“Where am I going?” “Who will go with me?”

If you ever get these questions in the wrong order, you are in trouble.

“You have to give up the life you have to get to the life that’s waiting for you.”

Rather than fight change–and build up emotional scar tissue– we can be enabled to see events in a different light, accept the changes, and get on with our lives. The further we stray from our true mission in life, the more frustrated we will become, and the more out of sync our energy will be. By coming to know your mission, you can live your life in a way that makes best use of your energy. You’re also making the BEST EXPRESSION of your personal power.

Our life’s mission, or contract, cannot be defined or measured simply by our external life. Your purpose is not only your career, hobby, or romantic relationship. A contract is your OVERALL relationship to your personal power and your spiritual power. It is how you work with your energy and whom you give it to. It is also how much you are willing to surrender to Divine Guidance.

Your life is composed of many facets that shimmer and reflect both your physical and internal energy.

Patterns: dynamic forms of energy shared in many people’s thoughts and emotions across cultures and countries

Archetypes are the architects of our lives. They are energy companions through whom we can learn to understand ourselves. (psychological & emotional pattern)

How we live and whom we love– can lead us to a profound understanding of our purpose. Their energy can connect us to our Higher sacred contract.

Each event, each person in our lives embodies an energetic fragment of our own psyche and soul. Our individual spiritual task is to recognize and integrate all of them into our awareness so that the greater pattern of our mission can shine forth in its full dimensions. Learn to transform heavy physical relationships and emotions into spiritual gold. The process involves prayer and contemplation, and it requires an examination of the fragments of life’s experiences and relationships.

Everything has a role regardless of how painful or joyful it may be.

Certain things-certain relationships have been necessary taking on specific duties have been necessary whether delightful or burdensome. By developing symbolic sight and archetypical languages you will grasp the whole of your life with a level of spiritual clarity that can heal emotional and spiritual wounds accumulated and fill you with awe that your life is of great importance to everyone you encounter.

it becomes possible to trust that everything that is meant to come your way will arrive in due time, that you will be with the right people at the right moment, and that divine guidance endlessly flows into your soul.

The DIVINE takes care of the SACRED.

Arriving at a natural transition point in life — the time is right for ____.

Letting go of the “old”, to allow something “new”. [LINDA VONOHLEN]

[DANIELLE VONOHLEN]: My mother always had a way about her, and the past few weeks have been challenging. The above is a blessed reminder that each of us have “a part” of the whole. Some of us feel broken, looking for pieces. And some of us feel whole, looking for the next thing to “break”. For me, I have been both. There have been moments of life that feel unbearable and then there are moments that have felt like pure gold flowing through my veins.

Nearing 40, I have been dealing with the Archetype of “Patriarchy”. Where I have caught on to the pattern that it still is a system alive today. Where it is “a man’s world” and woman just is a side idea. This realization hit me very hard in 2025. I sat on a couch and realized the manipulation that has transpired since a little girl in always being told essentially – I can’t.

Man can go and do and achieve, but a woman, well she will “mess it up”. In my last posts I talked about Adam and Eve and how that seems to be the religious perspective of that story. “Well if Eve wouldn’t have ate the fruit, humanity wouldn’t have suffered” was and is a common theme in many sermons I have encountered. But if one truly reads the Bible–nothing happened to humanity until Adam ate.

Then God came looking —

WHERE ARE YOU — is the first question in the Bible that God asks man. Where is your heart? What happened?

God came looking FOR His creation. The BEST creation He had made.

HU-mans.

He Divinely knew already. How honest were they? Not very. These two humans had everything– they lacked no food or water and had every responsibility to the entirety of the garden: Naming animals, enjoying fellowship with Creator– walking and talking with Him, enjoying one another intimately. The knowledge of “good” and “evil” \ “good” and “bad” replaced the “knowledge of life”.

Patriarchy, I have learned, is the flawed system that Adam continues when He looks at God and says, “it’s this WOMAN you put me here with”. As though God’s divine understanding and specification of woman was not to be the proper help mate for him. As though God got it wrong and the world just needed more Adams. Being a woman in the system has been not an easy task– millennia of males making rules, systems, technology, and leading. I have asked myself lately “do you have a problem with males?” and I would say I have not a problem with them but the problem with wanting to participate and feeling the resistance. I did not put me in this earth tent as “female”- GOD did. I was created by Creator to BIRTH something…fearlessly and wonderfully made to do amazing things with this body. And the system tells females, often, they have to be something other than. More beautiful, slimmer perhaps, more intelligent, less emotional– we are “too much” so just “shut up” and “sit down” let the “men do it”.

My dad looked at me over the weekend and told me “You’re no better than you were when you were a teenager. You need to grow up.” The stab at my heart, hurt. Watching an old man who I have wanted love from say hurtful things and be my #1 pessimist for my life has been an awkward reality. Has he wanted good for my life? Yes. That I can say. He always wants “more” though… never satisfied with having 3 girls that he himself helped bring into existence. I am better off than I was when I was a teenager. As a teenager I was more confused. More unsure of my voice and direction and I held a lot more pain inside. I had forgotten the CONTRACT. I had forgotten that I just have to show up. Each day– wake up & show up. The work will come, the people will come and go, the experiences will be lived through. But it was survival at 19. As a new mom, caring for another child, I entered survival mode. Not just for myself, but to shield my child from as much as I could.

That being said, I do give my dad grace for his own pains and wounds I don’t think he has even cared to inspect, assess, and grow from. I feel blessed to have had my child and to have been able to raise a compassionate young man. I pray that he will be guided through his life to break the systems and that the Lord God will shield his heart from the pains that have generationally plagued out societies and families. That he will be able to truly be free in this country and “pursuit of happiness” will ring true for our family name. He is the last to carry the name in our tree.

It’s interesting to me most that Jesus hung on a cursed tree. That the lineage from Joseph would have been cursed, but from Mary’s line, the Savior from sin and death came to exist and walk the path of Immanuel (“God with us”) for all to remember how to get back to the beginning, to Father. Not all follow the Lord and take His words as Faithful and True, but they are. For this one–I haven’t seen this clearly for most of my life. I have my heavenly Father to thank for that. And I don’t have to ask “where am I going” and I don’t have to ask “who is going with me”. I’m not lost anymore. He found me.

I asked my son one day if he liked hide & seek.

He answered. “I like hide and seek tag.”
