Critique
Critique is not helpful. It stunts flow. It stunts alignment. It stunts beauty. It stunts innovation. And it stunts creativity.
I held a corporate style job where I was so overly critiqued that I was like why am I even here. What is the point. Critique puts limitations on the world. It pulls us back from the everything is possible to the impossible.
True Growth
What is true growth? It is when you completely and utterly surrender an old part of yourself. And finally let go of that part of you to truly transcend it with the beautiful light and love of source.
This is very different from intellectual growth. Or learning something new. Or Intellectalizing something in your brain. When you intellectualize something and learn that is growth that entails only a small piece of your true self.
Alignment Marketing
As I have since transitioned out of the world of the traditional workplace, I have had some realizations surrounding the future of marketing and what marketing might look like as the planet’s shift in consciousness continues.
Shift Parenting Burnout
But the burnout is there for a reason. It’s a flashing sign saying this structure, this system is no longer working. It’s time to shift. It’s time to shift to lives that are filled with more time for family, more joy, slower paced lives filled with peace and love, alignment to our true values, loving flow and creativity. True freedom and space to blossom as individuals, as parents, as colleagues and as community members.
What is Motivating You: Fear or Love
So much of our world is driven by fear. So many underlying motivations stem from fears. And half the time, we don’t even realize that fear is the underlying motivation.
I just departed a corporate company where much of the culture was driven by fear. And what is quite wild is that everyone was used to this and ok with this. Fear manifests in different ways such as control, a sense of lack, unfulfillment, judgement, etc.
Orchestrate
This is the truth of the buzz term ‘manifestation.’
The definition of manifestation is an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea.
Manifestation is the result. Its source coming into form. But to get to this. You first have to be the conductor of your life, be in the flow of the orchestra and let the light shine through you so that you can manifest all that you wish and desire from your heart.
Defeat
There is no awakening without defeat. Because it is unto the cracking, unto the breaking, unto the shattering that the light can seep in.
If you do not hit the bottom. If you do not fall into defeat. If you do not let go and let in with your arms up in the air waving in absolute and utter yielding of all that you are, then you are still being run by the ego.
Fear
I have been there. I have intensely and intimately felt so much fear. It has rocked me to my core, it has squeezed my heart in a vice, it has viscerally ensconced me in a shroud of darkness.
But it was there to be healed. It was there to be released. It was there to move through and let go once and for all. There were so many moments where I had to face my fears and sit with them and be with them and hold them.
Tension
There is so much tension building right now between the old and the new. I can feel it. It’s potent within our energy field.
But tension creates its own powerful vibration. It’s as if two boulders are grinding next to each other which is creating an immense amount of heat. And heat is power, it’s transformative. It burns everything creating a perfect base for re-birth.
Busyness
But there is a reason for that. We are staying busy on purpose. Because if we stop. We have to feel. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have to address what keeps chasing us. We have to face our fears, our hollowness, our underlying subconscious limiting beliefs that haunt us.
If we stop we have to face ourselves. Our whole selves. Even the darkness within that is begging to be healed. That is begging to be seen so it can be released.
And that is scary.
Ignite from Within
Let the overcomplicated, stressful, fear-based, ego driven, busy paradigm burn to the ground. Let the political duality, the big name corporate America, the pollutive, consumeristic driven society go up in flames. Let the power hungry, war mongering, masculine dominated ethos turn to ashes. Let the old be consumed by the fierceness of our convictions, by the fierceness of our love, by the fierceness of our yearnings for peace and joy.
What Awakening Really Is
What is an awakening? And what is spiritual enlightenment?
It turns out it’s not a concept. It’s not spiritual. It’s not religious. It’s not something that you become or reach for or accomplish.
It’s just you. At the end of the day, when it’s all said in done. It’s just you. And you realize that the ego you doesn’t actually ‘get’ anything. It doesn’t ‘get’ more spiritual. It doesn’t ‘get’ more enlightened. It’s just you coming into the wholeness of yourself. The you that isn’t limited by labels or definitions. Just the pure and true and beautiful you.
Soul Yearnings
Our soul yearnings are sacred. Our desires and dreams and wishes are sacred. They are sacred because we are creator beings. We create our world. We create the energy and vibrations that exist on this earth. By shutting the door in the face of your yearnings, in the face of your dreams, that is essentially you shutting the door in the face of your power. That is you saying no to the life force power that emanates forth from within all of us. And that is not how our Higher Selves want us to live. We are here to grow, to learn, and to bring about a new paradigm right now. We are here to co-create together a new way of being on our beautiful mother earth.
The Stages of the Dark Night of the Soul
The Dark Night is part of the awakening process and happens when you hit a certain point along your journey. Its purpose is woven into your own unique unfolding, soul lessons and path. The hardest part of this Dark Night of the Soul is that it disconnects you from the Universe. That is a tell-tale sign that you are in one: where there was once connection to spirit, where there was once flow and light from within, that gets completely and utterly disconnected during the Dark Night.
Joy
What is joy? True Joy?
It’s being in deep flow and presence with your entire being. It’s just being you.
It has nothing to do with accomplishments, or success, or money, or things.
It is not based on anything outside yourself. You cannot buy joy. You cannot produce it through striving, and driving forward, and reaching.
It always comes from within. It’s the light, the beingness, the presence of your true nature. You don’t need to be doing anything to feel pure joy. It just is.
Sensitive
In our modern, patriarchal and masculine driven society right now the word sensitive is commonly interpreted as weak, soft, delicate, careful. We look down on the word sensitive and we deem it less important than other attributes such as strength or power. We see those who are sensitive as emotional or subordinate.
But what I have realized along the awakening path is that being sensitive is a gate to the other realms, it is the connection across the cosmos, it is the opening of the heart, it is the joyful beingness of oneness.
Judgement
But right now, many of us in our modern society are so judgmental and so harsh and we push ourselves, and try and prove ourselves so intensely, whether in our work, in our parenthood, in our athletic achievements, etc. and so forth. And so many of us do this to cover up the unworthiness we feel deep down, the judgement of ourselves deep down. We don’t truly, unconditionally love who we are, so we cover it up with so many different things. I have been there, and my main cover up was my job.
After the Dark Night
When I began to step out of the Dark Night, it was as if I was a completely different person inside. I felt so light, so empty. My being felt as if so much had been dropped and so much had been let go of that when I closed my eyes there was so much more space.
