I should probably clarify what I mean when I keep bringing up the expansion/integration thing, though I think you already understand me. Expansion almost always means dealing with fear...especially if it's profound. All the castles we build around our paradigms are made of sand, and at the least it's disturbing to have new realizations wash them away leaving us vulnerable to unpredictable cosmic weather. Sometimes expanding can be ecstatic...and I've experienced that, but often information comes in that's more on the order of shocking and disorienting.
The biggest part of integrating is building a new castle with the best protections we can innovate for whatever new level of knowledge we've absorbed. In other words, finding ways to be less afraid of the agoraphobia that comes with a greater vision of the vastness of reality.

But I would interject that even in this new Earth time, there are still some mystics here, who have not particularly elected to 'sit in caves or monasteries and contemplate the nature of Being,' but have found themselves instead chosen by something Bigger, and have in fact been taken out of their ordinary lives by its power, have spent much time in an alternative, non-mainstream spiritual way of life that they would otherwise not have chosen because of its sacrifices.

Everyone on the mystic path can only do their best, and we're all building on the foundations that have been laid before us. I do however think that much of what was learned and discovered has been buried, misdirected and subverted by the PTB throughout time, so that it's hard to see many of the mystic visions clearly...as they've been so woven into pre-existing archetypes. We only have to look as far as Jesus to see the extremes of a hijacked vision. It's the results of mysticism having been amalgamated into this pre-matrix program that I'm minimizing.
I agree that we're now swimming in mystics, with a 100x more of them than have ever inhabited earth at the same time before, plus we have the new analog to telepathy...the internet, in play, so it's easy for them/us to connect. IMO, anyone who's now sitting in a cave, thinking the whole deal is about their personal evolution, is not cutting the mustard of the title of "mystic"...they're just dreaming. This is a global manifestation, and a global awakening is necessary to sort it out...though of course it's centered around an awakening of
individuals.

I've noticed from others also... this sovereign idea often written together w/the word co-creator.
Hmmm... it's a bit of a hurdle for me not really know a writer's definition of certain terms that are loosely spoken by many of us, though usually it's not such a problem... this thread it is.
As in spirit & soul... to me, Spirit is That Which Animates. Soul is that which embodies .
Co-Creator implies creating w/another (the source?).

Well, here's what
I mean when I'm using those terms:
Sovereign- that as entities, we're fragments of the prime creator, iterations of the One Mind that constitutes the fabric of reality. There are many different types of entity, some ancient and closer to the creation process...the "progenitors" for example, being the universal "design team" who have then fragmented further into other iterations of sovereign entities. Now I'm seeing that the demons and deities are nothing more than large entities, ones who are composed of many smaller sparks which they have absorbed along the way. The may be massive and powerful, but they're no more sovereign that the rest of us, and in no way deserving of worship.
If we're truly sovereign then we
are "independent and not under the authority of any..." body. We have unlimited free will, but also the responsibility that comes with it.
Co-creator- I can't wrap my mind around all the law of attraction theories which insist we're each the sole creators of our realities. I think everything is a push and pull of power, and that this occurs among all creatures...especially if we're all made of the same primordial energetic "substance". I can create what I want, but it will not manifest unless I can fit it into a space in the fabric of reality, or unless I can overwrite a reality that already exists. If I want to replace a reality that exists in a space I inhabit, I have to have enough power to insert it, or find a way to reshape the fabric so mine will find the means to manifest.
It's 6 billion humans who are co-creating the human morphogenic field, and while some have more power to mold that field, all participate. Even at that, humans aren't the sole creators here...Gaia, the elementals and devas, other awakening sentient beings, formbuilders, and every other spark of life energy in the vicinity plays a part. And Gaia isn't the sole creator of Earth, the sun has a part...and so on, layer upon layer.
