Embracing True Self

Embracing True Self - Freedom to Be You

The greatest work I have done to raise my consciousness was emotional recovery work. The consciousness work is easy. Travelling to other realms and tuning in to God/Source/Conscious space is easy. It is the emotional work that is hard to do. Until you do it. Then it too becomes easy, joyful, fulfilling, and free. And it is the missing piece, I am telling you, it is the missing piece in so many wise seeker's journeys.


I feel a ramble coming on today, but this is so important at this time and I see it again and again that those who are held back and stuck on their paths are simply withholding the need to do their emotional processing. If emotional processing is new to you, put out a call for the right teacher/guide to appear and get to work. It will change your life. It will free your mind.


You cannot, I will say it again, you cannot move forward on your consciousness space with emotional energy stagnant inside. Honoring how you feel is the Path. You must learn to honor, embrace and most importantly EXPRESS your emotionality. We are human and we have human feelings. Learning to identify, become intimate and accepting, and then embracing and loving of our emotionality will change your life! It will clean your conscious space. It will lead you to both clarity and self knowing. And when you know your self, your little self in addition to your big Self, when you have travelled through all those places that everyone, all of us, each one of us, will travel through at some point on their evolutionary path, each step and new awareness an initiation, you will come to see yourself in every other human being on the planet. Trust me! ... No, don't trust me, try it out and then trust yourself.


It is through the process of identifying, responding to and expressing our emotions that we come to be able to live fully, freely, authentically, deeply, compassionately, from a place of self knowing and self love, (this is the mastery of love, to know and embrace all of our selves). Then to be able to be and express ourselves, as ourselves, in the world. And this world needs YOU. It needs your unique constitution and gifts, and you cannot be you without coming to know and embrace your emotional self.


As you love and learn to know and respond to your feelings, your map in life evolution, you will come to know and love every other being on the planet, human or non-human animal. We are all thinking, feeling, spiritual, sentient beings. And through your emotional recovery process you will  ignite your Awareness and SEE yourself, as divine and human. In knowing yourself you will know all others. For we are ALL the same essentially. And you cannot know others or fully embrace yourself until you know your self through how you feel. How your inner child feels. It is our little selves, so to speak, our emotional human selves, the little boy or girl that still resides and lives inside of us, that so greatly need and deserve our attention and great love. We love our inner little selves by allowing them to be and express who they are. And we listen, and validate them, and respond. And the truth that I see is that we will each go through the same old, same old things, stories, feelings and initiations, that  humanity has been travelling through for so many centuries and all time.


The more we feel, the more we heal. And then, the feeling becomes easy, and momentary, and all things just pass through. Then we have the room, the space, to expand into wider and broader spaces of experiential awareness. And this too, the whole of the process, usually happens slowly, over time, because it is so very very... huge. The shift. That comes through healing.


But between us and full enlightenment lives emotional recovery. We must learn to recover ourselves. And learning to embrace and express what we feel, is the missing link that many try to by-pass, or stuff, or avoid, or fun from. And they will never get 'there' because they are not knowing that they need to feel it in order to be free of it. Off the fear of it. And re freeing the mind, we cannot free the mind either unless we clean out the emotions, which originate and relate to the mind as well. So. To heal the emotional brain, the emotional body needs our loving compassion and attention too.


Too many spiritual paths today confuse their fellow travellers. They mean well when they say, "just focus on the good, and your divinity, and you will be fine". But this is not true. You must also and first, foremost, always, embrace your human side as well. It is our humanity. It is through embracing our humanity that consciousness is truly built. Try it out for yourself. You will see. You will see! You will set your "self" free. And, yes, you will free your mind.

When we embrace our true human self, we meet and discover our true divine self. It's a paradox. Or maybe magic. It's certainly alchemal.

A reminder for some. I may be on a soap box but I feel this so passionately and had to ramble this out for some reason today.


so ... for those doing the work, big hugs and lots and lots of L O V E .

ps. we are both human and divine. the middle road is where we discover our truth and ultimately reach enlightenment. we must not only reach for the stars, we must also reach down into our soil. once you recover yourself, you will be free to travel unemcumberedly anywhere in the Universe you'd like to "Be."

Be you! be true to yourself. Be Free. ♥
