EMPOWERMENT

 

A time comes in everyone’s evolutionary journey, when they must acknowledge and begin to reclaim their innate spiritual power, a power  that lies dormant in most people until  at a certain point of evolution they awaken to its presence.

Human beings generally live lifetimes simply accepting without question whatever those with  money, social status, power, or expertise tell  them.  Most go from lifetime to lifetime  unaware that they hold within themselves the innate  power of the Divine.   Mankind in general has come to believe themselves to be  powerless.  The density and ignorance  of third dimensional energy manifests as situations in which a privileged few are allowed  to dictate the rules to everyone else which often meant and still does mean severe punishment or even death to anyone daring to question.  Man, in ignorance of his true identity as an empowered spiritual being either gives way to what is being demanded or desperately seeks for help from outside of himself. 

Because man has lived hundreds of lifetimes  in ignorance of his true identity, most have learned to only seek outside of self for his needs–from  governments, religions, gurus, experts, and  anyone claiming to have the answers.  The myths and false concepts  regarding power have always been and still are tools for hypnotizing others for those seeking personal power.  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 man descended more deeply into the dense energies of duality and separation causing him to become  increasingly receptive to teachings telling him that he was a  worm in the dust, basically stupid, 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 the saints, gurus, shamans, and self proclaimed “holy” individuals are spiritual, and that everyone else can only 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 at any particular time.  In the middle ages  false teachings and severe punishments were done with full approval and in conjunction with the church in order that power and riches could be maintained without question.   To this day the concept is still blindly accepted in  some countries that only males are capable of  making important decisions, and that women must blindly obey them no matter how cruel, or else suffer the consequences of their disobedience.  In  some called civilized societies,  women are still considered less capable, intelligent, or privileged,  than males.  Those with the courage to refute or question through words or actions  are usually ignored but many suffer severe punishments or death.

Even in modern societies, magazines  continue spewing articles that inform both men and women how they must act,  dress,  or look  in order to be loveable, or successful.  As a result, many confuse looking sexy with being loveable, and allow themselves to be used by others in a feeble attempt to be desirable (worthy) –a perfect example of giving away one’s power.  Even  after these types of things no longer resonate, he or she may still occasionally accept old outgrown concepts because of old programming–false beliefs  that still resonate in a person’s energy field.  A person who believes that they are incapable of making intelligent decisions will continue to ignore the prompting of their intuition.  Most do not even realize that by doing this they have shut the door to their innate power.

Then seemingly at a certain point and seemingly out of nowhere there comes great dissatisfaction with those things that previously seemed very important. Many things begin to feel less important, even silly causing the person to question why he ever believed that he needed others to tell him what to do or say, how to dress, where to socialize, what to believe.    He begins to examine , rethink, and reclaim himself.  

If he is a spiritual seeker, he begins to awaken to  a deeper sense of  his true identity.  As this becomes his state of consciousness,  he finds that what he needs–(be it answers, ideas, or things),  manifest in his life without struggle and search. He begins to lose the fear of being wrong about something or of not  being good enough.  He begins to release his need for others  to make  his choices. 
This does not mean that one never seeks the advice of those more informed,  it simply means that the bottom line decisions is guided by intuition and the realization of one’s innate power as one with Source.

At first,  the realization of one’s personal power may cause them to act belligerently or with adamant refusals to accept any outside advice.  This is simply the expression and subsequent release of anger at self for having willingly accepting all the false teachings  given by those in positions of  trust.  These negative emotions are easily released  when the person realizes that every earthly 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 now recognizes that every individual is a Divine Being  his spoken words, (even stern ones that may need to be spoken to an unenlightened mind), flow on higher energies than if the same words were carried  an energy stream of separation and anger.

Accepting the truth about oneself can be difficult.  Many  live structured and comfortable lives  secure in the belief that the third dimensional is all there is and that there is an intellectual  3D solution to everything.  Human mind becomes their master as the result of believing that mind can  formulate the answer to everything.  Divine Mind yes, but not Mind when it has become conditioned with concepts of duality and separation.
It must be understood that the  human mind  only has access  to the knowledge  already present in universal consciousness.  Anything new and as of yet unknown,  does not come from mind but flows into mind from  the deeper creative resources of Divine Consciousness or from Beings of Light assisting the person. 
Because everyone  is an individual manifestation of Source,  ideas and new creations are unique to each individual.  Creations that flow from within rather than from ideas already present in the collective, will reflect new ideas never before seen.  This is the essence of true creativity in all its forms.  Individuals who live mind governed,  planned, and secure lives often experience utter chaos when their soul is ready to evolve, for it is at this point that the “rug gets pulled out” from their structured comfort.

Every person has chosen to be on earth at this powerful time.  Each lifetime  is a step toward  enlightenment,  steps willing chosen in order to experience what is needed  in order to progress into deeper spiritual awareness.  Life on earth 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 a part of it but incarnation is a carefully chosen free will choice.  Through the  struggles and eventual overcoming of them while living on earth,  mankind learns and evolves closer to realizing who and what they really are which once realized becomes empowerment.  

What does it mean to realize who and what you are?  It means that you now know that all the qualities of God are also qualities you process by virtue of ONENESS.All I have been seeking, I AM. Lifetime after lifetime after lifetime I have looked outside of myself  for a sense of completeness.   I sought it from money,  sex, power, beauty, religions, governments, 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 now  I am finally  aware that it equals 8 and my checkbook begins to balance.

Everything begins to  look and feel different because  I am seeing with new eyes.  I begin to reclaim the innate power of my Divine Sonship–the prodigal comes home.   I AM Self sustained and  Self maintained.  I AM complete, whole, abundant, joyous, intelligent, wise, and all that is infinitely embodied in Source.   The spiritual evolutionary journey  is  remembering this  through every experience where  it eventually becomes an attained state of consciousness.  
Each time an expression of duality or separation (good or evil) manifests personally or in the world,  there must be a gentle turning away-never denying appearances, but  knowing inwardly that three dimensional appearances have no law to sustain or maintain them and are simply  manifestations of conditioned mind beliefs .

The continual practice of this awareness, gradually evolves into a consciousness of spiritual  power attained through one’s personal journey of enlightenment and not by some person, place, or thing outside of self.
