Judge This

Life is often filled with less problems that it seems. Often times we add to our own challenges through our assumptions and judgments. How often have you been talking with someone and stopped listening half way through? Have you jumped to conclusions with another lately? Have you ever noticed how frequently we tend to jump to negative conclusions instead of positive ones?

Our authenticity certainly doesn’t live in the world of our judgements and conclusions. For today choose to tap deeper into your authenticity just by leaving some wiggle room in your life. Come from a clean slate so that you aren’t drudging up past events and conclusions; look at your day, your problem or another person as if you were new to each experience. Forget past hurts or problems or difficulties when entering your day. Or, even better yet, make positive assumptions and conclusions like assuming that things will work out and that others are wanting to work with you. And then find yourself in a more authentic state of being.

Esoteric Living

Today’s focus on authenticity is for the brave and courageous. No doubt you have heard the saying that 80% of the world is asleep and that the other 20%… Well, they see the world differently, experience different things and have a different experience of life. It is even said that they may see colors differently. This is because those 20% live on the edge and live authentically.

How do you join the 20% and play to the beat of a different drummer? You begin by forgetting everything you have been taught. You let go of all of the things that you think you should hold on to and you examine and question everything you believe in and live by. You let everything go so that you are left with everything you are.

When you clear your slate this way it leaves you room to see things anew and begins to tap you into the vision that the 20% have. You realize that someone cutting you off and taking your parking space is only insulting when you believe it is. When you have vision, your clear slate frees you up to see this experience from different angles and different eyes. You see that your energy isn’t worth the emotional charge of being angry at someone you don’t know; you see that being insulted can only happen when you allow it, since you get to be empowered enough to choose your response. A clean slate creates a clear perception. A clear perception is like opening several phone lines and listening to more than your own experience. Suddenly you realize that the person who cut you off is telling you a lot about themselves. Life is suggesting a different parking space, perhaps providing you a synchronistic experience elsewhere. No, the 20% don’t bother with such insignificant things. Instead they save their energy for what is truly important.

Yes, the 20% choose their lives. They define who they are and they and choose their experiences. They are not victims to whom life happens, but rather co-creators.

Free yourself of what you think you are supposed to be and do. Free yourself of your own feelings of entitlement, of being wronged, of judgement or any other negativity. These are the real prisons of life that hold us back and keep us in the rat race. Engaging in such behaviors are what make us like anyone else and guarantee our place in the 80%.

When you are living a life of freedom and authenticity you begin to make plans in your life, plans that you know life will support. You begin to find intention and purpose in your life and these are so pronounced that you even find them in the small corners of life. When your focus is greater this way, you are being brave and courageous enough to be who you truly are and that authenticity begins to change your world so that you too are seeing a different set of colors.

I’ve noticed things changing for a few people in my meditation group. Opportunities that had previously been desired, but impossible to hold like wind, now seem to be showing up at the doors of their lives with flowers.

When we shift an energy in ourselves we can, and often will, experience a change so dramatic that the seas seem to part before us instead of presenting a wall of opposition. Being authentic creates just the kind of magnetism in us that will open doors that previously weren’t there. This is because when we are authentic we are also more connected to our Source Energy, and our Source Energy is unlimited and does not have to play by the rules of life. Thus, our Source Energy can bring anything into our lives, even when when it means breaking the laws of physicality.

Decide to see things anew: whether it is an old car you still have to drive or an old issue with someone. When we see things from a new perspective we leave our old grudges and our old feelings behind, right? Well, these are “old”, not authentic.

Choose to see things again from the eyes of your authenticity. It will shift your energy, your experience and your perspective

1. Notice that your needs, dreams and what’s important to you are all avenues to your authenticity.

2. The trick is to connect with these and make that choice to live honoring these.

Next, choose to live with the plan or purpose you have chosen. (You chose a plan or purpose when you connected with yourself, found what you need or what your dreams are and then chose to live accordingly).
