I am a Crossroad...Yes you read it well.

Writer: Issrae Ouassima TouahriaIssrae Ouassima Touahria



Being at a crossroads feels like a state of openness—it's spiritual, encompassing both horizontal and vertical dimensions, much like the sun shining brightly in all directions.From a recent interview I had here

Past and future

Being at a crossroads means that you are positionned between the past and the future. You stand in the middle: able to see both the past and the options or paths before you. You have the power to decide whether to return to the past or to move forward into a different future.


Confronting yourself

When you find yourself at a crossroads, you are confronting your truth. You gain insight into who you are and may begin to understand yourself on a deeper level. This requires not only truth and clarity, but also the courage to face your fears and confront your illusions. It takes bravery not just to move forward, but to have the desire for something different and to seek hope for change.


Saying goodbye

When you find yourself at a crossroads, you realize that you have to say goodbye not only to certain parts of yourself but also to people you once knew. You may choose to stay with them, but both they and you will have changed.


A deep inner transformation

A transformation occurs when you reach a crossroads; even if you decide to revert to the past, you will never truly be the same. Something within you shifts during this decision-making process—a profound, difficult choice that arises from your core or from your fears. You become aware of your limitations and aspirations, all converging at one point that tests and challenges you. You start to question whether all your desires are achievable.


Are all my hopes possible? The physical and spiritual aspects of our being come together at a crossroads, where a discussion and negotiation begin. This negotiation is not only about you; it also involves everyone you will touch with your life and presence. It's a meeting that includes your allies, spiritual guides, and ancestors, all observing your next steps.


Hearts open

This is a very liminal space, even if it appears complicated and tangible, as it is filled with a wide range of emotions—death, mourning, deceit, hope, desires, faith, and loss.

At these crossroads, our hearts are open, allowing emotions that have been hidden within us to rise to the surface. We begin to acknowledge these feelings, understand them, and seek clarity about why we feel this way, where these emotions originate, and how we can heal this part of ourselves. We also wonder how we can confirm and anchor feelings of hope and faith within us.


Alone

Being at a crossroads means having to face decisions alone. No one can make the choice for you, nor can anyone fully guide you on which direction to take, as this is an initiation that comes from deep within your heart. However, we are not truly alone—our allies and all of creation have contributed to bringing us to this point.


Devotion...
Devotion...

Make space to Devotion

When standing at a crossroad, we reflect on our potential, to let go of what is not true, and to move past anything that has kept us anchored to the past and our lower selves. This is an opportunity for us to transcend, and we must do so by staying true to ourselves. We need to create space for what is emerging from our hearts and welcome it with faith, hope, and dedication. I was reading a few days ago about devotion. The author mentioned that devotion is a deep love—whether towards a person, a being, or a mission. This understanding can guide us at a crossroad, helping us recognize what we are devoted to and how to connect with that emotion and the flow of life. It's important to nurture deep love for ourselves and for all of creation while also being open to receiving love in this moment.


Accept to receive love 

Accept to see that all that happened and is happening is for you and not against you. I often remind myself that the universe is not necessarily an enemy. It's all in balance. There is a duality in our experiences, but love will mend it all. Love is what will help you gather yourself from the various paths you may be drawn toward. Remember that you are not weak; you have gained knowledge from the past and can draw insight from your future. In this moment, where all timelines converge, you stand at a crossroads, facing the truth of who you are with love and devotion to your essence and purpose.


The present moment

When you connect to this love, light emerges from your heart and being. It becomes clear that it doesn't matter which decision you make or which path you choose at this crossroads. What truly matters is this present moment. It is this light that shines when you connect with yourself through deep love and devotion, allowing it to form a circle—the nucleus, the true power of love.


And finally, you become the crossroad

As you engage in this process, instead of merely standing at a crossroad, you become the crossroad itself. You embody light, walking on Earth like the ancient goddesses, Brigid, Iria and Athena. Their radiance was celebrated during the dark nights, with candles were lit while reciting prayers and making wishes, people hoping their voices would be heard and transported to the other side.


By becoming a luminous crossroads, people, beings, and things will learn to transcend through you, moving towards deep love and illumination. You become the embodiment of change, the truth of transformation.


My dear,

When you find yourself at a crossroads and are unsure of which path to take, do not be afraid. This time, your decision should not be guided solely by your thoughts; rather, it should come from your vibration and your devotion to your true essence. The journey you need to embark on is not external but lies deep within yourself.



Accept to be a Luminous crossroads

We breathe and embrace our role as the Luminous crossroads, a light nucleus that facilitates change. We stand between all dimensions and connections, accepting our essence, even if we don’t fully understand who or what we are. In a way, we commit to being our true selves, filled with deep love and devotion.


In this present moment, we choose to embody hope, faith, joy, connection, truth, courage, and authenticity. To us, this defines spirituality—a harmonious duality of spirit and matter. We embody the spirit in our physical existence, recognizing it as a vital ally.


Being the crossroad means acting as a bridge between different dimensions and beings, connecting ancestors with the living, the past with the future, and the body with the disconnected soul. We also unite children with their parents and balance feminine and masculine energies. This role is profound because it transcends strict definitions; we focus on bringing people together and moving toward oneness. My beliefs center around this concept, which I discuss in my books as an atomic point where everything is united. I understand now that the cross of Brigid, a goddess revered across the different lands, is linked to crossroads. Brigid the bridge...

With this understanding, we take a deep breath and express gratitude for being who we are ...


Wishing you a beautiful connection, and blessings,


Issrae,
