A time comes in everyone’s evolutionary journey, where they must begin to acknowledge and reclaim the innate spiritual power that they have ignorantly relinquished , power that lies dormant in most people until at a certain point they are ready to once again embrace it.
Human beings have become programmed to simply accept without question what those with money, social status, power, or expertise tell them is true, going from lifetime to lifetime unaware that they already hold within themselves the innate power of the Divine.
The hypnotism of the third dimensional belief system has created a world in which a privileged few have been allowed to dictate the rules for everyone else. Man, in ignorance of his true identity as an empowered spiritual being, has surrendered to the demands of the ruling elite because to do otherwise often meant severe punishment or even death for anyone daring to question this arrangement.
Because most humans have lived hundreds of lifetimes ignorant of their true identity, they believe that everything they want or need is outside of themselves. As a result most continue looking to government, religion, gurus, “experts”, the rich and famous, and anyone or anything claiming to have what they need.
False concepts about personal power have always been and remain tools for control over others. Keeping the masses in doubt about themselves and their ability to make good choices is how power and greed continue to function in the three dimensional world.
Over time mankind has fallen deeply into the dense energies of duality, separation, and many powers causing him to become increasingly receptive to those in positions of authority telling him that he is a worm in the dust, basically stupid, unable to make wise decisions for himself, and a sinner in need of someone “holy” to “save” him and tell him what to do. To this day, many still hold to the belief that only saints, gurus, shamans, and self proclaimed “holy” individuals are truly spiritual and others must access God through them. (Of course who is “holy” and who is not, is determined by the particular church or persons involved.)
Falsehoods were taught and beaten into the masses by those holding power over others. In the middle ages severe punishments were carried out with full approval of a ruling church that maintained power and riches without question. A life lived as a slave often causes dis-empowerment in all the lives that follow until somehow cleared.
Some countries and individuals still blindly believe that only males are capable of making important decisions, and that women must be subservient to them and obey without question or suffer the consequences of disobedience. Even in some so called civilized societies, females are considered to be less capable or intelligent than males and anyone with the courage to refute or question this are usually ignored or in some countries may even suffer severe punishment or death.
Media continues to spew articles, films, videos, etc. that tell both men and women how to act, dress, say, or look in order to be lovable and attract a partner which is beginning to cause rebellion in an awakening majority. Is sexy the same as lovable?? Should I allow myself to be used by someone in order to accepted or considered desirable (worthy)? Do I want or even need to be considered desirable?
At a certain point and often seemingly out of nowhere these dis-empowering three dimensional concepts stop resonating and the evolving person begins to question and experience a sense of dissatisfaction with commonly accepted ideas about worthiness and love. Beliefs that were once fully embraced begin to feel unimportant and even ridiculous and the person begins to wonder why on earth he or she ever believed that they needed someone else to tell him/her what to do or say, how to dress, how to socialize, or what to believe. The person begins to examine and rethink his belief system, reclaim himself and his God endowed dominion. He begins to spiritually evolve.
If he is already a spiritual seeker, he awakens to a deeper sense of his true identity where it gradually becomes his state of consciousness and what he needs–answers, ideas, things, people, situations etc. begin to manifest without struggle and search. He starts to lose his fear of being wrong or not good enough. He begins to release the need for the approval from others. He becomes comfortable making his own choices which does not mean never seeking the advice of those who are more informed, but rather means that choices and decisions are now guided by intuition and a trust in the innate power within.
Occasionally the awakening of personal power will cause a person to act belligerently and adamantly refuse to accept any outside advice. This is simply the expression of and subsequent release of anger for having willingly accepted the false teachings of those in positions of trust. These negative emotions quickly clear as the person realizes that every experience is a part of their learning process–their evolutionary journey.
Once an individual acknowledges his true Divine nature, he discovers that he is able to speak his truth and say what needs to be said without fear. Because he realizes that he and every individual is a Divine Being and this realization is allowing his spoken words, (even stern ones that may need to be spoken to an unenlightened person, to flow on streams of energy that are higher than words that flow on energy streams of separation and anger.
Many live structured and comfortable lives secure in the belief that the third dimensional is the only reality and that there is an intellectual 3D solution to everything. Mind is their master in the belief that the human mind is the end all and can formulate a solution to everything. Divine Mind can, yes, but not human minds conditioned by concepts of duality and separation. The human mind can only access what is already present in collective consciousness. Anything new and as of yet unknown must flow into mind from the deeper creative resources of Divine Consciousness within.
Because everyone is an individualization of Source/God, ideas,solutions, and new creations that flow from within rather than from ideas that are already present in the collective, will reflect unique ideas never before seen. Divine Consciousness is the essence of true creativity in all its forms. Individuals who are governed by mind often experience utter chaos when their soul is ready to evolve because their higher Self has determined that they are ready to let go of mind control and its structured comfort.
Every person has chosen to be on earth at this powerful time. Each lifetime is a step toward enlightenment and provides the experiences that a person has willingly chosen pre-birth as being what is necessary for deeper spiritual awareness. Three dimensional life is not and never has been for the purpose of having good sex, becoming rich or famous, or being happy all the time. These things can be an enjoyable part of one’s time on earth but every incarnation includes a carefully created plan for spiritual learning.
Every human’s story is; “Lifetime after lifetime after lifetime I have looked outside of myself for a sense of completeness. I sought it from money, sex, power, beauty, religion, government, experts, partners, children, friends, career, etc. etc. often finding it but still feeling empty. It is as if for eons I have believed that 4 plus 4 equals seven, and I finally realize that it is 8, my checkbook finally balances, and everything is beginning to look and feel different because I am seeing the world with new eyes.” The prodigal has come home.
That which I have been seeking, I AM . (Joel S. Goldsmith)
