“You already know…” |
|
Remember, you already know how to swim . . .
Sometimes when we are deep within the illusion of our lower self we forget who we are and where our power truly comes from . . .
Within the fictitious world our lower self attempts to create, we see ourselves as incapable, small and helpless. We look for external sources to be our life preserver, we forget that we already know how to swim, and try to grab on to someone who we deem to be stronger and more powerful than we are.
The lower self feels triumphant when we do this because we have further denied our own power. The lower self is on a high because we have bought into the false world that the lower self has projected and we are perceiving our Source in someone else, someone who has no ability to fulfill that role.
We have forgotten that we already know how to swim, we have forgotten who we are. We are banking on that the person who we have the perception as being stronger and more powerful can hold their weight and bare ours as well. We falsely perceive our Source in someone else, someone who has no ability to truly fulfill that role. The lower self is gleeful because the illusion now has the possibility to spread to our false source and they may sink under the strain. This would be to the lower self’s greatest satisfaction because misery loves company and the more in misery the merrier the lower self is.
Who is your Source . . .
All the while our Higher Self is reminding us that our True Source is within US, that we are ONE with the Universal Source (God/Goddess/Creator). Our Angels, Guardians, Guides, and the Ascended Masters are all reminding us that we ALREADY KNOW how to swim and that the only life preserver that is infallible, unsinkable is the Universal Source.
When we remember our Divine Birthright, the fictitious, false world of the lower self is shattered. We remember that through our Higher Self, through our Divine Connection we already know how to swim. We already know. We always have access to the knowledge, because it is within us. When we recognize who our Source truly is, the lower self is now denied because we now perceive our True Self and see our self as capable, strong and empowered!
Who’s Got the Power? You Do!
Our Higher Self is the beacon and the buoy, the direct link to our Divine Self. Our connection to the Universal Source provides us with unlimited Divine Power. Knowledge, resources, health, opportunities, abundance, it all flows from the Universal Source directly through us!
When we realize that through our Divine Connection to the Universal Source, there is no external source that is stronger, more powerful or more capable than us, the lower self has now been defeated! The lower self is now the one to sink, and we are left to bask in the Glory of our True Self! This is to the Universal Source’s and to our Higher Self’s greatest happiness because when we remember who we are, when we shine our True Light others have the opportunity to see their True Self REFLECTED in the Glorious Light that shines within us ALL!
As we each remember our Truth, instead of the illusion, instead of the misery spreading, the Light illuminates the True Paradise in which we all reside. The fictitious, false world of the lower self is destroyed and we see our world as it truly is, as a beautiful, bountiful, joyful, safe, supportive sanctuary!
Give Credit Where Credit is Due . . . It is an inside job after all . . .
One of the tricks of the lower self’s trade is to get us to give all the credit for our progress, for our health, for our growth, all the credit for our happiness, bounty and blessings to an external source. This is just another of the lower self’s illusions, one in the same game to get us to give our power away, to deny our own True Self by glorifying someone else.
Gratitude is a very healthy expression and can help us remember that the world is a supportive, loving, bountiful place. Gratitude helps us be receptive and acknowledges others for their efforts. When in balance, the recipient can accept gratitude without needing it as an energetic source of sustenance and the one expressing gratitude can express it without denying their own True Power.
When we remember that it is an inside job, we then can truly give credit where credit is due. Lest we fall into the lower self’s trap and perceive our source outside ourselves, glorifying another’s power while denying our own.
There is no author, no teacher, no healer, no doctor, no counselor, and no therapist, there is no other person in perceived authority that holds more power or more Light than anyone else. We are all connected to the same Source and that Universal Source flows directly through and within each of us, EQUALLY.
An author, teacher, counselor, doctor, healer, therapist, etc may have experience within their chosen field, they may have been walking the path and open to the Light of awareness that we have yet acknowledged. We may be able to benefit from their experience, from their awareness and from their ability to channel the Light. However, if we choose to benefit from that channeled Light, we have made the choice to participate! We have made the choice to grow; we have made the choice to reawaken to the awareness that is within us ALL.
The teacher, the author, the counselor, the doctor, the healer may provide a platform for us to learn, for us to remember, for us to reawaken to our health and happiness. Yet, we must step upon that platform. It is only through our own actions that any healing may take place. It is only through our awareness, our acceptance, our action, only through our willingness does anything happen to us or for us.
Remember when we thank someone for holding the door open for us that we chose to walk through it. By our ability, through our courage, by our willingness and by our OWN POWER, we walked through the door.
When we glorify another’s power and give them all the credit for our rediscovered awareness, we have not yet truly acknowledged our Divine Heritage, and we are still under the illusionary spell of the lower self.
The greatest compliment that can be paid to those who have helped illuminate our path is to bask within the glory of the Light that we have rediscovered within ourselves. For as we celebrate our Divine Truth, we naturally progress upon our own path which simultaneously helps to raise the vibration of the collective consciousness.
We may go back and visit, but we’ll never move back in . . .
We are reminded to not be disheartened or discouraged if we occasionally forget who we truly are. For the lower self is slow to accept defeat and will look for opportunities to lull us back into its illusionary world. Understand though, that once we have made that initial rediscovery of our Divine Heritage that the illusionary world of the lower self will never again feel right to us.
We may occasionally find ourselves back within the fictitious, fearful world of the lower self, perhaps revisiting that space to give us contrast or to keep us compassionate toward those who have not yet broken their own spell of illusion.
However, once we have made that initial rediscovery of our Divine Truth, we are then quicker to respond to the Higher Self’s affirmations of our Light and we are quicker to have the awareness when we have temporarily slipped back into the space of illusion. We may go back and visit, but once we have rediscovered the Paradise of Our Truth, we will never fully move back into the fictitious, fearful world of the lower self.
Consider before you put someone up on a petalstool that they may not be fond of heights . . .
Most of the great masters stood with their feet upon the ground or sat upon the bare earth . . . Perhaps those who we consider to be the great masters were merely demonstrating what we are all capable of. They were teaching by example what we might all achieve, if we choose. In our own way, through our own Divine Expression we are all great masters when we acknowledge our Truth.
When we wish to put someone up on a petalstool and give them glory, then perhaps we may wish to consider putting our self upon a petalstool as well. For the glorious light that we perceive within the other person is none but the reflection of our own Divine Potential.
Remember, it is all just a game, and a game that you actually cannot loose . . .
Our Divine Truth is Eternal and All Encompassing. Consider that our Divine Heritage has us already as Masters and that we are simply playing a game, the game called Physical Life. It is an educational game to be sure, but make no mistake, it is a game. It is a game that we cannot loose because we are already Perfect, we are already Masters, we have already learned the lessons, and we are just working it all out upon the physical playing field. We cannot loose this game called Physical Life because we are Eternal and we are connected to that which is All Encompassing, this space that we are in right now is a mere fragment of our totality.
Each time we play the game called Physical Life we embark upon a journey of Rediscovery . . .
Dare to Rediscover your Truth . . . Dare to Reunite yourself with the Master within . . . Dare to Shine your Light . . . and in your own way, go ahead and Express your Divine Truth . . . Dare to Realize that the Universal Source flows directly through you! Dare to Reclaim your True Power!
Why not? You cannot loose, You are already Powerful! You are already Perfect! You are already ONE with Universal Wisdom . . . You are already ONE with the Universal Source!
It is your Universe! What do you wish to create? What do you wish to discover?
Play the Game! Enjoy the Journey! You cannot loose . . .
Remember, you already know how to swim! You already know!
