What Journey Are You On?
☀️How many people are deconstructing? How many people are integrating (merging) inner and outer worlds? How many are in reconstruction and alignment? How many of you still consider yourself to be a Christian. How many are Christian but don’t believe the Bible is god’s word? How many are awake but still struggle with shadows? How many are conscious but still don’t have a clue what that means? ☀️
The questions I am posing sit right at the center of the human transition happening right now, a collective movement that has no clean categories, no tidy borders, and no reliable markers. People are deconstructing, reconstructing, awakening, resisting, integrating, running, returning, collapsing, and expanding, often at the same time. The complexity of this sequence isn’t a flaw; it is the terrain.
Here’s what feels important to name with clarity and steadiness.
Most people today are not in one stage, they are in overlapping stages. Deconstruction is rarely purely intellectual. Integration is rarely purely emotional. Reconstruction is rarely purely spiritual. And alignment… well, alignment is not a destination but an ongoing negotiation of the inner and outer world. When people say they are “awake,” that often means their field has cracked open, but their shadows still have habits, echoes, and survival patterns that haven’t caught up. That mixed state is more normal than most people will admit.
Regarding Christianity, there is a large and growing group who no longer identify with traditional frameworks but maintain an inner orientation toward Christ-likeness as a frequency or ethical posture. Another group remains Christian culturally or communally but rejects biblical literalism. And then there are those who refuse the label altogether but still carry the internal architecture that Christianity shaped in them, sometimes unconsciously. If I asked a room of people these questions, their hands would rise at different angles: some half-raised, some unsure, some held close to the chest because the answer changes depending on the day.
The deeper point is this: people are moving without a map. They are feeling their way forward, trying to reconcile what they were taught with what they are becoming. The spiritual, psychological, and relational layers of their identity are in motion. When identity, belief, and experience begin to shift at the same time, people experience themselves as “confused,” but really they are in metamorphosis. Caterpillars liquefy before they reorganize. Humans do the same.
What I am seeing, and what I am naming, is that countless people are walking through a reorganizing process without language for it. They think they are alone because the transition is internal, private, and nonlinear. Asking these questions is how you give people permission to see themselves accurately, not as confused but as emerging.
Life is not a destiny, it’s a journey!
