Honour Yourself
Notice what it is to honour yourself. To honour oneself means that we care and show ourselves as much love and kindness as we might show others, even treat ourselves better than we imagine others would like to be treated. Does it ever feel like you are more present for others, that you are more connected and in tune with the needs of those around you or that you want to please everyone? We are all helping each other along a winding road. We are crossing the abyss that separates us from our true selves. Journeying to and through the heart space is perhaps the most transformative of all journeys. This is about growing aware of and letting go of all we are not. There is so much conditioinng that exists to separate us from ourselves and each other. When the challenging situations arise, our first response may be to ignore this, attempt to get rid of discomfort, judge ourselves for it, view ourselves as a failure. Recall the story of Buddha shooting 2 arrows. The first arrow represents the painful emotions we want to escape or send away. We shoot the second arrow because we dislike our insecure, anxious, failing self. In essence, the tendency is to blame ourselvs for the experience. When its a habit to shoot those second arrows, or in other words, revert to a habit of judging ourselves, we are creating an abyss that is locking us in our self-created suffering. It solidifies our identity as a bad self, creates that undercurrent that "there is something wrong with me." The reality is that any self-aversion creates an abyss that separates us from others, and obscures reality. The answer is always to love ourselves, to love and accept ourselves into the freedom we tell ourselves we long for. Depending on our outlook, the outcome changes. Everything comes back to love. Its who we are and everything guides us back to the truth we know and feel in the heart.
Retain deeper lessons and grow
Experience life in its best light
Notice life is inviting us to download the energy and vibrations of the entire cosmos unto our own self. In this, those who may be seen as guides, teachers, or mentors, can only plant a seed, guide us to the path of greater awareness. The rest is up to individual free will, dedication and devotion, and the will to turn inward. Else the world is free to either reject, or discard the seed, or to criticize/ reject one who offers the seed, as has been witnessed before. The enlightened or awakened One has nothing to lose, only the world does. Freud echoes the unconscious mind is the primary source of human behaviour. This overlooks the role of brainwashing, electromagnetic interference and distortions. In Truth, it is not the Earth that isn't at peace but a person may be energetically disconnected or unable to tune into or fears peace vibrations. One's core frequency or higher state of consciousness knows the real is peaceful and unreal is illusion. At a pivotal moment, it dawns peace has always existed on Earth, and goes unnoticed or hidden in thought or energetic interference. When the mind is chaotic, we project a chaotic world full of problems. Even when the external seems chaotic, events unfold in perfect order. True peace is felt as one moves through/ integrates negative or low vibrational thoughts. Meditation, spiritual practice and neural entrainment with key sounds, help one to stabilise extraordinary mind states linked to mystical experiences and perfect bliss (satchitananda). We are both a dream and God of the universe. Life is experienced in its best light Only when we are at peace with self, full of love and acceptance, not in serious mode.
5 Words to Clarify Purpose
You may find yourself asking, “What do I want in life right now?” So, revisit purpose.
At different life stages, you may define success, fame, money, wisdom, fulfillment and words like “happiness”. Generally though, when asked, people reply with a combination of these things and what they cannot describe. You may not reflect too much until at some point, the issue of deeper purpose arises in mind and you cannot shake it. Whether or not you realize it, you unconsciously chase the answer during much of your life, creating experiences, for the pursuit of something you may not put your finger on. Soul purpose may then take shape in surprising ways.
