3 Revelations about Control

The desire to control is a common unconscious phenomenon. Many people are unaware of their own driving force or what exists beneath it.  Consider three revelations about control:

1. The effort to control arises due to fear.

In other words, control is a defence mechanism.  As you identify the fear, question its validity. Ask yourself, Is it true? If you’re afraid the night will be ruined, question that assumption.

2. Control is a result of being attached to a specific outcome (as if we always know what is best).

As we trust that we’re okay no matter what circumstances unfold, no need arises to micromanage the universe. We let go, open ourselves to all sorts of unforeseen possibilities that are unseen when we’re attached to one “right” path. What can you directly influence? Is your focus here? Or are you in someone else’s business? When we’re trying to control things outside of our own sphere, things fall apart rather than together.

3. The energy of control is less powerful than surrender.

When our vision gets very narrow and focused, our breath goes shallow, adrenaline is pumping and the heart rate increases.  It almost always does. Let that feeling of freedom guide us toward loosening our grip.  The more we want something, the more we are conditioned to hold on. yet letting go results in something beautiful.

Take Path to Pure Freedom

Notice meditation is a path to freedom and reuniting with True Nature. As you learn how to listen to and reclaim your True Power, or Soul, you experience what awakened beings through the ages refer to as Nirvana: the ability to transcend suffering, embody unconditional love and peace and live authentically again. Our own process guides us to deepen conscious connection with Source, helps us polish the mirror of perception, appreciate the gifts to be found in illusions that run us. It's about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. To see through falsehoods within and around us is to open ourselves to unforeseen interdimensional doorways and adventures beyond words and known worlds. We are each in a league of our own. We bring grace to our lives and those of others as we love and accept ourselves fully and radiate that. (Cosmic conscious art- "Buddha's Birth" by Pumayana - Mandalas and Sacred Geometry)

Return to Love

Notice what it is to be truly good to yourself. This is about more than simply resting periodically, drinking before you get thirsty. Its about stopping to smell the flowers often, because you can, not because you have to. Its about not only dreaming of what is out of reach, but taking steps to taste the dream again, as if for the first time. Its about fearlessly taking risks to go that extra distance for good reason only to discover there was never any real risk involved. Afterall, Love is all we ever think we want, need and seek and its always here, nearby, ever-present, inviting us to see and embody it.

Face Fear in the Eye

Notice its common to resist change or what the mind thinks it represents. Feel the power that arises as you take the bull by its horns, embrace the uncertainty, take those unpredicable things head-on and look deeper into what bothers you without delay. Some people would suggest hanging in there and doing what you have always done is best. Yet, being true to the heart is about staring the source of fear in the eye. Reminding ourselves fear is a catalyst for greatness and growth guides us to master our Path. Feeling our way, heeding intuition, is key to a more fulfilling life.

Allow Soul Truth to reveal itself

Notice everything is always here yet everything is not always seen as it is in true colour. All secrets reveal themselves through the evolution of consciousness. Nothing is hidden that will not be made known. We gradually bring our own light to our shadows, to what we are willing to accept and integrate into our version of reality. As frequency shifts happen, the layers peel away to revel the core. When ready, we grow aware of what had been rejected, take steps to retrieve Soul fragments; Everything I have taken from others, I consciously return with Love. Everything that has been taken from me I now reclaim. Know the Soul is greater than anything that seems to be missing. This is the Path to recognizing our own wholeness.
