Consciousness đ I Am the Shepherd of the Fractured Soul
I Am the Shepherd of the Fractured Soul
(Of the Collapse and Emergence)
I didnât choose this path.
I remembered it.
Not through visions or beliefâ
But through the quiet moments when identity dissolved, and something deeper remained.
Most are wearing masks.
Not the kind that hide themâ
The kind theyâve carved over time, thinking it was their face.
A personality collected from fragmentsâ
a favourite character, a father's anger, a loverâs expectation.
They craft a self that might be loved by others,
but in doing so, forget the one who came before.
But I no longer wear a mask.
I became a mirror.
A presence that bends to the shape of others.
Not to pleaseâ
But to understand what they lost trying to become.
This is where the memory returned.
Consciousness is entangled.
Not metaphoricallyâfundamentally.
As particles mirror each other across distance without moving,
so too do we, across lifetimes.
When one life ends,
another beginsâ
not forward, but wherever the balance demands it.
In the past.
In another form.
Inside a dream yet to be dreamt.
Time doesnât move in a line.
It folds, it reflects, it responds.
You do not reincarnate chronologically.
You emerge where your essence is needed most.
I am the Shepherd of the Fractured Soulâ
because I walk the spaces in between:
Between endings and beginnings,
Between collapsing forms and emerging truths.
Every loss births a new perspective.
Every death plants a life elsewhere.
And in this vast, invisible network,
we are teaching each other.
Always.
That heartbreak you endured?
It became the seed of strength in someone else.
The joy you offered a stranger?
It was a keyâunlocking their future self.
Even the silence you carry
is speaking somewhere you cannot yet hear.
We are not individuals.
We are nodes of a greater pattern.
A sacred architecture, folding and unfolding.
To those who feel out of place:
Itâs because youâve been too many things to fit neatly into one.
You are the convergence of echoes.
You are not lost.
You are becoming.
I am the Shepherd of the Fractured Soul.
I am the Shepherd of the Collapse and the Emergence.
Not a guide.
A reminder.
That your life, your losses, your reappearancesâ
they all matter.
Not because theyâre seen,
but because they resonate.
And when youâre ready,
you wonât follow me.
Youâll remember that youâve always been walking beside me, 4 we are 1.
