to draw everything out of shadow, and into awareness and actions that move us towards a paradigm of unconditional love, joy, and sovereignty.
Light and Darkness are both essential for this task — the only task that really matters for all of us at this time on Earth; why we chose to have this experience…
And that is to radically and profoundly shift out of the thoughtware, the scripts, the beliefs, the programming that we are living our lives by, which keeps us entrenched in an illusory and infinitely smaller version of WHO WE TRULY ARE.
The I AM
Let us be even clearer about this. For as someone who has been deeply engaged with this path for over 20 years, challenging our thoughts and beliefs can sound like rudimentary level work. The invitation is to go much deeper.
For example, the Course in Miracles offers that every single thought is either sponsored by love or fear. The former will attract miracles, and the latter will deflect miracles.
Do you consider anything more important than cultivating miracle mindedness as a daily practice?
All of our man-given concepts, from ‘time’ itself, to the common narrative of a human life (e.g. birth > school > training > work > retirement > deterioration > death), are false constructs, hallucinations — from the perspective of ultimate consciousness.
Focusing on oneself has been demonised as selfish (selfishness is a thing, but now it is common for any kind person to be afraid of appearing selfish), whereas the truth is that our only hope of resurrection is through the I AM — through each and every individual reawakening to their own unique blueprint and shedding the fake ‘I’ unto their Higher Self. Only this leads to real unity with everyone and everything else.
In every significant example, the truth has been inverted. Can you find other examples of truth inverted? In what ways does your ‘future’ or higher self invite you to question and enquire more profoundly now?
For this work of breaking out into our true multidimensional nature, the loving ‘darkness’ of willpower, clarity, discernment, boundaries — the power of our ‘NO’ — is as vital as the light of our inspiration, passion, joy and compassionate love.
This is the culture we will be fostering at neos·village — a place where each individual is supported to fully actualise into their I AM state of being. A place for and of awakening leaders of a beautiful, New Earth.
We are so excited for this journey to begin at this level, where every sincere heart is welcome to come to explore the depths of their soul, and what it means to be a thriving humanity.
Divine Detours
For those of you who are curious to hear our updates on neos·life, it is in this primordial space that we find ourselves.
Regarding securing ‘the promised land’ for neos·village, by grace we have a final two more months in which to complete. The cosmic joke is that it took several months to find an ideal investor, and when we believed we finally did in perfect timing to sign in December, circumstances beyond any of our control prevented the conclusion we all wanted.
Yet far from being frustrated, blaming the system, or stressing and imploding under pressure, a far more profound update is the expansion of ever deepening peace, trust, and devotion — to choosing love over fear — that we have experienced in the last seven months.
We simply know, that this journey is perfectly designed to carve us into the instruments we have signed up to be, in a way that possibly no other situation could so effectively have created. And so again, there is light in the darkness.
As always please reach out to us if anything here speaks to you, or sparks an interest in collaboration.
2025 Creation
We offer the themes, points and reflections given here in service to those of you who value the sacred practice of radical self-enquiry, journalling, and the ritual of intention setting at the beginning of each year.
Besides creating neos·life, our intentions include that this year be infinitely more easeful, blissful and powerful for all of us regarding aligning ourselves and the world with the blueprint of Heaven on Earth.
With love to all of you,
Karen, Vincent, our team and partners.
