EMPOWERMENT

 

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 to others simply because they didn’t realize they had it. Dominion lies dormant in most people until  at a certain point in their evolutionary journey they are prepared to recognize and claim it.

Human beings have become programmed to simply believe and accept without question whatever those with  money, social status, power, or so called expertise tell  them. Humans have been living lifetime after lifetime for eons unaware that they  hold within themselves all that constitutes the 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 those daring to question this arrangement.  

Because most humans have lived hundreds of lifetimes in  ignorance of their true identity, they believe that everything they want or need is  outside of themselves.  As a result most even today continue looking to government, religion, gurus, “experts”, the rich and famous, and anyone or anything claiming  to have what they need or show them how to get it.   

False concepts about personal power have always been and continue to be major tools of control.  Keeping the masses in doubt about themselves and their ability to make intelligent choices is how power and greed continue to function as a dominating energy  in the three dimensional world.

Over time mankind has fallen deeply into and is living from a collective consciousness consisting of  duality, separation, and many powers. The false beliefs embodied in this three dimensional collective have resulted in a world where most humans are receptive to what anyone in a position of authority tells them even when the message  is  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 that 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.  In the middle ages severe punishments were carried out with full approval of  rulers who themselves were ruled by the churches of Rome and England and who  maintained power and attained riches without question. A life lived as a slave will often cause a sense of dis-empowerment in every life that follows. 

Some countries and individuals world wide continue to  blindly believe that only males are capable of  making important decisions, and that women must be subservient to them obeying 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 glorify  generalized concepts of masculinity and femininity while telling  both men and women how to act,  dress,  say, or look  in order to be lovable and attract a  partner.  These concepts are rapidly becoming obsolete as increasingly more awake to their true identity which is both masculine and feminine energy in perfect balance. 

At a certain point of evolution long held dis-empowering  three dimensional concepts  stop resonating and a person begins to question and experience a sense of dissatisfaction with commonly accepted ideas about personal worthiness and love. . 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?

Beliefs of self worth that were once fully embraced begin to feel wrong and even ridiculous when a person begins to question why 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.  As the person begins to examine and rethink his whole belief system, he begins to recognize and reclaim his God endowed dominion. 

At this point most serious spiritual seekers awaken to  a deeper sense of their true identity and begin to shift into a state of consciousness where answers, ideas, things, people, situations etc. can  begin to manifest outwardly without struggle, seeking, and searching. He/she starts to lose the fear of being wrong or not  good enough, begins to release the need for approval from others, and becomes comfortable and confident when making choices. He/she discovers that they are able to speak their truth and  say what needs to be said without fear.  This does not mean one must never seek the advice of those who may be better informed on some topic, but rather means that intuition and trust in one’s innate power have made the  final choice or decision. 

Occasionally  the awakening of personal power will cause a person  to act belligerently and adamantly refuse to accept any outside advice.  This often happens when personal power awakens in a someone still deeply connected to the third dimensional belief system.  It also happens as an expression of the anger a person feels at having willingly accepted the teachings and promotion of dis-empowerment by those in positions of  trust.  These negative emotions quickly clear as the person realizes that every experience has bee a part of their learning process–their evolutionary journey. 

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. The human mind is  their master in the belief  that the mind is the end all and can  formulate a solution to everything.  Divine Mind can, yes, but not  human minds conditioned with 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 to 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 higher Self  determines that they are ready to let go of mind control and its structured contents.

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 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 which often consists of  difficult experiences. 

Every three dimensional human’s story is; “Lifetime after lifetime after lifetime I have looked outside of myself  for a sense of completeness.  I have sought it from money,  sex, power, beauty, religion, government, experts,  partners, children, friends, career, etc. etc. sometimes often attaining these things 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.”
