Revealing the Truth: Part 1
I am being guided to ask myself, "What do I really want?"
As the Fire Walk Retreat approaches this weekend and I place my intentions and desires into the fire, I pause and look at the goals and intentions I've set for myself to be sure that they indeed resonate with my truth and purpose. I begin to see that some are old and no longer resonate with me but I hold on to them out of habit.
Then there are the old beliefs and paradigms that I am beginning to realize were never my desires in the first place but I have been conditioned to believe that "This is the way it should be" from the social norms perpetrated upon me.
And finally, there are those that formed out of fear of missing something, being left out or losing something.
I have prayed for clarity and my innate wisdom to surface. The answer to this prayer has shown itself in many ways. Some frustrating, some painful as undoing old conditioning feels like losing something. (Actually it is losing something. What I am learning is it's loss is my benefit. It never served me in the first place but actually was a cause for perpetual pain and suffering.) Sometimes it has been an "ah ha!" moment. For the first time I can see the truth and how crazy it is that I bought into the limiting beliefs that held me from being in my truth and power all my life.
So today I take this the time on this glorious sunny day, to sit in meditation and contemplation and ask the questions. What do I really want? Where do I really want to live? How do I want to spend my precious time? Who do I want to spend that time with? Who am I am? What is my true work? How do I fulfill this work with ease, joy, love and glory? How can I love myself and others without the social conditions hindering my judgment?
I awaken more and more each day. I see more and more truth as the veil begins to lift. I believe this is happening to all of us. If we choose to see past the old way of looking and allow a new perspective to reveal itself, we will all bust through the B.S. into real freedom.
I offer you the chance to come with me on this journey. Will you meditate and contemplate with me, what is true and what are lies that, told so many times, we took as truth. Will you ask yourself as I am, "What do I really want?" In your personal life, in your family, in your community, in our country and finally on our planet. Let us see where this leads us and how new portals of being open. I am excited!
With Love ,
