You are a luminous
powerful soul in a beautifully unique human form.
You knew this when
you were very young. Through your fresh eyes, the world was an
enchanted place full of miraculous things to explore.
Unfortunately, you
were born into a world where the unconscious ego still controlled its
hosts and because of this, you were systematically taught to forget
that which you knew. Slowly you were herded into a sleepy existence.
Your alive and
curious nature was curbed by the new knowledge of your flaws (those
parts which were deemed undesirable/unattractive) by a superficial
society obsessed with the illusions of the ego. The radiant being
full of love and life was replaced with self-doubt and social masks.
Once your inner
peace was sabotaged, you graduated to the position of judge, where
you could find fault and point out the many flaws of others. This
happened naturally as the voices that trained you in your
“imperfection”, were already internalised and you only had to
mindlessly repeat what they said in order for it to have the same
sabotaging effect on others, especially the children, who are the
most susceptible to negative judgement.
Somewhere in this
cycle of the gradual removal of the true self, you do have
opportunities to break free. These opportunities come in the form of
experiences of the heart; those times when you connect on a deeply
emotional level with someone else, when you are present for the
beauty that surrounds you, when a stillness arises. These moments act
as reminders of who you are, what life could be. They whisper to you
amidst a bombardment of negativity and mindlessness: Reclaim your
consciousness. Remember that you are made to love, to reach out and
stretch up, to express yourself with joy.
Remember what if feels like to be Awake and Alive!
If we notice the insanity of living a life controlled by fear,
judgement and feelings of unworthiness and if we can see how much
damage we inflict on ourselves and others with the constant barrage
of actions born from anxiety and anger, we can mindfully decide to
start a new way of Life.
Earth would be a
vastly different place than we know today; a place where we have
learned to acknowledge and even celebrate differences, not judge it.
We would recognise and revere Life in all its facets and forms. Even
if there were pockets of people still ruled by their unconscious ego
and therefore act out with violence and destruction, we would look at
them with conscious compassion knowing, that they know not what they
do. Our lives would be a celebration. We would live our potential to
the full and in harmony with others who are doing the same. Wars
would end.
Can this happen?
Yes, when you accept
yourself right now, exactly as you are. Completely. Accept others
right now, exactly as they are. Completely.
And there you have
it. You have remembered what you knew as a child.
Acceptance
Complete acceptance brings about complete inner peace and with it,
the clarity to accept the responsibility of changing the things you
can.
Simple, not easy.
