Selfhood... Making Choices...

Selfhood Pt. 3  Making choices 
Know yourself and know that you have choices.  It did not hit me until I was in middle age that I actually had choices.  I did not realize that I could make choices about my life that were not based on what I learned as a child.  And knowing myself allowed me to make better choices.   It may seem obvious that we make choices in our lives but what we need to realize is that those choices need to be conscious choices, that we make these choices about ourselves based on information about ourselves rather than allowing them to be made automatically by the programming we have received as a child. 

Selfhood Pt.2.... being ok with who you are

Much of what we do and even think has become so conditioned in us that we hardly know what we are thinking and especially feeling when we are thinking it.  That is why it becomes very important to consciously do the inventory of who we are.   One of the things on my list was simply ‘I like country music’.  Once I inventoried it I could claim it and feel it was a part of me.   I have to say that I enjoyed country music even more after that.   I could allow the joy that it gives me.  That is only one example.  So spend some time on that inventory.  You can write it down or you don’t have to, but I don’t recommend sharing your list with anyone, or tell them what you are doing.  It is ok, to tell your friend, ‘I like country music’ because that is claiming it but the list and the process is yours. Once you have worked on this inventory you know more about yourself and it is easier to accept yourself.  It’s easier to be ok with who you are.   

Selfhood...

An individual cannot reach their full potential without a strong sense of self. 
Getting a strong sense of self can be difficult because as children our sense of self is based on what we are taught, told and shown by parents, teachers, religious leaders, television and the environment around us.   Without proper guidance our entire sense of self is based on the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of others.  We grow up wondering who we are and feel defeated and without hope.   No matter your age you can develop your sense of self.   Start by taking an inventory.  Who are you?  What do you like?  What parts of your life give you joy and make you happy.  DON’T list your good and bad qualities.   List what you like, what you enjoy, what gives you joy.   Start looking at who YOU really are.    

Don't Stop...

As you walk along the earth path
Don’t stop thinking
Don’t stop asking questions
Don’t stop believing that the world is changing
Don’t stop believing that you are part of that change
As you walk your earth path
Don’t stop

Shaman....

Speak to the earth, animals and birds
Speak to the sky, thunder and light
Travel between, in and out
Walk the world between mastery and might
You were there, I remember you
Come fly with me now
On the wings of the eagle,The breath of the wind
The shaman walks into the future with computer and phone. 

Rays of Light to Guide us Home....

The earth is beautiful.  That is a reason that I enjoy taking nature photographs even though I don’t feel I do it justice at all.  Moments in time, a constantly changing natural order, a symphony of color and sound and diversity....  Sometimes we humans do not add to the beauty or care for it and yet we are a part of it.  Our wars leave great bloody holes in the earth, sometimes literally, sometimes energetically.  Some times our love, however and to whomever we express, it adds to the overall beauty, and harmony.
When I left town this evening the sun was starting to set.  Constantly changing and yet sometimes the same, I followed those clouds and colors all the way home.   Pinks, Reds, oranges, peach colors, and in the middle of it there was a ray of light between earth and sky....  We need those rays of light, to guide us home, to direct us in our love. We need to be those rays of light for the earth and for each other.   

Even My Small Efforts.....

“Greetings dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service.”  Thus begins a session by Lee Carroll of the spirit essence that speaks through him.  Kryon has been speaking through Lee since 1989 and while I knew about it I didn’t pay any attention to it until sometime last year.  Since, I found that I resonate with the message, I don’t have to join, I don’t have to pay anything for the information, and it is the most positive message I have ever heard.  There are books that can be purchased and live meetings that can be attended but to get the information free all one has to do is go to the website Kryon.com and it is all there to read or download for free.   In one of the books that I am currently reading I found this affirmation or declaration that I want to share because it speaks to what we can do to help bring about a world of love and peace.  It is simple and easy to repeat and here it is:  “I am that I am, and the divinity in me is going to make a difference on this planet.  I feel the truth when I hear it and when I read it.  Even my small efforts will create an energy that is larger than I can imagine, combined with others, to create peace on Earth.”  Page 172 KRYON Book 11 from a channeling in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in August 2006.
