Turning Point

[qos]

Me: I have become a vortex. All of my energy has been going in and down. I need to change that. It's not healthy. I need balance. I'm thinking about Inanna and her ascent. I need to work with those energies again. Can I work with her again now?

Ereshkgial: Yes, you can work with her again now. You could not do so before because you would simply have done so as "part of the story" and part of your old habits. You needed to get to the place where you claimed the upward journey as part of this life, this cycle.

And a little later. . . .

LM: Losing you made me bitter and hard. I rejected life. I don't want to see you make the same mistake. You're on the upward journey. Embrace all of it.

Good.

I considered suggesting you reconnect with Inanna or with Isis, but it felt as though that needed to come from you, not me. Glad that's happened. I know that it saved me from being too much in the underworld; I hope it gives you the help you need. *hug*

I'd tried to connect with Isis before, as you had suggested many months ago, but I don't know her well enough for her energy to be a strong enough counterbalance to where I have been. And I kept focusing on her as the wife to an underworld god, not her upperworld or stellar aspects. And Ereshkigal had explicitly -- and strongly -- forbidden me to work with Inanna until this morning.

Like so many other things, this seems to have been a matter of me needing to get to the right place myself before things opened up.

That's crucial, of course; timing can be everything.

Understand about Isis.
