A Personal Journey Through Hurricane Milton

By Zoe Cifuentes

I have often questioned whether I am truly a Master or if I am just imagining it. Or maybe I am merely a zealot following certain teachings. Am I really allowing the energy to serve me or is it just mental? Am I really allowing and feeling this Master as definitely here and therefore the energy serves me as such? Or is the energy simply serving the human with all its limitations? What is the measure, if there is one, to determine that the Master is part of my life on this planet now and that the energy is responding to that?

These are the questions that I have been pondering the past few days. And to get to something concrete about it, I understood that I had to be consciously aware of everything that was happening around me.

It all started when the news reported that Hurricane Milton was heading towards Tampa and was expected to affect the entire state of Florida. The media started warning about the potential catastrophic consequences, including heavy rainfall leading to widespread flooding, high sea waves causing significant damage, and unprecedented wind speeds. In summary, the situation was expected to be absolutely disastrous.

They reported that it was something unusual, like nothing ever seen in history. Our families and friends who lived outside of the state (and the country) began to worry about my safety, to the point that they suggested I should evacuate (although there was no evacuation alert in my county except for mobile homes). Faced with such a display of solidarity from people concerned about this, in addition to everything that the media was reporting, I could not take things too lightly, so I decided to do what was necessary to be well, within the established parameters: collect water, flashlights and some food.

As I began to take these steps and answer all the messages from family and friends, I began to become aware of the energy of mass consciousness that was forming around the hurricane and that was somehow trapping me and affecting me. I felt my chest tighten, my breathing became short, my mind began to cloud over, and my body became more agitated than it already was. Stores like Walmart and Home Depot had run out of window coverings, fuel supplies at gas stations were empty, bottled water in supermarkets was out of stock, and all hotels were full.

So, being aware of what was happening around me, not only with the hurricane itself, but also with the disturbances arising within me, I took some deep breaths and asked myself:
Am I really a Master, and am I allowing the energy to serve me as such? Or were those just beautiful words that I repeated in my head? Was I really giving myself the opportunity to experience what was happening at that moment? Do I really know who I really am?

I continued breathing deeply, feeling the energy of the hurricane, feeling and allowing the fear, doubt, and anxiety that was inside me. As I took more time to do this, I became calmer and very soon that energy of mass consciousness – and the tightness in my chest and clouds in my mind – began to fade away.

I started to feel certain that even if the hurricane was being upgraded from category 3 to 4, and possibly even 5, I wouldn’t be affected. I would continue taking the necessary precautions, but I wouldn’t let mass consciousness affect me anymore.

On October 9, as the hurricane entered Tampa Bay in the evening hours, I sat on the porch to observe not only the howling winds and falling rain, but to feel the energy of the hurricane, which was my own energy. Every time I breathed it and allowed it, I also felt the expansion of my body at the same time. 

Finally, I felt that I had become one with the hurricane. Not rejecting it in any way, I breathed it in, allowing and open myself up. That was the hardest part, opening up, but I kept doing it until suddenly I felt like I was in two places at once: I was in the midst of strong winds and rains, and at the same time, I was in a calm, serene place, completely at peace, as if nothing was happening. 

I simply allowed both, rejected nothing, and had no expectations. Suddenly, my entire being found itself in a state of deep serenity. And just like that, after being in that state of expansion and tranquility for a few minutes, I decided to return indoors, settle into my favorite chair, watch my beloved movie, and drift off to sleep, just like any other ordinary day.

When I woke up the next morning after a peaceful sleep, I wondered, what happened? I went to the porch where I had been the night before. The hurricane had passed and nothing extraordinary had happened around me, except branches and leaves on the ground. It was a new day for my expansion, because I had answered my initial question: Yes, I am a Master, allowing the energy to serve me.

A hurricane, in simple terms, is the result of heat and moisture being released on the surface of tropical oceans. It was not only a consequence of Gaia’s departure; the energy brought something else, and that “something” was a new light.

What is this new light, and what did it represent in my life? Watching the first Shoud of the series “On the Wings of Hope,” I got my answer when Adamus said:

At that moment, I realized that no matter what challenges come my way, whether it’s a hurricane like the one I just experienced or any other situation, there are always multiple perspectives to consider. Which one do I want to focus on? Do I want to see only the surface probabilities, or do I want to see the potentials within myself?

I already had the answer, it was the hope that I was waiting for, that EVERYTHING is contained within me. It reminded me of those beautiful words of Tobias a few years ago, “The darkness is your divinity.” In other words, the hurricane that everyone saw as a great catastrophe also brought its own light and I had just experienced it. I had a strong feeling that nothing bad would happen to me during the event. I just needed to trust my own perception, have confidence in who I am, and recognize that even though the influence of mass consciousness is powerful and can sometimes affect me, I can also choose to step outside of it if I want to.
