On life´s journey we may come to realise we are portraying several roles which strangely appear to have little to do with our true inner self.
Surely when we are finally able to express ourselves naturally on every dimension, we are then in the flow of our spiritual destiny?
This can be a major challenge, as we are constantly faced with choices upon how to dedicate time and energy, and with whom to share and participate.
How often do we feel we are having a superficial conversation, and how frequently do we truly resonate with another in what we perceive to be authentic communication?
In actual fact, the more authentic we become, through understanding ourselves within, the greater is our ability to express ourselves sincerely and openly. Paradoxically however, we may come to realise how artificial some interactions with others can be. On the other hand, other relationships may become deeper and more meaningful.
As we become more spiritually aware, the meditation upon "I Am" becomes a deeper experience, and much of what "I Am Not" resurfaces and begins to fall away.
This process can involve changing friendships, leaving behind old habits and interests, undertaking new paths and perspectives. This may even lead to making a strong lifechanging decision.
Some of the greatest tests of authenticity may be found in our behaviour. Are we able to speak and act equally in both the presence, and in the absence of key people in our lives?
Authenticity requires inner soul searching, and calls upon our sense of honour, virtue and courage to be true to our own hearts without fear of the consequences or rejection.
Complete honesty with oneself leads to recognition of our shadow self or "dark side" which we sometimes mistakenly project upon others through blame and judgement. Can we truly accept seeing ourselves in the mirror at these times of confrontation with others?
Healing through forgiveness of the self and others illuminates the path of love and understanding. It encompasses and embraces our light within so it may shine projecting us onwards towards rewarding authentic relationships and joyful conscious communication.
Everpresent, the soul emerges in splendour after shedding all conditioned thinking, imposed beleifs and ideals to find freedom.
The Authentic Self is powerful yet humble, vulnerable yet strong...
Our unique gift and inner guide to self realization.
