Simple Truths #70 ©
The only thing for certain is that things will change, how we handle that change is as always our choice. Obviously, by now one would hope that you have learned to go with the natural flow of positive energy. If you always look for the Positive in all things and all people you will find it, and it will make your life and others more positive – even joyful. Of course, if you look for the Negative, you will find that also. Is that what you want to choose – to have negativity in your life for depression and sadness? Do you have a need to be dissatisfied with something, so you suffer? Do you need to take on the affects of things that are non-consequential to your life, just because they have negative energy? I am not saying that one should not be empathic to the problems of others, but taking on those problems as your own is neither healthy for you or helpful to those others. Think about it – being Positive is a choice, granted one you may need to practice, or even “fake it, till you make it,” but still a personal choice. You can learn to cultivate joy in the midst of challenges. Simple joy can fill your heart, your entire being, as in Joy there is Grace. And, through Grace there is the realization of Oneness, of wanting to help another because you can – yet remember to do so without attachment to them or their situations. We are All One, as we All come from the same Source.
Return to basics! You can take loving care of yourself by staying calm and not allowing anxiety into your life. Know that you are never alone, and nothing is ever as bad as fearful thinking makes it seem. Remember to ask for help from your Higher Self or Source, that is there for you always. By thinking loving, positive thoughts and feeding your body loving nourishment, you become positive energy. You, and only you, choose what you allow to influence you from any of your senses. If it is disharmonious, stop and immediately do your deep breathing with your positive key words in and releasing words out. Walk to keep your physical body moving, so that your energy stays positive as your awareness of nature surrounds you with feelings that all things are effortless and easy. Call on the Golden Light to encircle you, as you allow it to flow naturally through you – as you receive its protection, giving and sharing with others. You can trust that all is well, as all is always well, as you are blessed and full of Grace. This positiveness is more than magic, it is knowing that it simply is your birthright as a child of Source.
This return to basics is important to your commitment and focus of your journey on the path. There is no time now for getting far off track, as you will be called upon to assist novices in how they need to stay positive in the coming times. To be a good leader, you must have achieved the basics with a confidence that is without question. Your own missteps are accomplishments in that you mastered them, no matter how long it took, or how many detours were involved. This is not a fastest time marathon, this is your life. However long it takes to learn what works and what doesn’t, is what’s most important. If your experiences of growth were half-assed or half-baked or even faked, what kind of a leader would you be for those novices? No, this is not about perfection, it is about knowing at your core, what flows well and is harmonious to your being, and what does not. This is not glitz, glamor or success acknowledged from those outside of you, it comes from within you first. So, if there is still any disharmony coming from any residue or sludge from entrenched old beliefs fueled by fear, they obviously need to go.
Objectively you need to regularly observe-visualize inside your heart/soul to see if there is anything at all that is not working, or causing any unrest. You know from your positive vibrational energy if there is peace within. Set your intention to become more truthful about topics you thought you had mastered. The ego can play tricks on you at any stage of awakening, putting you into illusion. Be willing to cover what seems like “old ground,” learning on a deeper level than before. There is no sense letting even the smallest tangles from any of the old ways that no longer serve you back into your realm. The secret here is that only you can change you, so focus on yourself. Once you have your own self back in order, then you can be that leader/guide to others, with love and care through true authenticity from knowing yourself so well. It all starts by your Being your own Truth, and then radiates out from there to whomever is ready to listen, accept and grow. Then they will know that their journey will be as long as it has to be, from their choices for the lessons to be learned – painful or arduous or whatever. The greatest lesson you may tell them about, is what is meant by listening to the still, small voice within. How much they choose to believe you will be part of their path. It usually does take time to learn to focus on the truth that is found in one’s own heart. You are your own torch-bearer, holding the light to discover your own truth.
It is understood in the depths of your heart that the truth of your journey is the very simple knowing that you have achieved enough compassion to allow another to just BE Who They Are! A compassionate heart allows the complete understanding in the truth of there never being a judgment of ourselves either. When you flow effortlessly from one right action to the next, you are establishing a new level of Spiritual morality, a code of ethics for all of humanity to live by. There is something about you finding your own truth, that puts you in deep communion with yourself. These realizations help you to release the Past and to experience love in its truth, because love is full of truth. In that way you know that anyone who places a condition on love is not expressing true love. Anybody who judges or criticizes anyone – including themselves – is not expressing true love. No one needs to be this kind of a victim, as it usually comes from the fears of others in an ignorant state of consciousness. You have the power to eliminate the fear permanently, and set in place the foundation for truth and love to exist. The more empowered and self-aware you are, the less you have to fear. A basic truth is that Fear is the number one paralyzing and self-sabotaging force. It causes you to feel negative, burdened, inadequate, useless, and worthless. Unlike natural fear in the form of survival or being alert to something dangerous, this fear is usually created by the ignorance and greed of humanity – one person trying to control another by putting them down.
Exercise: To determine for yourself what true love means to you, write down all of your belief systems regarding love. How have they changed since your journey began? Are there any of them that still comes from Past programming of your parents, friends, teachers, society in general? Study each one in detail, and delete any that truthfully no longer comes from the very core of your being. This can be a very powerful releasing, as what is left is therefore your truth about love. It can never be explained simply or even permanently – it is too vast and too intertwined with most everything in your life. Revisit the topic on a regular basis, especially after you have had some sort of related experience where you may question the presence, or truth of love.
