After a few weeks of honoring Sherryl Lin Taylor’s life and passage, I wanted to look again at the message she received from Spirit when she came to me for a session shortly after her diagnosis in February or March.
You might remember that I published that message here without her name, but with her full permission. Reading it again, I see that it carries a simple potency for helping us all design a new way of walking our path. I thought the message was worth repeating.
Beloved woman, as you have grown, you—like most others—have done so assuming that life should be largely knowable, sorting always for clarity, certainty, and prediction. The desire being that the future make sense in advance and that the ground be solid beneath the feet. Most of your life energy has gone to the endeavor of creating and maintaining the seeming safety and certainty of solid ground.
Yet in truth, its your experience that it rarely is. Most of what is called certain, in fact, is always and only a set of working assumptions. There is the assumption that tomorrow will resemble today, that the people who are loved will remain, that bodies will continue as they are, and plans will unfold more or less as intended.
In truth, however, it is ambiguity that has been your constant companion. You realize this, as all do, for it is widely known but rarely deeply acted within. And so—full of anxiety and questions about how things will turn out—there is always the turning to psychics, experts, authorities, healers—diviners of the unknown. And this is purposeful, well and good, and is a fun way for you to communicate with Spirit.
Yet there is also a place in you, in all, that is knowing itself. You are meant to guide yourself from there more often. This is called the Living Way.
What you face now is the invitation from the Fullness to set yourself primarily upon this Way—which means the putting aside of the illusion of certainty, doing this so that you may live ever more gracefully with not-knowing. This then becomes your superpower—artfully living with ambiguity. That is your Way Forward, and what is that Way? It is the discovery of the true power of The Unfolding Path.
For you see, ambiguity has always been woven into the deepest truth of all; it is the core of the Unknown. At the very heart of existence lies a vast and beautiful mystery—the creative force flowing through galaxies, forests, oceans, and through the unfolding of your own life.
Ambiguity is a spiritual orientation of high order. It is the willingness to participate in a universe far more creative, surprising, and alive than your certainties would ever allow.
And in learning to rest more comfortably in not knowing the outcomes and timelines, you will begin to discover something quietly reassuring:
That the ambiguity humanity has tried to avoid at all costs is actually the very space in which life is continuously creating itself.
Which means, beloved one, that when you feel lost in the wobble of ambiguity—wondering what comes next, urgently wanting to know—you are not lost at all.
You are simply standing where the life that you are is still writing your story—where the power of life resides.
And so we see you standing in just such a place at this time, waving your magic wand about like a child who knows the power of make-believe—but one who is also a Merlin, wise with the secrets of the gradually unfolding and ever-continuing Life. Walk this way from here, dear one, and all answers will unfold with certainty and beauty as you do.
This is exactly how she walked from that point: through the information-gathering about her diagnosis, through their decision not to have the aggressive treatment that would destroy her quality of life without good result, and through all the changes and diminished capacities that followed, as well as through her departure. She allowed it all to unfold with a calm certainty and trust that was both inspiring and a lesson to observe.
It’s a beautiful message, isn’t it? One so appropriate to each of us in our own lives. And it feels like the perfect way to end this month of sharing about her journey.
May we all walk the Living Way on our roads ahead and discover the true power of The Unfolding Path. This is my prayer. And many blessings to you, Sherryl Lin, as you continue your life in spirit.
Lovingly,
Mayet Leilani
