The Descent Is The Initiation

The Descent is the Initiation


I am going into the darkness—not to escape it, not to rush through it, not to wish it away. I am going in because it is time.


I will sit with what is here. I will breathe it in, let it speak, let it unravel what it must. There is no bypassing this. No shortcut. No illusion of “getting through” just to return to the same patterns in disguise.


No, this is deeper work.


To be present, truly present, with all that arises—the grief, the fury, the ache, the uncertainty—is to let the process do its work on me. It is to let the old skin shed, the illusions dissolve, the raw truth emerge.


To resist this is to prolong the suffering. To surrender is to move with the waves, to let them carry me where I need to go.


I am a shadow walker. I do not fear the descent. I know its rules. I know its terrain. I have walked these paths before—alone, and alongside many others.


The unseen is where I come alive.


Because what is unseen is not meant to be avoided. It is meant to be integrated. What waits for me in the dark is not my destruction, but my reclamation. My lost power, my forgotten wisdom, my hidden strength.


I do not hope for this to pass quickly. I hope for it to shape me fully.


Because I am not here to survive this.


I am here to become through it.
