Navigating Life’s Passages – When We’re In Between Life Chapters, What Can We Do?

by Robert Wilkinson

Last year I gave you an article about the “in betweens.” Whether you’ve noticed or not, we’re all still “in between” what was and what will be. Many things have ended since last year. What is there to do when we’re hanging out in the void?

Because of the constant disruptions, purifications, and revolutionary impulses of our times, many have found themselves in between jobs, relationships, places to live, spiritual inclinations, and ways of doing our Being. Today we revisit how to navigate “the in betweens.” While I realize some of you read this 10 months ago, I felt it would be good to take a new look at some of what I introduced in this article, as well as the linked articles on this subject.

This article is the follow up to A Space In Time – Astrology and 2012, where I explained that humanity is between great Ages, and as such we all will be feeling that we’re constantly in between life chapters, life relationships, and constantly changing spiritual emphases. From that article:

In any case, the traps of the old 4D world are gradually ending, since perception based in subtle senses is growing stronger and will continue to grow for thousands of years to come as a function of human evolution out of the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The reason the subtle field and our ability to access it grows stronger is due to Neptune conjunct Chiron in Pisces at the Cusp of the Age in close opposition to Trans-Pluto, or Percephone, aka “Divine Mother Energy.” This vast, subtle field of relatedness is what humanity is now opening to in this 21st century.

We are not yet left the Age of Pisces, and yet are experiencing the Age of Aquarius due to Uranus and Neptune passing through that sign, as I’ve explained in past articles. We have been awakened to Aquarian energy, dreamed it into collective consciousness over most of the past decade and a half, and await Pluto’s passage through Aquarius to see the seeds of the new Era sprout. Until then, we’re collectively in “the in betweens.”

So if you are in doubt as to what’s up because you’re sensing “the in betweens” in your life, you’re not alone. Billions of us are now in “the in betweens.” The challenge is to go inward to the heart of compassion within you, realize your one-ness with All-That-Is, and allow yourself to be in the Now, freed from the thieves of the past and future stealing your attention from what Is. You have nothing to lose but your separateness and your fears.

There’s more, as well as a link to the original article on “the in betweens.” In the follow up article, “Navigating the In Betweens,” I offered a few insights about how not to get hung up in the moment, and how to open to “an attitude of gratitude” for all that we’ve experienced in the old era while staying open to all that could come to us in the new. Here’s a small piece from that article:

Often in life we overlook experiencing what's happening NOW while getting lost in mental and emotional memories or hopes. There are times to say hello, and times to say goodbye. When the new has not yet arrived and we're still letting go of the past, we have a great opportunity to stay fully centered in being aware of our direct experience up to that point in our life, with all the feelings and ideas we've been opened to because of that experience.

When we're in "the in betweens," it can be very helpful to honor old friends, whether plants, animals, or other humans, by feeling the fullness of our experience over the days, months, or years we walked together here on Earth. It helps to see what life has taught us about compassion, opening our hearts and minds to a greater view of the movie of our life and how that which is leaving us impacted us. When it's time to say thanks, feeling gratitude and appreciation for the experience while knowing that phase of our lives is over forever, by doing so we claim the moment.

Please revisit the article, since it has a lot more. For your renewed consideration,

Navigating the In Betweens

This article puts these "waiting in the wings" moments in our lives in perspective. It is so, so right on in its intent and meaning - different for each one of us according to our circumstances - but which we can all understand. Thank you for your insights.
Peace, Sharon

The route is charted! That was the easy bit, now, comes the walking of the path following the direction set by our inner compas: "NOW" "One-ness". Not easy, but.... one step at a time.
Keep on trekking,
Nic

Appropriate article, considering the situation I am currently it positioned on the great stage of this reality, it is smack damned in the middle of the Go-Between Bridge that do straddles the gorge that divides the past from possible futures full of hope. Looking back only so now and again as I press ahead, it does assures me that my past life being just fading memory of it time past. Knowing truthfully that I've slain all my inner Demons..

And just in case if one do so happens to be still after me, know that it would be foolish indeed as I now possess the WORD and do not have need of my SWORD. Though it maybe fun poking fun @ Demons..

Dreams I not of what shall or may be futures as I walk towards it the Future? Living so the moment I am I in the moments of this time presents am I Blessed. Yes I am living the dream being Human..

Faith - Knowledge - Trust; nothing material, but worth more that all earthly treasures that 1 can behold. Be what allows me to Live Life in Hope..

Timely, as always...

As I catch up on my spiritual reading which I've avoided over the last several months not even knowing why...

As I accept an offer to be a "script finisher" with a new production company which simulanteously makes my heart sing and my nerves raw...

As the love of my life finally, for the first time quits nicotine completely - no gum and no patches which he's been indulging in since quitting smoking nearly 2 years ago and I want to throw a pack of smokes at him...

Timely, as always, my friend.

Aum and blessings.
